2 Athamaki 9
1 Na rĩrĩ, mũnabii Elisha agĩĩta mũndũ ũmwe wa thiritũ ya anabii, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Thinĩkĩra nguo yaku ya igũrũ mũcibi-inĩ, na ũkuue mbũthũ ĩno ya maguta, ũthiĩ nginya Ramothu-Gileadi.
Then Elisha the Prophet called one of ye children of the Prophets, and sayde vnto him, Gird thy loynes and take this boxe of oyle in thine hand and get thee to Ramoth Gilead.
2 Wakinya kũu, ũcarie Jehu mũrũ wa Jehoshafatu, mũrũ wa Nimushi. Ũthiĩ kũrĩ we, ũmũtigithanie na andũ a thiritũ yake, ũmũingĩrie kanyũmba ga thĩinĩ.
And when thou commest thither, looke where is Iehu ye sonne of Iehoshaphat, the sonne of Nimshi, and go, and make him arise vp from among his brethren, and leade him to a secret chamber.
3 Ũcooke woe mbũthũ ya maguta ũmũitĩrĩrie mũtwe na uuge atĩrĩ, ‘Jehova ekuuga ũũ: Ndagũitĩrĩria maguta ũtuĩke mũthamaki wa Isiraeli.’ Ũcooke ũhingũre mũrango ũre; ndũgaikare!”
Then take the boxe of oyle and powre it on his head, and say, Thus sayth the Lord, I haue anointed thee for King ouer Israel. then open the doore, and flee without any tarying.
4 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mwanake ũcio mũnabii agĩthiĩ nginya Ramothu-Gileadi.
So the seruat of ye Prophet gate him to Ramoth Gilead.
5 Rĩrĩa aakinyire kuo, agĩkora anene a mbũtũ cia ita maikarĩte hamwe. Akĩĩra mũnene wao atĩrĩ, “Mũnene, ndĩ na ndũmĩrĩri yaku.” Nake Jehu akĩũria atĩrĩ, “Ithuothe-rĩ, nĩ ũrĩkũ ũrĩ na ndũmĩrĩri yake?” Nake akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Nĩwe mũnene, ndũmĩrĩri nĩ yaku.”
And when he came in, behold, the captaines of the armie were sitting. And he sayde, I haue a message to thee, O captaine. And Iehu sayd, Vnto which of all vs? And he answered, To thee, O captaine.
6 Jehu agĩũkĩra, akĩingĩra nyũmba. Nake mũnabii agĩitĩrĩria Jehu maguta mũtwe, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Jehova Ngai wa Isiraeli ekuuga ũũ: ‘Ndagũitĩrĩria maguta ũtuĩke mũthamaki wa andũ a Jehova a Isiraeli.
And he arose, and went into the house, and he powred the oyle on his head and sayde vnto him, Thus sayth the Lord God of Israel, I haue anointed thee for King ouer the people of the Lord, euen ouer Israel.
7 Wee-rĩ, nĩũkaniina nyũmba ya Ahabu mwathi waku nĩgeetha ndĩĩrĩhĩrie thakame ya anabii ndungata ciakwa, na thakame ya ndungata cia Jehova ciothe ĩrĩa yaitirwo nĩ Jezebeli.
And thou shalt smite the house of Ahab thy master, that I may auenge the blood of my seruants the Prophets, and the blood of al the seruants of the Lord of the hand of Iezebel.
8 Nyũmba yothe ya Ahabu nĩĩgathira biũ. Nĩnganiina nyũmba yothe ya Ahabu na ndĩmũniinĩre arũme othe, arĩa ngombo na arĩa matarĩ ngombo thĩinĩ wa Isiraeli.
For the whole house of Ahab shalbe destroied: and I will cut off from Ahab, him that maketh water against the wall, as well him that is shut vp, as him that is left in Israel.
9 Nyũmba ya Ahabu ngaamĩtua o ta nyũmba ya Jeroboamu mũrũ wa Nebati, na ta ya Baasha mũrũ wa Ahija.
And I will make the house of Ahab like the house of Ieroboam the sonne of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the sonne of Ahiiah.
10 Ha ũhoro wa Jezebeli-rĩ, agaatambuurangwo nĩ ngui arĩ mũgũnda-inĩ wa Jezireeli, na gũtirĩ mũndũ ũkaamũthika.’” Nake akĩhingũra mũrango akĩũra.
And the dogges shall eate Iezebel in the fielde of Izreel, and there shalbe none to burie her. And he opened the doore, and fled.
