¹Zvino muporofita Erisha wakadana mumwe wavanakomana vavaporofita, akati kwaari, Chizvisunga chiwuno chako, utore chinu ichi chamafuta muruoko rwako uende RamotiGiriyadhi.

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:

²Zvino kana wasvikapo, utsvakepo Jehu mwanakomana waJehoshafati mwanakomana waNimishi; upinde mumba, ugomuraira asimuke pakati pehama dzake, apinde muimba yomukati.

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;

³Ipapo utore chinu chamafuta, ugoadira pamusoro wake, uchiti, Zvanzi naJehovha, ndakuzodza, kuti uve mambo welsiraeri. Ipapo uzarure mukova, utize, usanonoka.

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.

⁴Naizvozvo jaya, iro jaya romuporofita, rakaenda RamotiGiriyadhi.

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

⁵Wakati asvikapo, akawana vakuru vehondo vagere pasi; akati, Ndine shoko nemi, imwi mukuru. Jehu akati, Kunani, kwatiri tose? Iye akati, Kunemi, imwi mukuru.

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.

⁶Ipapo akasimuka, akapinda mumba; akadira mafuta pamusoro wake, akati kwaari, Zvanzi naJehovha Mwari waIsiraeri, Ndakakuzodza uve, mambo wavanhu vaJehovha, ivo vaIsiraeri.

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.

⁷Uchaparadza imba yatenzi wako Ahabhi, kuti nditsive ropa ravaranda vose vaJehovha kuna Izebheri.

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.

⁸nekuti vose veimba yaAhabhi vachaparadzwa,ndichaparadza kuna Ahabhi vana vavakomana vose, vakuru navaduku pakati palsiraeri.

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:

⁹Ndichaita imba yaAhabhi seimba yaJerobhoamu mwanakomana waNebhati, uye seimba yaBhaasha mwanakomana waAhija.

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:

¹⁰Imbwa dzichadya Izebheri panyika yeJezereeri, hakuna uchamuviga. Ipapo akazarura mukova, ndokutiza.

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.

¹¹Zvino Jehu akabuda kuvaranda vashe wake, mumwe akati kwaari, Kuno mufaro here? Benzi iri rakavingeiko kwauri? Iye akati kwavari, Munoziva henyu munhu uyu, nokutaura kwake.

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.

¹²Ivo vakati, Inhema! Tiudze. Iye akati, Wandiudza zvokuti nezvokuti, akati, Zvanzi naJehovha, Ndakakuzodza uve mambo waIsiraeri.

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.

¹³Ipapo vakakurumidza, mumwe nomumwe akatora nguvo yake, akaiisa pasi pake pamusoro pezvikwiriso, vakaridza hwamanda, vakati, Jehu ndimambo!

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.

¹⁴Naizvozvo Jehu mwanakomana waJehoshafati, mwanakomana waNimishi, akamukira Joramu. (Zvino Joramu wakange achidzivirira RamotiGiriyadhi, iye navaIsiraeri vose, nokuda kwaHazaeri mambo weSiria.

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.

¹⁵Asi mambo Jehoramu wakange adzokera Jezereeri kuzorapwa mavanga ake, aakanga atemwa navaSiria, nguva yaakarwa naHazaeri mambo weSiria). Ipapo Jehu akati, Kana muchitenda nazvo, ngakurege kuva nomunhu unotiza muguta, kundoudza izvozvo paJezereeri.

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.

¹⁶Naizvozvo Jehu akafamba nengoro, akaenda Jezereeri, nekuti Joramu wakange avetepo. Zvino Ahazia mambo waJudha wakange aendako kuzoona Joramu.

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.

¹⁷Zvino nharirire yakanga imire pamusoro peshongwe yeJezereeri, ikaona boka raJehu richiuya, ikati, Ndinoona boka ravanhu. Joramu akati, Danai mutasvi webhiza, mumutume andosangana navo, ati, Kunorugare here?

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?

¹⁸Naizvozvo mumwe akakwira bhiza, akandosangana naye, akati, Zvanzi namambo, Kuno rugare here? Jehu akati, Uneiko norugare? Enda shure kwangu. Ipapo nharirire yakataura, ikati, Nhume yakasvika kwavari, asi haidzokizve.

