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:
Elsaaʼi raajichi ilmaan raajotaa keessaa nama tokko waamee akkana jedheen; “Mudhii kee hidhadhuutii bilqaaxxii zayitii kana fuudhii Raamooti Giliʼaad dhaqi.
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;
Yeroo achi geessutti Yehuu ilma Yehooshaafaax ilma Nimshii sana barbaadi. Gara isaa dhaqiitii miiltota isaa biraa isa fuudhiitii diinqatti isa galchi.
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.
Ergasii bilqaaxxii sana fuudhii zayitii sana mataa isaatti naqiitii, ‘Waaqayyo akkana jedha: Ani Israaʼel irratti mootii godhee si dibeera.’ Ergasii balbala banadhuutii fiigi malee hin turin!”
4 So the young man, the disciple of the prophet, went to Ramoth-gil'ad.
Kanaafuu raajichi dargaggeessi sun kaʼee Raamooti Giliʼaad dhaqe.
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.
Yommuu achi gaʼettis ajajjoota loltootaa kanneen walitti qabamanii tataaʼan arge. Innis, “Yaa ajajaa, ani ergaa siif qaba” jedhe. Yehuun immoo, “Nu keessaa, ati eenyuuf ergaa qabda?” jedhee gaafate. Innis, “Yaa ajajaa, siʼiif” jedhee deebise.
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.
Yehuun kaʼee mana ol seene. Raajichi sun mataa Yehuutti zayitii naqee akkana jedheen; “Waaqayyo Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedha; ‘Ani saba Waaqayyoo, Israaʼel irratti mootii godhee sin diba.
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.
Ati mana gooftaa keetii mana Ahaab balleessuu qabda; anis dhiiga garboota koo raajotaatii fi dhiiga garboota Waaqayyoo kanneen Iizaabel dhangalaafte hunda haaloo nan baasa.
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;
Manni Ahaab guutumaan guutuutti ni bada. Ani dhiira maatii Ahaab kanneen Israaʼel keessatti hafan hunda garbas taʼu birmaduu nan balleessa.
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;
Ani mana Ahaab akkuma mana Yerobiʼaam ilma Nebaatii fi akkuma mana Baʼishaan ilma Ahiiyaa sanaa nan godha.
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.
Iizaabelin immoo sarootatu biyya Yizriʼeel keessatti nyaata; namni tokko iyyuu ishee hin awwaalu.’” Innis ergasii balbala banatee fiige.
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.
Yehuun gara ajajjuuwwan isa wajjin turan sanaatti gad baanaan isaan keessaa namni tokko, “Wanni hundi nagumaa? Namichi maraatuun kun maaliif si bira dhufe?” jedhee isa gaafate. Yehuunis, “Ati namichaa fi waan inni dubbate ni beekta” jedhee deebiseef.
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.
Isaanis, “Kun dhugaa miti! Nutti himi” jedhaniin. Yehuun, “Wanni inni natti hime kanaa dha; ‘Waaqayyo akkana jedha: Ani Israaʼel irratti mootii godhee si dibeera’” jedhee deebiseef.
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.
Isaan dafanii wayyaa isaanii of irraa fuudhanii gulantaawwan duwwaa irra isa jala afan. Ergasii immoo malakata afuufanii, “Yehuun mootii dha!” jedhan.
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.
Kanaafuu Yehuun ilmi Yehooshaafaax ilmi Nimshii Yooraamitti malate. Yeroo sanatti Yooraamii fi Israaʼel hundi Raamooti Giliʼaad irraa Hazaaʼeel mooticha Sooriyaa eegaa turan;
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.
Yehooraam mootichi garuu madaa warri Arraam yeroo inni Hazaaʼeel mooticha Arraamiitiin wal loletti isa madeessan sanaaf walʼaansa argachuuf jedhee Yizriʼeelitti deebiʼee ture. Yehuun, “Yoo yaadni kee kana taʼe, akka namni tokko iyyuu magaalaa keessaa gad baʼee dhaqee oduu kana Yizriʼeel keessatti odeessu hin eeyyamin” jedhe.
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.
Innis ergasii gaarii isaa seenee sababii Yooraam achitti boqochaa jiruu fi sababii Ahaaziyaa mootichi Yihuudaa isa arguuf gad buʼeef Yizriʼeelitti qajeele.
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?
Eegduun gamoo eegumsaa kan Yizriʼeel keessaa irra dhaabachaa ture sun yommuu loltoota Yehuu kanneen dhufaa jiran argetti, “Ani loltoota dhufaa jiran tokkon arga” jedhee iyye. Yehooraamis, “Abbaa fardaa tokko waamiitii akka inni isaanitti gad baʼee, ‘Isin naguma dhuftanii?’ jedhee isaan gaafatuuf itti ergi” jedhee ajaje.
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.
Abbaan fardaa sunis Yehuu arguuf gulufee dhaqee, “Mootichi, ‘Isin naguma dhuftanii?’ jedha” jedheen. Yehuun immoo, “Ati nagaa irraa maal qabda? Garagaliitii na duukaa buʼi” jedhee deebise. Eegduun sunis, “Ergamaan isaan bira gaʼeera; garuu as hin deebine” jedhee hime.
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.
