Вторая книга Паралипоменон 21
1 И успе Иосафат со отцы своими, и погребен бысть с ними во граде Давидове. И воцарися Иорам сын его вместо его.
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 И братия его сынове Иосафатовы шесть: Азариа и Иеил, и Захариа и Азариа, и Михаил и Сафатиа: вси сии сынове Иосафата царя Иудина.
His [younger] brothers were Azariah, Jehiel, Zechariah, Azariah, Michael, and Shephatiah.
3 И даде им отец их многи дары: сребро и злато, и оружие со грады крепкими во Иудеи, царство же даде Иораму, понеже сей бе первенец.
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 И воста Иорам на царство свое, и укрепися, и изби всю братию свою мечем и некиих от началник Израилевых.
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 Тридесяти и дву лет бе Иорам, егда нача царствовати, и осмь лет царствова во Иерусалиме,
Jehoram was 32 years old when he became the king, and he ruled in Jerusalem for eight years.
6 и хождаше по путем царей Израилевых, якоже содела дом Ахаавль: дщи бо Ахаавля бысть жена его: и сотвори злое пред Господем.
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 И не хоте Господь искоренити дому Давидова ради завета, егоже завеща с Давидом, и якоже рече ему, дати ему светилник и сыном его во вся дни.
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 Во днех онех отступи Едом от Иуды и постави себе царя.
While Jehoram was ruling, the people of [the] Edom [region] rebelled against [the king of] Judah and appointed their own king.
9 И пойде Иорам с началники своими, и вся конница с ним: и бысть, и воста нощию, и порази Едома, иже обыде окрест его, и началники колесниц: и побегоша людие в селения своя.
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 И отступи от Иуды Едом даже до сего дне тогожде времене и Ловна отступи из под руки его, зане остави Господа Бога отец своих:
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 ибо той сотвори высокая бо градех Иудиных, и блудити сотвори обитающих во Иерусалиме и прельсти Иуду.
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 И прииде к нему писание от Илии пророка, глаголя: сия рече Господь Бог Давида отца твоего: понеже не ходил еси по пути Иосафата отца твоего и в путех Асы царя Иудина,
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 и ходил еси в путех царей Израилевых, и блудити сотворил еси Иуду и обитающих во Иерусалиме, якоже соблуди дом Ахаавль, и братию твою, сыны отца твоего, лучшх тебе избил еси,
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 се, Господь поразит тя язвою великою с людьми твоими и с сынми твоими и с женами твоими и со всем имением твоим:
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 ты же будеши в язве лютей, в болезни чрева, дондеже изыдут внутренняя твоя с язвою от дний во дни.
And you yourself will have an intestinal disease that will continue to become worse, and you will suffer from it until you die.'”
16 И воздвиже Господь на Иорама иноплеменники и Аравов и сопределныя Ефиопы:
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 и взыдоша на Иуду, и преодолеша, и плениша вся сокровища, яже обретоша в дому цареве, и сынов его и дщери его и жены его, и не остася ему сын, токмо Охозиа менший сынов его.
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 И по сих всех порази его Господь чрева болезнию неизцельною.
After that happened, Yahweh caused Jehoram to be afflicted with an intestinal disease that no one could cure.
19 И бысть от дний во дни, и егда прииде время дний два дни, и изыде чрево его с болезнию, и умре в разслаблении лютем. И не сотвориша ему людие по обычаю погребения, якоже погребение отцем его.
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 Тридесяти двою лет бяше, егда царствовати нача, и осмь лет царствова во Иерусалиме: ходи же не хвально, и погребоша его во граде Давидове, обаче не во гробех царских.
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.
