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:
Nyagblɔɖila Elisa yɔ nyagblɔɖilawo ƒe nusrɔ̃lawo dometɔ ɖeka eye wògblɔ nɛ be, “Tsɔ alidziblaka bla wò awu ʋlaya dzi, tsɔ amigoe sia ɖe asi eye nàyi Ramot Gilead.
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;
Ne èɖo afi ma la, di Yehu, Yehosafat ƒe vi, Nimsi ƒe vi, yi ɖe egbɔ nàkplɔe dzoe le nɔviawo dome eye nàkplɔe age ɖe xɔ gã mee.
3 Then take the box of oil, and pour [it] on his head, and say, Thus saith the LORD, I have anointed thee king over Israel. Then open the door, and flee, and tarry not.
Ekema tsɔ amigoe la eye nàkɔ ami la ɖe eƒe tame agblɔ be, ‘Ale Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: mesi ami na wò, ɖo wò fiae ɖe Israel dzi.’ Ekema nàʋu ʋɔa eye nàlé du atsɔ, mègatɔ o!”
4 So the young man, [even] the young man the prophet, went to Ramoth-gilead.
Nyagblɔɖilawo ƒe nusrɔ̃la la wɔ nu si wògblɔ nɛ. Esi wòva ɖo Ramot Gilead la,
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.
ekpɔ Yehu wònɔ anyi ɖe ehati asrafomegãwo dome. Egblɔ nɛ be, “Nya aɖe le asinye na wò.” Yehu biae be, “Na mía dometɔ ka?” Nusrɔ̃la la ɖo eŋu be, “Na wò, Yehu.”
6 And he arose, and went into the house; and he poured the oil on his head, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, I have anointed thee king over the people of the LORD, [even] over Israel.
Ale Yehu dzo le ehatiwo dome heyi aƒea me. Nusrɔ̃la la kɔ ami la ɖe tame nɛ eye wògblɔ nɛ be, “Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu la gblɔ be, ‘Mesi ami na wò eye meɖo wò fiae ɖe Yehowa ƒe dukɔ, Israel nu.
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 the LORD, at the hand of Jezebel.
Ele be nàtsrɔ̃ Ahab ƒe ƒometɔwo eye nàbia nye nyagblɔɖilawo kple ame siwo Yezebel wu la ƒe hlɔ̃.
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:
Ele be nàtsrɔ̃ Ahab ƒe ƒometɔwo katã; àtsrɔ̃ ŋutsu ɖe sia ɖe le Israel, ame ka kee wònye hã ele be nàtsrɔ̃e.’
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:
Matsrɔ̃ Ahab ƒe ƒome la abe ale si metsrɔ̃ Yeroboam, Nebat ƒe vi kple Baasa, Ahiya ƒe vi ƒe ƒomewo ene.
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.
Avuwo aɖu Ahab srɔ̃, Yezebel le Yezreel eye ame aɖeke maɖii o!” Esia megbe la, nusrɔ̃la la ʋu ʋɔa eye wòsi dzo.
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.
Yehu trɔ yi xɔlɔ̃awo gbɔ eye wo dometɔ ɖeka biae be, “Nu ka dim aɖaʋatɔ ma le? Nya kae dzɔ?” Yehu ɖo eŋu be, “Mienya ame si wònye kple nu si dim wòle la nyuie.”
12 And they said, [It is] false; tell us now. And he said, Thus and thus spake he to me, saying, Thus saith the LORD, I have anointed thee king over Israel.
Woɖo eŋu be, “Ao, míenya o, gblɔe na mí.” “Egblɔ nya si nusrɔ̃la la gblɔ nɛ la na wo eye wòna wonya be woɖo ye fiae ɖe Israel nu!”
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.
Enumake wotsɔ woƒe awuwo ɖo ɖe atrakpuiawo dzi, woku kpẽ eye wodo ɣli be, “Yehu zu fia!”
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.
