2 Kings 9
1 And Eliseus the prophet called one of the sons of the prophets, slid said to him: Gird up thy loins, and take this little bottle of oil in thy hand, and go to Ramoth Galaad.
Emesịa, Ịlaisha onye amụma, kpọrọ otu onye nʼime ụmụ ndị amụma sị ya, “Jikere, fanye ọnụ uwe mwụda gị nʼeriri ikere nʼukwu gị, werekwa karama mmanụ oliv a nʼaka gị, bịa ka ị gaa Ramọt Gilead.
2 And when thou art come thither, thou shalt see Jehu the son of Josaphat the son of Namsi: and going in thou shalt make him rise up from amongst his brethren, and carry him into an inner chamber.
I jeruo ebe ahụ, jee hụ Jehu nwa Jehoshafat, nwa Nimshi anya. Mee ka o bilie site nʼetiti ndị ha na ya nọ. Mekwaa ka gị na ya naanị baa nʼime ụlọ.
3 Then taking the little bottle of oil, thou shalt pour it on his head, and shalt say: Thus saith the Lord: I have anointed thee king over Israel. And thou shalt open the door and flee, and shalt not stay there.
Were karama mmanụ wụkwasị ya nʼisi gwa ya okwu sị, ‘Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru, eteela m gị mmanụ ịbụ eze Izrel.’ I mesịa, meghe ụzọ ọsịịsọ, sitekwa nʼebe ahụ gbapụ ọsọ.”
4 So the young man, the servant of the prophet, went awry to Ramoth Galaad,
Nwokorobịa onye amụma ahụ gara Ramọt Gilead.
5 And went in thither: and behold the captains of the army were sitting: and he said: I have a word to thee, O prince. And Jehu said: Unto whom of us all? And he said: To thee, O prince.
Mgbe o jeruru, ọ hụrụ ebe ọchịagha ahụ nọdụrụ nʼala nʼetiti ndịisi agha ibe ya. O kwuru sị, “Enwere m ozi m ga-ezi gị, ọchịagha.” Jehu jụrụ, “Ọ bụ onye nʼime anyị ka ị chọrọ izi ozi?” Ọ zara, “Ọ bụ gị ọchịagha.”
6 And he arose, and went into the chamber: and he poured the oil upon his head, and said: Thus saith the Lord God of Israel: I have anointed thee king over Israel, the people of the Lord.
Jehu biliri baa nʼime ụlọ. Nwokorobịa onye amụma ahụ wụkwasịrị ya mmanụ nʼisi, sị ya, “Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị, Chineke Izrel sịrị, ‘Eteela m gị mmanụ ịbụ eze ndị nke Onyenwe anyị, bụ Izrel.
7 And thou shalt cut off the house of Achab thy master, and I will revenge the blood of my servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of the Lord at the hand of Jezabel.
Ị ga-ekpochapụ ezinaụlọ Ehab, nna gị ukwu, aga m esi otu a bọtara onwe m ọbọ, nʼihi ọbara ndị ohu m, bụ ndị amụma na ọbara ndị ozi Onyenwe anyị niile Jezebel wufuru.
8 And I will destroy all the house of Achab, and I will cut off from Achab him that pisseth against the well, and him that is shut up, and the meanest in Israel.
Ezinaụlọ Ehab ga-abụ ihe lara nʼiyi. Nʼala Izrel, m ga-esite nʼezinaụlọ Ehab bipụ ndị ikom niile, maọbụ ohu maọbụ onye nwe onwe ya.
9 And I will make the house of Achab like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, and like the house of Baasa the son of Ahias.
M ga-ala ụlọ Ehab nʼiyi, ka m si laa ezinaụlọ Jeroboam nwa Nebat nʼiyi, na dịka m si lakwaa ezinaụlọ Baasha, nwa Ahija nʼiyi.
10 And the dogs shall eat Jezabel in the field of Jezrahel, and there shall be no one to bury her. And he opened the door and fled.
Nkịta ga-erikwa anụ Jezebel nwunye Ehab na Jezril. Ọ dịkwaghị onye ga-eli ya.’” Mgbe o kwuchara okwu ndị a, onye amụma ahụ meghere ụzọ gbapụ ọsọ.
