2 Tantara 21
1 Le nitrao-piròtse aman-droae’e t’Iehosafate naho nalentek’ aman-droae’e an-drova’ i Davide ao; Iehorame ana’e ty nandimbe aze nifehe.
And Jehoshaphat went to rest with his fathers, and his body was put into the earth in the town of David. And Jehoram his son became king in his place.
2 Nanan-droahalahy re, songa ana’ Iehosafate: i Azarià naho Iekiele naho i Zekariaho naho i Azariaho naho i Mikaele naho i Sefatià songa ana’ Iehosafate mpanjaka’ Israele.
And he had brothers, sons of Jehoshaphat, Azariah, Jehiel, Zechariah, Azariah, Michael, and Shephatiah; all these were sons of Jehoshaphat, king of Israel.
3 Nitoloran-drae’e ravoravo maro: volafoty naho volamena naho raha sarotse, reketse rova fatratse e Iehoda ao; fe natolo’e a’ Iehorame ty fifeheañe amy t’ie ty tañoloñoloña’e.
And their father gave them much silver and gold and things of great value, as well as walled towns in Judah; but the kingdom he gave to Jehoram, because he was the oldest.
4 Aa ie fa nitroatse ambone’ ty fifehean-drae’e naho nihafatratse, le fonga zinama’e am-pibara i rahalahi’e rey naho ty ila’o roandria’ Israeleo.
Now when Jehoram had taken his place over his father's kingdom, and had made his position safe, he put all his brothers to death with the sword, as well as some of the princes of Israel.
5 Nitelo-polo taoñe ro’ amby t’Iehorame te niorotse nifehe naho nifehe valo-taoñe e Ierosalaime ao,
Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he became king; and he was ruling in Jerusalem for eight years.
6 naho nañavelo an-state’ o mpanjaka’ Israeleo manahake ty anjomba’ i Akabe, (amy te tañanjomba’e ty anak’ ampela’ i Akabe) vaho nanao ze raty ampivazohoa’ Iehovà.
He went in the ways of the kings of Israel, and did as the family of Ahab did, for the daughter of Ahab was his wife; and he did evil in the eyes of the Lord.
7 Fe tsy nisitra’ Iehovà ty handrotsake i anjomba’ i Davidey, ty amy fañina nanoe’e amy Davidey, ie nampitama’e te hatolots’aze naho amo ana’eo ty failo hirehetse nainai’e donia.
But it was not the Lord's purpose to send destruction on the family of David, because of the agreement he had made with David, when he said he would give to him and to his sons a light for ever.
8 Niola ambanem-pità’ Iehoda ty Edome tañ’ andro’e vaho nañoriñe mpanjaka hifehe iareo.
In his time Edom made themselves free from the rule of Judah, and took a king for themselves.
9 Nitsake mb’eo mindre amo mpifehe’eo t’Iehorame naho o sarete’e iabio; le nitroatse haleñe vaho linafa’e o nte Edome niarikatok’ azeo naho o mpifehen-tsareteo.
Then Jehoram went over with his captains and all his war-carriages ... made an attack by night on the Edomites, whose forces were all round him ... on the captains of the war-carriages.
10 Mbe miola ambanem-pità’ Iehoda t’i Edome pak’ androany; le niola henane zay ka t’i Libnà tambanem-pità’e; amy te naforintse’e t’Iehovà, Andrianañaharen-droae’e.
So Edom made themselves free from the rule of Judah, to this day: and at the same time Libnah made itself free from his rule; because he was turned away from the Lord, the God of his fathers.
11 Mbore namboara’e toets’ abo o haboa’ Iehodao naho nampiveve o mpimone’ Ierosalaimeo hanoa’ iareo hakarapiloañe vaho nazi’e ka t’Iehoda.
And more than this, he made high places in the mountains of Judah, teaching the people of Jerusalem to go after false gods, and guiding Judah away from the true way.
12 Aa le niheo ama’e ty sokitse boak’ amy Elià mpitoky, nanao ty hoe: Hoe t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ i Davide rae’o; Kanao tsy nañaveloa’o ty sata’ Iehosafate rae’o naho ty sata’ i Asa mpanjaka’ Iehoda;
And a letter came to him from Elijah the prophet, saying, The Lord, the God of your father David, says, Because you have not kept to the ways of your father Jehoshaphat or the ways of Asa, king of Judah,
13 te mone mañavelo an-dala’ o mpanjaka’ Israeleo naho mampañarapilo Iehodà naho o mpimone’ Ierosalaimeo, manahake ty nampañarapiloa’ ty anjomba’ i Akabe Israele; mbore zinama’o o rahalahi’o añ’ anjomban-droae’o nisoa te ama’oo;
But have gone in the way of the kings of Israel, and have made Judah and the people of Jerusalem go after false gods, as the family of Ahab did: and because you have put to death your father's sons, your brothers, who were better than yourself:
14 le Inao! ho lafae’ Iehovà angorosy mandrambañe ondati’oo naho o ana’oo naho o vali’oo vaho ze vara’o iaby;
Now, truly, the Lord will send a great destruction on your people and your children and your wives and everything which is yours:
15 vaho hanjekè’ ty areten-troke loza irehe ampara’ te mipontsoañ’ ama’o o aova’oo ami’ty areteñe lomoñandro lomoñandroy.
And you yourself will undergo the cruel pains of a disease in your stomach, so that day by day your inside will be falling out because of the disease.
16 Trinobo’ Iehovà ty tro’ o nte-Pelistio naho o nte-Arabe añ’ila’ o nte-Koseoo ty hiatreatre am’ Iarovame;
Then the Philistines and the Arabians, who are by Ethiopia, were moved by the Lord to make war on Jehoram;
17 le nionjo haname Iehoda iereo naho niboroboñak’ ama’e naho fonga tinava’ iareo ty vara añ’ anjomba’ i mpanjakay naho o ana-dahi’eo naho o vali’eo; vaho tsy nadoke anadahy re naho tsy Iehoakaze tsitson’ ana’ey.
And they came up against Judah, forcing a way into it, and took away all the goods in the king's house, as well as his sons and his wives; so that he had no son but only Jehoahaz, the youngest.
18 Ie añe izay le nampanjekè’ Iehovà am-pisafoa re ami’ty rare tsy lefe jangañeñe,
And after all this the Lord sent on him a disease of the stomach from which it was impossible for him to be made well.
19 ie añe naho nimodo ty roe taoñe, le nipororoake boak’ ao o aova’eo ty amy arete’ey vaho navetra’ i areten-dratiy. Tsy nanao afo bey ho aze ondatio manahake ty nanoa’ iereo an-droae’e.
And time went on, and after two years, his inside falling out because of the disease, he came to his death in cruel pain. And his people made no burning for him like the burning made for his fathers.
20 Ni-telopolo taoñe ro’amby re te niorotse nifehe, le nifeleke e Ierosalaime ao valo taoñe vaho nienga tsy nikokoañe. Nalente’ iareo an-drova’ i Davide ao fa tsy amo kiborim-panjakao.
He was thirty-two years old when he became king, and he was ruling in Jerusalem for eight years: and at his death he was not regretted; they put his body into the earth in the town of David, but not in the resting-place of the kings.
