2 Kings 10

1 Ahab had nowe seuentie sonnes in Samaria. And Iehu wrote letters, and sent to Samaria vnto the rulers of Izreel, and to the Elders, and to the bringers vp of Ahabs children, to this effect,

Pea naʻe maʻu ʻe ʻEhapi ʻae foha ʻe toko fitungofulu ʻi Samēlia. Pea naʻe fai ʻe Sehu ʻae ngaahi tohi, mo ne ʻave ki Samēlia, ki he kau pule ʻi Sesilili, pea ki he kau mātuʻa, pea kiate kinautolu naʻa nau tauhi ki he fānau ʻa ʻEhapi, ʻo pehē,

2 Nowe when this letter commeth to you, (for ye haue with you your masters sonnes, yee haue with you both charets and horses, and a defenced citie, and armour)

“Ko eni ka mou ka maʻu leva ʻae tohi ni, ka kuo ʻiate kimoutolu ʻae ngaahi foha ʻo homou ʻeiki, pea ʻoku mou maʻu ʻae ngaahi saliote mo e ngaahi hoosi, mo e kolo tau foki, pea mo e mahafu;

3 Consider therefore which of your masters sonnes is best and most meete, and set him on his fathers throne, and fight for your masters house.

Fili mai ʻaia ʻoku lelei hake mo ngali ʻi he ngaahi foha ʻo homou ʻeiki, pea fakanofo ia ki he nofoʻa fakatuʻi ʻo ʻene tamai, pea mou tau maʻae fale ʻo homou ʻeiki.”

4 But they were exceedingly afraid, and saide, Behold two Kings coulde not stande before him, how shall we then stand?

Ka naʻa nau manavahē lahi ʻaupito, ʻonau pehē, “Vakai naʻe ʻikai faʻa tuʻu ʻi hono ʻao ʻae tuʻi ʻe toko ua: pea kapau kuo pehē te tau faʻa tuʻu fēfē ʻakitautolu?”

5 And he that was gouernour of Ahabs house, and he that ruled the citie, and the Elders, and the bringers vp of the children sent to Iehu, saying, We are thy seruants, and will doe all that thou shalt bid vs: we will make no King: do what seemeth good to thee.

Pea ko e tangata ʻaia naʻe pule ki he fale, pea mo ia naʻe pule ki he kolo, mo e kau mātuʻa foki, pea mo kinautolu naʻe tauhi [ʻae fānau], naʻa nau fekau atu kia Sehu, ʻo pehē, “Ko hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki ʻakimautolu, pea te mau fai ʻae meʻa kotoa pē te ke fekau mai; ʻe ʻikai te mau fakanofo ha tuʻi: ka ke fai ʻaia ʻoku lelei ʻi ho mata ʻoʻou.”

6 Then he wrote another letter to them, saying, If ye be mine, and wil obey my voyce, take the heads of ye men that are your masters sonnes, and come to me to Izreel by to morowe this time. (Nowe the Kings sonnes, euen seuentie persons were with the great men of the citie, which brought them vp)

Pea naʻa ne toki tohi ʻa hono ua ʻoe tohi kiate kinautolu, ʻo pehē, “Kapau ʻoku mou kau kiate au, pea kapau te mou fakaongo ki hoku leʻo, mou tutuʻu ʻae ʻulu ʻoe kau tangata, ʻio, ʻae ngaahi foha ʻo homou ʻeiki, pea mou omi kiate au ki Sesilili ʻi he feituʻulaʻā ni ʻapongipongi.” Ka ko eni, ko e ngaahi foha ʻoe tuʻi, ko e toko fitungofulu, naʻa nau nofo mo e houʻeiki ʻoe kolo, ʻaia naʻe tauhi ʻakinautolu.

7 And when the letter came to them, they tooke the Kings sonnes, and slewe the seuentie persons, and layde their heads in baskets, and sent them vnto him to Izreel.

Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻene hoko mai ʻae tohi kiate kinautolu, naʻa nau ʻave ʻae ngaahi foha ʻoe tuʻi, mo nau tāmateʻi ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko fitungofulu, mo nau ʻai honau ʻulu ki he ngaahi kato, mo nau ʻave ia kiate ia ʻi Sesilili.

8 Then there came a messenger and tolde him, saying, They haue brought the heads of the Kings sonnes. And he sayd, Let them lay them on two heapes at the entring in of the gate vntil the morning.

Pea naʻe haʻu ha tangata fekau, mo ne fakahā ki ai, ʻo pehē, “Kuo nau ʻomi ʻae ngaahi ʻulu ʻoe ngaahi foha ʻoe tuʻi.” Pea naʻa ne pehē, “Mou fokotuʻu ia ʻi he tuʻunga ʻe ua ʻi he hūʻanga ʻoe matanikolo ʻo aʻu ki he ʻapongipongi.”

