21:1 ヨシャファトは先祖と共に眠りにつき、先祖と共にダビデの町に葬られた。その子ヨラムがヨシャファトに代わって王となった。
21:2 彼には兄弟があった。ヨシャファトの子のアザルヤ、エヒエル、ゼカルヤ、アザルヤ、ミカエル、シェファトヤである。彼らは皆、イスラエルの王ヨシャファトの子である。 21:3 父は彼らにユダの砦の町と共に銀や金など高価な品々を豊富に与えた。ヨラムが長子であったので、ユダの王位は彼に譲った。 21:4 ところが、ヨラムは父の国を支配下に置いて勢力を増すと、自分の兄弟のすべてと、イスラエルの高官のうち何人かを剣にかけて殺した。 21:5 ヨラムは三十二歳で王となり、八年間エルサレムで王位にあった。 21:6 彼はアハブの娘を妻としていたので、アハブの家が行ったように、イスラエルの王たちの道を歩み、主の目に悪とされることを行った。 21:7 しかし主は、ダビデと結んだ契約のゆえに、ダビデの家を滅ぼそうとはされなかった。主は、ダビデとその子孫に絶えずともし火を与えると約束されたからである。 21:8 ヨラムの治世に、エドムがユダに反旗を翻してその支配から脱し、自分たちの王を立てた。 21:9 ヨラムは将軍たちと共に全戦車隊を率いて進み、夜襲を試みて、自分を包囲するエドム兵とその戦車隊の長たちを打ち破った。 21:10 だが、エドムはユダに反旗を翻してその支配から脱し、今日に至っている。そのころ、同時にリブナがユダに反旗を翻してその支配から脱した。ヨラムが先祖の神、主を捨てたからである。 21:11 ヨラムはユダの山々に聖なる高台を造り、エルサレムの住民に淫行を行わせ、ユダの人々を堕落させた。 21:12 次のような一通の手紙が預言者エリヤから彼のもとに届いた。「あなたの父祖ダビデの神、主はこう言われる。『あなたは父ヨシャファトの道、ユダの王アサの道を歩まず、 21:13 イスラエルの諸王の道を歩み、アハブの家が淫行を行わせたように、ユダとエルサレムの住民に淫行を行わせ、またあなたの父の家の者、あなたよりも優れた兄弟たちを殺した。 21:14 それゆえ、主は大きな災いをもって、あなたの民、あなたの子たち、妻たち、すべての財産を打つ。 21:15 またあなた自身、悪質な内臓の病にかかり、それが日に日に重くなり、ついに内臓が外に出るようになる。』」 21:16 主は、クシュ人の近くに住んでいたペリシテ人とアラブ人のヨラムに対する敵意をあおられた。 21:17 彼らはユダに攻め上って突き進み、王宮で見つかったすべての財宝と、王子や王妃たちを奪い去った。そのため、ヨラムには最年少の子ヨアハズしか残されなかった。 21:18 その後、主は彼の腹を不治の病で打たれた。 21:19 来る日も来る日も苦しみ、二年ばかり後には、その病のために内臓が出るようになり、彼はひどい苦しみにあえぎながら死んだ。民は、その先祖のために火をたいたようには、彼のために火をたくことをしなかった。 21:20 彼は三十二歳で王となり、八年間エルサレムで王位にあったが、惜しまれることなく、世を去った。その遺体はダビデの町に葬られたが、王の墓には納められなかった。
21:1 And Jehoshaphat rested with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the City of David. Then Jehoram his son reigned in his place. 21:2 He had brothers, the sons of Jehoshaphat: Azariah, Jehiel, Zechariah, Azaryahu, Michael, and Shephatiah; all these were the sons of Jehoshaphat king of Israel. 21:3 Their father gave them great gifts of silver and gold and precious things, with fortified cities in Judah; but he gave the kingdom to Jehoram, because he was the firstborn. 21:4 Now when Jehoram was established over the kingdom of his father, he strengthened himself and killed all his brothers with the sword, and also others of the princes of Israel. 21:5 Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem. 21:6 And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, just as the house of Ahab had done, for he had the daughter of Ahab as a wife; and he did evil in the sight of the Lord. 21:7 Yet the Lord would not destroy the house of David, because of the covenant that He had made with David, and since He had promised to give a lamp to him and to his sons forever. 21:8 In his days the Edomites revolted against Judah's authority, and made a king over themselves. 21:9 So Jehoram went out with his officers, and all his chariots with him. And he rose by night and attacked the Edomites who had surrounded him and the captains of the chariots. 21:10 Thus Edom has been in revolt against Judah's authority to this day. At that time Libnah revolted against his rule, because he had forsaken the Lord God of his fathers. 21:11 Moreover he made high places in the mountains of Judah, and caused the inhabitants of Jerusalem to commit harlotry, and led Judah astray. 21:12 And a letter came to him from Elijah the prophet, saying, Thus says the Lord God of your father David: Because you have not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat your father, or in the ways of Asa king of Judah, 21:13 but have walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and have made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to play the harlot like the harlotry of the house of Ahab, and also have killed your brothers, those of your father's household, who were better than yourself, 21:14 behold, the Lord will strike your people with a serious affliction-your children, your wives, and all your possessions; 21:15 and you will become very sick with a disease of your intestines, until your intestines come out by reason of the sickness, day by day. 21:16 Moreover the Lord stirred up against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines and the Arabians who were near the Ethiopians. 21:17 And they came up into Judah and invaded it, and carried away all the possessions that were found in the king's house, and also his sons and his wives, so that there was not a son left to him except Jehoahaz, the youngest of his sons. 21:18 After all this the Lord struck him in his intestines with an incurable disease. 21:19 Then it happened in the course of time, after the end of two years, that his intestines came out because of his sickness; so he died in severe pain. And his people made no burning for him, like the burning for his fathers. 21:20 He was thirty-two years old when he became king. He reigned in Jerusalem eight years and, to no one's sorrow, departed. However they buried him in the City of David, but not in the tombs of the kings.
