2 Mpanjaka 9
1 Ary Elisa mpaminany niantso ny anankiray tamin’ ny zanakalahin’ ny mpaminany ka nanao taminy hoe: Misikìna, dia ento eny an-tananao ity tavoara feno diloilo ity, ka mankanesa any Ramota-gileada;
Elisha the prophet called one of the sons of the prophets and told him, “Put your cloak into your belt, take this flask of olive oil, and go to Ramoth-gilead.
2 ary rehefa mby any ianao, dia izahao Jeho, zanak’ i Josafata, zanak’ i Nimsy, ary midìra, ka manaingà azy hiala amin’ ny namany, ary ento any amin’ ny efi-trano anatiny izy;
Once you get there, look for Jehu, son of Jehoshaphat, son of Nimshi. Go in, get him away from his companions, and take him to an inner room. Get him to leave his friends, lead him to a private room,
3 ary raiso ny tavoara feno diloilo, ka aidino amin’ ny lohany, dia lazao hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Efa nanosotra anao ho mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely Aho. Dia vohay ny varavarana, ka mandosira, fa aza mijanona.
take the flask of olive oil, and pour it on his head. Tell him, ‘This is what the Lord says: I anoint you king of Israel.’ Then open the door and run away! Don't wait around!”
4 Ary nandeha ilay zatovo, dia ilay zatovon’ ny mpaminany, nankany Ramota-gileada.
So the young prophet went to Ramoth-gilead.
5 Ary nony mby tany izy, indreo, nipetraka teo ny mpifehy ny miaramila; ary hoy izy: Ry komandy ô, mitondra teny ho aminao aho. Ary hoy Jeho: Amin’ iza aminay ireto moa? Ary hoy izy: Aminao, ry komandy ô.
When he arrived, he saw the army commanders sitting around. “I've got a message for you, commander,” he said. “For which one of us?” Jehu asked. “For you, commander,” he replied.
6 Ary nitsangana izy ka niditra tao an-trano, dia naidiny tamin’ ny lohany ny diloilo; ary hoy izy taminy: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely: Efa nanosotra anao Aho ho mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely oloko.
Jehu got up and went inside, where the young prophet poured the olive oil on his head and announced to him, “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: ‘I anoint you king over the Lord's people Israel.
7 Ary hamely ny tamingan’ i Ahaba tomponao ianao, mba hampanodiaviko an’ i Jezebela ny ran’ ny mpaminany mpanompoko sy ny ran’ ny mpanompon’ i Jehovah rehetra.
You are going to destroy the family of Ahab, your master. You will avenge the blood my prophets and the blood of all the Lord's servants killed by Jezebel.
8 Eny, ho fongotra ny taranak’ i Ahaba rehetra; ary haringako avokoa ny lehilahy rehetra amin’ ny tamingany, na ny voahazona na ny afaka eo amin’ ny Isiraely;
The whole house of Ahab will be eradicated—I will destroy all the males of Ahab's family in Israel, both slave and free.
9 Ary ny taranak’ i Ahaba hataoko tahaka ny taranak’ i Jeroboama, zanak’ i Nebata, sy tahaka ny taranak’ i Basa, zanak’ i Ahia;
I will make the house of Ahab like the house of Jeroboam, son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha, son of Ahijah.
10 Ary Jezebela hohanin’ ny alika ao amin’ ny tany Jezirela, ka tsy hisy handevina azy. Dia namoha ny varavarana ilay zatovo ka lasa nandositra.
Dogs will eat Jezebel, Ahab's wife, at the plot of ground in Jezreel, and no one will bury her.” Then the young prophet opened the door and ran away.
11 Ary Jeho nivoaka nankao amin’ ny mpanompon’ ny tompony ary nanontaniany hoe: Raharaha tsara ihany va? Inona no nalehan’ iny ilay adala iny tao aminao? Ary hoy izy taminy: Hianareo mahalala ihany an-dralehilahy sy ny heviny.
When Jehu went back out to the other officers of his master, they asked him, “Is everything fine? Why did this crazy man come to you?” “You know what he's like, and how he goes on and on,” he replied.
12 Fa hoy ireo: Lainga foana izany; fa ambarao aminay. Dia hoy izy: Izao ka izao no nolazainy tamiko: Izao ny lazain’ i Jehovah: Efa nanosotra anao ho mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely Aho.
“Liar!” they said. “Please tell us what's going on.” “Well, he talked to me about this and that, and he told me, ‘This is what the Lord says: I anoint you king over Israel.’”
13 Dia samy nandray faingana ny lambany avy izy ireo ka namelatra azy hitoeran’ i Jeho teo amin’ ny ambaratonga, ary nitsoka ny anjomara izy niantso hoe: Jeho no mpanjaka.
They quickly grabbed their cloaks and spread them on the bare steps. They blew the trumpet and shouted, “Jehu is king!”
14 Ary Jeho, zanak’ i Josafata, zanak’ i Nimsy, nikomy tamin’ i Jorama (fa Jorama mbamin’ ny Isiraely rehetra niaro an’ i Ramota-gileada noho ny fananihan’ i Hazaela, mpanjakan’ i Syria, azy;
So Jehu, son of Jehoshaphat, son of Nimshi, plotted rebellion against Joram. Joram and the whole Israelite army had been defending Ramoth-Gilead against Hazael, king of Aram.