11 Then Jehu went forth to the servants of his lord: and they said to him: Are all things well? why came this mad man to thee? And he said to them: You know the man, and what he said.
Jehu jekwuuru ndịisi agha ibe ya. Otu onye nʼime ha jụrụ ya sị, “Gịnị ka onye ara ahụ chọrọ bịa? Udo ọ dịkwa?” Jehu zara, “Unu maara onye ọ bụ, marakwa ụdị okwu ga-esi ya nʼọnụ pụta.”
12 But they answered: It is false, but rather do thou tell us. And he said to them: Thus and thus did he speak to me: and he said: Thus saith the Lord: I have anointed thee king over Israel.
Ha sịrị, “Ihe i kwuru abụghị eziokwu, gwa anyị ihe o kwuru.” Jehu sịrị, “Ihe ndị a ka ọ gwara m, ‘Otu a ka a Onyenwe anyị kwuru, Eteela m gị mmanụ ịbụ eze Izrel.’”
13 Then they made haste and taking every man his garment laid it under his feet, after the manner of a judgment seat, and they sounded the trumpet, and said: Jehu is king.
Ngwangwa ha chịịrị uwe mgbokwasị ha niile doo ha nʼusoro nʼala ebe ahụ ka Jehu zọkwasị ha ụkwụ. Ha fụrụ opi ike tie mkpu sị, “Jehu bụ eze!”
14 So Jehu the son of Josaphat the son of Namsi conspired against Joram. Now Joram had besieged Ramoth Galaad, he and all Israel fighting with Hazael king of Syria:
Otu a ka Jehu nwa Jehoshafat, nwa Nimshi, si gbaa izu megide Joram. (Nʼoge a, Joram na ndị Izrel niile na-eche Ramọt Gilead nche, nʼihi Hazael eze Aram.)
15 And was returned to be healed in Jezrahel of his wounds, for the Syrians had wounded him, when he fought with Hazael king of Syria. And Jehu said: If it please you, let no mall go forth or flee out of the city, lest he go, and tell in Jezrahel.
Ma Joram bụ eze, laghachitere na Jezril ebe ọ nọ ka ahụ dị ya mma maka ahụ ndị Aram merụrụ ya mgbe ya na Hazael, eze Aram lụrụ agha. Ya mere, Jehu sịrị, “Ọ bụrụ na nke a bụ uche unu, ime m eze unu, unu ekwela ka onye ọbụla si nʼobodo a gbapụ, gaa Jezril kọọ akụkọ a.”
16 And he got up, and went into Jezrahel: for Joram was sick there, and Ochozias king of Juda was come down to visit Joram.
Mgbe ahụ, Jehu wụkwasịrị nʼelu ụgbọ agha ya gbaga Jezril, nʼihi na Joram nọ nʼebe ahụ na-ezu ike. Ma Ahazaya, bụ eze Juda gakwara ileta ya.
17 The watchmen therefore, that stood upon the tower of Jezrahel, saw the troop of Jehu coming, and said: I see a troop. And Joram said: Take a chariot, and send to meet them, and let him that goeth say: Is all well?
Mgbe onye nche nọ nʼụlọ elu Jezril hụrụ Jehu na ndị agha ya ka ha na-abịa, o tiri mkpu sị, “Lee, o nwere ndị agha na-abịa.” Joram eze Izrel nyere iwu sị, “Zipụ otu onye na-agba ịnyịnya ka ọ gaa zute ha jụọ ha sị, ‘Udo ọ dịkwa?’”
18 So there went one in a chariot to meet him, and said: Thus saith the king: Are all things peaceable? And Jehu said: What hast thou to do with peace? go behind and follow me. And the watchman told, saying: The messenger came to them, but he returneth not.
Onye ọgbaịnyịnya ahụ nọkwasịrị nʼelu ya gbapụ izute Jehu, sị, “Otu a ka eze sịrị, ‘Udo ọ dịkwa?’” Jehu zara, “Gịnị ka gị na udo nwekọrọ? Tụgharịa gaa soro m nʼazụ.” Onye nche ahụ ziri ozi sị, “Onyeozi ahụ ezutela ha, kama ọ naghị alọta.”
19 And he sent a second chariot of horses: and he came to them, and said: Thus saith the king: Is there peace? And Jehu said: What hast thou to do with peace? pass, and follow me.
