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.
Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in David’s city; and Jehoram his son 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.
He had brothers, the sons of Jehoshaphat: Azariah, Jehiel, Zechariah, Azariah, Michael, and Shephatiah. All these were the 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 gave them great gifts of silver, of gold, and of precious things, with 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.
Now when Jehoram had risen up over the kingdom of his father, and had strengthened himself, he killed all his brothers with the sword, and also 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 began to reign, 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.
He walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did Ahab’s house, for he had Ahab’s daughter as his wife. He did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight.
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.
However Yahweh would not destroy David’s house, because of the covenant that he had made with David, and as he promised to give a lamp to him and to his children always.
8 Tamin’ ny andron’ i Jehorama no niodinan’ ny Edomita ka tsy nanoa ny Joda, fa nanangana mpanjaka ho azy izy.
In his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and 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.
Then Jehoram went there with his captains and all his chariots with him. He rose up by night and struck the Edomites who surrounded him, along with the captains of the chariots.
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 has been in revolt from under the hand of Judah to this day. Then Libnah revolted 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.
Moreover he made high places in the mountains of Judah, and made the inhabitants of Jerusalem play the prostitute, and 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,
A letter came to him from Elijah the prophet, saying, “Yahweh, the God of David your father, says, ‘Because you have not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat your 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 have walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and have made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to play the prostitute like Ahab’s house did, and also have slain your brothers of your father’s house, who were better than yourself,
14 dia, indro, hasian’ i Jehovah areti-mandringana ny vahoakanao sy ny zanakao sy ireo vadinao mbamin’ ny biby fiompinao rehetra;
behold, Yahweh will strike your people with a great plague, including your children, your wives, and all your 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.
and you will have great sickness with a disease of your bowels, until your bowels fall out by reason of the sickness, day by day.’”
16 Ary Jehovah namporisika ny Filistina sy ny Arabo izay ao akaikin’ ny Etiopiana hamely an’ i Jehorama;
Yahweh stirred up against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines and of the Arabians who are beside 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, broke into it, and carried away all the possessions that were found in the king’s house, including his sons and his wives, so that there was no son left to him except 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.
After all this Yahweh struck 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.
In process of time, at the end of two years, his bowels fell out by reason of his sickness, and he died of severe diseases. His people made no burning for him, 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.
He was thirty-two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem eight years. He departed with no one’s regret. They buried him in David’s city, but not in the tombs of the kings.
