| 1 ܘܫܟܒ ܝܗܘܫܦܛ ܥܡ ܐܒܗ̈ܬܗ ܘܐܬܩܒܪ ܠܘܬ ܐܒܗ̈ܬܗ ܒܩܪܝܬܐ ܕܕܘܝܕ ܘܩܡ ܒܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܝܗܘܪܡ ܒܪܗ ܒܬܪܗ | 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 ܘܠܗ ܐܝܬ ܗܘܘ ܐܚ̈ܐ ܒܢ̈ܝ ܝܗܘܫܦܛ ܘܗܠܝܢ ܫܡܗ̈ܝܗܘܢ ܥܙܪܝܐ ܢܚܘܐܝܠ ܙܟܪܝܐ ܥܙܪܝܐ ܡܠܟܐܝܠ ܫܒܛܝܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܒܢܘ̈ܗܝ ܕܝܗܘܫܦܛ ܡܠܟܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܐ | 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 ܘܝܗܒ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܒܘܗܘܢ ܡܘܗ̈ܒܬܐ ܣܓܝ ܟܣܦܐ ܘܕܗܒܐ ܘܡܘܗ̈ܒܬܐ ܣܓܝܐ̈ܬܐ ܘܩܘܪ̈ܝܐ ܥܫܝܢ̈ܬܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܐ ܘܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܐܬܝܗܒܬ ܠܝܗܘܪܡ ܡܛܠ ܕܗܘܝܘ ܗܘܐ ܒܪܗ ܩܫܝܫܐ | 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 ܘܩܡ ܝܗܘܪܡ ܥܠ ܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܕܐܒܘܗܝ ܘܐܬܓܒܪ ܘܩܛܠ ܠܟܠܗܘܢ ܐܚܘ̈ܗܝ ܒܩܪܒܐ ܘܐܦ ܡܢ ܩܫܝ̈ܫܐ ܕܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܩܛܠ | 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 ܒܪ ܬܠܬܝܢ ܗܘܐ ܘܬܪܬܝܢ ܫܢ̈ܝܢ ܟܕ ܩܡ ܒܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܘܬܡܢܐ ܫܢ̈ܝܢ ܐܡܠܟ ܒܐܘܪܫܠܡ | 5 Jehoram was thirty and two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem. |
| 6 ܘܗܠܟ ܒܐܘܪ̈ܚܬܐ ܕܡܠܟ̈ܐ ܕܝܣܪܝܠ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܥܒܕܘ ܕܒܝܬ ܐܚܒ ܡܛܠ ܕܚܬܗ ܕܐܚܒ ܗܘܬ ܠܗ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܘܥܒܕ ܕܒܝ̣ܫ ܩܕܡ ܡܪܝܐ | 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 ܘܠܐ ܨܒܐ ܡܪܝܐ ܠܡܚܒܠܘ ܒܝܬܗ ܕܕܘܝܕ ܡܛܠ ܡܘܡܬܐ ܕܝܡܐ ܠܕܘܝܕ ܠܡܬܠ ܠܗ ܫܪܓܐ ܢܗܝܪܐ ܘܠܒܢܘ̈ܗܝ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܝܘܡ̈ܬܐ | 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 ܒܝܘܡ̈ܬܗ ܡܪܕܘ ܐܕܘܡ̈ܝܐ ܡܢ ܬܚܝܬ ܐܝܕܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܐ ܘܐܩܝܡܘ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܡܠܟܐ | 8 In his days the Edomites revolted from under the dominion of Judah, and made themselves a king. |
| 9 ܘܥܒܪ ܝܗܘܪܡ ܥܡ ܪ̈ܘܪܒܢܘܗܝ ܘܟܠܗܘܢ ܙܘܓ̈ܘܗܝ ܥܡܗ ܘܗܘܐ ܕܟܕ ܩܡ ܒܠܠܝܐ ܚܪܒܘ ܠܐܕܘ̈ܡܝܐ ܘܐܬܘ ܠܘܬܗ ܪ̈ܘܪܒܢܐ ܕܙܘܓ̈ܐ | 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 ܘܡܪܕܘ ܐܕܘܡ̈ܝܐ ܡܢ ܬܚܝܬ ܐܝܕܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܝܘܡܢܐ ܗܝܕܝܢ ܡܪܕܘ ܐܕܘܡ̈ܝܐ ܕܝܬ̇ܒܝܢ ܒܠܒܢܐ ܒܙܒܢܐ ܗ̇ܘ ܡܢ ܬܚܝܬ ܐܝܕܗ ܡܛܠ ܕܫܒܩ ܠܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܐܒܗ̈ܬܗ | 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 ܘܐܦ ܗܘ ܥܒܕ ܥܠܘ̈ܬܐ ܒܛܘܪܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܐ ܘܚܡܪܐ ܐܫܩܝ ܠܢܙܝܪ̈ܝܗ̇ ܕܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܘܒܕܪ ܠܕܒܝܬ ܝܗܘܕܐ | 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 ܘܐܝܬܝ ܠܘܬܗ ܡܢ ܦܬܓ̈ܡܐ ܕܐܠܝܐ ܢܒܝܐ ܕܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܗܟܢܐ ܐܡ̇ܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܗ ܕܕܘܝܕ ܐܒܘܟ ܚܠܦ ܕܠܐ ܗܠܟܬ ܒܐܘܪ̈ܚܬܗ ܕܝܗܘܫܦܛ ܐܒܘܟ ܘܒܐܘܪ̈ܚܬܗ ܕܐܣܐ ܡܠܟܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܐ | 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 ܘܗܠܟܬ ܠܟ ܒܐܘܪ̈ܚܬܐ ܕܡ̈ܠܟܐ ܕܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܘܐܛܥܝܬ ܠܝܗܘܕܐ ܘܠܥܡܘܪ̈ܝܗ̇ ܕܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܒܙܢܝܘܬܐ ܕܒܝܬ ܐܚܒ ܘܐܦ ܠܐܚܝ̈ܟ ܒܢ̈ܝ ܐܒܘܟ ܕܛܒܝܢ ܡܢܟ ܩܛܠܬ | 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 ܗܐ ܡܪܝܐ ܡܚ̇ܐ ܠܟ ܡܚܘܬܐ ܪܒܬܐ ܘܠܥܡܟ ܘܠܒܢ̈ܝܟ ܘܠܢܫ̈ܝܟ ܘܠܟܠܗܘܢ ܢܟܣܝ̈ܟ | 14 Behold, with a great plague will the LORD smite thy people, and thy children, and thy wives, and all thy goods: |
| 15 ܘܐܢܬ ܒܟܘܪܗܢܐ ܣܓܝܐܐ ܬܡܘܬ ܘܒܬܫܢܝܩܐ ܪܒܐ ܬܐܒܕ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܐܝܟܐ ܕܢܦܩܘܢ ܡܥ̈ܝܟ ܡܢ ܟܘܪܗܢܟ ܘܫܢ̈ܝܢ ܣܓܝܐ̈ܢ ܒܬܫܢܝܩܐ ܬܦܠ | 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 ܘܢܥܝܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܥܠ ܝܘܪܡ ܪܘܚܐ ܕܦܠܫ̈ܬܝܐ ܘܕܥܪ̈ܒܝܐ ܕܫܪܝܢ ܒܝܬ ܗܢܕܘ̈ܝܐ | 16 Moreover the LORD stirred up against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines, and of the Arabians, that were near the Ethiopians: |
| 17 ܘܢܣܩܘܢ ܥܠ ܝܗܘܕܐ ܘܢܚܪܒܘܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܢܗܦܟܘܢ ܟܘܠܗ̇ ܫܒܝܬܐ ܕܐܫܬܟܚܬ ܠܒܝܬ ܡܠܟܐ ܘܐܦ ܒܢܘ̈ܗܝ ܘܢܫܘ̈ܗܝ ܘܠܐ ܢܫܬܒܩ ܠܗ ܒܪܐ ܕܟܪܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܢ ܐܚܙܝܐ ܒܪܗ ܙܥܘܪܐ | 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 ܡܢ ܒܬܪ ܟܘܠܗܝܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܡܚܘܬܐ ܬܗܘܐ ܒܡܥ̈ܘܗܝ ܘܒܟܘܪܗܢܐ ܣܓܝܐܐ ܢܡܘܬ ܘܐܣܝܘܬܐ ܠܐ ܬܗܘܐ ܠܗ | 18 And after all this the LORD smote him in his bowels with an incurable disease. |
| 19 ܘܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܒܬܪ ܝܘ̈ܡܬܐ ܣܓ̈ܝܐܐ ܟܕ ܫܠܡܬ ܡܠܬܗ ܕܢܒܝܐ ܠܫܢ̈ܝܢ ܬܪ̈ܬܝܢ ܢܦܩܘ ܡܥܘ̈ܗܝ ܡܢ ܟܘܪܗܢܗ ܘܡܝܬ ܒܟܘܪܗܢܐ ܒܝ̣ܫܐ ܘܠܐ ܥܒܕܘ ܠܗ ܐܝܩܪܐ ܥܡܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܥܒܕܘ ܠܐܒܗ̈ܬܗ | 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 ܒܪ ܬܠܬܝܢ ܗܘܐ ܘܬܪܬܝܢ ܫܢ̈ܝܢ ܟܕ ܩܡ ܒܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܘܬܡܢܐ ܫܢ̈ܝܢ ܐܡܠܟ ܒܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܘܐܙܠ ܕܠܐ ܪܓܬܐ ܘܐܬܩܒܪ ܒܩܪܝܬܗ ܕܕܘܝܕ ܐܒܘܗܝ ܘܠܐ ܒܩܒܘܪܬܐ ܕܡܠܟ̈ܐ | 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. |
