2 Khokhuen 21
1 Jehoshaphat te a napa rhoek taengla a khoem uh vaengah David khopuei ah a napa rhoek neh a up uh. Te phoeiah a capa Jehoram te anih yueng la manghai.
Now Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David. And Jehoram his son reigned in his stead.
2 A boeinaphung ah Jehoshaphat koca rhoek la Azariah, Jehiel, Zekhariah, Azariah, Michael, Shephatiah. He boeih he Israel manghai, Jehoshaphat koca rhoek ni.
And he had brethren 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 A napa loh amih te kutdoe la cak, sui, kawnthen neh Judah khuiah kasam khopuei rhoek khaw muep a paek. Tedae Jehoram te tah a caming dongah ram a paek.
And their father gave them great gifts of silver, and of gold, and of precious things, with fenced cities in Judah: but the kingdom gave he to Jehoram; because he [was] the firstborn.
4 Jehoram loh a napa kah ram te a thoh tih a moem. Tedae a manuca boeih neh Israel mangpa rhoek te khaw cunghang neh a ngawn.
Now when Jehoram was risen up to the kingdom of his father, he strengthened himself, and slew all his brethren with the sword, and [divers] also of the princes of Israel.
5 Jehoram te sawmthum kum nit a lo ca vaengah manghai tih Jerusalem ah kum rhet manghai.
Jehoram [was] thirty and two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.
6 Ahab imkhui kah a saii bangla Israel manghai rhoek kah longpuei ah pongpa. Ahab canu te anih yuu la a om dongah BOEIPA mikhmuh ah boethae a saii.
And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, like as did the house of Ahab: for he had the daughter of Ahab to wife: and he wrought [that which was] evil in the eyes of the LORD.
7 David taengah paipi a saii coeng dongah David imkhui te phae ham tah BOEIPA loh ngaih pawh. Te dongah amah ham neh a ca rhoek ham khaw hnin takuem hmaithoi khueh pah ham khaw a thui coeng.
Howbeit the LORD would not destroy the house of David, because of the covenant that he had made with David, and as he promised to give a light to him and to his sons for ever.
8 Anih tue vaengah Judah kut hmui lamkah Edom loh boe a koek tih amih soah manghai te a manghai sakuh.
In his days the Edomites revolted from under the dominion of Judah, and made themselves a king.
9 Te dongah Jehoram loh amah kah mangpa rhoek neh a taengkah leng boeih khaw a khuen. Khoyin ah thoo tih Edom khaw, a kaepvai ah aka vael neh leng mangpa rhoek te khaw a ngawn.
Then Jehoram went forth with his princes, and all his chariots with him: and he rose up by night, and smote the Edomites which compassed him in, and the captains of the chariots.
10 Edom loh tahae khohnin hil Judah kut hmui lamloh boe a koek. A napa rhoek kah Pathen BOEIPA te a hnawt dongah, amah te kah tue ah Libnah loh anih kut hmui lamkah boe a koek.
So the Edomites revolted from under the hand of Judah unto this day. The same time [also] did Libnah revolt from under his hand; because he had forsaken the LORD God of his fathers.
11 Anih long khaw Judah tlang ah hmuensang a sak. Jerusalem khosa rhoek te a cukhalh sak tih Judah te a heh.
Moreover he made high places in the mountains of Judah, and caused the inhabitants of Jerusalem to commit fornication, and compelled Judah [thereto].
12 Te dongah tonghma Elijah taeng lamkah cadaek te anih taengla pawk tih, “Na pa David kah Pathen BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Na pa Jehoshaphat kah longpuei ah khaw, Judah manghai Asa kah longpuei ah na pongpa moenih.
And there came a writing to him from Elijah the prophet, saying, Thus saith the LORD God of David thy father, Because thou hast not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat thy father, nor in the ways of Asa king of Judah,
13 Israel manghai kah longpuei ah na pongpa. Judah neh Jerusalem khosa rhoek te Ahab imkhui kah a cukhalh bangla na cukhalh sak. Na pa imkhui kah na manuca rhoek khaw namah lakah then dae na ngawn.
But hast walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and hast made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to go a whoring, like to the whoredoms of the house of Ahab, and also hast slain thy brethren of thy father’s house, [which were] better than thyself:
14 BOEIPA loh na pilnam soah khaw, na ca rhoek soah khaw, na yuu rhoek soah khaw, na khuehtawn boeih soah khaw lucik neh mat a vuek coeng ke.
Behold, with a great plague will the LORD smite thy people, and thy children, and thy wives, and all thy goods:
15 Nang te tlohtat a yet neh, na ko khuikah tlohtat neh, hnin at phoeiah hnin at tlohtat lamloh na bung a vawh hil,” a ti nah.
And thou [shalt have] great sickness by disease of thy bowels, until thy bowels fall out by reason of the sickness day by day.
16 BOEIPA loh Jehoram soah Philisti kah mueihla neh Kushi kut dongah Arab te a haeng thil.
Moreover the LORD stirred up against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines, and of the Arabians, that [were] near the Ethiopians:
17 Te dongah Judah te a muk uh tih a rhek sakuh. Manghai im kah a hmuh khuehtawn cungkuem neh a ca rhoek khaw a yuu rhoek khaw a sol pauh. Anih ham ca pakhat khaw paih pah pawt tih a ca canoi Jehoahaz bueng a paih pah.
And they came up into Judah, and brake 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, save Jehoahaz, the youngest of his sons.
18 BOEIPA loh anih te a cungkuem neh a vuek tih a ko khuikah tlohtat neh hoeihnah om pawh.
And after all this the LORD smote him in his bowels with an incurable disease.
19 Hnin at phoeiah hnin at ah om tih a tue loh kum nit a thoknah a pha. Te vaengah tah a tlohtat dongah a bung a vawh pah tih tloh thae neh duek. Tedae anih ham tah a pilnam loh a napa rhoek kah hmai bangla hmai toih pawh.
And it came to pass, that in process of time, after the end of two years, his bowels fell out by reason of his sickness: so he died of sore diseases. And his people made no burning for him, like the burning of his fathers.
20 Anih te sawmthum kum nit a lo ca vaengah manghai tih Jerusalem ah kum rhet manghai. Anih a caeh akhaw a sahnaih om pawh. Anih te David khopuei ah tah a up uh dae manghai phuel ah moenih.
Thirty and two years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem eight years, and departed without being desired. Howbeit they buried him in the city of David, but not in the sepulchres of the kings.
