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 said to him, “Dress for travel, then take this little bottle of oil in your hand 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;
When you arrive, look for Jehu son of Jehoshaphat son of Nimshi, and go in and make him arise up from among his companions, and conduct him to an inner chamber.
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.
Then take the bottle of oil and pour it on his head and say, 'Yahweh says this: “I have anointed you king over Israel.”' Then open the door, and run off; do not delay.”
4 Ary nandeha ilay zatovo, dia ilay zatovon’ ny mpaminany, nankany Ramota-gileada.
So the young man, 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, behold, the captains of the army were sitting. So the young prophet said, “I have come on an errand to you, captain.” Jehu replied, “To which of us?” The young prophet answered, “To you, captain.”
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.
So Jehu arose and went into the house, and the prophet poured the oil on his head and said to Jehu, “Yahweh, the God of Israel, says this: 'I have anointed you king over the people of Yahweh, over 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 must kill the family of Ahab your master, so that I may avenge the blood of my servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of Yahweh, who were murdered by the hand of 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;
For the whole family of Ahab will perish, and I will cut off from Ahab every male child, whether he is a slave or a free person.
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.
The dogs will eat Jezebel in Jezreel, and there will be no one to bury her.'” Then the prophet opened the door and ran off.
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.
Then Jehu came out to the servants of his master, and one said to him, “Is everything alright? Why did this mad fellow come to you?” Jehu answered them, “You know the man and the kinds of things he says.”
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.
They said, “That is a lie. Tell us.” Jehu answered, “He said this and that to me, and he also said, 'This is what Yahweh says: I have anointed you as 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.
Then each of them quickly took off his outer garment and put it under Jehu at the top of the steps. They blew the trumpet and said, “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;
In this way Jehu son of Jehoshaphat son of Nimshi conspired against Joram. Now Joram had been defending Ramoth Gilead, he and all Israel, because of 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 King Joram had gone back to Jezreel to be healed of the wounds that the Arameans had given him, when he had fought against Hazael king of Aram. Jehu said to the servants of Joram, “If this is your opinion, then let no one escape and go out of the city, in order to go tell this news 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.
So Jehu rode in a chariot to Jezreel; for Joram was resting there. Now Ahaziah king of Judah had come down to see 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 was standing on the tower in Jezreel, and he saw the company of Jehu as he came at a distance; he said, “I see a group of men coming.” Joram said, “Take a horseman, and send him out to meet them; tell him to say, 'Are you coming 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 man was sent on horseback to meet him; he said, “The king says this: 'Are coming in peace?'” So Jehu said, “What have you to do with peace? Turn and ride behind me.” Then the watchman told the king, “The messenger has met them, but he is not coming back.”
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.
Then he sent out a second man on horseback, who came to them and said, “The king says this: 'Are you coming in peace?'” Jehu answered, “What have you to do with peace? Turn and ride behind 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.
Again the watchman reported, “He has met them, but he is not coming back. For the way that the chariot is being driven is the way that Jehu son of Nimshi drives; he is driving wildly.”
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.
So Joram said, “Get my chariot ready.” They prepared his chariot, and Joram king of Israel and Ahaziah king of Judah rode out, each in his chariot, to meet Jehu. They found him at the property of Naboth the Jezreelite.
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 said, “Are you coming in peace, Jehu?” He answered, “What peace is there, when the idolatrous acts of prostitution and witchcraft of your mother Jezebel are so many?”
23 Ary Jorama nampihodina ka nandositra sady niteny tamin’ i Ahazia hoe: Misy fitaka, ry Ahazia.
So Joram turned his chariot and fled and said to Ahaziah, “There is treachery, 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.
Then Jehu drew his bow with his full strength and shot Joram between his shoulders; the arrow went through his heart, and he sank down 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:
Then Jehu said to Bidkar his captain, “Pick him up and throw him in the field of Naboth the Jezreelite. Think about how when you and I rode together after Ahab his father, Yahweh placed 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.
'Yesterday I saw the blood of Naboth and the blood of his sons—declares Yahweh—and I will surely make you pay for it on this field—declares Yahweh. Now then, pick him up and throw him on this field, according to the word of Yahweh.”
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 the king of Judah saw this, he fled up the road to Beth Haggan. But Jehu followed him, and said, “Kill him also in the chariot,” and they shot him at the ascent of Gur, which is by Ibleam. Ahaziah fled to Megiddo and 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 carried his body in a chariot to Jerusalem and buried him in his tomb with his fathers 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.
Now it was in the eleventh year of Joram son of Ahab that Ahaziah had begun to reign over Judah.
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 Jehu came to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it, and she painted her eyes, arranged her hair, and looked out the window.
31 Ary nony niditra teo am-bavahady Jeho, dia hoy Jezebela: Fihavanana va, ry Zimry, mpamono tompo?
As Jehu was entering the gate, she said to him, “Are you coming in peace, you Zimri, your master's murderer?”
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 said, “Who is on my side? Who?” Then two or three eunuchs looked out.
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.
So Jehu said, “Throw her down.” So they threw Jezebel down, and some of her blood spattered on the wall and the horses, and Jehu trampled her underfoot.
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.
When Jehu entered the palace, he ate and drank. Then he said, “See now to this cursed woman and bury her, for she is 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 to bury her, but they found no more of her than the skull, the feet, and the palms of 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,
So they came back and told Jehu. He said, “This is the word of Yahweh which he spoke by his servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, 'In the land at Jezreel the dogs will eat the flesh of Jezebel,
37 Ary ny fatiny ho toy ny zezika any an-tsaha, ny amin’ ny tany Jezirela, ka tsy hisy hahazo milaza hoe Jezebela ity.
and the body of Jezebel will be like dung on the surface of the fields in the land at Jezreel, so that no one will be able to say, “This is Jezebel.”'”
