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.

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.

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

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,

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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,

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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,

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.

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,

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

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

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,

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:

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;

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
