¹[Ny nahafatesan'i Josafata sy ny nanjakan'i Jehorama zanany] Ary Josafata lasa nodi-mandry any amin'ny razany, dia nalevina tao amin'ny razany tao an-Tanànan'i Davida izy; ary Jehorama zanany no nanjaka nandimby azy.

¹And Jehoshaphat lieth with his fathers, and is buried with his fathers in the city of David, and Jehoram his son reigneth in his stead.

²Ary nanan-drahalahy, zanak'i Josafata, koa izy, dia Azaria sy Jehiela sy Zakaria sy Azaria sy Mikaela ary Sefatia; ireo rehetra ireo no zanak'i Josafata, mpanjakan'ny Isiraely.

²And he hath brethren, sons of Jehoshaphat, Azariah, and Jehiel, and Zechariah, and Azariah, and Michael, and Shephatiah; all these [are] sons of Jehoshaphat king of Israel,

³Ary nomen-drainy harena betsaka ireo, dia volafotsy sy volamena ary zava-tsoa mbamin'ny tanàna sasany mimanda tany Joda; fa ny fanjakana kosa dia nomeny an'i Jehorama, satria izy no lahimatoa.

³and their father giveth to them many gifts of silver and of gold, and of precious things, with fenced cities in Judah, and the kingdom he hath given to Jehoram, for He [is] the first-born.

⁴Ary raha vao nanjaka tamin'ny fanjakan'ny rainy Jehorama, dia nitombo hery izy ka namono ny rahalahiny rehetra mbamin'ny mpanapaka sasany tamin'ny Isiraely koa tamin'ny sabatra.

⁴And Jehoram riseth up over the kingdom of his father, and strengtheneth himself, and slayeth all his brethren with the sword, and also -- of the heads of Israel.

⁵Roa amby telo-polo taona Jehorama, fony izy vao nanjaka, ary valo taona no nanjakany tany Jerosalema.

⁵A son of thirty and two years [is] Jehoram in his reigning, and eight years he hath reigned in Jerusalem,

⁶Ary nandeha tamin'ny lalan'ny mpanjakan'ny Isiraely izy, dia tahaka ny nataon'ny taranak'i Ahaba fa zanakavavin'i Ahaba no vadiny, eny, nanao izay ratsy eo imason'i Jehovah izy.

⁶and he walketh in the way of the kings of Israel, as did the house of Ahab, for a daughter of Ahab hath been to him for a wife, and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah,

⁷Nefa Jehovah tsy nety nandringana ny taranak'i Davida noho ny fanekena nataony tamin'i Davida sy ny nilazany fa homeny jiro mandrakizay izy mbamin'ny taranany.

⁷and Jehovah hath not been willing to destroy the house of David, for the sake of the covenant that He made with David, and as He had said to give to him a lamp, and to his sons -- all the days.

⁸Tamin'ny andron'i Jehorama no niodinan'ny Edomita ka tsy nanoa ny Joda, fa nanangana mpanjaka ho azy izy.

⁸In his days hath Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and cause a king to reign over them;

⁹Ka dia nivoaka Jehorama sy ireo mpanjaka nitondra ny kalesiny rehetra; ary nanaovany latsak'alina ny Edomita izay nanodidina azy sy ny komandin'ny kalesy.

⁹and Jehoram passeth over with his heads, and all the chariots with him, and it cometh to pass, he hath risen by night and smiteth the Edomites who are coming round against him, and the princes of the chariots,

¹⁰Nefa ny Edomita mbola niodina ka tsy nanoa ny Joda ihany ambaraka androany. Ary tamin'izany andro izany Libna koa niodina tsy nety nanoa an'i Jehorama, satria efa nahafoy an'i Jehovah, Andriamanitra ny razany, izy.

¹⁰and Edom revolteth from under the hand of Judah unto this day; then doth Libnah revolt at that time from under his hand, because he hath forsaken Jehovah, God of his fathers,

¹¹Ary nanao fitoerana avo teny an-tendrombohitr'i Joda koa izy sady nampijangajanga ny mponina tany Jerosalema ary nitaona ny Joda mangingina hanao izany.

