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.

To pacoengah, Jehosaphat loe ampanawk khaeah anghak moe, David vangpui ah ampanaw khaeah aphum o; anih zuengah a capa Jehoram to siangpahrang ah oh.

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.

Jehosaphat capa, Jehoram ih nawkamyanawk loe Azariah, Jehiel, Zekariah, Azariah, Mikael hoi Shephatiah; hae kaminawk loe Israel siangpahrang Jehosaphat ih caa ah oh o boih.

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.

Ampa mah nihcae hanah paroeai kapop sui hoi sum kanglungnawk, atho kana hmuenmaenawk hoi sipae hoi thungh ih Judah vangpuinawk to tangqum ah paek; toe prae loe calu Jehoram hanah paek.

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.

Jehoram loe ampa ih prae to toep moe, kacak siangpahrang ah oh, anih loe angmah ih nawkamyanawk to sumsen hoiah hum boih, thoemto Israel angraengnawk doeh a hum.

5 Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.

Siangpahrang ah oh amtong naah, Jehoram loe saning quithum, hnetto oh, anih mah Jerusalem to saning tazetto thung uk.

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.

Anih loe Ahab canu to lak moe, Ahab imthung takoh khosakhaih baktiah, Israel siangpahrangnawk caehhaih loklam to pazui; Angraeng mikhnukah hmuen kahoih to sak.

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.

Toe Angraeng mah David hoiah lokmaihaih to sak pongah, David imthung to phrae mak ai; anih hoi a caanawk khaeah dungzan aanghaih to paek hanah loksuek boeh.

8 In his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and made a king over themselves.

Jehoram dung naah, Edom loe Judah prae nuiah misa angthawk moe, angmacae koeh ah siangpahrang to suek o.

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.

To pongah Jehoram loe angmah ih angraengnawk hoi hrangleengnawk boih to kawk moe, anih hoi nawnto caeh; anih loe aqum ah angthawk moe, nihcae takui khoep Edom kaminawk hoi hrangleeng angthueng misatuh angraengnawk to tuk.

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.

To pongah vaihni ni khoek to Edom kaminawk loe Judahnawk ih misa ah oh o. Jehoram loe ampanawk ih Angraeng Sithaw to pahnawt ving pongah, to nathuem ah Libnah prae doeh misa angthawk toeng.

11 Moreover he made high places in the mountains of Judah, and made the inhabitants of Jerusalem play the prostitute, and led Judah astray.

Judah prae ah kaom maenawk nuiah hmuensangnawk to a sak, Jerusalem ah kaom kaminawk to tangzat zawhsak moe, Judah to loklam amkhraengsak.

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,

To naah tahmaa Elijah khae ih capat to anih khaeah phak, capat pongah, nam pa David ih Angraeng Sithaw mah hae tiah thuih; nam pa Jehosaphat hoi Judah siangpahrang Asa caehhaih loklam ah na caeh ai boeh,

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,

toe Israel siangpahrangnawk caehhaih loklam to na pazui, Ahab imthung takoh mah sak ih baktih toengah, Judah hoi Jerusalem ah kaom kaminawk to tangzat zaw kami ah nang coengsak; nangmah pong kahoih kue, nam pa imthung takoh ih nam nawkamya khaeh mataeng doeh na hum boih;

14 behold, the LORD will strike your people with a great plague, including your children, your wives, and all your possessions;

to pongah khenah, vaihiah Angraeng mah nang ih kaminawk, na caanawk, na zunawk hoi na tawnh ih hmuenmaenawk boih nuiah kanung parai danpaekhaih phasak tih boeh.

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.’”

Nangmah to doeh ni thokkruek na nathaih kasae mah, na zok thung ih tazae to tasa bangah tacawt ai karoek to, kanung parai nathaih mah pha thui tih, tiah tarik pae.

16 The LORD stirred up against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines and of the Arabians who are beside the Ethiopians;

Jehoram tuk hanah Angraeng mah Philistin hoi Ethiopia kaminawk taengah kaom Arab kaminawk ih palungthin to pahruek pae.

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.

Nihcae loe Judah prae thungah angzoh o moe, misatuk o; siangpahrang imthung ah a hnuk o ih hmuennawk to lak pae o boih moe, a capa hoi a zunawk doeh hoih pae o king; a capa kanawk koek Jehoahaz ai ah loe capa maeto doeh tahmat o ai.

18 After all this the LORD struck him in his bowels with an incurable disease.

Hae tiah oh pacoengah, Angraeng mah kahoih thai ai tazae nathaih to phaksak.

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.

Siangpahrang loe atue sawk ah ngannat, saning hnetto boenghaih bangah loe, a nathaih to nung parai pongah, tazae to tasa bangah tacawt pae, anih loe kana nung parai pongah duek. Prae kaminawk loe anih ampanawk han sak pae o ih hmaiqoenghaih baktiah anih hanah sah pae o ai.

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.

Jehoram siangpahrang ah oh tangsuek naah, saning quithum, hnetto oh moe, Jerusalem to saning tazetto thung uk; anih duek naah, mi doeh palungsae o ai. Anih loe David vangpui ah aphum o, siangpahrangnawk ih taprong ah aphum o ai.
