2 Kings 10

1 Now Ahab had seventy sons in Samaria. And Jehu wrote letters, and sent to Samaria, unto the rulers of Jezreel, even the elders, and unto them that brought up the sons of Ahab, saying:

Na e whitu tekau nga tama a Ahapa i Hamaria. Na ka tuhituhi pukapuka a Iehu, a unga ana e ia kia kawea ki Hamaria ki nga rangatira o Ietereere, ara ki nga kaumatua, a ki nga tangata nana i atawhai nga tama a Ahapa; i mea ia,

2 'And now as soon as this letter cometh to you, seeing your master's sons are with you, and there are with you chariots and horses, fortified cities also, and armour;

Na aianei, i te taenga atu ano o tenei pukapuka ki a koutou, i te mea kei a koutou na nga tama a to tatou ariki, a kei a koutou nga hariata me nga hoiho, me te pa kua oti te taiepa, me nga mea whawhai;

3 look ye out the best and meetest of your master's sons, and set him on his father's throne, and fight for your master's house.'

Tirohia e koutou te tangata pai, te tangata tika rawa o nga tama a to koutu ariki, ka whakanoho i a ia ki te torona o tona papa, ka whawhai mo te whare o to koutou ariki.

4 But they were exceedingly afraid, and said: 'Behold, the two kings stood not before him; how then shall we stand?'

Otiia i tino nui to ratou wehi, i mea hoki, Nana, kihai nga kingi tokorua ra i tu ki tona aroaro; na me pehea tatou ka tu ai?

5 And he that was over the household, and he that was over the city, the elders also, and they that brought up the children, sent to Jehu, saying: 'We are thy servants, and will do all that thou shalt bid us; we will not make any man king; do thou that which is good in thine eyes.'

Na ka unga tangata te rangatira o te whare, me te rangatira o te pa, nga kaumatua hoki, me te hunga nana i atawahi nga tamariki, ki a Iehu, hei mea, Ko matou nga mea katoa e whakahaua mai e koe; e kore matou e whakakingi i tetahi: mau e mea ta to u kanohi i whakapai ai.

6 Then he wrote a letter the second time to them, saying: 'If ye be on my side, and if ye will hearken unto my voice, take ye the heads of the men your master's sons, and come to me to Jezreel by to-morrow this time.' Now the king's sons, being seventy persons, were with the great men of the city, who brought them up.

Na ka tuhituhi pukapuka ano ia ki a ratou, ka mea, Ki te mea kei ahau koutou, a ka rongo koutou ki toku reo, tangohia nga upoko o aua tangata, o nga tama a to koutou ariki, ka haere mai ki ahau ki Ietereere i tenei takiwa apopo. Na, ko nga tama a te kingi, ko tona whitu tekau tangata, i nga tangata nunui o te pa, nana ra ratou i whakatuputupu.

7 And it came to pass, when the letter came to them, that they took the king's sons, and slew them, even seventy persons, and put their heads in baskets, and sent them unto him to Jezreel.

Na, i te taenga o taua pukapuka ki a ratou, ka mau ratou ki nga tama a te kingi, a patua iho, ara te whitu tekau tangata, whaowhina ano o ratou upoko ki te kete, a tukua ana ratou ki a ia ki Ietereere.

8 And there came a messenger, 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.'

Na ka tae mai tetahi karere, ka korero kia i ai, Kua kawea mai e ratou nga upoko o nga tama a te kingi. Ano ra ko ia, Whakatakotoria kia rua nga puranga i te tomokanga o te kuwaha, a te ata ra ano.

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 slew him; but who smote all these?

Na i te ata ka puta ia ki waho, ka tu, ka korero ki te iwi katoa, He tika koutou: nana, i whakatupu ahau i te he mo toku ariki, a patua iho ia e ahau: engari na wai enei katoa i whakamate?

10 Know now that there shall fall unto the earth nothing of the word of the LORD, which the LORD spoke concerning the house of Ahab; for the LORD hath done that which He spoke by His servant Elijah.'

Na kia mohio, e kore e taka ki te whenua tetahi wahi o te kupu a Ihowa, i korero ai a Ihowa mo te whare o Ahapa: kua tutuki hoki i a Ihowa tana i korero ai, na tana pononga na Iraia.

11 So Jehu smote all that remained of the house of Ahab in Jezreel, and all his great men, and his familiar friends, and his priests, until there was left him none remaining.

