< 2 Kings 10 >

1 Now Ahab had seventy sons in Samaria. So Jehu wrote letters and sent them to Samaria to the officials of Jezreel, to the elders, and to the guardians of the sons of Ahab, saying:
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,
2 “When this letter arrives, since your master’s sons are with you and you have chariots and horses, a fortified city and weaponry,
“E sa ma baruwani nochopnue, nikech un gi yawuot ruodhu kod geche lweny gi farese, gi dala maduongʼ mochiel motegno kod gige lweny,
3 select the best and most worthy son of your master, set him on his father’s throne, and fight for your master’s house.”
yieruru achiel kuom yawuot ruoth mowinjore kendo ukete obed e loch wuon-gi. Bangʼ mano ikreuru mondo uked ne dhood ruodhu.”
4 But they were terrified and reasoned, “If two kings could not stand against him, how can we?”
To kihondko ne ogoyogi magiwacho niya, “Ka ruodhi pinje ariyo ne ok nyal sire, wan to bende dwasire?”
5 So the palace administrator, the overseer of the city, the elders, and the guardians sent a message to Jehu: “We are your servants, and we will do whatever you say. We will not make anyone king. Do whatever is good in your sight.”
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.”
6 Then Jehu wrote them a second letter and said: “If you are on my side, and if you will obey me, then bring the heads of your master’s sons to me at Jezreel by this time tomorrow.” Now the sons of the king, seventy in all, were being brought up by the leading men of the city.
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.
7 And when the letter arrived, they took the sons of the king and slaughtered all seventy of them. They put their heads in baskets and sent them to Jehu at Jezreel.
Kane baruwa ochopo jogi nokawo yawuot ruoth piero abiriyogo ma ginego. Negikawo wiyegi ma giketogi ei okapu kendo giterone Jehu e piny Jezreel.
8 When the messenger arrived, he told Jehu, “They have brought the heads of the sons of the king.” And Jehu ordered, “Pile them in two heaps at the entrance of the gate until morning.”
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.”
9 The next morning, Jehu went out and stood before all the people and said, “You are innocent. It was I who conspired against my master and killed him. But who killed all these?
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?
10 Know, then, that not a word the LORD has spoken against the house of Ahab will fail, for the LORD has done what He promised through His servant Elijah.”
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.”
11 So Jehu killed everyone in Jezreel who remained of the house of Ahab, as well as all his great men and close friends and priests, leaving him without a single survivor.
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.
12 Then Jehu set out toward Samaria. At Beth-eked of the Shepherds,
Eka Jehu ne owuok kochomo yo Samaria. Kane ochopo kar jokwath miluongo ni Beth Eked,
13 Jehu met some relatives of Ahaziah king of Judah and asked, “Who are you?” “We are relatives of Ahaziah,” they answered, “and we have come down to greet the sons of the king and of the queen mother.”
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.”
14 Then Jehu ordered, “Take them alive.” So his men took them alive, then slaughtered them at the well of Beth-eked—forty-two men. He spared none of them.
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.
15 When he left there, he found Jehonadab son of Rechab, who was coming to meet him. Jehu greeted him and asked, “Is your heart as true to mine as my heart is to yours?” “It is!” Jehonadab replied. “If it is,” said Jehu, “give me your hand.” So he gave him his hand, and Jehu helped him into his chariot,
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.
16 saying, “Come with me and see my zeal for the LORD!” So he had him ride in his chariot.
Jehu nowachone niya, “Bi mondo idhi koda mondo ineye kaka achiwora tiyone Jehova Nyasaye.” Eka negidhi kode koidho gache.
17 When Jehu came to Samaria, he struck down everyone belonging to Ahab who remained there, until he had destroyed them, according to the word that the LORD had spoken to Elijah.
Kane Jehu ochopo Samaria, nonego jood Ahab duto mane odongʼ, notiekogi kaluwore gi wach mane Jehova Nyasaye owachone Elija.