9 And when it was day, he went out, and stood and sayd to all the people, Ye be righteous: behold, I conspired against my master, and slew him: but who slew all these?

Pea ʻi heʻene hoko ki he pongipongi, naʻa ne ʻalu atu, mo ne tuʻu ai, mo ne pehē ʻe ia ki he kakai kotoa pē, “ʻOku mou angatonu ʻakimoutolu; vakai naʻaku fai ʻae lapa ki heʻeku ʻeiki pea naʻaku tāmateʻi ia: ka ko hai naʻe tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu ni kotoa pē?

10 Knowe nowe that there shall fall vnto the earth nothing of the word of the Lord, which the Lord spake concerning the house of Ahab: for the Lord hath brought to passe the things that hee spake by his seruant Eliiah.

Ko ia mou ʻilo eni ʻe ʻikai tō ki he kelekele ha momoʻi meʻa ʻi he folofola ʻa Sihova ʻaia naʻe folofolaʻaki ʻe Sihova ki he fale ʻo ʻEhapi: he kuo fai ʻe Sihova ʻae meʻa naʻa ne folofolaʻaki ʻi heʻene tamaioʻeiki ko ʻIlaisiā.”

11 So Iehu slew al that remained of the house of Ahab in Izreel, and all that were great with him, and his familiars and his priestes, so that he let none of his remaine.

Ko ia, naʻe tāmateʻi ʻe Sehu ʻakinautolu kotoa pē naʻe toe ʻi he fale ʻo ʻEhapi ʻi Sesilili, pea mo ʻene kakai ongoongo kotoa pē, pea mo hono kāinga, mo ʻene kautaulaʻeiki, pea naʻe ʻikai te ne tuku ke toe ha tokotaha kiate ia.

12 And he arose, and departed and came to Samaria. And as Iehu was in the way by an house where the shepheards did shere,

Pea naʻa ne tuʻu hake ʻo ne ʻalu, pea ne hoko ange ki Samēlia. Pea ʻi heʻene nofo ki he fale, ko e kosi ʻanga ʻoe fanga sipi, ʻi he hala,

13 He met with the brethre of Ahaziah king of Iudah, and sayd, Who are ye? And they answered, We are the brethren of Ahaziah, and goe downe to salute the children of the King and the children of the Queene.

Naʻe fetaulaki ʻa Sehu mo e kāinga ʻo ʻAhasia ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, ʻo ne pehē, “Ko hai ʻakimoutolu?” Pea naʻa nau pehēange, “Ko e kāinga ʻakimautolu ʻo ʻAhasia; pea ʻoku mau ʻalu hifo ke ʻaʻahi fakakāinga ki he fānau ʻae tuʻi mo e fānau ʻae tuʻi fefine.”

14 And he sayde, Take them aliue. And they tooke them aliue, and slew them at the well beside the house where the sheepe are shorne, euen two and fourtie men, and he left not one of them.

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Puke moʻui ʻakinautolu.” Pea naʻa nau puke moʻui pe ʻakinautolu, mo nau tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi he ngutu luo ʻi he fale ʻoe kosi ʻanga sipi, ʻio, ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko fāngofulu ma toko ua; pea naʻe ʻikai te ne tuku foki ha taha ʻokinautolu.

15 And when he was departed thence, hee met with Iehonadab the sonne of Rechab comming to meete him, and he blessed him, and sayde to him, Is thine heart vpright, as mine heart is towarde thine? And Iehonadab answered, Yea, doubtlesse. Then giue me thine hande. And when he had giuen him his hande, he tooke him vp to him into the charet.

Pea ʻi heʻene mahuʻi atu mei he potu ko ia, naʻa ne ʻilo ʻa Sonatapi ko e foha ʻo Lekapi naʻe fakafetaulaki mai kiate ia: pea naʻa ne fetapa ki ai, mo ne pehē kiate ia, “ʻOku angatonu ho loto, ʻo hangē ko e kau ʻa hoku loto mo ho loto?” Pea naʻe pehēange ʻe Sonatapi, “ʻIo, ʻoku pehē.” “Kapau ʻoku pehē, tuku mai ho nima.” Pea naʻa ne tuku atu kiate ia ʻa hono nima; pea naʻa ne toʻo hake ia kiate ia ʻi he saliote.

16 And he sayde, Come with me, and see the zeale that I haue for the Lord: so they made him ride in his charet.

Pea naʻa ne pehē, Ke ta ō mo au, pea ke mamata ki heʻeku fai velenga koeʻuhi ko Sihova.” Pea pehē, naʻa nau puleʻi ia ke ne heka ki hono saliote.

17 And when he came to Samaria, he slew all that remained vnto Ahab in Samaria, till he had destroyed him, according to the worde of the Lord, which he spake to Eliiah.

