2 Chronicles 21
1 Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in David’s city; and Jehoram his son reigned in his place.
dormivit autem Iosaphat cum patribus suis et sepultus est cum eis in civitate David regnavitque Ioram filius eius pro eo
2 He had brothers, the sons of Jehoshaphat: Azariah, Jehiel, Zechariah, Azariah, Michael, and Shephatiah. All these were the sons of Jehoshaphat king of Israel.
qui habuit fratres filios Iosaphat Azariam et Hiahihel et Zacchariam et Azariam et Michahel et Saphatiam omnes hii filii Iosaphat regis Israhel
3 Their father gave them great gifts of silver, of gold, and of precious things, with fortified cities in Judah; but he gave the kingdom to Jehoram, because he was the firstborn.
deditque eis pater suus multa munera argenti et auri et pensitationes cum civitatibus munitissimis in Iuda regnum autem tradidit Ioram eo quod esset primogenitus
4 Now when Jehoram had risen up over the kingdom of his father, and had strengthened himself, he killed all his brothers with the sword, and also some of the princes of Israel.
surrexit ergo Ioram super regnum patris sui cumque se confirmasset occidit omnes fratres suos gladio et quosdam de principibus Israhel
5 Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.
triginta duo annorum erat Ioram cum regnare coepisset et octo annis regnavit in Hierusalem
6 He walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did Ahab’s house, for he had Ahab’s daughter as his wife. He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight.
ambulavitque in viis regum Israhel sicut egerat domus Ahab filia quippe Ahab erat uxor eius et fecit malum in conspectu Domini
7 However the LORD would not destroy David’s house, 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.
noluit autem Dominus disperdere domum David propter pactum quod inierat cum eo et quia promiserat ut daret illi lucernam et filiis eius omni tempore
8 In his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and made a king over themselves.
in diebus illis rebellavit Edom ne esset subditus Iudae et constituit sibi regem
9 Then Jehoram went there with his captains and all his chariots with him. He rose up by night and struck the Edomites who surrounded him, along with the captains of the chariots.
cumque transisset Ioram cum principibus suis et cuncto equitatu qui erat secum surrexit nocte et percussit Edom qui se circumdederat et omnes duces equitatus eius
10 So Edom has been in revolt from under the hand of Judah to this day. Then Libnah revolted at the same time from under his hand, because he had forsaken the LORD, the God of his fathers.
attamen rebellavit Edom ne esset sub dicione Iuda usque ad hanc diem eo tempore et Lobna recessit ne esset sub manu illius dereliquerat enim Dominum Deum patrum suorum
11 Moreover he made high places in the mountains of Judah, and made the inhabitants of Jerusalem play the prostitute, and led Judah astray.
insuper et excelsa fabricatus est in urbibus Iuda et fornicari fecit habitatores Hierusalem et praevaricari Iudam
12 A letter came to him from Elijah the prophet, saying, “the LORD, the God of David your father, says, ‘Because you have not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat your father, nor in the ways of Asa king of Judah,
adlatae sunt autem ei litterae ab Helia propheta in quibus scriptum erat haec dicit Dominus Deus David patris tui quoniam non ambulasti in viis Iosaphat patris tui et in viis Asa regis Iuda
13 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 Ahab’s house did, and also have slain your brothers of your father’s house, who were better than yourself,
sed incessisti per iter regum Israhel et fornicari fecisti Iudam et habitatores Hierusalem imitatus fornicationem domus Ahab insuper et fratres tuos domum patris tui meliores te occidisti
14 behold, the LORD will strike your people with a great plague, including your children, your wives, and all your possessions;
ecce Dominus percutiet te plaga magna cum populo tuo et filiis et uxoribus tuis universaque substantia tua
15 and you will have great sickness with a disease of your bowels, until your bowels fall out by reason of the sickness, day by day.’”
tu autem aegrotabis pessimo languore uteri donec egrediantur vitalia tua paulatim per dies singulos
16 The LORD stirred up against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines and of the Arabians who are beside the Ethiopians;
suscitavit ergo Dominus contra Ioram spiritum Philisthinorum et Arabum qui confines sunt Aethiopibus
17 and they came up against Judah, broke into it, and carried away all the possessions that were found in the king’s house, including his sons and his wives, so that there was no son left to him except Jehoahaz, the youngest of his sons.
et ascenderunt in terram Iuda et vastaverunt eam diripueruntque cunctam substantiam quae inventa est in domo regis insuper et filios eius et uxores nec remansit ei filius nisi Ioachaz qui minimus natu erat
18 After all this the LORD struck him in his bowels with an incurable disease.
et super haec omnia percussit eum Dominus alvi languore insanabili
19 In process of time, at the end of two years, 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.
cumque diei succederet dies et temporum spatia volverentur duorum annorum expletus est circulus et sic longa consumptus tabe ita ut egereret etiam viscera sua languore pariter et vita caruit mortuusque est in infirmitate pessima et non fecit ei populus secundum morem conbustionis exequias sicut fecerat maioribus eius
20 He was thirty-two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem eight years. He departed with no one’s regret. They buried him in David’s city, but not in the tombs of the kings.
triginta duum annorum fuit cum regnare coepisset et octo annis regnavit in Hierusalem ambulavitque non recte et sepelierunt eum in civitate David verumtamen non in sepulchro regum
