1 Nyagblɔɖila Elisa yɔ nyagblɔɖilawo ƒe nusrɔ̃lawo dometɔ ɖeka eye wògblɔ nɛ be, “Tsɔ alidziblaka bla wò awu ʋlaya dzi, tsɔ amigoe sia ɖe asi eye nàyi Ramot Gilead.
And Elisha' the prophet called one of the children of the prophets, and said unto him, Gird up thy loins, and take this flask of oil in thy hand, and go to Ramoth-gil'ad:
2 Ne èɖo afi ma la, di Yehu, Yehosafat ƒe vi, Nimsi ƒe vi, yi ɖe egbɔ nàkplɔe dzoe le nɔviawo dome eye nàkplɔe age ɖe xɔ gã mee.
And when thou art come thither, look out there for Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi, and go in, and cause him to stand up from the midst of his brethren, and bring him in to the innermost chamber;
3 Ekema tsɔ amigoe la eye nàkɔ ami la ɖe eƒe tame agblɔ be, ‘Ale Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: mesi ami na wò, ɖo wò fiae ɖe Israel dzi.’ Ekema nàʋu ʋɔa eye nàlé du atsɔ, mègatɔ o!”
And thou shalt then take the flask of oil, and pour it on his head, and say, Thus hath said the Lord, I have anointed thee as king over Israel. Then must thou open the door, and flee, and not wait for any thing.
4 Nyagblɔɖilawo ƒe nusrɔ̃la la wɔ nu si wògblɔ nɛ. Esi wòva ɖo Ramot Gilead la,
So the young man, the disciple of the prophet, went to Ramoth-gil'ad.
5 ekpɔ Yehu wònɔ anyi ɖe ehati asrafomegãwo dome. Egblɔ nɛ be, “Nya aɖe le asinye na wò.” Yehu biae be, “Na mía dometɔ ka?” Nusrɔ̃la la ɖo eŋu be, “Na wò, Yehu.”
And when he came, behold, the captains of the army were sitting; and he said, I have a word for thee, O captain. And Jehu said, For whom of all of us? And he said, For thee, O captain.
6 Ale Yehu dzo le ehatiwo dome heyi aƒea me. Nusrɔ̃la la kɔ ami la ɖe tame nɛ eye wògblɔ nɛ be, “Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu la gblɔ be, ‘Mesi ami na wò eye meɖo wò fiae ɖe Yehowa ƒe dukɔ, Israel nu.
And he arose, and went into the house: and he poured the oil on his head, and said unto him, Thus hath said the Lord the God of Israel, I anoint thee as king over the people of the Lord, over Israel.
7 Ele be nàtsrɔ̃ Ahab ƒe ƒometɔwo eye nàbia nye nyagblɔɖilawo kple ame siwo Yezebel wu la ƒe hlɔ̃.
And thou shalt smite the house of Achab thy master, 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 Izebel.
8 Ele be nàtsrɔ̃ Ahab ƒe ƒometɔwo katã; àtsrɔ̃ ŋutsu ɖe sia ɖe le Israel, ame ka kee wònye hã ele be nàtsrɔ̃e.’
And the whole house of Achab shall perish: and I will cut off from Achab every male, and the guarded and fortified in Israel;
9 Matsrɔ̃ Ahab ƒe ƒome la abe ale si metsrɔ̃ Yeroboam, Nebat ƒe vi kple Baasa, Ahiya ƒe vi ƒe ƒomewo ene.
And I will make the house of Achab like the house of Jerobo'am the son of Nebat, and like the house of Ba'sha the son of Achiyah;
10 Avuwo aɖu Ahab srɔ̃, Yezebel le Yezreel eye ame aɖeke maɖii o!” Esia megbe la, nusrɔ̃la la ʋu ʋɔa eye wòsi dzo.
And Izebel shall the dogs eat in the field of Yizre'el, with none to bury her. And he [then] opened the door, and fled.
