1 Josafat murió y fue sepultado en la Ciudad de David. Su hijo Joram reinó en su lugar.
1 Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in David’s city; and Jehoram his son reigned in his place.
2 Joram tenía estos hermanos, hijos de Josafat: Azarías, Jehiel, Zacarías, Azarías, Micael y Sefatías. Todos eran hijos de Josafat, rey de Israel.
2 He had brothers, the sons of Jehoshaphat: Azariah, Jehiel, Zechariah, Azariah, Michael, and Shephatiah. All these were the sons of Jehoshaphat king of Israel.
3 Su padre les había dado mucha plata, oro y objetos de valor, además de ciudades fortificadas en Judá. Pero le dio el reino a Joram porque era el hijo mayor.
3 Their 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.
4 Cuando Joram asumió el reino de su padre y consolidó su poder, mató a espada a todos sus hermanos y a algunos de los príncipes de Israel.
4 Now 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.
5 Joram tenía treinta y dos años cuando comenzó a reinar y reinó ocho años en Jerusalén.
5 Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.
6 Siguió el ejemplo de los reyes de Israel y de la familia de Acab, porque se había casado con una hija de Acab. Hizo lo malo ante el Señor.
6 He 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 Yahweh’s sight.
7 Sin embargo, el Señor no quiso destruir a la familia de David, por el pacto que había hecho con él. Le había prometido mantener una luz para él y sus descendientes para siempre.
7 However Yahweh 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.
8 En su tiempo Edom se rebeló contra el dominio de Judá y nombró su propio rey.
8 In his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and made a king over themselves.
9 Joram salió con sus comandantes y todos sus carros de guerra. De noche se levantó y atacó a los edomitas que lo rodeaban y a los comandantes de los carros.
9 Then 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.
10 Edom se independizó de Judá y así sigue hasta hoy. En ese mismo tiempo Libna también se rebeló contra el dominio de Joram, porque él había abandonado al Señor, Dios de sus antepasados.
10 So 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 Yahweh, the God of his fathers.
11 Además, construyó santuarios en los lugares altos de las montañas de Judá. Enseñó a los habitantes de Jerusalén a seguir a dioses falsos y desvió a Judá del buen camino.
11 Moreover he made high places in the mountains of Judah, and made the inhabitants of Jerusalem play the prostitute, and led Judah astray.
12 Joram recibió una carta del profeta Elías que decía: «Así dice el Señor, Dios de tu antepasado David: No has seguido el ejemplo de tu padre Josafat ni el de Asa, rey de Judá.
12 A letter came to him from Elijah the prophet, saying, “Yahweh, 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,
13 Has seguido el ejemplo de los reyes de Israel y has hecho que Judá y los habitantes de Jerusalén sigan a dioses falsos, como lo hizo la familia de Acab. Además, has matado a tus hermanos, los hijos de tu padre, que eran mejores que tú.
13 but 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,
14 Por eso el Señor enviará una gran calamidad sobre tu pueblo, tus hijos, tus esposas y todos tus bienes.
14 behold, Yahweh will strike your people with a great plague, including your children, your wives, and all your possessions;
15 Tú sufrirás una enfermedad dolorosa en el vientre. La enfermedad empeorará día tras día, hasta que se te salgan los intestinos».
15 and you will have great sickness with a disease of your bowels, until your bowels fall out by reason of the sickness, day by day.’”
16 El Señor impulsó a los filisteos y a los árabes que vivían cerca de Etiopía a luchar contra Joram.
16 Yahweh stirred up against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines and of the Arabians who are beside the Ethiopians;
17 Invadieron Judá, se abrieron paso y se llevaron todos los bienes del palacio real, junto con sus hijos y sus esposas. Solo le quedó Joacaz, su hijo menor.
17 and 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.
18 Después de todo esto, el Señor le envió una enfermedad incurable en el vientre.
18 After all this Yahweh struck him in his bowels with an incurable disease.
19 Al cabo de dos años se le salieron los intestinos a causa de la enfermedad, y murió con grandes dolores. Su pueblo no encendió una hoguera en su honor como lo había hecho por sus antepasados.
19 In 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.
20 Tenía treinta y dos años cuando comenzó a reinar y reinó ocho años en Jerusalén. Nadie lamentó su muerte. Lo sepultaron en la Ciudad de David, pero no en las tumbas de los reyes.
20 He 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.