Aleae Yehu, Yehosafat ƒe vi kple Nimsi ƒe tɔgbuiyɔvi dze aglãe ɖe fia Yoram ŋu. (Ke Yoram kple Israel blibo la nɔ ŋudzɔ na Aram fia Hazael le Ramot Gilead.
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.
Emegbe Fia Yoram trɔ va Yezreel be woada gbe le abi si Arameatɔwo de eŋu le aʋa la wɔwɔ me kple Aram fia Hazael la nɛ.) Yehu gblɔ na ame siwo nɔ egbɔ la be, “Esi miedi be maɖu fia la, migana ame aɖeke nasi ayi Yezreel aɖagblɔ nu si míewɔ la o.”
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.
Yehu ge ɖe tasiaɖam me enumake eye eya ŋutɔ yi Yezreel be yeaɖadi Fia Yoram, ame si xɔ abi eye wòmlɔ afi ma. Yuda fia Ahazia hã va afi ma be yeakpɔ Fia Yoram ɖa.
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?
Dzɔla si nɔ Fia Yehoram ƒe gbetakpɔxɔ dzi la kpɔ Yehu kple eƒe amewo gbɔna ɖa eye wòdo ɣli be, “Ame aɖe gbɔna!” Fia Yehoram ɖe gbe be, “Dɔ sɔdola aɖe ɖa wòakpɔe ɖa be xɔlɔ̃e loo alo futɔe hã.”
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.
Ale asrafo aɖe do sɔ yi ɖakpe Yehu hegblɔ nɛ be, “Fia la di be yeanya nenye xɔlɔ̃e nènye loo alo futɔe nènye. Ŋutifafa mee nèva lea?” Yehu ɖo eŋu be, “Nu ka nènya tso ŋutifafa ŋu? Dze yonyeme.” Dzɔla la do ɣli gblɔ na fia la be ame dɔdɔ la yi ɖakpee gake mele gbɔgbɔm o.
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.
Ale fia la gaɖo sɔdola bubu ɖa. Eyi ɖatu wo eye wògblɔ na wo be, “Ale fia la gblɔe nye esi, ‘Ŋutifafa dzie mielea?’” Yehu ɖo eŋu be, “Ŋutifafanya kae tsɔ gbɔwò? Va, dze yonyeme!”
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.
Dzɔla la gado ɣli be, “Eya hã mele gbɔgbɔm o! Yehu kokoko wòanye elabena eƒe tasiaɖam le du ƒum sesĩe.”
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.
Fia Yoram ɖe gbe be, “Netsɔ, midzra nye tasiaɖam ɖo nam!” Ale eya kple Yuda fia, Ahazia woyi ɖado go Yehu le Nabɔt ƒe agble me.
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?
Fia Yehoram biae be, “Yehu, ŋutifafa dzie nèlea?” Yehu ɖo eŋu be, “Zi ale si dawò Yezebel ƒe trɔ̃subɔsubɔ kple adzewɔwɔ gale mía dome kokoko la, aleke ŋutifafa ate ŋu anɔ anyi?”
23 And Joram turned his hands, and fled, and said to Ahaziah, [There is] treachery, O Ahaziah.
Fia Yoram trɔ eƒe tasiaɖam la kaba eye wòsi dzo yina. Edo ɣli gblɔ na Fia Ahazia be, “Ahazia, nugbeɖoɖoe!”
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.
Tete Yehu he eƒe da me kple eƒe ŋusẽ katã eye wòte Yehoram ƒe megbe kpam. Aŋutrɔ la ŋɔe yi ɖatɔ eƒe dzi eye wòmu dze tasiaɖam la me heku.
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, the LORD laid this burden upon him;
Yehu gblɔ na Bidkar, ame si nye eƒe tasiaɖamkula gã be, “Kɔe eye nàtsɔe aƒu gbe ɖe Yezreeltɔ Nabɔt ƒe agble me. Ɖo ŋku ale si nye kpli wò míenɔ tasiaɖamwo me nɔ fofoa Ahab megbe esi Yehowa ƒe nyagblɔɖi sia va ku ɖe eŋuti be,
26 Surely I have seen yesterday the blood of Naboth, and the blood of his sons, saith the LORD; and I will requite thee in this plat, saith the LORD. Now therefore take [and] cast him into the plat [of ground], according to the word of the LORD.
