< 2 Kings 10 >

1 Now Ahab had seventy sons in Samaria. Jehu wrote letters and sent them to Samaria, to the rulers of Jezreel, even the elders, and to those who brought up Ahab’s sons, saying,
Yeroo sanatti Ahaab ilmaan torbaatama Samaariyaa keessaa qaba ture. Kanaafuu Yehuun xalayoota barreessee qondaaltota Yizriʼeelitti, maanguddootattii fi guddiftoota ilmaan Ahaabitti gara Samaariyaatti erge. Inni akkana jedhe;
2 “Now as soon as this letter comes to you, since your master’s sons are with you, and you have chariots and horses, a fortified city also, and armor,
“Akkuma xalayaan kun isin gaʼeen, waan ilmaan gooftaa keessanii isin bira jiranii fi waan isinis gaariiwwanii fi fardeen, magaalaa jabeeffamee ijaaramee fi miʼa lolaa qabdaniif,
3 select the best and fittest of your master’s sons, set him on his father’s throne, and fight for your master’s house.”
ilmaan gooftaa keessanii keessaa kan warra kaan caaluu fi kan ni mala jettanii yaaddan filadhaatii teessoo abbaa isaa irra teessisaa. Ergasiis mana abbaa keessaniitiif lolaa.”
4 But they were exceedingly afraid, and said, “Behold, the two kings did not stand before him! How then shall we stand?”
Isaan garuu akka malee sodaatanii, “Yoo mootonni lama isa hin dandaʼin nu akkamiin isa dandeenya?” waliin jedhan.
5 He who was over the household, and he who was over the city, the elders also, and those who raised the children, sent to Jehu, saying, “We are your servants, and will do all that you ask us. We will not make any man king. You do that which is good in your eyes.”
Kanaafuu bulchaan masaraa mootummaatii fi shuumiin magaalattii, maanguddoonnii fi guddiftoonni, “Nu garboota kee ti; waan ati jettu hunda ni hojjenna. Nu nama tokko illee mootii goonee hin filannu; ati mataan kee waanuma jaallatte godhi” jedhanii ergaa kana Yehuutti ergan.
6 Then he wrote a letter the second time to them, saying, “If you are on my side, and if you will listen to my voice, take the heads of the men who are 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 brought them up.
Yehuun immoo, “Isin yoo garee koo taatanii fi yoo naa ajajamtan, mataa ilmaan gooftaa keessanii kukkutaatii bori yeroo kanatti Yizriʼeelitti naa fidaa” jedhee xalayaa lammaffaa barreesse. Yeroo kanatti ilmaan mootii torbaatamanuu namoota magaalaa sanaa bebeekamoo kanneen isaan guddisan bira turan.
7 When the letter came to them, they took the king’s sons and killed them, even seventy people, and put their heads in baskets, and sent them to him to Jezreel.
Yommuu xalayaan sun isaan gaʼetti namoonni kunneen ilmaan mootii torbaatamman sana hundumaa ni gogorraʼan. Mataa isaaniis guubootti naqanii gara Yizriʼeelitti Yehuudhaaf ni ergan.
8 A messenger came and told him, “They have brought the heads of the king’s sons.” He said, “Lay them in two heaps at the entrance of the gate until the morning.”
Ergamtichi yommuu deebiʼetti, “Isaan mataa ilmaan mootii fidaniiru” jedhee Yehuutti hime. Yehuun immoo, “Mee balbala ittiin magaalattii seenan duratti iddoo lamatti tuulaatii hamma lafti bariitutti tursaa” jedhee ajaje.
9 In the morning, he went out 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?
Yehuun guyyaa itti aanu ganamaan kaʼee gad baʼe. Fuula namoota hundaa dura dhaabatees akkana jedhe; “Isin yakka hin qabdan. Namni gooftaa kootti malatee isa ajjeese anuma; garuu warra kana hunda eenyutu fixe?
10 Know now that nothing will fall to the earth of the LORD’s word, which the LORD spoke concerning Ahab’s house. For the LORD has done that which he spoke by his servant Elijah.”
Kanaafuu akka dubbiin Waaqayyo mana Ahaab irratti dubbate tokko iyyuu lafa hin buune beekaa. Waaqayyo waan karaa garbicha isaa Eeliyaasiin dubbate sana guuteera.”
11 So Jehu struck all that remained of Ahab’s house in Jezreel, with all his great men, his familiar friends, and his priests, until he left him no one remaining.
Yehuunis akkasiin nama mana Ahaab keessaa Yizriʼeel keessatti hafe kam iyyuu, namoota isaa gurguddaa, michoota isaa kanneen itti dhiʼaatanii fi luboota isaa, utuu nama tokko illee hin hambisin hunda isaanii fixe.
