¹Ja Joosafat läks magama oma vanemate juurde ning ta maeti oma vanemate juurde Taaveti linna. Ja tema poeg Jooram sai tema asemel kuningaks.

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

²Temal olid vennad, Joosafati pojad: Asarja, Jehiel, Sakarja, Asarjahu, Miikael ja Sefatja; need kõik olid Iisraeli kuninga Joosafati pojad.

²And he had brethren, the sons of Jehoshaphat: Azariah and Jehiel, and Zechariah, and Azariah, and Michael, and Shephatiah: all these were sons of Jehoshaphat king of Israel.

³Nende isa oli neile andnud suuri kingitusi, hõbedat, kulda ja kalleid asju ühes kindlustatud linnadega Juudas; aga kuningriigi andis ta Jooramile, sest tema oli esmasündinu.

³And their father had given them great gifts of silver and of gold and of precious things, besides fortified cities in Judah; but the kingdom he gave to Jehoram, for he was the firstborn.

⁴Kui Jooram oli tõusnud oma isa aujärjele ja oli ennast kindlustanud, siis ta tappis mõõgaga kõik oma vennad, samuti ka mõned Jeruusalemma vürstidest.

⁴And Jehoram established himself over the kingdom of his father, and strengthened himself; and he slew all his brethren with the sword, and [certain] also of the princes of Israel.

⁵Jooram oli kuningaks saades kolmkümmend kaks aastat vana ja ta valitses Jeruusalemmas kaheksa aastat.

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

⁶Aga ta käis Iisraeli kuningate teed, nõnda nagu Ahabi sugu oli teinud, sest tal oli Ahabi tütar naiseks; ja ta tegi kurja Issanda silmis.

⁶And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did the house of Ahab, for the daughter of Ahab was his wife; and he did evil in the sight of Jehovah.

⁷Kuid Issand ei tahtnud Taaveti sugu hävitada lepingu pärast, mille ta Taavetiga oli teinud, ja sellepärast et ta temale ja ta poegadele oli tõotanud anda lambi kõigiks aegadeks.

⁷But Jehovah would not destroy the house of David, because of the covenant that he had made with David, and as he had promised to give to him always a lamp, and to his sons.

⁸Tema ajal taganesid edomlased Juuda käe alt ja tõstsid endile kuninga.

⁸In his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and they set a king over themselves.

⁹Siis läks Jooram oma pealikutega sinna ja tal olid kaasas kõik sõjavankrid; ta tõusis öösel ja lõi edomlasi, kes olid piiranud teda ja sõjavankrite pealikuid.

⁹And Jehoram went over with his captains, and all the chariots with him; and he rose up by night, and smote the Edomites who had surrounded him, and the captains of the chariots.

¹⁰Siiski on Edom tänapäevani taganenud Juuda käe alt; sel ajal taganes ka Libna tema käe alt, kuna ta oli hüljanud Issanda, oma vanemate Jumala.

¹⁰But the Edomites revolted from under the hand of Judah unto this day. Then Libnah revolted at the same time from under his hand, because he had forsaken Jehovah the God of his fathers.

¹¹Temagi tegi ohvrikünkaid Juuda mäestikku, saatis Jeruusalemma elanikud kõlvatust tegema ja eksitas Juudat.

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

¹²Aga temale tuli prohvet Eelijalt kiri, milles öeldi: 'Nõnda ütleb Issand, su isa Taaveti Jumal: Sellepärast et sa ei ole käinud oma isa Joosafati teedel ega Juuda kuninga Aasa teedel,

¹²And 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,

¹³vaid oled käinud Iisraeli kuningate teed ja oled saatnud Juuda ja Jeruusalemma elanikud kõlvatust tegema, nõnda nagu Ahabi sugu saatis kõlvatust tegema, ja ka sellepärast, et sa oled tapnud oma isa perest oma vennad, kes olid paremad kui sina,

¹³but hast walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and hast made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to commit fornication, like the fornications of the house of Ahab, and also hast slain thy brethren, thy father's house who were better than thyself:

¹⁴vaata, sellepärast nuhtleb Issand suure nuhtlusega su rahvast, su poegi, su naisi ja kogu su omandit,

¹⁴behold, Jehovah will smite with a great stroke thy people, and thy children, and thy wives, and all thy substance,

¹⁵ja sind ennast raskete haigustega, su sisikonna haigusega, kuni su sisikond on haiguse tõttu aja jooksul välja tulnud!'

¹⁵and thyself with sore sicknesses, with a disease of thy bowels, until thy bowels fall out by reason of the sickness day by day.

¹⁶Ja Issand äratas Joorami vastu vilistite ja araablaste vaimu, kes asusid etiooplaste naabruses,

¹⁶And Jehovah stirred up against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines, and of the Arabians, who [are] near the Ethiopians;

¹⁷ja need tulid üles Juudasse, tungisid sisse ja viisid ära kogu varanduse, mis leidus kuningakojas, ka tema pojad ja naised, nõnda et temale ei jäänud muud poega kui Jooahas, tema kõige noorem poeg.

¹⁷and they came up into Judah, and broke 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 no son left him, except Jehoahaz the youngest of his sons.

¹⁸Ja pärast kõike seda nuhtles Issand teda ravimatu sisikonnahaigusega:

¹⁸And after all this, Jehovah smote him in his bowels with an incurable sickness.

¹⁹aja jooksul, kahe aasta möödudes, tuli ta sisikond haiguse tõttu välja ja ta suri pahaloomulisse haigusesse. Aga tema rahvas ei põletanud tema auks koolnusuitsutust, nagu oli põletatud tema vanemate auks.

¹⁹And it came to pass, from day to day, and at the time when the second year was drawing to a close, that his bowels fell out by reason of his sickness, and he died in cruel sufferings. And his people made no burning for him, like the burning of his fathers.

²⁰Ta oli kuningaks saades kolmkümmend kaks aastat vana ja ta valitses Jeruusalemmas kaheksa aastat; ta läks ära, ilma et temast oleks hoolitud, ta maeti Taaveti linna, aga mitte kuningate hauda.

²⁰He was thirty-two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem eight years, and departed without being regretted. And they buried him in the city of David, but not in the sepulchres of the kings.
