2 Crónicas 21

1 Y Josafat murió y lo enterraron en la ciudad de David. Y Joram su hijo se hizo rey en su lugar.

And Jehoshaphat went to rest with his fathers, and his body was put into the earth in the town of David. And Jehoram his son became king in his place.

2 Y tuvo hermanos, hijos de Josafat, Azarías, Jehiel, Zacarías, Azarías, Micael y Sefatías; todos estos fueron hijos de Josafat, rey de Israel.

And he had brothers, sons of Jehoshaphat, Azariah, Jehiel, Zechariah, Azariah, Michael, and Shephatiah; all these were sons of Jehoshaphat, king of Israel.

3 Y su padre les dio mucha plata, oro y cosas de gran valor, así como ciudades amuralladas en Judá; pero el reino se lo dio a Joram, porque era el hijo mayor.

And their father gave them much silver and gold and things of great value, as well as walled towns in Judah; but the kingdom he gave to Jehoram, because he was the oldest.

4 Cuando Joram tomó su lugar sobre el reino de su padre y salvó su posición, mató a filo de espada a sus hermanos, así como a algunos de los príncipes de Israel.

Now when Jehoram had taken his place over his father's kingdom, and had made his position safe, he put all his brothers to death with the sword, as well as some of the princes of Israel.

5 Joram tenía treinta y dos años cuando llegó a ser rey; y estuvo gobernando en Jerusalén por ocho años.

Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he became king; and he was ruling in Jerusalem for eight years.

6 Siguió los caminos de los reyes de Israel e hizo lo que la familia de Acab hizo, porque la hija de Acab era su esposa; E hizo lo malo ante los ojos de Señor.

He went in the ways of the kings of Israel, and did as the family of Ahab did, for the daughter of Ahab was his wife; and he did evil in the eyes of the Lord.

7 Pero no era el propósito del Señor enviar destrucción a la familia de David, debido al acuerdo que había hecho con David, cuando dijo que le daría a él y a sus hijos una luz para siempre.

But it was not the Lord's purpose to send destruction on the family of David, because of the agreement he had made with David, when he said he would give to him and to his sons a light for ever.

8 En su tiempo, Edom se rebeló del gobierno de Judá y tomó un rey para ellos.

In his time Edom made themselves free from the rule of Judah, and took a king for themselves.

9 Entonces Joram se acercó con sus capitanes y todos sus carros de guerra, atacó de noche a los edomitas, cuyas fuerzas lo rodeaban.

Then Jehoram went over with his captains and all his war-carriages ... made an attack by night on the Edomites, whose forces were all round him ... on the captains of the war-carriages.

10 Hasta el día de hoy, Edom se rebeló ante el gobierno de Judá: y al mismo tiempo Libna se rebeló ante su gobierno; porque Joram abandonó al Señor, el Dios de sus antepasados.

So Edom made themselves free from the rule of Judah, to this day: and at the same time Libnah made itself free from his rule; because he was turned away from the Lord, the God of his fathers.

11 Y más que esto, hizo lugares altos en las montañas de Judá, enseñando a la gente de Jerusalén a perseguir a dioses falsos, y guiando a Judá lejos del camino verdadero.

And more than this, he made high places in the mountains of Judah, teaching the people of Jerusalem to go after false gods, and guiding Judah away from the true way.

12 Y le llegó una carta del profeta Elías, diciendo: El Señor, el Dios de tu padre David, dice: Porque no has guardado los caminos de tu padre Josafat ni los caminos de Asa, rey de Judá,

And a letter came to him from Elijah the prophet, saying, The Lord, the God of your father David, says, Because you have not kept to the ways of your father Jehoshaphat or the ways of Asa, king of Judah,

13 Pero has andado en los caminos de los reyes de Israel, y has hecho que Judá y el pueblo de Jerusalén se hayan prostituido, como se prostituyó la familia de Acab y porque has matado a los hijos de tu padre, tus hermanos, que fueron mejores que tú.

But have gone in the way of the kings of Israel, and have made Judah and the people of Jerusalem go after false gods, as the family of Ahab did: and because you have put to death your father's sons, your brothers, who were better than yourself:

14 Ahora, verdaderamente, el Señor enviará una gran destrucción a tu pueblo, a tus hijos, a tus esposas y a todo lo que es tuyo:

Now, truly, the Lord will send a great destruction on your people and your children and your wives and everything which is yours:

15 Y tú mismo sufrirás los dolores crueles de una enfermedad en tú estómago, de modo que día a día tus intestinos se te saldrán debido a la enfermedad.

And you yourself will undergo the cruel pains of a disease in your stomach, so that day by day your inside will be falling out because of the disease.

16 Entonces los filisteos y los árabes, que viven en Etiopía, fueron movidos por el Señor para hacer la guerra a Joram;

Then the Philistines and the Arabians, who are by Ethiopia, were moved by the Lord to make war on Jehoram;

17 Y subieron contra Judá, forzándose a entrar, y se llevaron todos los bienes de la casa del rey, así como a sus hijos y sus esposas; de modo que no tuvo más hijo que solo Joacaz, el más joven.

And they came up against Judah, forcing a way into it, and took away all the goods in the king's house, as well as his sons and his wives; so that he had no son but only Jehoahaz, the youngest.

18 Y después de todo esto, el Señor le envió una enfermedad del estómago de la cual era imposible que se curara.

And after all this the Lord sent on him a disease of the stomach from which it was impossible for him to be made well.

19 Y el tiempo continuó, y después de dos años, sus intestinos se le salieron debido a la enfermedad, y murió de dolor cruel. Y su pueblo no hizo fuego para él en su honra como el fuego hecho para sus antepasados.

And time went on, and after two years, his inside falling out because of the disease, he came to his death in cruel pain. And his people made no burning for him like the burning made for his fathers.

20 Tenía treinta y dos años cuando comenzó a reinar, y estuvo gobernando en Jerusalén durante ocho años. Y su muerte nadie la lamento, Ellos lo enterraron en la ciudad de David, pero no en el panteón de los reyes.

He was thirty-two years old when he became king, and he was ruling in Jerusalem for eight years: and at his death he was not regretted; they put his body into the earth in the town of David, but not in the resting-place of the kings.
