¹Elisha the prophet called one of the sons of the prophets, and said to him, “Put your belt on your waist, take this vial of oil in your hand, and go to Ramoth Gilead.

¹Li profeta Eliseo quixbok jun li sâj cuînk xcomoneb li profeta li cuanqueb aran, ut quixye re: —Yîb âcuib re tatxic saß li naßajej Ramot li cuan saß xcuênt Galaad ut cßam li aceite aßin.

²When you come there, find Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi, and go in, and make him arise up from among his brothers, and carry him to an inner room.

²Nak tatcuulak saß li tenamit aßan, tâsicß laj Jehú li ralal laj Josafat. Laj Jehú, aßan ri laj Nimsi. Nak tâtau, tat-oc aran cuan cuiß. Tâcuisi saß xyânkeb li cuanqueb rochben ut tâcßam xjunes saß jalan naßajej.

³Then take the vial of oil, and pour it on his head, and say, ‘Thus says Yahweh, “I have anointed you king over Israel.”’ Then open the door, flee, and don’t wait.”

³Nak ac cuânk xjunes tâqßue li aceite saß xjolom ut tâye re, “Joßcaßin xye li Kâcuaß: Anakcuan xatinxakab chokß xreyeb laj Israel,” chan. Nak acak xaqßue li aceite saß xjolom, tâte li puerta ut tat-êlk saß junpât. Matbay aran, chan laj Eliseo.

⁴So the young man, even the young man the prophet, went to Ramoth Gilead.

⁴Cô ut li sâj profeta saß li tenamit Ramot li cuan saß xcuênt Galaad.

⁵When he came, behold, the captains of the army were sitting. Then he said, “I have a message for you, captain.” Jehu said, “To which of us all?” He said, “To you, O captain.”

⁵Nak quicuulac saß li tenamit aßan, chunchûqueb nak quixtauheb li nequeßtaklan saß xyânkeb li soldado. Quixye reheb: —Lâin nacuaj âtinac riqßuin li nataklan xban nak cuan cßaßru tinye re, chan.

⁶He arose, and went into the house. Then he poured the oil on his head, and said to him, “Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, ‘I have anointed you king over the people of Yahweh, even over Israel.

⁶Quicuacli ut laj Jehú ut queßoc saß cab xjuneseb. Ut li profeta quixqßue li aceite saß xjolom ut quixye re: —Joßcaßin xye li Kâcuaß li nequeßxlokßoni eb laj Israel, “Anakcuan xatinxakab chokß xreyeb lin tenamit Israel.

⁷You shall strike the house of Ahab your master, that I may avenge the blood of my servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of Yahweh, at the hand of Jezebel.

⁸For the whole house of Ahab shall perish. I will cut off from Ahab everyone who urinates against a wall, or, male both him who is shut up and him who is left at large in Israel.

⁸Tâcamsiheb chixjunileb li ralal xcßajol laj Acab. Tâsacheb ru chixjunileb li cuînk li cuanqueb saß xyânkeb li ralal xcßajol. Mâ jun chic reheb teßcanâk chi yoßyo.

⁹I 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.

⁹Tinsach ruheb li ralal xcßajol laj Acab joß nak quinsach ruheb li ralal xcßajol laj Jeroboam li ralal laj Nabat. Tinsach ruheb joß nak quinsach ruheb li ralal xcßajol laj Baasa li ralal laj Ahías.

¹⁰The dogs will eat Jezebel on the plot of ground of Jezreel, and there shall be none to bury her.’” He opened the door, and fled.

¹⁰Ut lix Jezabel mâ ani tâmukuk re nak tâcâmk. Tzßiß tâcßuxuk re saß li ru takßa Jezreel”, chan.— Nak quirakeß chixyebal li profeta li cßaßru quixye li Kâcuaß, quixte li puerta ut cô saß junpât.

¹¹Then Jehu came forth to the servants of his lord: and one said to him, “Is all well? Why did this mad fellow come to you?” He said to them, “You know the man and what his talk was.”

¹¹Laj Jehú cô cuißchic riqßuineb li rochben ut queßxye re: —¿Cßaßru xraj âcuiqßuin li lôc aj cuînk aßan? chanqueb. Laj Jehú quixye reheb: —Lâex ac nequenau ru li cuînk aßan. Lâex nequenau chanru naâtinac, chan.

¹²They said, “That is a lie. Tell us now.” He said, “He said to me, ‘Thus says Yahweh, I have anointed you king over Israel.’”

¹²Queßxye re: —Moco yâl ta aßan. Lâo incßaß nakanau cßaßru naraj, chanqueb. Ut laj Jehú quixye reheb: —Li cuînk aßan xye cue: Joßcaßin xye li Kâcuaß Dios: Lâin xatinxakab chokß xreyeb laj Israel, chan laj Jehú.

¹³Then they hurried, and took every man his garment, and put it under him on the top of the stairs, and blew the trumpet, saying, “Jehu is king.”

