2 Kroniška 21
1 Torej Józafat je zaspal s svojimi očeti in bil s svojimi očeti pokopan v Davidovem mestu. Namesto njega je zakraljeval njegov sin Jehorám.
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 Ta je imel brate, Józafatove sinove: Azarjája, Jehiéla, Zeharjája, Azarjája, Mihaela in Šefatjája. Vsi ti so bili sinovi Izraelovega kralja Józafata.
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 Njihov oče jim je dal veliko daril iz srebra in iz zlata in dragocenih stvari, z utrjenimi mesti v Judu, toda kraljestvo je dal Jehorámu, ker je bil prvorojenec.
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 Torej ko je bil Jehorám dvignjen h kraljestvu svojega očeta, se je okrepil in vse svoje brate usmrtil z mečem in tudi številne izmed Izraelovih princev.
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 Jehorám je bil star dvaintrideset let, ko je začel kraljevati in v Jeruzalemu je kraljeval osem let.
Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem eight years.
6 Hodil je po poti Izraelovih kraljev, podobno kakor je storila Ahábova hiša, kajti za ženo je imel Ahábovo hčer. Počel je to, kar je bilo zlo v Gospodovih očeh.
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 Vendar Gospod ni hotel uničiti Davidove hiše zaradi zaveze, ki jo je sklenil z Davidom in kakor je obljubil, da da luč njemu in njegovim sinovom na veke.
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 V njegovih dneh so se Edómci spuntali izpod Judovega gospostva in si postavili kralja.
In the days of Jehoram, Edom rebelled against the hand of Judah and appointed their own king.
9 Potem je Jehorám s svojimi princi odšel naprej in vsi njegovi bojni vozovi z njim. Ponoči je vstal in udaril Edomce, ki so obkolili njega in stotnike bojnih vozov.
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 Tako so se Edómci spuntali izpod Judove roke do današnjega dne. Isti čas se je tudi Libna spuntala izpod njegove roke, ker je zapustil Gospoda, Boga svojih očetov.
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 Poleg tega je postavil visoke kraje po Judovih gorah in prebivalcem Jeruzalema storil, da zagrešijo prešuštvovanje in k temu zapeljal Juda.
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 In k njemu je prišlo pisanje preroka Elija, rekoč: ›Tako govori Gospod, Bog tvojega očeta Davida: ›Ker nisi hodil po poteh svojega očeta Józafata niti po poteh Judovega kralja Asája,
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 temveč si hodil po poti Izraelovih kraljev in si pripravil Juda in prebivalce Jeruzalema, da se vlačugajo, podobno vlačugarstvom Ahábove hiše in si tudi umoril svoje brate od hiše svojega očeta, ki so bili boljši kakor ti sam.
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 Glej, z veliko nadlogo bo Gospod udaril tvoje ljudstvo, tvoje otroke, tvoje žene in vse tvoje dobrine,
So behold, the LORD is about to strike your people, your sons, your wives, and all your possessions with a serious blow.
15 ti pa boš imel veliko slabost z boleznijo svoje notranjosti, dokler tvoja notranjost ne zleze ven zaradi razloga bolezni dan za dnem.«
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 Poleg tega je Gospod zoper Jehoráma razvnel duha Filistejcev in Arabcev, ki so bili blizu Etiopijcev.
Then the LORD stirred against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines and Arabs who lived near the Cushites.
17 Ti so prišli gor v Juda in vdrli vanj in odnesli vse imetje, ki je bilo najdeno v kraljevi hiši in tudi njegove sinove in njegove žene, tako da mu ni ostal sin razen Joaháza, najmlajšega izmed njegovih sinov.
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 Po vsem tem ga je Gospod udaril v njegovi notranjosti z neozdravljivo boleznijo.
After all this, the LORD afflicted Jehoram with an incurable disease of the bowels.
19 Pripetilo se je tekom časa, po koncu dveh let, da je njegova notranjost zlezla ven zaradi razloga njegove slabosti. Tako je umrl od hudih bolezni. Njegovo ljudstvo zanj ni naredilo nobenega sežiga [dišav], podobnega sežigu njegovim očetom.
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 Dvaintrideset let je bil star, ko je začel kraljevati in v Jeruzalemu je kraljeval osem let in odšel, brez da bi ga želeli. Vendar so ga pokopali v Davidovem mestu, toda ne v kraljevih mavzolejih.
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.
