1Umprofethi u-Elisha wayesebiza omunye wabantwana babaprofethi, wathi kuye: “Bopha ukhalo lwakho, uthathe leli bhokisi lamafutha esandleni sakho, uye eRamoti kwaGileyadi.
2Lapho usufikile khona, bheka uJehu, indodana kaJehoshafati, indodana kaNimshi, ungene, umsukumise phakathi kwabafowabo, umngenise ekamelweni elingaphakathi;
3Uthathe umfuma wamafutha, uwathele ekhanda lakhe, uthi: ‘Usho kanje uJehova, uthi: Ngikugcobile ube yinkosi phezu kuka-Israyeli. Bese uvula umnyango ubaleke, futhi ungalibali.
4Khona-ke insizwa, insizwa engumprofethi, yaya eRamoti kwaGileyadi.
5Esefikile, izinduna zempi zazihlezi khona; wathi: Nginomyalo kuwe nduna! Wathi uJehu: “Kubani kithi sonke?” Wathi: Kuwe, O nduna!
6Wasesukuma wangena endlini; wathela amafutha ekhanda lakhe, wathi kuye: “Usho kanje uJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, uthi: Ngikugcobile ube yinkosi yabantu bakaJehova kwa-Israyeli.
7Kumelwe ubulale indlu yenkosi yakho u-Ahabi, ukuze ngiphindisele igazi lezinceku zami, abaprofethi, negazi lazo zonke izinceku zikaJehova esandleni sika-Izebeli.
8Ngokuba yonke indlu ka-Ahabi iyakubhubha, nginqume ku-Ahabi oshaya udonga, oboshiwe noshiywe kwa-Israyeli.
9Ngiyakwenza indlu ka-Ahabi ibe njengendlu kaJerobowamu indodana kaNebati nanjengendlu kaBahesa indodana ka-Ahiya;
10Izinja ziyomudla u-Izebeli endaweni yaseJizreyeli, futhi ngeke kube khona ozomngcwaba. Wavula umnyango wabaleka.
11UJehu wasephuma, waya ezincekwini zenkosi yakhe; Uhlanya lolu luze ngani kuwe? Wathi kubo: “Niyamazi lowo muntu nezwi lakhe.”
12Bathi: “Amanga; Sitshele manje: “Wakhuluma kimi ukuthi nokuthi, wathi: ‘Usho kanje uJehova, uthi: Ngikugcobile ube yinkosi kwa-Israyeli.
13Base beshesha, kwaba yilowo nalowo ingubo yakhe, bayibeka esiqongweni sezitebhisi phansi kwakhe, babetha amacilongo, bathi: “UJehu uyinkosi.”
14UJehu, indodana kaJehoshafati, indodana kaNimshi, wamenzela ugobe uJoramu. (UJoramu walilinda iRamoti kwaGileyadi, yena no-Israyeli wonke, ngenxa kaHazayeli inkosi yase-Aramu.
15Kodwa inkosi uJoramu yabuyela ukwelatshwa eJizereyeli emanxebeni ayo ama-Aramu ayeyilimaze ekulweni kwayo loHazayeli inkosi yeSiriya. Izwe aliphunyuki. Umuzi ukukumemezela eJizreyeli.
16UJehu wayesegibela inqola, waya eJizreyeli; ngoba uJoramu wayelele khona. U-Ahaziya inkosi yakwaJuda wehla ukuyobona uJoramu.
17Kwakumi umlindi embhoshongweni waseJizreyeli, wabuka isixuku sikaJehu esiza, wathi: “Ngibona isixuku.” Wayesethi uJoramu: “Thatha ingadi yehhashi, umthume ukubahlangabeza, athi: ‘Kusahleziwe kahle na?’
18Kwasekuhlangana laye umgadi wehhashi, wathi: Itsho njalo inkosi: Yikuthula yini? Wayesethi uJehu: “Unamsebenzi muni ngokuthula na? jikela emva kwami Umlindi wabika, wathi: “Isithunywa sifikile kubo, kepha asibuyi;
19Wayesethuma owehhashi wesibili, weza kubo, wathi: “Isho kanje inkosi, ithi: Kuthula na? UJehu wasesithi: Ulani lokuthula? jikela emva kwami.
20Umlindi wabika, wathi: “Ufikile kubo, akabuyanga; ngoba ushayela ngolaka.
21Wathi uJoramu: “Lungisa.” Inqola yakhe yalungiswa. UJehoramu inkosi yakwa-Israyeli no-Ahaziya inkosi yakwaJuda baphuma, kwaba yilowo nalowo enqoleni yakhe, baphuma ukuhlangabezana noJehu, bamfumana endaweni kaNaboti waseJizreyeli.
22UJoramu esembonile uJehu wathi: “Kusahleziwe kahle, Jehu na?” Wathi: “Kuthula kuni, lapho ubufebe bukanyoko u-Izebeli nobuthakathi bakhe busengaka na?”
23UJoramu waphendula izandla zakhe, wabaleka, wathi ku-Ahaziya: Kukhona ukuvukela umbuso Ahaziya!
24UJehu wayesensala umnsalo ngamandla akhe onke, wagwaza uJoramu phakathi kwamahlombe akhe, umcibisholo waphuma enhliziyweni yakhe, wawela enqoleni yakhe.
25UJehu wayesethi kuBidikari induna yakhe: “Mphakamise, umphonse esiqeshini sezwe likaNaboti waseJizreyeli;
26“Impela izolo ngibone igazi likaNaboti negazi lamadodana akhe,” usho uJehova; futhi ngizokubuyisela kule ndawo, kusho uJehova. Manje mthathe, umlahle emhlabathini oyisicaba, njengezwi likaJehova.
27U-Ahaziya inkosi yakwaJuda ekubona lokho wabalekela endlini yasensimini. UJehu wamlandela, wathi: “Mshayeni naye enqoleni.” Bakwenza lokhu emqaqeni oya eGuri eliseJibeleyamu. Wabalekela eMegido, wafela khona.
28Izinceku zakhe zamyisa eJerusalema ngenqola, zammbela ethuneni lakhe koyise emzini kaDavide.
29Ngomnyaka weshumi nanye kaJoramu indodana ka-Ahabi u-Ahaziya waba yinkosi kwaJuda.
30UJehu esefikile eJizreyeli, u-Izebeli wezwa; wapenda ubuso wakhathala walunguza ngefasitela.
31UJehu esengena esangweni, wathi: “Kunokuthula yini uZimri owabulala inkosi yakhe na?”
32Waphakamisela ubuso bakhe efasiteleni, wathi: “Ngubani ongakimi na?” I-WHO? Kwakukhona abathenwa ababili noma abathathu bembheka.
33Wathi: “Mphonseni phansi.” Amphonsa phansi, elinye igazi lakhe lafafazwa odongeni nasemahhashini, wamnyathela phansi.
34Esengenile, wadla, waphuza, wathi: “Hambani nibheke lo wesifazane oqalekisiweyo, nimngcwabe, ngokuba uyindodakazi yenkosi.”
35Bahamba bayomngcwaba, kodwa abatholanga lutho lwakhe ngaphandle kogebhezi lwekhanda nezinyawo nezintende zezandla.
36Basebebuya bamtshela. Wathi: “Nanti izwi likaJehova alikhuluma ngenkonzo yenceku yakhe u-Eliya waseThishibi, ethi: “Izinja ziyakuyidla inyama ka-Izebeli endaweni yaseJizreyeli.
37Isidumbu sika-Izebeli siyakuba njengomquba endle endaweni yaseJizreyeli; ukuze bangasho ukuthi: “Lo ngu-Izebeli.”
