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:
Ary nisy zanak’ i Ahaba fito-polo lahy tany Samaria. Ary Jeho nanoratra taratasy ka nampitondra iny ho any Samaria any amin’ ny mpanapaka any Jezirela dia ho any amin’ ny loholona sy ny mpitaiza ny zanak’ i Ahaba nanao hoe:
2 “When this letter arrives, since your master’s sons are with you and you have chariots and horses, a fortified city and weaponry,
Ary raha tonga atỳ aminareo ity taratasy ity (fa ao aminareo ny zanakalahin’ ny tomponareo, ary ao aminareo ny kalesy sy ny soavaly sy ny tanàna mimanda ary ny fiadiana),
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.”
dia izahao izay tsara sy mendrika indrindra amin’ ny zanakalahin’ ny tomponareo, ary apetraho amin’ ny seza fiandrianan-drainy izy, ka miadia ary ho an’ ny mpianakavin’ ny tomponareo.
4 But they were terrified and reasoned, “If two kings could not stand against him, how can we?”
Dia raikitahotra indrindra ireo ka nifampilaza hoe: Indro ny mpanjaka roa aza tsy nahajanona teo anatrehany, ka hataontsika ahoana no fahajanona?
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.”
Ary ny lehiben’ ny tandapa sy ny mpanapaka ny tanana ary ny loholona koa sy ireo mpitaiza naniraka tany amin’ i Jeho nanao hoe: Mpanomponao izahay, koa izay rehetra andidianao anay dia hataonay; tsy hanangana andriana izahay, fa izay sitraky ny fonao ihany no ataovy.
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.
Dia nanoratra taratasy taminy indray Jeho nanao hoe: Raha ahy ary ianareo ka hankatò ny teniko, dia tapaho ny lohan’ ireo zanakalahin’ ny tomponareo, ary mankanesa atỳ amiko atỳ Jezirela rahampitso toy izao. Ary izy fito-polo lahy zanaky ny mpanjaka dia tao amin’ ireo lehiben’ ny tanàna, mpitaiza azy.
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.
Ary nony efa tonga tany amin’ ireo ny taratasy, dia naka ny zanakalahin’ ny mpanjaka izy ka namono azy fito-polo lahy, ary nataony tao an-tsobiky ny lohany ka nateriny tany amin’ i Jeho tany Jezirela.
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.”
Ary tonga ny iraka ka nanambara taminy hoe: Indro, efa nitondra ny lohan’ ny zanakalahin’ ny mpanjaka izy. Ary hoy Jeho: Ampifanongoavy ho roa toko eo anoloan’ ny vavahady mandra-pahamarain’ ny andro.
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?
Ary nony maraina, dia nivoaka Jeho ary nitsangana ka nanao tamin’ ny vahoaka rehetra hoe: Marina ianareo, indro, izaho nikomy tamin’ ny tompoko ka nahafaty azy; fa iza kosa no nahafaty ireto rehetra ireto?
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.”
Aoka ho fantatrareo ary fa tsy hisy raraka an-tany ny tenin’ i Jehovah izay nolazainy ny amin’ ny taranak’ i Ahaba; fa Jehovah efa nanao izay nampilazainy an’ i Elia mpanompony.
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.
Ka dia novonoin’ i Jeho izay sisa rehetra tamin’ ny taranak’ i Ahaba tao Jezirela sy ny olom-baventy rehetra tao aminy mbamin’ ny havany ary ny mpisorony koa, ambara-paha-tsy hisy miangana na dia iray akory aza.
12 Then Jehu set out toward Samaria. At Beth-eked of the Shepherds,
Dia niainga izy ka nankany Samaria. Ary nony mby tany an-trano fivorian’ ny mpiandry ondry tany an-dalana Jeho,
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.”
dia nifanena amin’ ny rahalahin’ i Ahazia, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, izy ka nanao hoe: Iza ange ianareo? Ary izy ireo namaly hoe: Rahalahin’ i Ahazia izahay ary midìna mba hamangy ny zanakalahin’ ny mpanjaka sy ny zanakalahin’ ny andriambavy.
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.
Ary hoy Jeho: Sambory velona ireo. Dia nosamboriny ka novonoiny teo akaikin’ ny lavaka famorian-drano tao an-trano fivoriana izy roa amby efa-polo lahy ireo, ary tsy nasiany miangana na dia iray akory aza.
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,
Ary rehefa niala teo Jeho, dia nahita an’ i Jonadaba, zanakalahin’ i Rekaba, avy manatona azy; dia niarahaba azy izy ary nanao taminy hoe: Marina va ny fonao tahaka ny foko amin’ ny fonao? Ary Jonadaba namaly hoe: Eny. Raha izany ary no izy, hoy Jeho, dia aoka isika hifandray tanana. Dia natolony ny tànany, ka nampiakarin’ i Jeho ho eo aminy teo anatin’ ny kalesy izy.
16 saying, “Come with me and see my zeal for the LORD!” So he had him ride in his chariot.
Ary hoy Jeho: Andeha hiaraka amiko, ka izahao ny zotom-poko ho an’ i Jehovah. Dia nentina teo amin’ ny kalesy izy.
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.
Ary rehefa tonga tany Samaria Jeho, dia namono izay sisa rehetra tamin’ ny tamingan’ i Ahaba tany Samaria mandra-paharingany, araka ny tenin’ i Jehovah izay nolazainy tamin’ i Elia.
