Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1And Jehoshaphat rested with his fathers and was buried with them in the City of David. And his son Jehoram reigned in his place.
1約沙法 與他列祖同睡，葬在 大衛城 他列祖的墳地裏。他兒子 約蘭 接續他作王。
2Jehoram’s brothers, the sons of Jehoshaphat, were Azariah, Jehiel, Zechariah, Azariah, Michael, and Shephatiah; these were all sons of Jehoshaphat king of Israel.
2約蘭 有幾個兄弟，就是 約沙法 的兒子 亞撒利雅 、 耶歇 、 撒迦利雅 、 亞撒利雅 、 米迦勒 、 示法提雅 。這都是 猶大 王 約沙法 的兒子。
3Their father had given them many gifts of silver and gold and precious things, as well as the fortified cities in Judah; but he gave the kingdom to Jehoram because he was the firstborn.
3他們的父親將許多金銀、財寶，和 猶大 地的堅固城賜給他們；但將國賜給 約蘭 ，因為他是長子。
4When Jehoram had established himself over his father’s kingdom, he strengthened himself by putting to the sword all his brothers along with some of the princes of Israel.
4約蘭 興起坐他父的位，奮勇自強，就用刀殺了他的眾兄弟和 以色列 的幾個首領。
5Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem eight years.
5約蘭 登基的時候年三十二歲，在 耶路撒冷 作王八年。
6And Jehoram walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, just as the house of Ahab had done. For he married a daughter of Ahab and did evil in the sight of the LORD.
6他行 以色列 諸王的道，與 亞哈 家一樣；因他娶了 亞哈 的女兒為妻，行耶和華眼中看為惡的事。
7Yet the LORD was unwilling to destroy the house of David, because of the covenant He had made with David, and since He had promised to maintain a lamp for David and his descendants forever.
7耶和華卻因自己與 大衛 所立的約，不肯滅 大衛 的家，照他所應許的，永遠賜燈光與 大衛 和他的子孫。
8In the days of Jehoram, Edom rebelled against the hand of Judah and appointed their own king.
8約蘭 年間， 以東 人背叛 猶大 ，脫離他的權下，自己立王。
9So Jehoram crossed into Edom with his officers and all his chariots. When the Edomites surrounded him and his chariot commanders, he rose up and attacked by night.
9約蘭 就率領軍長和所有的戰車，夜間起來，攻擊圍困他的 以東 人和車兵長。
10So to this day Edom has been in rebellion against the hand of Judah. Likewise, Libnah rebelled against his rule at the same time, because Jehoram had forsaken the LORD, the God of his fathers.
10這樣， 以東 人背叛 猶大 ，脫離他的權下，直到今日。那時， 立拿 人也背叛了，因為 約蘭 離棄耶和華－他列祖的上帝。
11Jehoram had also built high places on the hills of Judah; he had caused the people of Jerusalem to prostitute themselves and had led Judah astray.
11他又在 猶大 諸山建築邱壇，使 耶路撒冷 的居民行邪淫，誘惑 猶大 人。
12Then a letter came to Jehoram from Elijah the prophet, which stated: “This is what the LORD, the God of your father David, says: ‘You have not walked in the ways of your father Jehoshaphat or of Asa king of Judah,
12先知 以利亞 達信與 約蘭 說：「耶和華－你祖 大衛 的上帝如此說：『因為你不行你父 約沙法 和 猶大 王 亞撒 的道，
13but you have walked in the ways of the kings of Israel and have caused Judah and the people of Jerusalem to prostitute themselves, just as the house of Ahab prostituted itself. You have also killed your brothers, your father’s family, who were better than you.
13乃行 以色列 諸王的道，使 猶大 人和 耶路撒冷 的居民行邪淫，像 亞哈 家一樣，又殺了你父家比你好的諸兄弟。
14So behold, the LORD is about to strike your people, your sons, your wives, and all your possessions with a serious blow.
14故此，耶和華降大災與你的百姓和你的妻子、兒女，並你一切所有的。
15And day after day you yourself will suffer from a severe illness, a disease of your bowels, until it causes your bowels to come out.’”
15你的腸子必患病，日加沉重，以致你的腸子墜落下來。』」
16Then the LORD stirred against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines and Arabs who lived near the Cushites.
16以後，耶和華激動 非利士 人和靠近 古實 的 阿拉伯 人來攻擊 約蘭 。
17So they went to war against Judah, invaded it, and carried off all the possessions found in the king’s palace, along with his sons and wives; not a son was left to him except Jehoahaz, his youngest.
17他們上來攻擊 猶大 ，侵入境內，擄掠了王宮裏所有的財貨和他的妻子、兒女，除了他小兒子 約哈斯 之外，沒有留下一個兒子。
18After all this, the LORD afflicted Jehoram with an incurable disease of the bowels.
18這些事以後，耶和華使 約蘭 的腸子患不能醫治的病。
19This continued day after day until two full years had passed. Finally, his intestines came out because of his disease, and he died in severe pain. And his people did not make a fire in his honor as they had done for his fathers.
19他患此病纏綿日久，過了二年，腸子墜落下來，病重而死。他的民沒有為他燒甚麼物件，像從前為他列祖所燒的一樣。
20Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem eight years. He died, to no one’s regret, and was buried in the City of David, but not in the tombs of the kings.
20約蘭 登基的時候年三十二歲，在 耶路撒冷 作王八年。他去世無人思慕，眾人葬他在 大衛城 ，只是不在列王的墳墓裏。