Heoi patua ana e Iehu nga morehu katoa o te whare o Ahapa i Ietereere, ana tangata rarahi, ona hoa i matatau ai ia, me ana tohunga; a kore noa iho tetahi morehu ona i waiho e ia.

12 And he arose and departed, and went to Samaria. And as he was at the shearing-house of the shepherds in the way,

Na whakatika ana ia, turia atu ana, a haere ana ki Hamaria. A i a ia i te whare kutikuti o nga hepara i te ara,

13 Jehu met with the brethren of Ahaziah king of Judah, and said: 'Who are ye?' And they answered: 'We are the brethren of Ahaziah; and we go down to salute the children of the king and the children of the queen.'

Ka tutaki a Iehu ki nga teina o Ahatia kingi o Hura, a ka mea, Ko wai koutou? Ano ra ko ratou, He teina matou no Ahatia: a e haere ana matou ki raro, ki te oha ki nga tama a te kingi, ki nga tama hoki a te kuini.

14 And he said: 'Take them alive.' And they took them alive, and slew them at the pit of the shearing-house, even two and forty men; neither left he any of them.

Ano ra ko ia, Hopukia oratia ratou. Na hopukia oratia ana e ratou, a patua iho ki te rua i te whare kutikuti hipi, tona wha tekau ma rua tangata; kihai hoki tetahi o ratou i waiho e ia.

15 And when he was departed thence, he lighted 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, said Jehu, give me thy hand.' And he gave him his hand; and he took him up to him into the chariot.

Na, i tona haerenga atu i reira, ka tupono ia ki a Ionarapa, ki te tama a Rekapa, e haere ana mai ki te whakatau i a ia: heoi ka oha ki a ia, ka mea ki a ia, Kei te tika ranei tou ngakau, kei te rite ranei ki toku ngakau e mea nei ki tou ngakau? Ano ra ko Ionarapa, Kei te pena. Ki te mea ko te tikanga tena, homai tou ringa ki ahau. Na hoatu ana e ia tona ringa; a ka meinga e tera kia eke ki a ia ki runga ki te hariata.

16 And he said: 'Come with me, and see my zeal for the LORD.' So they made him ride in his chariot.

Na ka mea tera, Haere mai taua, kia kite ai koe i toku ngakau nui ki a Ihowa. Heoi ka meinga ia kia rere i runga i tona hariata.

17 And when he came to Samaria, he smote all that remained unto Ahab in Samaria, till he had destroyed him, according to the word of the LORD, which He spoke to Elijah.

A, i tona taenga ki Hamaria, patua iho e ia te hunga katoa o Ahapa i mahue ki Hamaria, a poto noa ia i a ia; peratia ana me ta Ihowa kupu i korero ai ki a Iraia.

18 And Jehu gathered all the people together, and said unto them: 'Ahab served Baal a little; but Jehu will serve him much.

Na ka huihuia te iwi katoa e Iehu, ka mea ia ki a ratou, He iti ta Ahapa mahi ki a Paara; ka nui atu ia ta Iehu mahi ki a ia.

19 Now therefore call unto me all the prophets of Baal, all his worshippers, and all his priests, let none be wanting; for I have a great sacrifice to do to Baal; whosoever shall be wanting, he shall not live.' But Jehu did it in subtlety, to the intent that he might destroy the worshippers of Baal.

Na karangatia aianei ki ahau nga poropiti katoa a Paara, ana tangata katoa, me ana tohunga katoa; kei ngaro tetahi: he whakahere nui hoki taku ki a Paara; ko te tangata e ngaro atu ana, e kore e ora. Otiia he mahi murere ta Iehu, kia whakangarom ia ai e ia nga tangata a Paara.

20 And Jehu said: 'Sanctify a solemn assembly for Baal.' And they proclaimed it.

Na ka mea a Iehu, Whakatapua he huihui nui ki a Paara. Na karangatia ana e ratou.

21 And Jehu sent through all Israel; and all the worshippers of Baal came, so that there was not a man left that came not. And they came into the house of Baal; and the house of Baal was filled from one end to another.

Na ka unga tangata a Iehu puta noa i a Iharaira: a haere katoa mai ana nga tangata a Paara, kihai tetahi tangata i mahue, i kore te haere mai. Na haere ana ratou ki te whare o Paara, a kiki ana te whare o Paara i tetahi pito ki tetahi.

22 And he said unto him that was over the vestry: 'Bring forth vestments for all the worshippers of Baal.' And he brought them forth vestments.

Na ka mea atu ia ki te kaitiaki kakahu, Mauria mai he kakahu mo nga tangata katoa a Paara. Na mauria ana mai e ia he kakahu mo ratou.

