2 Manghai 9
1 Tonghma Elisha loh tonghma ca pakhat te a khue tih a taengah, “Na cinghen te yen laeh, na kut dongah situi um khat khuen lamtah Ramothgilead la cet laeh.
Now Elisha the prophet summoned one of the sons of the prophets and said to him, “Tuck your cloak under your belt, take this flask of oil, and go to Ramoth-gilead.
2 Te la na pawk vaengah Nimshi koca Jehoshaphat capa Jehu te pahoi so lah. Cet lamtah anih te a manuca lakli lamloh thoh. Te phoeiah anih te imkhui kah imkhui la khuen.
When you arrive, look for Jehu son of Jehoshaphat, the son of Nimshi. Go in, get him away from his companions, and take him to an inner room.
3 Te phoeiah situi um te lo lamtah a lu ah suep pah. Te vaengah, 'BOEIPA loh he ni a. thui. Nang he Israel sokah manghai la kang koelh coeng,’ ti nah. Te phoeiah thohkhaih te ong lamtah rhaelrham laeh, uelh boeh,” a ti nah.
Then take the flask of oil, pour it on his head, and declare, ‘This is what the LORD says: I anoint you king over Israel.’ Then open the door and run. Do not delay!”
4 Te dongah tonghma tueihyoeih cadong tah Ramothgilead la cet.
So the young prophet went to Ramoth-gilead,
5 A pawk vaengah caem mangpa rhoek tarha ana ngol uh tih, “Kai taengkah ol he mangpa nang ham ni,” a ti nah. Jehu loh, “Kaimih boeih khuiah u ham nim?” a ti nah vaengah, “Mangpa nang ham,” a ti nah.
and when he arrived, the army commanders were sitting there. “I have a message for you, commander,” he said. “For which of us?” asked Jehu. “For you, commander,” he replied.
6 Te dongah thoo tih imkhui la a kun puei phoeiah a lu soah situi neh a suep pah. Te phoeiah anih te, “Israel Pathen BOEIPA loh he ni a. thui. BOEIPA kah pilnam so neh Israel soah manghai la nang kang koelh coeng.
So Jehu got up and went into the house, where the young prophet poured the oil on his head and declared, “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘I anoint you king over the LORD’s people Israel.
7 Na boei Ahab imkhui te ngawn kuekluek. Ka sal tonghma rhoek kah thii neh BOEIPA sal boeih kah thii te Jezebel kut lamloh phu ka loh ni.
And you are to strike down the house of your master Ahab, so that I may avenge the blood of My servants the prophets and the blood of all the servants of the LORD shed by the hand of Jezebel.
8 Ahab imkhui he boeih milh ni. Ahab lamkah ngawn tah pangbueng aka yun thil khaw, Israel khuiah a khoh neh a hlah khaw ka thup ni.
The whole house of Ahab will perish, and I will cut off from Ahab every male, both slave and free, in Israel.
9 Ahab imkhui te Nebat capa Jeroboam imkhui bangla, Ahijah capa Baasha imkhui bangla ka saii ni.
I will make the house of Ahab like the houses of Jeroboam son of Nebat and Baasha son of Ahijah.
10 Jezebel te ui loh Jezreel khoyo ah a ngaeh vetih up uh mahpawh,” a ti nah. Te phoeiah thohkhaih te a ong tih rhaelrham.
And on the plot of ground at Jezreel the dogs will devour Jezebel, and there will be no one to bury her.’” Then the young prophet opened the door and ran.
11 Jehu te a boei rhoek kah sal rhoek taengla a moe vaengah tah anih te, “Then ngawn a? Pavai te nang taengla balae han loh,” a ti na uh. Te vaengah amih te, “Hlang te khaw a kohuetnah te khaw na ming uh,” a ti nah.
When Jehu went out to the servants of his master, they asked, “Is everything all right? Why did this madman come to you?” “You know his kind and their babble,” he replied.
12 Tedae, “A honghi nim, kaimih taengah thui to laeh,” a ti na uh. Te dongah, “Heben hebang la kai taengah cal tih, 'BOEIPA loh he ni a. thui, Israel sokah manghai la nang kang koelh,’ a ti,” a ti nah.
“That is a lie!” they said. “Tell us now!” So Jehu answered, “He talked to me about this and that, and he said, ‘This is what the LORD says: I anoint you king over Israel.’”
13 Te vaengah hlang loh a himbai a loh uh paitok tih tangtlaeng hlaklong soah anih ham a khueh uh. Te phoeiah tuki te a ueng uh tih, “Jehu manghai coeng,” a ti uh.
Quickly, each man took his garment and put it under Jehu on the bare steps. Then they blew the ram’s horn and proclaimed, “Jehu is king!”
14 Nimshi koca Jehoshaphat capa Jehu loh Joram te a taeng. Te vaengah Joram amah neh Israel pum tah Aram manghai Hazael te a hmai lamloh Ramothgilead ah aka mah la om.
