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 sons of the prophets, and said to him, Gird up thy loins, and take this vial of oil in thy hand, and go to Ramoth-Gilead.

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

²And when thou art come thither, look out there Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat, son of Nimshi, and go in, and make him rise up from among his brethren, and bring 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 vial of oil, and pour it on his head and say, Thus saith Jehovah: I have anointed thee king over Israel; and open the door, and flee, and tarry not.

⁴Naizvozvo jaya, iro jaya romuporofita, rakaenda RamotiGiriyadhi.

⁴And the young man, the young prophet, went to Ramoth-Gilead.

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, captain. And Jehu said, To which of all of us? And he said, To thee, captain.

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

⁶And he rose up and went into the house; and he poured the oil on his head, and said to him, Thus saith Jehovah the God of Israel: I have anointed thee king over the people of Jehovah, 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; and I will avenge the blood of my servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of Jehovah at the hand of Jezebel.

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

⁸And the whole house of Ahab shall perish, and I will cut off from Ahab every male, 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 as the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and as 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 plot of Jizreel, and none shall 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.

¹¹And Jehu came forth to the servants of his lord. And one said to him, Is all well? why came this madman to thee? And he said to them, Ye know the man, and his mind.

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 spoke he to me saying, Thus saith Jehovah: 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 very stairs, and blew with trumpets, and said, Jehu is king!

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

¹⁴And Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat, son of Nimshi, conspired against Joram. (Now Joram kept Ramoth-Gilead, 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.

¹⁵and king Joram had returned to be healed in Jizreel of the wounds that the Syrians had given him, when he fought against Hazael king of Syria.) And Jehu said, If it be your will, let not a fugitive escape out of the city to go to tell [it] in Jizreel.

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

¹⁶And Jehu rode in a chariot and went to Jizreel; for Joram lay there. And Ahaziah king of Judah had 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 the watchman stood on the tower in Jizreel, and saw Jehu's company as he came, and said, I see a company. And Joram said, Take a 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 he 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, and he does not return.

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

¹⁹And he sent out a second on horseback; and he came to them and said, Thus saith the king: Is it peace? And Jehu said, 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 to them, and does not return. And the driving is like the driving of Jehu the son of Nimshi; for he drives 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.

²¹Then Joram said, Make ready! And they made ready his chariot. And Joram king of Israel and Ahaziah king of Judah went out, each in his chariot; and they went out to meet Jehu, and met him in the plot of Naboth the Jizreelite.

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 said, What peace, so long as the fornications of thy mother Jezebel and her sorceries are so many?

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

²³Then Joram turned his hand, and fled, and said to Ahaziah, Treachery, Ahaziah!

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

²⁴And Jehu took his bow in his hand, and smote Jehoram between his arms, and the arrow went out through his heart; and he sank 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.

²⁵And he said to Bidkar his captain, Take him up [and] cast him in the plot of the field of Naboth the Jizreelite. For remember how, when I and thou rode together after Ahab his father, that Jehovah 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.

²⁶Certainly I have seen yesterday the blood of Naboth, and the blood of his sons, saith Jehovah; and I will requite thee in this plot, saith Jehovah. And now, take [and] cast him into the plot, according to the word of Jehovah.

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.

²⁷When Ahaziah king of Judah saw [that], he fled by the way of the garden-house. And Jehu followed after him, and said, Smite him also in his chariot. It was on the ascent of Gur, which is by Jibleam. 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.

²⁹(And in the eleventh year of Joram the son of Ahab had Ahaziah begun to reign over Judah.)

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

³⁰And Jehu came to Jizreel; and Jezebel heard of it, and she put paint to her eyes, and decked her head, and looked out at the window.

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

³¹And when Jehu came in at the gate, she said, Is it peace, Zimri, murderer of 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 two or three chamberlains looked out to him.

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

³³And he said, Throw her down! And they threw her down; and some of her blood was sprinkled on the wall, and on the horses; and he trampled on her.

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

³⁴And he came in, and ate and drank; and he said, Go, look, I pray you, after 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 the hands.

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

³⁶And they came back and told him. And he said, This is the word of Jehovah, which he spoke through his servant Elijah the Tishbite saying, In the plot of Jizreel shall dogs eat the flesh of Jezebel;

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

³⁷and the carcase of Jezebel shall be as dung upon the open field in the plot of Jizreel, so that they shall not say, This is Jezebel.
