2 Crônicas 21

Ko Kīngi Iehorama o Hūrā

1 Nā, kua moe a Iehohāpata ki ōna mātua, kua tanumia ki ōna mātua ki te pā o Rāwiri; ā, ko Iehorama, ko tāna tama, te kīngi i muri i a ia. 2 He tēina anō ōna, he tama nā Iehohāpata, ko Atāria, ko Tehiere, ko Hakaraia, ko Atāria, ko Mikaera, ko Hepatia. Ko ēnei katoa he tama nā Iehohāpata kīngi o Īharaira. 3 I hoatu hoki ētahi hākari nui e tō rātou pāpā ki a rātou, he hiriwa, he kōura, he taonga utu nui, he pā taiepa i Hūrā; ko te kīngitanga ia i hoatu e ia ki a Iehorama; nō te mea ko ia te mātāmua. 4 Ā, ka kake a Iehorama ki te kīngitanga o tōna pāpā, ka whai kaha; nā, patua iho e ia ōna tēina katoa ki te hoari, me ētahi o ngā rangatira o Īharaira.

5 E toru tekau mā rua ngā tau o Iehorama i a ia i kīngi ai, ā, e waru ōna tau i kīngi ai ia ki Hiruhārama. 6 Nā, haere ana ia i te ara o ngā kīngi o Īharaira, pērā ana me tā te whare o Āhapa i mea ai; he wahine hoki nāna te tamāhine a Āhapa; heoi he kino tāna mahi ki te titiro a Ihowā. 7 Otiia kīhai i pai a Ihowā ki te whakangaro i te whare o Rāwiri; i whakaaro ki te kawenata i whakaritea e ia ki a Rāwiri, ki tāna hoki i kī ai, ka hoatu he rama ki a ia, ki āna tama, i ngā rā katoa.

Te Maunu o Eroma

8 I ōna rā ka maunu a Ēroma i raro i te ringa o Hūrā, ā, whakakīngitia ake e rātou he kīngi mō rātou. 9 Kātahi ka haere a Iehorama rātou ko āna rangatira, me ana hāriata katoa. Nā, maranga ana ia i te pō, ā, patua iho e ia ngā Ēromi i karapotia ai ia, rātou ko ngā rangatira o ngā hāriata. 10 Heoi, kua maunu a Ēroma i raro i te ringa o Hūrā ā taea noatia tēnei rā. I maunu anō a Rīpina i taua wā i raro i tōna ringa, nōna hoki i whakarere i a Ihowā, i te Atua o ōna mātua.

Tā Irāia Reta

11 Nā, i hangā e ia he wāhi tiketike ki ngā maunga o Hūrā, ā, meinga ana e ia ngā tāngata o Hiruhārama kia moepuku, i kūmea hoki e ia a Hūrā ki te hē.

12 Nā, kua tae mai ki a ia he mea i tuhituhia e Irāia poropiti, e mea ana:

"Ko te kupu tēnei a Ihowā, a te Atua o tōu pāpā, o Rāwiri: ‘Nā, i te mea kīhai koe i haere i ngā ara o tōu pāpā, o Iehohāpata, i ngā ara anō o Aha kīngi o Hūrā; 13 engari, haere ana koe i te ara o ngā kīngi o Īharaira, ā, meinga ana e koe a Hūrā, rātou ko ngā tāngata o Hiruhārama, kia moepuku, kia rite ki ngā moepuku o te whare o Āhapa; ā, patua ana e koe ōu tēina o te whare o tōu pāpā, he hunga i pai ake i a koe. 14 Nanā, he nui te whiu e whiua ai e Ihowā tōu iwi, āu tamariki, āu wāhine, me ōu rawa katoa; 15 ā, tērā e nui ōu mate, he mate nō ōu whēkau, nō ka puta ki waho ōu whēkau i te mate i tēnei rā, i tēnei rā.’ "

16 Nā, whakaarahia ana e Ihowā hei whawhai ki a Iehorama te wairua o ngā Pirihitini, o ngā Ārapi anō i tata ki ngā Etiopiana. 17 Nā, ka whakaekea a Hūrā e rātou; kua pakaru ki roto, kāhakina ake e rātou ngā taonga katoa i rokohanga ki te whare o te kīngi, āna tama, me āna wāhine, kīhai rawa tētahi tama āna i mahue ki a ia, ko Iehoahata anake, ko te whakaotinga o āna tama.

Te Māuiuitanga me te Matenga o Iehorama

18 I muri i tēnei katoa ka patua e Ihowā ōna whēkau; he mate kīhai i taea te rongoā. 19 Ā, ka maha ngā rā, ka taea te mutunga o ngā tau e rua, ka puta ōna whēkau ki waho, nā tōna mate hoki, ā, mate iho ia, he kino ōna mate. Kāhore hoki a tōna iwi tahunga mōna pērā me te tahunga mō ōna mātua.

20 E toru tekau mā rua ōna tau i tōna kīngitanga, ā, e waru ōna tau i kīngi ai ia ki Hiruhārama. Nā, kīhai ia i matenuitia i tōna haerenga; ā, tanumia ana ki te pā o Rāwiri, engari kāhore ki ngā tanumanga o ngā kīngi.

1 And 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 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 And their father gave them great gifts, of silver, and of gold, and of precious things, with fortified cities in Judah: but the kingdom gave he to Jehoram, because he was the first-born. 4 Now when Jehoram was risen up over the kingdom of his father, and had strengthened himself, he slew all his brethren with the sword, and divers also of the princes of Israel. 5 Jehoram was thirty and two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem. 6 And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did the house of Ahab; for he had the daughter of Ahab to wife: and he did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah. 7 Howbeit Jehovah would not destroy the house of David, because of the covenant that he had made with David, and as he promised to give a lamp to him and to his children alway.

8 In his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and made a king over themselves. 9 Then Jehoram passed over with his captains, and all his chariots with him: and he rose up by night, and smote the Edomites that compassed him about, and the captains of the chariots. 10 So Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah unto this day: then did Libnah revolt at the same time from under his hand, because he had forsaken Jehovah, the God of his fathers.

11 Moreover he made high places in the mountains of Judah, and made the inhabitants of Jerusalem to play the harlot, and led Judah astray. 12 And there came a writing to him from Elijah the prophet, saying, Thus saith Jehovah, the 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 but hast walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and hast made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to play the harlot, like as the house of Ahab did, and also hast slain thy brethren of thy father’s house, who were better than thyself: 14 behold, Jehovah will smite with a great plague thy people, and thy children, and thy wives, and all thy substance; 15 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 And Jehovah stirred up against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines, and of the Arabians that are beside the Ethiopians: 17 and they came up against 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 And after all this Jehovah smote him in his bowels with an incurable disease. 19 And it came to pass, in process of time, at the end of two years, that his bowels fell out by reason of his sickness, and he died of sore diseases. And his people made no burning for him, like the burning of his fathers. 20 Thirty and two years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem eight years: and he departed without being desired; and they buried him in the city of David, but not in the sepulchres of the kings.
