2 Crónicas 21
1Josafat se durmió con sus padres, y fue sepultado con sus padres en la ciudad de David. En su lugar reinó su hijo Joram, Then Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and he was buried with them in the City of David. And his son, Jehoram, reigned in his place.2cuyos hermanos, hijos de Josafat, eran Azarías, Jehiel, Zacarías, Azarías, Micael y Safatías. Todos estos eran hijos de Josafat, rey de Israel. And he had brothers, sons of Jehoshaphat: Azariah, and Jehiel, and Zechariah, and Azariah, and Michael, and Shephatiah. All these were sons of Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah.3Su padre les había dado grandes donaciones de plata y de oro y de objetos preciosos, con ciudades fuertes en Judá; entregando, empero, el reino a Joram, porque era el primogénito. And their father gave to them many gifts of silver, and gold, and valuables, with very fortified cities in Judah. But the kingdom he handed on to Jehoram, because he was the firstborn.4Subió, pues, Joram al trono de su padre; mas cuando se hubo consolidado, pasó a cuchillo a todos sus hermanos y a algunos de los príncipes de Israel. Therefore, Jehoram rose up over the kingdom of his father. And when he had established himself, he killed with the sword all his brothers, and certain ones from the leaders of Israel.5Treinta y dos años tenía Joram cuando empezó a reinar, y reinó ocho años en Jerusalén. Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he had begun to reign. And he reigned for eight years in Jerusalem.6Anduvo por el camino de los reyes de Israel, según hacía la casa de Acab; pues tenía por mujer a una hija de Acab, e hizo lo que era malo a los ojos de Yahvé. And he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, just as the house of Ahab had done. For his wife was a daughter of Ahab, and he did evil in the sight of the Lord.7Mas Yahvé no quiso destruir la casa de David, a causa de la alianza que había hecho con David, y por haberle prometido que le daría siempre una lámpara, a él y a sus hijos. But the Lord was not willing to destroy the house of David, because of the covenant that he had formed with him, and because he had promised that he would provide a lamp to him, and to his sons, for all time.8En sus días se rebeló Edom contra el cetro de Judá, y se dio un rey. In those days, Edom rebelled, so as not to be subject to Judah, and they appointed for themselves a king.9Entonces se puso en marcha Joram con sus jefes, y con él todos sus carros. Y levantándose de noche derrotó a los idumeos que le tenían cercado a él y a los capitanes de sus carros. And when Jehoram had gone across with his leaders, and all the horsemen who were with him, he arose in the night, and struck the Edomites (who had surrounded him), and all the commanders of his horsemen.10Con todo, Edom logró independizarse de Judá hasta hoy día. Entonces, a ese mismo tiempo Lobná se rebeló contra su dominio, porque había abandonado a Yahvé, el Dios de sus padres. Even so, Edom rebelled, so as not to be under the authority of Judah, even to this day. Also at that time, Libnah withdrew, so as not to be under his hand. For he had forsaken the Lord, the God of his fathers.11Construyó asimismo lugares altos en las montañas de Judá, hizo idolatrar a los habitantes de Jerusalén e indujo al pecado a Judá. Moreover, he also constructed high places in the cities of Judah. And he caused the inhabitants of Jerusalem to fornicate, and Judah to prevaricate.12Entonces le llegó una carta del profeta Elías, que decía: “Así dice Yahvé, el Dios de tu padre David. Por cuanto no has seguido los caminos de tu padre Josafat, ni los caminos de Asá, rey de Judá, Then letters were conveyed to him from the prophet Elijah, in which it was written: “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, the king of Judah,13sino que has andado por el camino de los reyes de Israel, y has hecho idolatrar a Judá, y a los habitantes de Jerusalén, como lo hace la casa de Acab, y porque has dado muerte a tus hermanos, la casa de tu padre, que eran mejores que tú; but instead you have advanced along the paths of the kings of Israel, and you have caused Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to fornicate, imitating the fornication of the house of Ahab, and moreover, you have killed your brothers, the house of your father, who are better than you:14he aquí que Yahvé castigará con terrible azote a tu pueblo, tus hijos, tus mujeres y toda tu hacienda; behold, the Lord will strike you with a great plague, with all your people, and your sons and wives, and all your substance.15y a ti te (castigará) con graves enfermedades y con una dolencia de entrañas, hasta que tus entrañas salgan fuera a causa de la enfermedad, día tras día.” And you shall be sickened by a very grievous disease of your bowels, until your inner organs depart, little by little, each day.”16Incitó Yahvé contra Joram el espíritu de los filisteos y de los árabes, vecinos de los etíopes, Therefore, the Lord stirred up, against Jehoram, the spirit of the Philistines, and of the Arabians, who are along the borders of the Ethiopians.17los cuales subiendo contra Judá, y penetrando allí se llevaron todas las riquezas que hallaron en la casa del rey, y también a sus hijos y a sus mujeres, de manera que no le quedó otro hijo que Joacaz, su hijo menor. And they ascended into the land of Judah. And they laid waste to it. And they despoiled all the substance that was found in the house of the king, including even his sons and wives. Neither did there remain for him any son, except Jehoahaz, who was the youngest born.18Después de todo esto Yahvé lo hirió con una enfermedad incurable de vientre. And in addition to all these things, the Lord struck him with an incurable disease of the bowels.19Y después de cierto tiempo, al fin del año segundo, se le salieron las entrañas a causa de su enfermedad, y murió entre terribles dolores. El pueblo no hizo quema para él, como lo había hecho para sus padres. And as day followed after day, and the space of time turned, the course of two years was completed. And after having been wasted by a long consumption, so much so that even his inner organs were discharged, the disease ended along with his life. And so he died of a very grievous illness. And the people did not make a funeral for him, according to the custom of burning, as they had done for his ancestors.20Tenía treinta y dos años cuando empezó a reinar, y reinó en Jerusalén ocho años. Se fue sin que nadie le extrañase; y le sepultaron en la ciudad de David, pero no en los sepulcros de los reyes. He was thirty-two years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for eight years in Jerusalem. And he did not walk uprightly. And they buried him in the City of David, yet truly, not in the sepulcher of the kings.
