Clementine Vulgate · Berean Standard Bible

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.

Now Elisha the prophet summoned one of the sons of the prophets and said to him, “Tuck your cloak , take this flask of oil, and go to Ramoth-gilead.

9:2

Cumque veneris illuc, videbis Jehu filium Josaphat filii Namsi : et ingressus suscitabis eum de medio fratrum suorum, et introduces in interius cubiculum.

When you arrive, look for Jehu son of Jehoshaphat, the son of Nimshi. Go in, get him away from his companions, and take him to an inner room.

9:3

Tenensque lenticulam olei, fundes super caput ejus, et dices : Hæc dicit Dominus : Unxi te regem super Israël. Aperiesque ostium, et fugies, et non ibi subsistes.

Then take the flask of oil, pour it on his head, and declare, ‘This is what the LORD says: I anoint you king over Israel.’ Then open the door and run. Do not delay!”

9:4

Abiit ergo adolescens puer prophetæ in Ramoth Galaad,

So the young prophet went to Ramoth-gilead,

9:5

et ingressus est illuc : ecce autem principes exercitus sedebant : et ait : Verbum mihi ad te, o princeps. Dixitque Jehu : Ad quem ex omnibus nobis ? At ille dixit : Ad te, o princeps.

and when he arrived, the army commanders were sitting there. “I have a message for you, commander,” he said. “For which of us?” asked Jehu. “For you, commander,” he replied.

9:6

Et surrexit, et ingressus est cubiculum : at ille fudit oleum super caput ejus, et ait : Hæc dicit Dominus Deus Israël : Unxi te regem super populum Domini Israël,

So Jehu got up and went into the house, where the young prophet poured the oil on his head and declared, “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘I anoint you king over the LORD’s people Israel.

9:7

et percuties domum Achab domini tui, et ulciscar sanguinem servorum meorum prophetarum, et sanguinem omnium servorum Domini de manu Jezabel.

And you are to strike down the house of your master Ahab, so that I may avenge the blood of My servants the prophets and the blood of all the servants of the LORD shed by the hand of Jezebel.

9:8

Perdamque omnem domum Achab : et interficiam de Achab mingentem ad parietem, et clausum et novissimum in Israël.

The whole house of Ahab will perish, and I will cut off from Ahab every male, both slave and free, in Israel.

9:9

Et dabo domum Achab sicut domum Jeroboam filii Nabat, et sicut domum Baasa filii Ahia.

I will make the house of Ahab like the houses of Jeroboam son of Nebat and Baasha son of Ahijah.

9:10

Jezabel quoque comedent canes in agro Jezrahel, nec erit qui sepeliat eam. Aperuitque ostium, et fugit.

And on the plot of ground at Jezreel the dogs will devour Jezebel, and there will be no one to bury her.’” Then the young prophet opened the door and ran.

9:11

Jehu autem egressus est ad servos domini sui : qui dixerunt ei : Rectene sunt omnia ? quid venit insanus iste ad te ? Qui ait eis : Nostis hominem, et quid locutus sit.

When Jehu went out to the servants of his master, they asked, “Is everything all right? Why did this madman come to you?” “You know his kind and their babble,” he replied.

9:12

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 Israël.

“That is a lie!” they said. “Tell us now!” So Jehu answered, “He talked to me about this and that, saying, ‘This is what the LORD says: I anoint you king over Israel.’”

9:13

Festinaverunt itaque, et unusquisque tollens pallium suum posuerunt sub pedibus ejus in similitudinem tribunalis, et cecinerunt tuba, atque dixerunt : Regnavit Jehu.

Quickly, each man took his garment and put it under Jehu on the bare steps. Then they blew the ram’s horn and proclaimed, “Jehu is king!”

