2 Ruodhi 10

1 E piny Samaria ne nitie yawuowi piero abiriyo mawuok e dhood Ahab. Kuom mano Jehu nondiko barupe mooro Samaria ne jotend Jezreel, ne jodonge kod jorit mag nyithind Ahab kowachonegi niya,

Now Ahab had seventy sons in Samaria. And so Jehu wrote letters, and he sent to Samaria, to the nobles of the city, and to those greater by birth, and to those who had raised Ahab’s sons, saying:

2 “E sa ma baruwani nochopnue, nikech un gi yawuot ruodhu kod geche lweny gi farese, gi dala maduongʼ mochiel motegno kod gige lweny,

“Immediately when you receive these letters, you who have your lord’s sons, and chariots, and horses, and reinforced cities, and weapons,

3 yieruru achiel kuom yawuot ruoth mowinjore kendo ukete obed e loch wuon-gi. Bangʼ mano ikreuru mondo uked ne dhood ruodhu.”

choose him who is better and who pleases you from among the sons of your lord, and set him on the throne of his father, and fight for the house of your lord.”

4 To kihondko ne ogoyogi magiwacho niya, “Ka ruodhi pinje ariyo ne ok nyal sire, wan to bende dwasire?”

But they were vehemently afraid, and they said: “Behold, two kings were not able to stand before him. So how will we be able to withstand him?”

5 Eka jatend dala ruoth, jatend dala maduongʼ, jodongo kod jorit mag nyithind Ahab nooro wachni ne Jehu kama: “Wan mana jotichni omiyo wabiro timo gimoro amora miwacho. Ok wabi yiero ngʼato e dierwa mondo obed ruoth, tim gima chunyi oneno ni ber.”

Therefore, those who were in charge of the house, and the prefects of the city, and those greater by birth, and those who raised the sons, sent to Jehu, saying: “We are your servants. Whatever you will order, we will do. But we will not appoint a king for ourselves. Do whatever pleases you.”

6 Eka Jehu nondikonegi baruwa mar ariyo mawacho niya, “Ka un jokora kendo ubiro winjo wachna, to ngʼaduru wiye yawuot ruodhu kendo kiny kochopo sa maka ma to ubi ira Jezreel.” E kindeno yawuot ruoth piero abiriyo ne ni kod jorit mag-gi mane gin jotend dala maduongʼno.

Then he again wrote letters to them a second time, saying: “If you are mine, and if you obey me, take the heads of the sons of your lord, and come to me at Jezreel at this same hour tomorrow.” Now the sons of the king, being seventy men, were being raised with the nobles of the city.

7 Kane baruwa ochopo jogi nokawo yawuot ruoth piero abiriyogo ma ginego. Negikawo wiyegi ma giketogi ei okapu kendo giterone Jehu e piny Jezreel.

And when the letters had arrived to them, they took the sons of the king, and they killed the seventy men. And they placed their heads in baskets, and they sent these to him at Jezreel.

8 Kane jaote ochopo ne owacho ne Jehu niya, “Gisekelo wiye yawuot ruoth.” Eka Jehu nogolo chik niya, “Dhurgiuru pidhe ariyo e dhoranga dala maduongʼ nyaka piny yawre.”

Then a messenger arrived and reported to him, saying, “They have brought the heads of the king’s sons.” And he responded, “Place them in two piles, beside the entrance of the gate, until morning.”

9 Kinyne gokinyi machielono Jehu nowuok modhi ochungʼ e nyim oganda mowachonegi niya, “Un to uonge ketho makmana ni an ema ne ariwora gi ji ma andhogo ruodha kendo anege, to koro joma othogi duto, to ngʼama onego?

And when it had become light, he went out. And standing there, he said to all the people: “You are just. If I have conspired against my lord, and if I have killed him, who has struck down all of these?

10 Koro ngʼeuru ni onge wach ma Jehova Nyasaye osewacho ewi od Ahab ma ok nochop kare. Jehova Nyasaye osetimo gima ne osingo kokalo kuom jatichne Elija.”

Now therefore, see that none of the words of the Lord has fallen to the ground, which the Lord spoke over the house of Ahab, and that the Lord has done what he spoke by the hand of his servant Elijah.”

11 Omiyo Jehu nonego ji duto man Jezreel mane odongʼ e od Ahab, kaachiel gi jotende duto, osiepene kod jodolo mage duto, maonge ngʼama noweyo kangima.

