2 Kings 9
1 And Elisha the prophet sent for one of the sons of the prophets, and said to him, Make yourself ready for a journey, and take this bottle of oil in your hand, and go to Ramoth-gilead.
Nnabbi Erisa n’ayita omu ku bannabbi abato n’amugamba nti, “Weesibe ekimyu, otwale eccupa eno ey’amafuta, ogende nayo e Lamosugireyaadi.
2 And when you get there, go in search of Jehu, the son of Jehoshaphat, the son of Nimshi; and go in and make him get up from among his brothers, and take him to an inner room.
Bw’otuuka eyo, onoonye Yeeku mutabani wa Yekosafaati, muzzukulu wa Nimusi, omuggye mu banne, omutwale mu kisenge eky’omunda.
3 Then take the bottle and put the oil on his head, and say, The Lord says, I have put the holy oil on you to make you king over Israel. Then, opening the door, go in flight, without waiting.
Oddire eccupa ey’amafuta, ogafuke ku mutwe gwe, oyogere nti, ‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti: Nkufukako amafuta okuba kabaka wa Isirayiri.’ Oluvannyuma oggulewo oluggi odduke, so tolwawo n’akatono.”
4 So the young prophet went to Ramoth-gilead.
Awo omuvubuka nnabbi n’agenda e Lamosugireyaadi.
5 And when he came, he saw the captains of the army seated together; and he said, I have something to say to you, O captain. And Jehu said, To which of us? And he said, To you, O captain.
Bwe yatuuka, n’asanga ng’abaserikale abakulu ab’omu ggye bakuŋŋaanye n’ayogera nti, “Nnina obubaka bwo, ssebo omuduumizi.” Yeeku n’amubuuza nti, “Bw’ani ku ffe ffenna?” N’amuddamu nti, “Bubwo, ggwe omuduumizi.”
6 And he got up and went into the house; then he put the holy oil on his head and said to him, The Lord, the God of Israel, says, I have made you king over the people of the Lord, over Israel.
Yeeku n’asituka n’ayingira mu nnyumba, nnabbi n’amufukako amafuta, n’ayogera nti, “Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri nti, ‘Nkufukako amafuta okuba kabaka w’abantu ba Mukama, Abayisirayiri.
7 You are to see that the family of Ahab your master is cut off, so that I may take from Jezebel payment for the blood of my servants the prophets, and for the blood of all the servants of the Lord.
Olizikiriza ennyumba ya Akabu mukama wo, nga mpalana eggwanga olw’omusaayi gw’abaddu ba Mukama bonna, Yezeberi gwe yayiwa.
8 For the family of Ahab will come to an end; every male of Ahab's family will be cut off, he who is shut up and he who goes free in Israel.
Ennyumba yonna eya Akabu erisaanyizibwawo, era ndizikiririza ddala buli mwana wabulenzi, oba muddu oba wa ddembe mu Isirayiri.
9 I will make the family of Ahab like that of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, and Baasha, the son of Ahijah.
Ndifuula ennyumba ya Akabu okuba ng’ennyumba ya Yerobowaamu mutabani wa Nebati, era n’okufaanana ng’ennyumba ya Baasa mutabani wa Akiya.
10 And Jezebel will become food for the dogs in the heritage of Jezreel, and there will be no one to put her body into the earth. Then, opening the door, he went in flight.
N’embwa ziririira Yezeberi mu kibanja eky’e Yezuleeri era tewaliba muntu n’omu amuziika.’” Oluvannyuma olw’okwogera ebyo n’aggulawo oluggi n’adduka.
11 Then Jehu came out again to the servants of his lord, and one said to him, Is all well? why did this man, who is off his head, come to you? And he said to them, You have knowledge of the man and of his talk.
Yeeku bwe yafuluma okugenda eri bakungu banne, omu ku bo n’amubuuza nti, “Kiri bulungi? Omulalu oyo abadde akunoonyeza ki?” Yeeku n’addamu nti, “Omusajja mumumanyi n’enjogera ye mugimanyi.”
12 And they said, That is not true; now give us his story. Then he said, This is what he said to me: The Lord says, I have made you king over Israel.
Ne bamugamba nti, “Ekyo si kituufu! Tutegeeze amazima.” Yeeku n’ayogera nti, “Bw’ati bw’aŋŋambye nti, ‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti nkufukako amafuta okuba kabaka wa Isirayiri.’”
13 Then straight away everyone took his robe and put it under him on the top of the steps, and, sounding the horn, they said, Jehu is king.
Ne banguwa okuggyako eminagiro gyabwe, ne bagyaliira wansi ku madaala, ne bafuuwa ekkondeere, nga bwe baleekaana nti, “Yeeku ye kabaka.”
14 So Jehu, the son of Jehoshaphat, the son of Nimshi, made designs against Joram. (Now Joram and all the army of Israel were keeping watch on Ramoth-gilead because of Hazael, king of Aram:
Awo Yeeku mutabani wa Yekosafaati, muzzukulu wa Nimusi n’asalira Yolaamu olukwe. Yolaamu wamu ne Isirayiri yenna baali bakuuma e Lamosugireyaadi, Kazayeeri kabaka w’e Busuuli aleme okubalumba.
