2 Mpanjaka 9
1 Tinoka’ i Elisà mpitokiy ty raik’ amo anam-pitokio, le hoe re ama’e: Diaño o toha’oo, le tintino an-taña’o ty paki-menake toy, vaho akia mb’e Ramote-gilade añe.
Now Elisha the prophet summoned one of the sons of the prophets and said to him, “Tuck your cloak under your belt, take this flask of oil, and go to Ramoth-gilead.
2 Ihe mivotrak’ eo, paiao t’Ieho ana’ Iehosafate, ana’ i Nimsý, le mimoaha ao vaho ampiongaho añivo’ o rahalahi’eo, le ampiziliho an-traño, añ’efe’e ao.
When you arrive, look for Jehu son of Jehoshaphat, the son of Nimshi. Go in, get him away from his companions, and take him to an inner room.
3 Rambeso amy zao i paki-menakey, le adoaño añambone’e eo vaho ano ty hoe: Hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà; fa norizako ho mpanjaka’ Israele irehe. Le sokafo i lalañey naho mivoratsaha vaho ko mihenekeneke.
Then take the flask of oil, pour it on his head, and declare, ‘This is what the LORD says: I anoint you king over Israel.’ Then open the door and run. Do not delay!”
4 Aa le nihitrike mb’e Ramote-Gilade añe i ajalahy anam-pitokiy.
So the young prophet went to Ramoth-gilead,
5 Ie pok’eo, hehe te niambesatse eo o mpifehe’ i valobohòkeio; le hoe re; Nafantok’ ama’o iraho, ry mpifehe. Le hoe t’Ieho. Ama’ ia, amy zahay iaby toa? le hoe re: Ama’o, ry mpifehe.
and when he arrived, the army commanders were sitting there. “I have a message for you, commander,” he said. “For which of us?” asked Jehu. “For you, commander,” he replied.
6 Aa le niongake re nimoak’ añ’ anjomba ao, le nadoa’e amy añ’ambone’ey i menakey, le nanoa’e ty hoe: Hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà, Andrianañahare’ Israele; fa norizako ho mpanjaka’ ondati’ Iehovào irehe, hifeleke Israele.
So Jehu got up and went into the house, where the young prophet poured the oil on his head and declared, “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘I anoint you king over the LORD’s people Israel.
7 Le ho zevoñe’o ty anjomba’ i Akabe talè’o, hañavahako ty lio’ o mpitoroko mpitokio naho ze hene lio’ o mpitoro’ Iehovà am-pità’ Iizebeleo.
And you are to strike down the house of your master Ahab, so that I may avenge the blood of My servants the prophets and the blood of all the servants of the LORD shed by the hand of Jezebel.
8 Fonga havetrake ty anjomba’ i Akabe naho songa haitoako amy Akabe ze mamany an-kijoly ke t’ie mirohy he midada e Israele ao.
The whole house of Ahab will perish, and I will cut off from Ahab every male, both slave and free, in Israel.
9 Le hampanahafeko amy anjomba’ Iarovame ana’ i Nebate naho ty anjomba’ i Baasa ana’ i Akiiày ty anjomba’ i Akabe.
I will make the house of Ahab like the houses of Jeroboam son of Nebat and Baasha son of Ahijah.
10 O amboao ty hihinañe Iizebele an-tete’ Iezreele ey le tsy eo ty handeveñe aze. Sinoka’e amy zao i lalañey le nibotatsake mb’eo.
And on the plot of ground at Jezreel the dogs will devour Jezebel, and there will be no one to bury her.’” Then the young prophet opened the door and ran.
11 Niavotse mb’amo mpitoro’ i talè’eio mb’eo t’Ieho; le hoe ty raik’ ama’e; Hene soa hao? Ino ty nomba’ i seretsey ama’o? le hoe re am’ iereo: Fohi’ areo indatiy naho i enta’ey.
When Jehu went out to the servants of his master, they asked, “Is everything all right? Why did this madman come to you?” “You know his kind and their babble,” he replied.
12 Le hoe iereo: Vande izay; ehe atalilio ama’ay. Le hoe re: Hoe zao naho zao ty nisaontsie’e ami’ty hoe; Hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà; fa norizako ho mpanjaka’ Israele irehe.
“That is a lie!” they said. “Tell us now!” So Jehu answered, “He talked to me about this and that, and he said, ‘This is what the LORD says: I anoint you king over Israel.’”
13 Nalisa amy zao, songa nangalake i sarimbo’ey, le nalafi’e ambane’e eo amy fanongà amboney, vaho pinopò’ iereo i antsivay le nanao ty hoe; Mpanjaka t’Ieho!
Quickly, each man took his garment and put it under Jehu on the bare steps. Then they blew the ram’s horn and proclaimed, “Jehu is king!”
