Kings IV 10
1 And Achaab [had] seventy sons in Samaria. And Ju wrote a letter, and sent it into Samaria to the rulers of Samaria, and to the elders, and to the guardians of [the children of] Achaab, saying.
Ugbu a, e nwere ụmụ Ehab ndị ikom ọnụọgụgụ ha dị iri asaa ndị nọ na Sameria, Jehu dere akwụkwọ ozi ziga Sameria, zigara ndịisi obodo Jezril, zigakwara ndị okenye na ndị na-elekọta ụmụ Ehab ndị ahụ. Ọ sịrị,
2 Now then, as soon as this letter shall have reached you, whereas [there are] with you the sons of your master, and with you chariots and horses, and strong cities, and arms,
“Ugbu a, mgbe akwụkwọ a rutere unu aka, ebe unu na ụmụ ndị ikom nna unu ukwu nọ, ebe unu nwekwara ụgbọ agha na ịnyịnya, na obodo e wusiri ike na ngwa agha,
3 do you accordingly look out the best and fit among your master's sons, and set him on the throne of his father, and fight for the house of your master.
họpụtanụ onye kachasị inwe ugwu ma kwesikwa nʼime ụmụ ndị ikom nna unu ukwu, mee ka ọ nọkwasị nʼocheeze nna ya. Mgbe ahụ, buo agha chebe ụlọ nna unu ukwu.”
4 And they feared greatly, and said, Behold, two kings stood not before him: and how shall we stand?
Ma ha tụrụ egwu nʼebe ọ dị ukwuu, sị, “Lee, eze abụọ enweghị ike iguzogide ya, anyị onwe anyị ga-esi aṅaa guzogide ya?”
5 So they that were over the house, and they that were over the city, and the elders and the guardians, sent to Ju, saying, We also [are] your servants, and whatever you shall say to us we will do; we will not make [any] man king: we will do that which is right in your eyes.
Ya mere, onye ọ dị nʼaka ilekọta ezinaụlọ eze, onyeisi obodo, ndị okenye na ndị niile na-elekọta ụmụ Ehab, dere akwụkwọ a zigara Jehu, sị ya, “Jehu, anyị niile bụ ndị ohu gị. Anyị jikeere ime ihe niile i gwara anyị. Anyị agaghị ahọpụta onye ọbụla dịka eze; gị onwe gị mee ihe ọbụla ị chere na ọ bụ ya kachasị mma.”
6 And Ju wrote them a second letter, saying, If you [are] for me, and listen to my voice, take the heads of the men your master's sons, and bring [them] to me at this time to-morrow in Jezrael. Now the sons of the king were seventy men; these great men of the city brought them up.
Mgbe ahụ, Jehu degaara ha akwụkwọ nke ugboro abụọ sị ha, “Ọ bụrụ na unu dịnyeere m, ọ bụrụkwa na unu ga-erube isi nye m, chịrịnụ isi ụmụ ndị ikom nna unu ukwu, bịakwute m nʼotu oge a echi na Jezril.” Nʼoge ahụ, ụmụ eze iri ndị ikom asaa nọ nʼaka ndịisi obodo ahụ, ndị na-azụlite ha.
7 And it came to pass, when the letter came to them, that they took the king's sons, and killed them, [even] seventy men, and put their heads in baskets, and sent them to him at Jezrael.
Mgbe akwụkwọ ozi ahụ rutere ha, ndị ikom ahụ kpọrọ ụmụ ndị ikom eze dị iri asaa nʼọnụọgụgụ gbuo ha niile, chịrị isi ha tinye na nkata zigara ya Jehu na Jezril.
8 And a messenger came and told [him], saying, They have brought the heads of the king's sons. And he said, Lay them [in] two heaps by the door of the gate until the morning.
Mgbe onyeozi bịarutere, ọ gwara Jehu sị, “Ha ebutala isi ụmụ ndị ikom eze.” Mgbe ahụ, Jehu nyere iwu sị, “Tụkọbanụ ha ọnụ nʼoke abụọ, nʼọnụ ụzọ e si abata obodo, tutu ruo ụtụtụ.”
