¹And Elisha the prophet called one of the children of the prophets, and said unto him, Gird up thy loins, and take this box of oil in thine hand, and go to Ramothgilead:

¹[Ny nanosorana an'i Jeho ho mpanjaka, sy ny namonoan'i Jeho an'i Jorama sy Ahazia ary Jezebela] Ary Elisa mpaminany niantso ny anankiray tamin'ny zanakalahin'ny mpaminany ka nanao taminy hoe: Misikina, dia ento eny an-tananao ity tavoara feno diloilo ity, ka mankanesa any Ramota-gileada;

²And when thou comest thither, look out there Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi, and go in, and make him arise up from among his brethren, and carry him to an inner chamber;

²ary 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;

³Then take the box of oil, and pour it on his head, and say, Thus saith the LORD, I have anointed thee king over Israel. Then open the door, and flee, and tarry not.

³ary 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.

⁴So the young man, even the young man the prophet, went to Ramothgilead.

⁴Ary nandeha ilay zatovo, dia ilay zatovon'ny mpaminany, nankany Ramota-gileada.[Na: ilay zatovo mpaminany]

⁵And when he came, behold, the captains of the host were sitting; and he said, I have an errand to thee, O captain. And Jehu said, Unto which of all us? And he said, To thee, O captain.

⁵Ary 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.

⁶And he arose, and went into the house; and he poured the oil on his head, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, I have anointed thee king over the people of the LORD, even over Israel.

⁶Ary 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.

⁷And thou shalt smite the house of Ahab thy master, that I may avenge the blood of my servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of the LORD, at the hand of Jezebel.

⁷Ary 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.

⁸For the whole house of Ahab shall perish: and I will cut off from Ahab him that pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up and left in Israel:

⁸Eny, 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;

⁹And I will make the house of Ahab like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah:

⁹Ary ny taranak'i Ahaba hataoko tahaka ny taranak'i Jeroboama, zanak'i Nebata, sy tahaka ny taranak'i Basa, zanak'i Ahia;

¹⁰And the dogs shall eat Jezebel in the portion of Jezreel, and there shall be none to bury her. And he opened the door, and fled.

¹⁰Ary Jezebela hohanin'ny alika ao amin'ny tany Jezirela, ka tsy hisy handevina azy. Dia namoha ny varavarana ilay zatovo ka lasa nandositra.

¹¹Then Jehu came forth to the servants of his lord: and one said unto him, Is all well? wherefore came this mad fellow to thee? And he said unto them, Ye know the man, and his communication.

¹¹Ary 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.

¹²And they said, It is false; tell us now. And he said, Thus and thus spake he to me, saying, Thus saith the LORD, I have anointed thee king over Israel.

¹²Fa 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.

¹³Then they hasted, and took every man his garment, and put it under him on the top of the stairs, and blew with trumpets, saying, Jehu is king.

¹³Dia 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.

¹⁴So Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi conspired against Joram. (Now Joram had kept Ramothgilead, he and all Israel, because of Hazael king of Syria.

¹⁴Ary 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;

¹⁵But king Joram was returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which the Syrians had given him, when he fought with Hazael king of Syria.) And Jehu said, If it be your minds, then let none go forth nor escape out of the city to go to tell it in Jezreel.

¹⁵Nefa 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.

¹⁶So Jehu rode in a chariot, and went to Jezreel; for Joram lay there. And Ahaziah king of Judah was come down to see Joram.

¹⁶Dia 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.

¹⁷And there stood a watchman on the tower in Jezreel, and he spied the company of Jehu as he came, and said, I see a company. And Joram said, Take an horseman, and send to meet them, and let him say, Is it peace?

¹⁷Ary 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?

¹⁸So there went one on horseback to meet him, and said, Thus saith the king, Is it peace? And Jehu said, What hast thou to do with peace? turn thee behind me. And the watchman told, saying, The messenger came to them, but he cometh not again.

¹⁸Dia 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.

¹⁹Then he sent out a second on horseback, which came to them, and said, Thus saith the king, Is it peace? And Jehu answered, What hast thou to do with peace? turn thee behind me.

¹⁹Dia 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.

