1 Amogaluwane, balofede dunu Ilaisia da ayeligi balofede dunu afae wele guda: le, ema amane sia: i, “Di da momagele, La: imode moilai bai bagade, Gilia: de soge ganodini, amoga masa. Amo osoboga hamoi ofodo olife susuligi di nabai, amo gaguli masa.
Meanwhile, the prophet Elisha summoned one of the other prophets. He said to him, “Get ready [IDM] and go to Ramoth [city] in [the] Gilead [region]. Take this jar of [olive] oil with you.
2 Di da amoga doaga: sea, Yihiu (Yihosiafa: de egefe amola Nimisa: i ea aowa) hogoma. Dunu ili asi amo esafulia, efa oule, enoga hame heda: su sesei amoga oule heda: ma.
When you arrive there, search for a man named Jehu, the son of Jehoshaphat and grandson of Nimshi. Go with him into a room away from his companions,
3 Amogai, di da olife susuligi, Yihiu ea dialuma da: iya sogagala: le, amane sia: ma, ‘Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, Na da di Na fi Isala: ili ilia hina bagade ilegesa.’ Amasea, amo sogebi hedolowane fisili masa.”
and pour [some of] this oil on his head. Then say to him, ‘Yahweh declares that he is appointing you to be the king of Israel.’ Then open the door and run away as quickly as you can.”
4 Amaiba: le, ayeligi balofede dunu da La: imode moilai bai bagadega asi.
So the young prophet went to Ramoth.
5 Amogai, e da dadi gagui wa: i ouligisu dunu, ilia da sia: sia: sa: imusa: gilisibi ba: i. E amane sia: i, “Hina! Na da dima sia: sia: mu gala!” Yihiu da amane adole ba: i, “Di da niniga afae nowama sia: mu gala?” E bu adole i, “Hina! Dimafa sia: mu gala.”
When he arrived, he saw that the commanders of the army were having a conference. He [looked at Jehu and] said, “Sir, I have a message for [one of] you.” Jehu replied, “Which one of us is the message for?” The young prophet replied, “It is for you, commander/sir.”
6 Amalalu, ele galu diasu ganodini golili sa: ili, amola ayeligi balofede dunu da Yihiu ea dialuma da: iya olife susuligi sogagala: le, ema amane sia: i, “Isala: ili fi ilia Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, ‘Na da di Na fi Isala: ili ilia hina bagade ilegesa.
So Jehu got up and went with the young prophet into a house. There the young prophet poured some [olive] oil on Jehu’s head and said to him, “Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis [worship], declares this: ‘I am appointing you to be the king of my Israeli people.
7 Di da dia hina (Isala: ili hina bagade, A:iha: be ea egefe) amo medole legema. Bai Na da Yesebele, e da Na balofede dunu amola Na eno hawa: hamosu dunu medole lelegeiba: le, Na da ema se dabe imunu.
You must kill your master [King Joram], the son of Ahab, because I want to punish [Ahab’s wife] Jezebel for murdering [MTY] many of my prophets and other people who served me.
8 A: iha: be ea sosogo fi amola egaga fi huluane da bogosu ba: mu. Na da ea sosogo fi dunumusu huluanedafa, goi amola da: i hamoi amo huluane ebelelesimu.
You must kill [not only Joram but] all of Ahab’s family. I want to get rid of every male in the family, including young ones and old ones.
9 Na da Isala: ili fi hina bagade Yelouboua: me amola Isala: ili hina bagade Ba: iasia ela sosogo fima hamoi defele, A:iha: be ea sosogo fima hamomu.
I will get rid of Ahab’s family, like I got rid of the families of two other kings of Israel, Jeroboam and Baasha.
10 Yesebele ea da: i hodo da mae dogone sanawene, Yeseliele sogega wa: mega na dagoi ba: mu,’” Amo sia: nanu, ayeligi balofede dunu da sesei yolesili, hobea: i.
And [when] Jezebel [dies], her corpse will not be buried. Dogs will eat her corpse there in Jezreel [city].’” After the young prophet said this, he left the room and ran.
11 Yihiu da ea na: iyado dadi gagui ouligisu dunu ilima bu asili, ilia da ema amane adole ba: i, “Liligi huluane da defeala: ? Amo gagaoui dunu da dima adi hamosala: ?” Yihiu da bu adole i, “Ea hamomusa: hanai amo dilia dawa:”
When Jehu came out of the room to where his other commanders were, they said to him, “Is everything all right? Why did that mad fellow come to you?” He replied, “You know what kinds of things young prophets like him say.”