14 Aa le kinilili’ Ieho ana’ Iehosafate, ana’ i Nimsý t’Iorame—ie amy zao fa nañambeñe i Ramote-gilade t’Iorame, naho Israele iaby, ty amy Kazaele mpanjaka’ i Arame
Thus Jehu son of Jehoshaphat, the son of Nimshi, conspired against Joram. (Now Joram and all Israel had been defending Ramoth-gilead against Hazael king of Aram,
15 fe nimpoly mb’e Iezreele ao t’Iorame hijangaña’e amo fere natolo’ o nte-Arameo aze t’ie nialy amy Kazaele mpanjaka’ i Arameio. —Le hoe t’Ieho, Naho zao ty safiri’ areo, le ko apo’ areo ndra raike tsy hipoliotse boak’ an-drova hañitrike talily e Iezreele añe.
but King Joram had returned to Jezreel to recover from the wounds he had suffered at the hands of the Arameans in the battle against Hazael their king.) So Jehu said, “If you commanders wish to make me king, then do not let anyone escape from the city to go and tell it in Jezreel.”
16 Aa le nijoñ’an-tsarete t’Ieho, nimb’ e Iezreele mb’eo; amy te natindry ao t’Iorame; naho nizotso mb’eo ka t’i Ahkazià mpanjaka’ Iehodà hitilike Iorame.
Then Jehu got into his chariot and went to Jezreel, because Joram was laid up there and Ahaziah king of Judah had gone down to see him.
17 Nahatalake i firimboña’ Iehoy ie nigodañe mb’eo ty mpijilo am-pitalakesañ’ abo’ Iezreele ey, le hoe re: Mahatrea mpirai-lia iraho. Le hoe t’Iorame, Angalao mpiningi-tsoavala vaho ampihitrifo hifanalaka am’ iereo, hanao ty hoe: An-kanintsiñe hao?
Now the watchman standing on the tower in Jezreel saw Jehu’s troops approaching, and he called out, “I see a company of troops!” “Choose a rider,” Joram commanded. “Send him out to meet them and ask, ‘Have you come in peace?’”
18 Aa le ninigitse an-tsoavala ty hifanalaka am’ iereo vaho nanao ty hoe: Hoe i mpanjakay: an-kanintsim-bao? Le hoe t’Ieho: Hanoe’o ino ze o fañanintsiñe zao? Miotaha mb’ ambohoko ao. Le hoe i mpijiloy; Niheo am’ iereo mb’eo i ìrakey fe tsy mimpoly.
So a horseman rode off to meet Jehu and said, “This is what the king asks: ‘Have you come in peace?’” “What do you know about peace?” Jehu replied. “Fall in behind me.” And the watchman reported, “The messenger reached them, but he is not coming back.”
19 Niraheñe an-tsoavala ka ty faharoe, ie pok’ ama’e eo le nanao ty hoe: Hoe i mpanjakay: Am-pañanintsiñe hao? le hoe ty natoi’ Ieho: Hanoe’o ino ze o fañanintsiñe zao? Miotaha mb’ ambohoko ao.
So the king sent out a second horseman, who went to them and said, “This is what the king asks: ‘Have you come in peace?’” “What do you know about peace?” Jehu replied. “Fall in behind me.”
20 Le hoe i mpijiloy: Nifanalaka’e, fe tsy mimpoly; toe manahake ty findesa’ Ieho ana’ i Nimsý i findesa’ey; ie mpitrantràñe.
Again the watchman reported, “He reached them, but he is not coming back. And the charioteer is driving like Jehu son of Nimshi —he is driving like a madman!”
21 Le hoe t’Iorame, Halankaño! Le hinalanka’ iereo ty sarete’e: Aa le niavotse mb’eo t’Iorame mpanjaka’ Israele naho i Ahkazià mpanjaka’ Iehodà, songa an-tsarete’e, nionjomb’eo hifanalaka am’ Ieho, vaho nisalakaeñe an-tete’ i Nabote nte-Iezreele ey.
“Harness!” Joram shouted, and they harnessed his chariot. Then Joram king of Israel and Ahaziah king of Judah set out, each in his own chariot, and met Jehu on the property of Naboth the Jezreelite.
22 Ie amy zao, naho niisa’ Iehorame t’Ieho, le nanao ty hoe: an-kanintsiñe hao, ry Ieho? Le hoe ty natoi’e: Fañanintsiñ’ aia? kanao tsifotofoto o hakarapiloa’ Iizebele rene’oo naho o famoreha’eo?
When Joram saw Jehu, he asked, “Have you come in peace, Jehu?” “How can there be peace,” he replied, “as long as the idolatry and witchcraft of your mother Jezebel abound?”
23 Nabali’ Iorame i sarete’ey le nitriban-day le nanoe’ ty hoe amy Ahkazià, Fitak’ ate ry Ahkazià.
Joram turned around and fled, calling out to Ahaziah, “Treachery, Ahaziah!”
24 Fe nabitso’ Ieho an-kaozara’e iaby i fale’ey, naho trinofa’e an-tsakamamovo’e eo t’Iorame naho nipotitse ami’ty fo’e ao i ana-paley, vaho nitsingoritrìtse an-tsarete’e ao.
