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,
Heliseus 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 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,
cumque veneris illuc videbis Hieu filium Iosaphat filii Namsi et ingressus suscitabis eum de medio fratrum suorum et introduces interius cubiculum
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.”
tenensque lenticulam olei fundes super caput eius et dices haec dicit Dominus unxi te regem super Israhel aperiesque ostium et fugies et non ibi subsistes
4 And the young man goes—the young man the prophet—to Ramoth-Gilead,
abiit ergo adulescens puer prophetae Ramoth Galaad
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.”
et ingressus est ecce autem principes exercitus sedebant et ait verbum mihi ad te princeps dixitque Hieu ad quem ex omnibus nobis at ille dixit ad te o princeps
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,
et surrexit et ingressus est cubiculum at ille fudit oleum super caput eius et ait haec dicit Dominus Deus Israhel unxi te regem super populum Domini Israhel
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;
et percuties domum Ahab domini tui ut ulciscar sanguinem servorum meorum prophetarum et sanguinem omnium servorum Domini de manu Hiezabel
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,
perdamque omnem domum Ahab et interficiam de Ahab mingentem ad parietem et clausum et novissimum in Israhel
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,
et dabo domum Ahab sicut domum Hieroboam filii Nabath et sicut domum Baasa filii Ahia
10 and dogs eat Jezebel in the portion of Jezreel, and there is none burying”; and he opens the door and flees.
Hiezabel quoque comedent canes in agro Hiezrahel nec erit qui sepeliat eam aperuitque ostium et fugit
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.”
Hieu autem egressus est ad servos domini sui qui dixerunt ei rectene sunt omnia quid venit insanus iste ad te qui ait eis nostis hominem et quid locutus sit
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.”
at illi responderunt falsum est sed magis narra nobis qui ait eis haec et haec locutus est mihi et ait haec dicit Dominus unxi te regem super Israhel
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!”
festinaverunt itaque et unusquisque tollens pallium suum posuerunt sub pedibus eius in similitudinem tribunalis et cecinerunt tuba atque dixerunt regnavit Hieu
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,
coniuravit ergo Hieu filius Iosaphat filii Namsi contra Ioram porro Ioram obsederat Ramoth Galaad ipse et omnis Israhel contra Azahel regem Syriae
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.”
et reversus fuerat ut curaretur in Hiezrahel propter vulnera quia percusserant eum Syri proeliantem contra Azahel regem Syriae dixitque Hieu si placet vobis nemo egrediatur profugus de civitate ne vadat et nuntiet in Hiezrahel
16 And Jehu rides, and goes to Jezreel, for Joram is lying there, and Ahaziah king of Judah has gone down to see Joram.
et ascendit et profectus est in Hiezrahel Ioram enim aegrotabat ibi et Ahazia rex Iuda descenderat ad visitandum Ioram
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?”
igitur speculator qui stabat super turrem Hiezrahel vidit globum Hieu venientis et ait video ego globum dixitque Ioram tolle currum et mitte in occursum eorum et dicat vadens rectene sunt omnia
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.”
abiit igitur qui ascenderat currum in occursum eius et ait haec dicit rex pacata sunt omnia dixitque ei Hieu quid tibi et paci transi et sequere me nuntiavit quoque speculator dicens venit nuntius ad eos et non revertitur
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.”
misit etiam currum equorum secundum venitque ad eos et ait haec dicit rex num pax est et ait Hieu quid tibi et paci transi et sequere me
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.”
nuntiavit autem speculator dicens venit usque ad eos et non revertitur est autem incessus quasi incessus Hieu filii Namsi praeceps enim graditur
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.
et ait Ioram iunge currum iunxeruntque currum eius et egressus est Ioram rex Israhel et Ahazias rex Iuda singuli in curribus suis egressique sunt in occursum Hieu et invenerunt eum in agro Naboth Hiezrahelitis
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?”
cumque vidisset Ioram Hieu dixit pax est Hieu at ille respondit quae pax adhuc fornicationes Hiezabel matris tuae et veneficia eius multa vigent
23 And Jehoram turns his hands and flees, and says to Ahaziah, “Deceit, O Ahaziah!”
convertit autem Ioram manum suam et fugiens ait ad Ahaziam insidiae Ahazia
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.
porro Hieu tetendit arcum manu et percussit Ioram inter scapulas et egressa est sagitta per cor eius statimque corruit in curru suo
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:
dixitque Hieu ad Baddacer ducem tolle proice eum in agro Naboth Hiezrahelitae memini enim quando ego et tu sedentes in curru sequebamur Ahab patrem huius quod Dominus onus hoc levaverit super eum dicens
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.”
si non pro sanguine Naboth et pro sanguine filiorum eius quem vidi heri ait Dominus reddam tibi in agro isto dicit Dominus nunc igitur tolle proice eum in agro iuxta verbum Domini
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,
Ahazias autem rex Iuda videns hoc fugit per viam domus horti persecutusque est eum Hieu et ait etiam hunc percutite in curru suo in ascensu Gaber qui est iuxta Ieblaam qui fugit in Mageddo et mortuus est ibi
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.
et inposuerunt eum servi eius super currum suum et tulerunt Hierusalem sepelieruntque in sepulchro cum patribus suis in civitate David
29 And in the eleventh year of Joram son of Ahab, Ahaziah reigned over Judah.
anno undecimo Ioram filii Ahab rege Ahazia super Iudam
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.
venit Hieu Hiezrahel porro Hiezabel introitu eius audito depinxit oculos suos stibio et ornavit caput suum et respexit per fenestram
31 And Jehu has come into the gate, and she says, “Was there peace [for] Zimri—slayer of his lord?”
ingredientem Hieu per portam et ait numquid pax esse potest Zamri qui interfecit dominum suum
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;
levavitque Hieu faciem suam ad fenestram et ait quae est ista et inclinaverunt se ad eum duo vel tres eunuchi
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.
at ille dixit eis praecipitate eam deorsum et praecipitaverunt eam aspersusque est sanguine paries et equorum ungulae qui conculcaverunt eam
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.”
cumque ingressus esset et comederet bibissetque ait ite videte maledictam illam et sepelite eam quia filia regis est
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.
cumque issent ut sepelirent eam non invenerunt nisi calvariam et pedes et summas manus
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,
reversique nuntiaverunt ei et ait Hieu sermo Domini est quem locutus est per servum suum Heliam Thesbiten dicens in agro Hiezrahel comedent canes carnes Hiezabel
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.”
et erunt carnes Hiezabel sicut stercus super faciem terrae in agro Hiezrahel ita ut praetereuntes dicant haecine est illa Hiezabel
