2 Kings 9
1 Wòlíì Eliṣa fi àṣẹ pe ọkùnrin kan láti ẹgbẹ́ àwọn wòlíì, ó sì wí fún un pé, “Ki agbádá rẹ sínú ọ̀já àmùrè rẹ, gba ṣágo kékeré òróró yìí pẹ̀lú rẹ, kí o sì lọ sí Ramoti Gileadi.
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 Nígbà tí o bá dé bẹ̀, wá Jehu ọmọ Jehoṣafati, ọmọ Nimṣi kiri. Lọ sí ọ̀dọ̀ ọ rẹ̀, mú un kúrò lọ́dọ̀ àwọn ẹlẹgbẹ́ ẹ rẹ̀, kí o sì mú un wọ inú yàrá lọ́hùn ún lọ.
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 Nígbà náà, mú ṣágo kékeré yìí, kí o sì da òróró náà lé e lórí, kí o sì wí pé, ‘Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa wí, “Èmi fi àmì òróró yàn ọ́ ní ọba lórí Israẹli.”’ Nígbà náà, ṣí ìlẹ̀kùn, kí o sì sáré, má ṣe jáfara!”
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 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ọ̀dọ́mọkùnrin náà, wòlíì náà lọ sí Ramoti Gileadi.
So the young prophet went to Ramoth-gilead,
5 Nígbà tí ó dé, ó rí àwọn olórí ẹgbẹ́ ọmọ-ogun tí wọ́n jókòó papọ̀. “Èmi ní iṣẹ́ fún ọ, olórí,” Ó wí. “Sí ta ni nínú wa?” Jehu béèrè. Òun sì wí pé, “Sí ọ, balógun,” Ó dáhùn.
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 Jehu dìde sókè, ó sì wọ inú ilé lọ. Nígbà náà, wòlíì náà da òróró náà sórí Jehu; ó sì wí pé, “Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run Israẹli wí: ‘Èmi fi àmì òróró yàn ọ́ ní ọba lórí àwọn ènìyàn Olúwa Israẹli.
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 Kí ìwọ kí ó pa ilé Ahabu ọ̀gá à rẹ̀ run, Èmi yóò sì gbẹ̀san ẹ̀jẹ̀ gbogbo àwọn ìránṣẹ́ mi wòlíì àti gbogbo ẹ̀jẹ̀ àwọn ìránṣẹ́ Olúwa tí a ta sílẹ̀ látọwọ́ ọ Jesebeli.
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 Gbogbo ilé Ahabu yóò ṣègbé. Èmi yóò gé e kúrò láti orí Ahabu gbogbo ọ̀dọ́mọkùnrin tí ó gbẹ̀yìn ni Israẹli, ẹrú tàbí òmìnira.
The whole house of Ahab will perish, and I will cut off from Ahab every male, both slave and free, in Israel.
9 Èmi yóò ṣe ilé Ahabu gẹ́gẹ́ bí ilé Jeroboamu ọmọ Nebati àti ilé Baaṣa ọmọ Ahijah.
I will make the house of Ahab like the houses of Jeroboam son of Nebat and Baasha son of Ahijah.
10 Fún Jesebeli, ajá ni yóò jẹ ẹ́ ní oko Jesreeli, kò sì sí ẹni tí yóò sin òkú rẹ̀.’” Nígbà náà ó ṣí ìlẹ̀kùn, ó sì sálọ.
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 Nígbà tí Jehu jáde lọ bá àwọn ọgbà ìjòyè e rẹ̀, ọ̀kan nínú wọn sì bi í pé, “Ṣé gbogbo nǹkan dára?” Kí ni ó dé tí aṣiwèrè fi tọ̀ ọ́ wá, “Ìwọ mọ ọkùnrin náà àti irú nǹkan tí ó ń sọ,” Jehu fèsì.
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 “Ìyẹn kì í ṣe òótọ́!” Wọ́n wí. “Sọ fún wa.” Jehu wí, “Èyí ni ohun tí ó sọ fún mi: ‘Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa wí, “Èmi fi àmì òróró yàn ọ́ ní ọba lórí Israẹli.”’”
“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 Wọ́n ṣe gírí, wọ́n sì mú agbádá a wọn, wọ́n sì tàn wọ́n sí abẹ́ rẹ̀ ní orí àtẹ̀gùn. Nígbà náà, wọ́n fọn ìpè, wọ́n sì kígbe, “Jehu jẹ ọba!”
