< 2 Kings 10 >

1 And Achab had seventy sons in Samaria. And Jehu wrote letters and sent them to Samaria, unto the rulers of Yizre'el, the elders, and to those that brought up Achab's children, saying,
Ie amy zao, nanañ’ anake fitom-polo e Somerone ao t’i Akabe. Aa le nanokitse taratasy t’Ieho vaho nampi­hitrife’e mb’e Somerone mb’eo, amo mpifehe’ Iezreeleo, naho amo androanavio, vaho amo mpañabey o ana’ i Akabeoo, nanao ty hoe:
2 And now as soon as this letter cometh to you, seeing that there are with you your master's sons, and there are with you the chariots and the horses, and the fortified city, and the armor:
Ie mivotrak’ ama’ areo ty taratasy toy, zoeñe te ama’ areo o anan-talè’ areoo naho sarete reke-tsoavala naho rova vaho fialiañe;
3 Select then the best and the most fitting of your master's sons, and set him on his father's throne, and fight for your master's house.
le paiao ty soa mañeva amo anan-talè’ areoo, le ajoño am-piambesan-drae’e eo vaho mialia ho a i anjomban-talè’ areoy.
4 But they were exceedingly much afraid, and said, Behold, the two kings could not stand before him: how then shall we be able to stand?
F’ie nangebahebake, nifanao ty hoe: Hehe te roe ty mpanjaka tsy nahafiatreatre aze; akore arè ty hijohañan-tika?
5 And the superintendent over the house, and the commander over the city, and the elders, and the bringers up of the children, sent to Jehu, saying, We are thy servants, and all that thou mayest say unto us will we do; we will not set up any one as king: do what is good in thy eyes.
Aa le nañitrik’ am’ Ieho ty talè’ i anjombay naho i bein-drovay naho o androanavio vaho i mpañabey i ajaja reiy, ty hoe; Mpi­toro’o zahay, le hene hanoe’ay ze hatoro’o anay; tsy aman-dahilahy hanoe’ay mpanjaka; aa le ano ze soa am-pihaino’o.
6 Then wrote he to them a letter the second time, saying, If ye be for me, and if ye will hearken unto my voice, then take the heads of the men, your master's sons, and come to me to Yizre'el by this time tomorrow. Now the king's sons, seventy persons, were with the great men of the city, who brought them up.
Nanokira’e taratasy fañindroe’e, nanao ty hoe; Aa ie ho mpiamako vaho mahafitsen­dreñe ty feoko, le rambeso ty loha’ o lahilahin’ anan-talè’ areoo vaho mihavia amako e Iezreele atoy hamaray manahake henaneo. O anam-panjakao amy zao, i fitompolo rey, le tam’ ondati-bei’ i rovaio amo mpañabey iareoo.
7 And it came to pass, when the letter came to them, that they took the king's sons and slaughtered them, seventy persons, and put their heads in baskets, and sent them to him to Yizre'el.
Aa ie pok’ am’ iereo i taratasiy, le rinambe’ iereo i anam-panjaka rey, naho zinevo’ iareo indaty fitompolo rey naho najoñe an-koroñe ao o loha’ iareoo vaho nampihitrifeñe mb’e Iezreele mb’eo.
8 And the messenger came, and told him, saying, They have brought the heads of the king's sons. And he said, Place ye them in two heaps at the entrance of the gate until the morning.
Nandoak’ ao amy zao ty ìrake, nitali­ly ama’e, ty hoe: Fa nendese’ iereo ty loha’ o ana-dahi’ i mpanjakaio. Le hoe re, Apoho am-botry roe am-pimoahañe an-dalambey eo pake maraindray.
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 hath killed all these?
Ie maraindray, niavotse le nijohañe eo, nanao ty hoe am’ ondaty iabio: Vo­ts­otse nahareo; Heheke, nikilily amy talèkoy iraho le nanjevoñ’ aze; fa ia ka ty nañoho-doza amo retoañeo?
10 Know now that there shall not fall of the word of the Lord unto the earth, the least that the Lord hath spoken concerning the house of Achab; and the Lord hath done that which he spoke by means of his servant Elijah.
Mahafohina te ndra loli’e tsy hipok’ an-tane amy nitsaràe’ Iehovà i anjomba’ i Akabeiy, fa nanoe’ Iehovà i tsinara’e añamy mpitoro’e Eliàiy.
11 And Jehu smote all that yet remained of the house of Achab in Yizre'el, and all his great men, and his acquaintance, and his priests, until he had left him none that escaped.
Fonga zinevo’ Ieho ze sehanga’ ty anjomba’ i Akabe e Iezreele ao, naho ondati-bei’eo naho ze hene longo’e naho o mpi­soro’e iabio, ampara’ te tsy aman-konka’e.
