21：1 約沙法與他列祖同睡，葬在大衛(wèi)城他列祖的墳地里。他兒子約蘭接續(xù)他作王。

　　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.

　　21：2 約蘭有幾個(gè)兄弟，就是約沙法的兒子亞撒利雅，耶歇，撒迦利雅，亞撒利雅，米迦勒，示法提雅。這都是猶大王約沙法的兒子。

　　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.

　　21：3 他們的父親將許多金銀，財(cái)寶，和猶大地的堅(jiān)固城賜給他們。但將國賜給約蘭，因?yàn)樗情L子。

　　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.

　　21：4 約蘭興起坐他父的位，奮勇自強(qiáng)，就用刀殺了他的眾兄弟和以色列的幾個(gè)首領(lǐng)。

　　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.

　　21：5 約蘭登基的時(shí)候年三十二歲，在耶路撒冷作王八年。

　　Jehoram was thirty and two years old when he began to reign， and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.

　　21：6 他行以色列諸王的道，與亞哈家一樣。因他娶了亞哈的女兒為妻，行耶和華眼中看為惡的事。

　　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.

　　21：7 耶和華卻因自己與大衛(wèi)所立的約，不肯滅大衛(wèi)的家，照他所應(yīng)許的，永遠(yuǎn)賜燈光與大衛(wèi)和他的子孫。

　　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.

　　21：8 約蘭年間，以東人背叛猶大，脫離他的權(quán)下，自己立王。

　　In his days the Edomites revolted from under the dominion of Judah， and made themselves a king.

　　21：9 約蘭就率領(lǐng)軍長和所有的戰(zhàn)車，夜間起來，攻擊圍困他的以東人和車兵長。

　　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.

　　21：10 這樣，以東人背叛猶大，脫離他的權(quán)下，直到今日。那時(shí)，立拿人也背叛了，因?yàn)榧s蘭離棄耶和華他列祖的神。

　　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.

　　21：11 他又在猶大諸山建筑邱壇，使耶路撒冷的居民行邪淫，誘惑猶大人。

　　Moreover he made high places in the mountains of Judah， and caused the inhabitants of Jerusalem to commit fornication， and compelled Judah thereto.

　　21：12 先知以利亞達(dá)信與約蘭說，耶和華你祖大衛(wèi)的神如此說，因?yàn)槟悴恍心愀讣s沙法和猶大王亞撒的道，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，

　　21：13 乃行以色列諸王的道，使猶大人和耶路撒冷的居民行邪淫，像亞哈家一樣，又殺了你父家比你好的諸兄弟。

　　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：

　　21：14 故此，耶和華降大災(zāi)與你的百姓和你的妻子，兒女，并你一切所有的。

　　Behold， with a great plague will the LORD smite thy people， and thy children， and thy wives， and all thy goods：

　　21：15 你的腸子必患病，日加沉重，以致你的腸子墜落下來。

　　And thou shalt have great sickness by disease of thy bowels， until thy bowels fall out by reason of the sickness day by day.

　　21：16 以后，耶和華激動(dòng)非利士人和靠近古實(shí)的阿拉伯人來攻擊約蘭。

　　Moreover the LORD stirred up against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines， and of the Arabians， that were near the Ethiopians：

　　21：17 他們上來攻擊猶大，侵入境內(nèi)，擄掠了王宮里所有的財(cái)貨和他的妻子，兒女，除了他小兒子約哈斯（又名亞哈謝）之外，沒有留下一個(gè)兒子。

　　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.

　　21：18 這些事以后，耶和華使約蘭的腸子患不能醫(yī)治的病。

　　And after all this the LORD smote him in his bowels with an incurable disease.

　　21：19 他患此病纏綿日久，過了二年，腸子墜落下來，病重而死。他的民沒有為他燒什么物件，像從前為他列祖所燒的一樣。

　　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.

　　21：20 約蘭登基的時(shí)候年三十二歲，在耶路撒冷作王八年。他去世無人思慕，眾人葬他在大衛(wèi)城，只是不在列王的墳?zāi)估铩?/p>

　　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.