9 And the morning came, and he went forth, 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?
Nʼụtụtụ ya, Jehu pụrụ, guzoro nʼihu ndị niile gbakọrọ nʼebe ahụ gwa ha okwu sị, “Ndị Izrel, unu bụ ndị ezi omume. Ọ bụ mụ onwe m gbara izu ọjọọ megide nna m ukwu, gbuo ya, ma onye gburu ndị a niile?
10 See now that there shall not fall to the ground anything of the word of the Lord which the Lord spoke against the house of Achaab: for the Lord has performed all that he spoke of by the hand of his servant Eliu.
Matanụ nke ọma na o nweghị okwu ọbụla Onyenwe anyị kwuru megide ezinaụlọ Ehab nke na-agaghị emezu. Onyenwe anyị emeela ihe o kwere nkwa na ọ ga-eme site nʼọnụ ohu ya Ịlaịja.”
11 And Ju struck all that were left of the house of Achaab in Jezrael, and all his great men, and his acquaintance, and his priests, so as not to leave him [any] remnant.
Emesịa, Jehu gburu ndị ikwu Ehab fọdụrụ nʼobodo Jezril, ha na ndịisi niile, na ndị enyi ya niile, na ndị nchụaja ya niile. Ọ dịkwaghị otu onye ikwu Ehab ọ hapụrụ ndụ.
12 And he arose and went to Samaria, [and] he [was] in the house of sheep-shearing in the way.
Emesịakwa, Jehu hapụrụ Jezril gaa Sameria. Mgbe ọ na-aga nʼụzọ, ọ bịaruru ebe a na-akpọ Ebe Izuike Ndị ọzụzụ atụrụ.
13 And Ju found the brethren of Ochozias king of Juda, and said, Who [are] you? And they said, We [are] the brethren of Ochozias, and we have come down to salute the sons of the king, and the sons of the queen.
Nʼebe ahụ, o zutere ndị ụmụnna Ahazaya, eze Juda, jụọ sị, “Olee ndị ka unu bụ?” Ha zara, “Anyị bụ ndị ikwu Ahazaya, eze Juda, anyị bịara ka anyị jụọ maka ọdịmma ndị ezinaụlọ eze na nne eze.”
14 And he said, Take them alive. And they killed them at the shearing-house, forty and two men: he left not a man of them.
O nyere iwu sị, “Jidenụ ha na ndụ.” Ha jidere ha na ndụ, gbukwaa ha niile nʼakụkụ olulu miri nke Bet-Eked. Ọnụọgụgụ ha dị iri anọ na abụọ. O nweghị onye ọbụla ọ hapụrụ ndụ.
15 And he went thence and found Jonadab the son of Rechab [coming] to meet him; and he saluted him, and Ju said to him, Is your heart right with my heart, as my heart [is] with your heart? And Jonadab said, It is. And Ju said, If it is then, give me your hand. And he gave him his hand, and he took him up to him into the chariot.
Mgbe o si nʼebe ahụ pụọ, o zutere Jehonadab nwa Rekab, ka ọ na-abịa izute ya. Jehu kelere ya, sị, “Obi gị, o ziri ezi nwee nkwekọrịta, dịka obi m dị nʼebe ị nọ?” Jehonadab zara sị ya, “E.” Jehu sịrị, “Ọ bụrụ na o si otu a dịrị, kwe m nʼaka.” Jehonadab kwere ya nʼaka. Jehu nʼonwe ya nyeere ya aka ka ọ rigota nʼụgbọ agha ya.
16 And he said to him, Come with me, and see me zealous for the Lord. And he caused him to sit in his chariot.
Mgbe ahụ, Jehu sịrị ya, “Ugbu a, soro m bịa lee ụdị ịnụ ọkụ nʼobi m nwere maka ọrụ Onyenwe anyị.” Ha abụọ sooro nʼụgbọ agha Jehu.
17 And he entered into Samaria, and struck all that were left of Achaab in Samaria, until he had utterly destroyed him, according to the word of the Lord, which he spoke to Eliu.