11 Yehu trɔ yi xɔlɔ̃awo gbɔ eye wo dometɔ ɖeka biae be, “Nu ka dim aɖaʋatɔ ma le? Nya kae dzɔ?” Yehu ɖo eŋu be, “Mienya ame si wònye kple nu si dim wòle la nyuie.”
But Jehu came forth to the servants of his Lord: and one said unto him, Is all well? wherefore came this madman to thee? And he said unto them, Ye yourselves know the man, and his talk.
12 Woɖo eŋu be, “Ao, míenya o, gblɔe na mí.” “Egblɔ nya si nusrɔ̃la la gblɔ nɛ la na wo eye wòna wonya be woɖo ye fiae ɖe Israel nu!”
And they said, It is false: only tell us, we pray thee. And he said, So and so did he speak to me, saying, Thus hath said the Lord, I anoint thee as king over Israel.
13 Enumake wotsɔ woƒe awuwo ɖo ɖe atrakpuiawo dzi, woku kpẽ eye wodo ɣli be, “Yehu zu fia!”
Then they hastened, and they took every man his garment, and put it under him on the top of the stairs; and they blew the cornet, saying, Jehu is king.
14 Aleae Yehu, Yehosafat ƒe vi kple Nimsi ƒe tɔgbuiyɔvi dze aglãe ɖe fia Yoram ŋu. (Ke Yoram kple Israel blibo la nɔ ŋudzɔ na Aram fia Hazael le Ramot Gilead.
So Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi conspired against Joram. (Now Joram had kept guard at Ramoth-gil'ad, he and all Israel, because of Chazael the king of Syria.
15 Emegbe Fia Yoram trɔ va Yezreel be woada gbe le abi si Arameatɔwo de eŋu le aʋa la wɔwɔ me kple Aram fia Hazael la nɛ.) Yehu gblɔ na ame siwo nɔ egbɔ la be, “Esi miedi be maɖu fia la, migana ame aɖeke nasi ayi Yezreel aɖagblɔ nu si míewɔ la o.”
But king Jehoram was returned to be healed in Yizre'el of the wounds which the Syrians had inflicted on him, when he was fighting with Chazael the king of Syria.) And Jehu said, If this be your mind, then let none that escapeth go forth out of the city to go to tell it in Yizre'el.
16 Yehu ge ɖe tasiaɖam me enumake eye eya ŋutɔ yi Yezreel be yeaɖadi Fia Yoram, ame si xɔ abi eye wòmlɔ afi ma. Yuda fia Ahazia hã va afi ma be yeakpɔ Fia Yoram ɖa.
So Jehu rode in a chariot, and went to Yizre'el; for Joram was lying there. And Achazyah the king of Judah was come down to see Joram.
17 Dzɔla si nɔ Fia Yehoram ƒe gbetakpɔxɔ dzi la kpɔ Yehu kple eƒe amewo gbɔna ɖa eye wòdo ɣli be, “Ame aɖe gbɔna!” Fia Yehoram ɖe gbe be, “Dɔ sɔdola aɖe ɖa wòakpɔe ɖa be xɔlɔ̃e loo alo futɔe hã.”
And the watchman stood on the tower in Yizre'el, and he saw the company of Jehu as he came; and he said, A company do I see, And Jehoram said, Take a horseman, and send out to meet them, and let him say, Is it peace?
18 Ale asrafo aɖe do sɔ yi ɖakpe Yehu hegblɔ nɛ be, “Fia la di be yeanya nenye xɔlɔ̃e nènye loo alo futɔe nènye. Ŋutifafa mee nèva lea?” Yehu ɖo eŋu be, “Nu ka nènya tso ŋutifafa ŋu? Dze yonyeme.” Dzɔla la do ɣli gblɔ na fia la be ame dɔdɔ la yi ɖakpee gake mele gbɔgbɔm o.
So there went one riding on horseback to meet him, and said, Thus hath said the king, Is it peace? And Jehu said, What hast thou to do with peace? turn thee about behind me. And the watchman told, saying, The messenger came up to them, but he hath not returned.
