2 Kings 9
1 Now, Elisha the prophet, called one of the sons of the prophets, —and said to him—Gird up thy loins, and take this flask of oil in thy 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, when thou art come in thither, then look thee out, there, Jehu son of Jehoshaphat, son of Nimshi; and thou shalt enter and get him to rise up out of the midst of his brethren, and take him into 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 then shalt thou take the flask of oil, and pour out upon his head, and say—Thus, saith Yahweh, I have anointed thee to be king unto Israel! Then shalt thou open the door and flee, and not tarry.
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 So the young man went his way—the young man the prophet—unto Ramoth-gilead.
Nwokorobịa onye amụma ahụ gara Ramọt Gilead.
5 And, when he came up, lo! the captains of the force, sitting, and he said—A word, have I, for thee, O captain! And Jehu said—For which, of us all? And he said, —For thee, O captain!
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 Then rose he up and went inside, and poured out the oil upon his head, and said unto him—Thus, saith Yahweh, God of Israel, I have anointed thee to be king unto the people of Yahweh, unto 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 thou shalt smite the house of Ahab thy lord, —so will I avenge the blood of my servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of Yahweh, at 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 so shall perish all the house of Ahab, —and I will cut off to Ahab the meanest, both him that is shut up and him that is left at large, 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 Yea I will deliver up the house of Ahab, like the house of Jeroboam son of Nebat, —and like 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, as for Jezebel, the dogs shall eat [her], in the town-land of Jezreel, there being none to bury her. And he opened the door, and fled.
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 Then, Jehu, came forth unto the servants of his lord, and one said to him—Is all well? why came this madman unto thee? And he said unto them, Ye, know, the man and his message.
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 said—False! pray tell, us. And he said, —Thus and thus, spake he unto me, saying, Thus, saith Yahweh, I have anointed thee to be king unto 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 Then hasted they, and took, every man his garment, and put it under him, upon the very steps, —and blew with a horn, and said, Jehu, is king!
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 Thus did Jehu son of Jehoshaphat son of Nimshi conspire against Joram, —when, Joram, was watching Ramoth-gilead, he and all Israel, because of Hazael king of Syria.
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 But Jehoram the king had returned to get himself healed in Jezreel, of the wounds wherewith the Syrians had wounded him, when he fought with Hazael king of Syria. Then said Jehu—If such is your mind, let no fugitive get forth out of the city, to go and tell 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 So Jehu rode in a chariot, and went towards Jezreel, for, Joram, was lying there, —and, Ahaziah king of Judah, had come 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 Now, the watchman, was standing upon the tower, in Jezreel, so he saw the great company of Jehu, when he came, and said—A great company, can I see! Then said Jehoram—Take a horseman and send to meet them, that he may say—Is it 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 So the horseman went 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 up to them, but hath not turned back.
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 Then sent he a second horseman, and he came up to them and said, Thus, saith the king, Is it peace? And Jehu said—What hast thou to do with peace? turn thee 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 told, saying, He came up to them, but hath not turned back, —and, the driving, is like the driving of Jehu son of Nimshi; for, with mad haste, doth he drive.
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 Then said Jehoram, Harness! So one harnessed his chariot, —and Jehoram king of Israel and Ahaziah king of Judah went forth, each man in his chariot, yea they went forth to meet Jehu, and came upon him in the heritage 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 came to pass, when Jehoram saw Jehu, that he said—Is it peace, Jehu? And he said—What can be the peace, while thy mother Jezebel’s harlotries and her incantations do so abound?
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 Then Jehoram turned his hands, and fled, —and said unto Ahaziah—Treachery! 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, bent his bow, and smote Jehoram, between his arms, —and the arrow came out at his heart, —and he sank 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 Then said he unto Bidkar his officer, Take [him] up, [and] cast him forth, into the field-portion of Naboth the Jezreelite, —for remember, when I and thou were riding as a couple together after Ahab his father, that, Yahweh, laid upon him this doom:
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 Surely, the blood of Naboth and the blood of his sons, have I lately seen, declareth Yahweh, therefore will I requite thee in this portion, declareth Yahweh. Now, therefore, take [him] up, [and] cast him forth into the portion, according to the word of Yahweh.
‘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, saw it, and fled by the way of the garden house, —and Jehu pursued him, and said—Him also! smite him in the chariot! It was in the ascent of Gur, which is by Ibleam. And he fled to Mepidgo, and died 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 conveyed him in a chariot and brought him into Jerusalem, —and buried him in his sepulchre, 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 Now it was, in the eleventh year of Joram son of Ahab, that Ahaziah began to reign over Judah.
Nʼafọ iri na otu nke ọchịchị Joram nwa Ehab, ka Ahazaya malitere ịbụ eze Juda.
30 Now, when Jehu entered Jezreel and, Jezebel, heard of it, she set her eyes in stibium, and ornamented her head, and looked forth through the lattice.
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 So, when, Jehu, had entered in at the gate, she said, Was it peace, when Zimri slew 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 lifted up his face unto the lattice, and said—Who, is with me? Who? And there looked out unto him, two or three eunuchs.
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 said—Hurl her down. And they hurled her down, —and there was sprinkled of her blood—upon the wall, and upon the horses, and they trode upon her.
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, when he had entered and eaten and drunk, he said—Look, I pray you, after this accursed woman, and bury her, for the daughter of a king, she is.
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 So they went to bury her, —but found not of her—save 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 Then came they back, and told him, and he said—The word of Yahweh, it is, which he spake by the hand of his servant, Elijah the Tishbite, saying—In the town-land of Jezreel, shall 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 So shall the carcass of Jezebel become like heaps of dung on the face of the field, in the town-land of Jezreel: So that they cannot 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.’”