Mgbe ha bịaruru Sameria, Jehu gburu ndị enyi na ndị ikwu Ehab niile, ndị fọdụrụ site nʼikwu Ehab, o bibiri ha dịka okwu Onyenwe anyị kwuru site nʼọnụ onye amụma Ịlaịja.
18 And Ju gathered all the people, and said to them, Achaab served Baal a little; Ju shall serve him much.
Emesịa, Jehu kpọkọtara ndị obodo ahụ niile sị ha, “Ehab fere Baal ofufe nke nta, Jehu ga-efe ya ebe ọ dị ukwuu.
19 Now then do all [you] the prophets of Baal call all his servants and his priests to me; let not a man be lacking: for I have a great sacrifice [to offer] to Baal; every one who shall be missing shall die. But Ju did it in subtilty, that he might destroy the servants of Baal.
Ugbu a, kpọkọtaanụ ndị amụma Baal niile, ndị niile na-efe ya, na ndị nchụaja ya niile. Hụnụ na onye ọbụla nʼime ha bịara, nʼihi na a ga-eme oke mmemme ịchụ aja nye Baal. Onye ọbụla e lere anya ya nʼebe ahụ, ma a hụghị ya, agaghị adị ndụ.” Ma Jehu ji aghụghọ nʼihi ka ọ laa ndị a na-efe Baal nʼiyi.
20 And Ju said, Sanctify a solemn festival to Baal, and they made a proclamation.
Jehu sịrị, “Kpọsaanụ na a ga-enwe oke mkpọkọta dị nsọ nye Baal.” Ya mere, ha kwusara ya.
21 And Ju sent throughout all Israel, saying, Now then let all [Baal's] servants, and all his priests, and all his prophets [come], let none be lacking: for I am going to offer a great sacrifice; whoever shall be missing, shall not live. So all the servants of Baal came, and all his priests, and all his prophets: there was not one left who came not. And they entered into the house of Baal; and the house of Baal was filled from one end to the other.
O zipụrụ ozi nye ndị bi nʼakụkụ Izrel niile. Ndị niile na-efe Baal bịazuru. Ọ dịghị onye fọdụrụ nke na-abịaghị. Ha jupụtara nʼụlọnsọ ukwu Baal site nʼotu isi ya ruo nʼisi nke ọzọ.
22 And he said to the man who was over the house of the wardrobe, Bring forth a robe for all the servants of Baal. And the keeper of the robes brought forth to them.
Jehu sịrị onye na-elekọta ụlọ ebe a na-edebe uwe ndị na-efe ofufe na-eyi, “Chịpụta uwe nye ndị niile na-efe Baal.” Ya mere, ọ chịpụtaara ha uwe.
23 And Ju and Jonadab the son of Rechab entered into the house of Baal, and said to the servants of Baal, Search, and see whether there is among you any of the servants of the Lord, or only the servants of Baal, by themselves.
Mgbe ahụ, Jehu na Jehonadab nwa Rekab, banyere nʼebe nzukọ Baal. Jehu sịrị ndị nʼefe Baal, “Chọzienụ nke ọma ka unu hụ na o nweghị onye ọbụla na-efe Onyenwe anyị nọ nʼebe a, karịakwa naanị ndị na-efe Baal.”
24 And he went in to offer sacrifices and whole burnt offerings; and Ju set for himself eighty men without, and said, Every man who shall escape of the men whom I bring into your hand, the life of him [that spares him] shall go for his life.
Mgbe ha malitere ịchụ aja na isure ihe nsure ọkụ, Jehu emeelarị ka iri ndị agha asatọ gbaa ụlọ ahụ niile gburugburu. O nyelarị iwu sị, “Ọ bụrụ na unu ekwere ka otu onye si nʼime ụlọ a gbapụ, unu ga-eji ndụ unu kwụghachi ụgwọ onye dị otu ahụ.”
25 And it came to pass, when he had finished offering the whole burnt offering, that Ju said to the footmen and to the officers, Go you in and kill them; let not a man of them escape. So they struck them with the edge of the sword, and the footmen and the officers cast [the bodies] forth, and went to the city of the house of Baal.
