Ii Regum 9
1 Eliseus autem prophetes vocavit unum de filiis prophetarum, et ait illi: Accinge lumbos tuos, et tolle lenticulam olei hanc in manu tua, et vade in Ramoth Galaad.
And Elisaie the prophet called one of the sons of the prophets, and said to him, Gird up your loins, and take this cruse of oil in your hand, and go to Remmoth Galaad.
2 Cumque veneris illuc, videbis Iehu filium Iosaphat filii Namsi: et ingressus suscitabis eum de medio fratrum suorum, et introduces in interius cubiculum.
And you shall enter there, and shall see there Ju the son of Josaphat son of Namessi, and shall go in and make him rise up from amongst his brethren, and shall bring him into a secret chamber.
3 Tenensque lenticulam olei, fundes super caput eius, et dices: Hæc dicit Dominus: Unxi te regem super Israel. Aperiesque ostium, et fugies, et non ibi subsistes.
And you shall take the cruse of oil, and pour [it] on his head, and say you, Thus says the Lord, I have anointed you king over Israel: and you shall open the door, and flee, and not wait.
4 Abiit ergo adolescens puer prophetæ in Ramoth Galaad,
And the young man the prophet went to Remmoth Galaad.
5 et ingressus est illuc: ecce autem principes exercitus sedebant, et ait: Verbum mihi ad te, O princeps. Dixitque Iehu: Ad quem ex omnibus nobis? At ille dixit: Ad te, O princeps.
And he went in, and, behold, the captains of the host were sitting; and he said, I have a message to you, O captain. And Ju said, To which of all us? And he said, To you, O captain.
6 Et surrexit et ingressus est cubiculum: at ille fudit oleum super caput eius, et ait: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus Israel: Unxi te regem super populum Domini Israel,
And he arose, and went into the house: and he poured the oil upon his head, and said to him, Thus says the Lord God of Israel, I have anointed you to be king over the people of the Lord, even over Israel.
7 et percuties domum Achab domini tui, et ulciscar sanguinem servorum meorum prophetarum, et sanguinem omnium servorum Domini de manu Iezabel.
And you shall utterly destroy the house of Achaab your master from before me, and shall avenge the blood of my servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of the Lord, at the hand of Jezabel,
8 Perdamque omnem domum Achab: et interficiam de Achab mingentem ad parietem, et clausum, et novissimum in Israel.
and at the hand of the whole house of Achaab: and you shall utterly cut off from the house of Achaab every male, and him that is shut up and left in Israel.
9 Et dabo domum Achab, sicut domum Ieroboam filii Nabat, et sicut domum Baasa filii Ahia.
And I will make the house of Achaab like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, and as the house of Baasa the son of Achia.
10 Iezabel quoque comedent canes in agro Iezrahel, nec erit qui sepeliat eam. Aperuitque ostium, et fugit.
And the dogs shall eat Jezabel in the portion of Jezreel, and there shall be none to bury her. And he opened the door, and fled.
11 Iehu autem egressus est ad servos domini sui: qui dixerunt ei: Recte ne sunt omnia? Quid venit insanus iste ad te? Qui ait eis: Nostis hominem, et quid locutus sit.
And Ju went forth to the servants of his lord, and they said to him, [Is] all well? Why came this mad fellow in to you? And he said to them, You know the man, and his communication.
12 At ille responderunt: Falsum est, sed magis narra nobis. Qui ait eis: Hæc et hæc locutus est mihi, et ait: Hæc dicit Dominus: Unxi te regem super Israel.
And they said, [It is] wrong: tell us now. And Ju said to them, Thus and thus spoke he to me, saying, —and he said, Thus says the Lord, I have anointed you to be king over Israel.
13 Festinaverunt itaque, et unusquisque tollens pallium suum posuerunt sub pedibus eius, in similitudinem tribunalis, et cecinerunt tuba, atque dixerunt: Regnavit Iehu.
And when they heard it, they hasted, and took every man his garment, and put it under him on the top of the stairs, and blew with the trumpet, and said, Ju is king.
