1Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David: and Jehoram his son reigned in his place.
1 Yehosafat binde kani nga kaayey banda. I n'a fiji Dawda birno ra nga kaayey banda. A ize Yehoram mo te bonkooni a nango ra.
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.
2 A gonda kayneyaŋ, Yehosafat ize yaŋ, ngey: Azariya, da Yehiyel, da Zakariya, da Munkayla, da Azariya, da Sefatiya; woone yaŋ kulu Israyla bonkoono Yehosafat ize yaŋ no.
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.
3 I baabo mo n'i no nooyaŋ boobo, nzarfu nda wura, da jinay caadante yaŋ, da wongu gallu cinarikoy yaŋ Yahuda ra. Amma a na mayra no Yehoram se, zama nga no ga ti a hay-jina.
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.
4 Amma waato kaŋ Yehoram kaaru nga baaba mayra boŋ, a na nga boŋ gaabandi mo, kal a na nga kayney kulu wi da takuba, hala nda Israyla ra mayraykoy fooyaŋ mo.
5Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.
5 Yehoram gonda jiiri waranza cindi hinka waato kaŋ cine a sintin ka may. A may mo Urusalima ra jiiri ahakku.
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.
6 A na Israyla bonkooney fonda gana mo, sanda mate kaŋ cine Ahab dumo te, zama a na Ahab ize way fo hiiji. A na goy laalo te mo Rabbi diyaŋ gaa.
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.
7 Kulu nda yaadin Rabbi mana yadda nga ma Dawda dumo halaci, alkawlo kaŋ a te Dawda se din sabbay se, zama a ne mo nga ga fitilla no a se d'a izey mo se duumi.
8In his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and made a king over themselves.
8 A zamana ra no Edom murte Yahuda gaa. I na bonkooni daŋ ngey boŋ se.
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.
9 Alwaato din Yehoram daaru, nga nda nga soojey, d'a torkey kulu nga banda. Edomancey goono g'a daŋ game, nga nd'a torkey jine borey. A tun cino ra mo k'i kar.
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.
10 Yaadin cine no Edom murte nd'a ka fun Yahuda kambe hala ka kaa sohõ. Saaya din no Libna mo murte a gaa, alwaati follonka din ra, zama Yehoram fay da Rabbi nga kaayey Irikoyo.
11Moreover he made high places in the mountains of Judah, and made the inhabitants of Jerusalem to play the prostitute, and led Judah astray.
11 A na tudey boŋ sududuyaŋ nanguyaŋ te mo koyne Yahuda tondi kuukey ra. A na Urusalima borey daŋ i ma kaaruwataray* te, a na Yahuda mo darandi nga fonda gaa.
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,
12 Kala annabi Iliya tira kaa ka furo a kambe ra kaŋ ne: «Yaa no Rabbi, ni kaayo Dawda Irikoyo ne: Ni mana dira ni baaba Yehosafat fonda ra, wala mo Yahuda bonkoono Asa fonda ra,
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:
13 amma ni na Israyla bonkooney fonda gana. Ni daŋ mo Yahuda gorokoy da Urusalima waney kulu ma kaaruwataray te, sanda mate kaŋ cine Ahab dumo te. Ni na ni kayney mo wi, ni baabo windo waney, wo kaŋ yaŋ bisa nin booriyaŋ.
14behold, Yahweh will strike with a great plague your people, and your children, and your wives, and all your substance;
14 Woodin sabbay se no a go, Rabbi ga ni borey da ni izey, da ni wandey, da hay kulu kaŋ go ni se kar da masiiba beeri.
15and you shall have great sickness by disease of your bowels, until your bowels fall out by reason of the sickness, day by day.’”
15 Ni ga azaaba da doori boobo haŋ ni teeley ra, hala baa ni teeley ga mun ni dooro kaŋ go no zaari ka koy zaari se.»
16Yahweh stirred up against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines, and of the Arabians who are beside the Ethiopians:
16 Rabbi mo na Filistancey biney tunandi Yehoram gaa, da Laarabey waney, wo kaŋ yaŋ ga maan Etiyopi borey,
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.
17 hala i kande wongu Yahuda gaa. I n'a hirro daaru ka furo. I na arzaka kulu kaŋ i gar bonkoono windo ra ku, d'a izey, d'a wandey, hala i mana ize alboro cindi a se baa afolloŋ, kal a koda Yehowahaz hinne.
18After all this Yahweh struck him in his bowels with an incurable disease.
18 Woodin kulu banda no Rabbi ye k'a kar teelo ra nda doori kaŋ si yay.
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.
19 A ciya mo woodin, a jiiri hinkanta bananta, kal a teeley kaa ka gusam, a dooro sabbay se. A bu da doori nda azaaba. A borey mana danji funsu a se sanda mate kaŋ i te a kaayey se.
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.
20 A gonda jiiri waranza cindi hinka waato kaŋ a sintin ka may. A may Urusalima ra mo jiiri ahakku. A dira, a buwo mana dooru boro kulu gaa. I n'a fiji Dawda birno ra, amma manti bonkooney saarayey ra bo.
