2 Hina 10
1 Musa: Isala: ili hina bagade A: iha: be egaga fi misi dunu 70 agoane da Samelia ganodini esalebe ba: i. Yihiu da meloa dedene, amaiwane amo defele eno mogili hahamone, Samelia asigilai dunu amola moilai ouligisu dunu amola A: iha: be egaga fi misi dunu ilia ouligisu dunu, amo huluanema iasi. E dedei da amane dedei,
There were seventy descendants of King Ahab who were living there in Samaria. Jehu wrote a letter [and made copies of it] and sent them to the rulers of the city, to the elders, and to those who raised and tutored Ahab’s children.
2 “Dilia da hina bagade A: iha: be egaga fifi misi dunu amo ouligisa. Dilia da ‘sa: liode’ amola hosi amola gegesu liligi gagui gala. Amaiba: le, amo meloa dedei da dilima doaga: sea,
[This is what he wrote]: “You are the ones who are [taking care of] the king’s descendants. You have chariots and horses and weapons, and you live in cities that have walls around them. So as soon as you receive this letter,
3 dilia hedolowane baligili dawa: su hina bagade egaga fi dunu afae, dilia hina bagade hamoma: ne ilegema. Amasea, e gaga: ma: ne, ninima gegema!”
choose one of the king’s sons, the one who is the best qualified, and appoint him to be your king. Then [prepare to] fight to defend him.”
4 Samelia ouligisu dunu da bagadewane beda: gia: i. Ilia da amane sia: i, “Ninia da habodane Yihuma ha lale, gegema: bela: ? Hina bagade Youla: me amola hina bagade A: ihasaia da e hasalasimu hamedei ba: i.”
But [when they got those letters from Jehu and read them], they became very afraid. They said, “King Joram and King Ahaziah could not resist him; (how can we resist him?/we cannot possibly resist him!)” [RHQ]
5 Amaiba: le, hina bagade diasu ouligisu dunu amola moilai ouligisu dunu amola asigilai dunu amola A: iha: be egaga fi dunu ilia ouligisu dunu, ilia da Yihuma amane sia: si, “Ninia da dia hawa: hamosu dunu esala. Ninia da dia sia: be liligi defele hamomusa: momagele esala. Be ninia da hina bagade hame ilegemu. Dia adi hou da noga: i di dawa: sea, amo hamoma!”
So the officer who was in charge of the palace and the mayor of the city sent a message to Jehu saying, “We want to serve you, and we are ready to do whatever you tell us to do. We will not appoint anyone to become our king. You do whatever you think is best.”
6 Yihiu da ilima meloa eno dedene iasi, “Dilia da namagai galea, amola na hamoma: ne sia: i amo hamomusa: momagele esalea, hina bagade A: iha: be egaga fi dunu huluane ilia dialuma amo aya wewaba, Yeseliele moilai bai bagadega nama gaguli misa: !” (Samelia asigilai dunu, ilia da hina bagade A: iha: be egaga fifi misi dunu ouligisu. Asigilai dunu da ili bugili ianu.)
So Jehu sent a second letter to them, writing this: “If you (are on my side/want to help me), and if you are ready to obey me, [kill] King Ahab’s descendants [and cut off their heads and] bring their heads to me here in Jezreel at this time tomorrow.” The seventy descendants of King Ahab were being brought up and supervised by the leaders of [Samaria] city.
7 Yihiu ea meloa dedei da ilima doaga: loba, Samelia moilai bai bagade ouligisu dunu, ilia da A: iha: be egaga fi dunu 70 agoane huluane medole lelegele, ilia dialuma damuni fasili, daba ganodini salawene, Yeseliele moilai bai bagadega Yihuma iasi.
When they received the letter from Jehu, they killed all seventy of Ahab’s descendants and [cut off their heads]. They put their heads in baskets and sent them to Jehu at Jezreel.
8 Ilia da Yihuma, A:iha: be egaga fi dunu ilia dialuma da gaguli misi dagoi adobeba: le, e da amo dialuma gasa huluane mogili aduna ligiagale moilai gagoi logo holei gadenene ligisi, dialeawane hahabe hadigima: ne sia: i.
A messenger came to Jehu and told him, “They have brought the heads of Ahab’s descendants.” So Jehu commanded that the heads should be put in two piles at the city gate and that the heads should stay there until the next morning.
