1 J ehoshaphat slept with his fathers and was buried with in the City of David. Jehoram his son reigned in his stead.

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 H e had brothers: Azariah, Jehiel, Zechariah, Azariah, Michael, and Shephatiah, all the sons of Jehoshaphat king of Israel.

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 T heir father gave them great gifts of silver, gold, and precious things, together with fortified cities in Judah, but the kingdom he gave to Jehoram, the firstborn.

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 W hen Jehoram had ascended to the kingship of his father, he strengthened himself and slew all his brethren with the sword and also some of Israel’s princes.

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 J ehoram at thirty-two years of age began his eight-year reign in Jerusalem.

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 H e walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, as did the house of Ahab, for he married the daughter of Ahab and did what was evil in the eyes of the Lord.

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 B ut the Lord would not destroy the house of David, because He had made a covenant with David and promised to give a light to him and to his sons forever.

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 n Jehoram’s days, the Edomites revolted from the rule of Judah and set up for themselves a king.

I ona ra ka maunu a Eroma i raro i te ringa o Hura, a whakakingitia ake e ratou he kingi mo ratou.

9 T hen Jehoram passed over with his captains and all his chariots, and rose up by night and smote the Edomites who had surrounded him and his chariot captains.

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 S o Edom revolted from the rule of Judah to this day. Then Libnah also revolted from Jehoram’s rule, because he had forsaken the Lord, the God of his fathers.

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 M oreover, he made idolatrous high places in the hill country of Judah and debauched spiritually the inhabitants of Jerusalem and led Judah astray.

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 A nd there came a letter to Jehoram from Elijah the prophet, saying, Thus says the Lord, 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,

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 B ut have walked in the ways of Israel’s kings, and made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem play the harlot like the harlotry of Ahab’s house, and also have slain your brothers of your father’s house, who were better than you,

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 B ehold, the Lord will smite your people, and your children, your wives, and all your possessions with a great plague.

Nana, he nui te whiu e whiua ai e Ihowa tou iwi, au tamariki, au wahine, me ou rawa katoa:

15 A nd you yourself shall have a severe illness because of an intestinal disease, until your bowels fall out because of the sickness, day after day.

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 A nd the Lord stirred up against Jehoram the anger of the Philistines and of the Arabs who were near the Ethiopians.

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 T hey came against Judah, invaded it, and carried away all the possessions found in and around the king’s house, together with his sons and his wives; so there was not a son left to him except Jehoahaz, the youngest.

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 A nd after all this, the Lord smote with an incurable intestinal disease.

I muri i tenei katoa ka patua e Ihowa ona whekau; he mate kihai i taea te rongoa.

19 I n process of time, after two years, his bowels fell out because of his disease. So he died in severe distress. And his people made no funeral fire to honor him, like the fires for his fathers.

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 T hirty-two years old was Jehoram when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem eight years, and departed without being wanted. Yet they buried him in the City of David, but not in the tombs of the kings.

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.
