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 slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers, in the city of David, —and Jehoram his son reigned in his steed.
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.
Now, he, had brethren, sons of Jehoshaphat—Azariah and Jehiel and Zechariah and Azariah, and Michael and Shephatiah, —all these, were 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.
and their father gave them large presents—of silver and of gold and of precious things, with cities of defence, in Judah, —but, the kingdom, gave he unto Jehoram, for, 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.
But, when Jehoram had arisen over the kingdom of his father, he strengthened himself, and slew all his brethren, with the sword, —moreover also some of the rulers of Israel.
5 Roa amby telo-polo taona Jehorama, fony izy vao nanjaka, ary valo taona no nanjakany tany Jerosalema.
Thirty-two years old, was Jehoram when he began to reign, —and, eight years, reigned he 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, like as did the house of Ahab, for, the daughter of Ahab, had he, to wife, —so he wrought wickedness, in the eyes of Yahweh.
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.
Howbeit Yahweh was not willing to destroy the house of David, because of the covenant which he had solemnised, unto David, —and as he had promised to give unto him a lamp, and unto his sons, all the days.
8 Tamin’ ny andron’ i Jehorama no niodinan’ ny Edomita ka tsy nanoa ny Joda, fa nanangana mpanjaka ho azy izy.
In his days, revolted the Edomites, from under the hand of Judah, —and set over themselves a 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 passed over, with his captains, and all his chariot, with him, -and it came to pass that he rose up by night, and smote the Edomites that were round about unto him, and the chariot-captains.
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 Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah—unto this day. Then, must Libnah needs revolt at the same time, from under his hand, —because he had forsaken Yahweh, 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.
He too, made high places among the mountains of Judah, —and caused the inhabitants of Jerusalem to be unchaste, and seduced Judah.
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 came there unto him, a writing, from Elijah the prophet, saying, —Thus, saith Yahweh, God of David thy father, Because thou hast not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat thy father, nor in the ways 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 hast walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and hast caused Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to be unchaste, after the unchastities of the house of Ahab, —moreover also, thine own brethren of the house of thy father who were better than thou, hast thou slain,
14 dia, indro, hasian’ i Jehovah areti-mandringana ny vahoakanao sy ny zanakao sy ireo vadinao mbamin’ ny biby fiompinao rehetra;
lo! Yahweh, is about to plague, with a great plague, thy people, -and thy children and thy wives, and all thy possessions;
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.
also, thyself, with sore diseases, with disease of thy bowels, -until thy bowels shall fall out, by reason of the disease, in a year added to a year.
16 Ary Jehovah namporisika ny Filistina sy ny Arabo izay ao akaikin’ ny Etiopiana hamely an’ i Jehorama;
And Yahweh stirred up against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines, and the Arabians, who were under the direction of the Ethiopians;
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 came up against Judah, and forced their way into it, and carried off all the possessions that were found belonging to the house of the king, moreover also his sons and his wives, —so that there was left him never a son, save only Jehoahaz 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 this, Yahweh plagued him in his 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 came to pass, in a year beyond a year, even when the end of the days of two years had passed, that his bowels fell out by reason of his disease, so that he died, of, malignant disease, —and his people made him no burning, like the burning 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.
Thirty-two years old, was he when he began to reign, and, eight years, reigned he in Jerusalem, —and went his way—unregretted, and, though they buried him in the city of David, yet, not in the sepulchres of the kings.