19 Ale fia la gaɖo sɔdola bubu ɖa. Eyi ɖatu wo eye wògblɔ na wo be, “Ale fia la gblɔe nye esi, ‘Ŋutifafa dzie mielea?’” Yehu ɖo eŋu be, “Ŋutifafanya kae tsɔ gbɔwò? Va, dze yonyeme!”
Then sent he out a second rider on horseback, who came to them, and said, Thus hath said the king, Is it peace? And Jehu answered, What hast thou to do with peace? turn thee about behind me.
20 Dzɔla la gado ɣli be, “Eya hã mele gbɔgbɔm o! Yehu kokoko wòanye elabena eƒe tasiaɖam le du ƒum sesĩe.”
And the watchman told, saying, He came up to them, but he hath not returned: and the driving is like the driving of Jehu the son of Nimshi; for he driveth as though he were mad.
21 Fia Yoram ɖe gbe be, “Netsɔ, midzra nye tasiaɖam ɖo nam!” Ale eya kple Yuda fia, Ahazia woyi ɖado go Yehu le Nabɔt ƒe agble me.
And Jehoram said, Harness up. And his chariot was harnessed up. And Jehoram the king of Israel and Achazyahu the king of Judah went out, each in his chariot, and they went out to meet Jehu, and found him in the portion of land of Naboth the Yizre'elite.
22 Fia Yehoram biae be, “Yehu, ŋutifafa dzie nèlea?” Yehu ɖo eŋu be, “Zi ale si dawò Yezebel ƒe trɔ̃subɔsubɔ kple adzewɔwɔ gale mía dome kokoko la, aleke ŋutifafa ate ŋu anɔ anyi?”
And it came to pass, when Jehoram saw Jehu, that he said, Is it peace, Jehu? And he said, What peace can there be with the acts of incest of thy mother Izebel and her many witchcrafts?
23 Fia Yoram trɔ eƒe tasiaɖam la kaba eye wòsi dzo yina. Edo ɣli gblɔ na Fia Ahazia be, “Ahazia, nugbeɖoɖoe!”
And Jehoram turned about, and fled, and said to Achazyahu, Treachery, Achazyahu.
24 Tete Yehu he eƒe da me kple eƒe ŋusẽ katã eye wòte Yehoram ƒe megbe kpam. Aŋutrɔ la ŋɔe yi ɖatɔ eƒe dzi eye wòmu dze tasiaɖam la me heku.
And Jehu grasped the bow with his full strength, and struck Jehoram between his arms, and the arrow went out at his heart, and he sunk down in his chariot.
25 Yehu gblɔ na Bidkar, ame si nye eƒe tasiaɖamkula gã be, “Kɔe eye nàtsɔe aƒu gbe ɖe Yezreeltɔ Nabɔt ƒe agble me. Ɖo ŋku ale si nye kpli wò míenɔ tasiaɖamwo me nɔ fofoa Ahab megbe esi Yehowa ƒe nyagblɔɖi sia va ku ɖe eŋuti be,
Then said he to Bidkar his officer, Lift up, [and] cast him down in the part of the field that was Naboth's the Yizre'elite; for remember how that I and thou rode alongside each other after Achab his father, when the Lord pronounced over him this fatal decree:
26 ‘Etsɔ si va yi la mekpɔ Nabɔt ƒe ʋu kple viawo ƒe ʋu. Yehowae gblɔe eye makpɔ egbɔ be, exɔ tohehe ɖe nu sia ta le anyigba sia dzi. Yehowae gblɔe.’ Eya ta azɔ la kɔe ƒu gbe ɖe anyigba ma dzi le Yehowa ƒe nya la nu.”
Surely I have seen yesterday the blood of Naboth, and the blood of his sons, saith the Lord; and I will repay thee in this part of the field, saith the Lord. And now lift up, [and] cast him down into the field, according to the word of the Lord.
27 Esi Yuda fia Ahazia kpɔ nu si va dzɔ la, esi dze Bet Hagan mɔ dzi. Yehu kplɔe ɖo nɔ ɣli dom be, “Miwu eya hã!” Ale wode abi eŋu le eƒe tasiaɖam la me le Gur si te ɖe Ibleam ŋuti la ƒe mɔ dzi, ke ete ŋu si dzo yi Megido afi si wòyi ɖaku ɖo.
