2 Chronicles 21
Maori Bible
21 Na kua moe a Iehohapata ki ona matua, kua tanumia ki ona matua ki te pa o Rawiri; a ko Iehorama, ko tana tama, te kingi i muri i a ia.
2 He teina ano ona, he tama na Iehohapata, ko Ataria, ko Tehiere, ko Hakaraia, ko Ataria, ko Mikaera, ko Hepatia. Ko enei katoa he tama na Iehohapata kingi o Iharaira.
3 I hoatu hoki etahi hakari nui e to ratou papa ki a ratou, he hiriwa, he koura, he taonga utu nui, he pa taiepa i Hura: ko te kingitanga ia i hoatu e ia ki a Iehorama; no te mea ko ia te matamua.
4 A, ka kake a Iehorama ki te kingitanga o tona papa, ka whai kaha, na patua iho e ia ona teina katoa ki te hoari, me etahi o nga rangatira o Iharaira.
5 E toru tekau ma rua nga tau o Iehorama i a ia i kingi ai, a e waru ona tau i kingi ai ia ki Hiruharama.
6 Na haere ana ia i te ara o nga kingi o Iharaira, pera ana me ta te whare o Ahapa i mea ai; he wahine hoki nana te tamahine a Ahapa; heoi he kino tana mahi ki te titiro a Ihowa.
7 Otiia kihai i pai a Ihowa ki te whakangaro i te whare o Rawiri: i whakaaro ki te kawenata i whakaritea e ia ki a Rawiri, ki tana hoki i ki ai, ka hoatu he rama ki a ia, ki ana tama, i nga ra katoa.
8 I ona ra ka maunu a Eroma i raro i te ringa o Hura, a whakakingitia ake e ratou he kingi mo ratou.
9 Katahi ka haere a Iehorama ratou ko ana rangatira, me ana hariata katoa. Na maranga ana ia i te po, a patua iho e ia nga Eromi i karapotia ai ia, ratou ko nga rangatira o nga hariata.
10 Heoi kua maunu a Eroma i raro i te ringa o Hura a taea noatia tenei ra. I maunu ano a Ripina i taua wa i raro i tona ringa, nona hoki i whakarere i a Ihowa, i te Atua o ona matua.
11 Na i hanga e ia he wahi tiketike ki nga maunga o Hura, a meinga ana e ia nga tangata o Hiruharama kia moepuku, i kumea hoki e ia a Hura ki te he.
12 Na kua tae mai ki a ia he mea i tuhituhia e Iraia poropiti, e mea ana, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, a te Atua o tou papa, o Rawiri, Na, i te mea kihai koe i haere i nga ara o tou papa, o Iehohapata, i nga ara ano o Aha kingi o Hura;
13 Engari haere ana koe i te ara o nga kingi o Iharaira, a meinga ana e koe a Hura, ratou ko nga tangata o Hiruharama, kia moepuku, kia rite ki nga moepuku o te whare o Ahapa; a patua ana e koe ou teina o te whare o tou papa, he hunga i pai ake i a koe:
14 Nana, he nui te whiu e whiua ai e Ihowa tou iwi, au tamariki, au wahine, me ou rawa katoa:
15 A tera e nui ou mate, he mate no ou whekau, no ka puta ki waho ou whekau i te mate i tenei ra, i tenei ra.
16 Na whakaarahia ana e Ihowa hei whawhai ki a Iehorama te wairua o nga Pirihitini, o nga Arapi ano i tata ki nga Etiopiana.
17 Na ka whakaekea a Hura e ratou; kua pakaru ki roto, kahakina ake e ratou nga taonga katoa i rokohanga ki te whare o te kingi, ana tama, me ana wahine, kihai rawa tetahi tama ana i mahue ki a ia, ko Iehoahata anake, ko te whakaotinga o ana tama.
18 I muri i tenei katoa ka patua e Ihowa ona whekau; he mate kihai i taea te rongoa.
19 A ka maha nga ra, ka taea te mutunga o nga tau e rua, ka puta ona whekau ki waho, na tona mate hoki, a mate iho ia, he kino ona mate; kahore hoki a tona iwi tahunga mona pera me te tahunga mo ona matua.
20 E toru tekau ma rua ona tau i tona kingitanga, a e waru ona tau i kingi ai ia ki Hiruharama: na kihai ia i matenuitia i tona haerenga; a tanumia ana ki te pa o Rawiri, engari kahore ki nga tanumanga o nga kingi.
2 Chronicles 21
New International Version
2 Chronicles 21
New International Version
21 Then Jehoshaphat rested with his ancestors and was buried with them in the City of David. And Jehoram(A) his son succeeded him as king. 2 Jehoram’s brothers, the sons of Jehoshaphat, were Azariah, Jehiel, Zechariah, Azariahu, Michael and Shephatiah. All these were sons of Jehoshaphat king of Israel.[a] 3 Their father had given them many gifts(B) of silver and gold and articles of value, as well as fortified cities(C) in Judah, but he had given the kingdom to Jehoram because he was his firstborn son.
Jehoram King of Judah(D)
4 When Jehoram established(E) himself firmly over his father’s kingdom, he put all his brothers(F) to the sword along with some of the officials of Israel. 5 Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem eight years. 6 He followed the ways of the kings of Israel,(G) as the house of Ahab had done, for he married a daughter of Ahab.(H) He did evil in the eyes of the Lord. 7 Nevertheless, because of the covenant the Lord had made with David,(I) the Lord was not willing to destroy the house of David.(J) He had promised to maintain a lamp(K) for him and his descendants forever.
8 In the time of Jehoram, Edom(L) rebelled against Judah and set up its own king. 9 So Jehoram went there with his officers and all his chariots. The Edomites surrounded him and his chariot commanders, but he rose up and broke through by night. 10 To this day Edom has been in rebellion against Judah.
Libnah(M) revolted at the same time, because Jehoram had forsaken the Lord, the God of his ancestors. 11 He had also built high places on the hills of Judah and had caused the people of Jerusalem to prostitute themselves and had led Judah astray.
12 Jehoram received a letter from Elijah(N) the prophet, which said:
“This is what the Lord, the God of your father(O) David, says: ‘You have not followed the ways of your father Jehoshaphat or of Asa(P) king of Judah. 13 But you have followed the ways of the kings of Israel, and you have led Judah and the people of Jerusalem to prostitute themselves, just as the house of Ahab did.(Q) You have also murdered your own brothers, members of your own family, men who were better(R) than you. 14 So now the Lord is about to strike your people, your sons, your wives and everything that is yours, with a heavy blow. 15 You yourself will be very ill with a lingering disease(S) of the bowels, until the disease causes your bowels to come out.’”
16 The Lord aroused against Jehoram the hostility of the Philistines and of the Arabs(T) who lived near the Cushites. 17 They attacked Judah, invaded it and carried off all the goods found in the king’s palace, together with his sons and wives. Not a son was left to him except Ahaziah,[b] the youngest.(U)
18 After all this, the Lord afflicted Jehoram with an incurable disease of the bowels. 19 In the course of time, at the end of the second year, his bowels came out because of the disease, and he died in great pain. His people made no funeral fire in his honor,(V) as they had for his predecessors.
20 Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem eight years. He passed away, to no one’s regret, and was buried(W) in the City of David, but not in the tombs of the kings.