9 Golale hahabe, e da logo holeiga asili, amoga gilisi dunu ilima amane sia: i, “Ni fawane da hina bagade medole legema: ne wamo ilegele, amola e dafawane medole legei. Dilia hame! Be amo dunu amo nowa da medole legebela: ?
The next morning he went out [to the city gate] and said to all the people, “I am the one who plotted against King Joram and killed him. You are not guilty of doing that. But [it was Yahweh, not I] [RHQ] who [commanded that] all these [descendants of Ahab should be] killed.
10 Hina Gode da Ea balofede dunu Ilaisiamadili, hou huluane amo da A: iha: be egaga fima misunu hou, olelei dagoi. Amola ilia huluane da medole legeiba: le, amo hou da dafawane doaga: i dagoi dawa: ma!”
So you need to know that everything that Yahweh said would happen has happened. He has caused to happen what he told the prophet Elijah would happen.”
11 Amalalu, Yihiu da A: iha: be egaga sosogo fi huluane Yeseliele ganodini esala, amola ea eagene ouligisu dunu amola ea dogolegei amola ea gobele salasu dunu, ili huluanedafa, ea medole legei. Dunu afae esalebe da hamedafa ba: i.
Then Jehu executed all the other relatives of Ahab in Jezreel, and all Ahab’s officers, and close friends, and his priests. He did not allow any of them to remain alive.
12 Yihiu da Yeseliele fisili, Samelia amoma doaga: musa: asi. Logoga ahoanoba, e da sogebi ea dio amo “Sibi Ouligisu Fisisu” amoga,
Then Jehu left [Jezreel] and went toward Samaria. While he was going there, at a place called ‘Shepherds’ Camp’,
13 e da hina bagade A: ihasaia bogoi, amo ea sosogo fi oda ba: i. E da ilima amane adole ba: i, “Dili da nowala: ?” Ilia da bu adole i, “Nini da A: ihasaia ea sosogo fi dunu. Ninia da hina bagade uda Yesebele ea manolali amola hina bagade sosogo fi eno Yeselielega esala, ilima asigi sia: saimusa: masunu.”
he met some relatives of King Ahaziah of Judah. He asked them, “Who are you?” They replied, “We are relatives of King Ahaziah. We are going to Jezreel to visit the children of Queen Jezebel and the other members of King [Joram’s] family.”
14 Yihiu da ea dunuma amane hamoma: ne sia: i, “Ili mae medole, gagulaligima!” Ilia da ili huluane gagulaligili, Yihiu da uli dogoi amogai dialu, amo gadenene ili huluane medole legei. Ilia idi da 42 agoane, amola dunu afae esalebe hame ba: i.
Jehu said to his men, “Seize them!” So they seized them and killed all of them at the pit named Beth-Eked. There were 42 people whom they killed; they did not allow any of them to remain alive.
15 Yihiu da bu logoga ahoanoba, Yonada: be (Liga: be egefe) yosia: i. Yihiu da ema hahawane sia: ne, amane sia: i, “Ania asigi dawa: su da defele diala. Di da na fuli gala: ma: bela: ?” Yonada: be da bu adole i, “Ma! Na da dimagai dialumu!” Yihiu da bu adole i, “Defea! Amaiba: le, gousa: la: di!” Ela da gousa: lu, Yihiu da Yonada: be ‘sa: liode’ da: iya fila heda: ma: ne, lobolele gadoi.
Then Jehu [continued to travel toward Samaria]. Along the road, he was met by Jonadab, a leader of the Rechab clan. Jehu greeted him and said to him, “Are you as devoted to me [IDM] as I am devoted to you?” Jonadab replied, “Yes, I am.” Jehu said, “If you are, shake hands with me.” So Jonadab shook hands with him, and Jehu helped him to get into his chariot.
16 Yihiu da amane sia: i, “Ani ahoa: di! Di da na Hina Godema fawane fa: no bobogesu hou ba: mu!” Elea da ‘sa: liode’ da: iya fila heda: le, Samelia moilai bai bagadega doaga: le,
Jehu said to him, “Come with me, and you will see that I am very devoted to Yahweh.” So they rode together to Samaria.
17 Yihiu da A: iha: be ea sosogo huluanedafa medole legei. E da dunu afae esaloma: ne hame yolesi. Amo hou Hina Gode da Ilaisiama olelei, amo defele doaga: i dagoi ba: i.