15 But King Joram had gone back to Jezreel to get well from the wounds which the Aramaeans had given him when he was fighting against Hazael, king of Aram.) And Jehu said, If this is your purpose, then let no one get away and go out of the town to give news of it in Jezreel.
Naye Yolaamu yali azeeyo e Yezuleeri okujjanjabibwa ebiwundu Abasuuli bye baali bamutaddeko, mu kulwanagana ne Kazayeeri kabaka w’e Busuuli. Yeeku n’ayogera nti, “Bwe muba nga bwe mutyo bwe muwulira, kale waleme okubaawo omuntu yenna atoloka okuva mu kibuga anaabunyisa amawulire mu Yezuleeri.”
16 So Jehu got into his carriage and went to Jezreel, for Joram was ill in bed there; and Ahaziah, king of Judah, had come down to see Joram.
N’alinnya mu ggaali lye, n’agenda e Yezuleeri, kubanga Yolaamu yali awummulidde eyo, nga ne Akaziya aserengese okugenda okumulabako.
17 And the watchman on the tower in Jezreel saw Jehu and his band coming, and said, I see a band of people. And Joram said, Send out a horseman to them, and let him say, Is it peace?
Awo omukuumi eyali mu kigo mu Yezuleeri, bwe yalengera ekibinja kya Yeeku nga kijja, n’akoowoola mu ddoboozi ery’omwanguka ng’agamba nti, “Waliwo ekibinja kye nnengera ekijja.” Yolaamu n’alagira nti, “Mufune omu ku beebagala embalaasi, mumutume agende abasisinkane, ababuuze nti, ‘Mujja mirembe?’”
18 So a horseman went out to them and said, The king says, Is it peace? And Jehu said, What have you to do with peace? come after me. And the watchman gave them word, saying, The horseman went up to them, but has not come back.
Awo eyeebagala embalaasi n’agenda okusisinkana Yeeku, n’amugamba nti, “Kabaka abuuza nti, ‘Mujja mirembe?’” Yeeku n’amuddamu nti, “Emirembe ogifaako ki? Kyuka odde ennyuma wange ongoberere.” Omukuumi eyali mu kigo n’ayogera nti, “Atuuse gye bali, naye tadda.”
19 Then he sent out a second horseman, who came up to them and said, The king says, Is it peace? And Jehu said in answer, What have you to do with peace? come after me.
Awo kabaka n’atuma eyeebagala embalaasi owookubiri. Bwe yatuuka we baali, n’ayogera nti, “Bw’ati bw’ayogera kabaka nti, ‘Mujja mirembe?’” Yeeku n’amuddamu nti, “Emirembe ogifaako ki? Kyuka odde ennyuma wange ongoberere.”
20 And the watchman gave them word, saying, He went up to them and has not come back again; and the driving is like the driving of Jehu, son of Nimshi, for he is driving violently.
Omukuumi n’addamu n’ayogera nti, “Oli naye atuuse, gye bali, naye tadda. N’enneebagala y’embalaasi efaanana ng’enneebala ya Yeeku muzzukulu wa Nimusi, kubanga enneebagala ye yakiralu.”
21 Then Joram said, Make ready. So they made his carriage ready; and Joram, king of Israel, with Ahaziah, king of Judah, went out in their carriages for the purpose of meeting Jehu; and they came face to face with him at the field of Naboth the Jezreelite.
Yolaamu n’ayogera nti, “Muteeketeeke eggaali lyange.” Bwe baamala okuliteekateeka, Yolaamu kabaka wa Isirayiri ne Akaziya kabaka wa Yuda, ne bafuluma ekibuga, buli omu ng’ali mu ggaali lye, ne bagenda okusisinkana Yeeku, era baamusisinkanira mu nnimiro eyali eya Nabosi Omuyezuleeri.
22 Now when Joram saw Jehu he said, Is it peace, Jehu? And he said in answer, What peace is possible while all the land is full of the disgusting sins of your mother Jezebel, and her secret arts?
Awo Yolaamu bwe yalaba Yeeku, n’amubuuza nti, “Ojja mirembe Yeeku?” Yeeku n’amuddamu nti, “Kiyinzika kitya okubaawo emirembe, nga wakyaliwo obwenzi n’obulogo bwa nnyoko Yezeberi?”
23 Then Joram, turning his horses in flight, said to Ahaziah, Broken faith, O Ahaziah!
Amangwago Yolaamu n’akyusa n’adduka, ng’akoowoola Akaziya ng’agamba nti, “Akaziya waliwo olukwe!”
24 Then Jehu took his bow in his hand, and with all his strength sent an arrow, wounding Joram between the arms; and the arrow came out at his heart, and he went down on his face in his carriage.
Awo Yeeku n’aggyayo omutego gwe n’obusaale bwe, n’amaanyi ge gonna n’anaanuula omutego n’alasa Yolaamu mu kibegabega, akasaale ne kafumita omutima gwe, n’agwa mu ggaali lye.
