2 Kings 9
1 And Elisha the prophet has called to one of the sons of the prophets and says to him, “Gird up your loins, and take this vial of oil in your hand, and go to Ramoth-Gilead,
Emesịa, Ịlaisha onye amụma, kpọrọ otu onye nʼime ụmụ ndị amụma sị ya, “Jikere, fanye ọnụ uwe mwụda gị nʼeriri ikere nʼukwu gị, werekwa karama mmanụ oliv a nʼaka gị, bịa ka ị gaa Ramọt Gilead.
2 and you have gone in there, and see Jehu son of Jehoshaphat, son of Nimshi, there, and you have gone in, and caused him to rise out of the midst of his brothers, and brought him into the inner part of an inner-chamber,
I jeruo ebe ahụ, jee hụ Jehu nwa Jehoshafat, nwa Nimshi anya. Mee ka o bilie site nʼetiti ndị ha na ya nọ. Mekwaa ka gị na ya naanị baa nʼime ụlọ.
3 and taken the vial of oil, and poured [it] on his head, and said, Thus said YHWH: I have anointed you for king to Israel; and you have opened the door, and fled, and do not wait.”
Were karama mmanụ wụkwasị ya nʼisi gwa ya okwu sị, ‘Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru, eteela m gị mmanụ ịbụ eze Izrel.’ I mesịa, meghe ụzọ ọsịịsọ, sitekwa nʼebe ahụ gbapụ ọsọ.”
4 And the young man goes—the young man the prophet—to Ramoth-Gilead,
Nwokorobịa onye amụma ahụ gara Ramọt Gilead.
5 and comes in, and behold, chiefs of the force are sitting, and he says, “I have a word for you, O chief!” And Jehu says, “To which of all of us?” And he says, “To you, O chief.”
Mgbe o jeruru, ọ hụrụ ebe ọchịagha ahụ nọdụrụ nʼala nʼetiti ndịisi agha ibe ya. O kwuru sị, “Enwere m ozi m ga-ezi gị, ọchịagha.” Jehu jụrụ, “Ọ bụ onye nʼime anyị ka ị chọrọ izi ozi?” Ọ zara, “Ọ bụ gị ọchịagha.”
6 And he rises and comes into the house, and he pours the oil on his head, and says to him, “Thus said YHWH, God of Israel: I have anointed you for king to the people of YHWH, to Israel,
Jehu biliri baa nʼime ụlọ. Nwokorobịa onye amụma ahụ wụkwasịrị ya mmanụ nʼisi, sị ya, “Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị, Chineke Izrel sịrị, ‘Eteela m gị mmanụ ịbụ eze ndị nke Onyenwe anyị, bụ Izrel.
7 and you have struck the house of your lord Ahab, and I have required the blood of My servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of YHWH, from the hand of Jezebel;
Ị ga-ekpochapụ ezinaụlọ Ehab, nna gị ukwu, aga m esi otu a bọtara onwe m ọbọ, nʼihi ọbara ndị ohu m, bụ ndị amụma na ọbara ndị ozi Onyenwe anyị niile Jezebel wufuru.
8 and all the house of Ahab has perished, and I have cut off from Ahab those sitting on the wall, and restrained, and left, in Israel,
Ezinaụlọ Ehab ga-abụ ihe lara nʼiyi. Nʼala Izrel, m ga-esite nʼezinaụlọ Ehab bipụ ndị ikom niile, maọbụ ohu maọbụ onye nwe onwe ya.
9 and I have given up the house of Ahab like the house of Jeroboam son of Nebat, and as the house of Baasha son of Ahijah,
M ga-ala ụlọ Ehab nʼiyi, ka m si laa ezinaụlọ Jeroboam nwa Nebat nʼiyi, na dịka m si lakwaa ezinaụlọ Baasha, nwa Ahija nʼiyi.
10 and dogs eat Jezebel in the portion of Jezreel, and there is none burying”; and he opens the door and flees.
Nkịta ga-erikwa anụ Jezebel nwunye Ehab na Jezril. Ọ dịkwaghị onye ga-eli ya.’” Mgbe o kwuchara okwu ndị a, onye amụma ahụ meghere ụzọ gbapụ ọsọ.
11 And Jehu has gone out to the servants of his lord, and [one] says to him, “Is there peace? Why did this madman come to you?” And he says to them, “You have known the man and his talk.”
