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,

And Achaab [had] seventy sons in Samaria. And Ju wrote a letter, and sent it into Samaria to the rulers of Samaria, and to the elders, and to the guardians of [the children of] Achaab, 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.

Now then, as soon as this letter shall have reached you, whereas [there are] with you the sons of your master, and with you chariots and horses, and strong cities, and arms,

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.

do you accordingly look out the best and fit among your master's sons, and set him on the throne of his father, and fight for the house of your master.

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.

And they feared greatly, and said, Behold, two kings stood not before him: and how 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.

So they that were over the house, and they that were over the city, and the elders and the guardians, sent to Ju, saying, We also [are] your servants, and whatever you shall say to us we will do; we will not make [any] man king: we will do that which is right in your 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.

And Ju wrote them a second letter, saying, If you [are] for me, and listen to my voice, take the heads of the men your master's sons, and bring [them] to me at this time to-morrow in Jezrael. Now the sons of the king were seventy men; these great men of the city 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 killed them, [even] seventy men, and put their heads in baskets, and sent them to him at Jezrael.

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 a messenger came and told [him], saying, They have brought the heads of the king's sons. And he said, Lay them [in] two heaps by the door 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 the morning came, and he went forth, and stood, and said to all the people, You are righteous: behold, I conspired against my master, and killed him: but who killed 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.

See now that there shall not fall to the ground anything of the word of the Lord which the Lord spoke against the house of Achaab: for the Lord has performed all that he spoke of by the hand of his servant Eliu.

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.

And Ju struck all that were left of the house of Achaab in Jezrael, and all his great men, and his acquaintance, and his priests, so as not to leave him [any] remnant.

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

And he arose and went to Samaria, [and] he [was] in the house of sheep-shearing 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.

And Ju found the brethren of Ochozias king of Juda, and said, Who [are] you? And they said, We [are] the brethren of Ochozias, and we have come down to salute the sons of the king, and the sons 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 killed them at the shearing-house, forty and two men: he left not a man 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 he went thence and found Jonadab the son of Rechab [coming] to meet him; and he saluted him, and Ju said to him, Is your heart right with my heart, as my heart [is] with your heart? And Jonadab said, It is. And Ju said, If it is then, give me your 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 to him, Come with me, and see me zealous for the Lord. And he caused him to sit 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 he entered into Samaria, and struck all that were left of Achaab in Samaria, until he had utterly destroyed him, according to the word of the Lord, which he spoke to Eliu.

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 Ju gathered all the people, and said to them, Achaab served Baal a little; Ju shall 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 then do all [you] the prophets of Baal call all his servants and his priests to me; let not a man be lacking: for I have a great sacrifice [to offer] to Baal; every one who shall be missing shall die. But Ju did it in subtilty, that he might destroy the servants of Baal.

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

And Ju said, Sanctify a solemn festival to Baal, and they made a proclamation.

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 Ju sent throughout all Israel, saying, Now then let all [Baal's] servants, and all his priests, and all his prophets [come], let none be lacking: for I am going to offer a great sacrifice; whoever shall be missing, shall not live. So all the servants of Baal came, and all his priests, and all his prophets: there was not one left who came not. And they entered into the house of Baal; and the house of Baal was filled from one end to the other.

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 to the man who was over the house of the wardrobe, Bring forth a robe for all the servants of Baal. And the keeper of the robes brought forth to them.

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 Ju and Jonadab the son of Rechab entered into the house of Baal, and said to the servants of Baal, Search, and see whether there is among you any of the servants of the Lord, or only the servants of Baal, by themselves.

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 he went in to offer sacrifices and whole burnt offerings; and Ju set for himself eighty men without, and said, Every man who shall escape of the men whom I bring into your hand, the life of him [that spares him] shall go for his life.

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, when he had finished offering the whole burnt offering, that Ju said to the footmen and to the officers, Go you in and kill them; let not a man of them escape. So they struck them with the edge of the sword, and the footmen and the officers cast [the bodies] forth, 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 out the pillar of Baal, and burnt it.

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 tore down the pillars of Baal, and made his house a draught-house until this day.

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

So Ju abolished 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.

Nevertheless Ju departed not from following the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who led Israel to sin: [these were] the golden heifers in Baethel and 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 the Lord said to Ju, Because of all your deeds wherein you have acted well in doing that which was right in my eyes, according to all things which you have done to the house of Achaab [as they were] in my heart, your sons to the fourth generation shall sit upon 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 Ju took no heed to walk in the law of the Lord God of Israel with all his heart: he departed not from following the sins of Jeroboam, who 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 the Lord began to cut Israel short; and Azael struck them in every coast 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 Jordan eastward all the land of Galaad belonging to the Gadites, of Gaddi and that of Ruben, and of Manasses, from Aroer, which is on the brink of the brook of Arnon, and Galaad and Basan.

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?

And the rest of the acts of Ju, and all that he did, and all his might, and the wars wherein he engaged, [are] not these things 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 Ju slept with his fathers; and they buried him in Samaria: and Joachaz 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 days which Ju reigned over Israel [were] twenty-eight years in Samaria.
