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.
And Elisha the prophet sent for one of the sons of the prophets, and said to him, Make yourself ready for a journey, and take this bottle of oil in your hand, 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.
And when you get there, go in search of Jehu, the son of Jehoshaphat, the son of Nimshi; and go in and make him get up from among his brothers, 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 bottle and put the oil on his head, and say, The Lord says, I have put the holy oil on you to make you king over Israel. Then, opening the door, go in flight, without waiting.
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 came, he saw the captains of the army seated together; and he said, I have something to say to you, O captain. And Jehu said, To which of us? And he said, To you, O captain.
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.
And he got up and went into the house; then he put the holy oil on his head and said to him, The Lord, the God of Israel, says, I have made you king over the people of the Lord, over 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.
You are to see that the family of Ahab your master is cut off, so that I may take from Jezebel payment for the blood of my servants the prophets, and for the blood of all the servants of the Lord.
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.
For the family of Ahab will come to an end; every male of Ahab's family will be cut off, he who is shut up and he who goes 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 family of Ahab like that of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, and Baasha, the 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 Jezebel will become food for the dogs in the heritage of Jezreel, and there will be no one to put her body into the earth. Then, opening the door, he went in flight.
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.
Then Jehu came out again to the servants of his lord, and one said to him, Is all well? why did this man, who is off his head, come to you? And he said to them, You have knowledge of the man and of his talk.
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.
And they said, That is not true; now give us his story. Then he said, This is what he said to me: The Lord says, I have made 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!
Then straight away everyone took his robe and put it under him on the top of the steps, and, sounding the horn, they said, 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
So Jehu, the son of Jehoshaphat, the son of Nimshi, made designs against Joram. (Now Joram and all the army of Israel were keeping watch on Ramoth-gilead because of 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 gone back to Jezreel to get well from the wounds which the Aramaeans had given him when he was fighting against Hazael, king of Aram.) And Jehu said, If this is your purpose, then let no one get away and go out of the town to give news of 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.
So Jehu got into his carriage and went to Jezreel, for Joram was ill in bed there; and Ahaziah, king of Judah, had come down to see Joram.
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?
And the watchman on the tower in Jezreel saw Jehu and his band coming, and said, I see a band of people. And Joram said, Send out a horseman to them, and let him say, Is it 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 went out to them and said, The king says, Is it peace? And Jehu said, What have you to do with peace? come after me. And the watchman gave them word, saying, The horseman went up to them, but has not come 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.
Then he sent out a second horseman, who came up to them and said, The king says, Is it peace? And Jehu said in answer, What have you to do with peace? come after me.
20 Le hoe i mpijiloy: Nifanalaka’e, fe tsy mimpoly; toe manahake ty findesa’ Ieho ana’ i Nimsý i findesa’ey; ie mpitrantràñe.
And the watchman gave them word, saying, He went up to them and has not come back again; and the driving is like the driving of Jehu, son of Nimshi, for he is driving violently.
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.
Then Joram said, Make ready. So they made his carriage ready; and Joram, king of Israel, with Ahaziah, king of Judah, went out in their carriages for the purpose of meeting Jehu; and they came face to face with him at the field 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?
Now when Joram saw Jehu he said, Is it peace, Jehu? And he said in answer, What peace is possible while all the land is full of the disgusting sins of your mother Jezebel, and her secret arts?
23 Nabali’ Iorame i sarete’ey le nitriban-day le nanoe’ ty hoe amy Ahkazià, Fitak’ ate ry Ahkazià.
Then Joram, turning his horses in flight, said to Ahaziah, Broken faith, O 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 took his bow in his hand, and with all his strength sent an arrow, wounding Joram between the arms; and the arrow came out at his heart, and he went down on his face in his carriage.
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:
Then Jehu said to Bidkar, his captain, Take him up, and put him in the field of Naboth the Jezreelite: for is not that day in your memory when you and I together on our horses were going after Ahab, his father, and the Lord put this fate on him, saying:
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.
I saw the blood of Naboth and of his sons yesterday; and I will give you full payment in this field, says the Lord? So now, take him and put him in this field, as the Lord said.
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.
Now when Ahaziah, king of Judah, saw this, he went in flight by the way of the garden house. And Jehu came after him and said, Put him to death in the same way; and they gave him a death-wound in his carriage, on the slope up to Gur, by Ibleam; and he went in flight to Megiddo, where death came to him.
28 Nitakone’ o mpitoro’eo mb’e Ierosalaime mb’eo vaho nalenteke an-kiborin-droae’e an-drova’ i Davide ao.
And his servants took him in a carriage to Jerusalem, and put him into the earth with his fathers in the town of David.
29 An-taom-paha-folo-raik’ ambi’ Iorame ana’ i Akabe ty niorota’ i Ahkazià nifehe Iehodà.
(In the eleventh year of the rule of Joram, the son of Ahab, Ahaziah became 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.
And when Jehu came to Jezreel, Jezebel had news of it; and, painting her eyes and dressing her hair with ornaments, she put her head out of the 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 when Jehu was coming into the town, she said, Is all well, O Zimri, taker of your master's life?
32 Niandra laharañe mb’ amy lalan-kedey re nanao ty hoe: Ia ty mpiamako? Ia? Nitangarike ama’e ty mpiatrake telo ndra roe.
Then, looking up to the window, he said, Who is on my side, who? and two or three unsexed servants put out their heads.
33 Le hoe re: Avokovokò. Aa le nafetsa’ iareo ambane naho nifitse amy rindriñey naho amo soavalao ty lio’e vaho nilialian-tomboke.
And he said, Take her and put her out of the window. So they sent her down with force, and her blood went in a shower on the wall and on the horses; and she was crushed under their feet.
34 Ie nizilik’ ao naho nikama naho ninoñe; le hoe re, Ehe henteo i rakembam-pàtsey, le aleveño; amy t’ie anam-panjaka.
And he came in, and took food and drink; then he said, Now see to this cursed woman, and put her body into the earth, for she is a king's daughter.
35 Aa ie nimb’ eo handeveñe aze, tsy nanjo naho tsy i haran-doha’ey naho o tombo’eo naho o lela-pità’eo,
And they went out to put her body into the earth, but nothing of her was to be seen, only the bones of her head, and her feet, and parts 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 came back and gave him word of it. And he said, This is what the Lord said by his servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, In the heritage of Jezreel the flesh of Jezebel will become food for dogs;
37 vaho ho tay ambone’ ty toe’ Iezreeele eo ty lolo’e; tsy mone hatao’ ty hoe: Etoa t’Iizebele.
And the dead body of Jezebel will be like waste dropped on the face of the earth in the heritage of Jezreel; so that they will not be able to say, This is Jezebel.