Kanaafuu mootichi abbaa fardaa lammaffaa erge. Innis gara isaanii dhaqee, “Mootichi, ‘Isin naguma dhuftanii?’ jedha” jedheen. Yehuun immoo, “Ati nagaa irraa maal qabda? Garagaliitii na duukaa buʼi” jedhee deebise.
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.
Eegduun sunis, “Inni isaan bira gaʼeera; garuu as hin deebine. Oofichi isaa akkuma ooficha Yehuu ilma Nimshii sanaa ti; inni akkuma nama maraate tokkootti oofaatii” jedhee hime.
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.
Kana irrati Yehooraam, “Gaarii koo naa qopheessaa” jedhee ajaje. Erga gaariin qopheeffamee booddee Yehooraam mootichi Israaʼelii fi Ahaaziyaan mootichi Yihuudaa, tokkoon tokkoon isaanii gaarii isaanii yaabbatanii Yehuu simachuu dhaqan. Isaanis lafa qotiisaa Naabot namicha Yizriʼeel sanaa keessatti isa argatan.
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?
Yehooraam yommuu Yehuu argetti, “Iyyuu, ati naguma dhuftee?” jedhee gaafate. Yehuun immoo, “Hamma sagaagalummaa fi falfalli haadha kee Iizaabel biyya guutee jirutti nagaa maaltu jiraachuu dandaʼa?” jedhee deebise.
23 And Jehoram turned about, and fled, and said to Achazyahu, Treachery, Achazyahu.
Yehooraam of irra garagalee Ahaaziyaadhaan, “Yaa Ahaaziyaa, wanni kun maltummaa dha!” jedhee baqate.
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.
Yehuun xiyya isaa darbatee gatiittii Yehooraam gidduu waraane; xiyyi sunis onnee isaa keessa fullaʼe; innis gaarii isaa keessatti kufe.
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:
Yehuunis ajajaa gaarii isaa Bidqaariin akkana jedhe; “Isa fuudhiitii lafa qotiisaa Naabot namicha Yizriʼeel sanaa keessatti gati. Akka Waaqayyo gaafa anii fi ati gaariidhaan Ahaab abbaa isaa duubaan gulufaa turre sana akkana jedhee waaʼee isaa raajii dubbate yaadadhu:
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.
‘Ani kaleessa dhiiga Naabotiitii fi dhiiga ilmaan isaa argeera, jedha Waaqayyo; ani dhugumaan akka ati gatii dhiiga sanaa lafa qotiisaa sana irratti baaftu nan godha’ jedha Waaqayyo. Egaa amma isa fuudhiitii akkuma dubbii Waaqayyootti lafa qotiisaa sana keessatti isa gati.”
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.
Ahaaziyaa mootichi Yihuudaa yommuu waan kana argetti karaa Beet Hagaanitti geessuun baqate. Yehuun, “Isas ajjeesaa!” jedhee iyyaa isa ariʼe. Isaanis karaa Guuritti geessu irratti Yibleʼaam biratti isa madeessan; inni garuu Megidootti baqatee achitti duʼe.
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.
Tajaajiltoonni isaa gaariidhaan Yerusaalemitti isa geessanii awwaala isaa kan Magaalaa Daawit keessaatti abbootii isaa biratti isa awwaalan.
29 And in the eleventh year of Joram the son of Achab became Achazyah king over Judah.
Bara Yooraam ilma Ahaab keessa waggaa kudha tokkoffaatti Ahaaziyaan mootii Yihuudaa taʼe.
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.
Ergasii Yehuun kaʼee Yizriʼeel dhaqe. Iizaabel yommuu waan kana dhageessetti ija ishee kuulattee mataa dhaʼattee foddaa keessaan ala ilaalte.
31 And as Jehu entered in at the gate, she said, Is it peace, O Zimri, who hath slain his master?
Akkuma Yehuun karraan ol seeneen Iizaabel, “Zimrii, ati namichi gooftaa kee ajjeefte naguma dhuftee?” jetteen.
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.
Innis foddaa sana keessaan ol ilaalee, “Eenyutu na bira jira? Eenyuu dha?” jedhe. Xuʼaashiiwwan lama yookaan sadii taʼan gara isaa gad ilaalan.
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.
Yehuun, “Ishee gad darbadhaa!” jedheen. Kanaafuu isaan gad ishee darbatan; akkasiin dhiigni ishee keenyan manaatii fi fardeen kotteedhaan ishee irra yaaʼan sanatti faffacaʼe.
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.
Yehuun ol seenee waa nyaatee dhuge. Innis, “Dubartii abaaramtuu kana fuudhaatii awwaalaa; isheen intala mootii turteetii” jedhe.
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.
Isaan garuu yeroo ishee awwaaluuf gad baʼanitti buqqee mataa ishee, harkaa fi miilla ishee malee waan tokko illee hin argine.
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:
Isaanis deebiʼanii Yehuutti himan; innis akkana jedhe; “Kun dubbii Waaqayyo karaa garbicha isaa Eeliyaas namicha Tishbii sanaatiin akkana jedhee dubbatee dha: Lafa qotiisaa Yizriʼeel keessaa tokko irratti saroonni foon Iizaabel ni nyaatu.
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.
Reeffi Iizaabelis akka namni tokko iyyuu, ‘Kun Iizaabel’ jechuu hin dandeenyeef lafa qotiisaa Yizriʼeel keessaa tokko irratti akkuma kosii taʼa.”