And when Achazyahu the king of Judah saw this, he fled by the way of the garden-house; but Jehu pursued after him, and said, Also him smite in the chariot. [And they did so] on the ascent to Gur, which is by Yible'am. And he fled to Megiddo, and died there.
28 Eƒe dɔlawo kɔe de tasiaɖam me yi Yerusalem eye woɖii ɖe fofoawo gbɔ ɖe eƒe yɔdo me le David ƒe du la me.
And his servants carried him in a chariot to Jerusalem, and buried him in his sepulchre with his fathers in the city of David.
29 Ahazia ƒe fiaɖuɖu ɖe Yuda dzi dze egɔme le Ahab ƒe vi Yoram ƒe fiaɖuɖu ɖe Israel dzi ƒe ƒe wuiɖekɛlia me.
And in the eleventh year of Joram the son of Achab became Achazyah king over Judah.
30 Esi Yezebel se be Yehu va Yezreel la, ede ama eƒe aɖaba, dzra eƒe taɖa ɖo nyuie eye wòtsi tsitre ɖe fiasã la ƒe fesre ɖeka to hele mɔtata la dzi kpɔm.
And Jehu came to Yizre'el; and when Izebel heard of it, she painted her eyes, and ornamented her head, and looked out at the window.
31 Esi Yehu ge ɖe fiasã la me la, Yezebel do ɣli ɖe eta gblɔ be, “Wò, Zimri, wò amewula, nu ka dim nèle le afi sia?”
And as Jehu entered in at the gate, she said, Is it peace, O Zimri, who hath slain his master?
32 Yehu fɔ kɔ dzi, kpɔ Yezebel le fesre la nu eye wòdo ɣli bia be, “Ame kawoe le dzinye?” Ŋutsu tata eve alo etɔ̃ do mo ɖe fesre la nu kpɔe ɖo ɖa.
And he lifted up his face to the window, and said, Who is on my side? who? And there looked out to him two or three chamberlains.
33 Yehu gblɔ na wo be, “Midae ɖo ɖe anyigba!” Ale woda Yezebel to fesre la to wòge va dze anyigba. Eƒe ʋu hlẽ ɖe gli la kple sɔwo ŋu, Yehu do eƒe tasiaɖam kple sɔwo, zɔ eƒe ŋutilã kukua dzi.
And he said, Pitch her down. So they pitched her down: and some of her blood was sprinkled on the wall, and on the horses; and he trod her under foot.
34 Ege ɖe fiasã la me heɖu nu eye wòno nu le afi ma. Le esia megbe la, egblɔ be, “Ame aɖe nayi aɖaɖi nyɔnu fiƒodeme sia elabena fia vinyɔnue.”
And he came in, and ate and drank; and then said he, Look, I pray you, after this accursed one, and bury her; for she is a king's daughter.
35 Esi woyi be yewoaɖii la, eƒe taƒu kple eƒe afɔwo kple eƒe asiwo ko wokpɔ.
And they went to bury her: but they found nothing of her but the skull, and the feet, and the palms of the hands.
36 Esi wotrɔ gbɔ va gblɔ nu siwo wokpɔ na Yehu la, egblɔ be, “Nu si tututu Yehowa gblɔ lae va eme! Egblɔ na Nyagblɔɖila Eliya be avuwo aɖu Yezebel ƒe kukua le Yezreel
And they returned, and told him; and he said, It is the word of the Lord, which he spoke by means of his servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, In the field of Yizre'el shall the dogs eat the flesh of Izebel:
37 eye eƒe ŋutilã akaka ɖe anyigba abe ale si wokakaa aɖu ɖe agble me ene, ale be ame aɖeke mate ŋu agblɔ be Yezebel ƒe ŋutilãe nye esia o.”
And the carcass of Izebel shall be as dung upon the face of the field in the portion of Yizre'el; so that they shall not say, This is Izebel.
