2 Kings 9
1 And Elisha the prophet called one of the sons of the prophets, and said to him, Gird up thy loins, and take this vial of oil in thy hand, and go to Ramoth-Gilead.
Eliseus autem prophetes vocavit unum de filiis prophetarum, et ait illi: Accinge lumbos tuos, et tolle lenticulam olei hanc in manu tua, et vade in Ramoth Galaad.
2 And when thou art come thither, look out there Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat, son of Nimshi, and go in, and make him rise up from among his brethren, and bring him to an inner chamber;
Cumque veneris illuc, videbis Iehu filium Iosaphat filii Namsi: et ingressus suscitabis eum de medio fratrum suorum, et introduces in interius cubiculum.
3 then take the vial of oil, and pour it on his head and say, Thus saith Jehovah: I have anointed thee king over Israel; and open the door, and flee, and tarry not.
Tenensque lenticulam olei, fundes super caput eius, et dices: Hæc dicit Dominus: Unxi te regem super Israel. Aperiesque ostium, et fugies, et non ibi subsistes.
4 And the young man, the young prophet, went to Ramoth-Gilead.
Abiit ergo adolescens puer prophetæ in Ramoth Galaad,
5 And when he came, behold, the captains of the host were sitting. And he said, I have an errand to thee, captain. And Jehu said, To which of all of us? And he said, To thee, captain.
et ingressus est illuc: ecce autem principes exercitus sedebant, et ait: Verbum mihi ad te, O princeps. Dixitque Iehu: Ad quem ex omnibus nobis? At ille dixit: Ad te, O princeps.
6 And he rose up and went into the house; and he poured the oil on his head, and said to him, Thus saith Jehovah the God of Israel: I have anointed thee king over the people of Jehovah, over Israel.
Et surrexit et ingressus est cubiculum: at ille fudit oleum super caput eius, et ait: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus Israel: Unxi te regem super populum Domini Israel,
7 And thou shalt smite the house of Ahab thy master; and I will avenge the blood of my servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of Jehovah at the hand of Jezebel.
et percuties domum Achab domini tui, et ulciscar sanguinem servorum meorum prophetarum, et sanguinem omnium servorum Domini de manu Iezabel.
8 And the whole house of Ahab shall perish, and I will cut off from Ahab every male, and him that is shut up and left in Israel.
Perdamque omnem domum Achab: et interficiam de Achab mingentem ad parietem, et clausum, et novissimum in Israel.
9 And I will make the house of Ahab as the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and as the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah.
Et dabo domum Achab, sicut domum Ieroboam filii Nabat, et sicut domum Baasa filii Ahia.
10 And the dogs shall eat Jezebel in the plot of Jizreel, and none shall bury her. And he opened the door and fled.
Iezabel quoque comedent canes in agro Iezrahel, nec erit qui sepeliat eam. Aperuitque ostium, et fugit.
11 And Jehu came forth to the servants of his lord. And one said to him, Is all well? why came this madman to thee? And he said to them, Ye know the man, and his mind.
Iehu autem egressus est ad servos domini sui: qui dixerunt ei: Recte ne sunt omnia? Quid venit insanus iste ad te? Qui ait eis: Nostis hominem, et quid locutus sit.
12 And they said, It is false! tell us now. And he said, Thus and thus spoke he to me saying, Thus saith Jehovah: I have anointed thee king over Israel.
At ille responderunt: Falsum est, sed magis narra nobis. Qui ait eis: Hæc et hæc locutus est mihi, et ait: Hæc dicit Dominus: Unxi te regem super Israel.
13 Then they hasted and took every man his garment, and put it under him on the very stairs, and blew with trumpets, and said, Jehu is king!
Festinaverunt itaque, et unusquisque tollens pallium suum posuerunt sub pedibus eius, in similitudinem tribunalis, et cecinerunt tuba, atque dixerunt: Regnavit Iehu.