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.

¹⁹Zvino akatuma wechipiri, wakange akatasva bhiza, iye akasvika kwaari, akati, Zvanzi namambo,

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.

²⁰Zvino nharirire yakataura, ikati, Wakasvika hake kwavari, asi haadzokizve; uye kufambisa kwakafanana nokufambisa kwaJehu mwanakomana waNimishi, nekuti unofambisa zvinotyisa.

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.

²¹Ipapo Joramu akati, Sungai ngoro! Vakasunga ngoro yake. Ipapo Joramu mambo welsiraeri, naAhazia mambo waJudha vakabuda kundosangana naJehu, mumwe nomumwe nengoro yake, vakamuwana pabindu raNabhoti muJezereeri.

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.

²²Zvino Joramu wakati achiona Jehu, akati, Kuno rugare here, nhai Jehu? Iye akapindura, akati, Rugare rwei! Kana ufeve hwamai vako Izebheri nouruoyi hwavo huchiripo huzhinji hwakadai!

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?

²³Ipapo Joramu akadzosa ngoro yake, akatiza, akati kuna Ahazia, Tanyengerwa Ahazia!

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

²⁴Ipapo Jehu akabwembura uta hwake nesimba rose, akapfura Joramu pakati pamafudzi ake, museve ndokubuda napamoyo wake, akawira mungoro yake.

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.

²⁵Zvino Jehu akati kuna Bhidhikari, mukuru wake wehondo, Musimudze, umurashire pabindu romunda waNabhoti muJezereeri; nekuti urangarire kuti Jehovha wakataura izvi pamusoro pake, musi watakatasva mabhiza isu vaviri tichitevera Ahabhi baba vake.

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;

²⁶Zvanzi naJehovha, Zvirokwazvo, ndakaona zuro ropa raNabhoti, neropa ravanakomana vake; ini ndichakutsiva pabindu iri romunda, ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha. Naizvozvo zvino, mutore umukandire pabindu romunda, sezvakataurwa naJehovha.

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.

²⁷Asi Ahazia mambo waJudha, wakati achizviona, akatiza nenzira yakapfuura napaimba yomunda, Jehu akamutevera, akati, Muuraye naiyewo mungoro. Vakamubaya pajinga pegomo reGuri riri paIbhureami. Akatizira Megidho, akafirapo.

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.

²⁸Varanda vake vakamutakurira Jerusaremu nengoro, vakamuviga pahwiro hwake kuna madzibaba ake muguta raDhavhidhi. :.

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

²⁹Ahazia akatanga kubata ushe hwaJudha pagore regumi nerimwe raJoramu mwanakomana waAhabhi.

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

³⁰Zvino Jehu wakati achisvika paJezereeri, Izebheri akazvinzwa; akazodza kumeso kwake, nokushongedza musoro wake, akatarira napahwindo.

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.

³¹Zvino Jehu akati achipinda napasuwo, akati, Kunorugare here, nhai iwe Zimiri, muurayi watenzi wako?

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

³²Iye akatarira kumusoro kuhwindo, akati, Ndianiko unonzwana neni? Ndianiko? Ipapo varanda vaviri kana vatatu vakatarira kwaari napahwindo.

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.

³³Akati, Musundire pasi. Naizvozvo vakamusundira pasi, rimwe ropa rake rikachambwadzira pamadziro napamabhiza, akamutsika namakumbo ake.

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.

³⁴Zvino wakati apinda, akadya nokumwa, akati, Zvino chiendai mundotarira mukadzi uyo akatukwa, mumuvige, nekuti mukunda wamambo.

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.

³⁵Vakaenda kundomuviga, asi havana kuwana chinhu, asi dehenya rake, netsoka, nezvanza zvamaoko ake.

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.

³⁶Naizvozvo vakadzoka vakamuudza. Iye akati, Ndiro shoko raJehovha, raakataura nomuranda wake Eria muTishibhi, zvaakati, Imbwa dzichadya nyama yaIzebheri panyika yeJezereeri;

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:

³⁷uye chitunha chaIzebheri chichava somupfudze pamusoro pomunda panyika yeJezereeri; naizvozvo havangati, uyu ndiye Izebheri.

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.