Eze zipụrụ onye ọgbaịnyịnya nke abụọ. Mgbe ọ bịakwutere ha ọ sịrị, “Otu a ka eze sịrị, ‘Udo ọ dịkwa?’” Jehu zara, “Gịnị ka gị na udo nwekọrọ? Chigharịa soro m nʼazụ.”
20 And the watchman told, saying: He came even to them, but returneth not: and the driving is like the driving of Jehu the son of Namsi, for he drives furiously.
Onye ahụ nọ na-eche nche sịrị, “Ọ garuola ha nso, ma ọ dịghị alọghachitekwa azụ. Ma ọgbụgba ịnyịnya dịka ọ bụ Jehu nwa Nimshi, nʼihi na ọ na-agba ịnyịnya ya dịka onye na-ayị ara.”
21 And Joram said: Make ready the chariot. And they made ready his chariot, and Joram king of Israel, and Ochozias king of Juda went out, each in his chariot, and they went out to meet Jehu, and met him in the field of Naboth the Jezrahelite.
Joram nyere iwu sị, “Kwadooro m ụgbọ agha m.” Mgbe a kwadooro ya, Joram eze Izrel, na Ahazaya, eze Juda, pụtara nọkwasị nʼụgbọ agha, onye ọbụla na nke ya, pụọ ịga izute Jehu. Ha zutere ya nʼoke ala ubi Nebọt, onye Jezril.
22 And when Joram saw Jehu, he said: Is there peace, Jehu? And he answered: What peace? so long as the fornications of Jezabel thy mother, and her many sorceries are in their vigour.
Mgbe Joram hụrụ Jehu, ọ jụrụ, “Ị bịara nʼudo? Udo ọ dịkwa, Jehu?” Jehu zara, “Olee otu udo ga-esi dịrị, ebe ọ bụ na ihe ọjọọ niile nke ikpere arụsị na mgbaasị nke Jezebel nne gị, jupụtara nʼebe niile.”
23 And Joram turned his hand, and fleeing, said to Ochozias: There is treachery, Ochozias.
Joram chigharịrị ụgbọ agha ya bido ịgba ọsọ. Mgbe ọ na-agba ọsọ, o tiri mkpu kpọkuo Ahazaya sị ya, “Ahazaya, Aghụghọ dị, ọgbaaghara dị!”
24 But Jehu bent Iris bow with his hand, and shot Joram between the shoulders: and the arrow went out through his heart, and immediately he fell in his chariot.
Jehu jiri ike ya niile dọtịa ụta o ji nʼaka ya gba ya Joram. Ọ gbatara Joram àkụ ahụ nʼazụ. Àkụ ahụ sikwa ya nʼobi pụta. Nke a mere ka Joram daa nʼime ụgbọala ya nwụọ.
25 And Jehu said to Badacer his captain: Take him, and cast him into the field of Naboth the Jezrahelite: for I remember when I and thou sitting in a chariot followed Achab this man’s father, that the Lord laid this burden upon him, saying:
Mgbe ahụ, Jehu sịrị Bidka, bụ onyeisi agha ya, “Bulie ya, tụba ya nʼubi Nebọt onye Jezril. Chetakwa na mụ na gị nọkwasịrị nʼelu ịnyịnya, anyị abụọ, na-eso nna ya Ehab, mgbe Onyenwe anyị kwuru okwu amụma a megide ya.
26 If I do not requite thee in this field, saith the Lord, for the blood of Naboth, and for the blood of his children, which I saw yesterday, saith the Lord. So now take him, and cast him into the field, according to the word of the Lord.
‘Nʼezie, ahụrụ m ọbara Nebọt na ọbara ụmụ ya ndị ikom ụnyaahụ, otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara, nʼihi ya, aghaghị m ime ka ị kwụghachi ụgwọ ọbara ha nʼala ubi a.’ Ugbu a, bulie ya tụba ya nʼala ubi a dị ka okwu Onyenwe anyị si dị.”
27 But Ochozias king of Juda seeing this, fled by the way of the garden house: and Jehu pursued him, and said: Strike him also in his chariot. And they struck him in the going up to Gaver, which is by Jeblaam: and he fled into Mageddo, and died there.