Jehu jekwuuru ndịisi agha ibe ya. Otu onye nʼime ha jụrụ ya sị, “Gịnị ka onye ara ahụ chọrọ bịa? Udo ọ dịkwa?” Jehu zara, “Unu maara onye ọ bụ, marakwa ụdị okwu ga-esi ya nʼọnụ pụta.”
12 And they say, “False! Declare to us now”; and he says, “He spoke thus and thus to me, saying, Thus said YHWH: I have anointed you for king to Israel.”
Ha sịrị, “Ihe i kwuru abụghị eziokwu, gwa anyị ihe o kwuru.” Jehu sịrị, “Ihe ndị a ka ọ gwara m, ‘Otu a ka a Onyenwe anyị kwuru, Eteela m gị mmanụ ịbụ eze Izrel.’”
13 And they hurry—each [one]—and take his garment, and put [it] under him at the top of the stairs, and blow with a horn, and say, “Jehu has reigned!”
Ngwangwa ha chịịrị uwe mgbokwasị ha niile doo ha nʼusoro nʼala ebe ahụ ka Jehu zọkwasị ha ụkwụ. Ha fụrụ opi ike tie mkpu sị, “Jehu bụ eze!”
14 And Jehu son of Jehoshaphat, son of Nimshi, conspires against Joram. And Joram was keeping in Ramoth-Gilead, he and all Israel, from the presence of Hazael king of Aram,
Otu a ka Jehu nwa Jehoshafat, nwa Nimshi, si gbaa izu megide Joram. (Nʼoge a, Joram na ndị Izrel niile na-eche Ramọt Gilead nche, nʼihi Hazael eze Aram.)
15 and King Joram turns back to be healed in Jezreel, of the wounds with which the Arameans strike him in his fighting with Hazael king of Aram. And Jehu says, “If it is your mind, do not let an escaped one go out from the city, to go to declare [it] in Jezreel.”
Ma Joram bụ eze, laghachitere na Jezril ebe ọ nọ ka ahụ dị ya mma maka ahụ ndị Aram merụrụ ya mgbe ya na Hazael, eze Aram lụrụ agha. Ya mere, Jehu sịrị, “Ọ bụrụ na nke a bụ uche unu, ime m eze unu, unu ekwela ka onye ọbụla si nʼobodo a gbapụ, gaa Jezril kọọ akụkọ a.”
16 And Jehu rides, and goes to Jezreel, for Joram is lying there, and Ahaziah king of Judah has gone down to see Joram.
Mgbe ahụ, Jehu wụkwasịrị nʼelu ụgbọ agha ya gbaga Jezril, nʼihi na Joram nọ nʼebe ahụ na-ezu ike. Ma Ahazaya, bụ eze Juda gakwara ileta ya.
17 And the watchman is standing on the tower in Jezreel, and sees the company of Jehu in his coming, and says, “I see a company”; and Joram says, “Take a rider and send [him] to meet them, and let him say, Is there peace?”
Mgbe onye nche nọ nʼụlọ elu Jezril hụrụ Jehu na ndị agha ya ka ha na-abịa, o tiri mkpu sị, “Lee, o nwere ndị agha na-abịa.” Joram eze Izrel nyere iwu sị, “Zipụ otu onye na-agba ịnyịnya ka ọ gaa zute ha jụọ ha sị, ‘Udo ọ dịkwa?’”
18 And the rider on the horse goes to meet him and says, “Thus said the king: Is there peace?” And Jehu says, “And what is peace to you? Turn around behind me.” And the watchman declares, saying, “The messenger came to them, and he has not returned.”
Onye ọgbaịnyịnya ahụ nọkwasịrị nʼelu ya gbapụ izute Jehu, sị, “Otu a ka eze sịrị, ‘Udo ọ dịkwa?’” Jehu zara, “Gịnị ka gị na udo nwekọrọ? Tụgharịa gaa soro m nʼazụ.” Onye nche ahụ ziri ozi sị, “Onyeozi ahụ ezutela ha, kama ọ naghị alọta.”
19 And he sends a second rider on a horse, and he comes to them and says, “Thus said the king: Is there peace?” And Jehu says, “And what is peace to you? Turn around behind me.”
