2 Kings 10
1 Now Ahab had seventy sons in Samaria. And Jehu wrote letters, and sent to Samaria, to the rulers of Jezreel, even the elders, and to those who brought up the sons of Ahab, saying,
Ugbu a, e nwere ụmụ Ehab ndị ikom ọnụọgụgụ ha dị iri asaa ndị nọ na Sameria, Jehu dere akwụkwọ ozi ziga Sameria, zigara ndịisi obodo Jezril, zigakwara ndị okenye na ndị na-elekọta ụmụ Ehab ndị ahụ. Ọ sịrị,
2 And now as soon as this letter comes to you, seeing your master's sons are with you, and there are with you chariots and horses, also a fortified city, and armor,
“Ugbu a, mgbe akwụkwọ a rutere unu aka, ebe unu na ụmụ ndị ikom nna unu ukwu nọ, ebe unu nwekwara ụgbọ agha na ịnyịnya, na obodo e wusiri ike na ngwa agha,
3 look ye out for the best and fittest of your master's sons, and set him on his father's throne, and fight for your master's house.
họpụtanụ onye kachasị inwe ugwu ma kwesikwa nʼime ụmụ ndị ikom nna unu ukwu, mee ka ọ nọkwasị nʼocheeze nna ya. Mgbe ahụ, buo agha chebe ụlọ nna unu ukwu.”
4 But they were exceedingly afraid, and said, Behold, the two kings did not stand before him. How then shall we stand?
Ma ha tụrụ egwu nʼebe ọ dị ukwuu, sị, “Lee, eze abụọ enweghị ike iguzogide ya, anyị onwe anyị ga-esi aṅaa guzogide ya?”
5 And he who was over the household, and he who was over the city, the elders also, and those who brought up the sons, sent to Jehu, saying, We are thy servants, and will do all that thou shall bid us. We will not make any man king. Do thou that which is good in thine eyes.
Ya mere, onye ọ dị nʼaka ilekọta ezinaụlọ eze, onyeisi obodo, ndị okenye na ndị niile na-elekọta ụmụ Ehab, dere akwụkwọ a zigara Jehu, sị ya, “Jehu, anyị niile bụ ndị ohu gị. Anyị jikeere ime ihe niile i gwara anyị. Anyị agaghị ahọpụta onye ọbụla dịka eze; gị onwe gị mee ihe ọbụla ị chere na ọ bụ ya kachasị mma.”
6 Then he wrote a letter the second time to them, saying, If ye be on my side, and if ye will hearken to my voice, take ye the heads of the men your master's sons, and come to me to Jezreel by tomorrow this time. Now the king's sons, being seventy persons, were with the great men of the city who reared them.
Mgbe ahụ, Jehu degaara ha akwụkwọ nke ugboro abụọ sị ha, “Ọ bụrụ na unu dịnyeere m, ọ bụrụkwa na unu ga-erube isi nye m, chịrịnụ isi ụmụ ndị ikom nna unu ukwu, bịakwute m nʼotu oge a echi na Jezril.” Nʼoge ahụ, ụmụ eze iri ndị ikom asaa nọ nʼaka ndịisi obodo ahụ, ndị na-azụlite ha.
7 And it came to pass, when the letter came to them, that they took the king's sons, and killed them, even seventy persons, and put their heads in baskets, and sent them to him to Jezreel.
Mgbe akwụkwọ ozi ahụ rutere ha, ndị ikom ahụ kpọrọ ụmụ ndị ikom eze dị iri asaa nʼọnụọgụgụ gbuo ha niile, chịrị isi ha tinye na nkata zigara ya Jehu na Jezril.
8 And a messenger came, 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.
Mgbe onyeozi bịarutere, ọ gwara Jehu sị, “Ha ebutala isi ụmụ ndị ikom eze.” Mgbe ahụ, Jehu nyere iwu sị, “Tụkọbanụ ha ọnụ nʼoke abụọ, nʼọnụ ụzọ e si abata obodo, tutu ruo ụtụtụ.”
9 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 killed him. But who smote all these?
Nʼụtụtụ ya, Jehu pụrụ, guzoro nʼihu ndị niile gbakọrọ nʼebe ahụ gwa ha okwu sị, “Ndị Izrel, unu bụ ndị ezi omume. Ọ bụ mụ onwe m gbara izu ọjọọ megide nna m ukwu, gbuo ya, ma onye gburu ndị a niile?
10 Know now that there shall fall to the earth nothing of the word of Jehovah, which Jehovah spoke concerning the house of Ahab, for Jehovah has done that which he spoke by his servant Elijah.
Matanụ nke ọma na o nweghị okwu ọbụla Onyenwe anyị kwuru megide ezinaụlọ Ehab nke na-agaghị emezu. Onyenwe anyị emeela ihe o kwere nkwa na ọ ga-eme site nʼọnụ ohu ya Ịlaịja.”
11 So Jehu smote all who remained of the house of Ahab in Jezreel, and all his great men, and his familiar friends, and his priests, until he left to him none remaining.
