२ इतिहास 21
1 यहोशापात आफ्ना पुर्खाहरूसित सुते र तिनीहरूसँग दाऊदको सहरमा गाडिए । तिनका ठाउँमा तिनका छोरा यहोराम राजा भए ।
Then Jehoshaphat died, and was buried where his ancestors were buried in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’. Then his son Jehoram became the king [of Judah].
2 यहोरामका भाइहरू, यहोशापातका छोराहरू अजर्याह, यहीएल, जकरिया, अजर्याह, मिखाएल र शपत्याह थिए । यी सबै इस्राएलका राजा यहोशापातका छोराहरू थिए ।
His [younger] brothers were Azariah, Jehiel, Zechariah, Azariah, Michael, and Shephatiah.
3 तिनका बुबाले तिनीहरूलाई सुन, चाँदी र बहुमूल्य थोकहरूका ठुला उपहारहरू र यहूदाका किल्ला भएका सहरहरू पनि दिए, तर राज्यचाहिं तिनले यहोरामलाई नै दिए ।
Before Jehoshaphat died, he gave them gifts of silver and gold and other valuable things. He also appointed them to rule various cities in Judah that had walls around them. But he appointed Jehoram to be the king of Judah, because Jehoram was his oldest son.
4 जब यहोराम आफ्ना बुबाको राज्यमा उदाएका र आफैलाई राजाको रूपमा बलियोसँग स्थापित गरेका थिए, तब तिनले आफ्ना सबै भाइलाई र इस्राएलका धेरै जना अगुवालाई तरवारले मारे ।
After Jehoram was completely in control of his father’s kingdom, he had all of his [younger] brothers executed, along with some of the leaders of the nation.
5 यहोरामले राज्य गर्न सुरु गर्दा तिनी बत्तिस वर्षका थिए र तिनले येरूशलेममा आठ वर्ष राज्य गरे ।
Jehoram was 32 years old when he became the king, and he ruled in Jerusalem for eight years.
6 आहाबका घरानाले गरेझैं तिनी इस्राएलका राजाहरूका चालमा हिंडे, किनकि तिनले आहाबकी छोरीलाई आफ्नी पत्नीको रूपमा ल्याए, र तिनले परमप्रभुको दृष्टिमा जे खराब थियो सो गरे ।
But he did many of the [evil] things that the kings of Israel had done. He did many things that Yahweh considers to be evil, things that the family of Ahab had done, because he married one of Ahab’s daughters.
7 तापनि दाऊदसित परमप्रभुले गर्नुभएको करारको खातिर उहाँले दाऊदको घरानालाई नाश गर्ने इच्छा गर्नुभएन । उहाँले दाऊद र तिनका सन्तानहरूलाई सधैँ जीवन दिने प्रतिज्ञा उहाँले गर्नुभएको थियो ।
However, because of the agreement that Yahweh had made with King David, Yahweh did not want to get rid of the descendants of David. He had promised that David’s descendants would always be the ones who ruled Judah.
8 यहोरामको समयमा एदोमले यहूदाको अधीनताको विरोध गर्यो, र तिनीहरूले आफ्नै राजा स्थापित गरे ।
While Jehoram was ruling, the people of [the] Edom [region] rebelled against [the king of] Judah and appointed their own king.
9 तब यहोराम आफ्ना फौज पतिहरू र सबै रथका साथमा एदोमतिर गए । तिनी उठेर एदोमीहरूसँग युद्ध गर्दा रात परेको थियो । एदोमीहरूले तिनी र तिनका रथका फौज पतिहरूलाई घेरेका थिए ।
So Jehoram and his officers and his men in chariots went to Edom. There, the army of Edom surrounded them. Jehoram escaped during the night.
10 यसैले एदोम आजको दिनसम्मै यहूदाको अधीनताको विरुद्धमा छ । त्यसै बेला लिब्नाले पनि तिनको अधीनताको विरुद्धमा विद्रोह गर्यो, किनभने यहोरामले परमप्रभु आफ्ना पुर्खाहरूका परमेश्वरलाई त्यागेका थिए ।
But the king of Judah was never able to regain control of Edom, and Edom is still not controlled by Judah. [The people in] Libnah [city between Judah and Philistia] also rebelled against Judah. Those things happened because Jehoram turned away from [obeying] Yahweh, the God whom his ancestors [belonged to].
11 यसबाहेक यहोरामले यहूदाका पहाडमा अल्गा ठाउँहरू पनि बनाएका थिए र तिनले यरूशलेमका बासिन्दाहरूलाई वेश्याहरूजस्तै जिउने बनाए र यहूदालाई कुमार्गमा लगाए ।
On the hilltops in Judah he had also built shrines [to worship idols], and had caused the people of Judah to stray away from Yahweh by worshiping foreign gods.