12 Ilia amane sia: i, “Hae! Ninia hame dawa: Ea sia: i amo ninima adole ima!” Yihiu da amane sia: i, “E da nama amane sia: i, ‘Hina Gode da amane ilegesa, Na da di Isala: ili ilia hina bagade hamoma: ne susuligi sogagala: le ilegesa!’”
They said, “You are lying! Tell us what he said!” He replied, “He told me that Yahweh said, ‘I am appointing [MTY] you to be the king of Israel.’”
13 Hedolodafa, Yihiu ea na: iyado dadi gagui ouligisu dunu, ilia da ilia abula fa: gu da: iya gado, Yihiu amo da: iya aligima: ne, fa: sisili, dalabede fulabole, amola ha: giwane amane wele sisia: i, “Yihiu da hina bagade hamoi dagoi.”
Then they all spread their cloaks on the steps of the building [for Jehu to walk out on], and they blew trumpets and shouted, “Jehu is now the king!”
14 Amalalu, Yihiu da Isala: ili hina bagade Youla: me amo fane legemusa: , hohonosu wamo sia: hamoi. Hina bagade Youla: me da La: imode sogega, Silia hina bagade Ha: sa: ilelema gegenana gala: i. Amo bahoma: ne, e da Yeseliele moilai bai bagadega asili, esalu. Amaiba: le, Yihiu da ea na: iyado dadi gagui ouligisu dunuma amane sia: i, “Dilia da namagai galea, dunu mogili da La: imode fisili, Yeseliele fima sisane sia: sa: besa: le, logo huluane noga: le sosodo aligima.”
King Joram and his army had been defending Ramoth against the attacks by the army of the king of Syria. King Joram had returned to Jezreel [city], to recover from being wounded in the battle against the army of Hazael, the king of Syria. And Jehu made plans to kill Joram. He said to his other commanders, “If helping me is truly what you want, make sure that no one leaves this city to go to warn the people of Jezreel [about what I am planning to do].”
16 Amalalu, Yihiu da ea ‘sa: liode’ da: iya fila heda: le, Yeseliele moilai bai bagadega doaga: musa: asi. Youla: me e gala: i da hame bahoi, amola Yuda hina bagade A: ihasaia da ema ba: la misini, amogawi esalebe ba: i.
Then Jehu and his officers got into their chariots and rode to Jezreel, where Joram was still recovering. And King Ahaziah of Judah was there, visiting Joram.
17 Sosodo ouligisu dunu afae, Yeseliele gagagula heda: i diasu gadodili esala, da Yihiu amola ea dunu manebe ba: i. E da amane wele sia: i, “Na ba: loba dunu da hosi da: iya fili heda: fia: lebe ba: sa.” Youla: me da bu adole i, “Amo ilia da ha lai dunuyale o ninimagai dunuyale, amo ba: ma: ne, hosiga fila heda: i dunu asunasima.”
A guard was standing in the watchtower in Jezreel. He saw Jehu and his men approaching. He called out, “I see a lot of men [who are approaching]!” King Joram [heard what the watchman said, so he] said to his soldiers, “Send someone on a horse to go and find out if they are coming to be friendly to us or to attack us.”
18 Sia: adole ahoasu dunu da hosi da: iya fila heda: le asili, Yihuma doaga: le, ema amane sia: i, “Hina bagade da di da ninimagai o ninima ha lai dunuyale dawa: musa: , amo adole ba: ma: ne na asunasi.” Yihiu da bu adole i, “Amo da dia liligi hame. Na baligia aligili, nama fa: no bobogema!” Sosodo ouligisu dunu gagagula heda: i diasu gadodili esalu, da adola ahoasu dunu da Yihiu ea gilisisu doaga: le, bu hame maha, amane sia: legei.
So a man rode out to meet Jehu and said to him, “The king wants to know [if you are coming to be] friendly to us.” Jehu replied, “This is not the time for you [RHQ] to be concerned about acting friendly! Turn around and come behind me!” So the guard in the watchtower reported that the messenger had reached the group [that was approaching], but that he was not returning [alone].
19 Youla: me da sia: adola ahoasu dunu eno asunasili, e da Yihuma musa: adole ba: i defele, adole ba: i. Amola Yihiu da bu amane sia: i, “Amo da dia liligi hame. Na baligia aligili, nama fa: no bobogema!”
So King Joram sent another messenger, who asked Jehu the same question. Again Jehu replied, “This is not the time [RHQ] for you to be concerned about acting friendly! Turn around and follow me!”
