1 Cuando Josafat murió, lo sepultaron en el cementerio de los reyes en Jerusalén, en la ciudad de David, y su hijo Jorán ocupó el trono de Judá.
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 Sus hermanos, los demás hijos de Josafat, eran Azarías, Jehiel, Zacarías, Azarías, Micael y Sefatías.
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 valiosos regalos en dinero y joyas, y la propiedad de algunas ciudades fortificadas de Judá. Sin embargo, le dio el reinado a Jorán, porque era el mayor. Pero cuando Jorán se consolidó en el trono, hizo matar a todos sus hermanos y a varios jefes de Israel.
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 Not in this translation
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 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 Pero fue tan malo como los reyes de Israel, ya que hizo lo que ofende al Señor. Fue tan impío como Acab, y hasta se casó con una de las hijas de este.
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 quería acabar con la dinastía de David, porque había hecho un pacto con él, y le había prometido que siempre uno de sus descendientes se sentaría sobre el trono de Judá.
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 aquel tiempo, los edomitas se rebelaron contra Judá y nombraron un rey.
8 In his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and made a king over themselves.
9 Jorán marchó de noche contra ellos, con todos sus jefes y con todos sus carros de combate, y logró derrotar a los edomitas que los tenían rodeados.
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 Pero hasta este día Edom ha logrado mantenerse independiente de Judá. Por ese mismo tiempo, la ciudad de Libná también se rebeló contra Judá. Todo, porque Jorán se había apartado del Señor, Dios de sus padres.
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 Como si esto fuera poco, Jorán construyó santuarios para los ídolos en las montañas de Judá, e hizo que el pueblo de Jerusalén adorara ídolos.
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 Entonces el profeta Elías le escribió esta carta: «El Señor, Dios de tu antepasado David, dice que por cuanto no has andado en los buenos caminos de tu padre Josafat, ni en los buenos pasos del rey Asá,
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 sino que has sido tan malvado como los reyes de Israel, y al igual que Acab, has hecho que el pueblo de Jerusalén y Judá adore ídolos; y por cuanto has dado muerte a tus hermanos 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 el Señor destruirá tu nación con una gran plaga: Tú, tus hijos, tus esposas y todo lo que tienes será destruido.
14 behold, Yahweh will strike your people with a great plague, including your children, your wives, and all your possessions;
15 Tú mismo sufrirás el ataque de una enfermedad intestinal y se te pudrirán las entrañas».
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 Entonces el Señor hizo que los filisteos y los árabes, que vivían junto a los etíopes, atacaran a Jorán.
16 Yahweh stirred up against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines and of the Arabians who are beside the Ethiopians;
17 Marcharon contra Judá, cruzaron la frontera; y se llevaron todo lo que había de valor en el palacio del rey, incluyendo a sus hijos y sus esposas; solamente su hijo menor, Joacaz, escapó.
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 Fue después de esto que el Señor atacó a Jorán con una enfermedad intestinal incurable.
18 After all this Yahweh struck him in his bowels with an incurable disease.
19 Con el tiempo, al cabo de dos años, sus intestinos se le salieron, y murió en medio de terribles sufrimientos (Cuando se le sepultó se omitieron las pompas y ceremonias acostumbradas).
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 en Jerusalén ocho años. Murió sin que nadie lo llorara. Fue sepultado en Jerusalén, en la ciudad de David, pero no en los sepulcros reales.
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.