25 Then Jehu said to Bidkar, his captain, Take him up, and put him in the field of Naboth the Jezreelite: for is not that day in your memory when you and I together on our horses were going after Ahab, his father, and the Lord put this fate on him, saying:
Yeeku n’agamba Bidukali, omugoba we ggaali lye nti, “Mumuggyeemu, mumusuule mu nnimiro eyali eya Nabosi Omuyezuleeri. Ojjukira bwe twali tuvugira amagaali gaffe emabega wa Akabu kitaawe, Mukama n’ayogera nti ekintu kino kirimutuukako.
26 I saw the blood of Naboth and of his sons yesterday; and I will give you full payment in this field, says the Lord? So now, take him and put him in this field, as the Lord said.
‘Mazima ddala, nga jjo bwe nnalabye omusaayi gwa Nabosi n’omusaayi gw’abaana be, siireme kukusasulira mu kibanja kino kyennyini,’ bw’ayogera Mukama. Kaakano mumusitule mumusuule mu kibanja ekyo ng’ekigambo kya Mukama bwe kiri.”
27 Now when Ahaziah, king of Judah, saw this, he went in flight by the way of the garden house. And Jehu came after him and said, Put him to death in the same way; and they gave him a death-wound in his carriage, on the slope up to Gur, by Ibleam; and he went in flight to Megiddo, where death came to him.
Awo Akaziya kabaka wa Yuda bwe yalaba ebyabaawo, n’addukira mu kkubo ery’omu nnyumba ey’ennimiro. Yeeku n’amugoba, nga bw’ayogerera waggulu nti, “Naye mumutte!” Ne bamulasa, ne bamuleetako ekiwundu ng’addukira e Guli ekiriraanye Ibuleamu, ng’ali mu ggaali lye, naye n’asobola okutuuka e Megiddo, era eyo gye yafiira.
28 And his servants took him in a carriage to Jerusalem, and put him into the earth with his fathers in the town of David.
Abaddu be ne bateeka omulambo gwe mu ggaali ne bagutwala e Yerusaalemi, ne bamuziika mu ntaana ye ku biggya bya bajjajjaabe mu kibuga kya Dawudi.
29 (In the eleventh year of the rule of Joram, the son of Ahab, Ahaziah became king over Judah.)
Awo mu mwaka ogw’ekkumi n’ogumu ogw’obufuzi bwa Yolaamu mutabani wa Akabu, Akaziya n’atandika okufuga Yuda.
30 And when Jehu came to Jezreel, Jezebel had news of it; and, painting her eyes and dressing her hair with ornaments, she put her head out of the window.
Yeeku n’agenda Yezeberi gye yali, Yezeberi n’akimanya, n’asiiga amaaso ge, n’alongoosa enviiri ze, n’atunula ebweru ng’asinziira mu ddirisa.
31 And when Jehu was coming into the town, she said, Is all well, O Zimri, taker of your master's life?
Awo Yeeku bwe yali ng’ayingirira mu wankaaki, Yezeberi n’amubuuza nti, “Ojja mirembe, ggwe Zimuli, eyatemula mukama wo?”
32 Then, looking up to the window, he said, Who is on my side, who? and two or three unsexed servants put out their heads.
Yeeku n’ayimusa amaaso ge waggulu, n’akoowoola ng’abuuza nti, “Ani ali ku ludda lwange? Ani?” Abalaawe babiri oba basatu ne balingiza mu ddirisa.
33 And he said, Take her and put her out of the window. So they sent her down with force, and her blood went in a shower on the wall and on the horses; and she was crushed under their feet.
N’ayogera nti, “Mumusuule wansi!” Ne bamusuula wansi, n’omusaayi gwe ogumu ne gumansukira ekisenge ne ku mbalaasi, n’okumulinyirira ne zimulinnyirira.
34 And he came in, and took food and drink; then he said, Now see to this cursed woman, and put her body into the earth, for she is a king's daughter.
Awo Yeeku n’ayingira, n’alya era n’anywa. N’ayogera nti, “Mulabirire omulambo gw’omukazi oyo eyakolimirwa, era mulabe nga guziikibwa kubanga yali mumbejja.”
35 And they went out to put her body into the earth, but nothing of her was to be seen, only the bones of her head, and her feet, and parts of her hands.
Naye bwe bagutuukako, tebaalina kye basangawo okuggyako akawanga ke, n’ebigere bye, n’ebibatu by’emikono gye.
36 So they came back and gave him word of it. And he said, This is what the Lord said by his servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, In the heritage of Jezreel the flesh of Jezebel will become food for dogs;
Ne baddayo eri Yeeku ne bamutegeeza. N’abagamba nti, “Kino kye kigambo kya Mukama, kye yayogerera mu muddu we Eriya Omutisubi ng’agamba nti, ‘Mu kibangirizi ky’e Yezuleeri, embwa mwe ziririira omulambo gwa Yezeberi.
37 And the dead body of Jezebel will be like waste dropped on the face of the earth in the heritage of Jezreel; so that they will not be able to say, This is Jezebel.
Era omulambo gwa Yezeberi guliba ng’obusa ku ttale mu kibangirizi ky’e Yezuleeri, omuntu yenna aleme okugamba nti, Ono ye Yezeberi.’”
