2 Manghai 10

1 Ahab ca rhoek he Samaria ah sawmrhih om. Te dongah Jehu loh ca a daek tih Samaria la a pat. Jezreel kah mangpa a ham rhoek neh Ahab aka tangnah rhoek taengah,

Now Ahab had seventy sons in Samaria. And Jehu wrote letters, and sent to Samaria, unto the rulers of Jezreel, even the elders, and unto them that brought up [the sons of] Ahab, saying,

2 Tahae ah he kah ca loh nangmih taeng neh nangmih taengkah na boei ca rhoek taengah ha pawk vanbangla nangmih taengah leng neh marhang, khopuei hmuencak neh lungpok haica khaw om lah ko.

And now as soon as this letter cometh to you, seeing your master’s sons are with you, and there are with you chariots and horses, a fortified city also, and armor;

3 Na boei ca rhoek khui lamloh a thuem neh a then te hmu uh laeh. A napa kah ngolkhoel dongah ngol sak uh lamtah na boei rhoek imkhui ham vathoh uh,” a ti nah.

look ye out the best and meetest of your master’s sons, and set him on his father’s throne, and fight for your master’s house.

4 Tedae bahoeng, bahoeng a rhih uh dongah, “Manghai rhoi pataeng a mikhmuh ah a pai ngoeng pawt vaengah mamih metlae m'pai eh he,” a ti uh.

But they were exceedingly afraid, and said, Behold, the two kings stood not before him: how then shall we stand?

5 Te dongah im hman kah neh khopuei kah khaw, a hamca rhoek neh a tangnah rhoek te Jehu taengla a tueih tih, “Kaimih he namah kah sal rhoek ni. Te dongah kaimih taengah na thui bangla boeih ka ngai uh ni. Hlang pakhat khaw ka manghai sak uh pawt dongah na mik ah then na ti bangla saii,” a ti na uh.

And he that was over the household, and he that was over the city, the elders also, and they that brought up [the children], sent to Jehu, saying, We are thy servants, and will do all that thou shalt bid us; we will not make any man king: do thou that which is good in thine eyes.

6 Te dongah amih ham a pabae la ca a daek pah tih, “Kai taengah na om uh tih kai ol te na ngai uh atah na boei ca rhoek kah hlang lu te hang khuen uh. Thangvuen tahae tue ah tah Jezreel ah kai taengla ha pawk uh,” a ti nah. Te vaengah amih manghai ca rhoek hlang sawmrhih tah khopuei kah hlang len rhoek taengah pantai uh.

Then he wrote a letter the second time to them, saying, If ye be on my side, and if ye will hearken unto my voice, take ye the heads of the men your master’s sons, and come to me to Jezreel by to-morrow this time. Now the king’s sons, being seventy persons, were with the great men of the city, who brought them up.

7 Ca te amih taengla a pha van neh manghai ca rhoek te a tuuk uh tih hlang sawmrhih a ngawn uh. A lu te vaihang dongah a sang uh tih Jehu taengah Jezreel la a pat uh.

And it came to pass, when the letter came to them, that they took the king’s sons, and slew them, even seventy persons, and put their heads in baskets, and sent them unto him to Jezreel.

8 Puencawn a pawk vaengah tah a taengla a puen pah tih, “Manghai ca rhoek kah lu te hang khuen uh coeng,” a ti nah. Te dongah, “Te rhoek te vongka kah thohka ah mincang hil hlop nit la hmoek uh,” a ti nah.

And there came a messenger, and told him, saying, They have brought the heads of the king’s sons. And he said, Lay ye them in two heaps at the entrance of the gate until the morning.

9 Te dongah mincang a pha neh a paan tih a pai thil. Te phoeiah, “Pilnam cungkuem ham na dueng coeng, kai tah ka boei te ka taeng tih amah ka ngawn coeng he, tedae he rhoek boeih he unim aka ngawn?

And it came to pass in the morning, that he went out, and stood, and said to all the people, Ye are righteous: behold, I conspired against my master, and slew him; but who smote all these?

10 BOEIPA loh Ahab imkhui ham a thui vanbangla BOEIPA ol tah diklai la a rhul pawt te ming uh laeh. BOEIPA loh a sal Elijah kut dongah a thui te a saii coeng,” a ti.

Know now that there shall fall unto the earth nothing of the word of Jehovah, which Jehovah spake concerning the house of Ahab: for Jehovah hath done that which he spake by his servant Elijah.

11 Jezreel kah Ahab im ah aka sueng boeih neh a tanglue boeih, anih aka ming neh a khosoih rhoek khaw a taengah rhaengnaeng a hlun pawt hil ah Jehu loh a ngawn.