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 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Jehu ọmọ Jehoṣafati, ọmọ Nimṣi, dìtẹ̀ sí Joramu. (Nísinsin yìí Joramu àti gbogbo Israẹli ti ń dáàbò bo Ramoti Gileadi nítorí Hasaeli ọba Aramu.
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 ṣùgbọ́n ọba Joramu ti padà sí Jesreeli láti lọ sàn nínú ọgbẹ́ tí àwọn ará Aramu ti dá sí i lára nínú ogun pẹ̀lú ọba Hasaeli ti Aramu.) Jehu wí pé, “Tí èyí bá jẹ́ ọ̀nà tí ò ń rò, má ṣe jẹ́ kí ẹnìkankan kí ó yọ jáde nínú ìlú ńlá láti lọ sọ ìròyìn náà ní Jesreeli.”
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 Nígbà náà Jehu wọ inú kẹ̀kẹ́ rẹ̀, ó sì gùn ún lọ sí Jesreeli, nítorí Joramu ń sinmi níbẹ̀ àti Ahasiah ọba Juda sì sọ̀kalẹ̀ láti wá wò Joramu.
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 Nígbà tí olùṣọ́ kan tí ó dúró ní ilé ìṣọ́ ní Jesreeli, rí ọ̀wọ́ ogun Jehu tí wọ́n ń súnmọ́ tòsí, ó pè jáde, “Mo rí àwọn ọ̀wọ́ ogun tí ó ń bọ̀.” “Mú ọkùnrin ẹlẹ́ṣin kan,” Joramu pa á láṣẹ. “Rán an lọ sí ọ̀dọ̀ wọn kí o sì béèrè pé, ‘Ṣé ẹ̀yin wá pẹ̀lú àlàáfíà?’”
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 Ọkùnrin ẹlẹ́ṣin náà, lọ láti lọ bá Jehu ó sì wí pé, “Èyí ni ohun tí ọba wí: ‘Ṣé ìwọ wá pẹ̀lú àlàáfíà?’” “Kí ni ìwọ ní ṣe pẹ̀lú àlàáfíà?” Jehu sì dáhùn. “Bọ́ sí ẹ̀yìn mi.” Olùṣọ́ náà sì wí fún un pé, “Ìránṣẹ́ náà ti dé ọ̀dọ̀ wọn, ṣùgbọ́n kò tún padà wá mọ́.”
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 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni, ọba rán ọkùnrin ẹlẹ́ṣin kejì. Nígbà náà ó wá sí ọ̀dọ̀ wọn, ó wí pé, “Èyí ni ohun tí ọba sọ: “Ṣé ìwọ wá pẹ̀lú àlàáfíà?” Jehu dáhùn, “Dúró sí ẹ̀yìn mi.”
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 Olùṣọ́ náà sì fi sùn. “Ó ti dé ọ̀dọ̀ wọn, ṣùgbọ́n kò tún padà wá mọ́ pẹ̀lú. Wíwá rẹ̀ sì dàbí ti Jehu ọmọ Nimṣi, ó ń wa kẹ̀kẹ́ bí ti aṣiwèrè.”
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 “Fi ìwọ̀ kọ́ kẹ̀kẹ́ ogun mi.” Joramu pa á láṣẹ. Àti nígbà tí a fi kọ́, Joramu ọba Israẹli àti Ahasiah ọba Juda, gun kẹ̀kẹ́ lọ, olúkúlùkù nínú kẹ̀kẹ́ ogun tirẹ̀, láti lọ bá Jehu. Wọ́n bá a pàdé ní ibi oko tí ó ti jẹ́ ti Naboti ará Jesreeli.
“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 Nígbà tí Joramu rí Jehu, ó béèrè pé, “Ṣé ìwọ wá pẹ̀lú àlàáfíà, Jehu?” “Báwo ni àlàáfíà yóò ṣe wà,” Jehu dáhùn, “Ní ìwọ̀n ìgbà tí gbogbo ìbọ̀rìṣà àti iṣẹ́ àjẹ́ ti màmá rẹ Jesebeli di púpọ̀?”
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 Joramu yí ọwọ́ rẹ̀ padà, ó sì sálọ, ó sì ń pe Ahasiah, “Ọ̀tẹ̀ dé, Ahasiah!”
Joram turned around and fled, calling out to Ahaziah, “Treachery, Ahaziah!”
24 Nígbà náà, Jehu fa ọrun rẹ̀, ó sì yin Joramu láàrín èjìká méjèèjì. Ọfà náà sì wọ inú ọkàn rẹ̀, ó sì ṣubú lulẹ̀ láti orí kẹ̀kẹ́ rẹ̀.
Then Jehu drew his bow and shot Joram between the shoulders. The arrow pierced his heart, and he slumped down in his chariot.