20 Sosodo ouligisu dunu da enowane sia: adola ahoasu da Yihiu ea gilisisu doaga: le, hame buhagi, amo sia: legei. Amola e eno amane sia: i, “Gilisisu bisili ahoabe dunu da ea ‘sa: liode’ fila heda: le amo dadousa dunu agoane ha: gi ahoa. E da Yihiu ea hou defele hamosa.”
Then the watchman reported again, “That messenger also reached them, but he is not coming back [alone]. And [the leader of the group must be] Jehu, the son of Nimshi, because he is driving [his chariot] furiously, [like Jehu does]!”
21 Isala: ili hina bagade Youla: me da amane hamoma: ne sia: i, “Na ‘sa: liode’ momagema!” Ilia da amane hamoi. Youla: me amola Yuda hina bagade A: ihasaia, ela da elela: ‘sa: liode’ da: iya fila heda: le, Yihuma doaga: musa: , gadili asi. Ilia da sogebi amo musa: Na: ibode gagui, amoga Yihuma doaga: i.
Joram said [to his soldiers], “Get [my chariot] ready!” So they did that. Then King Joram and King Ahaziah both rode toward Jehu, each one in his own chariot. And [it happened that] they met Jehu at the field that had previously belonged to Naboth!
22 Youla: me da ema amane adole ba: i, “Di da olofoiwane manabela: ?” Yihiu da bu adole i, “Olofosu hamomu da hamedei. Bai wamuni dawa: su hou amola ogogole loboga hamoi ‘gode’ma nodone sia: ne gadosu hou amo dia ame Yesebele ea bai muni hamoi, amo huluane dialebe ba: sa.”
When Joram met Jehu, he said to him, “Are you coming on a peaceful visit?” Jehu replied, “(How can there be peace while you and your people are prostrating themselves to worship idols and practicing very much (witchcraft/sorcery) like your mother Jezebel did?/There certainly cannot be peace while you and your people are prostrating themselves to worship idols and practicing (witchcraft/sorcery) like your mother Jezebel has been doing!)” [RHQ]
23 Youla: me da ha: giwane wele sia: i, “A: ihasaia! Hohonosu hou da doaga: i dagoi!” E da ea ‘sa: liode’ delegima: ne hosi efega hiougia guda: i.
Joram cried out, “Ahaziah, they have deceived us! [They want to kill us]!” So Joram turned his chariot around and tried to flee.
24 Yihiu da ea gasa defele oulali dili, souga gala: i. Sou da asili, Youla: me ea baligia ludili, ea dogo badofai. Youla: me da ea ‘sa: liode’ ganodini, gala: la sa: ili, bogoi dagoi.
But Jehu drew his bow mightily and shot [an arrow that pierced] Joram between his shoulder blades. The arrow [went through his body and] pierced his heart, and he slumped down dead in his chariot.
25 Yihiu da ea fidisu dunu Bidigama amane sia: i, “Ea da: i hodo lale, Na: ibode ea musa: gagui sogega galagama! Di bu dawa: ma! Musa: ania da hosi da: iya fila heda: le, hina bagade Youla: me ea ada A: iha: be ea baligia ahoanoba, Hina Gode da A: iha: bema amane sia: i,
Then Jehu said to his assistant Bidkar, “Take his corpse and throw it here into the field that belonged to Naboth. [I am sure that] you remember that when you and I were riding together [in chariots] behind King Joram’s father Ahab, that Yahweh said this about Ahab:
26 ‘Na da aya Na: ibode amola egefelali medole legei ba: i. Amola Na da amane dafawane hamoma: ne ilegele sia: sa, Na da ilia medole legei sogebi amoga, dima se dabe imunu.’” Yihiu da ea fidisu dunuma eno amane sia: i, “Amaiba: le, Youla: me ea da: i hodo lale, Hina Gode Ea ilegei sia: dafawane hamoma: ne, Na: ibode ea musa: gagui sogebi amoga galagama.”
‘Yesterday I saw Ahab murder [MTY] Naboth and his sons here. And I solemnly promise that I will punish him right here in this same field!’ So take Joram’s corpse and throw it into that field! That will fulfill what Yahweh said would happen.”
27 Yuda hina bagade A: ihasaia da amo hou ba: beba: le, e da ea ‘sa: liode’ ganodini, Bede Ha: iga: nega doaga: musa: hobea: i. Yihiu da e baligia se bobogei. Yihiu da ea dunuma amane sia: i, “E amolawane medole legema!” A: ihasaia da ea ‘sa: liode’ ganodini, logo amo da Ge moilai (Ibia: me moilai gadenene) amoga asili, Yihiu ea dunu da e gala: i. Be e da bu asili, Migidou moilai bai bagadega doaga: le, bogoi.