23 And Jehu went, and Jehonadab the son of Rechab, into the house of Baal; and he said unto the worshippers of Baal: 'Search, and look that there be here with you none of the servants of the LORD, but the worshippers of Baal only.'

Na haere ana a Iehu raua ko Ionarapa tama a Rekapa ki te whare o Paara; a ka mea atu ia ki nga tangata a Paara, Rapua, tirohia, kei noho ki konei ki a koutou tetahi o nga tangata a Ihowa, engari ko nga tangata anake a Paara.

24 And they went in to offer sacrifices and burnt-offerings. Now Jehu had appointed him fourscore men without, and said: 'If any of the men whom I bring into your hands escape, his life shall be for the life of him.'

Na haere ana ratou ki te mea i nga whakahere, i nga tahunga tinana. Na, tera kua whakaritea e Iehu ki waho etahi tangata mana, e waru tekau, a i mea ia, Ki te puta tetahi o nga tangata i kawea mai nei e ahau ki o koutou ringa, ko te tangata nana ia i tuku, ko tona matenga hei utu mo to tera matenga.

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 slay 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.

Na, i te mutunga o tana whakahere i te tahunga tinana, ka mea a Iehu ki nga kaitiaki ratou ko nga rangatira, Haere ki roto, patua ratou; kei puta tetahi ki waho. Na patu iho e ratou ki te mata o te hoari; a maka ana ratou e nga kaitiaki ratou ko nga rangatira ki waho, a haere ana ratou ki te pa o te whare o Paara.

26 And they brought forth the pillars that were in the house of Baal, and burned them.

Na whakaputaina ana e ratou nga whakapakoko o te whare o Paara, a tahuna ana ki te ahi.

27 And they broke down the pillar of Baal, and broke down the house of Baal, and made it a draught-house, unto this day.

I wahia hoki e ratou te whakapakoko o Paara, i wahia ano te whare o Paara, a meinga ana hei whare paru a tae noa ki tenei ra.

28 Thus Jehu destroyed Baal out of Israel.

Ko te whakamotitanga tenei a Iehu i a Paara i roto i a Iharaira.

29 Howbeit from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, wherewith he made Israel to sin, Jehu departed not from after them, the golden calves that were in Beth-el, and that were in Dan.

Ko nga hara ia o Ieropoama tama a Nepata i hara ai a Iharaira, kihai era i mahue i a Iehu te whai, ara nga kuao kau koura i Peteere, i Rana.

30 And the LORD said unto Jehu: 'Because thou hast done well in executing that which is right in Mine eyes, and hast done unto 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.'

Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Iehu, Kua pai nei tau, kua mahia e koe te tika ki toku aroaro, a kua meatia e koe ki te whare o Ahapa rite tonu ki nga mea katoa i toku ngakau, na e wha nga whakatupuranga o au tama e noho ki te torona o Iharaira.

31 But Jehu took no heed to walk in the law of the LORD, the God of Israel, with all his heart; he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam, wherewith he made Israel to sin.

Otiia kihai a Iehu i aro nui ki te haere i runga i te ture a Ihowa, a te Atua o Iharaira, kihai i mahue i a ia nga hara o Ieropoama i hara ai a Iharaira.

32 In those days the LORD began to cut Israel short; and Hazael smote them in all the borders of Israel:

I aua ra ka timata a Ihowa te tapahi i nga taha o Iharaira: i patua hoki ratou e Hataere i nga rohe katoa o Iharaira;

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 Arnon, even Gilead and Bashan.

I Horano atu whaka te rawhiti, ko te whenua katoa o Kireara, ko nga Kari, ko nga Reupeni, ko nga Manahi; i Aroere atu, i te awa o Aranono, ara a Kireara, a Pahana.

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?

Na, ko era atu meatanga a Iehu me ana mahi katoa, me ana mahi toa katoa, kahore ianei i tuhituhia ki te pukapuka o nga meatanga o nga ra o nga kingi o Iharaira?

35 And Jehu slept with his fathers; and they buried him in Samaria. And Jehoahaz his son reigned in his stead.

Na ka moe a Iehu ki ona matua, a tanumia iho ki Hamaria. A ko tana tama, ko Iehoahata te kingi i muri i a ia.

36 And the time that Jehu reigned over Israel in Samaria was twenty and eight years.

A ko nga ra i kingi ai a Iehu ki a Iharaira i Hamaria e rua tekau ma waru nga tau.