So Jehu smote all that remained of the house of Ahab in Jezreel, and all his great men, and his familiar friends, and his priests, until he left him none remaining.

12 Te phoeiah thoo tih Samaria la aka paan Betheked longpuei ah cet.

And he arose and departed, and went to Samaria. And as he was at the shearing-house of the shepherds in the way,

13 Jehu te Judah manghai Ahaziah kah pacaboeina neh a hum vaengah tah, “Nangmih he unim,” a ti nah. Te vaengah, “Kaimih he Ahaziah kah pacaboeina rhoek ni, manghai ca rhoek neh manghainu koca rhoek taengah rhoepnah ham ka suntla,” a ti uh.

Jehu met with the brethren of Ahaziah king of Judah, and said, Who are ye? And they answered, We are the brethren of Ahaziah: and we go down to salute the children of the king and the children of the queen.

14 Tedae, “Amih te a hing la tu uh,” a ti nah dongah amih te a hing la a tuuk uh. Te phoeiah amih te hlang sawmli panit la Betheked tuito ah a ngawn uh tih amih te hlang pakhat klhaw sueng pawh.

And he said, Take them alive. And they took them alive, and slew them at the pit of the shearing-house, even two and forty men; neither left he any of them.

15 Te lamloh a nong van neh anih aka doe Rekhab capa Jehonadab te a hmuh. Te vaengah anih te a uem tih, “Ka thinko he na thinko soah a voelphoeng bangla na thinko te a thuem la om maco,” a ti nah. Jehonadab loh, “Om,” a ti nah. Te phoeiah, “A om atah na kut te n'doe,” a ti nah. Te dongah a kut te a doe tih anih te leng dongah a luei sak.

And when he was departed thence, he lighted on Jehonadab the son of Rechab coming to meet him; and he saluted him, and said to him, Is thy heart right, as my heart is with thy heart? And Jehonadab answered, It is. If it be, give me thy hand. And he gave him his hand; and he took him up to him into the chariot.

16 Te phoeiah, “Kai taengah pongpa lamtah BOEIPA ham ka thatlainah he hmu lah,” a ti nah dongah anih te a leng dongah a ngol sak.

And he said, Come with me, and see my zeal for Jehovah. So they made him ride in his chariot.

17 Samaria a pha van neh Ahab lamkah aka sueng boeih te a ngawn. Elijah taengah a thui BOEIPA ol bangla Ahab te a milh hil Samaria ah a saii.

And when he came to Samaria, he smote all that remained unto Ahab in Samaria, till he had destroyed him, according to the word of Jehovah, which he spake to Elijah.

18 Jehu loh pilnam pum te a coi tih amih taengah, “Ahab loh Baal taengah bet tho a thueng dae Jehu loh anah la tho a thueng ni.

And Jehu gathered all the people together, and said unto them, Ahab served Baal a little; but Jehu will serve him much.

19 Te dongah Baal kah tonghma boeih neh a taengah tho aka thueng boeih, a khosoih boeih khaw kai taengla khue uh laeh, hlang hmaai boeh. Baal hamla hmueih len ka khueh dongah a hmaai boeih te tah hing mahpawh,” a ti nah. Tedae Baal kah thothueng rhoek te milh sak ham ni Jehu loh rhaithinah neh a saii.

Now therefore call unto me all the prophets of Baal, all his worshippers, and all his priests; let none be wanting: for I have a great sacrifice [to do] to Baal; whosoever shall be wanting, he shall not live. But Jehu did it in subtlety, to the intent that he might destroy the worshippers of Baal.

20 Jehu loh, “Baal hamla pahong khohnin hoep uh,” a ti nah dongah a hoe pauh.

And Jehu said, Sanctify a solemn assembly for Baal. And they proclaimed it.

21 Jehu loh Israel pum te a tah dongah Baal kah thothueng rhoek tah boeih pawk uh. Aka pawk pawt hlang te a hmaai uh pawt dongah Baal im la kun uh tih Baal im ah khatben lamloh khatben hil bae uh.

And Jehu sent through all Israel: and all the worshippers of Baal came, so that there was not a man left that came not. And they came into the house of Baal; and the house of Baal was filled from one end to another.

22 Hnikhoem te khaw, “Baal kah thothueng rhoek boeih ham pueinak hang khuen pah,” a ti nah dongah amih ham te hnicu a khuen pah.

And he said unto him that was over the vestry, Bring forth vestments for all the worshippers of Baal. And he brought them forth vestments.

23 Te phoeiah Jehu neh Rekhab capa Jehonadab te Baal im la cet. Te vaengah Baal thothueng rhoek te, “Thuep uh lamtah so uh dae, nangmih taengah he Yahweh kah sal rhoek om ve “a ti nah. Tedae amamih bueng te Baal kah thothueng la dawk a thuiuh.

