2 Kings 9
1 Elisha the prophet called one of the sons of the prophets, and said to him, “Put your belt on your waist, take this vial of oil in your hand, and go to Ramoth Gilead.
Mneneri Elisa anayitanitsa mmodzi mwa ana a aneneri, namuwuza kuti, “Manga lamba mʼchiwuno mwako, tenga botolo la mafuta mʼdzanja lako ndipo upite ku Ramoti Giliyadi.
2 When you come there, find Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi, and go in and make him rise up from amongst his brothers, and take him to an inner room.
Ukakafika kumeneko, ukafunefune Yehu mwana wa Yehosafati, mwana wa Nimisi. Ukapite kwa iye, ukamuchotse pakati pa anzake ndi kukamulowetsa mʼchipinda chamʼkati.
3 Then take the vial of oil, and pour it on his head, and say, ‘The LORD says, “I have anointed you king over Israel.”’ Then open the door, flee, and don’t wait.”
Ndipo ukatenge botololi ndi kuthira mafuta pa mutu wake ndipo ukanene kuti, ‘Yehova akuti, Ine ndikudzoza iwe kukhala mfumu ya Israeli.’ Kenaka ukatsekule chitseko ndi kuthawa ndipo usakachedwe!”
4 So the young man, the young prophet, went to Ramoth Gilead.
Choncho mneneri wachinyamatayo anapita ku Ramoti Giliyadi.
5 When he came, behold, the captains of the army were sitting. Then he said, “I have a message for you, captain.” Jehu said, “To which one of us?” He said, “To you, O captain.”
Atafika ku Giliyadiko anapeza atsogoleri a ankhondo ali pa msonkhano. Iye anati, “Mtsogoleri, ine ndili ndi uthenga wanu.” Ndipo Yehu anafunsa kuti, “Uthengawo ndi wa yani pakati pathu?” Mneneriyo anayankha kuti, “Ndi wa inuyo, mtsogoleri.”
6 He arose, and went into the house. Then he poured the oil on his head, and said to him, “The LORD, the God of Israel, says, ‘I have anointed you king over the people of the LORD, even over Israel.
Yehu anayimirira nakalowa mʼnyumba. Pamenepo mneneriyo anakhuthulira mafuta pamutu pa Yehu ndipo ananena kuti, “Yehova Mulungu wa Israeli akuti, ‘Ine ndikukudzoza kukhala mfumu ya Israeli, anthu a Yehova.
7 You must strike your master Ahab’s house, 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 Jezebel.
Uyenera kuwononga nyumba ya mbuye wako Ahabu ndipo ndidzabwezera imfa ya atumiki anga, aneneri ndiponso imfa ya atumiki ena onse a Yehova amene anaphedwa ndi Yezebeli.
8 For the whole house of Ahab will perish. I will cut off from Ahab everyone who urinates against a wall, both him who is shut up and him who is left at large in Israel.
Banja lonse la Ahabu lidzatheratu. Ndidzachotsa munthu aliyense wamwamuna wa banja la Ahabu kaya ndi kapolo kapena mfulu.
9 I will make Ahab’s house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah.
Ndidzachititsa kuti banja la Ahabu lifanane ndi banja la Yeroboamu mwana wa Nebati ndiponso ngati banja la Baasa mwana wa Ahiya.
10 The dogs will eat Jezebel on the plot of ground of Jezreel, and there shall be no one to bury her.’” Then he opened the door and fled.
Kunena za Yezebeli, agalu adzamudya ku dera la Yezireeli ndipo palibe amene adzamuyike mʼmanda.’” Kenaka mneneriyo anatsekula chitseko nʼkuthawa.
11 When Jehu came out to the servants of his lord and one said to him, “Is all well? Why did this madman come to you?” He said to them, “You know the man and how he talks.”
Yehu atatuluka kupita kumene kunali atsogoleri anzake, mmodzi mwa iwo anamufunsa kuti, “Kodi zonse zili bwino? Kodi munthu wamisala uja anabwera kudzatani kwa iwe?” Yehu anayankha kuti, “Iwe ukumudziwa munthu uja ndiponso ukudziwa zomwe amayankhula.”
12 They said, “That is a lie. Tell us now.” He said, “He said to me, ‘The LORD says, I have anointed you king over Israel.’”
Atsogoleri aja anati, “Ukunama! Tiwuze.” Yehu anati, “Zimene wandiwuza ndi izi: ‘Yehova akuti: Ine ndakudzoza iwe kukhala mfumu ya Israeli.’”
13 Then they hurried, and each man took his cloak, and put it under him on the top of the stairs, and blew the trumpet, saying, “Jehu is king.”
Atsogoleri aja mofulumira anatenga zofunda zawo naziyala pansi pa makwerero kuti Yehu akhalepo. Kenaka analiza lipenga, nafuwula kuti, “Yehu ndiye mfumu!”