When they arrived in Samaria, Jehu killed all of Ahab’s relatives who were still alive. He did not (spare any of them/allow any of them to remain alive). That was what Yahweh told Elijah would happen.
18 Yihiu da Samelia fi dunu huluane gilisima: ne sia: ne, ilima amane sia: i, “Hina bagade A: iha: be da Ba: ilema fonobahadi hawa: hamonanu. Be na da Ba: ilema asigiba: le, baligiliwane ema hawa: hamomu.
Then Jehu summoned all the people [of Samaria], and said to them, “King Ahab was devoted to [your god] Baal a little bit, but I will serve him much more.
19 Dilia Ba: ile ea balofede dunu amola ema nodone sia: ne gadosu dunu amola ea gobele salasu dunu huluanedafa guiguda: gilisima: ne sia: ma. Afae mae yolesima. Na da Ba: ilema gobele salasu bagadedafa hamomu. Amola nowa da hame masea, ninia da amo dunu medole legemu.” (Yihiu da ogogoi. E da Ba: ilema nodone sia: ne gadosu dunu huluane medole legemusa: ilegeiba: le, ili gilisima: ne sia: i)
So now summon all the prophets of Baal, all of Baal’s priests, and all the others who worship Baal. I am going to make a great sacrifice to Baal. I want all of them to be there. Any of them who is not there will be executed.” But Jehu was planning to trick them; he was planning to kill all those who worshiped Baal.
20 Amalalu, Yihiu da amane hamoma: ne sia: i, “Ba: ilema nodoma: ne, nodone sia: ne gadomusa: eso bagadedafa ilegema!” Ilia da amo eso ilegei.
Then Jehu commanded, “Announce that we are going to set aside a day to honor Baal.” So they did that.
21 Amalu, Yihiu da Isala: ili soge huluane ganodini dunu huluane da amo nodone sia: ne gadosu amoga misa: ne sia: si. Ba: ilema nodone sia: ne gadosu dunu huluanedafa da misi. Ilia huluane da Ba: ile ea debolo diasu ganodini golili sa: ili, debolo diasu da nabaidafa ba: i.
Jehu [decided what day they would gather and] sent messages throughout Israel [telling everyone what day to gather on], and on that day, everyone who worshiped Baal came. No one stayed at home. They all went into the huge temple of Baal and filled it from one end to the other.
22 Amalalu, Yihiu da Ba: ile gobele salasu dunu amo da sema abula ouligi, amo sema abula lale, nodone sia: ne gadosu dunu iligili ima: ne sia: i.
Jehu told the priest who took care of the sacred robes to bring them out and give them to the people who worshiped Baal. So the priest did that.
23 Amalalu, Yihiu hisu da Yonada: be (Liga: be egefe) oule, debolo diasu ganodini golili sa: ili, dunu amo ganodini gilisi dialu ilima amane sia: i, “Gilisisu ganodini hogoma! Ba: ilema nodone sia: ne gadosu dunu fawane esaloma: ne sia: ma. Hina Godema nodone sia: ne gadosu dunu da goegai mae esaloma: ne sia: ma.”
Then Jehu went into the temple of Baal with Jonadab, and he said to the people who were there to worship Baal, “Be sure that only those who worship Baal are here. Be sure that no one who worships Yahweh has come in.”
24 Amalalu, e amola Yonada: be da Ba: ilema gobele salimusa: golili sa: i. E da musa: dunu 80 agoane debolo gadili hamega leloma: ne ilegele, ilima amane sia: i, “Dilia amo dunu huluane fane legema. Nowa da dunu afae esaloma: ne yolesisia, e da dabele, medole legei dagoi ba: mu!”
Then he and Jonadab prepared to offer sacrifices and other offerings to Baal that would be completely burned [on the altar that was there in Samaria]. But Jehu had stationed eighty of his men outside the temple, and had said to them, “I want you to kill all the people [who are in the temple]. Anyone who allows one of them to escape will be executed!”
25 Yihiu da gobele salasu liligi ianu, sosodo aligisu dunu amola dadi gagui wa: i ouligisu dunu ilima amane sia: i, “Ganodini golili sa: ili, dunu huluanedafa medole legema! Afae da maedafa hobeama: ma!” Ilia da gegesu gobihei duga: le gadole, ganodini golili sa: ili, Ba: ilema nodone sia: ne gadosu dunu huluanedafa medole lelegele, ilia da: i hodo moiya gadili hiougili sasali.