²⁰And the watchman told, saying, He came even unto them, and cometh not again: and the driving is like the driving of Jehu the son of Nimshi; for he driveth furiously.

²⁰Ary 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.

²¹And Joram said, Make ready. And his chariot was made ready. And Joram king of Israel and Ahaziah king of Judah went out, each in his chariot, and they went out against Jehu, and met him in the portion of Naboth the Jezreelite.

²¹Ary 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.

²²And it came to pass, when Joram saw Jehu, that he said, Is it peace, Jehu? And he answered, What peace, so long as the whoredoms of thy mother Jezebel and her witchcrafts are so many?

²²Ary 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?

²³And Joram turned his hands, and fled, and said to Ahaziah, There is treachery, O Ahaziah.

²³Ary Jorama nampihodina ka nandositra sady niteny tamin'i Ahazia hoe: Misy fitaka, ry Ahazia.

²⁴And Jehu drew a bow with his full strength, and smote Jehoram between his arms, and the arrow went out at his heart, and he sunk down in his chariot.

²⁴Ary 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.

²⁵Then said Jehu to Bidkar his captain, Take up, and cast him in the portion of the field of Naboth the Jezreelite: for remember how that, when I and thou rode together after Ahab his father, the LORD laid this burden upon him;

²⁵Ary 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:

²⁶Surely I have seen yesterday the blood of Naboth, and the blood of his sons, saith the LORD; and I will requite thee in this plat, saith the LORD. Now therefore take and cast him into the plat of ground, according to the word of the LORD.

²⁶Efa 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.

²⁷But when Ahaziah the king of Judah saw this, he fled by the way of the garden house. And Jehu followed after him, and said, Smite him also in the chariot. And they did so at the going up to Gur, which is by Ibleam. And he fled to Megiddo, and died there.

²⁷Ary 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.

²⁸And his servants carried him in a chariot to Jerusalem, and buried him in his sepulchre with his fathers in the city of David.

²⁸Ary 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.

²⁹And in the eleventh year of Joram the son of Ahab began Ahaziah to reign over Judah.

²⁹Ary tamin'ny taona fahiraika ambin'ny folo nanjakan'i Jorama, zanak'i Ahaba, no vao nanjakan'i Ahazia tamin'ny tany Joda.

³⁰And when Jehu was come to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it; and she painted her face, and tired her head, and looked out at a window.

³⁰Dia 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.[Heb. antimony]

³¹And as Jehu entered in at the gate, she said, Had Zimri peace, who slew his master?

³¹Ary nony niditra teo am-bavahady Jeho, dia hoy Jezebela: Fihavanana va, ry Zimry, mpamono tompo?

³²And he lifted up his face to the window, and said, Who is on my side? who? And there looked out to him two or three eunuchs.

³²Ary niandrandra ny varavaran-kely Jeho ka nanao hoe: Iza aminareo ireo no momba ahy? Iza? Ary nisy tandapa roa na telo teo nitsirika azy.

³³And he said, Throw her down. So they threw her down: and some of her blood was sprinkled on the wall, and on the horses: and he trode her under foot.

³³Ary 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.

³⁴And when he was come in, he did eat and drink, and said, Go, see now this cursed woman, and bury her: for she is a king's daughter.

³⁴Dia 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.

³⁵And they went to bury her: but they found no more of her than the skull, and the feet, and the palms of her hands.

³⁵Koa dia lasa ireo handevina azy; nefa tsy nisy tratrany teo afa-tsy ny karan-dohany sy ny tongony ary ny felatanany ihany.

³⁶Wherefore they came again, and told him. And he said, This is the word of the LORD, which he spake by his servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, In the portion of Jezreel shall dogs eat the flesh of Jezebel:

³⁶Ary 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,Ary ny fatiny ho toy ny zezika any an-tsaha, ny amin'ny tany Jezirela, ka tsy hisy hahazo milaza hoe Jezebela ity.

³⁷And the carcass of Jezebel shall be as dung upon the face of the field in the portion of Jezreel; so that they shall not say, This is Jezebel.

³⁷Ary ny fatiny ho toy ny zezika any an-tsaha, ny amin'ny tany Jezirela, ka tsy hisy hahazo milaza hoe Jezebela ity.