18 Then Jehu brought all the people together and said, “Ahab served Baal a little, but Jehu will serve him a lot.
Ary Jeho namory ny vahoaka rehetra ka nanao taminy hoe: Ahaba nanompo an’ i Bala kelikely ihany, fa Jeho no hanompo azy fatratra.
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.
Koa ankehitriny vorio ho atỳ amiko ny mpaminanin’ i Bala rehetra, ny mpanompony rehetra sy ny mpisorony rehetra; aza avela hisy tsy ho tonga na dia iray akory aza; fa hamono zavatra betsaka ho fanatitra ho an’ i Bala aho; koa na iza na iza tsy ho tonga, dia tsy hovelomina izy. Kanjo Jeho nanao izany ho fihendrena handringanany ny mpanompon’ i Bala.
20 And Jehu commanded, “Proclaim a solemn assembly for Baal.” So they announced it.
Ary hoy Jeho: Manendre fivoriana masìna ho an’ i Bala. Koa dia nanendry andro izy.
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.
Ary Jeho naniraka tany amin’ ny Isiraely rehetra, ary dia tonga ny mpanompon’ i Bala rehetra, ka tsy nisy lehilahy tsy tonga teo na dia iray akory aza. Ary dia niditra tao an-tranon’ i Bala ireo, ka feno hika ny trano.
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.
Dia hoy Jeho tamin’ ny mpitahiry ny fitafiana: Amoahy fitafiana ny mpanompon’ i Bala rehetra. Ary dia namoaka ny fitafiana ho azy izy.
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.”
Ary Jeho sy Jonadaba, zanak’ i Rekaba, nankao an-tranon’ i Bala ka niteny tamin’ ny mpanompon’ i Bala hoe: Fantaro tsara sy izahao, fandrao misy mpanompon’ i Jehovah eto aminareo, fa tsy ny mpanompon’ i Bala ihany.
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.”
Ary nony niditra hanatitra fanatitra dorana sy fanatitra hafa alatsa-drà izy, Jeho kosa dia nametraka valo-polo lahy teo ala-trano ka nanao hoe; Raha misy afa-mandositra ny olona izay nentiko ho eto an-tananareo, izay mamela azy handeha, dia ny ainy no hisolo ny ainy.
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.
Ary rehefa vita ny nanaterany ny fanatitra dorana, dia hoy Jeho tamin’ ny mpiambina sy ny mpanafika malaza: Midìra, ka vonoy, ary aza avela hisy ho tafavoaka. Dia namely azy tamin’ ny lelan-tsabatra izy; ary ny mpiambina sy ny mpanafika malaza dia nanary ny faty ary niditra tao amin’ ny tanàna nisy ny tranon’ i Bala.
26 They brought out the sacred pillar of the temple of Baal and burned it.
Ary namoaka ny orin-kazo izay tao an-tranon’ i Bala izy ka nandoro ireny.
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.
Ary nandrava ny tsangam-baton’ i Bala sy ny tranony izy, ary dia nataony trano fivoahana mandraka androany izany.
28 Thus Jehu eradicated Baal from Israel,
Toy izany no nandravan’ i Jeho an’ i Bala tsy ho amin’ ny Isiraely.
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.
Nefa Jeho tsy dia niala tamin’ ny fahotan’ i Jeroboama, zanak’ i Nebata, izay nampanotany ny Isiraely, dia tamin’ ireo ombilahy kely volamena izay tao Betela sy Dana.
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.”
Ary hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Jeho: Satria efa nanao soa ianao tamin’ ny nanaovanao izay mahitsy eo imasoko sady efa nataonao tamin’ ny taranak’ i Ahaba araka izay rehetra tao am-poko, koa dia hitoetra amin’ ny seza fiandrianan’ ny Isiraely ny taranakao hatramin’ ny zafindohalika.
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.
Nefa Jeho tsy nitandrina handeha amin’ ny lalàn’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, amin’ ny fony rehetra; fa tsy niala tamin’ ny fahotan’ i Jeroboama izay nampanotany ny Isiraely izy.
32 In those days the LORD began to reduce the size of Israel. Hazael defeated the Israelites throughout their territory
Tamin’ izany andro izany no niantombohan’ ny nanakelezan’ i Jehovah ny Isiraely; fa Hazaela namely azy tamin’ ny sisin-tanin’ ny Isiraely rehetra
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.
hatrany Jordana no ho miantsinanana, dia ny tany Gileada rehetra, ny Gadita sy ny Robenita ary ny Manasita, hatrany Aroera, izay eo amoron’ ny lohasahan-driaka Arnona, dia Gileada sy Basana.
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?
Ary ny tantaran’ i Jeho sisa mbamin’ izay rehetra nataony ary ny heriny rehetra, tsy efa voasoratra ao amin’ ny bokin’ ny tantaran’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely va izany?
35 And Jehu rested with his fathers and was buried in Samaria, and his son Jehoahaz reigned in his place.
Ary Jeho lasa nodi-mandry any amin’ ny razany, dia nalevina tao Samaria izy. Ary Joahaza zanany no nanjaka nandimby azy.
36 So the duration of Jehu’s reign over Israel in Samaria was twenty-eight years.
Ary ny andro izay nanjakan’ i Jeho tamin’ ny Isiraely tao Samaria dia valo amby roa-polo taona.
