2 Kings 9
1 And Elisha the prophet he summoned one from [the] sons of the prophets and he said to him gird up loins your and take [the] flask of oil this in hand your and go Ramoth Gilead.
Na odiyifoɔ Elisa afrɛ adiyifoɔ no mu baako afiri adiyifoɔ kuo no mu. Ɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Siesie wo ho, na kɔ Ramot-Gilead. Fa saa toa a ngo wɔ mu yi ka wo ho kɔ.
2 And you will go there towards and look for there Jehu [the] son of Jehoshaphat [the] son of Nimshi and you will go and you will make rise him from among brothers his and you will bring him a room in a room.
Hwehwɛ Yehosafat babarima Yehu a ɔyɛ Nimsi nana no. Frɛ no firi ne nnamfo mu, na fa no kɔ piam,
3 And you will take [the] flask of oil and you will pour [it] on head his and you will say thus he says Yahweh I anoint you to king to Israel and you will open the door and you will flee and not you must delay.
na hwie ngo no gu ne tirim. Ka kyerɛ no sɛ, ‘Sɛdeɛ Awurade seɛ nie: Meresra wo ngo, ama woabɛdi Israel so ɔhene.’ Afei, bue ɛpono no na dwane, gye wo kra nkwa!”
4 And he went the young man the young man the prophet Ramoth Gilead.
Enti, odiyifoɔ kumaa no yɛɛ deɛ wɔka kyerɛɛ no no, na ɔkɔɔ Ramot-Gilead.
5 And he came and there! [the] commanders of the army [were] sitting and he said a word [belongs] to me to you O commander and he said Jehu to whom? from all of us and he said to you O commander.
Ɔduruu hɔ no, ɔhunuu Yehu sɛ ɔne asraafoɔ mpanimfoɔ bi reyɛ nhyiamu. Ɔkaa sɛ, “Ɔsahene, mewɔ nkra bi de ma wo.” Yehu bisaa sɛ, “Yɛn mu hwan?” Ɔbuaa sɛ, “Wo a woyɛ ɔsahene no.”
6 And he arose and he went the house towards and he poured the oil to head his and he said to him thus he says Yahweh [the] God of Israel I anoint you to king to [the] people of Yahweh to Israel.
Enti, Yehu gyaa wɔn a aka no hɔ, kɔɔ efie. Na odiyifoɔ kumaa no hwiee ngo no guu Yehu tirim, kaa sɛ, “Sɛdeɛ Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn, seɛ nie: Mesra wo ngo sɛ, di Awurade nkurɔfoɔ Israelfoɔ so ɔhene.
7 And you will strike down [the] house of Ahab master your and I will avenge [the] blood of - servants my the prophets and [the] blood of all [the] servants of Yahweh from [the] hand of Jezebel.
Ɛsɛ sɛ wosɛe Ahab, wo wura, no fie. Saa ɛkwan no so na mɛfa atua mʼadiyifoɔ a wɔkunkumm wɔn ne Awurade asomfoɔ no nyinaa a Isebel kunkumm wɔn no so ka.
8 And it will perish all [the] house of Ahab and I will cut off to Ahab [one who] urinates on a wall and shut up and freed in Israel.
Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔpepa Ahab fiefoɔ nyinaa firi hɔ—ɔbarima biara, ɔsomfoɔ ne deɛ ɔde ne ho nyinaa a wɔwɔ Israel.
9 And I will make [the] house of Ahab like [the] house of Jeroboam [the] son of Nebat and like [the] house of Baasha [the] son of Ahijah.
Mɛsɛe Ahab fie, sɛdeɛ mesɛee Nebat babarima Yeroboam ne Ahiya babarima Baasa afie no.
10 And Jezebel they will devour the dogs in [the] territory of Jezreel and there not [will be one who] buries [her] and he opened the door and he fled.
Na nkraman bɛwe Isebel ɛnam wɔ Yesreel asase so, na obiara rensie no.” Afei, odiyifoɔ kumaa no buee ɛpono no, tuu mmirika dwaneeɛ.
11 And Jehu he went out to [the] servants of master his and someone said to him ¿ peace why? did he come the mad [man] this to you and he said to them you you know the man and talk his.