14 And Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat, son of Nimshi, conspired against Joram. (Now Joram kept Ramoth-Gilead, he and all Israel, because of Hazael king of Syria;
Coniuravit ergo Iehu filius Iosaphat filii Namsi contra Ioram: porro Ioram obsederat Ramoth Galaad, ipse, et omnis Israel contra Hazael regem Syriæ:
15 and king Joram had returned to be healed in Jizreel of the wounds that the Syrians had given him, when he fought against Hazael king of Syria.) And Jehu said, If it be your will, let not a fugitive escape out of the city to go to tell [it] in Jizreel.
et reversus fuerat ut curaretur in Iezrahel propter vulnera, quia percusserant eum Syri, præliantem contra Hazael regem Syriæ: Dixitque Iehu: Si placet vobis, nemo egrediatur profugus de civitate, ne vadat, et nunciet in Iezrahel.
16 And Jehu rode in a chariot and went to Jizreel; for Joram lay there. And Ahaziah king of Judah had come down to see Joram.
Et ascendit, et profectus est in Iezrahel: Ioram enim ægrotabat ibi, et Ochozias rex Iuda descenderat ad visitandum Ioram.
17 And the watchman stood on the tower in Jizreel, and saw Jehu's company as he came, and said, I see a company. And Joram said, Take a horseman, and send to meet them, and let him say, Is it peace?
Igitur speculator, qui stabat super turrim Iezrahel, vidit globum Iehu venientis, et ait: Video ego globum. Dixitque Ioram: Tolle currum, et mitte in occursum eorum, et dicat vadens: Recte ne sunt omnia?
18 So there went one on horseback to meet him; and he said, Thus saith the king: Is it peace? And Jehu said, What hast thou to do with peace? turn thee behind me. And the watchman told saying, The messenger came to them, and he does not return.
Abiit ergo, qui ascenderat currum, in occursum eius, et ait: Hæc dicit rex: Pacata ne sunt omnia? Dixitque Iehu: Quid tibi et paci? Transi, et sequere me. Nunciavit quoque speculator, dicens: Venit nuncius ad eos, et non revertitur.
19 And he sent out a second on horseback; and he came to them and said, Thus saith the king: Is it peace? And Jehu said, What hast thou to do with peace? turn thee behind me.
Misit etiam currum equorum secundum: venitque ad eos, et ait: Hæc dicit rex: Numquid pax est? Et ait Iehu: Quid tibi et paci? Transi, et sequere me.
20 And the watchman told saying, He came to them, and does not return. And the driving is like the driving of Jehu the son of Nimshi; for he drives furiously.
Nunciavit autem speculator, dicens: Venit usque ad eos, et non revertitur: est autem incessus quasi incessus Iehu filii Namsi, præceps enim graditur.
21 Then Joram said, Make ready! And they made ready his chariot. And Joram king of Israel and Ahaziah king of Judah went out, each in his chariot; and they went out to meet Jehu, and met him in the plot of Naboth the Jizreelite.
Et ait Ioram: Iunge currum. Iunxeruntque currum eius, et egressus est Ioram rex Israel, et Ochozias rex Iuda, singuli in curribus suis, egressique sunt in occursum Iehu, et invenerunt eum in agro Naboth Iezrahelitæ.
22 And it came to pass when Joram saw Jehu, that he said, Is it peace, Jehu? And he said, What peace, so long as the fornications of thy mother Jezebel and her sorceries are so many?
Cumque vidisset Ioram Iehu, dixit: Pax est Iehu? At ille respondit: Quæ pax? Adhuc fornicationes Iezabel matris tuæ, et veneficia eius multa vigent.
23 Then Joram turned his hand, and fled, and said to Ahaziah, Treachery, Ahaziah!
Convertit autem Ioram manum suam, et fugiens ait ad Ochoziam: Insidiæ Ochozia.
24 And Jehu took his bow in his hand, and smote Jehoram between his arms, and the arrow went out through his heart; and he sank down in his chariot.
Porro Iehu tetendit arcum manu, et percussit Ioram inter scapulas: et egressa est sagitta per cor eius, statimque corruit in curru suo.
