¹Now Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David. And Jehoram his son reigned in his stead.

¹In Josafat je legel k očetom svojim, in bil je pokopan z očeti svojimi v mestu Davidovem; in Joram, sin njegov, je zakraljeval na mestu njegovem.

²And 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.

²In imel je brate, sinove Josafatove: Azarija, Jehiela, Zeharija, Azarija, Mihaela in Sefatija. Ti vsi so bili sinovi Josafata, kralja Judovega.

³And their father gave them great gifts of silver, and of gold, and of precious things, with fenced cities in Judah: but the kingdom gave he to Jehoram; because he was the firstborn.

³In njih oče jim je dal veliko darov od srebra, zlata in dragocenih reči z utrjenimi mesti vred na Judovem. A kraljestvo je dal Joramu, ker je bil prvenec.

⁴Now when Jehoram was risen up to the kingdom of his father, he strengthened himself, and slew all his brethren with the sword, and divers also of the princes of Israel.

⁴Ko pa je Joram zavladal svojega očeta kraljestvu in se ojačil, je pobil vse brate svoje z mečem in nekatere poglavarje Izraelove.

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

⁵Joram je bil dvaintrideset let star, ko je začel vladati, in kraljeval je osem let v Jeruzalemu.

⁶And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, like as did the house of Ahab: for he had the daughter of Ahab to wife: and he wrought that which was evil in the eyes of the LORD.

⁶In hodil je po poti kraljev Izraelovih, kakor je delala hiša Ahabova, kajti imel je hčer Ahabovo za ženo; in delal je, kar je bilo hudo v očeh GOSPODOVIH.

⁷Howbeit the LORD would not destroy the house of David, because of the covenant that he had made with David, and as he promised to give a light to him and to his sons for ever.

⁷Ali GOSPOD ni hotel uničiti hiše Davidove zaradi zaveze, ki jo je bil sklenil z Davidom, in ker je obljubil, da dá svetilo njemu in sinovom njegovim vsekdar.

⁸In his days the Edomites revolted from under the dominion of Judah, and made themselves a king.

⁸V dneh njegovih so odstopili Edomci izpod oblasti Judove in si postavili zase kralja.

⁹Then Jehoram went forth with his princes, and all his chariots with him: and he rose up by night, and smote the Edomites which compassed him in, and the captains of the chariots.

⁹Nato je Joram šel tja s poveljniki svojimi in vsi njegovi vozovi ž njim; in vzdignil se je po noči ter pobil Edomce, ki so ga obdajali, in poveljnike voz.

¹⁰So the Edomites revolted from under the hand of Judah unto this day. The same time also did Libnah revolt from under his hand; because he had forsaken the LORD God of his fathers.

¹⁰Vendar so se Edomci upirali oblasti Judovi do tega dne. Potem se je uprla tudi Libna oblasti njegovi v tistem času; zakaj zapustil je bil GOSPODA, Boga očetov svojih.

¹¹Moreover he made high places in the mountains of Judah and caused the inhabitants of Jerusalem to commit fornication, and compelled Judah thereto.

¹¹Tudi je naredil višave po gorah Judovih in zapeljeval prebivalce jeruzalemske, da so nečistovali, in zapeljal je tudi Judo.

¹²And there came a writing to him from Elijah the prophet, saying, Thus saith the LORD 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,

¹²In prišlo mu je pismo od Elija proroka, ki se je glasilo: Tako pravi GOSPOD, Bog Davida, očeta tvojega: Ker nisi hodil po potih Josafata, očeta svojega, ne po potih Asa, kralja Judovega,

¹³But hast walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and hast made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to go a whoring, like to the whoredoms of the house of Ahab, and also hast slain thy brethren of thy father's house, which were better than thyself:

¹³temuč hodiš po poti kraljev Izraelovih in zapeljuješ Judo in prebivalce jeruzalemske v nečistovanje, kakor je hiša Ahabova nečistovala, in si tudi umoril brate svoje iz očeta svojega hiše, ki so bili boljši od tebe:

¹⁴Behold, with a great plague will the LORD smite thy people, and thy children, and thy wives, and all thy goods:

¹⁴glej, zato GOSPOD udari s hudo šibo ljudstvo tvoje, otroke in žene tvoje in vse blago tvoje;

¹⁵And thou shalt have great sickness by disease of thy bowels, until thy bowels fall out by reason of the sickness day by day.

¹⁵ti pa boš veliko trpel od bolezni na črevih, dokler ne pojde drob od tebe vsled tvoje bolezni dan za dnevom.

¹⁶Moreover the LORD stirred up against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines, and of the Arabians, that were near the Ethiopians:

¹⁶In GOSPOD je obudil zoper Jorama duha Filistejcev in Arabcev, ki prebivajo poleg Etiopcev;

¹⁷And they came up into 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.

¹⁷in prišli so gori zoper Judo in so vdrli v deželo in odnesli vse blago, kar ga je bilo v hiši kraljevi, tudi sinove in žene njegove, da mu ni ostalo sina, samo Joahaz, najmlajši sinov njegovih.

¹⁸And after all this the LORD smote him in his bowels with an incurable disease.

¹⁸In po vsem tem ga je GOSPOD udaril na njegovih črevih z neozdravljivo boleznijo.

¹⁹And it came to pass, that in process of time, after the end of two years, his bowels fell out by reason of his sickness: so he died of sore diseases. And his people made no burning for him, like the burning of his fathers.

¹⁹In to je trpelo od dne do dne, in ko je tako minil čas dveh let, so šla od njega čreva vsled bolezni, in umrl je v hudih bolečinah. In ljudstvo njegovo ni zanj napravilo nobenega ognja, kakršnega so priredili očetom njegovim.Dvaintrideset let je bil star, ko je zakraljeval, in vladal je v Jeruzalemu osem let. In odšel je, ne da bi bili žalovali za njim; in pokopali so ga v mestu Davidovem, a ne v grobih kraljevskih.

²⁰Thirty and two years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem eight years, and departed without being desired. Howbeit they buried him in the city of David, but not in the sepulchres of the kings.

²⁰Dvaintrideset let je bil star, ko je zakraljeval, in vladal je v Jeruzalemu osem let. In odšel je, ne da bi bili žalovali za njim; in pokopali so ga v mestu Davidovem, a ne v grobih kraljevskih.