¹³Saß junpât queßxcßam chak lix tßicreb li rech soldâdil ut queßxhel saß li gradas re nak laj Jehú tâxaklîk saß xbên ut queßxyâbasiheb lix trompeta ut queßxjap reheb chixyebal: —Laj Jehú, aßan li karey, chanqueb.

¹⁴So Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi conspired against Joram. (Now Joram was keeping Ramoth Gilead, he and all Israel, because of Hazael king of Syria;

¹⁴Joßcan nak laj Jehú quixcßûb ru chanru nak tixcamsi li rey Joram. Laj Jehú, aßan li ralal laj Josafat. Ut laj Josafat, aßan li ralal laj Nimsi. Laj Joram yô chixcolbal li tenamit Ramot cuan saß xcuênt Galaad chiru laj Hazael lix reyeb laj Siria. Chixjunileb li soldados aj Israel cuanqueb rochben laj Joram.

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.) Jehu said, “If this is your thinking, then let no one escape and go out of the city, to go to tell it in Jezreel.”

¹⁵Li rey Joram ac xsukßi saß li tenamit Jezreel re tâqßuirâk xban nak quitochßeß xbaneb laj Siria nak cô chi pletic riqßuineb li rey Hazael. Laj Jehú quixye reheb li soldado: —Cui junaj kacßaßux, chebânu cuênt nak mâ ani tâêlk saß li tenamit Ramot re teßxic chixyebal resil reheb li cuanqueb Jezreel, chan.

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

¹⁶Chirix aßan, laj Jehú quitakeß saß lix carruaje ut cô saß li tenamit Jezreel xban nak aran cuan laj Joram. Toj yaj. Laj Ocozías lix reyeb laj Judá yô chirulaßaninquil.

¹⁷Now the watchman was standing on the tower in Jezreel, and he spied the company of Jehu as he came, and said, “I see a company.” Joram said, “Take a horseman, and send to meet them, and let him say, ‘Is it peace?’”

¹⁷Li cuînk li yô chixcßacßalenquil li tenamit Jezreel cuan saß li cab najt xteram. Quiril nak yôqueb chak chi châlc lix soldados laj Jehú. Quixjap re chixyebal: —Cueßqueb chak jun chßûtal li soldados, chan. Li rey Joram quixye re: —Takla junak li cuînk chirix cacuây chixpatzßbal reheb ma saß usilal xeßchal, chan.

¹⁸So there went one on horseback to meet him, and said, “Thus says the king, ‘Is it peace?’” Jehu said, “What do you have to do with peace? Fall in behind me!” The watchman said, “The messenger came to them, but he isn’t coming back.”

¹⁸Li cuînk li queßxtakla cô chixcßulbal laj Jehú ut quixye re: —Li rey târaj tixnau ma saß usilal xatchal, chan re. Ut laj Jehú quixye re: —¿Cßaßru tâcuaj re aßan lâat? Qßue âcuib chicuix, chan. Ut li cuînk quixtâke laj Jehú. Li cuînk li yô chi cßacßalênc re li tenamit quixye re li rey Joram: —Li takl xcuulac riqßuineb, abanan incßaß chic xsukßi chak, chan.

¹⁹Then he sent out a second on horseback, who came to them, and said, “Thus says the king, ‘Is it peace?’” Jehu answered, “What do you have to do with peace? Fall in behind me!”

¹⁹Ut li rey Joram quixtakla jun chic lix takl chirix cacuây re tixpatzß re laj Jehú ma saß usilal xchal. Cô ut li cuînk. Nak quicuulac riqßuin laj Jehú, quixye re: —Li rey Joram xtakla xpatzßbal âcue ma saß usilal xatchal, chan. Ut laj Jehú quixye re: —¿Cßaßru tâcuaj re aßan lâat? Qßue âcuib chicuix, chan.

²⁰The watchman said, “He came to them, and isn’t coming back. The driving is like the driving of Jehu the son of Nimshi; for he drives furiously.”

²⁰Li cuînk li yô chi cßacßalênc saß li tenamit quixye re li rey Joram: —Li takl xcuulac riqßuineb. Abanan chi moco aßan xsukßi chak. Li carruaje yô chi châlc saß junpât. Riqßuin aßan nacßutun nak mâre aßan laj Jehú li ralal laj Nimsi xban nak aßan naxberesi lix carruaje saß junpât. Chanchan li lôc, chan.

²¹Joram said, “Get ready!” They got his chariot ready. Joram king of Israel and Ahaziah king of Judah went out, each in his chariot, and they went out to meet Jehu, and found him in the portion of Naboth the Jezreelite.

²¹Li rey Joram quixye: —Cauresihomak lin carruaje re tinxic lâin chixcßulbal, chan. Nak ac xyâloß li carruaje, laj Joram quitakeß saß lix carruaje ut li rey Ocozías quitakeß ajcuiß saß lix carruaje aßan. Ut queßcôeb chixcßulbal laj Jehú. Queßxcßul ribeb saß lix naßaj laj Nabot, Jezreel xtenamit.