Emesịa, Jehu gburu ndị ikwu Ehab fọdụrụ nʼobodo Jezril, ha na ndịisi niile, na ndị enyi ya niile, na ndị nchụaja ya niile. Ọ dịkwaghị otu onye ikwu Ehab ọ hapụrụ ndụ.
12 And he arose and departed, and went to Samaria. And as he was at the shearing-house of the shepherds in the way,
Emesịakwa, Jehu hapụrụ Jezril gaa Sameria. Mgbe ọ na-aga nʼụzọ, ọ bịaruru ebe a na-akpọ Ebe Izuike Ndị ọzụzụ atụrụ.
13 Jehu met with the brothers of Ahaziah king of Judah, and said, Who are ye? And they answered, We are the brothers of Ahaziah, and we go down to salute the sons of the king and the sons of the queen.
Nʼebe ahụ, o zutere ndị ụmụnna Ahazaya, eze Juda, jụọ sị, “Olee ndị ka unu bụ?” Ha zara, “Anyị bụ ndị ikwu Ahazaya, eze Juda, anyị bịara ka anyị jụọ maka ọdịmma ndị ezinaụlọ eze na nne eze.”
14 And he said, Take them alive. And they took them alive, and killed them at the pit of the shearing-house, even forty-two men; neither did he leave any of them.
O nyere iwu sị, “Jidenụ ha na ndụ.” Ha jidere ha na ndụ, gbukwaa ha niile nʼakụkụ olulu miri nke Bet-Eked. Ọnụọgụgụ ha dị iri anọ na abụọ. O nweghị onye ọbụla ọ hapụrụ ndụ.
15 And when he was departed from there, he came upon 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.
Mgbe o si nʼebe ahụ pụọ, o zutere Jehonadab nwa Rekab, ka ọ na-abịa izute ya. Jehu kelere ya, sị, “Obi gị, o ziri ezi nwee nkwekọrịta, dịka obi m dị nʼebe ị nọ?” Jehonadab zara sị ya, “E.” Jehu sịrị, “Ọ bụrụ na o si otu a dịrị, kwe m nʼaka.” Jehonadab kwere ya nʼaka. Jehu nʼonwe ya nyeere ya aka ka ọ rigota nʼụgbọ agha ya.
16 And he said, Come with me, and see my zeal for Jehovah. So they made him ride in his chariot.
Mgbe ahụ, Jehu sịrị ya, “Ugbu a, soro m bịa lee ụdị ịnụ ọkụ nʼobi m nwere maka ọrụ Onyenwe anyị.” Ha abụọ sooro nʼụgbọ agha Jehu.
17 And when he came to Samaria, he smote all who remained to Ahab in Samaria, till he had destroyed him, according to the word of Jehovah, which he spoke to Elijah.
Mgbe ha bịaruru Sameria, Jehu gburu ndị enyi na ndị ikwu Ehab niile, ndị fọdụrụ site nʼikwu Ehab, o bibiri ha dịka okwu Onyenwe anyị kwuru site nʼọnụ onye amụma Ịlaịja.
18 And Jehu gathered all the people together, and said to them, Ahab served Baal a little, but Jehu will serve him much.
Emesịa, Jehu kpọkọtara ndị obodo ahụ niile sị ha, “Ehab fere Baal ofufe nke nta, Jehu ga-efe ya ebe ọ dị ukwuu.
19 Now therefore call to me all the prophets of Baal, all his worshippers, and all his priests. Let none be lacking, for I have a great sacrifice to do to Baal. Whoever shall be lacking, he shall not live. But Jehu did it in subtlety, to the intent that he might destroy the worshippers of Baal.
Ugbu a, kpọkọtaanụ ndị amụma Baal niile, ndị niile na-efe ya, na ndị nchụaja ya niile. Hụnụ na onye ọbụla nʼime ha bịara, nʼihi na a ga-eme oke mmemme ịchụ aja nye Baal. Onye ọbụla e lere anya ya nʼebe ahụ, ma a hụghị ya, agaghị adị ndụ.” Ma Jehu ji aghụghọ nʼihi ka ọ laa ndị a na-efe Baal nʼiyi.
20 And Jehu said, Sanctify a solemn assembly for Baal. And they proclaimed it.
Jehu sịrị, “Kpọsaanụ na a ga-enwe oke mkpọkọta dị nsọ nye Baal.” Ya mere, ha kwusara ya.
21 And Jehu sent through all Israel. And all the worshippers of Baal came, so that there was not a man left who did not come. And they came into the house of Baal, and the house of Baal was filled from one end to another.
O zipụrụ ozi nye ndị bi nʼakụkụ Izrel niile. Ndị niile na-efe Baal bịazuru. Ọ dịghị onye fọdụrụ nke na-abịaghị. Ha jupụtara nʼụlọnsọ ukwu Baal site nʼotu isi ya ruo nʼisi nke ọzọ.
22 And he said to him who was over the vestry, Bring forth vestments for all the worshippers of Baal. And he brought forth for them vestments.