Thus Jehu son of Jehoshaphat, the son of Nimshi, conspired against Joram. (Now Joram and all Israel had been defending Ramoth-gilead against Hazael king of Aram,
15 Tedae manghai Jehoram tah Aram manghai Hazael loh a vathoh thil tih Arammi loh a ngawn vaengkah a hmasoe te toi ham Jezreel la mael. Te vaengah Jehu loh, “Nangmih kah hinglu ni a. om van atah khopuei lamloh hlangyong coe boel saeh. Cet vetih Jezreel ah puen khaw puen lah ve,” a ti.
but King Joram had returned to Jezreel to recover from the wounds he had suffered at the hands of the Arameans in the battle against Hazael their king.) So Jehu said, “If you commanders wish to make me king, then do not let anyone escape from the city to go and tell it in Jezreel.”
16 Te dongah Jehu te leng dongah ngol tih Jezreel la a caeh caeh vaengah teah te Joram ana yalh coeng. Te vaengah Judah manghai Ahaziah khaw Joram te sawt hamla suntla van.
Then Jehu got into his chariot and went to Jezreel, because Joram was laid up there and Ahaziah king of Judah had gone down to see him.
17 Te vaengah Jezreel kah rhaltoengim dongah aka pai loh a tawt vaengah Jehu cako te a hmuh. Amah taengla a pawk vaengah tah, “Kai cako ka hmuh,” a ti. Te dongah Jehoram loh, “lengboei te lo,” a ti nah. Te phoeiah amih te doe hamla a tueih tih, “Rhoepnah ham nim?,” a ti nah.
Now the watchman standing on the tower in Jezreel saw Jehu’s troops approaching, and he called out, “I see a company of troops!” “Choose a rider,” Joram commanded. “Send him out to meet them and ask, ‘Have you come in peace?’”
18 Anih te doe hamla marhang dongah aka ngol te cet tih, “Manghai loh he ni a. thui, rhoepnah ham nim?” a ti nah. Tedae Jehu loh rhoepnah te nang hut a? Kai hnuk ah mael palueng,” a ti nah. Te dongah rhaltawt te puen tih, “Puencawn he amih taengla pawk tih ha mael pawh,” a ti nah.
So a horseman rode off to meet Jehu and said, “This is what the king asks: ‘Have you come in peace?’” “What do you know about peace?” Jehu replied. “Fall in behind me.” And the watchman reported, “The messenger reached them, but he is not coming back.”
19 Te dongah a pabae la marhang dongah aka ngol te a tueih tih amih taengla pawk. Te vaengah, “Manghai loh, 'He he rhoepnah ham a?' a ti,” a ti nah. Tedae Jehu loh, “Rhoepnah te khaw nang hut a? Kai hnuk ah mael palueng,” a ti nah.
So the king sent out a second horseman, who went to them and said, “This is what the king asks: ‘Have you come in peace?’” “What do you know about peace?” Jehu replied. “Fall in behind me.”
20 Rhaltawt te puen bal tih, “Amih taengla a pha dae ha mael pawh. A vainah khaw Nimshi capa Jehu kah a vainah bangla, pavai bangla a vai,” a ti nah.
Again the watchman reported, “He reached them, but he is not coming back. And the charioteer is driving like Jehu son of Nimshi —he is driving like a madman!”
21 Te dongah Jehoram loh, “Hlah uh laeh,” a ti nah tih amah kah leng neh hlah uh. Te vaengah Israel manghai Jehoram khaw, Judah manghai Ahaziah khaw amah amah kah leng dongah ngol. Te phoeiah Jehu doe hamla thoeih rhoi tih Jezreel Naboth khamyai ah anih nehhum uh.
“Harness!” Joram shouted, and they harnessed his chariot. Then Joram king of Israel and Ahaziah king of Judah set out, each in his own chariot, and met Jehu on the property of Naboth the Jezreelite.
22 Jehoram loh Jehu te a hmuh van neh, “Jehu, rhoepnah ham a?” a ti nah. Tedae, “Na nu Jezebel kah pumyoihnah neh anih kah sungrhai rhoepsaep dongah rhoepnah ete?” a ti nah.
When Joram saw Jehu, he asked, “Have you come in peace, Jehu?” “How can there be peace,” he replied, “as long as the idolatry and witchcraft of your mother Jezebel abound?”
23 Jehoram te a kut a palet doela rhaelrham tih Ahaziah te, “Ahaziah hlangthai palat,” a ti nah.
Joram turned around and fled, calling out to Ahaziah, “Treachery, Ahaziah!”
24 Jehu loh a kut neh lii te a phuk tih Jehoram te a ban laklo ah a kah. Te vaengah palaa te a lungkoe lamloh a pawlh pah dongah amah kah leng khuiah pahoi sop uh.
