Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in David’s city; and Jehoram his son 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。
2He had brothers, the sons of Jehoshaphat: Azariah, Jehiel, Zechariah, Azariah, Michael, and Shephatiah. All these were the 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 gave them great gifts of silver, of gold, and of precious things, with 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。
4Now when Jehoram had risen up over the kingdom of his father, and had strengthened himself, he killed all his brothers with the sword, and also 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 began to reign, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.
5約蘭 登基的時候年三十二歲，在 耶路撒冷 作王八年。
6He walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did Ahab’s house, for he had Ahab’s daughter as his wife. He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight.
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。
7However the LORD would not destroy David’s house, 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 his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and made a king over themselves.
8約蘭 年間， 以東 人背叛 猶大 ，脫離他的權下，自己立王。
9Then Jehoram went there with his captains and all his chariots with him. He rose up by night and struck the Edomites who surrounded him, along with the captains of the chariots.
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 Edom has been in revolt from under the hand of Judah to this day. Then Libnah revolted at the same time from under his hand, because he 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。
11Moreover he made high places in the mountains of Judah, and made the inhabitants of Jerusalem play the prostitute, and 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。
12A letter came to him from Elijah the prophet, saying, “the LORD, the God of David your father, says, ‘Because you have not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat your father, nor in the ways 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 have walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and have made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to play the prostitute like Ahab’s house did, and also have slain your brothers of your father’s house, who were better than yourself,
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。
14behold, the LORD will strike your people with a great plague, including your children, your wives, and all your possessions;
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 you will have great sickness with a disease of your bowels, until your bowels fall out by reason of the sickness, day by day.’”
15你的腸子必患病，日加沉重，以致你的腸子墜落下來。』」
16The LORD stirred up against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines and of the Arabians who are beside the Ethiopians;
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 。
17and they came up against Judah, broke into it, and carried away all the possessions that were found in the king’s house, including his sons and his wives, so that there was no son left to him except Jehoahaz, the youngest of his sons.
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 struck him in his bowels with an incurable disease.
18這些事以後，耶和華使 約蘭 的腸子患不能醫治的病。
19In process of time, at the end of two years, 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。
20He was thirty-two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem eight years. He departed with no one’s regret. They buried him in David’s city, 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。