Mgbe Ahazaya eze Juda, hụrụ ihe mere, ọ gbaara ọsọ na-agbago nʼụzọ Bet Hagan. Ma Jehu chụsoro ya, na-eti mkpu sị, “Gbukwuonụ ya.” Ha merụrụ ya ahụ ka ọ nọ nʼụgbọ agha ya, nʼụzọ ịga Gua, nso Ibleam, ọ gbara ọsọ ga Megido ebe ọ nọ nwụọ.
28 And his servants laid him upon his chariot, and carried him to Jerusalem: and they buried him in his sepulchre with his fathers in the city of David.
Ndị ohu ya ji ụgbọ agha bịa buru ozu ya bubata ya na Jerusalem, lie ya nʼebe e liri nna nna ya ha, nʼobodo Devid.
29 In the eleventh year of Joram the son of Achab, Ochozias reigned over Juda,
Nʼafọ iri na otu nke ọchịchị Joram nwa Ehab, ka Ahazaya malitere ịbụ eze Juda.
30 And Jehu came into Jezrahel. But Jezabel hearing of his coming in, painted her face with stibic stone, and adorned her head, and looked out of a window
Mgbe Jezebel nụrụ na Jehu abịaruola Jezril, ọ banyere nʼụlọ ya, tee uri nʼanya abụọ, dozie agịrị isi ya, pụta bịa nọdụ ala nʼakụkụ oghereikuku, site nʼebe ahụ na-elepụ anya nʼezi.
31 At Jehu coming in at the gate, and said: Can there be peace for Zambri, that hath killed his master?
Mgbe Jehu batara nʼọnụ ụzọ e si abata ụlọeze, Jezebel kpọkuru ya sị, “Ị bịara nʼudo, gị Zimri, gị onye gburu nna gị ukwu.”
32 And Jehu lifted up his face to the window, and said: Who is this? And two or three eunuchs bowed down to him.
Jehu leliri anya elu lee anya na oghereikuku tie mkpu sị, “Onye dịnyeere m?” Onozi abụọ maọbụ atọ na-eje ozi nʼụlọeze lepụtara anya lee ya anya.
33 And he said to them: Throw her down headlong: and they threw her down, and the wall was sprinkled with her blood, and the hoofs of the horses trod upon her.
Jehu nyere ha iwu sị ha, “Tụdanụ ya nʼala.” Ya mere, ha si nʼelu ebe ahụ tụda ya nʼala. Mgbe ọ daruru ala, ọbara ya fesasịrị nʼahụ mgbidi ụlọ na nʼahụ ịnyịnya ndị ji ụkwụ ha zọjaa ya.
34 And when he was come in, to eat, and to drink, he said: Go, and see after that cursed woman, and bury her: because she is a king’s daughter.
Jehu banyere nọ nʼime ụlọeze rie ihe, ṅụkwaa ihe ọṅụṅụ. Emesịa, o nyere iwu sị, “Leenụ nwanyị a a bụrụ ọnụ; burunu ya gaa lie ya, nʼihi na ọ bụ ada eze.”
35 And when they went to bury her, they found nothing but the skull, and the feet, and the extremities of her hands.
Mgbe ha pụtara ili ya, ọ bụ naanị okpokoro isi ya na ọkpụkpụ ụkwụ ya abụọ, na aka ya abụọ ka ha hụrụ. Ha ahụkwaghị anụ ahụ ya.
36 And coming back they told him. And Jehu said: It is the word of the Lord, which he spoke by his servant Elias the Thesbite, saying: In the field of Jezrahel the dogs shall eat the flesh of Jezabel,
Ha laghachiri gwa Jehu ihe ha hụrụ. Ọ zara sị ha, “Nke a bụ okwu Onyenwe anyị, nke o kwuru site nʼọnụ ohu ya Ịlaịja onye Tishbe sị: ‘Nʼala ubi dị na Jezril ka nkịta ga-anọ rie anụ ahụ Jezebel.
37 And the flesh of Jezabel shall be as dung upon the face of the earth in the field of Jezrahel, so that they who pass by shall say: Is this that same Jezabel?
Ozu Jezebel ga-adị ka unyi nʼala ubi dị na Jezril, ruo na mmadụ enweghị ike ikwupụta sị, Nke a bụ Jezebel.’”