12 He arose and departed, and went to Samaria. As he was at the shearing house of the shepherds on the way,
Yehuun ergasii kaʼee Samaariyaa dhaqe. Innis yommuu Beet Eekad gaʼetti,
13 Jehu met with the brothers of Ahaziah king of Judah, and said, “Who are you?” They answered, “We are the brothers of Ahaziah. We are going down to greet the children of the king and the children of the queen.”
firoota Ahaaziyaa mootii Yihuudaa keessaa namoota tokko tokko argee, “Isin eenyu?” jedhee gaafate. Isaanis, “Nu firoota Ahaaziyaa; nu maatii mootichaatii fi ilmaan haadha mootichaa dubbisuu dhufne” jedhanii deebisan.
14 He said, “Take them alive!” They took them alive, and killed them at the pit of the shearing house, even forty-two men. He did not leave any of them.
Innis, “Utuma lubbuudhaan jiranuu isaan qabaa!” jedhee ajaje. Kanaafuu utuma isaan lubbuun jiranuu qabanii boolla bishaanii Beet Eekad biratti afurtamii lamaan isaanii gogorraʼan. Inni isaan keessaa nama tokko illee hin hambifne.
15 When he had departed from there, he met Jehonadab the son of Rechab coming to meet him. He greeted him, and said to him, “Is your heart right, as my heart is with your heart?” Jehonadab answered, “It is.” “If it is, give me your hand.” He gave him his hand; and he took him up to him into the chariot.
Erga achii deemee immoo Yehoonaadaab ilma Rekaab utuu inni gara isaa dhufuutti jiruu arge. Yehuunis isa dubbisee, “Akkuma ani gara kee jiru ati gara koo jirta moo?” jedhee isa gaafate. Yehoonaadaabis, “Ani gara kee jira” jedhee deebise. Yehuunis, “Yoo akkas taʼe harka kee natti kenni” jedheen. Innis harka isaa itti kenne. Yehuunis isa gargaaree gaariitti ol isa baase.
16 He said, “Come with me, and see my zeal for the LORD.” So they made him ride in his chariot.
Yehuun, “Na wajjin kottuutii hinaaffaa ani Waaqayyoof qabu ilaali” jedheen. Ergasiis gaarii isaatiin isa fudhatee deeme.
17 When he came to Samaria, he struck all who remained to Ahab in Samaria, until he had destroyed them, according to the LORD’s word which he spoke to Elijah.
Yehuun yommuu Samaariyaa gaʼetti maatii Ahaab keessaa kanneen achitti hafan hunda fixe; innis akkuma dubbii Waaqayyo Eeliyaasitti dubbate sanaatti isaan balleesse.
18 Jehu gathered all the people together, and said to them, “Ahab served Baal a little, but Jehu will serve him much.
Ergasii Yehuun saba hunda walitti waamee akkana jedheen; “Ahaab xinnuma Baʼaalin tajaajile. Yehuun garuu guddisee isa tajaajila.
19 Now therefore call to me all the prophets of Baal, all of his worshipers, and all of his priests. Let no one be absent, for I have a great sacrifice to Baal. Whoever is absent, he shall not live.” But Jehu did deceptively, intending to destroy the worshipers of Baal.
Kanaafuu amma raajota Baʼaal hunda, tajaajiltoota isaa hundaa fi luboota isaa hunda walitti waamaa. Waan ani qalma guddaa isaa Baʼaaliif dhiʼeessuuf tokkoon isaanii iyyuu hin hafin. Namni hafu kam iyyuu siʼachi lubbuudhaan hin jiraatu.” Yehuun garuu tajaajiltoota Baʼaal barbadeesuudhaaf sobee akkas jedhe.
20 Jehu said, “Sanctify a solemn assembly for Baal!” So they proclaimed it.
Yehuun, “Ulfina Baʼaaliif jedhaatii yaaʼii waamaa” jedhe. Kanaafuu isaan ni labsan.
21 Jehu sent through all Israel; and all the worshipers of Baal came, so that there was not a man left that did not come. They came into the house of Baal; and the house of Baal was filled from one end to another.
Kana irratti inni Israaʼel guutuu keessa ergaa ergee akkasiin tajaajiltoonni Baʼaal hundinuu ni dhufan; tokkoon isaanii iyyuu hin hafne. Isaanis mana waaqeffannaa Baʼaalitti ol galan; manni sunis gama tokkoo hamma gama kaaniitti guutame.
22 He said to him who kept the wardrobe, “Bring out robes for all the worshipers of Baal!” So he brought robes out to them.
Yehuunis namicha uffata eeguun, “Tajaajiltoota Baʼaal hundaaf uffata fidi” jedhe. Kanaafuu namichi sun wayyaa fideef.
23 Jehu went with Jehonadab the son of Rechab into the house of Baal. Then he said to the worshipers of Baal, “Search, and see that none of the servants of the LORD are here with you, but only the worshipers of Baal.”
Yehuu fi Yehoonaadaab ilmi Rekaab sun mana waaqeffannaa Baʼaal ol seenan. Yehuunis tajaajiltoota Baʼaaliin, “Mee asii fi achi ilaalaatii akka tajaajiltoota Baʼaal malee tajaajiltoonni Waaqayyoo tokko iyyuu isin wajjin as hin jirre hubadhaa” jedhe.