As soon as Jehu [and Jonadab] had finished killing the animals that would be completely burned to be an offering to Baal, they [went outside and] said to the guards and officers, “Go in and kill all of them! Do not allow any of them to escape!” So the guards and officers went in and killed them all with their swords. Then they dragged their corpses outside the temple. Then they went into the inner room of the temple,
26 Ilia da duni bugi ifa (amo da sema galu) amogai diala, amo gadili gaguli asili, laluga ulagili sali.
and they carried out the sacred pillar of Baal that was there, and they burned it.
27 Ilia da amaiwane sema ifa duni bugi amola debolo diasu amo wadela: lesi. Ilia da debolo ea hou afadenene bu iga giasu diasu hamoi. Amola amo da wali amaiwane diala. (Amo da eso dedei amoga amaiwane diala)
So they destroyed that pillar that honored Baal, and then they burned down the temple, and made it a public toilet. And it is still a toilet!
28 Yihiu da amanewane Isala: ili soge ganodini, Ba: ilema nodone sia: ne gadosu hou gugunufinisi dagoi.
That is how Jehu got rid of the worship of Baal in Israel.
29 Be e da hina bagade Yelouboua: me (amo da gouliga hamoi bulamagau gawali mano aduna Bedele moilai amola Da: ne moilai ligisiba: le, Isala: ili dunu fi wadela: le hamoma: ne oule asi) Yihiu da ea hou defele hamoi.
But Jehu did not quit committing the kinds of sins that Jeroboam had committed, sins that led the people of Israel to sin by worshiping the gold [statues of] calves in Bethel and Dan [cities].
30 Hina Gode da Yihuma amane sia: i, “Di da Na hamoma: ne hanai huluane A: iha: be egaga fima hamoi dagoi. Amaiba: le, Na da dima dafawane ilegele sia: sa. Digaga fifi misi biyadu amo, ilia da Isala: ili hina bagade hamomu.”
Then Yahweh said to Jehu, “You have done what pleased me by getting rid of all of Ahab’s descendants. So I promise you that your son and grandson and great-grandson and great-great-grandson will all be kings of Israel.”
31 Be Yihiu da dafawanedafa nabasu hou hame hamoi. E da Isala: ili Hina Gode Ea Sema amo noga: le hame hamoi. Be amomane e da Yelouboua: me (amo da Isala: ili fi dunu wadela: le hamoma: ne, oule asi) amo ea hou defele hamoi.
But Jehu did not obey all the laws of Yahweh, the God of the Israeli people. He did not stop committing the sins that Jeroboam had committed, sins that led the Israeli people to sin.
32 Amogalu Hina Gode da muni Isala: ili soge fonoboma: ne hamoi. Silia hina bagade Ha: sa: iele da Isala: ili soge amo da Yodane Hano gusudili diala, ga (south) asili, Aloua moilai (Anone Hano bega: diala) amo huluane hasali. Amo soge ganodini, Gilia: de amola Ba: isia: ne soge dialebe ba: i. Amola amo ganodini, Ga: de fi amola Liubene fi amola Gusu Ma: na: se fi, ilia da amo soge ganodini esalebe ba: i.
At that time, Yahweh began to cause the territory controlled by Israel to become smaller. [The army of] King Hazael [of Syria] conquered much of the Israeli territory.
He conquered the parts east of the Jordan [River], as far south as Aroer [town] on the Arnon [River]. That included [the] Gilead and Bashan [regions], where the tribes of Gad, Reuben, and half of the tribe of Manasseh lived.
34 Yihiu ea hou eno huluane, amola ea nimi gesa: i hou da “Isala: ili hina bagade Ilia Hamonanu Meloa” amo ganodini dedene legei.
[If you want to read more] about all the other things that Jehu did [RHQ], they are written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
35 Yihiu da bogole, Samelia moilai bai bagadega uli dogone sali. Egefe Yihouaha: se, da e bagia Isala: ili hina bagade hamoi.
Jehu died [EUP], and was buried in Samaria. His son Jehoahaz became the king in place of his father.
36 Yihiu da Samelia moilai bai bagadega esala, ode 28 agoanega Isala: ili fi ouligilalu.
Jehu had ruled in Samaria as the king of Israel for twenty-eight years.