Yehu sane kɔɔ ne nkurɔfoɔ mpanimfoɔ no nkyɛn. Wɔn mu baako bisaa no sɛ, “Ɛdeɛn na damfo a ne ti asɛe no rehwehwɛ? Biribiara yɛ anaa?” Yehu buaa sɛ, “Wo ara wonim, sɛdeɛ ɔbarima no keka ne nsɛm fa.”
12 And they said falsehood tell please to us and he said like this and like this he said to me saying thus he says Yahweh I anoint you to king to Israel.
Wɔn nyinaa kaa sɛ, “Woboa. Ka nokorɛ.” Enti, Yehu kaa sɛ, odiyifoɔ no ayi akyerɛ no sɛ Awurade asra no ngo sɛ ɔmmɛdi Israel so ɔhene.
13 And they hurried and they took each garment his and they put [them] under him to [the] bone of the steps and they gave a blast on the trumpet and they said he is king Jehu.
Wɔde wɔn ntadeɛ sesɛɛ ntwedeɛ no so ntɛm ara, hyɛnee totorobɛnto, teateaam sɛ, “Yehu yɛ ɔhene.”
14 And he conspired Jehu [the] son of Jehoshaphat [the] son of Nimshi against Joram and Joram he had been watching at Ramoth Gilead he and all Israel from before Hazael [the] king of Aram.
Enti, Yehosafat babarima Yehu a ɔyɛ Nimsi nana pam ɔhene Yoram tiri so. Afei, na Yoram de ne ho akɔbɔ akodɔm wɔ Ramot-Gilead a na wɔgyina de tia Aramhene Hasael akodɔm.
15 And he had returned Jehoram the king to get himself healed in Jezreel from the wounds which they wounded him [the] Arameans when fought he with Hazael [the] king of Aram and he said Jehu if there [is] mind your may not he go out an escapee from the city to go (to tell *Q(k)*) in Jezreel.
Nanso, na wɔapira Yoram wɔ ɔko no mu, ama wasane aba Yesreel sɛ ɔrebɛsa ne ho yadeɛ. Enti, Yehu ka kyerɛɛ mmarima a wɔka ne ho no sɛ, “Esiane sɛ mopɛ sɛ medi ɔhene no enti, mma obiara nnwane nkɔ Yesreel nkɔka deɛ yɛayɛ wɔ hɔ.”
16 And he rode in a chariot Jehu and he went Jezreel towards for Joram [was] lying there and Ahaziah [the] king of Judah he had come down to see Joram.
Na Yehu kɔtenaa teaseɛnam mu, kɔɔ Yesreel kɔhwehwɛɛ ɔhene Yoram a na wapira da hɔ no. Na Yudahene Ahasia nso wɔ hɔ bi.
17 And the watchman [was] standing on the tower in Jezreel and he saw [the] crowd of Jehu when came he and he said a crowd I [am] seeing and he said Jehoram take a horseman and send [him] to meet them and he may say ¿ peace.
Ɔwɛmfoɔ a na ɔwɔ Yesreel abantenten so no hunuu Yehu ne ne nkurɔfoɔ sɛ wɔreba enti, ɔteaam guu Yoram so sɛ, “Mehunu sɛ akodɔm reba. Soma ɔpɔnkɔkafoɔ bi, na ɔnkɔhwɛ sɛ wɔreba no asomdwoeɛ so anaa.” Ɔhene Yoram nso teaam.
18 And he went [the] rider of the horse to meet him and he said thus he says the king ¿ peace and he said Jehu what? [is] to you and to peace go around to after me and he reported the watchman saying he came the messenger to they and not he has turned back.
Enti, ɔpɔnkɔkafoɔ no kɔhyiaa Yehu bisaa no sɛ, “Ɔhene pɛ sɛ ɔhunu sɛ moreba no asomdwoeɛ so anaa.” Yehu buaa sɛ, “Ɛdeɛn na wonim fa asomdwoeɛ ho? Ma mensene!” Ɔwɛmfoɔ no frɛɛ ɔhene sɛ, “Ɔpɔnkɔkafoɔ no ahyia wɔn, nanso ɔmma.”