Then Jehu drew his bow and shot Joram between the shoulders. The arrow pierced his heart, and he slumped down in his chariot.
25 Te vaengah a rhalboei pathum nah Bidkar taengah, “Jezreel Naboth lo kah khamyai ah anih te hal lamtah voei laeh. BOEIPA loh anih ham he olrhuh a thaa te a napa Ahab hnukkah aka ngol rhoi nang neh kai loh poek sih.
And Jehu said to Bidkar his officer, “Pick him up and throw him into the field of Naboth the Jezreelite. For remember that when you and I were riding together behind his father Ahab, the LORD lifted up this burden against him:
26 Naboth thii neh anih ca rhoek kah thii te BOEIPA olphong bangla hlaem ah ka hmuh pawt nim. Te dongah BOEIPA olphong bangla he khamyai ham te nang taengah kan thuung ni. Te dongah BOEIPA ol bangla anih he khamyai ah hal lamtah voei laeh,” a ti nah.
‘As surely as I saw the blood of Naboth and the blood of his sons yesterday, declares the LORD, so will I repay you on this plot of ground, declares the LORD.’ Now then, according to the word of the LORD, pick him up and throw him on the plot of ground.”
27 Judah manghai Ahaziah loh a hmuh vaengah Bethhaggan longpuei la rhaelrham. Tedae anih hnuk te Jehu loh a hloem tih Ibleam taengkah Gur kham ah tah, “Anih te khaw amah kah leng khuiah ngawn uh,” a ti nah. Te vaengah Megiddo la rhaelrham dae pahoi duek.
When King Ahaziah of Judah saw this, he fled up the road toward Beth-haggan. And Jehu pursued him, shouting, “Shoot him too!” So they shot Ahaziah in his chariot on the Ascent of Gur, near Ibleam, and he fled to Megiddo and died there.
28 Anih te a sal rhoek loh Jerusalem hil a ngol sak tih David khopuei kah amah phuel ah tah anih te a napa rhoek neh a up uh.
Then his servants carried him by chariot to Jerusalem and buried him with his fathers in his tomb in the City of David.
29 Ahab capa Joram kah kum hlai khat kum vaengah Ahaziah te Judah soah manghai.
(In the eleventh year of Joram son of Ahab, Ahaziah had become king over Judah.)
30 Jehu Jezreel la a pawk daengah Jezebel loh a yaak. Te dongah a mik te mikdum la a khueh tih a lu te akhuem phoeiah bangbuet lamloh a dan.
Now when Jehu arrived in Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it. So she painted her eyes, adorned her head, and looked down from a window.
31 Jehu te vongka lamloh a kun van neh, “A boei aka ngawn Zimri a sading a?” a ti nah.
And as Jehu entered the gate, she asked, “Have you come in peace, O Zimri, murderer of your master?”
32 Te vaengah a maelhmai te bangbuet taengla loe hang tih, “Kai taengah unim, unim?,” a ti. Te dongah anih te imkhoem panit pathum loh a moe thil.
He looked up at the window and called out, “Who is on my side? Who?” And two or three eunuchs looked down at him.
33 Tedae, “Anih te tulh la tulh uh,” a ti nah dongah Jezebel te a tulh uh. Te vaengah a thii te pangbueng dong neh marhang dongah a haeh pah. Te phoeiah amah te a suntlae.
“Throw her down!” yelled Jehu. So they threw her down, and her blood splattered on the wall and on the horses as they trampled her underfoot.
34 Cet tih a caak a ok phoeiah tah, “Thuep uh lah, thae a phoei thil coeng he, tedae anih he manghai canu ni up uh nawn,” a ti nah.
Then Jehu went in and ate and drank. “Take care of this cursed woman,” he said, “and bury her, for she was the daughter of a king.”
35 Jezebel te up ham cet uh dae amah te hmuh uh voel pawh. A luhong, a kho neh a kut dongkah kutbom dawk ana om.
But when they went out to bury her, they found nothing but her skull, her feet, and the palms of her hands.
36 Te dongah mael uh tih a taengla puen uh. Te dongah Jehu loh, “He tah BOEIPA loh a sal Tishbi Elijah kut dongah a thui bangla, 'Jezreel khoyo ah ui rhoek loh Jezebel saa te a caak ni.
So they went back and told Jehu, who replied, “This is the word of the LORD, which He spoke through His servant Elijah the Tishbite: ‘On the plot of ground at Jezreel the dogs will devour the flesh of Jezebel.
37 Jezebel kah rhok he Jezreel khoyo kah lohma rhi ah aek bangla om rhoe om ni, ' a ti ol bangla Jezebel he thui boel saeh,” a ti.
And Jezebel’s body will lie like dung in the field on the plot of ground at Jezreel, so that no one can say: This is Jezebel.’”
