2 Whakapapa 21
1 Na kua moe a Iehohapata ki ona matua, kua tanumia ki ona matua ki te pa o Rawiri; a ko Iehorama, ko tana tama, te kingi i muri i a ia.
Now Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David. And Jehoram his son reigned in his stead.
2 He teina ano ona, he tama na Iehohapata, ko Ataria, ko Tehiere, ko Hakaraia, ko Ataria, ko Mikaera, ko Hepatia. Ko enei katoa he tama na Iehohapata kingi o Iharaira.
And he had brethren the sons of Jehoshaphat, Azariah, and Jehiel, and Zechariah, and Azariah, and Michael, Shephatiah: all these [were] the sons of Jehoshaphat king of Israel.
3 I hoatu hoki etahi hakari nui e to ratou papa ki a ratou, he hiriwa, he koura, he taonga utu nui, he pa taiepa i Hura: ko te kingitanga ia i hoatu e ia ki a Iehorama; no te mea ko ia te matamua.
And their father gave them great gifts of silver, and of gold, and of precious things, with fortified cities in Judah: but the kingdom he gave to Jehoram; because he [was] the first-born.
4 A, ka kake a Iehorama ki te kingitanga o tona papa, ka whai kaha, na patua iho e ia ona teina katoa ki te hoari, me etahi o nga rangatira o Iharaira.
Now when Jehoram had risen to the kingdom of his father, he strengthened himself, and slew all his brethren with the sword, and [divers] also of the princes of Israel.
5 E toru tekau ma rua nga tau o Iehorama i a ia i kingi ai, a e waru ona tau i kingi ai ia ki Hiruharama.
Jehoram [was] thirty and two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.
6 Na haere ana ia i te ara o nga kingi o Iharaira, pera ana me ta te whare o Ahapa i mea ai; he wahine hoki nana te tamahine a Ahapa; heoi he kino tana mahi ki te titiro a Ihowa.
And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did the house of Ahab: for he had the daughter of Ahab for a wife: and he wrought [that which was] evil in the eyes of the LORD.
7 Otiia kihai i pai a Ihowa ki te whakangaro i te whare o Rawiri: i whakaaro ki te kawenata i whakaritea e ia ki a Rawiri, ki tana hoki i ki ai, ka hoatu he rama ki a ia, ki ana tama, i nga ra katoa.
Yet 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 light to him and to his sons for ever.
8 I ona ra ka maunu a Eroma i raro i te ringa o Hura, a whakakingitia ake e ratou he kingi mo ratou.
In his days the Edomites revolted from under the dominion of Judah, and made themselves a king.
9 Katahi ka haere a Iehorama ratou ko ana rangatira, me ana hariata katoa. Na maranga ana ia i te po, a patua iho e ia nga Eromi i karapotia ai ia, ratou ko nga rangatira o nga hariata.
Then Jehoram went forth with his princes, and all his chariots with him: and he rose by night, and smote the Edomites who encompassed him, and the captains of the chariots.
10 Heoi kua maunu a Eroma i raro i te ringa o Hura a taea noatia tenei ra. I maunu ano a Ripina i taua wa i raro i tona ringa, nona hoki i whakarere i a Ihowa, i te Atua o ona matua.
So the Edomites revolted from under the hand of Judah to this day. The same time [also] did Libnah revolt from under his hand; because he had forsaken the LORD God of his fathers.
11 Na i hanga e ia he wahi tiketike ki nga maunga o Hura, a meinga ana e ia nga tangata o Hiruharama kia moepuku, i kumea hoki e ia a Hura ki te he.
Moreover, he made high places in the mountains of Judah, and caused the inhabitants of Jerusalem to commit fornication, and compelled Judah to [do the same].
12 Na kua tae mai ki a ia he mea i tuhituhia e Iraia poropiti, e mea ana, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, a te Atua o tou papa, o Rawiri, Na, i te mea kihai koe i haere i nga ara o tou papa, o Iehohapata, i nga ara ano o Aha kingi o Hura;
And there came a writing to him from Elijah the prophet, saying, Thus saith the LORD 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 Engari haere ana koe i te ara o nga kingi o Iharaira, a meinga ana e koe a Hura, ratou ko nga tangata o Hiruharama, kia moepuku, kia rite ki nga moepuku o te whare o Ahapa; a patua ana e koe ou teina o te whare o tou papa, he hunga i pai ake i a koe:
But hast walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and hast made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to commit idolatry, like the idolatries of the house of Ahab, and also hast slain thy brethren of thy father's house, [who were] better than thyself:
14 Nana, he nui te whiu e whiua ai e Ihowa tou iwi, au tamariki, au wahine, me ou rawa katoa:
Behold, with a great plague will the LORD smite thy people, and thy children, and thy wives, and all thy goods:
15 A tera e nui ou mate, he mate no ou whekau, no ka puta ki waho ou whekau i te mate i tenei ra, i tenei ra.
And thou [shalt have] great sickness by disease of thy bowels, until thy bowels fall out by reason of the sickness day by day.
16 Na whakaarahia ana e Ihowa hei whawhai ki a Iehorama te wairua o nga Pirihitini, o nga Arapi ano i tata ki nga Etiopiana.
Moreover, the LORD stirred up against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines, and of the Arabians, that [were] near the Cushites.
17 Na ka whakaekea a Hura e ratou; kua pakaru ki roto, kahakina ake e ratou nga taonga katoa i rokohanga ki te whare o te kingi, ana tama, me ana wahine, kihai rawa tetahi tama ana i mahue ki a ia, ko Iehoahata anake, ko te whakaotinga o ana tama.
And they came up into 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 not a son left to him, save Jehoahaz the youngest of his sons.
18 I muri i tenei katoa ka patua e Ihowa ona whekau; he mate kihai i taea te rongoa.
And after all this the LORD smote him in his bowels with an incurable disease.
19 A ka maha nga ra, ka taea te mutunga o nga tau e rua, ka puta ona whekau ki waho, na tona mate hoki, a mate iho ia, he kino ona mate; kahore hoki a tona iwi tahunga mona pera me te tahunga mo ona matua.
And it came to pass, that in process of time, after the end of two years, his bowels fell out by reason of his sickness: so he died of severe diseases. And his people made no burning for him, like the burning of his fathers.
20 E toru tekau ma rua ona tau i tona kingitanga, a e waru ona tau i kingi ai ia ki Hiruharama: na kihai ia i matenuitia i tona haerenga; a tanumia ana ki te pa o Rawiri, engari kahore ki nga tanumanga o nga kingi.
Thirty and two years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem, eight years, and departed without being desired: yet they buried him in the city of David, but not in the sepulchers of the kings.
