دوم تواریخ 21

۱ 1 و یهوشافاط با پدران خود خوابید و درشهر داود با پدرانش دفن شد، و پسرش یهورام به‌جایش پادشاه شد.

Then Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and he was buried with them in the City of David. And his son, Jehoram, reigned in his place.

۲ 2 و پسران یهوشافاط عزریا و یحیئیل و زکریا و عزریاهو ومیکائیل و شفطیا برادران او بودند. این همه پسران یهوشافاط پادشاه اسرائیل بودند.

And he had brothers, sons of Jehoshaphat: Azariah, and Jehiel, and Zechariah, and Azariah, and Michael, and Shephatiah. All these were sons of Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah.

۳ 3 و پدر ایشان عطایای بسیار از نقره و طلا و نفایس با شهرهای حصاردار در یهودا به ایشان داد و اما سلطنت را به یهورام عطا فرمود زیرا که نخست زاده بود.

And their father gave to them many gifts of silver, and gold, and valuables, with very fortified cities in Judah. But the kingdom he handed on to Jehoram, because he was the firstborn.

۴ 4 و چون یهورام بر سلطنت پدرش مستقر شدخویشتن را تقویت نموده، همه برادران خود وبعضی از سروران اسرائیل را نیز به شمشیر کشت.

Therefore, Jehoram rose up over the kingdom of his father. And when he had established himself, he killed with the sword all his brothers, and certain ones from the leaders of Israel.

۵ 5 یهورام سی و دو ساله بود که پادشاه شد و هشت سال در اورشلیم سلطنت کرد.

Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he had begun to reign. And he reigned for eight years in Jerusalem.

۶ 6 و موافق رفتار پادشاهان اسرائیل به طوری که خاندان اخاب رفتار می‌کردند، سلوک نمود زیرا که دختر اخاب زن او بود و آنچه در نظر خداوند ناپسند بود، به عمل آورد.

And he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, just as the house of Ahab had done. For his wife was a daughter of Ahab, and he did evil in the sight of the Lord.

۷ 7 لیکن خداوند به‌سبب آن عهدی که با داود بسته بود و چونکه وعده داده بود که چراغی به وی و به پسرانش همیشه اوقات ببخشد، نخواست که خاندان داود را هلاک سازد.

But the Lord was not willing to destroy the house of David, because of the covenant that he had formed with him, and because he had promised that he would provide a lamp to him, and to his sons, for all time.

۸ 8 و در ایام او ادوم از زیردست یهودا عاصی شده، پادشاهی برای خود نصب نمودند.

In those days, Edom rebelled, so as not to be subject to Judah, and they appointed for themselves a king.

۹ 9 ویهورام با سرداران خود و تمامی ارابه هایش رفت، و شبانگاه برخاسته، ادومیان را که او را احاطه کرده بودند با سرداران ارابه های ایشان شکست داد.

And when Jehoram had gone across with his leaders, and all the horsemen who were with him, he arose in the night, and struck the Edomites (who had surrounded him), and all the commanders of his horsemen.

۱۰ 10 اما ادوم تا امروز از زیر دست یهودا عاصی شده‌اند، و در همان وقت لبنه نیز از زیر دست اوعاصی شد، زیرا که او یهوه خدای پدران خود راترک کرد.

Even so, Edom rebelled, so as not to be under the authority of Judah, even to this day. Also at that time, Libnah withdrew, so as not to be under his hand. For he had forsaken the Lord, the God of his fathers.

۱۱ 11 و او نیز مکان های بلند در کوههای یهوداساخت و ساکنان اورشلیم را به زنا کردن تحریض نموده، یهودا را گمراه ساخت.

Moreover, he also constructed high places in the cities of Judah. And he caused the inhabitants of Jerusalem to fornicate, and Judah to prevaricate.

۱۲ 12 و مکتوبی ازایلیای نبی بدو رسیده، گفت که «یهوه، خدای پدرت داود، چنین می‌فرماید: چونکه به راههای پدرت یهوشافاط و به طریقهای آسا پادشاه یهوداسلوک ننمودی،

Then letters were conveyed to him from the prophet Elijah, in which it was written: “Thus says the Lord, the God of David, your father: Because you have not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat, your father, nor in the ways of Asa, the king of Judah,

۱۳ 13 بلکه به طریق پادشاهان اسرائیل رفتار نموده، یهودا و ساکنان اورشلیم رااغوا نمودی که موافق زناکاری خاندان اخاب مرتکب زنا بشوند و برادران خویش را نیز ازخاندان پدرت که از تو نیکوتر بودند به قتل رسانیدی،

but instead you have advanced along the paths of the kings of Israel, and you have caused Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to fornicate, imitating the fornication of the house of Ahab, and moreover, you have killed your brothers, the house of your father, who are better than you:

۱۴ 14 همانا خداوند قومت و پسرانت وزنانت و تمامی اموالت را به بلای عظیم مبتلاخواهد ساخت.

behold, the Lord will strike you with a great plague, with all your people, and your sons and wives, and all your substance.

۱۵ 15 و تو به مرض سخت گرفتار شده، در احشایت چنان بیماری‌ای عارض خواهد شد که احشایت از آن مرض روزبه روزبیرون خواهد آمد.»

And you shall be sickened by a very grievous disease of your bowels, until your inner organs depart, little by little, each day.”

۱۶ 16 پس خداوند دل فلسطینیان و عربانی را که مجاور حبشیان بودند، به ضد یهورام برانگیزانید.

Therefore, the Lord stirred up, against Jehoram, the spirit of the Philistines, and of the Arabians, who are along the borders of the Ethiopians.

۱۷ 17 و بر یهودا هجوم آورده، در آن ثلمه انداختند و تمامی اموالی که در خانه پادشاه یافت شد و پسران و زنان او را نیزبه اسیری بردند. و برای او پسری سوای پسرکهترش یهواخاز باقی نماند.

And they ascended into the land of Judah. And they laid waste to it. And they despoiled all the substance that was found in the house of the king, including even his sons and wives. Neither did there remain for him any son, except Jehoahaz, who was the youngest born.

۱۸ 18 و بعد از اینهمه خداوند احشایش را به مرض علاج ناپذیر مبتلا ساخت.

And in addition to all these things, the Lord struck him with an incurable disease of the bowels.

۱۹ 19 و به مرور ایام بعد از انقضای مدت دو سال، احشایش از شدت مرض بیرون آمد و با دردهای سخت مرد، وقومش برای وی (عطریات ) نسوزانیدند، چنانکه برای پدرش می‌سوزانیدند.

And as day followed after day, and the space of time turned, the course of two years was completed. And after having been wasted by a long consumption, so much so that even his inner organs were discharged, the disease ended along with his life. And so he died of a very grievous illness. And the people did not make a funeral for him, according to the custom of burning, as they had done for his ancestors.

۲۰ 20 و او سی و دو ساله بود که پادشاه شد و هشت سال در اورشلیم سلطنت نمود، و بدون آنکه بر او رقتی شود، رحلت کرد و او را در شهر داود، اما نه در مقبره پادشاهان دفن کردند.

He was thirty-two years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for eight years in Jerusalem. And he did not walk uprightly. And they buried him in the City of David, yet truly, not in the sepulcher of the kings.