14 So Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi conspired against Joram. (Now Joram was defending Ramoth Gilead, he and all Israel, because of Hazael king of Syria;
Choncho Yehu mwana wa Yehosafati, mwana wa Nimisi, anachitira chiwembu Yoramu. (Nthawi imeneyi nʼkuti Yoramu ndi Aisraeli onse akuteteza Ramoti Giliyadi kwa Hazaeli mfumu ya ku Aramu,
15 but King Joram had returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which the Syrians had given him when he fought with Hazael king of Syria.) Jehu said, “If this is your thinking, then let no one escape and go out of the city to go to tell it in Jezreel.”
koma nʼkuti Yoramu atabwerera ku Yezireeli kuti akachire mabala amene Aaramu anamuvulaza pa nkhondo ndi Hazaeli mfumu ya ku Aramu.) Yehu anati, “Ngati mukugwirizana nazo zimenezi, wina aliyense asatuluke mu mzinda muno kupita kukafotokoza nkhaniyi ku Yezireeli.”
16 So Jehu rode in a chariot and went to Jezreel, for Joram lay there. Ahaziah king of Judah had come down to see Joram.
Pamenepo Yehu anakwera galeta lake, napita ku Yezireeli, chifukwa Yoramu anali akupumula kumeneko ndipo Ahaziya, mfumu ya ku Yuda, nʼkuti ali komweko kudzamuona.
17 Now the watchman was standing on the tower in Jezreel, and he spied the company of Jehu as he came, and said, “I see a company.” Joram said, “Take a horseman, and send to meet them, and let him say, ‘Is it peace?’”
Mlonda amene ankayimirira pa nsanja yolondera mzinda wa Yezireeli ataona gulu lankhondo la Yehu likuyandikira, anafuwula kuti, “Ndikuona gulu lankhondo likubwera.” Yoramu analamula kuti, “Peza munthu wokwera kavalo, mutume kuti akakumane nawo ndi kuwafunsa kuti, ‘Kodi mukubwera mwamtendere?’”
18 So one went on horseback to meet him, and said, “the king says, ‘Is it peace?’” Jehu said, “What do you have to do with peace? Fall in behind me!” The watchman said, “The messenger came to them, but he isn’t coming back.”
Choncho munthu wokwera kavalo anapita kukakumana ndi Yehu ndipo anati, “Mfumu ikufunsa kuti, ‘Kodi mukubwera mwamtendere?’” Yehu anayankha kuti, “Kodi iwe nkhani ya mtendere yakukhudza bwanji? Tiye, zinditsata pambuyo panga.” Mlonda uja anakafotokoza kwa mfumu kuti, “Wamthenga uja wakafika kwa anthuwo koma sakubwerera.”
19 Then he sent out a second on horseback, who came to them and said, “The king says, ‘Is it peace?’” Jehu answered, “What do you have to do with peace? Fall in behind me!”
Choncho mfumu inatumanso munthu wina wachiwiri wokwera kavalo. Atafika kwa anthuwo iye anati, “Mfumu ikufunsa kuti, ‘Kodi mukubwera mwamtendere?’” Yehu anayankha kuti, “Kodi iwe nkhani ya mtendere yakukhudza bwanji? Tiye, zinditsata pambuyo panga.”
20 The watchman said, “He came to them, and isn’t coming back. The driving is like the driving of Jehu the son of Nimshi, for he drives furiously.”
Mlonda uja anakanenanso kuti, “Wamthenga uja wakafika kwa anthuwo koma sakubwereranso. Kuyendako kukukhala ngati kwa Yehu mwana wa Nimisi, iye amayenda ngati munthu wamisala.”
21 Joram said, “Get ready!” They got his chariot ready. Then Joram king of Israel and Ahaziah king of Judah went out, each in his chariot; and they went out to meet Jehu, and found him on Naboth the Jezreelite’s land.
Yoramu analamula kuti, “Konzani galeta langa.” Ndipo atakonza galeta lake, Yoramu mfumu ya Israeli ndi Ahaziya mfumu ya ku Yuda anakwera nʼkutuluka mu mzindamo, aliyense atakwera galeta lake, kukakumana ndi Yehu. Iwo anakumana ndi Yehu pa munda umene unali wa Naboti, wa ku Yezireeli.
22 When Joram saw Jehu, he said, “Is it peace, Jehu?” He answered, “What peace, so long as the prostitution of your mother Jezebel and her witchcraft abound?”
Yoramu ataona Yehu anafunsa kuti, “Yehu, kodi wabwera mwamtendere?” Yehu anayankha kuti, “Pangakhale bwanji mtendere pamene zopembedza mafano zonse zilipo ndiponso ufiti wa amayi ako Yezebeli uli ponseponse?”
23 Joram turned his hands and fled, and said to Ahaziah, “This is treason, Ahaziah!”
Yoramu anatembenuka, nathawa akufuwula kwa Ahaziya kuti, “Ahaziya, anthuwa atiwukira!”
24 Jehu drew his bow with his full strength, and struck Joram between his arms; and the arrow went out at his heart, and he sunk down in his chariot.
Pamenepo Yehu anakoka uta wake ndipo analasa Yoramu kumsana pakati pa mapewa. Muviwo unakalasa mtima wake ndipo anagwa pansi mʼgaleta lakelo.
