2 Tantara 21
1 Ary Josafata lasa nodi-mandry any amin’ ny razany, dia nalevina tao amin’ ny razany tao an-Tanànan’ i Davida izy; ary Jehorama zanany no nanjaka nandimby azy.
And Jehoshaphat rested with his fathers and was buried with them in the City of David. And his son Jehoram reigned in his place.
2 Ary nanan-drahalahy, zanak’ i Josafata, koa izy, dia Azaria sy Jehiela sy Zakaria sy Azaria sy Mikaela ary Sefatia; ireo rehetra ireo no zanak’ i Josafata, mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely.
Jehoram’s brothers, the sons of Jehoshaphat, were Azariah, Jehiel, Zechariah, Azariah, Michael, and Shephatiah; these were all sons of Jehoshaphat king of Israel.
3 Ary nomen-drainy harena betsaka ireo, dia volafotsy sy volamena ary zava-tsoa mbamin’ ny tanàna sasany mimanda tany Joda; fa ny fanjakana kosa dia nomeny an’ i Jehorama, satria izy no lahimatoa.
Their father had given them many gifts of silver and gold and precious things, as well as the fortified cities in Judah; but he gave the kingdom to Jehoram because he was the firstborn.
4 Ary raha vao nanjaka tamin’ ny fanjakan’ ny rainy Jehorama, dia nitombo hery izy ka namono ny rahalahiny rehetra mbamin’ ny mpanapaka sasany tamin’ ny Isiraely koa tamin’ ny sabatra.
When Jehoram had established himself over his father’s kingdom, he strengthened himself by putting to the sword all his brothers along with some of the princes of Israel.
5 Roa amby telo-polo taona Jehorama, fony izy vao nanjaka, ary valo taona no nanjakany tany Jerosalema.
Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem eight years.
6 Ary nandeha tamin’ ny lalan’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely izy, dia tahaka ny nataon’ ny taranak’ i Ahaba fa zanakavavin’ i Ahaba no vadiny, eny, nanao izay ratsy eo imason’ i Jehovah izy.
And Jehoram walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, just as the house of Ahab had done. For he married a daughter of Ahab and did evil in the sight of the LORD.
7 Nefa Jehovah tsy nety nandringana ny taranak’ i Davida noho ny fanekena nataony tamin’ i Davida sy ny nilazany fa homeny jiro mandrakizay izy mbamin’ ny taranany.
Yet the LORD was unwilling to destroy the house of David, because of the covenant He had made with David, and since He had promised to maintain a lamp for David and his descendants forever.
8 Tamin’ ny andron’ i Jehorama no niodinan’ ny Edomita ka tsy nanoa ny Joda, fa nanangana mpanjaka ho azy izy.
In the days of Jehoram, Edom rebelled against the hand of Judah and appointed their own king.
9 Ka dia nivoaka Jehorama sy ireo mpanjaka nitondra ny kalesiny rehetra; ary nanaovany latsak’ alina ny Edomita izay nanodidina azy sy ny komandin’ ny kalesy.
So Jehoram crossed into Edom with his officers and all his chariots. When the Edomites surrounded him and his chariot commanders, he rose up and attacked by night.
10 Nefa ny Edomita mbola niodina ka tsy nanoa ny Joda ihany ambaraka androany. Ary tamin’ izany andro izany Libna koa niodina tsy nety nanoa an’ i Jehorama, satria efa nahafoy an’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitra ny razany, izy.
So to this day Edom has been in rebellion against the hand of Judah. Likewise, Libnah rebelled against his rule at the same time, because Jehoram had forsaken the LORD, the God of his fathers.
11 Ary nanao fitoerana avo teny an-tendrombohitr’ i Joda koa izy sady nampijangajanga ny mponina tany Jerosalema ary nitaona ny Joda mangingina hanao izany.
Jehoram had also built high places on the hills of Judah; he had caused the people of Jerusalem to prostitute themselves and had led Judah astray.
12 Ary nisy taratasy avy tamin’ i Elia mpaminany tonga tao aminy nanao hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitr’ i Davida rainao: Noho ny tsy nandehananao tamin’ ny lalan’ i Josafata rainao, na ny lalan’ i Asa, mpanjakan’ ny Joda,
Then a letter came to Jehoram from Elijah the prophet, which stated: “This is what the LORD, the God of your father David, says: ‘You have not walked in the ways of your father Jehoshaphat or of Asa king of Judah,
13 fa nandeha tamin’ ny lalan’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely kosa ianao ka nampijangajanga ny Joda sy ny mponina any Jerosalema toy ny fijangajangan’ ny taranak’ i Ahaba, sady novonoinao koa ny rahalahinao nateraky ny rainao, izay tsara noho ianao,
but you have walked in the ways of the kings of Israel and have caused Judah and the people of Jerusalem to prostitute themselves, just as the house of Ahab prostituted itself. You have also killed your brothers, your father’s family, who were better than you.
14 dia, indro, hasian’ i Jehovah areti-mandringana ny vahoakanao sy ny zanakao sy ireo vadinao mbamin’ ny biby fiompinao rehetra;
So behold, the LORD is about to strike your people, your sons, your wives, and all your possessions with a serious blow.
15 ary ianao koa ho azon’ ny aretina mafy, dia aretina amin’ ny tsinainao, mandra-pialàlan’ ny tsinainao isan’ andro isan’ andro noho ny aretina.
And day after day you yourself will suffer from a severe illness, a disease of your bowels, until it causes your bowels to come out.’”
16 Ary Jehovah namporisika ny Filistina sy ny Arabo izay ao akaikin’ ny Etiopiana hamely an’ i Jehorama;
Then the LORD stirred against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines and Arabs who lived near the Cushites.
17 ary niakatra tany Joda ireo ka nisesika tao, dia nobaboiny ny fananana rehetra izay an’ ny ankohonan’ ny mpanjaka mbamin’ ny zanany sy ny vadiny koa, ka tsy nisy zanany intsony, afa-tsy Joahaza faralahiny ihany.
So they went to war against Judah, invaded it, and carried off all the possessions found in the king’s palace, along with his sons and wives; not a son was left to him except Jehoahaz, his youngest.
18 Ary nony afaka izany rehetra izany, dia nasian’ i Jehovah aretina tsy azo sitranina tamin’ ny tsinainy izy.
After all this, the LORD afflicted Jehoram with an incurable disease of the bowels.
19 Ary rehefa ela, nony afaka roa taona, dia nialàla ny tsinainy azon’ ny aretiny; ka dia maty tamin’ ny fangirifiriana mafy izy. Ary ny vahoakany tsy mba nandoro zavatra ho fisaonana azy toy ny nataony tamin’ ny razany.
This continued day after day until two full years had passed. Finally, his intestines came out because of his disease, and he died in severe pain. And his people did not make a fire in his honor as they had done for his fathers.
20 Roa amby telo-polo taona izy, fony vao nanjaka, ary valo taona no nanjakany tany Jerosalema; koa lasa tsy nisy nalahelo azy izy. Ary nalevina tao an-Tanànan’ i Davida ihany izy, nefa tsy mba tao amin’ ny fasan’ ny mpanjaka.
Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem eight years. He died, to no one’s regret, and was buried in the City of David, but not in the tombs of the kings.
