2 Seenaa 21
1 Ergasii Yehooshaafaax abbootii isaa wajjin boqotee isaanuma biratti magaalaa abbaa isaa magaalaa Daawit keessatti awwaalame. Yehooraam ilmi isaas iddoo isaa buʼee mootii taʼe.
And Jehoshaphat rested with his fathers and was buried with them in the City of David. And his son Jehoram reigned in his place.
2 Obboloonni Yehooraam ilmaan Yehooshaafaax Azaariyaa, Yehiiʼeel, Zakkaariyaas, Ezaariyaas, Miikaaʼelii fi Shefaaxiyaa jedhaman ture. Isaan kunneen hundi ilmaan Yehooshaafaax mooticha Israaʼel sanaa turan.
Jehoram’s brothers, the sons of Jehoshaphat, were Azariah, Jehiel, Zechariah, Azariah, Michael, and Shephatiah; these were all sons of Jehoshaphat king of Israel.
3 Abbaan isaaniis kennaa meetii, kan warqeetii fi miʼoota gatii guddaa baasanii akkasumas magaalaawwan Yihuudaa keessaa kanneen dallaa jabaa qaban isaanii kenne; garuu sababii inni hangafa taʼeef mootummaa isaa Yehooraamiif kenne.
Their father had given them many gifts of silver and gold and precious things, as well as the fortified cities in Judah; but he gave the kingdom to Jehoram because he was the firstborn.
4 Yehooraam erga mootummaa abbaa isaa irratti jabaatee dhaabatee booddee obboloota isaa hundaa fi qondaaltota Israaʼel tokko tokko goraadeedhaan ni fixe.
When Jehoram had established himself over his father’s kingdom, he strengthened himself by putting to the sword all his brothers along with some of the princes of Israel.
5 Yehooraam yeroo mootii taʼetti umuriin isaa waggaa soddomii lama ture; innis Yerusaalem keessa taaʼee waggaa saddeet ni bulche.
Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem eight years.
6 Innis akkuma manni Ahaab godhee ture sana karaa mootota Israaʼel duukaa buʼe; intala Ahaab fuudhee tureetii. Fuula Waaqayyoo durattis waan hamaa hojjete.
And Jehoram walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, just as the house of Ahab had done. For he married a daughter of Ahab and did evil in the sight of the LORD.
7 Taʼus Waaqayyo sababii Daawit wajjin kakuu galeef mana Daawit balleessuun fedhii Waaqayyoo hin turre. Inni isaa fi sanyii isaatiif ibsaa bara baraa dhaabuuf kakuu galee ture.
Yet the LORD was unwilling to destroy the house of David, because of the covenant He had made with David, and since He had promised to maintain a lamp for David and his descendants forever.
8 Bara Yehooraam keessa Edoom Yihuudaatti fincilee mootii ofii isaa moosifate.
In the days of Jehoram, Edom rebelled against the hand of Judah and appointed their own king.
9 Kanaafuu Yehooraam qondaaltota isaatii fi gaariiwwan isaa hunda wajjin achi dhaqe. Warri Edoomis isaa fi ajajjoota gaariiwwan isaa marsan; inni garuu halkaniin kaʼee isaan ni dhaʼe.
So Jehoram crossed into Edom with his officers and all his chariots. When the Edomites surrounded him and his chariot commanders, he rose up and attacked by night.
10 Edoom hamma harʼaatti illee akkuma Yihuudaatti finciletti jira. Libnaanis sababii Yehooraam Waaqayyo Waaqa abbootii isaa dhiiseef yeruma sanatti fincile.
So to this day Edom has been in rebellion against the hand of Judah. Likewise, Libnah rebelled against his rule at the same time, because Jehoram had forsaken the LORD, the God of his fathers.
11 Tulluuwwan Yihuudaa irrattis iddoowwan sagadaa ijaaree akka namoonni Yerusaalem sagaagalan gochuudhaan Yihuudaa karaa irraa jalʼise.
Jehoram had also built high places on the hills of Judah; he had caused the people of Jerusalem to prostitute themselves and had led Judah astray.
12 Yehooraamis xalayaa Eeliyaas raajicha biraa ergame tokko ni argate; xalayaan sunis akkana jedha: “Waaqayyo Waaqni abbaa kee Daawit akkana jedha: ‘Ati karaa abbaa kee Yehooshaafaax irra yookaan karaa Aasaa mooticha Yihuudaatti hin adeemne.
Then a letter came to Jehoram from Elijah the prophet, which stated: “This is what the LORD, the God of your father David, says: ‘You have not walked in the ways of your father Jehoshaphat or of Asa king of Judah,
13 Ati garuu karaa mootota Israaʼel irra deemuudhaan akkuma manni Ahaab godhe sana Yihuudaa fi saba Yerusaalem sagaagalchiifte. Obboloota kee miseensota mana abbaa keetii kanneen sirra wayyan sana illee ni fixxe.
but you have walked in the ways of the kings of Israel and have caused Judah and the people of Jerusalem to prostitute themselves, just as the house of Ahab prostituted itself. You have also killed your brothers, your father’s family, who were better than you.
14 Kanaafuu Waaqayyo amma saba kee, ilmaan kee, niitota kee fi waan ati qabdu hunda dhaʼicha hamaadhaan dhaʼuuf jira.
So behold, the LORD is about to strike your people, your sons, your wives, and all your possessions with a serious blow.
15 Ati mataan kee iyyuu dhukkuba marʼumaanii kan guyyaa guyyaadhaan hammaachaa deemuun qabamta; dhuma irrattis dhukkubichi marʼumaan kee alatti yaasa.’”
And day after day you yourself will suffer from a severe illness, a disease of your bowels, until it causes your bowels to come out.’”
16 Waaqayyos Filisxeemotaa fi Araboota saba Itoophiyaatti dhiʼoo jiraatan Yehooraamitti ni kaase.
Then the LORD stirred against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines and Arabs who lived near the Cushites.
17 Isaanis Yihuudaa dhaʼanii qabatan; miʼa masaraa mootii keessatti argamu hunda, ilmaanii fi niitota isaa wajjin boojiʼanii ni fudhatan. Ilma isaa Ahaaziyaa isa quxisuu sana malee ilmi tokko iyyuu hin hafneef.
So they went to war against Judah, invaded it, and carried off all the possessions found in the king’s palace, along with his sons and wives; not a son was left to him except Jehoahaz, his youngest.
18 Waan kana hundaa booddee Waaqayyo dhukkuba marʼumaanii kan hin fayyineen Yehooraamin ni dhaʼe.
After all this, the LORD afflicted Jehoram with an incurable disease of the bowels.
19 Innis oolee bulee dhuma waggaa lammaffaatti sababii dhukkuba hamaa sanaatiif marʼumaan isaa keessaa ni kufe; akka malees dhiphatee ni duʼe. Namoonni isaa akka abbootii isaatiif godhan sana ulfina isaatiif jedhanii ibidda hin bobeessine.
This continued day after day until two full years had passed. Finally, his intestines came out because of his disease, and he died in severe pain. And his people did not make a fire in his honor as they had done for his fathers.
20 Yehooraam yeroo mootii taʼetti nama waggaa soddomii lamaa ture. Innis Yerusaalem keessa taaʼee waggaa saddeet ni bulche. Yeroo inni duʼetti namni tokko iyyuu isaaf hin gaddine; innis Magaalaa Daawit keessatti awwaalame malee lafa mootonni itti awwaalamanitti hin awwaalamne.
Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem eight years. He died, to no one’s regret, and was buried in the City of David, but not in the tombs of the kings.