Eze zipụrụ onye ọgbaịnyịnya nke abụọ. Mgbe ọ bịakwutere ha ọ sịrị, “Otu a ka eze sịrị, ‘Udo ọ dịkwa?’” Jehu zara, “Gịnị ka gị na udo nwekọrọ? Chigharịa soro m nʼazụ.”
20 And the watchman declares, saying, “He came to them, and he has not returned, and the driving [is] like the driving of Jehu son of Nimshi, for he drives with madness.”
Onye ahụ nọ na-eche nche sịrị, “Ọ garuola ha nso, ma ọ dịghị alọghachitekwa azụ. Ma ọgbụgba ịnyịnya dịka ọ bụ Jehu nwa Nimshi, nʼihi na ọ na-agba ịnyịnya ya dịka onye na-ayị ara.”
21 And Jehoram says, “Harness”; and his chariot is harnessed, and Jehoram king of Israel goes out, and Ahaziah king of Judah, each in his chariot, and they go out to meet Jehu, and find him in the portion of Naboth the Jezreelite.
Joram nyere iwu sị, “Kwadooro m ụgbọ agha m.” Mgbe a kwadooro ya, Joram eze Izrel, na Ahazaya, eze Juda, pụtara nọkwasị nʼụgbọ agha, onye ọbụla na nke ya, pụọ ịga izute Jehu. Ha zutere ya nʼoke ala ubi Nebọt, onye Jezril.
22 And it comes to pass, at Jehoram’s seeing Jehu, that he says, “Is there peace, Jehu?” And he says, “What [is] the peace, while the whoredoms of your mother Jezebel, and her witchcrafts, are many?”
Mgbe Joram hụrụ Jehu, ọ jụrụ, “Ị bịara nʼudo? Udo ọ dịkwa, Jehu?” Jehu zara, “Olee otu udo ga-esi dịrị, ebe ọ bụ na ihe ọjọọ niile nke ikpere arụsị na mgbaasị nke Jezebel nne gị, jupụtara nʼebe niile.”
23 And Jehoram turns his hands and flees, and says to Ahaziah, “Deceit, O Ahaziah!”
Joram chigharịrị ụgbọ agha ya bido ịgba ọsọ. Mgbe ọ na-agba ọsọ, o tiri mkpu kpọkuo Ahazaya sị ya, “Ahazaya, Aghụghọ dị, ọgbaaghara dị!”
24 And Jehu has filled his hand with a bow, and strikes Jehoram between his arms, and the arrow goes out from his heart, and he bows down in his chariot.
Jehu jiri ike ya niile dọtịa ụta o ji nʼaka ya gba ya Joram. Ọ gbatara Joram àkụ ahụ nʼazụ. Àkụ ahụ sikwa ya nʼobi pụta. Nke a mere ka Joram daa nʼime ụgbọala ya nwụọ.
25 And [Jehu] says to his captain Bidkar, “Lift up, cast him into the portion of the field of Naboth the Jezreelite—for remember, you and I were riding together after his father Ahab, and YHWH lifted this burden on him:
Mgbe ahụ, Jehu sịrị Bidka, bụ onyeisi agha ya, “Bulie ya, tụba ya nʼubi Nebọt onye Jezril. Chetakwa na mụ na gị nọkwasịrị nʼelu ịnyịnya, anyị abụọ, na-eso nna ya Ehab, mgbe Onyenwe anyị kwuru okwu amụma a megide ya.
26 Have I not seen the blood of Naboth and the blood of his sons last night—a declaration of YHWH—indeed, I have repaid to you in this portion—a declaration of YHWH—and now, lift up, cast him into the portion, according to the word of YHWH.”
‘Nʼezie, ahụrụ m ọbara Nebọt na ọbara ụmụ ya ndị ikom ụnyaahụ, otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara, nʼihi ya, aghaghị m ime ka ị kwụghachi ụgwọ ọbara ha nʼala ubi a.’ Ugbu a, bulie ya tụba ya nʼala ubi a dị ka okwu Onyenwe anyị si dị.”
