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 Josaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David: and Joran his son reigned in his stead.
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.
And he had brothers, the six sons of Josaphat, Azarias, and Jeiel, and Zacharias, and Azarias, and Michael, and Zaphatias: all these [were] the sons of Josaphat king of Juda.
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.
And their father gave them many gifts, silver, and gold, and arms, together with fortified cities in Juda: but he gave the kingdom to Joram, for he [was] the first-born.
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.
And Joram entered upon his kingdom, and strengthened himself, and slew all his brothers with the sword, and [some] of the princes of Israel.
5 Roa amby telo-polo taona Jehorama, fony izy vao nanjaka, ary valo taona no nanjakany tany Jerosalema.
When he was thirty and two years old, Joram succeeded to his kingdom, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.
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 he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did the house of Achaab; for a daughter of Achaab was his wife: and he did that which was 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.
nevertheless the Lord would not utterly destroy the house of David, because of the covenant which he made with David, and as he said to him that he would give a light to him and his sons for ever.
8 Tamin’ ny andron’ i Jehorama no niodinan’ ny Edomita ka tsy nanoa ny Joda, fa nanangana mpanjaka ho azy izy.
In those days Edom revolted from Juda, and they made a king over themselves.
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.
And Joram went with the princes, and all the cavalry with him: and it came to pass that he arose by night, and smote Edom that compassed him about, and the captains of the chariots, and the people fled to their tents.
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.
And Edom revolted from Juda until this day. Then Lomna at that time revolted from [under] his hand, because he forsook the Lord 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.
For he built high places in the cities of Juda, and caused the dwellers in Jerusalem to go a-whoring, and led Juda 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,
And there came to him [a message] in writing from Eliu the prophet, saying, Thus saith the Lord God of thy father David, Because thou hast not walked in the way of thy father Josaphat, nor in the ways of Asa king of Juda,
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 hast walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, and hast caused Juda and the dwellers in Jerusalem to go a-whoring, as the house of Achaab caused [Israel] to go a-whoring, and thou hast slain thy brethren, the sons of thy father, who were better than thyself;
14 dia, indro, hasian’ i Jehovah areti-mandringana ny vahoakanao sy ny zanakao sy ireo vadinao mbamin’ ny biby fiompinao rehetra;
behold, the Lord shall smite thee with a great plague among thy people, and thy sons, and thy wives, and all thy store:
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 thou [shalt be afflicted] with a grievous disease, with a disease of the bowels, until thy bowels shall fall out day by day with the sickness.
16 Ary Jehovah namporisika ny Filistina sy ny Arabo izay ao akaikin’ ny Etiopiana hamely an’ i Jehorama;
So the Lord stirred up the Philistines against Joram, and the Arabians, and those who bordered on the Aethiopians:
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.
and they went up against Juda, and prevailed against them, and took away all the store which they found in the house of the king, and his sons, and his daughters; and there was no son left to him but Ochozias the youngest of his sons.
18 Ary nony afaka izany rehetra izany, dia nasian’ i Jehovah aretina tsy azo sitranina tamin’ ny tsinainy izy.
And after all these things the Lord smote him in the bowels with an incurable disease.
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.
And it continued from day to day: and when the time of the days came [to] two years, his bowels fell out with the disease, and he died by a grievous distemper: and his people performed no funeral, like the funeral of 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.
He was thirty and two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem. And he departed without honour, and was buried in the city of David, but not in the tombs of the kings.
