2 Ndị Eze 9
1 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.
And Elisaie the prophet called one of the sons of the prophets, and said to him, Gird up your loins, and take this cruse of oil in your hand, and go to Remmoth Galaad.
2 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.
And you shall enter there, and shall see there Ju the son of Josaphat son of Namessi, and shall go in and make him rise up from amongst his brethren, and shall bring him into a secret chamber.
3 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.”
And you shall take the cruse of oil, and pour [it] on his head, and say you, Thus says the Lord, I have anointed you king over Israel: and you shall open the door, and flee, and not wait.
4 Nwokorobịa onye amụma ahụ gara Ramọt Gilead.
And the young man the prophet went to Remmoth Galaad.
5 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.”
And he went in, and, behold, the captains of the host were sitting; and he said, I have a message to you, O captain. And Ju said, To which of all us? And he said, To you, O captain.
6 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.
And he arose, and went into the house: and he poured the oil upon his head, and said to him, Thus says the Lord God of Israel, I have anointed you to be king over the people of the Lord, even over Israel.
7 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.
And you shall utterly destroy the house of Achaab your master from before me, and shall avenge the blood of my servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of the Lord, at the hand of Jezabel,
8 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.
and at the hand of the whole house of Achaab: and you shall utterly cut off from the house of Achaab every male, and him that is shut up and left in Israel.
9 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.
And I will make the house of Achaab like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, and as the house of Baasa the son of Achia.
10 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.
And the dogs shall eat Jezabel in the portion of Jezreel, and there shall be none to bury her. And he opened the door, and fled.
11 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.”
And Ju went forth to the servants of his lord, and they said to him, [Is] all well? Why came this mad fellow in to you? And he said to them, You know the man, and his communication.
12 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.’”
And they said, [It is] wrong: tell us now. And Ju said to them, Thus and thus spoke he to me, saying, —and he said, Thus says the Lord, I have anointed you to be king over Israel.
13 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!”
And when they heard it, they hasted, and took every man his garment, and put it under him on the top of the stairs, and blew with the trumpet, and said, Ju is king.
14 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.)
So Ju the son of Josaphat the son of Namessi conspired against Joram, and Joram was defending Remmoth Galaad, he and all Israel, because of Azael king of Syria.
15 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.”
And king Joram had returned to be healed in Jezrael of the wounds which the Syrians had given him, in his war with Azael king of Syria. And Ju said, If your heart is with me, let there not go forth out of the city one fugitive to go and report to Jezrael.
16 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.
And Ju rode and advanced, and came down to Jezrael; for Joram king of Israel was getting healed in Jezrael of the arrow-wounds wherewith the Syrians [had] wounded him in Rammath in the war with Azael king of Syria; for he [was] strong and a mighty man: and Ochozias king of Juda was come down to see Joram.
17 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?’”
And there went up a watchman upon the tower of Jezrael, and saw the dust [made by] Ju as he approached; and he said, I see dust. And Joram said, Take a horseman, and send to meet them, and let him say, Peace.
18 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.”
And there went a horseman to meet them, and said, Thus says the king, Peace. And Ju said, What have you to do with peace? turn behind me. And the watchman reported, saying, The messenger came up to them, and has not returned.
19 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.”
And he sent another horseman, and he came to him, and said, Thus says the king, Peace. And Ju said, What have you to do with peace? turn behind me.
20 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.”
And the watchman reported, saying, He came up to them, and has not returned: and the driver drives Ju the son of Namessi, for it is with furious [haste].
21 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.
And Joram said, Make ready. And one made ready the chariot: and Joram the king of Israel went forth, and Ochozias king of Juda, each in his chariot, and they went to meet Ju, and found him in the portion of Nabuthai the Jezraelite.
22 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.”
And it came to pass when Joram saw Ju, that he said, [Is it] peace, Ju? And Ju said, How [can it be] peace? as yet [there are] the whoredoms of your mother Jezabel, and her abundant witchcrafts.
23 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!”
And Joram turned his hands, and fled, and said to Ochozias, Treachery, Ochozias.
24 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.
And Ju bent his bow with his full strength, and struck Joram between his arms, and his arrow went out at his heart, and he bowed upon his knees.
25 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.
And [Ju] said to Badecar his chief officer, Cast him into the portion of ground of Nabuthai the Jezraelite, for I and you remember, riding [as we were] on chariots after Achaab his father, that the Lord took up this burden against him, [saying],
26 ‘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.”
Surely, I have seen yesterday the blood of Nabuthai, and the blood of his sons, says the Lord; and I will recompense him in this portion, says the Lord. Now then, I pray you, take him up and cast him into the portion, according to the word of the Lord.
27 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.
And Ochozias king of Juda saw [it], and fled by the way of Baethgan. And Ju pursued after him, and said, [Slay] him also. And one struck him in the chariot at the going up of Gai, which is Jeblaam: and he fled to Mageddo, and died there.
28 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.
And his servants put him on a chariot, and brought him to Jerusalem, and they buried him in his sepulchre in the city of David.
29 Nʼafọ iri na otu nke ọchịchị Joram nwa Ehab, ka Ahazaya malitere ịbụ eze Juda.
And in the eleventh year of Joram king of Israel, Ochozias began to reign over Juda.
30 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.
And Ju came to Jezrael; and Jezabel heard [of it], and coloured her eyes, and adorned her head, and looked through the window.
31 Mgbe Jehu batara nʼọnụ ụzọ e si abata ụlọeze, Jezebel kpọkuru ya sị, “Ị bịara nʼudo, gị Zimri, gị onye gburu nna gị ukwu.”
And Ju entered into the city; and she said, Had Zambri, the murderer of his master, peace?
32 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.
And he lifted up his face towards the window, and saw her, and said, Who are you? Come down with me. And two eunuchs looked down towards him.
33 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.
And he said, Throw her [down]. And they threw her [down]; and some of her blood was sprinkled on the wall, and on the horses: and they trampled on her.
34 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.”
And [Ju] went in and ate and drank, and said, Look now, after this cursed woman, and bury her, for she is a king's daughter.
35 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.
And they went to bury her; but they found nothing of her but the skull, and the feet, and the palms of her hands.
36 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.
And they returned and told him. And he said, [It is] the word of the Lord, which he spoke by the hand of Eliu the Thesbite, saying, In the portion of Jezrael shall the dogs eat the flesh of Jezabel.
37 Ozu Jezebel ga-adị ka unyi nʼala ubi dị na Jezril, ruo na mmadụ enweghị ike ikwupụta sị, Nke a bụ Jezebel.’”
And the carcass of Jezabel shall be as dung on the face of the field in the portion of Jezrael, so that they shall not say, [This is] Jezabel.