Jehu sịrị onye na-elekọta ụlọ ebe a na-edebe uwe ndị na-efe ofufe na-eyi, “Chịpụta uwe nye ndị niile na-efe Baal.” Ya mere, ọ chịpụtaara ha uwe.
23 And Jehu went, and Jehonadab the son of Rechab, into the house of Baal. And he said to 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.
Mgbe ahụ, Jehu na Jehonadab nwa Rekab, banyere nʼebe nzukọ Baal. Jehu sịrị ndị nʼefe Baal, “Chọzienụ nke ọma ka unu hụ na o nweghị onye ọbụla na-efe Onyenwe anyị nọ nʼebe a, karịakwa naanị ndị na-efe Baal.”
24 And they went in to offer sacrifices and burnt offerings. Now Jehu had appointed for him eighty men outside, and said, If any of the men whom I bring into your hands escape, he who lets him go, his life shall be for the life of him.
Mgbe ha malitere ịchụ aja na isure ihe nsure ọkụ, Jehu emeelarị ka iri ndị agha asatọ gbaa ụlọ ahụ niile gburugburu. O nyelarị iwu sị, “Ọ bụrụ na unu ekwere ka otu onye si nʼime ụlọ a gbapụ, unu ga-eji ndụ unu kwụghachi ụgwọ onye dị otu ahụ.”
25 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 kill 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.
Ngwangwa Jehu chụchasịrị aja nsure ọkụ, ọ pụrụ gwa ndị agha ya, na ndịisi ha okwu sị, “Baanụ nʼime ụlọ gbuo ndị niile nọ nʼebe ahụ. Unu ekwela ka otu onye nʼime ha gbapụ.” Ha jiri mma agha gbuo ndị ahụ nọ nʼime ụlọ Baal, tụpụta ozu ha nʼezi. Emesịa, ndị agha Jehu banyere nʼime ime ụlọ ebe ịchụ aja Baal,
26 And they brought forth the pillars that were in the house of Baal, and burned them.
ha bupụtara ogidi nsọ e ji efe Baal, kpọọ ha ọkụ.
27 And they broke down the pillar of Baal, and broke down the house of Baal, and made it an out-house to this day.
Ha kwaturu ogidi nsọ Baal, kwatukwaa ụlọ ịchụ aja ya. Ya mere e megharịrị ya ka ọ bụrụ ebe ọha mmadụ na-aga ogwe ruo taa.
28 Thus Jehu destroyed Baal out of Israel.
Jehu kpochapụrụ ofufe Baal nʼala Izrel niile.
29 However from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin, Jehu did not depart from after them, namely, the golden calves that were in Bethel, and that were in Dan.
Ma otu ọ dị, o siteghị na mmehie Jeroboam nwa Nebat wezuga onwe ya. Mmehie nke Jeroboam mere ka Izrel mehie, ya bụ, mmehie nke ife arụsị ụmụ ehi e ji ọlaedo kpụọ, dị na Betel na Dan.
30 And Jehovah said to Jehu, Because thou have done well in executing that which is right in my eyes, and have done to 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.
Onyenwe anyị gwara Jehu sị, “Nʼihi na i mere nke ọma mezuo ihe niile ziri ezi nʼanya m, nʼebe ezinaụlọ Ehab nọ, nʼusoro ihe niile dị nʼuche m ime, ụmụ ụmụ gị ga-anọkwasị nʼocheeze Izrel, ruo nʼọgbọ nke anọ ha.”
31 But Jehu did not take heed to walk in the law of Jehovah, the God of Israel, with all his heart. He did not depart from the sins of Jeroboam, with which he made Israel to sin.
Ma Jehu akpachapụghị anya iji obi ya niile debe iwu Onyenwe anyị, Chineke Izrel. O siteghị na mmehie Jeroboam wezuga onwe ya, bụ mmehie ahụ o mere ka Izrel mee.
32 In those days Jehovah began to cut off from Israel. And Hazael smote them in all the borders of Israel,
Nʼoge ahụ, Onyenwe anyị malitere ime ka ndị Izrel bido ịdị nta. Hazael eze Aram, buru agha merie ọtụtụ akụkụ Izrel,
33 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.
nke dị nʼọwụwa anyanwụ osimiri Jọdan, na ala niile nke Gilead (nʼoke ala ndị Gad, na nke ndị Ruben, na Manase), site nʼAroea nke dị nʼakụkụ ndagwurugwu Anọn, ruo Gilead na Bashan.
34 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?
Akụkọ gbasara ọchịchị eze Jehu, na ihe niile o mere, na ịkpa ike ya niile, e deghị ha nʼakwụkwọ akụkọ ndị eze Izrel?
35 And Jehu slept with his fathers, and they buried him in Samaria. And Jehoahaz his son reigned in his stead.
Jehu sooro ndị nna nna ya ha dina nʼọnwụ, e lie ya na Sameria. Nwa ya bụ Jehoahaz nọchiri anya ya dịka eze.
36 And the time that Jehu reigned over Israel in Samaria was twenty-eight years.
Ma ụbọchị niile Jehu bụ eze Izrel nʼime Sameria dị iri afọ abụọ na asatọ.
