2 Ljetopisa 21
1 Jošafat počinu kraj svojih otaca i bi sahranjen uz njih u Davidovu gradu. Na njegovo se mjesto zakraljio sin mu Joram.
Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the City of David: and Jehoram his son reigned in his place.
2 Joram je imao šestoricu braće, Jošafatovih sinova: Azarju, Jehiela, Zahariju, Azarju, Mihaela i Šefatju. Svi su oni bili sinovi izraelskog kralja Jošafata.
He had brothers, the sons of Jehoshaphat: Azariah, and Jehiel, and Zechariah, and Azariah, and Michael, and Shephatiah; all these were the sons of Jehoshaphat king of Israel.
3 Otac im je dao mnoge darove u srebru, zlatu i dragocjenostima, s utvrđenim gradovima u Judi; kraljevstvo je dao Joramu jer je bio prvenac.
Their father gave them great gifts, of silver, and of gold, and of precious things, with fortified cities in Judah: but the kingdom gave he to Jehoram, because he was the firstborn.
4 Stupivši na očevo prijestolje i utvrdiv se, Joram pobi svu braću mačem, pa i neke izraelske knezove.
Now when Jehoram was risen up over the kingdom of his father, and had strengthened himself, he killed all his brothers with the sword, and various also of the princes of Israel.
5 Joramu su bile trideset i dvije godine kad se zakraljio, a kraljevao je osam godina u Jeruzalemu.
Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.
6 Živio je poput izraelskih kraljeva, kao i dom Ahabov, jer mu je kći Ahabova bila žena; radio je što je zlo u Jahvinim očima.
He walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did the house of Ahab; for he had the daughter of Ahab as wife: and he did that which was evil in the sight of YHWH.
7 Ipak Jahve ne htjede razoriti kuće Davidu zbog Saveza što ga sklopi s njim i zato što mu obeća da će dati svjetiljku njemu i njegovim sinovima zauvijek.
However YHWH would not destroy the house of David, because of the covenant that he had made with David, and as he promised to give a lamp to him and to his children always.
8 U njegovo se vrijeme Edomci odmetnuše ispod judejske vlasti i postaviše sebi kralja.
In his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and made a king over themselves.
9 Zato Joram pođe sa svojim vojskovođama i sa svim bojnim kolima. Diže se noću i pobi Edomce koji bijahu opkolili njega i zapovjednike bojnih kola.
Then Jehoram passed over with his captains, and all his chariots with him: and he rose up by night, and struck the Edomites who surrounded him, along with the captains of the chariots.
10 Ipak su se Edomci oslobodili ispod judejske vlasti sve do danas. U isto se doba odmetnu i Libna da ne bude pod njegovom vlašću, jer je on ostavio Jahvu, Boga svojih otaca.
So Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah to this day: then Libnah revolted at the same time from under his hand, because he had forsaken YHWH, the God of his fathers.
11 Još je i uzvišice napravio po judejskim gorama, naveo na blud Jeruzalemce i zaveo Judejce.
Moreover he made high places in the mountains of Judah, and made the inhabitants of Jerusalem to play the prostitute, and led Judah astray.
12 Tada mu od proroka Ilije stiže pismo: “Ovako veli Jahve, Bog tvoga oca Davida: 'Kako nisi išao putovima oca Jošafata, ni putovima judejskoga kralja Ase,
A letter came to him from Elijah the prophet, saying, "Thus says YHWH, the God of David your father, 'Because you have not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat your father, nor in the ways of Asa king of Judah,
13 nego si išao putovima izraelskih kraljeva i naveo na blud Judejce i Jeruzalemce, kao što je učinio dom Ahabov, a uz to si poubijao vlastitu braću, svoju obitelj, koji bjehu bolji od tebe:
but have walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and have made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to play the prostitute, like the house of Ahab did, and also have slain your brothers of your father's house, who were better than yourself:
14 evo, Jahve će svaliti veliku nesreću na tvoj narod, na tvoje sinove, tvoje žene, na sve tvoje imanje.
look, YHWH will strike with a great plague your people, and your children, and your wives, and all your substance;
15 Oboljet ćeš od mnogih bolesti: od bolesti u crijevima, tako da će ti crijeva izaći od bolesti koja će trajati dane i dane.'”
and you shall have great sickness by disease of your bowels, until your bowels fall out by reason of the sickness, day by day.'"
16 Jahve podiže na Jorama srdžbu Filistejaca i Arapa koji žive kraj Etiopljana.
YHWH stirred up against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines, and of the Arabians who are beside the Ethiopians:
17 Oni napadoše Judeju i osvojiše je, porobiše sve blago što se našlo u kraljevu dvoru, pa i njegove sinove i njegove žene, tako da nije ostao nitko, osim najmlađega sina, Joahaza.
and they came up against Judah, and broke into it, and carried away all the substance that was found in the king's house, and his sons also, and his wives; so that there was never a son left him, except Jehoahaz, the youngest of his sons.
18 Poslije svega toga udari ga Jahve neizlječivom crijevnom bolešću.
After all this YHWH struck him in his bowels with an incurable disease.
19 Ona je trajala dane i dane, a kad su se navršile dvije godine, izašla su mu crijeva s bolešću te je umro u strašnim mukama. Narod mu nije priredio mirisna paljenja, kao što je palio njegovim ocima.
It happened, in process of time, at the end of two years, that his bowels fell out by reason of his sickness, and he died of severe diseases. His people made no burning for him, like the burning of his fathers.
20 Bile su mu trideset i dvije godine kad se zakraljio, a osam je godina kraljevao u Jeruzalemu. Preminuo je, a nitko nije požalio za njim; i sahraniše ga u Davidovu gradu, ali ne u kraljevskoj grobnici.
Thirty-two years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem eight years: and he departed without being desired; and they buried him in the City of David, but not in the tombs of the kings.