11 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Jehu ooimire nja kũrĩ anene a thiritũ yake, mũndũ ũmwe wao akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Maũndũ mothe nĩ mega? Mũgũrũki ũcio egũũkĩte kũrĩ we nĩkĩ?” Nake Jehu agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Wee nĩũũĩ mũndũ ũcio o na maũndũ marĩa aaragia.”
Then Iehu came out to the seruants of his lord. And one sayd vnto him, Is all well? wherefore came this mad fellowe to thee? And hee sayde vnto them, Ye knowe the man, and what his talke was.
12 Nao makiuga atĩrĩ, “Tiga gũtũheenia, twĩre ma.” Jehu akiuga atĩrĩ, “Anjĩĩra ũũ: ‘Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: Ndagũitĩrĩria maguta ũtuĩke mũthamaki wa Isiraeli.’”
And they sayde, It is false, tell vs it nowe. Then he sayd, Thus and thus spake he to me, saying, Thus saieth the Lord, I haue anointed thee for King ouer Israel.
13 Nao makĩhiũha kuoya nguo ciao cia igũrũ, magĩciara ngathĩ-inĩ cia nyũmba arũgame ho, magĩcooka makĩhuha karumbeta na makĩanĩrĩra atĩrĩ, “Jehu nĩwe mũthamaki!”
Then they made haste, and tooke euerie man his garment, and put it vnder him on the top of the staires, and blewe the trumpet, saying, Iehu is King.
14 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, Jehu mũrũ wa Jehoshafatu, mũrũ wa Nimushi, agĩciirĩra gũũkĩrĩra Joramu. (Hĩndĩ ĩyo Joramu na Isiraeli yothe maagitagĩra Ramothu-Gileadi, kuuma kũrĩ Hazaeli mũthamaki wa Suriata.
So Iehu ye sonne of Iehoshaphat the sonne of Nimshi conspired against Ioram: (Now Ioram kept Ramoth Gilead, he and all Israel, because of Hazael King of Aram.
15 No Mũthamaki Joramu nĩacookete Jezireeli akahonie ironda iria aagurarĩtio nĩ Asuriata, rĩrĩa maarũaga na Hazaeli mũthamaki wa Suriata.) Nake Jehu akiuga atĩrĩ, “Angĩkorwo nĩmwetĩkĩra ũguo, mũtikareke mũndũ o na ũmwe oime itũũra-inĩ athiĩ akaheane ũhoro ũcio Jezireeli.”
And King Ioram returned to bee healed in Izreel of the woundes, which the Aramites had giuen him, when hee fought with Hazael King of Aram) and Iehu sayde, If it be your mindes, let no man depart and escape out of the citie, to goe and tell in Izreel.
16 Ningĩ Jehu akĩhaica ngaari yake ya ita, agĩthiĩ Jezireeli, tondũ nĩkuo Joramu aahurũkĩte, na Ahazia mũthamaki wa Juda nĩaikũrũkĩte agathiĩ kũmũrora.
So Iehu gate vp into a charet, and went to Izreel: for Ioram lay there, and Ahaziah King of Iudah was come downe to see Ioram.
17 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa mũrori wa itũũra aarũgamĩte mũthiringo-inĩ mũraihu na igũrũ kũu Jezireeli, akĩona mbũtũ cia ita cia Jehu igĩũka, agĩĩtana, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩndĩrona mbũtũ cia ita igĩũka.” Nake Joramu agĩathana, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ethaai mũndũ wa mbarathi, ũmũtũme athiĩ acitũnge, aciũrie atĩrĩ, ‘Mũũkĩte na thayũ’?”
And the watchman that stoode in the towre in Izreel spyed the companie of Iehu as hee came, and sayd, I see a companie. And Iehoram said, Take a horseman and send to meete them, that hee may say, Is it peace?
18 Nake mũndũ ũcio akĩhaica mbarathi, agĩthiĩ gũtũnga Jehu, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ũũ nĩguo mũthamaki ekũũria: ‘Wee-rĩ, ũũkĩte na thayũ’?” Nake Jehu akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ũrĩ na ũhoro ũrĩkũ na thayũ? Nyuma thuutha.” Nake mũrori wa itũũra agĩcookia ũhoro, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũrĩa twatũma nĩakinya harĩo, na ndaracooka na gũkũ.”
So there went one on horseback to meete him, and sayde, Thus sayth the King, Is it peace? And Iehu sayd, What hast thou to do with peace? Turne behinde me. And the watchman tolde, saying, The messenger came to them, but he commeth not againe.