9:14

Conjuravit ergo Jehu filius Josaphat filii Namsi contra Joram : porro Joram obsederat Ramoth Galaad, ipse et omnis Israël contra Hazaël regem Syriæ :

Thus Jehu son of Jehoshaphat, the son of Nimshi, conspired against Joram. (Now Joram and all Israel had been defending Ramoth-gilead against Hazael king of Aram,

9:15

et reversus fuerat ut curaretur in Jezrahel propter vulnera, quia percusserant eum Syri præliantem contra Hazaël regem Syriæ. Dixitque Jehu : Si placet vobis, nemo egrediatur profugus de civitate, ne vadat, et nuntiet in Jezrahel.

but King had returned to Jezreel to recover from the wounds he had suffered at the hands of the Arameans in the battle against Hazael their king.) So Jehu said, “If you commanders wish to make me king, then do not let anyone escape from the city to go and tell it in Jezreel.”

9:16

Et ascendit, et profectus est in Jezrahel : Joram enim ægrotabat ibi, et Ochozias rex Juda descenderat ad visitandum Joram.

Then Jehu got into his chariot and went to Jezreel, because Joram was laid up there. And Ahaziah king of Judah had gone down to see him.

9:17

Igitur speculator qui stabat super turrim Jezrahel, vidit globum Jehu venientis, et ait : Video ego globum. Dixitque Joram : Tolle currum, et mitte in occursum eorum, et dicat vadens : Rectene sunt omnia ?

Now the watchman standing on the tower in Jezreel saw Jehu’s troops approaching, and he called out, “I see a company of troops!” “Choose a rider,” Joram commanded. “Send him out to meet them and ask, ‘Have you come in peace?’”

9:18

Abiit ergo qui ascenderat currum, in occursum ejus, et ait : Hæc dicit rex : Pacatane sunt omnia ? Dixitque Jehu : Quid tibi et paci ? transi, et sequere me. Nuntiavit quoque speculator, dicens : Venit nuntius ad eos, et non revertitur.

So a horseman rode off to meet Jehu and said, “This is what the king asks: ‘Have you come in peace?’” “What do you know about peace?” Jehu replied. “Fall in behind me.” And the watchman reported, “The messenger reached them, but he is not coming back.”

9:19

Misit etiam currum equorum secundum : venitque ad eos, et ait : Hæc dicit rex : Numquid pax est ? Et ait Jehu : Quid tibi et paci ? transi, et sequere me.

So the king sent out a second horseman, who went to them and said, “This is what the king asks: ‘Have you come in peace?’” “What do you know about peace?” Jehu replied. “Fall in behind me.”

9:20

Nuntiavit autem speculator, dicens : Venit usque ad eos, et non revertitur : est autem incessus quasi incessus Jehu filii Namsi, præceps enim graditur.

Again the watchman reported, “He reached them, but he is not coming back. And the charioteer is driving like Jehu son —he is driving like a madman!”

9:21

Et ait Joram : Junge currum. Junxeruntque currum ejus, et egressus est Joram rex Israël, et Ochozias rex Juda, singuli in curribus suis, egressique sunt in occursum Jehu, et invenerunt eum in agro Naboth Jezrahelitæ.

“Harness!” Joram shouted, and they harnessed his chariot. Then Joram king of Israel and Ahaziah king of Judah set out, each in his own chariot, and met Jehu on the property of Naboth the Jezreelite.

9:22

Cumque vidisset Joram Jehu, dixit : Pax est, Jehu ? At ille respondit : Quæ pax ? adhuc fornicationes Jezabel matris tuæ, et veneficia ejus multa, vigent.

When Joram saw Jehu, he asked, “Have you come in peace, Jehu?” “How can there be peace,” he replied, “as long as and witchcraft of your mother Jezebel abound?”

9:23

Convertit autem Joram manum suam, et fugiens ait ad Ochoziam : Insidiæ, Ochozia.

Joram and fled, calling out to Ahaziah, “Treachery, Ahaziah!”

9:24

Porro Jehu tetendit arcum manu, et percussit Joram inter scapulas : et egressa est sagitta per cor ejus, statimque corruit in curru suo.

Then Jehu drew his bow and shot Joram between the shoulders. The arrow pierced his heart, and he slumped down in his chariot.

