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

¹Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David: and Jehoram his son reigned in his place.

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

²He had brothers, 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.

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.

³Their 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 firstborn.

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

⁴Now when Jehoram was risen up over the kingdom of his father, and had strengthened himself, he killed all his brothers with the sword, and various 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.

⁶He walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did the house of Ahab; for he had the daughter of Ahab as wife: and he did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh.

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.

⁷However Yahweh 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 always.

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

⁸In his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and made 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.

⁹Then Jehoram passed over with his captains, and all his chariots with him: and he rose up by night, and struck the Edomites who surrounded him, along with 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.

¹⁰So Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah to this day: then Libnah revolted at the same time from under his hand, because he had forsaken Yahweh, the God of his fathers.

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

¹¹Moreover he made high places in the mountains of Judah, and made the inhabitants of Jerusalem to play the prostitute, and led Judah astray.

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,

¹²A letter came to him from Elijah the prophet, saying, “Thus says Yahweh, the God of David your father, ‘Because you have not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat your 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 have walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and have made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to play the prostitute, like the house of Ahab did, and also have slain your brothers of your father’s house, who were better than yourself:

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

¹⁴behold, Yahweh will strike with a great plague your people, and your children, and your wives, and all your substance;

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

¹⁵and you shall have great sickness by disease of your bowels, until your bowels fall out by reason of the sickness, day by day.’”

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

¹⁶Yahweh stirred up against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines, and of the Arabians who are beside 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 against 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 never a son left him, except Jehoahaz, the youngest of his sons.

¹⁸Ja pärast kõike seda nuhtles Issand teda ravimatu sisikonnahaigusega:

¹⁸After all this Yahweh struck him in his bowels with an incurable disease.

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.

¹⁹It happened, in process of time, at the end of two years, that his bowels fell out by reason of his sickness, and he died of severe diseases. 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.

²⁰Thirty-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 tombs of the kings.