19 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũthamaki agĩtũma mũndũ wa keerĩ wa mbarathi. Aakinya kũrĩ o akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ũũ nĩguo mũthamaki eekũũria: ‘Mũũkĩte na thayũ?’” Nake Jehu agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Ũrĩ na ũhoro ũrĩkũ na thayũ? Nyuma thuutha.”
Then hee sent out another on horsebacke, which came to them, and sayde, Thus sayth the King, Is it peace? And Iehu answered, What hast thou to doe with peace? turne behinde me.
20 Nake mũrori wa itũũra agĩcookia ũhoro, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩakinya harĩo, no-o nake ndaracooka na gũkũ. Mũtwarĩre wa ngaari ya ita nĩ ta mũtwarĩre wa Jehu mũrũ wa Nimushi; atwarithagia ta mũgũrũki.”
And the watchman tolde, saying, He came to them also, but commeth not againe, and the marching is like the marching of Iehu the sonne of Nimshi: for he marcheth furiously.
21 Nake Joramu agĩathana, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ohererai mbarathi ngaari-inĩ yakwa ya ita.” Na ciohererwo, Joramu mũthamaki wa Isiraeli na Ahazia mũthamaki wa Juda makiumagara, o mũndũ arĩ ngaari-inĩ yake ya ita, magatũnge Jehu. Magĩcemania nake kamũgũnda-inĩ karĩa kaarĩ ka Nabothu ũrĩa Mũjezireeli.
Then Iehoram sayd, Make ready: and his charet was made ready. And Iehoram King of Israel and Ahaziah King of Iudah went out eyther of them in his charet against Iehu, and met him in the fielde of Naboth the Izreelite.
22 Rĩrĩa Joramu onire Jehu, akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Jehu, ũũkĩte na thayũ?” Nake Jehu agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Kũngĩgĩa na thayũ atĩa, ũhooi wa mĩhianano wothe na ũrogi wa nyũkwa, Jezebeli, ũingĩhĩte ũũ?”
And when Iehoram sawe Iehu, he sayde, Is it peace, Iehu? And he answered, What peace? whiles the whoredomes of thy mother Iezebel, and her witchcraftes are yet in great nomber?
23 Joramu akĩgarũrũka akĩũra, akiugaga atĩrĩ, “Ahazia, kũrĩ na njikanĩrĩrio!”
Then Iehoram turned his hand, and fled, and said to Ahaziah, O Ahaziah, there is treason.
24 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Jehu akĩruta ũta wake, akĩratha Joramu gatagatĩ ga ciande. Naguo mũguĩ ũgĩtheeca ngoro yake, agĩtungumana ngaari-inĩ yake.
But Iehu tooke a bowe in his hande, and smote Iehoram betweene the shoulders, that the arowe went through his heart: and he fell downe in his charet.
25 Nake Jehu akĩĩra Bidikari mũnene wa ngaari yake ya ita atĩrĩ, “Muoe ũmũikie mũgũnda-inĩ ũrĩa warĩ wa Nabothu ũrĩa Mũjezireeli. Ririkana rĩrĩa niĩ nawe twatwaraga ngaari cia ita tũrĩ thuutha wa ithe Ahabu, rĩrĩa Jehova aaririe ũrathi ũyũ ũmũkoniĩ, akiuga ũũ:
Then said Iehu to Bidkar a captaine, Take, and cast him in some place of the fielde of Naboth the Izreelite: for I remember that when I and thou rode together after Ahab his father, the Lord layed this burden vpon him.
26 ‘Mũthenya wa ira nĩndĩronire thakame ya Nabothu na thakame ya ariũ ake, nĩguo Jehova ekuuga, na ti-itherũ nĩngatũma ũmĩrĩhĩre mũgũnda-inĩ o ũyũ, nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.’ Rĩu kĩmuoe, ũmũikie mũgũnda-inĩ ũcio, kũringana na kiugo kĩa Jehova.”
Surely I haue seene yesterday the blood of Naboth, and the blood of his sonnes, saide the Lord, and I will render it thee in this fielde, saith the Lord: nowe therefore take and cast him in the fielde, according to the word of the Lord.
27 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Ahazia mũthamaki wa Juda onire ũrĩa kwahaana, akĩũra na njĩra ya Bethi-Hagani. Nake Jehu akĩmũhanyũkia, akĩanagĩrĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũũragei o nake!” Nao makĩmũgurarĩria arĩ ngaari-inĩ yake ya ita erekeire Guri hakuhĩ na Ibileamu, no akĩũrĩra Megido, agĩkuĩra kuo.