And so, Jehu struck down all who had remained from the house of Ahab in Jezreel, and all his nobles and friends and priests, until no remnant of them was left behind.

12 Eka Jehu ne owuok kochomo yo Samaria. Kane ochopo kar jokwath miluongo ni Beth Eked,

And he rose up and went to Samaria. And when he had arrived at the shepherds’ cabin along the way,

13 ne oromo gi wede Ahazia ruodh Juda moko mopenjogi niya, “Un ngʼa gini.” To negidwoko niya, “Wan wede Ahazia kendo ne walor mondo wamos joka ruoth kod min ruoth.”

he found the brothers of Ahaziah, the king of Judah, and he said to them, “Who are you?” And they responded, “We are the brothers of Ahaziah, and we are going down to greet the sons of the king, and the sons of the queen.”

14 Eka nogolo chik niya, “Makgiuru” Omiyo negimako ji piero angʼwen gariyogo ma gidhi kodgi e bath soko man Beth Eked ma ginegogi, kendo onge moro amora mane otony.

And he said, “Take them alive.” And when they had taken them alive, they cut their throats at the cistern beside the cabin, forty-two men. And he did not leave any of them behind.

15 Kane osea kanyo noyudo Jehonadab wuod Rekab, mane dhi romone. Jehu nomose mopenje niya, “Bende in koda e winjruok kaka an kodini?” Jehonadab nodwoke niya, Ee an kodi. Jehu nowachone niya, “Ka en kamano, to miya lweti.” Omiyo notimo kamano kendo nomako lwete moidho gach lweny.

And when he had gone away from there, he found Jehonadab, the son of Rechab, coming to meet him, and he blessed him. And he said to him, “Is your heart upright, just as my heart is with your heart?” And Jehonadab said, “It is.” Then he said, “If it is, then give me your hand.” He gave his hand to him. And so he lifted him up to himself in the chariot.

16 Jehu nowachone niya, “Bi mondo idhi koda mondo ineye kaka achiwora tiyone Jehova Nyasaye.” Eka negidhi kode koidho gache.

And he said to him, “Come with me, and see my zeal for the Lord.” And he gave him a place in his chariot.

17 Kane Jehu ochopo Samaria, nonego jood Ahab duto mane odongʼ, notiekogi kaluwore gi wach mane Jehova Nyasaye owachone Elija.

And he led him into Samaria. And he struck down all who were left behind of Ahab in Samaria, even to the last one, in accord with the word of the Lord, which he spoke through Elijah.

18 Eka Jehu nochoko ji duto kanyakla mowachonegi niya, “Ahab ne otiyone Baal mana matin, to Jehu biro tiyone mangʼeny.

Then Jehu gathered together the entire people. And he said to them: “Ahab worshipped Baal a little, but I will worship him even more.

19 Koro luong jonabi duto mag Baal, jodonge duto kod jodolone duto. Kik yudi ni ngʼato kuomgi onge nikech adhi timo nyasi mar misango maduongʼ ne Baal. Ngʼato angʼata ma ok ochopo e nyasino to ok nobed mangima.” To Jehu ne wuondore nimar ne odwaro kaka doneg jodong Baal duto.

Now therefore, summon to me all the prophets of Baal, and all his servants, and all his priests. Let no one be permitted not to come, for great is the sacrifice from me to Baal. Whoever will fail to come, he shall not live.” Now Jehu was doing this treacherously, so that he might destroy the worshippers of Baal.

20 Jehu nowacho niya, “Timuru chokruok maduongʼ mar Baal.” Omiyo negilando wachno.

And he said: “Sanctify a day of solemnity for Baal.” And he summoned

21 Eka nooro wach e piny Israel duto mi jodong Baal duto nobiro; kendo onge kata mana ngʼato achiel mane odongʼ. Negipongʼo ii hekaluno duto koni gi koni.

and sent into all the borders of Israel. And all the servants of Baal came. There was left behind not even one who did not arrive. And they entered into the temple of Baal. And the house of Baal was filled, all the way from end to end.

22 Kendo Jehu nowachone jarit kar keno mar lewni niya, “Keluru kandhe moromo jodong Baal duto.” Omiyo nokelo kandhe moromogi duto.

And he said to those who were over the vestments, “Bring forth vestments for all the servants of Baal.” And they brought forth vestments for them.

23 Bangʼ mano Jehu gi Jehonadab wuod Rekab nodhi ei hekalu mar Baal. Jehu nowachone jodong Baal duto niya, “Neuru ni onge jatich Jehova Nyasaye moro amora kodu ka makmana jodong Baal.”