Then Jehu drew his bow and shot Joram between the shoulders. The arrow pierced his heart, and he slumped down in his chariot.
25 Le hoe t’Ieho amy Bidkare, mpifehe’ey. Endeso, naho avokovokò an-tete’ i Nabote nte-Iezreele ao. Tiahio t’ie nihoridañen-tika t’i Akabe rae’e le hoe ty nitsarae’ Iehovà ty ama’e:
And Jehu said to Bidkar his officer, “Pick him up and throw him into the field of Naboth the Jezreelite. For remember that when you and I were riding together behind his father Ahab, the LORD lifted up this burden against him:
26 Toe nitreako omale ty lio’ i Nabote naho ty lio’ o ana’eo, hoe t’Iehovà, le havahako an-tetek’ atoy irehe, hoe t’Iehovà. Aa le endeso re avokovokò amy tetekey ty amy tsara’ Iehovà zay.
‘As surely as I saw the blood of Naboth and the blood of his sons yesterday, declares the LORD, so will I repay you on this plot of ground, declares the LORD.’ Now then, according to the word of the LORD, pick him up and throw him on the plot of ground.”
27 Ie niisa’ i Ahkazià mpanjaka’ Iehodà le nitsondemboke ty lay mb’ an-dala’ i trañon-goloboñey mb’eo, le nañorik’ aze t’Ieho, nanao ty hoe: Tomboho an-tsarete’e ao, ie ka, le nivoa amy fionjonam-be Gore mb’eo marine’ Ibleame ey naho niherereake mb’e Megidò mb’eo vaho nihomak’ao.
When King Ahaziah of Judah saw this, he fled up the road toward Beth-haggan. And Jehu pursued him, shouting, “Shoot him too!” So they shot Ahaziah in his chariot on the Ascent of Gur, near Ibleam, and he fled to Megiddo and died there.
28 Nitakone’ o mpitoro’eo mb’e Ierosalaime mb’eo vaho nalenteke an-kiborin-droae’e an-drova’ i Davide ao.
Then his servants carried him by chariot to Jerusalem and buried him with his fathers in his tomb in the City of David.
29 An-taom-paha-folo-raik’ ambi’ Iorame ana’ i Akabe ty niorota’ i Ahkazià nifehe Iehodà.
(In the eleventh year of Joram son of Ahab, Ahaziah had become king over Judah.)
30 Ie nivotrake e Iezreele ao t’Ieho, le tsinano’ Iizebele; le binatra’e o maso’eo naho sinatro’e i loha’ey, vaho nitilihitse an-dalan-kede.
Now when Jehu arrived in Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it. So she painted her eyes, adorned her head, and looked down from a window.
31 Aa ie nimoak’ an-dalam-bey eo t’Ieho, le hoe i rakembay: Nampanintsiñañe hao t’i Zimrý t’ie namono i talè’ey?
And as Jehu entered the gate, she asked, “Have you come in peace, O Zimri, murderer of your master?”
32 Niandra laharañe mb’ amy lalan-kedey re nanao ty hoe: Ia ty mpiamako? Ia? Nitangarike ama’e ty mpiatrake telo ndra roe.
He looked up at the window and called out, “Who is on my side? Who?” And two or three eunuchs looked down at him.
33 Le hoe re: Avokovokò. Aa le nafetsa’ iareo ambane naho nifitse amy rindriñey naho amo soavalao ty lio’e vaho nilialian-tomboke.
“Throw her down!” yelled Jehu. So they threw her down, and her blood splattered on the wall and on the horses as they trampled her underfoot.
34 Ie nizilik’ ao naho nikama naho ninoñe; le hoe re, Ehe henteo i rakembam-pàtsey, le aleveño; amy t’ie anam-panjaka.
Then Jehu went in and ate and drank. “Take care of this cursed woman,” he said, “and bury her, for she was the daughter of a king.”
35 Aa ie nimb’ eo handeveñe aze, tsy nanjo naho tsy i haran-doha’ey naho o tombo’eo naho o lela-pità’eo,
But when they went out to bury her, they found nothing but her skull, her feet, and the palms of her hands.
36 le nimpoly iereo nitalily ama’e; le hoe re: Izay ty nitsara’ Iehovà nampisaontsie’e i mpitoro’e Elià nte-Tisbý, ty hoe: An-toe’ Iezreele eo ty hihinana’ o amboao ty nofo’ Iizebele;
So they went back and told Jehu, who replied, “This is the word of the LORD, which He spoke through His servant Elijah the Tishbite: ‘On the plot of ground at Jezreel the dogs will devour the flesh of Jezebel.
37 vaho ho tay ambone’ ty toe’ Iezreeele eo ty lolo’e; tsy mone hatao’ ty hoe: Etoa t’Iizebele.
And Jezebel’s body will lie like dung in the field on the plot of ground at Jezreel, so that no one can say: This is Jezebel.’”