14 Coniuravit ergo Iehu filius Iosaphat filii Namsi contra Ioram: porro Ioram obsederat Ramoth Galaad, ipse, et omnis Israel contra Hazael regem Syriæ:
So Ju the son of Josaphat the son of Namessi conspired against Joram, and Joram was defending Remmoth Galaad, he and all Israel, because of Azael king of Syria.
15 et reversus fuerat ut curaretur in Iezrahel propter vulnera, quia percusserant eum Syri, præliantem contra Hazael regem Syriæ: Dixitque Iehu: Si placet vobis, nemo egrediatur profugus de civitate, ne vadat, et nunciet in Iezrahel.
And king Joram had returned to be healed in Jezrael of the wounds which the Syrians had given him, in his war with Azael king of Syria. And Ju said, If your heart is with me, let there not go forth out of the city one fugitive to go and report to Jezrael.
16 Et ascendit, et profectus est in Iezrahel: Ioram enim ægrotabat ibi, et Ochozias rex Iuda descenderat ad visitandum Ioram.
And Ju rode and advanced, and came down to Jezrael; for Joram king of Israel was getting healed in Jezrael of the arrow-wounds wherewith the Syrians [had] wounded him in Rammath in the war with Azael king of Syria; for he [was] strong and a mighty man: and Ochozias king of Juda was come down to see Joram.
17 Igitur speculator, qui stabat super turrim Iezrahel, vidit globum Iehu venientis, et ait: Video ego globum. Dixitque Ioram: Tolle currum, et mitte in occursum eorum, et dicat vadens: Recte ne sunt omnia?
And there went up a watchman upon the tower of Jezrael, and saw the dust [made by] Ju as he approached; and he said, I see dust. And Joram said, Take a horseman, and send to meet them, and let him say, Peace.
18 Abiit ergo, qui ascenderat currum, in occursum eius, et ait: Hæc dicit rex: Pacata ne sunt omnia? Dixitque Iehu: Quid tibi et paci? Transi, et sequere me. Nunciavit quoque speculator, dicens: Venit nuncius ad eos, et non revertitur.
And there went a horseman to meet them, and said, Thus says the king, Peace. And Ju said, What have you to do with peace? turn behind me. And the watchman reported, saying, The messenger came up to them, and has not returned.
19 Misit etiam currum equorum secundum: venitque ad eos, et ait: Hæc dicit rex: Numquid pax est? Et ait Iehu: Quid tibi et paci? Transi, et sequere me.
And he sent another horseman, and he came to him, and said, Thus says the king, Peace. And Ju said, What have you to do with peace? turn behind me.
20 Nunciavit autem speculator, dicens: Venit usque ad eos, et non revertitur: est autem incessus quasi incessus Iehu filii Namsi, præceps enim graditur.
And the watchman reported, saying, He came up to them, and has not returned: and the driver drives Ju the son of Namessi, for it is with furious [haste].
21 Et ait Ioram: Iunge currum. Iunxeruntque currum eius, et egressus est Ioram rex Israel, et Ochozias rex Iuda, singuli in curribus suis, egressique sunt in occursum Iehu, et invenerunt eum in agro Naboth Iezrahelitæ.
And Joram said, Make ready. And one made ready the chariot: and Joram the king of Israel went forth, and Ochozias king of Juda, each in his chariot, and they went to meet Ju, and found him in the portion of Nabuthai the Jezraelite.
22 Cumque vidisset Ioram Iehu, dixit: Pax est Iehu? At ille respondit: Quæ pax? Adhuc fornicationes Iezabel matris tuæ, et veneficia eius multa vigent.
And it came to pass when Joram saw Ju, that he said, [Is it] peace, Ju? And Ju said, How [can it be] peace? as yet [there are] the whoredoms of your mother Jezabel, and her abundant witchcrafts.
23 Convertit autem Ioram manum suam, et fugiens ait ad Ochoziam: Insidiæ Ochozia.
And Joram turned his hands, and fled, and said to Ochozias, Treachery, Ochozias.
24 Porro Iehu tetendit arcum manu, et percussit Ioram inter scapulas: et egressa est sagitta per cor eius, statimque corruit in curru suo.
And Ju bent his bow with his full strength, and struck Joram between his arms, and his arrow went out at his heart, and he bowed upon his knees.