15 Nefa Jorama mpanjaka efa niverina hotsaboina tao Jezirela amin’ ny feriny tamin’ ny nahavoazan’ ny Syriana azy, fony izy niady tamin’ i Hazaela, mpanjakan’ i Syria), ka dia hoy Jeho; Raha izany ary no sitrakareo, aza avela hisy hiala eto an-tanàna handeha hilaza izany any Jezirela.
But Joram had returned to Jezreel to recover from the wounds he'd received fighting against Hazael, king of Aram. So Jehu said, “If you commanders want to make me king, don't let anyone leave town and go and announce it in Jezreel.”
16 Dia niakatra teo amin’ ny kalesy Jeho ka nankany Jezirela, fa tany no nitoeran’ i Jorama. Ary Ahazia, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, efa nidina hamangy an’ i Jorama.
Jehu got on his chariot and went to Jezreel, for Joram was recuperating there. Ahaziah, king of Judah, was there too because he had come to visit Joram.
17 Ary ny mpitily mitsangana teo an-tampon’ ny tilikambo teo Jezirela ka nahatazana fa indrery olona betsaka tamy niaraka amin’ i Jeho, ary hoy izy: Mahita olona betsaka aho. Ary hoy Jorama: Makà mpitaingin-tsoavaly, ka maniraha hitsena azy, ary asaovy manao hoe: Fihavanana va?
The watchman on the tower in Jezreel saw Jehu's soldiers approaching, and he shouted out, “I see a soldiers coming!” “Choose a horseman,” Joram ordered. “Send him out to meet them and ask, ‘Do you come in peace?’”
18 Dia nandeha ny mpitaingin-tsoavaly anankiray hitsena azy ka nanao taminy hoe: Izao no tenin’ ny mpanjaka: Fihavanana va? Ary hoy Jeho: Ahoanao izay fihavanana? fa mankanesa ato aoriako ianao. Ary ny mpitily nilaza hoe: Ny iraka dia tonga teny aminy, nefa tsy niverina.
So a horseman rode off to meet Jehu, and said, “This is what the king asks: ‘Do you come in peace?’” “What has peace got to do with you?” Jehu replied. “Turn around and follow me.” The watchman reported, “The messenger has reached them, but he's not returning.”
19 Dia naniraka mpitaingin-tsoavaly fanindroany Jorama, ary nony tonga teny koa izy, dia nanao hoe: Izao no tenin’ ny mpanjaka: Fihavanana va? Ary Jeho namaly hoe: Ahoanao izay fihavanana? fa mankanesa ato aoriako ianao.
The king sent out a second horseman. He went up to them and said, “This is what the king asks: ‘Do you come in peace?’” “What has peace got to do with you?” Jehu replied. “Turn around and follow me.”
20 Ary ny mpitily nilaza indray hoe: Tonga teny aminy koa iny, fa tsy niverina; ary ny fampiriotrany dia hoatra ny fampiriotran’ i Jeho, zanak’ i Nimsy; fa mampiriotra hoatra ny olona adala izy.
The watchman reported, “The messenger has reached them, but he's not returning. The driving looks like the driving of Jehu, son of Nimshi—he's a crazy driver!”
21 Ary hoy Jorama: Ampiomany. Dia nampiomaniny ny kalesiny. Dia nivoaka Jorama, mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely, sy Ahazia, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, samy nitsangana teo amin’ ny kalesiny avy ka nandeha hitsena an’ i Jeho, ary nifanena taminy teo amin’ ny tanin’ i Nabota Jezirelita izy.
“Prepare my chariot!” Joram shouted, and they had his chariot ready. Then Joram, king of Israel, and Ahaziah, king of Judah, set off in their separate chariots, and met Jehu on the plot of ground that was previously owned by Naboth from Jezreel.
22 Ary Jorama, nony nahita an’ i Jeho, dia nanao hoe: Fihavanana va, ry Jeho? Fa izy namaly hoe: Aiza no hisy fihavanana, raha mbola ao ihany ny fijangajangan’ i Jezebela reninao sy ny fankatovana betsaka ataony?
When Joram saw Jehu, he asked him, “Do you come in peace, Jehu?” “What peace can there be with so much prostitution and witchcraft caused by your mother Jezebel?” Jehu replied.
23 Ary Jorama nampihodina ka nandositra sady niteny tamin’ i Ahazia hoe: Misy fitaka, ry Ahazia.
Joram turned around and raced away, shouting out to Ahaziah, “It's treason, Ahaziah!”
24 Ary nohenjanin’ i Jeho mafy ny tsipìka teny an-tànany, dia nitifitra an’ i Jorama izy ka nahavoa azy teo anelanelan’ ny sorony, ary ny zana-tsipìka niboroaka tamin’ ny fony, ka dia nampianjera azy tao anatin’ ny kalesiny.
Jehu picked up his bow and shot Joram between the shoulders. The arrow went through his heart and he collapsed dead in his chariot.