12 And he arose and departed, and came to Samaria; he was just at the binding-house of the shepherds, on the way:
Niavotse amy zao re nienga mb’eo vaho nigodañe e Some­rone ao. Ie nioza an-trañom-pañi­tsi­fam-bolon’ añondry an-dalañe ey,
13 When Jehu met with the brothers of Achazyahu the king of Judah, and he said, Who are ye? And they said, The brothers of Achazyahu are we; and we are come down to salute the children of the king and the children of the queen.
le nifanampe aman-drolongo’ i Ahkazià, mpanjaka’ Iehoda, naho nanao ty hoe; Ia v’ina­ha­reoo? vaho hoe ty natoi’ iareo: Longo’ i Ahkazià zahay, mizotso mb’eo hifañontane amo anam-panjakao naho amo ana’ i mpanjaka-ampelaio.
14 And he said, Seize them alive. And they seized them alive, and slaughtered them at the pit of the binding-house, two and forty men; and he left not one of them remaining.
Le hoe re: Itsepaho veloñe. Aa le rinambe veloñe vaho zinevo’ iereo an-kobo’ i trañom-pihitsifañey t’indaty efa-polo-ro’ amby; le tsy napo’e sehanga’e.
15 And he went away thence, and met Yehonadab the son of Rechab coming to meet him: and he saluted him, and said to him, Is all right in thy heart, as my heart is with thy heart? And Yehonadab answered, It is; it is: give me thy hand. And he gave him his hand; and he took him up to him into the chariot.
Ie nienga ao, le tendreke Iehonadabe ana’ i Rekabe, ie nimb’ eo hifanalaka ama’e; le nañontanea’e ty hoe: Mazava hao ty arofo’o manahake ty troko amo arofo’oo? Eka, hoe ty natoi’ Iehonadabe. Aa naho izay, atoloro ahy o fità’oo. Le nahiti’e ama’e i fità’ey vaho rinambe’e amy sarete’ey.
16 And he said, Come with me, and behold my zeal for the Lord. So they made him ride in his chariot.
Le hoe re: Mindreza amako, hahaisaha’o ty fahimbañako am’ Iehovà. Aa le najo’e an-tsarete’e ao.
17 And when he came to Samaria, he smote all that yet remained unto Achab in Samaria, till he had exterminated him, according to the word of the Lord which he had spoken to Elijah.
Ie nivotrake e Somerone le fonga linihi’e ze nisisa’ i Akabe e Somerone ao, ampara’ te nimongore’e, ty amy tsara’ Iehovà nitsarae’e amy Eliày.
18 And Jehu assembled all the people, and said unto them, Achab hath served Ba'al a little: Jehu will serve him much.
Hene natonto’ Ieho amy zao ondatio le nanoe’e ty hoe; Nitoroñe i Baale tsy ampeampe t’i Akabe; fa hito­roñe aze fatratse ka t’Ieho.
19 And now call unto me all the prophets of Ba'al, all his worshippers, and all his priests: let no one be missing; for I have a great sacrifice to make for Ba'al; whosoever will be missing, shall not live. But Jehu did it in subtilty, in order to destroy the worshippers of Ba'al.
Aa le koiho iaby o mpitoki’ i Baaleo, ze hene mpitalaho ama’e, o fonga mpisoro’eo, le ko apo’o ndra raike; fa hanao sorom-bey amy Baale iraho, tsy ho veloñe ze tsy eo. Fe am-pamañahiañe ty nanoe’ Ieho i hoe zay hanjamana’e o mpitalaho amy Baaleo.
20 And Jehu said, Sanctify a solemn assembly for Ba'al. And they proclaimed it.
Le hoe t’Ieho: Añefero fivory miambake amy Baale. Le kinoi’ iereo.
21 And Jehu sent throughout all Israel: and there came all the worshippers of Ba'al, so that there was not a man remaining that came not; and they came into the house of Ba'al; and the house of Ba'al was full from one end to another.
Aa le nañitrik’ am-panitsihañe Israele t’Ieho; le nimb’eo iaby o mpitalaho amy Baaleo, ampara’ t’ie fonga niavy tsy poke raike. Ie nimoak’ an-tsokemitraha’ i Baaley le ninitse sikal’ am-pata’e pak’an-tondohà’e i anjomba’ i Baaley.
22 And he said unto him that was over the wardrobe, Bring forth vestments for all the worshippers of Ba'al. And he brought forth for them the vestments.
Le hoe re amy mpamandroñe saroñey, Añakaro sikiñe iaby o mpita­laho amy Baaleo. Le sindre nañakara’e saroñe.
23 And Jehu went, with Yehonadab the son of Rechab, into the house of Ba'al, and he said unto the worshippers of Ba'al, Search, and look that there be not here with you any of the servants of the Lord, but the worshippers of Ba'al entirely alone.