25 And he said to Bidkar his captain, Take him up [and] cast him in the plot of the field of Naboth the Jizreelite. For remember how, when I and thou rode together after Ahab his father, that Jehovah laid this burden upon him:
Dixitque Iehu ad Badacer ducem: Tolle, proiice eum in agro Naboth Iezrahelitæ: memini enim quando ego et tu sedentes in curru sequebamur Achab patrem huius, quod Dominus onus hoc levaverit super eum, dicens:
26 Certainly I have seen yesterday the blood of Naboth, and the blood of his sons, saith Jehovah; and I will requite thee in this plot, saith Jehovah. And now, take [and] cast him into the plot, according to the word of Jehovah.
Si non pro sanguine Naboth, et pro sanguine filiorum eius, quem vidi heri, ait Dominus, reddam tibi in agro isto, dicit Dominus. Nunc ergo tolle, et proiice eum in agrum iuxta verbum Domini.
27 When Ahaziah king of Judah saw [that], he fled by the way of the garden-house. And Jehu followed after him, and said, Smite him also in his chariot. It was on the ascent of Gur, which is by Jibleam. And he fled to Megiddo, and died there.
Ochozias autem rex Iuda videns hoc, fugit per viam domus horti: persecutusque est eum Iehu, et ait: Etiam hunc percutite in curru suo. Et percusserunt eum in ascensu Gaver, qui est iuxta Ieblaam: qui fugit in Mageddo, et mortuus est ibi.
28 And his servants carried him in a chariot to Jerusalem, and buried him in his sepulchre with his fathers in the city of David.
Et imposuerunt eum servi eius super currum suum, et tulerunt in Ierusalem: sepelieruntque eum in sepulchro cum patribus suis in Civitate David.
29 (And in the eleventh year of Joram the son of Ahab had Ahaziah begun to reign over Judah.)
Anno undecimo Ioram filii Achab, regnavit Ochozias super Iudam,
30 And Jehu came to Jizreel; and Jezebel heard of it, and she put paint to her eyes, and decked her head, and looked out at the window.
venitque Iehu in Iezrahel. Porro Iezabel introitu eius audito, depinxit oculos suos stibio, et ornavit caput suum, et respexit per fenestram
31 And when Jehu came in at the gate, she said, Is it peace, Zimri, murderer of his master?
ingredientem Iehu per portam, et ait: Numquid pax potest esse Zambri, qui interfecit dominum suum?
32 And he lifted up his face to the window, and said, Who is on my side? who? And two or three chamberlains looked out to him.
Levavitque Iehu faciem suam ad fenestram, et ait: Quæ est ista? Et inclinaverunt se ad eum duo, vel tres eunuchi.
33 And he said, Throw her down! And they threw her down; and some of her blood was sprinkled on the wall, and on the horses; and he trampled on her.
At ille dixit eis: Præcipitate eam deorsum. Et præcipitaverunt eam, aspersusque est sanguine paries, et equorum ungulæ conculcaverunt eam.
34 And he came in, and ate and drank; and he said, Go, look, I pray you, after this cursed [woman], and bury her; for she is a king's daughter.
Cumque introgressus esset, ut comederet, biberetque, ait: Ite, et videte maledictam illam, et sepelite eam: quia filia regis est.
35 And they went to bury her; but they found no more of her than the skull, and the feet, and the palms of the hands.
Cumque issent ut sepelirent eam, non invenerunt nisi calvariam, et pedes, et summas manus.
36 And they came back and told him. And he said, This is the word of Jehovah, which he spoke through his servant Elijah the Tishbite saying, In the plot of Jizreel shall dogs eat the flesh of Jezebel;
Reversique nunciaverunt ei. Et ait Iehu: Sermo Domini est, quem locutus est per servum suum Eliam Thesbiten, dicens: In agro Iezrahel comedent canes carnes Iezabel,
37 and the carcase of Jezebel shall be as dung upon the open field in the plot of Jizreel, so that they shall not say, This is Jezebel.
et erunt carnes Iezabel sicut stercus super faciem terræ in agro Iezrahel, ita ut prætereuntes dicant: Hæccine est illa Iezabel?
