Mambo Jehoramu we Jeda
(2 Bomambo 8:17-24)2 Jehoramu wakabe ana banung'una, bali bakololo ba Jehoshafati ibo bakabe bali bo Azariya na Jehiele na Zakhariya na Azariya na Mikaele na Shefatiya, bose ibaba bali bakololo ba Jehoshafati mambo we Juda. 3 Tate babo bakabapa zwipo zwili zwinjinji kwazo zwe golide ne siliva ne zwimwe zwe ntengo upezhugwi kushangana ne matizhilo e mizi mikulu ye Juda koga kapa Jehoramu bushe ngoti wakabe ali iye mbano. 4 Ngono Jehoramu kati asinotola itulo muna tate babe atjisima mutjili kabulaya banung'una babe bose nge thumo ne mamwe makombgwa e Iziraela.
5 Jehoramu wakatangisa busa ana makole ali makumi matatu ana mabili (32), ngono wakabusa mu Jerusalema makole ali zhanakadzi. 6 Jehoramu wakatshambabo pakatshamba bomambo be Iziraela be nsha wa Ahabu, ngoti wakabe akalobola nkololokadzi wa Ahabu. Jehoramu kathama mbipo mbeli kwa Yahwe. 7 Nenguba kwakajalo Yahwe bakabe basingade kulobesa ludzi gwa Dafite, ngekwe tjidumano tjabakathama na Dafite, se bakabe ban'gadzabgwe kuti zwizekugwana zwizwe zowodwilila zwibusa nge kusingapele kose. 8 Mu misi ye mbuso wa Jehoramu, Baedomu bakapandukila Juda, bakazwibigila mambo wabo. 9 Ipapo Jehoramu kapinda ne balauli babe ne koloyi dzidze dzose dze ngwa bakamuka busiku bakanginilila Baedomu bakabe bakomba Jehoramu ne balauli babe be koloyi dze ngwa bakababulaya. 10 Ndizo tjinga kudwa ipapo Baedomu bakapandukila mbuso we Juda kuswikila nasi. Mu misi iyeyo zwayo Libina na iyobo ikapanduka ngobe wakabe afupatila Yahwe Ndzimu wa bobatategulu babe. 11 Pezhugwi kwa ipapo wakabaka magalo anothigamigwa midzimu mu shango ye matombo ye Juda ngono katungamilila bathu be Jerusalema mukusagalikabgwe ngono kathama kuti Juda ilashike.
12 Ngono kukazha lukwalo kuna Jehoramu gudwa kuna Elija nlebesambeli guti, “Koleba Yahwe Ndzimu wa Dafite tate babo bakati, ‘Ngobe auzotobela zila dza Jehoshafati tate babo kene dza Asa mambo we Juda. 13 Koga wakatobela zila dza bomambo be Iziraela kakale wakatungamilila bathu be Juda ne be Jerusalema mu kusagalikabgwe koga se ng'umba ya Ahabu yakatungamilila Iziraela mu kusagalikabgwe kakale wakabulaya banung'una babo, bana be nsha wa tate babo ibo bakabe beyita mukuli. 14 Ndizo ngwenu Yahwe babe pejo ne kukuloba bathu babo ne bana babo ne bakadzi babo ne thundu iyo yose, 15 ngono iwe unowogwala kwakabangalala ugwadziwa nge bugwele gwe mabula kudza bugwele igogu guthama kuti mabula awo abhudile kuzhe kuko, bugwele gugo gowokula zhuba ne zhuba.’ ”
16 Ngono Yahwe bakathama saikoku bakashongodza Jehoramu mu Bafilisitiya ne Baarabu bakabe begala pejo ne Baitopiya, 17 ngono bakamukila Juda bakanoinginilila bakatola thundu dzabo dzose dzabakawana dze ng'umba ya mambo bakatapa bakadzi ba mambo ne bakololo ba mambo. Akuna ndodwa ne nkololo ng'ompela wa mambo wakasala kuzhe kwa Jehoahazi wakabe ali kologwe.
18 Ngono shule kwe zwithu izwezwi zose Yahwe bakaloba Jehoramu ngono kagwala bugwele gusingalapike gwe mabula. 19 Ngono kwakati mazhuba eyenda kwe makole mabili asinopinda mabula awe katangisa kubhudila kuzhe eyikhwa ne bugwele ngono kafa ali muzogwadza zwikulu. Ngono bathu babe bakasipise bhuba le moto mu kunteta sekwa bakathamila botate babe.
20 Jehoramu wakabe ali makole ali makumi matatu ana mabili (32) aegala tjigalo tje bomambo ngono wakabusa makole ali zhanakadzi mu Jerusalema kafa kukabe kusina unon'hwila zogwadza. Bakanombiganyila ku nzi nkulu wa Dafite koga kusi ku zwikumbu zwa bomambo.
1 Now Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David. And Jehoram his son reigned in his stead. 2 And he had brethren the sons of Jehoshaphat, Azariah, and Jehiel, and Zechariah, and Azariah, and Michael, and Shephatiah: all these were the sons of Jehoshaphat king of Israel. 3 And their father gave them great gifts of silver, and of gold, and of precious things, with fenced cities in Judah: but the kingdom gave he to Jehoram; because he was the firstborn. 4 Now when Jehoram was risen up to the kingdom of his father, he strengthened himself, and slew all his brethren with the sword, and divers also of the princes of Israel.
5 ¶ Jehoram was thirty and two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem. 6 And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, like as did the house of Ahab: for he had the daughter of Ahab to wife: and he wrought that which was evil in the eyes of the LORD. 7 Howbeit the LORD would not destroy the house of David, because of the covenant that he had made with David, and as he promised to give a light to him and to his sons for ever.
8 ¶ In his days the Edomites revolted from under the dominion of Judah, and made themselves a king. 9 Then Jehoram went forth with his princes, and all his chariots with him: and he rose up by night, and smote the Edomites which compassed him in, and the captains of the chariots. 10 So the Edomites revolted from under the hand of Judah unto this day. The same time also did Libnah revolt from under his hand; because he had forsaken the LORD God of his fathers. 11 Moreover he made high places in the mountains of Judah, and caused the inhabitants of Jerusalem to commit fornication, and compelled Judah thereto .
12 ¶ And there came a writing to him from Elijah the prophet, saying, Thus saith the LORD God of David thy father, Because thou hast not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat thy father, nor in the ways of Asa king of Judah, 13 But hast walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and hast made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to go a whoring, like to the whoredoms of the house of Ahab, and also hast slain thy brethren of thy father’s house, which were better than thyself: 14 Behold, with a great plague will the LORD smite thy people, and thy children, and thy wives, and all thy goods: 15 And thou shalt have great sickness by disease of thy bowels, until thy bowels fall out by reason of the sickness day by day.
16 ¶ Moreover the LORD stirred up against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines, and of the Arabians, that were near the Ethiopians: 17 And they came up into Judah, and brake into it, and carried away all the substance that was found in the king’s house, and his sons also, and his wives; so that there was never a son left him, save Jehoahaz, the youngest of his sons.
18 ¶ And after all this the LORD smote him in his bowels with an incurable disease. 19 And it came to pass, that in process of time, after the end of two years, his bowels fell out by reason of his sickness: so he died of sore diseases. And his people made no burning for him, like the burning of his fathers. 20 Thirty and two years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem eight years, and departed without being desired. Howbeit they buried him in the city of David, but not in the sepulchres of the kings.