25 Jehu sọ fún Bidikari, balógun kẹ̀kẹ́ ẹ rẹ̀ pé, “Gbé e sókè kí ó sì jù ú sí orí oko tí ó jẹ́ ti Naboti ará Jesreeli. Rántí bí èmi àti ìwọ ti ń gun kẹ̀kẹ́ papọ̀ lẹ́yìn Ahabu baba à rẹ nígbà tí Olúwa sọ àsọtẹ́lẹ̀ nípa rẹ̀,
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 ‘Ní àná, mo rí ẹ̀jẹ̀ Naboti pẹ̀lú ẹ̀jẹ̀ ọmọ rẹ̀ ọkùnrin, ni Olúwa wí.’ Ǹjẹ́ nítorí náà, ẹ gbé e sókè, kí o sì jù ú sí orí ilẹ̀ oko náà ní ìbámu pẹ̀lú ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa.”
‘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 Nígbà tí Ahasiah ọba, Juda rí ohun tí ó ti ṣẹlẹ̀, ó sálọ sójú ọ̀nà sí Beti-Haggani. Jehu sì lépa rẹ̀, ó ń kígbe, “Pa á pẹ̀lú!” Wọ́n ṣá a ní ọgbẹ́ nínú kẹ̀kẹ́ ẹ rẹ̀ ní ọ̀nà lọ sí Guri lẹ́bàá a Ibleamu, ṣùgbọ́n ó sálọ sí Megido, ó sì kú síbẹ̀.
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 Ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ sì gbé e pẹ̀lú kẹ̀kẹ́ lọ sí Jerusalẹmu, ó sì sin ín pẹ̀lú, baba a rẹ̀ nínú ibojì rẹ̀ ní ìlú ńlá ti Dafidi.
Then his servants carried him by chariot to Jerusalem and buried him with his fathers in his tomb in the City of David.
29 (Ní ọdún kọkànlá ti Joramu ọmọ Ahabu, Ahasiah ti di ọba Juda.)
(In the eleventh year of Joram son of Ahab, Ahaziah had become king over Judah.)
30 Nígbà náà Jehu lọ sí Jesreeli. Nígbà tí Jesebeli gbọ́ nípa rẹ̀, ó kun ojú u rẹ̀, ó to irun rẹ̀, ó sì wò jáde láti ojú fèrèsé.
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 Bí Jehu ti wọ ẹnu ìlẹ̀kùn, ó béèrè, “Ṣé ìwọ wá ní àlàáfíà, Simri, ìwọ olùpa ọ̀gá à rẹ?”
And as Jehu entered the gate, she asked, “Have you come in peace, O Zimri, murderer of your master?”
32 Ó gbójú sókè láti wo fèrèsé, ó sì pè jáde, “Ta ni ó wà ní ẹ̀gbẹ́ mi? Ta ni?” Ìwẹ̀fà méjì tàbí mẹ́ta bojú wò ó nílẹ̀.
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 Jehu sọ wí pé, “Gbé e jù sílẹ̀!” Wọ́n sì jù ú sílẹ̀. Díẹ̀ nínú ẹ̀jẹ̀ rẹ̀ sì fọ́n sí ara ògiri àti àwọn ẹṣin bí wọ́n ti tẹ̀ ẹ́ mọ́lẹ̀ lábẹ́ ẹsẹ̀ wọn.
“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 Jehu wọ inú ilé lọ, ó jẹ, ó sì mu. “Tọ́jú obìnrin yẹn tí a fi bú,” Ó wí, “Kí o sì sin ín, nítorí ọmọbìnrin ọba ni ó jẹ́.”
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 Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí wọ́n jáde lọ láti lọ sin ín, wọn kò rí nǹkan kan àyàfi agbárí i rẹ̀, ẹsẹ̀ rẹ̀ méjèèjì àti ọwọ́ rẹ̀ méjèèjì.
But when they went out to bury her, they found nothing but her skull, her feet, and the palms of her hands.
36 Wọ́n padà lọ sọ fún Jehu, ẹni tí ó wí pé, “Èyí ni ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tí ó sọ nípasẹ̀ ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ Elijah ará Tiṣibi wí pé, ‘Ní orí oko Jesreeli ni àwọn ajá yóò ti jẹ ẹran-ara Jesebeli.
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 Òkú Jesebeli yóò dàbí ohun ẹ̀gbin ní orí oko Jesreeli, dé bi pé, ẹnikẹ́ni kì yóò lè sọ pé, “Jesebeli ni èyí.”’”
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.’”
