2 Crônicas 21
1 Depois Josaphat dormiu com seus pais, e o sepultaram com seus pais na cidade de David: e Jorão, seu filho, reinou em seu lugar.
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 E teve irmãos, filhos de Josaphat: Azarias, e Jehiel, e Zacarias, e Asarias, e Michael, e Sephatias: todos estes foram filhos de Josaphat, rei de Israel.
His [younger] brothers were Azariah, Jehiel, Zechariah, Azariah, Michael, and Shephatiah.
3 E seu pai lhes deu muitos dons de prata, e de ouro, e de coisas preciosíssimas, com cidades fortes em Judá: porém o reino deu a Jorão, porquanto era o primogênito.
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 E, subindo Jorão ao reino de seu pai, e havendo-se fortificado, matou a todos os seus irmãos à espada, como também a alguns dos príncipes de Israel.
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 Da idade de trinta e dois anos era Jorão quando começou a reinar; e reinou oito anos em Jerusalém.
Jehoram was 32 years old when he became the king, and he ruled in Jerusalem for eight years.
6 E andou no caminho dos reis de Israel, como fazia a casa de Achab; porque tinha a filha de Achab por mulher: e fazia o que parecia mal aos olhos do Senhor.
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 Porém o Senhor não quis destruir a casa de David, em atenção ao concerto que tinha feito com David: e porque também tinha dito que lhe daria por todos os dias uma lâmpada, a ele e a seus filhos.
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 Nos seus dias se revoltaram os idumeus de debaixo do mando de Judá, e constituiram para si um rei.
While Jehoram was ruling, the people of [the] Edom [region] rebelled against [the king of] Judah and appointed their own king.
9 Pelo que Jorão passou adiante com os seus chefes, e todos os carros com ele: e levantou-se de noite, e feriu aos idumeus, que o tinham cercado, como também aos capitães dos carros.
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 Todavia os idumeus se revoltaram de debaixo do mando de Judá até ao dia de hoje; então no mesmo tempo Libna se revoltou de debaixo de seu mando; porque deixara ao Senhor, Deus de seus pais.
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 Ele também fez altos nos montes de Judá: e fez com que fornicassem os moradores de Jerusalém, e até a Judá impeliu a isso.
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 Então lhe veio um escrito da parte de Elias o profeta, que dizia: Assim diz o Senhor, Deus de David teu pai: Porquanto não andaste nos caminhos de Josaphat, teu pai, e nos caminhos d'Asa, rei de Judá,
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 Mas andaste no caminho dos reis de Israel, e fizeste fornicar a Judá e aos moradores de Jerusalém, segundo a fornicação da casa d'Achab, e também mataste a teus irmãos, da casa de teu pai, melhores do que tu
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 Eis que o Senhor ferirá com um grande flagelo ao teu povo, e aos teus filhos, e às tuas mulheres e a todas as tuas fazendas.
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 Tu também terás uma grande enfermidade por causa de uma doença de tuas entranhas, até que te saiam as tuas entranhas, por causa da enfermidade, de dia em dia.
And you yourself will have an intestinal disease that will continue to become worse, and you will suffer from it until you die.'”
16 Despertou pois o Senhor, contra Jorão o espírito dos philisteus e dos arabios, que estão da banda dos ethiopes.
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 Estes subiram a Judá, e deram sobre ela, e levaram toda a fazenda, que se achou na casa do rei, como também a seus filhos e a suas mulheres; de modo que lhe não deixaram filho, senão a Joachaz, o mais moço de seus filhos.
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 E depois de tudo isto o Senhor o feriu nas suas entranhas com uma enfermidade incurável.
After that happened, Yahweh caused Jehoram to be afflicted with an intestinal disease that no one could cure.
19 E sucedeu que, depois de muitos dias, e chegado que foi o fim de dois anos, sairam-lhe as entranhas com a doença; e morreu de más enfermidades: e o seu povo lhe não fez uma queimada como a queimada de seus pais.
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 Era da idade de trinta e dois anos quando começou a reinar, e reinou em Jerusalém oito anos: e foi-se sem deixar de si saudades algumas; e o sepultaram na cidade de David, porém não nos sepulcros dos reis.
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.