25 Then Jehu said to Bidkar his captain, “Pick him up, and throw him in the plot of the field of Naboth the Jezreelite; for remember how, when you and I rode together after Ahab his father, the LORD laid this burden on him:
Yehu anawuza Bidikara, mtsogoleri wa galeta lake kuti, “Munyamule ndipo ukamuponye mʼmunda umene unali wa Naboti wa ku Yezireeli, chifukwa kumbukira mmene iwe ndi ine tinkayenda pambuyo pa Ahabu abambo ake, kuti Yehova ananeneratu za iye kuti,
26 ‘Surely I have seen yesterday the blood of Naboth, and the blood of his sons,’ says the LORD; ‘and I will repay you in this plot of ground,’ says the LORD. Now therefore take and cast him onto the plot of ground, according to the LORD’s word.”
‘Zoonadi dzulo ndinaona magazi a Naboti ndi magazi a ana ake, akutero Yehova, ndipo Ine ndidzakubwezera ndithu choyipa chimenechi pa munda womwe uno, akutero Yehova.’ Tsono munyamule ndipo ukamuponye mʼmundamo, potsatira zimene Yehova ananena.”
27 But when Ahaziah the king of Judah saw this, he fled by the way of the garden house. Jehu followed after him, and said, “Strike him also in the chariot!” They struck him at the ascent of Gur, which is by Ibleam. He fled to Megiddo, and died there.
Ahaziya mfumu ya ku Yuda ataona zimene zinachitika, anathawira ku Beti Hagani. Yehu anamuthamangitsa, uku akufuwula kuti, “Mupheninso!” Iwo anamuvulaza ali mʼgaleta lakelo pa njira yopita ku Guri pafupi ndi Ibuleamu, koma iye anathawira ku Megido ndipo anakafera kumeneko.
28 His servants carried him in a chariot to Jerusalem, and buried him in his tomb with his fathers in David’s city.
Antchito ake anamunyamulira mʼgaleta kupita naye ku Yerusalemu ndipo anamuyika mʼmanda pamodzi ndi makolo ake mu mzinda wa Davide.
29 In the eleventh year of Joram the son of Ahab, Ahaziah began to reign over Judah.
(Mʼchaka cha khumi ndi chimodzi cha ufumu wa Yoramu mwana wa Ahabu, Ahaziya anakhala mfumu ya ku Yuda).
30 When Jehu had come to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it; and she painted her eyes, and adorned her head, and looked out at the window.
Kenaka Yehu anapita ku Yezireeli. Yezebeli atamva zimene zinachitika, anapaka zodzikometsera mʼmaso, naluka tsitsi lake, namasuzumira pa zenera.
31 As Jehu entered in at the gate, she said, “Do you come in peace, Zimri, you murderer of your master?”
Pamene Yehu ankalowa pa chipata iye anafunsa kuti, “Kodi wabwera mwamtendere, iwe Zimuri, munthu wopha mbuye wako?”
32 He lifted up his face to the window, and said, “Who is on my side? Who?” Two or three eunuchs looked out at him.
Yehu anakweza maso nayangʼana pa zenera, ndipo anafuwula kuti, “Kodi ndani ali mbali yanga? Ndani?” Anthu ofulidwa awiri kapena atatu anayangʼana Yehu pansipo.
33 He said, “Throw her down!” So they threw her down; and some of her blood was sprinkled on the wall, and on the horses. Then he trampled her under foot.
Yehu anawawuza kuti, “Muponyeni pansi!” Motero anamuponya pansi ndipo magazi ake ena anafalikira pa khoma ndi pa akavalo pamene ankamupondaponda.
34 When he had come in, he ate and drank. Then he said, “See now to this cursed woman, and bury her; for she is a king’s daughter.”
Yehu analowa mʼnyumba yaufumu ndipo anadya ndi kumwa. Kenaka iye anati, “Kamutoleni mkazi wotembereredwayo, ndipo kamuyikeni mʼmanda, popeza ndi mwana wa mfumu.”
35 They went to bury her, but they found no more of her than the skull, the feet, and the palms of her hands.
Koma atapita kuti akamuyike mʼmanda, sanapeze kanthu kupatula chibade cha mutu wokha, mapazi ake ndi manja ake.
36 Therefore they came back, and told him. He said, “This is the LORD’s word, which he spoke by his servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, ‘The dogs will eat the flesh of Jezebel on the plot of Jezreel,
Choncho iwo anabwerera kwa Yehu ndi kukamufotokozera kuti, “Mawu amene Yehova anayankhula kudzera mwa mtumiki wake Eliya wa ku Tisibe ndi awa: Pa munda wa ku Yezireeli agalu adzadya mtembo wa Yezebeli.
37 and the body of Jezebel will be as dung on the surface of the field on Jezreel’s land, so that they won’t say, “This is Jezebel.”’”
Mtembo wa Yezebeli udzakhala ngati zinyalala pa munda wa ku Yezireeli, kotero kuti palibe amene adzathe kunena kuti, ‘Uyu ndi Yezebeli.’”