But when Ahaziah the King of Iudah saw this, he fled by the way of the garden house: And Iehu pursued after him, and sayd, Smite him also in the charet: and they smote him in the going vp to Gur, which is by Ibleam. And hee fled to Megiddo, and there dyed.
28 Nacio ndungata ciake ikĩmũkuua na ngaari ya ita, ikĩmũtwara Jerusalemu, na makĩmũthika hamwe na maithe make mbĩrĩra-inĩ yake, itũũra-inĩ rĩa Daudi.
And his seruants caried him in a charet to Ierusalem, and buried him in his sepulchre with his fathers in the citie of Dauid.
29 (Ahazia aatuĩkĩte mũthamaki wa Juda mwaka-inĩ wa ikũmi na ũmwe wa wathani wa Joramu mũrũ wa Ahabu).
And in the eleuenth yere of Ioram the sonne of Ahab, began Ahaziah to reigne ouer Iudah.
30 Ningĩ Jehu agĩthiĩ Jezireeli. Na rĩrĩa Jezebeli aaiguire ũguo-rĩ, akĩhaka maitho make rangi na akĩgemia njuĩrĩ yake, agĩcũthĩrĩria nja arĩ ndirica-inĩ.
And when Iehu was come to Izreel, Iezebel heard of it, and painted her face, and tired her head, and looked out at a windowe.
31 Rĩrĩa Jehu aatoonyaga kĩhingo-inĩ, Jezebeli akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Ũũkĩte na thayũ, Zimuri, wee mũũragi wa mwathi waku?”
And as Iehu entred at the gate, shee sayde, Had Zimri peace, which slewe his master?
32 Nake Jehu akĩrora na igũrũ ndirica-inĩ, agĩĩtana akĩũria atĩrĩ, “Nũũ ũrĩ mwena wakwa? Nũũ?” Nao andũ eerĩ kana atatũ maarĩ ahakũre makĩmũrora arĩ thĩ.
And he lift vp his eyes to the windowe, and sayd, Who is on my side, who? Then two or three of her Eunuches looked vnto him.
33 Nake Jehu akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mũikiei thĩ!” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio makĩmũikia akĩgũa thĩ, nayo thakame ĩmwe yake ĩkĩminjũkĩra rũthingo o hamwe na mbarathi iria ciamũrangagĩrĩria thĩ na magũrũ ma cio.
And he sayde, Cast her downe: and they cast her downe, and hee sprinkled of her blood vpon the wall, and vpon the horses, and he trode her vnder foote.
34 Jehu agĩtoonya nyũmba ya ũthamaki thĩinĩ akĩrĩa na akĩnyua. Nake akiuga atĩrĩ, “Menyererai mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio mũrume, na mũmũthike tondũ araarĩ mwarĩ wa mũthamaki.”
And when he was come in, he did eate and drinke, and sayde, Visite now yonder cursed woman, and burie her: for she is a Kings daughter.
35 No rĩrĩa maathiire nja makamũthike, matiakorire kĩndũ o na kĩmwe kĩa mwĩrĩ wake, tiga o ihĩndĩ rĩa mũtwe wake, na magũrũ, na moko make.
And they went to burie her, but they foud no more of her, then the skull and the feete, and the palmes of her handes.
36 Nao makĩhũndũka, makĩĩra Jehu ũhoro ũcio, nake akiuga atĩrĩ, “Gĩkĩ nĩ kiugo kĩa Jehova kĩrĩa aaririe na kanua ka ndungata yake Elija ũrĩa Mũtishibi, akiuga atĩrĩ: Ngui nĩikaarĩa mwĩrĩ wa Jezebeli kamũgũnda-inĩ ka Jezireeli.
Wherefore they came agayne and tolde him. And he said, This is the worde of the Lord, which he spake by his seruant Eliiah the Tishbite, saying, In the fielde of Izreel shall ye dogs eate the flesh of Iezebel.
37 Nakĩo kĩimba kĩa Jezebeli gĩgaatuĩka o ta rũrua kĩrĩ thĩ kamũgũnda-inĩ ka Jezireeli, nĩgeetha gũtikagĩe mũndũ ũkaahota kuuga atĩrĩ, ‘Ũyũ nĩ Jezebeli.’”
And the carkeis of Iezebel shalbe as doung vpon the ground in the field of Izreel, so that none shall say, This is Iezebel.
