2 Kings 9
1 And Elisha the prophet called one of the children of the prophets, and said unto him, Gird up thy loins, and take this box of oil in thine 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 thou comest thither, look out there Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi, and go in, and make him arise up from among his brethren, and carry him to an inner chamber;
Bw’otuuka eyo, onoonye Yeeku mutabani wa Yekosafaati, muzzukulu wa Nimusi, omuggye mu banne, omutwale mu kisenge eky’omunda.
3 Then take the box of oil, and pour it on his head, and say, Thus saith Yhwh, I have anointed thee king over Israel. Then open the door, and flee, and tarry not.
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 man, even the young man the prophet, went to Ramoth–gilead.
Awo omuvubuka nnabbi n’agenda e Lamosugireyaadi.
5 And when he came, behold, the captains of the host were sitting; and he said, I have an errand to thee, O captain. And Jehu said, Unto which of all us? And he said, To thee, 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 arose, and went into the house; and he poured the oil on his head, and said unto him, Thus saith Yhwh God of Israel, I have anointed thee king over the people of Yhwh, even 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 And thou shalt smite the house of Ahab thy master, that I may avenge the blood of my servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of Yhwh, at the hand of Jezebel.
Olizikiriza ennyumba ya Akabu mukama wo, nga mpalana eggwanga olw’omusaayi gw’abaddu ba Mukama bonna, Yezeberi gwe yayiwa.
8 For the whole house of Ahab shall perish: and I will cut off from Ahab him that pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up and left in Israel:
Ennyumba yonna eya Akabu erisaanyizibwawo, era ndizikiririza ddala buli mwana wabulenzi, oba muddu oba wa ddembe mu Isirayiri.
9 And I will make the house of Ahab like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of 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 the dogs shall eat Jezebel in the portion of Jezreel, and there shall be none to bury her. And he opened the door, and fled.
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 forth to the servants of his lord: and one said unto him, Is all well? wherefore came this mad fellow to thee? And he said unto them, Ye know the man, and his communication.
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, It is false; tell us now. And he said, Thus and thus spake he to me, saying, Thus saith Yhwh, I have anointed thee 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 they hasted, and took every man his garment, and put it under him on the top of the stairs, and blew with trumpets, saying, 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 conspired against Joram. ( Now Joram had kept Ramoth–gilead, he and all Israel, because of Hazael king of Syria.
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 was returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which the Syrians had given him, when he fought with Hazael king of Syria.) And Jehu said, If it be your minds, then let none go forth nor escape out of the city to go to tell 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 rode in a chariot, and went to Jezreel; for Joram lay there. And Ahaziah king of Judah was 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 there stood a watchman on the tower in Jezreel, and he spied the company of Jehu as he came, and said, I see a company. And Joram said, Take an horseman, and send to meet 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 there went one on horseback to meet him, and 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, but he cometh not again.
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 on horseback, which came to them, and said, Thus saith the king, Is it peace? And Jehu answered, What hast thou to do with peace? turn thee behind 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 told, saying, He came even unto them, and cometh not again: and the driving is like the driving of Jehu the son of Nimshi; for he driveth furiously.
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 And Joram said, Make ready. And his chariot was made ready. And Joram king of Israel and Ahaziah king of Judah went out, each in his chariot, and they went out against Jehu, and met him in the portion 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 And it came to pass, when Joram saw Jehu, that he said, Is it peace, Jehu? And he answered, What peace, so long as the whoredoms of thy mother Jezebel and her witchcrafts are so many?
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 And Joram turned his hands, and fled, and said to Ahaziah, There is treachery, O Ahaziah.
Amangwago Yolaamu n’akyusa n’adduka, ng’akoowoola Akaziya ng’agamba nti, “Akaziya waliwo olukwe!”
24 And Jehu drew a bow with his full strength, and smote Jehoram between his arms, and the arrow went out at his heart, and he sunk down in his chariot.
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 said Jehu to Bidkar his captain, Take up, and cast him in the portion of the field of Naboth the Jezreelite: for remember how that, when I and thou rode together after Ahab his father, Yhwh laid this burden upon him;
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 Surely I have seen yesterday the blood of Naboth, and the blood of his sons, saith Yhwh; and I will requite thee in this plat, saith Yhwh. Now therefore take and cast him into the plat of ground, according to the word of Yhwh.
‘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 But when Ahaziah the king of Judah saw this, he fled by the way of the garden house. And Jehu followed after him, and said, Smite him also in the chariot. And they did so at the going up to Gur, which is by Ibleam. And he fled to Megiddo, and died there.
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 carried him in a chariot to Jerusalem, and buried him in his sepulchre with his fathers in the city 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 And in the eleventh year of Joram the son of Ahab began Ahaziah to reign 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 was come to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it; and she painted her face, and tired her head, and looked out at a 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 as Jehu entered in at the gate, she said, Had Zimri peace, who slew his master?
Awo Yeeku bwe yali ng’ayingirira mu wankaaki, Yezeberi n’amubuuza nti, “Ojja mirembe, ggwe Zimuli, eyatemula mukama wo?”
32 And he lifted up his face to the window, and said, Who is on my side? who? And there looked out to him two or three eunuchs.
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, Throw her down. So they threw her down: and some of her blood was sprinkled on the wall, and on the horses: and he trode her under foot.
N’ayogera nti, “Mumusuule wansi!” Ne bamusuula wansi, n’omusaayi gwe ogumu ne gumansukira ekisenge ne ku mbalaasi, n’okumulinyirira ne zimulinnyirira.
34 And when he was come in, he did eat and drink, and said, Go, see now this cursed woman, and bury her: 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 to bury her: but they found no more of her than the skull, and the feet, and the palms of her hands.
Naye bwe bagutuukako, tebaalina kye basangawo okuggyako akawanga ke, n’ebigere bye, n’ebibatu by’emikono gye.
36 Wherefore they came again, and told him. And he said, This is the word of Yhwh, which he spake by his servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, In the portion of Jezreel shall dogs eat the flesh of Jezebel:
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 carcase of Jezebel shall be as dung upon the face of the field in the portion of Jezreel; so that they shall not 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.’”
