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 flask of oil in thy hand, and go to Ramoth-gil'ad:
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 for Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi, and go in, and cause him to stand up from the midst of his brethren, and bring him in to the innermost chamber;
Cumque veneris illuc, videbis Iehu filium Iosaphat filii Namsi: et ingressus suscitabis eum de medio fratrum suorum, et introduces in interius cubiculum.
3 And thou shalt then take the flask of oil, and pour it on his head, and say, Thus hath said the Lord, I have anointed thee as king over Israel. Then must thou open the door, and flee, and not wait for any thing.
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 So the young man, the disciple of the prophet, went to Ramoth-gil'ad.
Abiit ergo adolescens puer prophetæ in Ramoth Galaad,
5 And when he came, behold, the captains of the army were sitting; and he said, I have a word for thee, O captain. And Jehu said, For whom of all of us? And he said, For thee, O 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 arose, and went into the house: and he poured the oil on his head, and said unto him, Thus hath said the Lord the God of Israel, I anoint thee as king over the people of the Lord, 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 Achab 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 Izebel.
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 Achab shall perish: and I will cut off from Achab every male, and the guarded and fortified 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 Achab like the house of Jerobo'am the son of Nebat, and like the house of Ba'sha the son of Achiyah;
Et dabo domum Achab, sicut domum Ieroboam filii Nabat, et sicut domum Baasa filii Ahia.
10 And Izebel shall the dogs eat in the field of Yizre'el, with none to bury her. And he [then] opened the door, and fled.
Iezabel quoque comedent canes in agro Iezrahel, nec erit qui sepeliat eam. Aperuitque ostium, et fugit.
11 But Jehu came forth to the servants of his Lord: and one said unto him, Is all well? wherefore came this madman to thee? And he said unto them, Ye yourselves know the man, and his talk.
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: only tell us, we pray thee. And he said, So and so did he speak to me, saying, Thus hath said the Lord, I anoint thee as 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 hastened, and they took every man his garment, and put it under him on the top of the stairs; and they blew the cornet, saying, 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 So Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi conspired against Joram. (Now Joram had kept guard at Ramoth-gil'ad, he and all Israel, because of Chazael the 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 But king Jehoram was returned to be healed in Yizre'el of the wounds which the Syrians had inflicted on him, when he was fighting with Chazael the king of Syria.) And Jehu said, If this be your mind, then let none that escapeth go forth out of the city to go to tell it in Yizre'el.
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 So Jehu rode in a chariot, and went to Yizre'el; for Joram was lying there. And Achazyah the king of Judah was 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 Yizre'el, and he saw the company of Jehu as he came; and he said, A company do I see, And Jehoram said, Take a horseman, and send out 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 riding on horseback to meet him, and said, Thus hath said the king, Is it peace? And Jehu said, What hast thou to do with peace? turn thee about behind me. And the watchman told, saying, The messenger came up to them, but he hath not returned.
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 Then sent he out a second rider on horseback, who came to them, and said, Thus hath said the king, Is it peace? And Jehu answered, What hast thou to do with peace? turn thee about 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 up to them, but he hath not returned: and the driving is like the driving of Jehu the son of Nimshi; for he driveth as though he were mad.
Nunciavit autem speculator, dicens: Venit usque ad eos, et non revertitur: est autem incessus quasi incessus Iehu filii Namsi, præceps enim graditur.
21 And Jehoram said, Harness up. And his chariot was harnessed up. And Jehoram the king of Israel and Achazyahu the king of Judah went out, each in his chariot, and they went out to meet Jehu, and found him in the portion of land of Naboth the Yizre'elite.
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 Jehoram saw Jehu, that he said, Is it peace, Jehu? And he said, What peace can there be with the acts of incest of thy mother Izebel and her many witchcrafts?
Cumque vidisset Ioram Iehu, dixit: Pax est Iehu? At ille respondit: Quæ pax? Adhuc fornicationes Iezabel matris tuæ, et veneficia eius multa vigent.
23 And Jehoram turned about, and fled, and said to Achazyahu, Treachery, Achazyahu.
Convertit autem Ioram manum suam, et fugiens ait ad Ochoziam: Insidiæ Ochozia.
24 And Jehu grasped the bow with his full strength, and struck Jehoram between his arms, and the arrow went out at his heart, and he sunk 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 Then said he to Bidkar his officer, Lift up, [and] cast him down in the part of the field that was Naboth's the Yizre'elite; for remember how that I and thou rode alongside each other after Achab his father, when the Lord pronounced over him this fatal decree:
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 Surely I have seen yesterday the blood of Naboth, and the blood of his sons, saith the Lord; and I will repay thee in this part of the field, saith the Lord. And now lift up, [and] cast him down into the field, according to the word of the Lord.
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 And when Achazyahu the king of Judah saw this, he fled by the way of the garden-house; but Jehu pursued after him, and said, Also him smite in the chariot. [And they did so] on the ascent to Gur, which is by Yible'am. 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 Achab became Achazyah king over Judah.
Anno undecimo Ioram filii Achab, regnavit Ochozias super Iudam,
30 And Jehu came to Yizre'el; and when Izebel heard of it, she painted her eyes, and ornamented 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 as Jehu entered in at the gate, she said, Is it peace, O Zimri, who hath slain 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 there looked out to him two or three chamberlains.
Levavitque Iehu faciem suam ad fenestram, et ait: Quæ est ista? Et inclinaverunt se ad eum duo, vel tres eunuchi.
33 And he said, Pitch her down. So they pitched her down: and some of her blood was sprinkled on the wall, and on the horses; and he trod her under foot.
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 then said he, Look, I pray you, after this accursed one, 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 nothing of her but 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 returned, and told him; and he said, It is the word of the Lord, which he spoke by means of his servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, In the field of Yizre'el shall the dogs eat the flesh of Izebel:
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 carcass of Izebel shall be as dung upon the face of the field in the portion of Yizre'el; so that they shall not say, This is Izebel.
et erunt carnes Iezabel sicut stercus super faciem terræ in agro Iezrahel, ita ut prætereuntes dicant: Hæccine est illa Iezabel?