25 Ary hoy Jeho tamin’ i Bidkara lefiny: Betao izy, ka atsipazo ao amin’ ny sahan’ i Nabota Jezirelita; fa tsarovy fa fony izaho sy ianao samy nitaingina kalesy nanaraka an’ i Ahaba rainy, dia nolazain’ i Jehovah fa hihatra aminy izao loza voalaza izao hoe:
Jehu said to Bidkar his officer, “Pick him up and throw him into the field of Naboth from Jezreel. Remember when you and I were riding together behind his father Ahab how the Lord made this prophecy against him:
26 Efa hitako tokoa omaly ny ran’ i Nabota sy ny ran’ ny zanany, hoy Jehovah, ary Izaho hamaly anao eto amin’ ity tany ity, hoy Jehovah. Koa betao izy, ka atsipazo amin’ io tany io araka ny tenin’ i Jehovah.
‘In the same way as I saw the blood of Naboth and the blood of his sons yesterday, says the Lord, so I will certainly repay you on this same plot of ground, says the Lord.’ Now then, following what the Lord has said, pick him up and throw him on the plot of ground.”
27 Ary nony hitan’ i Ahazia, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, izany, dia nandositra tamin’ ny lalana mankamin’ ny trano ao anatin’ ny saha izy. Ary Jeho nanaraka azy ka nanao hoe: Indry, asio koa iny; dia nasiany teo anatin’ ny kalesiny teo amin’ ny fiakarana ho any Gora, izay eo anilan’ i Jibleama, izy. Ary nandositra nankany Megido Ahazia ka maty teo.
When Ahaziah, king of Judah, saw what happened, he raced up the road toward Beth-haggan. But Jehu chased after him, shouting, “Shoot him too!” So they shot Ahaziah in his chariot on the way up to Gur, near Ibleam. He managed to escape to Megiddo but he died there.
28 Ary ny mpanompony nitondra azy tamin’ ny kalesiny ho any Jerosalema ka nandevina azy tao am-pasany ao amin’ ny razany tao an-tanànan’ i Davida.
His servants took him by chariot to Jerusalem and buried him with his forefathers in his tomb in the City of David.
29 Ary tamin’ ny taona fahiraika ambin’ ny folo nanjakan’ i Jorama, zanak’ i Ahaba, no vao nanjakan’ i Ahazia tamin’ ny tany Joda.
Ahaziah became king of Judah in the eleventh year of the reign of Joram, son of Ahab.
30 Dia tonga tany Jezirela Jeho; ary nony nandre izany Jezebela, dia nohosorany loko mainty ny masony, sady noravahany ny lohany, dia nitsidika teo am-baravarankely izy.
When Jezebel heard that Jehu had arrived in Jezreel, she put on her black eye-shadow, placed jewelry in her hair, and watched from a window.
31 Ary nony niditra teo am-bavahady Jeho, dia hoy Jezebela: Fihavanana va, ry Zimry, mpamono tompo?
As Jehu came in through the gate, she shouted down, “Do you come in peace? Or are you like Zimri, a murderer of your master?”
32 Ary niandrandra ny varavaran-kely Jeho ka nanao hoe: Iza aminareo ireo no momba ahy? Iza? Ary nisy tandapa roa na telo teo nitsirika azy.
Jehu looked up at the window and shouted out, “Who is on my side? Anyone?” Two or three eunuchs looked down at him.
33 Ary hoy Izy: Azerao io vehivavy io. Dia nazerany izy; ka nisy nipitipitika tamin’ ny rindrin-trano sy ny soavaly ny ràny; ka dia nohitsahin’ i Jeho izy.
“Throw her down!” he shouted. And they threw her down. Her blood spattered on the wall and on the horses which then trampled her.
34 Dia niditra tao an-trano Jeho ka nihinana sy nisotro, ary dia nilaza hoe: Mandehana, Izahao ilay vehivavy voaozona, ka aleveno, fa zanakavavin’ ny mpanjaka izy.
Jehu went inside and ate and drank. Then he said, “Please deal with that cursed woman and bury her, for she was a king's daughter.”
35 Koa dia lasa ireo handevina azy; nefa tsy nisy tratrany teo afa-tsy ny karan-dohany sy ny tongony ary ny felatanany ihany.
They went out to bury her but all they found were her skull, her feet, and her hands.
36 Ary niverina ireo ka nanambara taminy. Ary hoy Jeho: Araka ny tenin’ i Jehovah izany, dia ilay nampilazainy an’ i Elia Tisbita mpanompony hoe: Ao amin’ ny tany Jezirela no hihinanan’ ny alika ny nofon’ i Jezebela,
They went back and told Jehu, who said, “This is what the Lord said through his servant Elijah the Tishbite: ‘Dogs will eat Jezebel's flesh on the plot of ground at Jezreel.
37 Ary ny fatiny ho toy ny zezika any an-tsaha, ny amin’ ny tany Jezirela, ka tsy hisy hahazo milaza hoe Jezebela ity.
Jezebel's body will lie like manure in the field on the plot of ground at Jezreel, so that no one can say: This is where Jezebel is buried.’”