19 And he sent a rider of a horse second and he came to them and he said thus he says the king peace and he said Jehu what? [is] to you and to peace go around to after me.
Enti, ɔhene no somaa ɔpɔnkɔkafoɔ a ɔtɔ so mmienu. Ɔkɔduruu wɔn nkyɛn bisaa sɛ, “Ɔhene pɛ sɛ ɔhunu sɛ moreba no asomdwoeɛ so anaa.” Bio, Yehu bisaa sɛ, “Ɛdeɛn na wonim fa asomdwoeɛ ho? Di mʼakyi!”
20 And he reported the watchman saying he came to to them and not he has turned back and the driving [is] like [the] driving of Jehu [the] son of Nimshi for with madness he drives.
Ɔwɛmfoɔ no teaam sɛ, “Ɔpɔnkɔkafoɔ no ahyia wɔn, nanso ɔno nso mma. Ɛbɛyɛ Nimsi babarima Yehu a ɔka ɔpɔnkɔ mmirikatɛntɛ so no.”
21 And he said Jehoram harness and someone harnessed chariot his and he went out Jehoram [the] king of Israel and Ahaziah [the] king of Judah each in chariot his and they went out to meet Jehu and they found him in [the] portion of land of Naboth the Jezreelite.
Ɔhene Yoram hyɛɛ sɛ, “Ntɛm, monyɛ me teaseɛnam no krado mma me.” Na Israelhene Yoram ne Yudahene Ahasia tenatenaa wɔn nteaseɛnam mu kɔhyiaa Yehu. Wɔhyiaa no wɔ asase a na ɛyɛ Nabot, Yesreelni dea no so.
22 And it was when saw Jehoram Jehu and he said ¿ peace O Jehu and he said what? [is] peace until [the] prostitutions of Jezebel mother your and sorceries her many.
Ɔhene Yoram bisaa sɛ, “Wobaa no asomdwoeɛ so anaa, Yehu?” Yehu buaa sɛ, “Mpɛn dodoɔ a wo maame Isebel abosom ne ne bayie atwa yɛn ho ahyia yi, ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na maba no asomdwoeɛ so?”
23 And he turned around Jehoram hands his and he fled and he said to Ahaziah treachery O Ahaziah.
Ɛnna ɔhene Yoram twee ne teaseɛnam pɔnkɔ no ahoma, de danee ɔpɔnkɔ no ani, dwaneeɛ a ɔreteateam sɛ, “Ɔmammɔfoɔ Ahasia!”
24 And Jehu he filled hand his with bow and he struck Jehoram between arms his and it came out the arrow from heart his and he sank down in chariot his.
Na Yehu twee nʼagyan to wɔɔ Yoram mmati ntam. Agyan no hwiree nʼakoma mu, ma ɔbu hwee ne teaseɛnam no mu, wuiɛ.
25 And he said to Bidkar (officer his *Q(K)*) pick [him] up throw him in [the] portion of [the] field of Naboth the Jezreelite for remember I and you [were] riding pairs behind Ahab father his and Yahweh he lifted up on him the oracle this.
Yehu ka kyerɛɛ ne kunini Bidkar sɛ, “To no twene Nabot, Yesreelni no asase no so. Wokae ɛberɛ a na yɛtete nteaseɛnam mu di nʼagya Ahab akyi no? Awurade kaa sɛ,
26 If not [the] blood of Naboth and [the] blood of sons his I saw yesterday [the] utterance of Yahweh and I will repay to you on the portion of land this [the] utterance of Yahweh and therefore pick [him] up throw him on the portion of land according to [the] word of Yahweh.
‘Meka ntam di nse sɛ, mɛtua no so ka wɔ Nabot agyapadeɛ yi mu. Sɛ ɔkum Nabot ne ne mmammarima nnora a mehunuu no enti, mɛtua no ka. Enti, to no twene wɔ Nabot asase yi so.’”
27 And Ahaziah [the] king of Judah he saw and he fled [the] direction Beth Haggan and he pursued after him Jehu and he said also him strike down him into the chariot at [the] ascent of Gur which [is] with Ibleam and he fled Megiddo and he died there.