¹¹also, he hath made high places in the mountains of Judah, and causeth the inhabitants of Jerusalem to commit whoredom, and compelleth Judah.

¹²Ary nisy taratasy avy tamin'i Elia mpaminany tonga tao aminy nanao hoe: Izao no lazain'i Jehovah, Andriamanitr'i Davida rainao: Noho ny tsy nandehananao tamin'ny lalan'i Josafata rainao, na ny lalan'i Asa, mpanjakan'ny Joda,

¹²And there cometh in unto him a writing from Elijah the prophet, saying, `Thus said Jehovah, God of David thy father, Because that thou hast not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat thy father, and in the ways of Asa king of Judah,

¹³fa nandeha tamin'ny lalan'ny mpanjakan'ny Isiraely kosa ianao ka nampijangajanga ny Joda sy ny mponina any Jerosalema toy ny fijangajangan'ny taranak'i Ahaba, sady novonoinao koa ny rahalahinao nateraky ny rainao, izay tsara noho ianao,

¹³and thou dost walk in the way of the kings of Israel, and dost cause Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to commit whoredom like the whoredoms of the house of Ahab, and also thy brethren, the house of thy father, who are better than thyself, thou hast slain;

¹⁴dia, indro, hasian'i Jehovah areti-mandringana ny vahoakanao sy ny zanakao sy ireo vadinao mbamin'ny biby fiompinao rehetra;

¹⁴lo, Jehovah is smiting -- a great smiting -- among thy people, and among thy sons, and among thy wives, and among all thy goods --

¹⁵ary ianao koa ho azon'ny aretina mafy, dia aretina amin'ny tsinainao, mandra-pialàlan'ny tsinainao isan'andro isan'andro noho ny aretina.

¹⁵and thou, with many sicknesses, with disease of thy bowels, till thy bowels come out, by the sickness, day by day.'

¹⁶Ary Jehovah namporisika ny Filistina sy ny Arabo izay ao akaikin'ny Etiopiana hamely an'i Jehorama;

¹⁶And Jehovah waketh up against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines, and of the Arabians, who [are] beside the Cushim,

¹⁷ary niakatra tany Joda ireo ka nisesika tao, dia nobaboiny ny fananana rehetra izay an'ny ankohonan'ny mpanjaka mbamin'ny zanany sy ny vadiny koa, ka tsy nisy zanany intsony, afa-tsy Joahaza faralahiny ihany.

¹⁷and they come up into Judah, and rend it, and take captive all the substance that is found at the house of the king, and also his sons, and his wives, and there hath not been left to him a son except Jehoahaz the youngest of his sons.

¹⁸Ary nony afaka izany rehetra izany, dia nasian'i Jehovah aretina tsy azo sitranina tamin'ny tsinainy izy.

¹⁸And after all this hath Jehovah plagued him in his bowels by a disease for which there is no healing,

¹⁹Ary rehefa ela, nony afaka roa taona, dia nialàla ny tsinainy azon'ny aretiny; ka dia maty tamin'ny fangirifiriana mafy izy. Ary ny vahoakany tsy mba nandoro zavatra ho fisaonana azy toy ny nataony tamin'ny razany.Roa amby telo-polo taona izy, fony vao nanjaka, ary valo taona no nanjakany tany Jerosalema; koa lasa tsy nisy nalahelo azy izy. Ary nalevina tao an-Tanànan'i Davida ihany izy, nefa tsy mba tao amin'ny fasan'ny mpanjaka.

¹⁹and it cometh to pass, from days to days, and at the time of the going out of the end of two years, his bowels have gone out with his sickness, and he dieth of sore diseases, and his people have not made for him a burning like the burning of his fathers.

²⁰Roa amby telo-polo taona izy, fony vao nanjaka, ary valo taona no nanjakany tany Jerosalema; koa lasa tsy nisy nalahelo azy izy. Ary nalevina tao an-Tanànan'i Davida ihany izy, nefa tsy mba tao amin'ny fasan'ny mpanjaka.

²⁰A son of thirty and two [years] was he in his reigning, and eight years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and he goeth without desire, and they bury him in the city of David, and not in the graves of the kings.