‘Etsɔ si va yi la mekpɔ Nabɔt ƒe ʋu kple viawo ƒe ʋu. Yehowae gblɔe eye makpɔ egbɔ be, exɔ tohehe ɖe nu sia ta le anyigba sia dzi. Yehowae gblɔe.’ Eya ta azɔ la kɔe ƒu gbe ɖe anyigba ma dzi le Yehowa ƒe nya la nu.”
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.
Esi Yuda fia Ahazia kpɔ nu si va dzɔ la, esi dze Bet Hagan mɔ dzi. Yehu kplɔe ɖo nɔ ɣli dom be, “Miwu eya hã!” Ale wode abi eŋu le eƒe tasiaɖam la me le Gur si te ɖe Ibleam ŋuti la ƒe mɔ dzi, ke ete ŋu si dzo yi Megido afi si wòyi ɖaku ɖo.
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.
Eƒe dɔlawo kɔe de tasiaɖam me yi Yerusalem eye woɖii ɖe fofoawo gbɔ ɖe eƒe yɔdo me le David ƒe du la me.
29 And in the eleventh year of Joram the son of Ahab began Ahaziah to reign over Judah.
Ahazia ƒe fiaɖuɖu ɖe Yuda dzi dze egɔme le Ahab ƒe vi Yoram ƒe fiaɖuɖu ɖe Israel dzi ƒe ƒe wuiɖekɛlia me.
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.
Esi Yezebel se be Yehu va Yezreel la, ede ama eƒe aɖaba, dzra eƒe taɖa ɖo nyuie eye wòtsi tsitre ɖe fiasã la ƒe fesre ɖeka to hele mɔtata la dzi kpɔm.
31 And as Jehu entered in at the gate, she said, [Had] Zimri peace, who slew his master?
Esi Yehu ge ɖe fiasã la me la, Yezebel do ɣli ɖe eta gblɔ be, “Wò, Zimri, wò amewula, nu ka dim nèle le afi sia?”
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.
Yehu fɔ kɔ dzi, kpɔ Yezebel le fesre la nu eye wòdo ɣli bia be, “Ame kawoe le dzinye?” Ŋutsu tata eve alo etɔ̃ do mo ɖe fesre la nu kpɔe ɖo ɖa.
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.
Yehu gblɔ na wo be, “Midae ɖo ɖe anyigba!” Ale woda Yezebel to fesre la to wòge va dze anyigba. Eƒe ʋu hlẽ ɖe gli la kple sɔwo ŋu, Yehu do eƒe tasiaɖam kple sɔwo, zɔ eƒe ŋutilã kukua dzi.
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.
Ege ɖe fiasã la me heɖu nu eye wòno nu le afi ma. Le esia megbe la, egblɔ be, “Ame aɖe nayi aɖaɖi nyɔnu fiƒodeme sia elabena fia vinyɔnue.”
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.
Esi woyi be yewoaɖii la, eƒe taƒu kple eƒe afɔwo kple eƒe asiwo ko wokpɔ.
36 Wherefore they came again, and told him. And he said, This [is] the word of the LORD, which he spake by his servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, In the portion of Jezreel shall dogs eat the flesh of Jezebel:
Esi wotrɔ gbɔ va gblɔ nu siwo wokpɔ na Yehu la, egblɔ be, “Nu si tututu Yehowa gblɔ lae va eme! Egblɔ na Nyagblɔɖila Eliya be avuwo aɖu Yezebel ƒe kukua le Yezreel
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.
eye eƒe ŋutilã akaka ɖe anyigba abe ale si wokakaa aɖu ɖe agble me ene, ale be ame aɖeke mate ŋu agblɔ be Yezebel ƒe ŋutilãe nye esia o.”
