1 Ɛberɛ a Yehosafat wuiɛ no, wɔsiee no wɔ nʼagyanom nkyɛn wɔ Dawid kurom. Na ne babarima Yehoram dii nʼadeɛ sɛ ɔhene. 2 Yehoram nuanom mmarima a na wɔyɛ Yehosafat mmammarima foforɔ bi no ne Asaria, Yehiel, Sakaria, Asaria, Mikael ne Sefatia. 3 Wɔn agya maa wɔn mu biara akyɛdeɛ a ɛsom bo, a ɛyɛ dwetɛ, sikakɔkɔɔ ne aboɔdenneɛ, na afei, ɔde Yuda nkuro a wɔabɔ ho ban no bi kyekyɛɛ wɔn. Na ɛsiane sɛ Yehoram yɛ abakan enti, ɔbɛyɛɛ ɔhene.

4 Na ɛberɛ a Yehoram ahennie timiiɛ no, ɔkunkumm ne nuammarima no nyinaa ne Israelfoɔ ntuanofoɔ bi. 5 Ɛberɛ a Yehoram dii adeɛ no, na wadi mfirinhyia aduasa mmienu. Na ɔdii adeɛ Yerusalem mfirinhyia nwɔtwe. 6 Na Yehoram yɛɛ sɛdeɛ Israel ahemfo yɛeɛ. Na ɔyɛ otirimuɔdenfoɔ te sɛ ɔhene Ahab, ɛfiri sɛ, na waware Ahab mmammaa no mu baako. Enti Yehoram yɛɛ bɔne wɔ Awurade ani so. 7 Nanso, na Awurade mpɛ sɛ ɔsɛe Dawid ahennie nnidisoɔ, ɛfiri sɛ, na ɔne Dawid ayɛ apam ahyɛ bɔ sɛ, nʼasefoɔ bɛkɔ so adi ɔhene afebɔɔ.

8 Yehoram berɛ so na Edomfoɔ sɔre tiaa Yuda, na wɔsii wɔn ankasa wɔn ɔhene. 9 Enti, Yehoram de akodɔm ne ne nteaseɛnam nyinaa kɔto hyɛɛ Edom so.

Saa ɛberɛ korɔ no ara mu, Libna kuro tee atua, ɛfiri sɛ, na Yehoram atwe ne ho afiri Awurade, nʼagyanom Onyankopɔn ho. 11 Na wasisi abosonsomfoɔ asɔreeɛ wɔ Yuda mmepɔ asase so, ama nnipa a wɔwɔ Yerusalem ne Yuda akɔsom abosonsomfoɔ anyame.

12 Na odiyifoɔ Elia twerɛɛ saa krataa yi kɔmaa Yehoram:

"Asɛm a Awurade, wʼagya Dawid Onyankopɔn seɛ nie: ‘Woanni wʼagya Yehosafat anaa wo nana Yudahene Asa nhwɛsoɔpa so. 13 Mmom, woayɛ omumuyɛfoɔ sɛ Israel ahemfo. Woama Yerusalemfoɔ ne Yudafoɔ akɔsom ahoni te sɛ deɛ ɔhene Ahab yɛɛ wɔ Israel no. Na mpo, woakunkum wʼankasa wo nuanom mmarima a na wɔdi mu sene wo. 14 Enti afei, Awurade de ɔhaw kɛseɛ bɛba wo, wo nkurɔfoɔ, wo mma, wo yerenom ne biribiara a ɛyɛ wo dea so. 15 Wʼankasa deɛ, wɔde nsono mu yadeɛ a ɛyɛ ya yie bɛto wo so kɔsi sɛ wʼayamudeɛ bɛtu apue.’ "

16 Na Awurade kaa Filistifoɔ ne Arabfoɔ a na wɔte bɛn Etiopiafoɔ so sɛ wɔnkɔto nhyɛ Yehoram so. 17 Wɔbɔɔ nsra kɔɔ Yuda so, kɔbubuu ne banbɔdeɛ nyinaa, foo aboɔden nneɛma a ɛwɔ ahemfie hɔ a ne mmammarima ne ne yerenom ka ho. Ne babarima kumaa Yehoahas nko na wɔgyaa no.
