< 2 Kings 9 >

1 Elisha the prophet called one of the sons of the prophets and told him, “Put your cloak into your belt, take this flask of olive oil, and go to Ramoth-gilead.
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.
2 Once you get there, look for Jehu, son of Jehoshaphat, son of Nimshi. Go in, get him away from his companions, and take him to an inner room. Get him to leave his friends, lead him to a private room,
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.
3 take the flask of olive oil, and pour it on his head. Tell him, ‘This is what the Lord says: I anoint you king of Israel.’ Then open the door and run away! Don't wait around!”
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.
4 So the young prophet went to Ramoth-gilead.
Te dongah tonghma tueihyoeih cadong tah Ramothgilead la cet.
5 When he arrived, he saw the army commanders sitting around. “I've got a message for you, commander,” he said. “For which one of us?” Jehu asked. “For you, commander,” he replied.
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.
6 Jehu got up and went inside, where the young prophet poured the olive oil on his head and announced to him, “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: ‘I anoint you king over the Lord's people Israel.
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.
7 You are going to destroy the family of Ahab, your master. You will avenge the blood my prophets and the blood of all the Lord's servants killed by Jezebel.
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.
8 The whole house of Ahab will be eradicated—I will destroy all the males of Ahab's family in Israel, both slave and free.
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.
9 I will make the house of Ahab like the house of Jeroboam, son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha, son of Ahijah.
Ahab imkhui te Nebat capa Jeroboam imkhui bangla, Ahijah capa Baasha imkhui bangla ka saii ni.
10 Dogs will eat Jezebel, Ahab's wife, at the plot of ground in Jezreel, and no one will bury her.” Then the young prophet opened the door and ran away.
Jezebel te ui loh Jezreel khoyo ah a ngaeh vetih up uh mahpawh,” a ti nah. Te phoeiah thohkhaih te a ong tih rhaelrham.
11 When Jehu went back out to the other officers of his master, they asked him, “Is everything fine? Why did this crazy man come to you?” “You know what he's like, and how he goes on and on,” he replied.
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.
12 “Liar!” they said. “Please tell us what's going on.” “Well, he talked to me about this and that, and he told me, ‘This is what the Lord says: I anoint you king over Israel.’”
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.
13 They quickly grabbed their cloaks and spread them on the bare steps. They blew the trumpet and shouted, “Jehu is king!”
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.
14 So Jehu, son of Jehoshaphat, son of Nimshi, plotted rebellion against Joram. Joram and the whole Israelite army had been defending Ramoth-Gilead against Hazael, king of Aram.
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.
15 But Joram had returned to Jezreel to recover from the wounds he'd received fighting against Hazael, king of Aram. So Jehu said, “If you commanders want to make me king, don't let anyone leave town and go and announce it in Jezreel.”
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.
16 Jehu got on his chariot and went to Jezreel, for Joram was recuperating there. Ahaziah, king of Judah, was there too because he had come to visit Joram.
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.
17 The watchman on the tower in Jezreel saw Jehu's soldiers approaching, and he shouted out, “I see a soldiers coming!” “Choose a horseman,” Joram ordered. “Send him out to meet them and ask, ‘Do you come in peace?’”
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.
18 So a horseman rode off to meet Jehu, and said, “This is what the king asks: ‘Do you come in peace?’” “What has peace got to do with you?” Jehu replied. “Turn around and follow me.” The watchman reported, “The messenger has reached them, but he's not returning.”
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.
19 The king sent out a second horseman. He went up to them and said, “This is what the king asks: ‘Do you come in peace?’” “What has peace got to do with you?” Jehu replied. “Turn around and follow me.”
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.
20 The watchman reported, “The messenger has reached them, but he's not returning. The driving looks like the driving of Jehu, son of Nimshi—he's a crazy driver!”
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.
21 “Prepare my chariot!” Joram shouted, and they had his chariot ready. Then Joram, king of Israel, and Ahaziah, king of Judah, set off in their separate chariots, and met Jehu on the plot of ground that was previously owned by Naboth from Jezreel.
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.
22 When Joram saw Jehu, he asked him, “Do you come in peace, Jehu?” “What peace can there be with so much prostitution and witchcraft caused by your mother Jezebel?” Jehu replied.
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.
23 Joram turned around and raced away, shouting out to Ahaziah, “It's treason, Ahaziah!”
Jehoram te a kut a palet doela rhaelrham tih Ahaziah te, “Ahaziah hlangthai palat,” a ti nah.
24 Jehu picked up his bow and shot Joram between the shoulders. The arrow went through his heart and he collapsed dead in his chariot.
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.
25 Jehu said to Bidkar his officer, “Pick him up and throw him into the field of Naboth from Jezreel. Remember when you and I were riding together behind his father Ahab how the Lord made this prophecy against him:
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.
26 ‘In the same way as I saw the blood of Naboth and the blood of his sons yesterday, says the Lord, so I will certainly repay you on this same plot of ground, says the Lord.’ Now then, following what the Lord has said, pick him up and throw him on the plot of ground.”
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.
27 When Ahaziah, king of Judah, saw what happened, he raced up the road toward Beth-haggan. But Jehu chased after him, shouting, “Shoot him too!” So they shot Ahaziah in his chariot on the way up to Gur, near Ibleam. He managed to escape to Megiddo but he died there.
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.
28 His servants took him by chariot to Jerusalem and buried him with his forefathers in his tomb in the City of David.
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.
29 Ahaziah became king of Judah in the eleventh year of the reign of Joram, son of Ahab.
Ahab capa Joram kah kum hlai khat kum vaengah Ahaziah te Judah soah manghai.
30 When Jezebel heard that Jehu had arrived in Jezreel, she put on her black eye-shadow, placed jewelry in her hair, and watched from a window.
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.
31 As Jehu came in through the gate, she shouted down, “Do you come in peace? Or are you like Zimri, a murderer of your master?”
Jehu te vongka lamloh a kun van neh, “A boei aka ngawn Zimri a sading a?” a ti nah.
32 Jehu looked up at the window and shouted out, “Who is on my side? Anyone?” Two or three eunuchs looked down at him.
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.
33 “Throw her down!” he shouted. And they threw her down. Her blood spattered on the wall and on the horses which then trampled her.
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.
34 Jehu went inside and ate and drank. Then he said, “Please deal with that cursed woman and bury her, for she was a king's daughter.”
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.
35 They went out to bury her but all they found were her skull, her feet, and her hands.
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.
36 They went back and told Jehu, who said, “This is what the Lord said through his servant Elijah the Tishbite: ‘Dogs will eat Jezebel's flesh on the plot of ground at Jezreel.
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.
37 Jezebel's body will lie like manure in the field on the plot of ground at Jezreel, so that no one can say: This is where Jezebel is buried.’”
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.