Nimoak’ añ’anjomba’ i Baaley t’Iohabe rekets’ Iehonadabe ana’ i Rekabe; le hoe re amo mpitalaho amy Baaleo; Paiavo, le rendreho tsy ho zoeñe ama’ areo ao ndra raik’ amo mpitoro’ Iehovà fa mpitoro’ i Baale avao.
24 And they went in to prepare sacrifices and burnt-offerings; but Jehu had set for himself without eighty men, and said, [If there be] a man that escapeth from the men whom I deliver into your hands, [there shall be given] life for his life.
Aa le nimb’ ao iereo hañenga naho hisoroñe. Ie amy zao fa nanendre ondaty valompolo alafe’e ao, ami’ty hoe: Naho mipolititse ty raik’ am’ ondaty hatoloko am-pità’ areoo le ty fiai’ i nañaha azey ty hisolo ty fiai’e.
25 And it came to pass, as soon as they had made an end of preparing the burnt-offering, that Jehu said to the runners and to the officers, Go in, smite them: let none come forth. And they smote them with the edge of the sword; and the runners and the captains cast them out, and went as far as the city of the house of Ba'al.
Aa ie vata’e nigadoñe i fisoroñañey, le hoe t’Ieho amo mpañambeñeo naho amo mpifeheo. Mimoaha, le zevòño; ko apo’ areo hiakatse, leo raike. Aa le zinevo’ iereo an-delam-pibara; le navokovoko’ o mpañambeñeo naho o mpifeheo alafe’e ao vaho nizilik’ añate’ ty efe’ i Baale ao.
26 And they brought forth the statues out of the house of Ba'al, and burnt every one of them.
Nakare’ iereo o hazomanga añ’ anjomba’ i Baaleo, le niforototoeñe.
27 And they broke down the statue of Ba'al, and broke down the house of Ba'al, and made it a common sewer unto this day.
Nakoroma’ iereo i hazomanga’ i Baaley naho narotsa’ iereo i anjomba’ i Baaley vaho nanoe’ iereo fieveñañe am-para’ henanekeo.
28 Thus Jehu exterminated Ba'al out of Israel.
Izay ty namongora’ Ieho i Baale am’ Israele.
29 Nevertheless the sins of Jerobo'am the son of Nebat, who induced Israel to sin, Jehu departed not from in following them, [namely, ] the golden calves that were in Beth-el, and that were in Dan.
Fe, tsy napo’ Ieho ty hakeo’ Iarovame ana’ i Nebate, i nampanan-tahiñe Israele amy bania volamena e Betele naho e Dane ao rey.
30 And the Lord said unto Jehu, Forasmuch as thou hast acted well in doing what is right in my eyes, and hast done in accordance with all that was in my heart unto the house of Achab: children of the fourth generation after thee shall sit upon the throne of Israel.
Le hoe t’Iehovà am’Ieho, Ami’ty hasoa nanoe’o a masoko amy nitoloña’o amy anjomba’ i Akabeiy, ie hene nanoe’o ze tan-troko, le hiambesatse amy fiambesa’ Israeley o ana’oo am-para’ty tariratse fah’efatse.
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 Jerobo'am, who induced Israel to sin.
Fe tsy nihaoñe’ Ieho añ’ àmpon’arofo ty fañaveloa’e amy Tsara’ Iehovà Andria­nañahare’ Israeley, vaho tsy nisitaha’e o hakeo’ Iarovame nampanan-tahiñe Israeleo.
32 In those days the Lord began to cut Israel short; and Chazael smote them in all the boundary of Israel;
Niorotse nampitomotse Isra­ele t’Iehovà; le linafa’ i Kazaele o añ’olon-tane’ Israeleo iabio;
33 From the Jordan to the rising of the sun, all the land of Gil'ad, the Gadites, and the Reubenites, and the Menassites, from 'Aro'er which is by the river Arnon, both Gil'ad and Bashan.
boak’ am’ Iordaney maniñanañe, i tanen-Gilade iabiy, o nte-Gadeo, naho o nte Reobeneo, vaho o nte-Menasèo, boak’ amy Aroere, añ’ ilam-bavatane’ Arnone eo le i Gilade naho i Basane.
34 Now the rest of the acts of Jehu, and all that he did, and all his mighty deeds, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
Aa naho o fitoloña’ Ieho ila’eo naho ze he’e nanoe’e, i haozara’e iabiy, tsy fa sinokitse am-bokem-pamolili­añe o mpanjaka’ Israeleo hao?
35 And Jehu slept with his fathers, and they buried him in Samaria. And Jehoachaz his son became king in his stead.
Nitrao-piròtse aman-droa’e t’Ieho, ie nalente’ iareo e Somerone ao. Nandimbe aze nifehe t’Iehoakaze ana’e.
36 And the time that Jehu reigned over Israel in Samaria was twenty and eight years.
Roapolo-valo’ amby taoñe ty nifehea’ Ieho Israele e Somerone ao.