18 Then Jehu brought all the people together and said, “Ahab served Baal a little, but Jehu will serve him a lot.
Eka Jehu nochoko ji duto kanyakla mowachonegi niya, “Ahab ne otiyone Baal mana matin, to Jehu biro tiyone mangʼeny.
19 Now, therefore, summon to me all the prophets of Baal, all his servants, and all his priests. See that no one is missing, for I have a great sacrifice for Baal. Whoever is missing will not live.” But Jehu was acting deceptively in order to destroy the servants of Baal.
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.
20 And Jehu commanded, “Proclaim a solemn assembly for Baal.” So they announced it.
Jehu nowacho niya, “Timuru chokruok maduongʼ mar Baal.” Omiyo negilando wachno.
21 Then Jehu sent word throughout Israel, and all the servants of Baal came; there was not a man who failed to show. They entered the temple of Baal, and it was filled from end to end.
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.
22 And Jehu said to the keeper of the wardrobe, “Bring out garments for all the servants of Baal.” So he brought out garments for them.
Kendo Jehu nowachone jarit kar keno mar lewni niya, “Keluru kandhe moromo jodong Baal duto.” Omiyo nokelo kandhe moromogi duto.
23 Next, Jehu and Jehonadab son of Rechab entered the temple of Baal, and Jehu said to the servants of Baal, “Look around to see that there are no servants of the LORD here among you—only servants of Baal.”
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.”
24 And they went in to offer sacrifices and burnt offerings. Now Jehu had stationed eighty men outside and warned them, “If anyone allows one of the men I am delivering into your hands to escape, he will forfeit his life for theirs.”
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.”
25 When he had finished making the burnt offering, Jehu said to the guards and officers, “Go in and kill them. Do not let anyone out.” So the guards and officers put them to the sword, threw the bodies out, and went into the inner room of the temple of Baal.
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.
26 They brought out the sacred pillar of the temple of Baal and burned it.
Bangʼe negigolo oko kido milamo e hekalu mar Baal mi giwangʼe.
27 They also demolished the sacred pillar of Baal. Then they tore down the temple of Baal and made it into a latrine, which it is to this day.
Negitoyo kidi milamo kendo gimuko hekalu mar Baal kendo kanyo ji osebedo katiyogo kaka choo nyaka chil kawuono.
28 Thus Jehu eradicated Baal from Israel,
Omiyo Jehu noketho lamo Baal e piny Israel.
29 but he did not turn away from the sins that Jeroboam son of Nebat had caused Israel to commit—the worship of the golden calves at Bethel and Dan.
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.
30 Nevertheless, the LORD said to Jehu, “Because you have done well in carrying out what is right in My sight and have done to the house of Ahab all that was in My heart, four generations of your sons will sit on the throne of Israel.”
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.”
31 Yet Jehu was not careful to follow the instruction of the LORD, the God of Israel, with all his heart. He did not turn away from the sins that Jeroboam had caused Israel to commit.
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.
32 In those days the LORD began to reduce the size of Israel. Hazael defeated the Israelites throughout their territory
E kindeno Jehova Nyasaye nochako dwoko kwan mar jo-Israel piny, Hazael noloyo jo-Israel e pinjegi duto,
33 from the Jordan eastward through all the land of Gilead (the region of Gad, Reuben, and Manasseh), and from Aroer by the Arnon Valley through Gilead to Bashan.
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.
34 As for the rest of the acts of Jehu, along with all his accomplishments and all his might, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
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?
35 And Jehu rested with his fathers and was buried in Samaria, and his son Jehoahaz reigned in his place.
Jehu notho moyweyo gi kwerene kendo ne oike e piny Samaria mi Jehoahaz wuode nobedo ruoth kare.
36 So the duration of Jehu’s reign over Israel in Samaria was twenty-eight years.
Ndalo mane Jehu obedo gi loch e piny Israel ka en Samaria noromo higni piero ariyo gaboro.