And Jehu, upon entering the temple of Baal with Jehonadab, the son of Rechab, said to the worshippers of Baal, “Inquire and see that there is no one with you from the servants of the Lord, but only from the servants of Baal.”

24 Eka negidonjo ei hekaluno mondo gichiw misengini miwangʼo pep kod liswa. Noyudo Jehu oseketo ji piero aboro oko momiyogi siem kama: “Kapo ni ngʼato moro kuomu oweyo achiel kuom jogi otony, to ngimani nokaw kar ngimane.”

Then they entered, so that they might offer victims and holocausts. But Jehu had prepared for himself eighty men outside. And he had said to them, “If anyone escapes from among these men, whom I have led into your hands, your life will take the place of his life.”

25 Sa mane Jehu osetieko misango miwangʼo pep, ne ogolo chikne jorit gi jotelo kama: “Donjuru kendo uneg-gi, kendo kik uwe moro otony.” Omiyo neginegogi gi ligangla. Jorit kod jotelogo nowito ringregi oko kendo negidonjo nyaka ei agola mar hekalu mar Baal.

Then it happened that, when the holocaust had been completed, Jehu ordered his soldiers and officers, saying: “Enter and strike them down. Let no one escape.” And the soldiers and officers struck them down with the edge of the sword, and they cast them out. And they went into the city of the temple of Baal,

26 Bangʼe negigolo oko kido milamo e hekalu mar Baal mi giwangʼe.

and they took away the statue from the shrine of Baal, and they burned it up

27 Negitoyo kidi milamo kendo gimuko hekalu mar Baal kendo kanyo ji osebedo katiyogo kaka choo nyaka chil kawuono.

and crushed it. They also tore down the temple of Baal, and they made it into a latrine, even to this day.

28 Omiyo Jehu noketho lamo Baal e piny Israel.

And thus did Jehu wipe away Baal from Israel.

29 Kata kamano ne ok olokore oweyo richo mar Jeroboam wuod Nebat, mane omiyo jo-Israel odonje richo mar lamo nyaroya mar mula mochwe e Bethel kod Dan.

Yet truly, he did not turn away from the sins of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin. Neither did he forsake the golden calves, which were in Bethel and Dan.

30 Jehova Nyasaye nowachone Jehu niya, “Nikech isetimo maber mondo ichop gima nikare e wangʼa kendo isetimo ne od Ahab gik mane ni e pacha, ogandani nobed e loch mar Israel nyaka tiengʼ mar angʼwen.”

Then the Lord said to Jehu: “Since you have diligently carried out what was right and pleasing in my eyes, and since you have accomplished, against the house of Ahab, all that was in my heart, your sons shall sit upon the throne of Israel, even to the fourth generation.”

31 Kata kamano Jehu ne ok oritore kuom mako chike Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach Israel gi chunye duto. Bende ne ok olokore e richo Jeroboam, mane omiyo jo-Israel otimo.

But Jehu did not take care, so that he might walk in the law of the Lord, the God of Israel, with all his heart. For he did not withdraw from the sins of Jeroboam, who had caused Israel to sin.

32 E kindeno Jehova Nyasaye nochako dwoko kwan mar jo-Israel piny, Hazael noloyo jo-Israel e pinjegi duto,

In those days, the Lord began to be weary of Israel. And Hazael struck them throughout all the parts of Israel,

33 chakre aora Jordan kochomo yo wuok chiengʼ kaachiel gi pinje duto mag Gilead (ma gin gwenge mag Gad, Reuben kod Manase), kendo chakre Aroer manie bath aora Arnon kokadho Gilead nyaka Bashan.

from the Jordan opposite the eastern region, in all the land of Gilead, and Gad, and Reuben, and Manasseh, from Aroer, which is above the torrent Arnon, in both Gilead and Bashan.

34 To kuom weche moko mondiki e sigand loch Jehu, gik mane otimo, gima ne ochopo kare, donge ondikgi e kitabu motingʼo weche mag ruodhi jo-Israel?

But the rest of the words of Jehu, and all that he did, and his strength, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?

35 Jehu notho moyweyo gi kwerene kendo ne oike e piny Samaria mi Jehoahaz wuode nobedo ruoth kare.

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

36 Ndalo mane Jehu obedo gi loch e piny Israel ka en Samaria noromo higni piero ariyo gaboro.

Now the days during which Jehu reigned over Israel, in Samaria, were twenty-eight years.
