2 Crônicas 21
1 E descansou Josafá com seus pais, e sepultaram-no com seus pais na cidade de Davi. E reinou em seu lugar Jeorão seu filho.
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 Este teve irmãos, filhos de Josafá, a Azarias, Jeiel, Zacarias, Azarias, Micael, e Sefatias. Todos estes foram filhos de Josafá rei de Israel.
His [younger] brothers were Azariah, Jehiel, Zechariah, Azariah, Michael, and Shephatiah.
3 E seu pai lhes havia dado muitos presentes de ouro e de prata, e coisas preciosas, e cidades fortes em Judá; mas havia dado o reino a Jeorão, porque ele 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 Foi, pois, elevado Jeorão ao reino de seu pai; e logo que se fez forte, matou à espada a todos seus irmãos, e também 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 Quando começou a reinar era de trinta e dois anos, 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 fez a casa de Acabe; porque tinha por mulher a filha de Acabe, e fez o que era mau 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 Mas o SENHOR não quis destruir a casa de Davi, a causa da aliança que com Davi havia feito, e porque lhe havia dito que lhe daria lâmpada a ele e a seus filhos perpetuamente.
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 Em os dias deste se rebelou Edom, para não estar sob o poder de Judá, e puseram rei sobre si.
While Jehoram was ruling, the people of [the] Edom [region] rebelled against [the king of] Judah and appointed their own king.
9 Então passou Jeorão com seus príncipes, e consigo todos seus carros; e levantou-se de noite, e feriu aos edomitas que lhe haviam cercado, e a todos os comandantes de seus 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 Com tudo isso Edom ficou rebelado, sem estar sob a mão de Judá até hoje. Também se rebelou no mesmo tempo Libna para não estar sob sua mão; porquanto ele havia deixado ao SENHOR o 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 Além disto, fez altos nos montes de Judá, e fez que os moradores de Jerusalém fornicassem, e a ele impeliu a Judá.
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 E vieram-lhe letras do profeta Elias, que diziam: o SENHOR, o Deus de Davi teu pai, disse assim: Por quanto não andaste nos caminhos de Josafá teu pai, nem nos caminhos de 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 Antes andaste no caminho dos reis de Israel, e fizeste que fornicasse Judá, e os moradores de Jerusalém, como fornicou a casa de Acabe; e ademais mataste a teus irmãos, à família de teu pai, os quais eram melhores 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 teu povo de uma grande praga, e a teus filhos e a tuas mulheres, e a toda tua riqueza;
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 E a ti com muitas enfermidades, com enfermidade de tuas entranhas, até que as entranhas saiam de ti por causa da enfermidade de cada 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 Então despertou o SENHOR contra Jeorão o espírito dos filisteus, e dos árabes que estavam junto aos etíopes;
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 E subiram contra Judá, e invadiram a terra, e tomaram toda a riqueza que acharam na casa do rei, e a seus filhos, e a suas mulheres; que não lhe restou filho, a não ser Jeoacaz o menor 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 Depois de tudo isto o SENHOR o feriu nas entranhas de uma enfermidade incurável.
After that happened, Yahweh caused Jehoram to be afflicted with an intestinal disease that no one could cure.
19 E aconteceu que, passando um dia atrás outro, ao fim, ao fim de dois anos, as entranhas se lhe saíram com a enfermidade, morrendo assim de enfermidade muito penosa. E seu povo não fez queima em homenagem a ele, como haviam feito a 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 Quando começou a reinar era de trinta e dois anos, e reinou em Jerusalém oito anos; e se foi sem deixar saudades. E sepultaram-no na cidade de Davi, mas 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.