9:25

Dixitque Jehu ad Badacer ducem : Tolle, projice eum in agro Naboth Jezrahelitæ : memini enim quando ego et tu sedentes in curru sequebamur Achab patrem hujus, quod Dominus onus hoc levaverit super eum, dicens :

And Jehu said to Bidkar his officer, “Pick him up and throw him into the field of Naboth the Jezreelite. For remember that when you and I were riding together behind his father Ahab, the LORD lifted up this burden against him:

9:26

Si non pro sanguine Naboth, et pro sanguine filiorum ejus, quem vidi heri, ait Dominus, reddam tibi in agro isto, dicit Dominus. Nunc ergo tolle, et projice eum in agrum juxta verbum Domini.

‘As surely as I saw the blood of Naboth and the blood of his sons yesterday, declares the LORD, so will I repay you on this plot of ground, declares the LORD.’ Now then, according to the word of the LORD, pick him up and throw him on the plot of ground.”

9:27

Ochozias autem rex Juda videns hoc, fugit per viam domus horti : persecutusque est eum Jehu, et ait : Etiam hunc percutite in curru suo. Et percusserunt eum in ascensu Gaver, qui est juxta Jeblaam : qui fugit in Mageddo, et mortuus est ibi.

When King Ahaziah of Judah saw this, he fled up the road toward Beth-haggan. And Jehu pursued him, shouting, “Shoot him too!” So they shot Ahaziah in his chariot on the Ascent , near Ibleam, and he fled to Megiddo and died there.

9:28

Et imposuerunt eum servi ejus super currum suum, et tulerunt in Jerusalem : sepelieruntque eum in sepulchro cum patribus suis in civitate David.

Then his servants carried him by chariot to Jerusalem and buried him with his fathers in his tomb in the City of David.

9:29

Anno undecimo Joram filii Achab, regnavit Ochozias super Judam,

(In the eleventh year of Joram son of Ahab, Ahaziah had become king over Judah.)

9:30

venitque Jehu in Jezrahel. Porro Jezabel, introitu ejus audito, depinxit oculos suos stibio, et ornavit caput suum, et respexit per fenestram

Now when Jehu arrived in Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it. So she painted her eyes, adorned her head, and looked down from a window.

9:31

ingredientem Jehu per portam, et ait : Numquid pax potest esse Zambri, qui interfecit dominum suum ?

And as Jehu entered the gate, she asked, “Have you come in peace, O Zimri, murderer ?”

9:32

Levavitque Jehu faciem suam ad fenestram, et ait : Quæ est ista ? et inclinaverunt se ad eum duo vel tres eunuchi.

He looked up at the window and called out, “Who is on my side? Who?” And two or three eunuchs looked down at him.

9:33

At ille dixit eis : Præcipitate eam deorsum : et præcipitaverunt eam, aspersusque est sanguine paries, et equorum ungulæ conculcaverunt eam.

“Throw her down!” yelled Jehu. So they threw her down, and her blood splattered on the wall and on the horses as they trampled her underfoot.

9:34

Cumque introgressus esset ut comederet biberetque, ait : Ite, et videte maledictam illam, et sepelite eam : quia filia regis est.

Then Jehu went in and ate and drank. “Take care of this cursed woman,” he said, “and bury her, for she was the daughter of a king.”

9:35

Cumque issent ut sepelirent eam, non invenerunt nisi calvariam, et pedes, et summas manus.

But when they went out to bury her, they found nothing but her skull, her feet, and the palms of her hands.

9:36

Reversique nuntiaverunt ei. Et ait Jehu : Sermo Domini est, quem locutus est per servum suum Eliam Thesbiten, dicens : In agro Jezrahel comedent canes carnes Jezabel,

So they went back and told Jehu, who replied, “This is the word of the LORD, which He spoke through His servant Elijah the Tishbite: ‘On the plot of ground at Jezreel the dogs will devour the flesh of Jezebel.

9:37

et erunt carnes Jezabel sicut stercus super faciem terræ in agro Jezrahel, ita ut prætereuntes dicant : Hæccine est illa Jezabel ?

And Jezebel’s body will lie like dung in the field on the plot of ground at Jezreel, so that no one can say: This .’”