Ngwangwa Jehu chụchasịrị aja nsure ọkụ, ọ pụrụ gwa ndị agha ya, na ndịisi ha okwu sị, “Baanụ nʼime ụlọ gbuo ndị niile nọ nʼebe ahụ. Unu ekwela ka otu onye nʼime ha gbapụ.” Ha jiri mma agha gbuo ndị ahụ nọ nʼime ụlọ Baal, tụpụta ozu ha nʼezi. Emesịa, ndị agha Jehu banyere nʼime ime ụlọ ebe ịchụ aja Baal,
26 And they brought out the pillar of Baal, and burnt it.
ha bupụtara ogidi nsọ e ji efe Baal, kpọọ ha ọkụ.
27 And they tore down the pillars of Baal, and made his house a draught-house until this day.
Ha kwaturu ogidi nsọ Baal, kwatukwaa ụlọ ịchụ aja ya. Ya mere e megharịrị ya ka ọ bụrụ ebe ọha mmadụ na-aga ogwe ruo taa.
28 So Ju abolished Baal out of Israel.
Jehu kpochapụrụ ofufe Baal nʼala Izrel niile.
29 Nevertheless Ju departed not from following the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who led Israel to sin: [these were] the golden heifers in Baethel and in Dan.
Ma otu ọ dị, o siteghị na mmehie Jeroboam nwa Nebat wezuga onwe ya. Mmehie nke Jeroboam mere ka Izrel mehie, ya bụ, mmehie nke ife arụsị ụmụ ehi e ji ọlaedo kpụọ, dị na Betel na Dan.
30 And the Lord said to Ju, Because of all your deeds wherein you have acted well in doing that which was right in my eyes, according to all things which you have done to the house of Achaab [as they were] in my heart, your sons to the fourth generation shall sit upon the throne of Israel.
Onyenwe anyị gwara Jehu sị, “Nʼihi na i mere nke ọma mezuo ihe niile ziri ezi nʼanya m, nʼebe ezinaụlọ Ehab nọ, nʼusoro ihe niile dị nʼuche m ime, ụmụ ụmụ gị ga-anọkwasị nʼocheeze Izrel, ruo nʼọgbọ nke anọ ha.”
31 But Ju took no heed to walk in the law of the Lord God of Israel with all his heart: he departed not from following the sins of Jeroboam, who made Israel to sin.
Ma Jehu akpachapụghị anya iji obi ya niile debe iwu Onyenwe anyị, Chineke Izrel. O siteghị na mmehie Jeroboam wezuga onwe ya, bụ mmehie ahụ o mere ka Izrel mee.
32 In those days the Lord began to cut Israel short; and Azael struck them in every coast of Israel;
Nʼoge ahụ, Onyenwe anyị malitere ime ka ndị Izrel bido ịdị nta. Hazael eze Aram, buru agha merie ọtụtụ akụkụ Izrel,
33 from Jordan eastward all the land of Galaad belonging to the Gadites, of Gaddi and that of Ruben, and of Manasses, from Aroer, which is on the brink of the brook of Arnon, and Galaad and Basan.
nke dị nʼọwụwa anyanwụ osimiri Jọdan, na ala niile nke Gilead (nʼoke ala ndị Gad, na nke ndị Ruben, na Manase), site nʼAroea nke dị nʼakụkụ ndagwurugwu Anọn, ruo Gilead na Bashan.
34 And the rest of the acts of Ju, and all that he did, and all his might, and the wars wherein he engaged, [are] not these things written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
Akụkọ gbasara ọchịchị eze Jehu, na ihe niile o mere, na ịkpa ike ya niile, e deghị ha nʼakwụkwọ akụkọ ndị eze Izrel?
35 And Ju slept with his fathers; and they buried him in Samaria: and Joachaz his son reigned in his stead.
Jehu sooro ndị nna nna ya ha dina nʼọnwụ, e lie ya na Sameria. Nwa ya bụ Jehoahaz nọchiri anya ya dịka eze.
36 And the days which Ju reigned over Israel [were] twenty-eight years in Samaria.
Ma ụbọchị niile Jehu bụ eze Izrel nʼime Sameria dị iri afọ abụọ na asatọ.
