< 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.
Elisha the prophet called one of the sons of the prophets and said to him, “Dress for travel, then take this little bottle of oil in your hand 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 son of Nimshi, and go in and make him arise up from among his companions, and conduct him to an inner chamber.
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 bottle of oil and pour it on his head and say, 'Yahweh says this: “I have anointed you king over Israel.”' Then open the door, and run off; do not delay.”
4 Te dongah tonghma tueihyoeih cadong tah Ramothgilead la cet.
So the young man, 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.
When he arrived, behold, the captains of the army were sitting. So the young prophet said, “I have come on an errand to you, captain.” Jehu replied, “To which of us?” The young prophet answered, “To you, captain.”
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 arose and went into the house, and the prophet poured the oil on his head and said to Jehu, “Yahweh, the God of Israel, says this: 'I have anointed you king over the people of Yahweh, over 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.
You must kill the family of Ahab your master, so that I may avenge the blood of my servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of Yahweh, who were murdered 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.
For the whole family of Ahab will perish, and I will cut off from Ahab every male child, whether he is a slave or a free person.
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 house of Jeroboam son of Nebat and like the house of 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.
The dogs will eat Jezebel in Jezreel, and there will be no one to bury her.'” Then the prophet opened the door and ran off.
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 nauh. Te vaengah amih te, “Hlang te khaw a kohuetnah te khaw na ming uh,” a ti nah.
Then Jehu came out to the servants of his master, and one said to him, “Is everything alright? Why did this mad fellow come to you?” Jehu answered them, “You know the man and the kinds of things he says.”
12 Tedae, “A honghi nim, kaimih taengah thui to laeh,” a ti nauh. 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.
They said, “That is a lie. Tell us.” Jehu answered, “He said this and that to me, and he also said, 'This is what Yahweh says: I have anointed you as 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.
Then each of them quickly took off his outer garment and put it under Jehu at the top of the steps. They blew the trumpet and said, “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.
In this way Jehu son of Jehoshaphat son of Nimshi conspired against Joram. Now Joram had been defending Ramoth Gilead, he and all Israel, because of 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 gone back to Jezreel to be healed of the wounds that the Arameans had given him, when he had fought against Hazael king of Aram. Jehu said to the servants of Joram, “If this is your opinion, then let no one escape and go out of the city, in order to go tell this news 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.
So Jehu rode in a chariot to Jezreel; for Joram was resting there. Now Ahaziah king of Judah had come down to see Joram.
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.
The watchman was standing on the tower in Jezreel, and he saw the company of Jehu as he came at a distance; he said, “I see a group of men coming.” Joram said, “Take a horseman, and send him out to meet them; tell him to say, 'Are you coming 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 man was sent on horseback to meet him; he said, “The king says this: 'Are coming in peace?'” So Jehu said, “What have you to do with peace? Turn and ride behind me.” Then the watchman told the king, “The messenger has met 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.
Then he sent out a second man on horseback, who came to them and said, “The king says this: 'Are you coming in peace?'” Jehu answered, “What have you to do with peace? Turn and ride 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 has met them, but he is not coming back. For the way that the chariot is being driven is the way that Jehu son of Nimshi drives; he is driving wildly.”
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.
So Joram said, “Get my chariot ready.” They prepared his chariot, and Joram king of Israel and Ahaziah king of Judah rode out, each in his chariot, to meet Jehu. They found him at 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 said, “Are you coming in peace, Jehu?” He answered, “What peace is there, when the idolatrous acts of prostitution and witchcraft of your mother Jezebel are so many?”
23 Jehoram te a kut a palet doela rhaelrham tih Ahaziah te, “Ahaziah hlangthai palat,” a ti nah.
So Joram turned his chariot and fled and said to Ahaziah, “There is 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 with his full strength and shot Joram between his shoulders; the arrow went through his heart, and he sank 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.
Then Jehu said to Bidkar his captain, “Pick him up and throw him in the field of Naboth the Jezreelite. Think about how when you and I rode together after Ahab his father, Yahweh placed this prophecy 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.
'Yesterday I saw the blood of Naboth and the blood of his sons—declares Yahweh—and I will surely make you pay for it on this field—declares Yahweh. Now then, pick him up and throw him on this field, according to the word of Yahweh.”
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 Ahaziah the king of Judah saw this, he fled up the road to Beth Haggan. But Jehu followed him, and said, “Kill him also in the chariot,” and they shot him at the ascent of Gur, which is by Ibleam. Ahaziah 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.
His servants carried his body in a chariot to Jerusalem and buried him in his tomb with his fathers in the city of David.
29 Ahab capa Joram kah kum hlai khat kum vaengah Ahaziah te Judah soah manghai.
Now it was in the eleventh year of Joram son of Ahab that Ahaziah had begun to reign 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.
When Jehu came to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it, and she painted her eyes, arranged her hair, and looked out the window.
31 Jehu te vongka lamloh a kun van neh, “A boei aka ngawn Zimri a sading a?” a ti nah.
As Jehu was entering the gate, she said to him, “Are you coming in peace, you Zimri, your master's murderer?”
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.
Jehu looked up at the window and said, “Who is on my side? Who?” Then two or three eunuchs looked out.
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.
So Jehu said, “Throw her down.” So they threw Jezebel down, and some of her blood spattered on the wall and the horses, and Jehu 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.
When Jehu entered the palace, he ate and drank. Then he said, “See now to this cursed woman and bury her, for she is a king's daughter.”
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.
They went to bury her, but they found no more of her than the skull, the 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 came back and told Jehu. He said, “This is the word of Yahweh which he spoke by his servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, 'In the land at Jezreel the dogs will eat 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 the body of Jezebel will be like dung on the surface of the fields in the land at Jezreel, so that no one will be able to say, “This is Jezebel.”'”