27 And Ahaziah king of Judah has seen, and flees the way of the garden-house, and Jehu pursues after him, and says, “Strike him—also him—in the chariot,” in the going up to Gur, that [is] Ibleam, and he flees to Megiddo, and dies there,
Mgbe Ahazaya eze Juda, hụrụ ihe mere, ọ gbaara ọsọ na-agbago nʼụzọ Bet Hagan. Ma Jehu chụsoro ya, na-eti mkpu sị, “Gbukwuonụ ya.” Ha merụrụ ya ahụ ka ọ nọ nʼụgbọ agha ya, nʼụzọ ịga Gua, nso Ibleam, ọ gbara ọsọ ga Megido ebe ọ nọ nwụọ.
28 and his servants carry him to Jerusalem in a chariot, and bury him in his burying-place with his fathers in the City of David.
Ndị ohu ya ji ụgbọ agha bịa buru ozu ya bubata ya na Jerusalem, lie ya nʼebe e liri nna nna ya ha, nʼobodo Devid.
29 And in the eleventh year of Joram son of Ahab, Ahaziah reigned over Judah.
Nʼafọ iri na otu nke ọchịchị Joram nwa Ehab, ka Ahazaya malitere ịbụ eze Juda.
30 And Jehu comes to Jezreel, and Jezebel has heard, and puts her eyes in paint and beautifies her head, and looks out through the window.
Mgbe Jezebel nụrụ na Jehu abịaruola Jezril, ọ banyere nʼụlọ ya, tee uri nʼanya abụọ, dozie agịrị isi ya, pụta bịa nọdụ ala nʼakụkụ oghereikuku, site nʼebe ahụ na-elepụ anya nʼezi.
31 And Jehu has come into the gate, and she says, “Was there peace [for] Zimri—slayer of his lord?”
Mgbe Jehu batara nʼọnụ ụzọ e si abata ụlọeze, Jezebel kpọkuru ya sị, “Ị bịara nʼudo, gị Zimri, gị onye gburu nna gị ukwu.”
32 And he lifts up his face to the window and says, “Who [is] with me? Who?” And two [or] three eunuchs look out to him;
Jehu leliri anya elu lee anya na oghereikuku tie mkpu sị, “Onye dịnyeere m?” Onozi abụọ maọbụ atọ na-eje ozi nʼụlọeze lepụtara anya lee ya anya.
33 and he says, “Let her go”; and they let her go, and [some] of her blood is sprinkled on the wall, and on the horses, and he treads her down.
Jehu nyere ha iwu sị ha, “Tụdanụ ya nʼala.” Ya mere, ha si nʼelu ebe ahụ tụda ya nʼala. Mgbe ọ daruru ala, ọbara ya fesasịrị nʼahụ mgbidi ụlọ na nʼahụ ịnyịnya ndị ji ụkwụ ha zọjaa ya.
34 And he comes in, and eats, and drinks, and says, “Now look after this cursed one and bury her, for she [is] a king’s daughter.”
Jehu banyere nọ nʼime ụlọeze rie ihe, ṅụkwaa ihe ọṅụṅụ. Emesịa, o nyere iwu sị, “Leenụ nwanyị a a bụrụ ọnụ; burunu ya gaa lie ya, nʼihi na ọ bụ ada eze.”
35 And they go to bury her, and have not found [anything] of her except the skull, and the feet, and the palms of the hands.
Mgbe ha pụtara ili ya, ọ bụ naanị okpokoro isi ya na ọkpụkpụ ụkwụ ya abụọ, na aka ya abụọ ka ha hụrụ. Ha ahụkwaghị anụ ahụ ya.
36 And they turn back, and declare [it] to him, and he says, “It [is] the word of YHWH that He spoke by the hand of this servant, Elijah the Tishbite, saying, In the portion of Jezreel the dogs eat the flesh of Jezebel,
Ha laghachiri gwa Jehu ihe ha hụrụ. Ọ zara sị ha, “Nke a bụ okwu Onyenwe anyị, nke o kwuru site nʼọnụ ohu ya Ịlaịja onye Tishbe sị: ‘Nʼala ubi dị na Jezril ka nkịta ga-anọ rie anụ ahụ Jezebel.
37 and the carcass of Jezebel has been as dung on the face of the field in the portion of Jezreel, that they do not say, This [is] Jezebel.”
Ozu Jezebel ga-adị ka unyi nʼala ubi dị na Jezril, ruo na mmadụ enweghị ike ikwupụta sị, Nke a bụ Jezebel.’”