Pea ʻi heʻene hoko atu ki Samēlia, naʻa ne tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu kotoa pē naʻe kei toe kia ʻEhapi ʻi Samēlia, koeʻuhi ke ne fakaʻauha ia, ʻo hangē ko e folofola ʻa Sihova, ʻaia naʻa ne folofolaʻaki kia ʻIlaisiā.

18 Then Iehu assembled all the people, and sayd vnto them, Ahab serued Baal a litle, but Iehu shall serue him much more.

Pea naʻe tānaki ʻe Sehu ke fakataha ʻae kakai kotoa pē, mo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Naʻe tauhi siʻi pe ʻa ʻEhapi kia Peali; ka ʻe lahi ʻaupito ʻae tauhi kiate ia ʻa Sehu.

19 Now therefore call vnto me all ye prophets of Baal, all his seruants, and all his priests, and let not a man be lacking: for I haue a great sacrifice for Baal: whosoeuer is lacking, he shall not liue. But Iehu did it by a subtiltie to destroy ye seruats of Baal.

Ko ia foki, mou ui mai kiate au ʻae kau palōfita kotoa pē ʻo Peali, ʻa ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki kotoa pē, pea mo ʻene kautaulaʻeiki kotoa pē; ʻoua naʻa hala ʻi ha tokotaha: he ʻoku ai ʻa ʻeku feilaulau lahi ke u ʻatu kia Peali; ʻilonga pe ia ʻe toe, ʻe ʻikai siʻi te ne moʻui.” Ka naʻe fai eni ʻe Sehu ʻi he kākā, ko e meʻa ke ne fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu naʻe lotu kia Peali.

20 And Iehu sayd, Proclaime a solemne assemblie for Baal. And they proclaimed it.

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sehu, “Fanongonongo ha kātoanga mamalu kia Peali.” Pea naʻa nau fanongonongo ia.

21 So Iehu sent vnto all Israel, and all the seruants of Baal came, and there was not a man left that came not. And they came into the house of Baal, and the house of Baal was full from ende to ende.

Pea naʻe fekau atu ʻe Sehu ki ʻIsileli kātoa: pea naʻe haʻu ʻae kakai kotoa pē naʻe lotu kia Peali, ko ia naʻe ʻikai ha tangata ʻe tokotaha naʻe taʻehaʻu. Pea naʻa nau omi ki he fale ʻo Peali; pea naʻe fonu ʻaupito ʻae fale ʻo Peali mei hono tā ʻe taha ʻo aʻu ki hono tā ʻe taha.

22 Then he said vnto him that had the charge of the vestrie, Bring forth vestments for al the seruants of Baal. And he brought the out vestments.

Pea naʻa ne pehē kiate ia naʻe tauhi ki he fale tukunga kofu, ʻOmi kituʻa ʻae ngaahi kofu maʻanautolu ʻoku lotu kia Peali. Pea naʻa ne fetuku mai ʻae ngaahi kofu kiate kinautolu.

23 And when Iehu went, and Iehonadab the sonne of Rechab into the house of Baal, he sayde vnto the seruants of Baal, Searche diligently, and looke, lest there be here with you any of the seruants of the Lord, but the seruants of Baal only.

Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Sehu, mo Sonatapi ko e foha ʻo Lekapi, ki he loto fale ʻo Peali, ʻo na pehē ki he kakai naʻe lotu kia Peali, “Mou kumi, pea vakai ke ʻoua naʻa ʻi heni mo kimoutolu ha taha ʻi he kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa Sihova, ka ko e kau lotu pe ʻo Peali.”

24 And when they went in to make sacrifice and burnt offering, Iehu appoynted foure score men without, and sayd, If any of the men whome I haue brought into your hands, escape, his soule shalbe for his soule.

Pea ʻi heʻenau hū ange ke ʻatu ʻae ngaahi feilaulau mo e ngaahi feilaulau tutu, naʻe fekauʻi ʻe Sehu ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko valungofulu ke tuʻu mei tuʻafale, mo ne pehē, “Kapau ʻe hao ha tokotaha ʻoe kau tangata kuo u tuku ki homou nima, ʻe totongiʻaki ʻae moʻui ʻaʻana, ʻe he moʻui ʻaʻana [kuo tuku ia ke hao].”

25 And when hee had made an ende of the burnt offring, Iehu sayde to the garde, and to the captaines, Goe in, slay them, let not a man come out. And they smote them with the edge of the sworde. And the garde, and the captaines cast them out, and went vnto the citie, where was the temple of Baal.

Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻene fakaʻosi leva ʻe ia ʻae ʻohake ʻoe feilaulau tutu, naʻe pehē ai ʻe Sehu ki he kau leʻo pea mo e ngaahi ʻeikitau, “Mou hū ange ki loto fale, mo tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu; ke ʻoua naʻa hao mai ha tokotaha.” Pea naʻa nau taaʻi ʻaki kinautolu ʻae mata ʻoe heletā; pea naʻe laku kituʻa ʻakinautolu ʻe he kau tangata leʻo pea mo e ngaahi ʻeikitau, mo nau ʻalu ki he kolo ʻoe fale ʻo Peali.

26 And they brought out the images of the temple of Baal, and burnt them.

Pea naʻa nau ʻomi kituʻa ʻae ngaahi tamapua mei he fale ʻo Peali, mo nau tutu ʻakinautolu.

27 And they destroyed the image of Baal, and threwe downe the house of Baal, and made a iakes of it vnto this day.

Pea naʻa nau maumauʻi hifo ʻae fakatātā ʻo Peali, mo nau maumauʻi hifo ʻae fale ʻo Peali, mo ngaohi ia ko e falevao ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni.

28 So Iehu destroyed Baal out of Israel.

Naʻe pehē ʻae fakaʻauha ʻe Sehu ʻa Peali mei ʻIsileli.

29 But from the sinnes of Ieroboam the sonne of Nebat which made Israel to sinne, Iehu departed not from them, neither from the golden calues that were in Beth-el and that were in Dan.

Ka neongo eni naʻe ʻikai tafoki ʻa Sehu mei he ngaahi angahala ʻa Selopoami ko e foha ʻo Nipati ʻaia naʻa ne fakaangahalaʻi ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻio, ʻae ngaahi fakatātā ʻoe ʻuhikiʻi pulu koula ʻaia naʻe ʻi Peteli pea mo Tani.

30 And the Lord sayde vnto Iehu, Because thou hast diligently executed that which was right in mine eyes, and hast done vnto the house of Ahab according to all things that were in mine heart, therefore shall thy sonnes vnto the fourth generation sit on the throne of Israel.

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kia Sehu, “Koeʻuhi kuo ke fai lelei ʻi hoʻo fai ʻaia ʻoku totonu ʻi hoku ʻao, pea kuo ke fai ki he fale ʻo ʻEhapi ʻo fakatatau mo ia kotoa pē naʻaku finangalo ki ai, ʻe nofo ʻa hoʻo fānau ki he nofoʻa fakatuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli ʻo aʻu ki hono fā ʻoe toʻutangata.”

31 But Iehu regarded not to walke in the law of the Lord God of Israel with all his heart: for hee departed not from the sinnes of Ieroboam, which made Israel to sinne.

Ka naʻe ʻikai tokanga ʻa Sehu ke ne ʻeveʻeva ʻi he fono ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli ʻaki ʻa hono loto kātoa: he naʻe ʻikai liliu ia mei he ngaahi angahala ʻa Selopoami, ʻaia naʻe fakaangahalaʻi ʻa ʻIsileli.

32 In those dayes the Lord began to lothe Israel, and Hazael smote them in all the coastes of Israel,

ʻI he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia naʻe kamata motuhi ʻa ʻIsileli ʻe Sihova ʻi hono potu kotoa pē: pea naʻe teʻia ʻakinautolu ʻe Hasaeli ʻi he ngaahi mata fonua kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli;

33 From Iorden Eastward, euen all the land of Gilead, the Gadites, and the Reubenites, and them that were of Manasseh, from Aroer (which is by the riuer Arnon) and Gilead and Bashan.

Mei Sioatani ʻo fai ki hahake, ʻae fonua kotoa pē ʻo Kiliati, mo e kakai Kata, mo e kakai Lupeni, mo e kakai Manase, mei ʻAloeli, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he veʻe vaitafe ʻo ʻAlanoni, ʻio, ʻo aʻu ki Kiliati pea mo Pesani.

34 Concerning the rest of the actes of Iehu, and all that he did, and all his valiant deedes, are they not written in the booke of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?

Pea ko eni, ko hono toe ʻoe ngaahi ngāue ʻa Sehu, mo ia kotoa pē naʻa ne fai, pea mo ʻene mālohi lahi, ʻikai kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi fakamatala ki he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli?

35 And Iehu slept with his fathers, and they buryed him in Samaria, and Iehoahaz his sonne reigned in his stead.

Pea naʻe mohe ʻa Sehu mo ʻene ngaahi tamai: pea naʻa nau fai hono putu ʻi Samēlia. Pea naʻe fetongi ia ʻi he pule ʻe Sihoaasi ko hono foha.

36 And the time that Iehu reigned ouer Israel in Samaria is eight and twentie yeeres.

Pea ko e ngaahi ʻaho naʻe pule ai ʻa Sehu ki ʻIsileli ʻi Samēlia, ko e taʻu ʻe uofulu ma valu.