24 So they went in to offer sacrifices and burnt offerings. Now Jehu had appointed for himself 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.”
Kanaafuu isaan qalmaa fi aarsaa gubamu dhiʼeessuuf ol galan. Yehuun yeroo sanatti nama saddeettama ala dhaabee, “Namni warra ani harka keessanitti kennu kanneen keessaa akka tokko iyyuu miliqu godhu kam iyyuu qooda lubbuu namicha sanaa lubbuu isaa dhaba” jedhee akeekkachiisee ture.
25 As soon as he had finished offering the burnt offering, Jehu said to the guard and to the captains, “Go in and kill them! Let no one escape.” So they struck them with the edge of the sword. The guard and the captains threw the bodies out, and went to the inner shrine of the house of Baal.
Yehuun akkuma aarsaa gubamu sana dhiʼeessee raawwateen, “Ol seenaatii isaan fixaa; akka namni tokko iyyuu miliqu hin godhinaa” jedhee eegdotaa fi ajajjoota sana ajaje. Kanaafuu isaan goraadeedhaan warra sana cicciran. Eegdotaa fi ajajjoonni sun reeffa isaanii alatti gad dadarbatanii kutaa mana waaqeffannaa Baʼaal kan gara keessaatti ol galan.
26 They brought out the pillars that were in the house of Baal and burned them.
Isaanis mana Baʼaal keessaa fakkiiwwan gad baasanii guban.
27 They broke down the pillar of Baal, and broke down the house of Baal, and made it a latrine, to this day.
Isaan fakkii Baʼaal caccabsanii mana Baʼaalis diigan. Namoonnis hamma guyyaa harʼaatti lafa itti bobbaa baʼan godhatanii itti fayyadamu.
28 Thus Jehu destroyed Baal out of Israel.
Akkasiin Yehuun Israaʼel keessaa waaqeffannaa Baʼaal balleesse.
29 However, Jehu did not depart from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin—the golden calves that were in Bethel and that were in Dan.
Taʼus inni iyyuu cubbuu Yerobiʼaam ilma Nebaat kan inni akka sabni Israaʼel hojjetu godhe sana irraa hin deebine; cubbuun kunis fakkii jabbii warqee irraa hojjetamee Beetʼeelii fi Daanitti waaqeffachuu isaanii ti.
30 The LORD said to Jehu, “Because you have done well in executing that which is right in my eyes, and have done to Ahab’s house according to all that was in my heart, your descendants shall sit on the throne of Israel to the fourth generation.”
Waaqayyos Yehuudhaan akkana jedhe; “Sababii ati waan fuula koo duratti qajeelaa taʼe fiixaan baasuu keessatti waan gaarii hojjettee fi waan ani mana Ahaab irratti hojjechuuf garaadhaa qabu hunda hojjetteef sanyiiwwan kee hamma dhaloota afuraffaatti teessoo Israaʼel irra ni taaʼu.”
31 But Jehu took no heed to walk in the law of the LORD, the God of Israel, with all his heart. He did not depart from the sins of Jeroboam, with which he made Israel to sin.
Taʼus Yehuun seera Waaqayyo Waaqa Israaʼel garaa guutuudhaan eeguuf of eeggannoo hin goone. Inni cubbuu Yerobiʼaam kan inni akka sabni Israaʼel hojjetu godhe sana irraa hin deebine.
32 In those days the LORD began to cut away parts of Israel; and Hazael struck them in all the borders of Israel
Bara sana keessa Waaqayyo lafa Israaʼel irraa kukkutee xinneessuu jalqabe. Hazaaʼeelis guutummaa bulchiinsa isaanii keessatti Israaʼeloota moʼate;
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.
kunis gama baʼa Yordaanosiin biyya Giliʼaad hunda jechuunis biyya Gaad, biyya Ruubeenii fi biyya Minaasee kan Aroʼeer laga Arnoon biratti argamtu sanaa jalqabee Giliʼaadii hamma Baashaaniitti jiruu dha.
34 Now the rest of the acts of Jehu, and all that he did, and all his might, are not they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
Wantoonni bara mootummaa Yehuu keessa hojjetaman biraa, wanni inni hojjete hundii fi jabinni isaa hundi kitaaba seenaa mootota Israaʼel keessatti barreeffamaniiru mitii?
35 Jehu slept with his fathers; and they buried him in Samaria. Jehoahaz his son reigned in his place.
Yehuun abbootii isaa wajjin boqotee Samaariyaa keessatti ni awwaalame. Ilmi isaa Yehooʼaahaaz iddoo isaa buʼee mootii taʼe.
36 The time that Jehu reigned over Israel in Samaria was twenty-eight years.
Yehuun Samaariyaa keessa taaʼee waggaa digdamii saddeet Israaʼelin bulche.
