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.
Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the City of David: and Jehoram his son reigned 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.
He had brothers, the sons of Jehoshaphat: Azariah, and Jehiel, and Zechariah, and Azariah, and Michael, and Shephatiah; all these were the 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.
Their father gave them great gifts, of silver, and of gold, and of precious things, with fortified cities in Judah: but the kingdom gave he to Jehoram, because he was the firstborn.
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 was risen up over the kingdom of his father, and had strengthened himself, he killed all his brothers with the sword, and various also 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 began to reign; and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.
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 walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did the house of Ahab; for he had the daughter of Ahab as wife: and he did that which was evil in the sight 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.
However the LORD would not destroy the house of David, 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 Niola ambanem-pità’ Iehoda ty Edome tañ’ andro’e vaho nañoriñe mpanjaka hifehe iareo.
In his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and made a king over 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 passed over with his captains, and all his chariots with him: and he rose up by night, and struck the Edomites who surrounded him, along with the captains of the chariots.
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 revolted from under the hand of Judah to this day: then Libnah revolted at the same time from under his hand, because he had forsaken 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.
Moreover he made high places in the mountains of Judah, and made the inhabitants of Jerusalem to play the prostitute, and led Judah astray.
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;
A letter came to him from Elijah the prophet, saying, "Thus says the LORD, the God of David your father, 'Because you have not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat your father, nor in 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 walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and have made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to play the prostitute, like the house of Ahab did, and also have slain your brothers of your father's house, 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;
look, the LORD will strike with a great plague your people, and your children, and your wives, and all your substance;
15 vaho hanjekè’ ty areten-troke loza irehe ampara’ te mipontsoañ’ ama’o o aova’oo ami’ty areteñe lomoñandro lomoñandroy.
and you shall have great sickness by disease of your bowels, until your bowels fall out by reason of the sickness, day by day.'"
16 Trinobo’ Iehovà ty tro’ o nte-Pelistio naho o nte-Arabe añ’ila’ o nte-Koseoo ty hiatreatre am’ Iarovame;
The LORD stirred up against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines, and of the Arabians who are beside the Ethiopians:
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, and broke into it, and carried away all the substance that was found in the king's house, and his sons also, and his wives; so that there was never a son left him, except Jehoahaz, the youngest of his sons.
18 Ie añe izay le nampanjekè’ Iehovà am-pisafoa re ami’ty rare tsy lefe jangañeñe,
After all this the LORD struck him in his bowels with an incurable disease.
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.
It happened, in process of time, at the end of two years, that 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 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.
Thirty-two years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem eight years: and he departed without being desired; and they buried him in the City of David, but not in the tombs of the kings.