Ɛberɛ a Yudahene Ahasia hunuu asɛm a asi no, ɔdwane kɔɔ Bet-Hagan. Yehu taa no teateaam sɛ, “Monkum ɔno nso bi.” Enti, wɔtoo Ahasia agyan wɔ ne teaseɛnam mu wɔ Gur aforoeɛ a ɛbɛn Yibleam. Ɔtumi kɔeɛ ara kɔduruu Megido, na ɔwuu wɔ hɔ.
28 And they caused to ride him servants his Jerusalem towards and they buried him in grave his with ancestors his in [the] city of David.
Ne mpanimfoɔ de no too teaseɛnam mu, kɔɔ Yerusalem, kɔsiee no ne mpanimfoɔ ho wɔ Dawid kurom.
29 And in year one [plus] ten year of Joram [the] son of Ahab he had become king Ahaziah over Judah.
Na Ahasia dii adeɛ wɔ Yuda no, na Israelhene Yoram nso adi adeɛ mfeɛ dubaako.
30 And he went Jehu Jezreel towards and Jezebel she heard and she set with eye-paint eyes her and she made good head her and she looked down through the window.
Ɛberɛ a ɔhemmaa Isebel tee sɛ Yehu aba Yesreel no, ɔkekaa nʼanintɔn, yɛɛ ne ti fɛfɛɛfɛ, tɛɛ mpomma mu.
31 And Jehu he came in the gate and she said ¿ peace O Zimri [the] murderer of master his.
Ɛberɛ a Yehu wuraa ahemfie ɛpono no mu no, ɔhemmaa no teaam guu ne so sɛ, “Owudifoɔ, wobaa no asomdwoeɛ so anaa? Wote sɛ Simri a ɔkumm ne wura no.”
32 And he lifted up face his to the window and he said who? [is] with me who? and they looked down to him two three court-officials.
Yehu pagyaa nʼani hunuu no wɔ mpomma no mu teaam sɛ, “Hwan na ɔwɔ mʼafa!” Na apiafoɔ baanu anaa baasa hwɛɛ no.
33 And he said (let fall her *Q(K)*) and they let fall her and it spattered some of blood her to the wall and to the horses and he trampled her.
Yehu teaam sɛ, “Monto no ntwene fam.” Enti, wɔtoo no firii mpomma no mu, maa ne mogya bi bɔ petee ɔfasuo no ne nʼapɔnkɔ ho. Na Yehu maa nʼapɔnkɔ tiatiaa nʼamu no so.
34 And he went and he ate and he drank and he said attend to please the accursed [woman] this and bury her for [was] a daughter of a king she.
Na Yehu kɔɔ ahemfie hɔ kɔdidi, nomeeɛ. Akyire yi, ɔkaa sɛ, “Monkɔ nkɔsie ɔbaa a wɔadome no yi, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔyɛ ɔhene babaa.”
35 And they went to bury her and not they found in her that except the skull and the feet and [the] palms of the hands.
Nanso, wɔkɔɔ sɛ wɔrekɔsie no no, ne tikwankoraa, ne nan ne ne nsa nko ara na wɔhunuiɛ.
36 And they returned and they told to him and he said [is] [the] word of Yahweh it which he spoke by [the] hand of servant his Elijah the Tishbite saying in [the] territory of Jezreel they will devour the dogs [the] flesh of Jezebel.
Ɛberɛ a wɔbɛbɔɔ Yehu amaneɛ no, ɔkaa sɛ, “Yei hyɛ asɛm a Awurade nam ne ɔsomfoɔ Tisbini Elia so kaeɛ no ma sɛ, ‘Asase tam bi a ɛda Yesreel no so na nkraman bɛwe Isebel ɛnam.
37 (And it will be *Q(k)*) [the] corpse of Jezebel like dung on [the] surface of the field in [the] territory of Jezreel that not people will say this [is] Jezebel.
Na nʼamu bɛbɔ apete, te sɛ wura wɔ Yesreel haban mu a ne saa enti, obiara ntumi nhunu no.’”