When King Ahaziah saw what happened, he fled [in his chariot] toward Beth-Haggan [town]. But Jehu pursued him and said [to his other commanders], “Shoot him, also!” So they shot him [with arrows] while he was riding in his chariot on the road up to Gur, near Ibleam [town]. He continued going in his chariot until he reached Megiddo [city], where he died.
28 A: ihasaia ea eagene ouligisu dunu da ea bogoi da: i hodo lale, ‘sa: liode’ da: iya ligisili, Yelusaleme moilai bai bagadega gaguli asili, hina bagade bogoi uli dogosu sogebi, Da: ibidi Moilai Bai Bagade ganodini, uli dogone sali.
His officials took his corpse back to Jerusalem and buried it in the tombs in the [part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’, where his ancestors had been buried.
29 Isala: ili hina bagade Youla: me (A: iha: be egefe) amo ea ouligibi ode gidayale ganodini, A:ihasaia da Yuda hina bagade hamoi.
Ahaziah had become the king of Judah when Joram had been ruling Israel for almost eleven years.
30 Yihiu da Yeseliele moilai bai bagadega doaga: i. Yesebele da hou doaga: i nababeba: le, ea si widasilale, ea dialuma hinabo nina: hahamone, fo misa: ne agenesidili lela, logoa gudu ba: le gudui.
Then Jehu went to Jezreel. When [Ahab’s widow] Jezebel heard what had happened, she put paint/makeup on her eyelids, and combed her hair to make it beautiful, and looked out the window [of the palace toward the street below].
31 Yihiu da moilai logo holeiga golili manoba, Yesebele da amane wele sia: i, “Di Similai! Fane legesu dunu di! Abuliba: le guiguda: misi?”
While Jehu was entering the city gate, she called out to him, “You [are like] Zimri! You are a murderer! [I think] you are certainly not [RHQ] coming on a peaceful visit!”
32 Yihiu da ba: le gadole, amane wele sia: i, “Namagai da nowala: ?” Hina bagade diasu ouligisu dunu aduna o udiana da fo misa: ne agenesidili ema gudu ba: le gudui.
Jehu looked up toward the window, and then he said, “Who is (on my side/wants to help me)? Anyone?” Two or three palace officials looked down at him [from a window and pointed to themselves].
33 Yihiu da ilima amane sia: i, “Amo uda galaguduma!” Ilia da Yesebele amo ouga: ne galagudui. Ea maga: me da dobea fei damana, amola hosi damana siagagala: i. Yihiu da ea ‘sa: liode’ da: iya fila heda: le amo uda ososa: gi.
Jehu said to them, “Throw her down here!” So they threw her down, and [when she hit the ground and died], some of her blood splattered on the city wall and on the horses [that were pulling the chariots].
34 Amalalu, Yihiu da hina bagade diasuga golili sa: ili, ha: i mai. Amogalu fawane, e da amane sia: i, “Amo gagabui aligi uda, uli dogone sanasima. Bai e da hina bagade idiwi.”
Then Jehu went into the palace and ate and drank. Then he said [to some of his men], “Take the corpse of that women whom Yahweh has cursed and bury it, because she is a king’s daughter [and therefore should be buried properly].”
35 Be dunu da e uli dogomusa: asili, ea dialuma gasa amola ea lobo gasa amola emo gasa amo fawane diafulubi ba: i.
But when they went to get her corpse to bury it, all that was left was only her skull and [the bones of] her feet and her hands. Everything else was gone.
36 Ilia da amo Yihuma sia: legebeba: le, e da amane sia: i, “Hina Gode da ea hawa: hamosu dunu Ilaidiamadili sia: i defele, amo hou da doaga: i. Hina Gode da amane sia: i, ‘Yesebele ea da: i hodo da Yeseliele soge ganodini, wa: mega mai dagoi ba: mu.
When they reported this to Jehu, he said, “That is what Yahweh said would happen! He told his servant/prophet Elijah, ‘In [the city of] Jezreel, dogs will eat the flesh of Jezebel’s corpse.
37 Ea da: i hodo oda dialebe da iga safasi agoai ba: mu. Amasea, dunu afae da amo da Yesebele ea da: i hodo hamedafa dawa: mu,’”
Her bones will be scattered there in Jezreel like dung, with the result that no one will be able to [recognize them and] say, “These are Jezebel’s bones.”’”