²²It happened, when Joram saw Jehu, that he said, “Is it peace, Jehu?” He answered, “What peace, so long as the prostitution of your mother Jezebel and her witchcraft abound?”

²²Nak li rey Joram quiril laj Jehú quixye re: —At Jehú, ¿ma saß usilal xatchal? chan. Laj Jehú quixye re: —¿Chanru nak tocuânk saß usilal nak lix Jezabel lâ naß toj yô chixlokßoninquileb li yîbanbil dios ut cßajoß li tûlac yô? chan.

²³Joram turned his hands, and fled, and said to Ahaziah, “There is treason, Ahaziah!”

²³Laj Joram quixsukßisi lix carruaje re tâêlelik ut quixjap re chixyebal re laj Ocozías: —¡At Ocozías, xoxbalakßi! chan.

²⁴Jehu drew his bow with his full strength, and struck Joram between his arms; and the arrow went out at his heart, and he sunk down in his chariot.

²⁴Abanan laj Jehú quixtîca laj Joram riqßuin lix tzimaj. Nak quixcut chi cau, lix tzimaj saß xyi rix laj Joram qui-oc ut quinumeß saß li râm. Ut laj Joram quitßaneß saß lix carruaje chi camenak.

²⁵Then Jehu said to Bidkar his captain, “Pick him up, and throw him in the plot of the field of Naboth the Jezreelite; for remember how, when you and I rode together after Ahab his father, Yahweh laid this burden on him:

²⁵Laj Jehú quixye re laj Bidcar li nataklan saß xbêneb lix soldado: —Cutumak li camenak saß lix chßochß laj Nabot aj Jezreel. ¿Ma jultic âcue nak cuotz yôco chi xic chirix laj Acab, lix yucuaß laj Joram, nak li Kâcuaß Dios quixteneb li raylal aßin saß xbên laj Acab?

²⁶‘Surely I have seen yesterday the blood of Naboth, and the blood of his sons,’ says Yahweh; ‘and I will repay you in this plot of ground,’ says Yahweh. Now therefore take and cast him onto the plot of ground, according to the word of Yahweh.”

²⁶Quixye, “Ecuêr quicuil nak queßcamsîc laj Nabot ut eb li ralal. Ninye âcue nak tatinqßue chixtojbal âmâc saß ajcuiß li naßajej aßin. Lâin li Kâcuaß ninyehoc re aßin,” chan. Joßcan nak cßam li camenak ut cut aßan saß lix chßochß laj Nabot joß quixye li Kâcuaß, chan laj Jehú.

²⁷But when Ahaziah the king of Judah saw this, he fled by the way of the garden house. Jehu followed after him, and said, “Strike him also in the chariot!” They struck him at the ascent of Gur, which is by Ibleam. He fled to Megiddo, and died there.

²⁷Laj Ocozías lix reyeb laj Judá quiril li quicßulman. Joßcan nak quiêlelic toj Bet-hagan. Abanan laj Jehú quixtâke ut quixye reheb lix soldados nak teßxcamsi laj Ocozías.

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

²⁸Ut eb li nequeßcßanjelac chiru laj Ocozías queßxcßam li camenak toj Jerusalén ut queßxmuk saß lix tenamit laj David saß li naßajej li queßmukeß cuiß lix xeßtônil xyucuaß.

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

³⁰When Jehu had come to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it; and she painted her eyes, and attired her head, and looked out at the window.

³⁰Chirix chic aßan laj Jehú quisukßi Jezreel ut lix Jezabel quirabi resil. Quixbon li ru ut quixyîb chi us li rismal ut quixxakab rib chi iloc saß ventana.

³¹As Jehu entered in at the gate, she said, “Do you come in peace, Zimri, you murderer of your master?”

³¹Nak laj Jehú qui-oc saß li tenamit, lix Jezabel quixye re: —¿Ma saß usilal xatchal, at Zimri? Lâat li xacamsi lâ rey.

³²He lifted up his face to the window, and said, “Who is on my side? Who?” Two or three eunuchs looked out at him.

³²Laj Jehú qui-iloc saß li ventana ut quixjap re chixyebal: —¿Ani tâoquênk chicuix? chan. Cuib oxibeb li cuînk eunuco yôqueb chi iloc saß li ventana.

³³He said, “Throw her down!” So they threw her down; and some of her blood was sprinkled on the wall, and on the horses. Then he trampled her under foot.

³³Laj Jehú quixye reheb: —Cutumak li ixk aßan takßa, chan. Ut queßxcut li ixk takßa. Quirachoc lix quiqßuel chiru li tzßac ut chirixeb ajcuiß li cacuây. Ut laj Jehú quixnumsiheb lix cacuây ut eb lix carruaje saß xbên lix Jezabel.

³⁴When he had come in, he ate and drink; and he said, “See now to this cursed woman, and bury her; for she is a king’s daughter.”
