1Pea naʻe mohe ʻa Sihosafate mo ʻene ngaahi tamai, pea naʻe tanu ia mo ʻene ngaahi tamai ʻi he kolo ʻa Tevita. Pea naʻe fetongi ia ʻi he pule ʻe Siholami ko hono foha.
1And Jehoshaphat rested with his fathers and was buried with them in the City of David. And his son Jehoram reigned in his place.
2Pea naʻe ʻiate ia hono ngaahi kāinga ko e ngaahi foha ʻo Sihosafate, ko ʻAsalia, mo Sehieli, mo Sakalia, mo ʻAsalia, mo Mikaeli, mo Sifatia: ko kinautolu ni ko e ngaahi foha ʻo Sihosafate ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli.
2Jehoram’s brothers, the sons of Jehoshaphat, were Azariah, Jehiel, Zechariah, Azariah, Michael, and Shephatiah; these were all sons of Jehoshaphat king of Israel.
3Pea naʻe foaki kiate kinautolu ʻe heʻenau tamai ʻae ngaahi foaki lahi ʻoe siliva mo e koula, pea mo e ngaahi meʻa mahuʻinga lahi, mo e ngaahi kolotau ʻi Siuta: ka naʻa ne foaki ʻae puleʻanga kia Siholami: he ko e ʻuluaki tupu ia.
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.
4Pea ʻi he hoko ʻa Siholami ki he puleʻanga ʻo ʻene tamai, naʻa ne fakamālohi ia: pea ne tāmateʻi hono ngaahi kāinga ʻaki ʻae heletā, mo e houʻeiki niʻihi ʻo ʻIsileli foki.
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.
5¶ Naʻe tolungofulu taʻu mo e taʻu ʻe ua ʻae motuʻa ʻo Siholami ʻi heʻene kamata pule, pea naʻe pule ʻe ia ʻi he taʻu ʻe valu ʻi Selūsalema.
5Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem eight years.
6Pea naʻe ʻalu ia ʻi he hala ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe fai ʻe he fale ʻo ʻEhapi: he naʻa ne fakamaʻu mali mo e ʻofefine ʻo ʻEhapi: pea naʻe fai ʻe ia ʻaia naʻe kovi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova.
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.
7Ka ko e moʻoni naʻe ʻikai fie fakaʻauha ʻe Sihova ʻae fale ʻo Tevita, ko e meʻa ʻi he fuakava naʻa ne fai mo Tevita, pea mo ʻene talaʻofa ke foaki ʻae maama kiate ia pea ki hono ngaahi foha ʻo taʻengata.
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.
8¶ naʻe angatuʻu ʻi hono ngaahi ʻaho ʻae kakai ʻItomi ki he puleʻanga ʻo Siuta, pea naʻa nau fakanofo honau tuʻi ʻonautolu.
8In the days of Jehoram, Edom rebelled against the hand of Judah and appointed their own king.
9Pea naʻe ʻalu atu ʻa Siholami mo ʻene ngaahi houʻeiki, mo ʻene ngaahi saliote kotoa pē: pea tuʻu hake ia ʻi he poʻuli, ʻo ne taaʻi ʻae kakai ʻItomi naʻe nofo takatakai ʻiate ia, mo e ngaahi ʻeiki pule ʻoe ngaahi saliote.
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.
10Ko ia naʻe angatuʻu ʻae kakai ʻItomi mei he pule ʻo Siuta ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni. Pea naʻe angatuʻu ʻa Lipina foki ʻi he kuonga ko ia ki heʻene pule: ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene liʻaki ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻene ngaahi tamai.
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.
11Pea naʻa ne ngaohi ʻae ngaahi potu māʻolunga ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga ʻo Siuta, mo ne pule ke fai feʻauaki ʻae kakai ʻo Selūsalema, ʻo ne fakamālohi ʻa Siuta ke fai ia.
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.
12¶ Pea naʻe haʻu ʻae tohi kiate ia meia ʻIlaisa ko e palōfita, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo Tevita ko hoʻo tamai, Ko e meʻa ʻi he ʻikai te ke ʻalu ʻi he ngaahi hala ʻo Sihosafate ko hoʻo tamai, pe ʻi he ngaahi hala ʻo ʻAsa ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta,
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,
13Ka kuo ke ʻalu ʻi he hala ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, pea kuo ke fakaangahalaʻi ʻa Siuta mo e kakai ʻo Selūsalema ke feʻauaki, ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi feʻauaki ʻoe fale ʻo ʻEhapi, pea kuo ke tāmateʻi foki ʻa ho ngaahi kāinga ʻi he fale ʻo hoʻo tamai, ʻaia naʻe angalelei lahi hake ʻiate koe:
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.
14Vakai, te u taaʻi ho kakai, ʻaki ʻae mamahi lahi, mo hoʻo ngaahi fānau, mo ho ngaahi uaifi, pea mo hoʻo ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē:
14So behold, the LORD is about to strike your people, your sons, your wives, and all your possessions with a serious blow.
15Pea ʻe ʻiate koe ʻae mahaki lahi ʻi he mahaki ʻi ho kete, pea ʻe mokulu kituʻa ʻa ho kete ko e meʻa ʻi he mahaki ʻi he ʻaho taki taha kotoa pē.
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.’”
16¶ Pea naʻe langaʻi hake foki ʻe Sihova ʻae loto ʻoe kakai Filisitia, mo e kakai ʻAlepea, ʻakinautolu naʻe vāofi mo e kakai ʻItiopea, ke nau tau kia Siholami:
16Then the LORD stirred against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines and Arabs who lived near the Cushites.
17Pea naʻa” nau ʻalu hake ki Siuta, pea naʻa nau ʻoho ki loto fonua ʻonau fetuku ʻo ʻave ʻae ngaahi koloa kotoa pē naʻe ʻilo ʻi he fale ʻoe tuʻi, pea mo hono ngaahi foha foki, mo hono ngaahi uaifi: ko ia naʻe ʻikai hano foha ʻe taha ʻe tuku kiate ia, ka ko Sihoaasi, ko e kimui ʻi hono ngaahi foha.
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.
18¶ Pea hili ʻae meʻa ni kotoa pē naʻe taaʻi ia ʻe Sihova ʻi hono kete ʻaki ʻae mahaki taʻefaʻafakamoʻui.
18After all this, the LORD afflicted Jehoram with an incurable disease of the bowels.
19Pea fai ai pe ʻo fuoloa pea hoko ʻo pehē, hili ʻae taʻu ʻe ua, naʻe mokulu hono ngākau kituʻa ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene mahaki: ko ia naʻe pekia ia ʻi he ngaahi mahaki lahi. Pea naʻe ʻikai ha tutu maʻana, ʻo hangē ko e tutu ki heʻene ngaahi tamai.
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.
20Ko e taʻu ʻe tolungofulu ia mo e taʻu ʻe ua hono motuʻa, ʻi heʻene kamata pule, pea naʻe pule ia ʻi Selūsalema ʻi he taʻu ʻe valu, pea naʻe ʻalu ia, pea naʻe ʻikai ha tokanga ki ai. Ka naʻa nau tanu ia ʻi he Kolo ʻo Tevita, ka naʻe ʻikai ʻi he ngaahi tanuʻanga ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi.
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.