25 Dixitque Iehu ad Badacer ducem: Tolle, proiice eum in agro Naboth Iezrahelitæ: memini enim quando ego et tu sedentes in curru sequebamur Achab patrem huius, quod Dominus onus hoc levaverit super eum, dicens:
And [Ju] said to Badecar his chief officer, Cast him into the portion of ground of Nabuthai the Jezraelite, for I and you remember, riding [as we were] on chariots after Achaab his father, that the Lord took up this burden against him, [saying],
26 Si non pro sanguine Naboth, et pro sanguine filiorum eius, quem vidi heri, ait Dominus, reddam tibi in agro isto, dicit Dominus. Nunc ergo tolle, et proiice eum in agrum iuxta verbum Domini.
Surely, I have seen yesterday the blood of Nabuthai, and the blood of his sons, says the Lord; and I will recompense him in this portion, says the Lord. Now then, I pray you, take him up and cast him into the portion, according to the word of the Lord.
27 Ochozias autem rex Iuda videns hoc, fugit per viam domus horti: persecutusque est eum Iehu, et ait: Etiam hunc percutite in curru suo. Et percusserunt eum in ascensu Gaver, qui est iuxta Ieblaam: qui fugit in Mageddo, et mortuus est ibi.
And Ochozias king of Juda saw [it], and fled by the way of Baethgan. And Ju pursued after him, and said, [Slay] him also. And one struck him in the chariot at the going up of Gai, which is Jeblaam: and he fled to Mageddo, and died there.
28 Et imposuerunt eum servi eius super currum suum, et tulerunt in Ierusalem: sepelieruntque eum in sepulchro cum patribus suis in Civitate David.
And his servants put him on a chariot, and brought him to Jerusalem, and they buried him in his sepulchre in the city of David.
29 Anno undecimo Ioram filii Achab, regnavit Ochozias super Iudam,
And in the eleventh year of Joram king of Israel, Ochozias began to reign over Juda.
30 venitque Iehu in Iezrahel. Porro Iezabel introitu eius audito, depinxit oculos suos stibio, et ornavit caput suum, et respexit per fenestram
And Ju came to Jezrael; and Jezabel heard [of it], and coloured her eyes, and adorned her head, and looked through the window.
31 ingredientem Iehu per portam, et ait: Numquid pax potest esse Zambri, qui interfecit dominum suum?
And Ju entered into the city; and she said, Had Zambri, the murderer of his master, peace?
32 Levavitque Iehu faciem suam ad fenestram, et ait: Quæ est ista? Et inclinaverunt se ad eum duo, vel tres eunuchi.
And he lifted up his face towards the window, and saw her, and said, Who are you? Come down with me. And two eunuchs looked down towards him.
33 At ille dixit eis: Præcipitate eam deorsum. Et præcipitaverunt eam, aspersusque est sanguine paries, et equorum ungulæ conculcaverunt eam.
And 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 they trampled on her.
34 Cumque introgressus esset, ut comederet, biberetque, ait: Ite, et videte maledictam illam, et sepelite eam: quia filia regis est.
And [Ju] went in and ate and drank, and said, Look now, after this cursed woman, and bury her, for she is a king's daughter.
35 Cumque issent ut sepelirent eam, non invenerunt nisi calvariam, et pedes, et summas manus.
And they went to bury her; but they found nothing of her but the skull, and the feet, and the palms of her hands.
36 Reversique nunciaverunt ei. Et ait Iehu: Sermo Domini est, quem locutus est per servum suum Eliam Thesbiten, dicens: In agro Iezrahel comedent canes carnes Iezabel,
And they returned and told him. And he said, [It is] the word of the Lord, which he spoke by the hand of Eliu the Thesbite, saying, In the portion of Jezrael shall the dogs eat the flesh of Jezabel.
37 et erunt carnes Iezabel sicut stercus super faciem terræ in agro Iezrahel, ita ut prætereuntes dicant: Hæccine est illa Iezabel?
And the carcass of Jezabel shall be as dung on the face of the field in the portion of Jezrael, so that they shall not say, [This is] Jezabel.