12 एलिया अगमवक्ताबाट यहोरामकहाँ एउटा पत्र आयो । त्यसमा लेखिएको थियो, “तपाईंका पुर्खा दाऊदका परमप्रभु परमेश्वर यसो भन्नुहुन्छ: ‘तँ आफ्ना बुबा यहोशापात चालमा चलिनस्, न त यहूदाका राजा आसाको चालमा नै चलिस्,
One day, Jehoram received a letter from the prophet Elijah. Elijah had written this in the letter: “This is what Yahweh, the God whom your ancestor [King] David [worshiped], says: 'You have not done things that please me like your father Jehoshaphat did or what King Asa did.
13 तर आहाबको घरानाले गरेझैं इस्राएलका राजाहरूका चालमा चलेर आहाबको परिवारले गरेजस्तै तैंले यहूदा र यरूशलेमका बासिन्दाहरूलाई वेश्याहरूजस्तै गर्न लगाइस्, र तैंले तँभन्दा असल तेरा बुबाका परिवारका आफ्नै भाइहरू, तँभन्दा असल मानिसहरू पनि तैंले मारिस् —
Instead, you have continually done the [evil things] that the kings of Israel have done. You have encouraged the people in Jerusalem and other places in Judah to stop worshiping Yahweh, like the descendants of Ahab did. You have also murdered your own brothers, who were more righteous men than you are.
14 हेर्, तेरा मानिसहरू, तेरा छोराछोरी, तेरी पत्नीहरू र तेरा सबै धन-सम्पत्तिमा परमप्रभुले प्रहार गर्नुहुनेछ ।
So now Yahweh is about to very severely punish the people in your kingdom and even your own children and your wives and everything that you own.
15 तँ आफैलाई चाहिं निको नहुने आन्द्राको रोग हुनेछ । त्यसले गर्दा दिनदिनै तेरा आन्द्रा बाहिर निस्केर आउनेछन् ।”
And you yourself will have an intestinal disease that will continue to become worse, and you will suffer from it until you die.'”
16 परमप्रभुले यहोरामको विरुद्धमा कूशीहरूका नजिकै बस्ने पलिश्ती र अरबीहरूलाई उक्साउनुभयो ।
Then Yahweh caused some men from the Philistia people-group and some Arabs who lived near the coast [of the Mediterranean Sea], where people from Ethiopia had settled, to become angry with Jehoram.
17 तिनीहरूले यहूदालाई हमला गरेर आक्रमण गरे र राजाको महलमा फेला पारेका सबै धन-सम्पत्ति लिएर गए । तिनीहरूले तिनका छोराहरू र पत्नीहरू पनि लगे । कान्छा छोरा अहज्याहबाहेक तिनका कुनै छोरा पनि बाँकी रहेन ।
Their army invaded Judah and took away [from Jerusalem] all the valuable things that they found in the king’s palace, and even his sons and wives. His youngest son, Ahaziah, was the only one of his sons whom they did not take away.
18 यी सबै भएपछि परमप्रभुले यहोरामलाई निको नहुने रोगले आन्द्रामा प्रहार गर्नुभयो ।
After that happened, Yahweh caused Jehoram to be afflicted with an intestinal disease that no one could cure.
19 त्यस रोगले तिनलाई केही समयसम्म सताइरह्यो । अनि दोस्रो वर्षको अन्तमा त्यही रोगले तिनका आन्द्रा बाहिर निस्के, र तिनी गम्भीर रोगले मरे । तिनको सम्मान गर्नलाई तिनका मानिसहरूले आगो बालेनन्, जस्तो तिनीहरूले तिनका पुर्खाहरूका निम्ति गरेका थिए ।
About two years later, while he was in great pain, he died because of that disease. The people of Judah had made bonfires to honor his ancestors when they died, but they did not make a bonfire for Jehoram.
20 तिनी बत्तिस वर्षको हुँदा तिनले राज्य गर्न सुरु गरेका थिए । तिनले यरूशलेममा आठ वर्ष राज्य गरे, र तिनी मर्दा कसैले पनि शोक गरेन । तिनीहरूले तिनलाई दाऊदको सहरमा गाडे, तर राजाहरूका चिहानमा होइन ।
Jehoram was 32 years old when he became the king, and he ruled in Jerusalem for eight years. No one was sorry when he died. His corpse was buried in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’, but he was not buried where the other kings [of Judah] had been buried.