And Jehu went, and Jehonadab the son of Rechab, into the house of Baal; and he said unto the worshippers of Baal, Search, and look that there be here with you none of the servants of Jehovah, but the worshippers of Baal only.

24 Hmueih neh hmueihhlutnah saii ham a khun phoeiah tah Jehu loh amah kah hlang sawmrhet te tol ah a khueh tih, “Nangmih kut ah kan tloeng hlang rhoek he pakhat khaw aka hlong tah a hinglu ham a hinglu ne,” a ti nah.

And they went in to offer sacrifices and burnt-offerings. Now Jehu had appointed him fourscore men without, and said, If any of the men whom I bring into your hands escape, [he that letteth him go], his life shall be for the life of him.

25 Hmueihhlutnah a saii te a khah van neh Jehu loh imtawt rhoek neh boeilu rhalboei taengah, “Kun uh lamtah amih te ngawn uh, hlang pakhat khaw loeih boel saeh,” a ti nah. Amih te cunghang ha neh a ngawn uh tih a voeih uh phoeiah tah imtawt rhoek neh rhalboei rhoek khaw Baal im khopuei la kun uh.

And it came to pass, as soon as he had made an end of offering the burnt-offering, that Jehu said to the guard and to the captains, Go in, and slay them; let none come forth. And they smote them with the edge of the sword; and the guard and the captains cast them out, and went to the city of the house of Baal.

26 Baal im kah kaam te a khuen uh tih a hoeh uh.

And they brought forth the pillars that were in the house of Baal, and burned them.

27 Baal kah kaam te a palet uh tih Baal im khaw a palet uh. Te dongah tihnin hil te te nat kah nat la a khueh uh.

And they brake down the pillar of Baal, and brake down the house of Baal, and made it a draught-house, unto this day.

28 Jehu loh Baal te Israel khui lamkah a milh sak.

Thus Jehu destroyed Baal out of Israel.

29 Te cakhaw Israel aka tholh sak Nebat capa Jeroboam kah tholhnah bangla Bethel neh Dan kah sui vaitoca hnuk lamloh Jehu a nong moenih.

Howbeit from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, wherewith he made Israel to sin, Jehu departed not from after them, [to wit], the golden calves that were in Beth-el, and that were in Dan.

30 BOEIPA loh Jehu te, “Ka mikhmuh ah a thuem te saii hamla na umya coeng, ka thinko khuikah aka om boeih te Ahab imkhui ah na saii coeng. Nang lamloh khong li na ca rhoek te Israel ngolkhoel dongah ngol uh ni,” a ti nah.

And Jehovah said unto Jehu, Because thou hast done well in executing that which is right in mine eyes, [and] hast done unto the house of Ahab according to all that was in my heart, thy sons of the fourth generation shall sit on the throne of Israel.

31 Tedae Jehu loh Israel Pathen BOEIPA kah olkhueng dongah a thinko boeih neh pongpa hamla a ngaithuen moenih. Israel aka tholh sak Jeroboam kah tholhnah dong lamloh a nong moenih.

But Jehu took no heed to walk in the law of Jehovah, the God of Israel, with all his heart: he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam, wherewith he made Israel to sin.

32 Te khohnin ah Israel te kuet hamla BOEIPA a tawn uh coeng dongah ni Israel khorhi te Hazael loh a pum la a ngawn pah.

In those days Jehovah began to cut off from Israel: and Hazael smote them in all the borders of Israel;

33 Khocuk Jordan lamloh Gad koca, Reuben koca neh Manasseh kah Gilead khohmuen pum, Arnon soklong kah Aroer lamloh, Gilead neh Bashan te a loh.

from the Jordan eastward, all the land of Gilead, the Gadites, and the Reubenites, and the Manassites, from Aroer, which is by the valley of the Arnon, even Gilead and Bashan.

34 Jehu kah ol noi neh a cungkuem a saii te khaw, a thadueng boeih te Israel manghai rhoek kah khokhuen olka cabu dongah a daek moenih a?

Now the rest of the acts of Jehu, and all that he did, and all his might, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

35 Jehu te a napa rhoek taengla a khoem uh vaengah tah anih te Samaria ah a up uh. Te phoeiah a capa Jehoahaz te anih yueng la manghai.

And Jehu slept with his fathers; and they buried him in Samaria. And Jehoahaz his son reigned in his stead.

36 Te vaeng tue ah Jehu loh Israel te Samaria ah kum kul kum rhet a manghai thil.

And the time that Jehu reigned over Israel in Samaria was twenty and eight years.
