2 Kings 10

1 There were seventy descendants of King Ahab who were living there in Samaria. Jehu wrote a letter [and made copies of it] and sent them to the rulers of the city, to the elders, and to those who raised and tutored Ahab’s children.

Si Achab nga'y may pitong pung anak sa Samaria. At sumulat si Jehu ng mga sulat, at ipinadala sa Samaria, sa mga pinuno sa Jezreel, sa makatuwid baga'y sa mga matanda, at sa kanila na tagapagalaga sa mga anak ni Achab, na nagsasabi,

2 [This is what he wrote]: “You are the ones who are [taking care of] the king’s descendants. You have chariots and horses and weapons, and you live in cities that have walls around them. So as soon as you receive this letter,

At pagdating nga ng sulat na ito sa inyo, sa paraang ang mga anak ng inyong panginoon ay kasama ninyo, at mayroon kayong mga karo at mga kabayo, at bayan na nakukutaan naman, at sakbat;

3 choose one of the king’s sons, the one who is the best qualified, and appoint him to be your king. Then [prepare to] fight to defend him.”

Piliin ninyo ang pinaka mainam at ang pinaka marapat sa mga anak ng inyong panginoon, at iupo ninyo sa luklukan ng kaniyang ama, at ipakipaglaban ang sangbahayan ng inyong panginoon.

4 But [when they got those letters from Jehu and read them], they became very afraid. They said, “King Joram and King Ahaziah could not resist him; (how can we resist him?/we cannot possibly resist him!)” [RHQ]

Nguni't sila'y natakot na mainam, at nagsabi, Narito, ang dalawang hari ay hindi nagsitayo sa harap niya: paano ngang tayo'y tatayo?

5 So the officer who was in charge of the palace and the mayor of the city sent a message to Jehu saying, “We want to serve you, and we are ready to do whatever you tell us to do. We will not appoint anyone to become our king. You do whatever you think is best.”

At ang katiwala, at ang tagapamahala ng bayan, gayon din ang mga matanda, at ang mga tagapagalaga sa mga bata, ay nagsipagsugo kay Jehu, na nagsisipagsabi, Kami ay iyong mga lingkod, at gagawin namin ang lahat na iyong iuutos sa amin; hindi namin gagawing hari ang sinoman; gawin mo ang mabuti sa iyong mga mata.

6 So Jehu sent a second letter to them, writing this: “If you (are on my side/want to help me), and if you are ready to obey me, [kill] King Ahab’s descendants [and cut off their heads and] bring their heads to me here in Jezreel at this time tomorrow.” The seventy descendants of King Ahab were being brought up and supervised by the leaders of [Samaria] city.

Nang magkagayo'y sumulat siya ng isang sulat na ikalawa sa kanila, na nagsasabi, Kung kayo'y sasa aking siping, at kung inyong didinggin ang aking tinig, kunin ninyo ang mga ulo ng mga lalake na mga anak ng inyong panginoon, at magsiparito kayo sa akin sa Jezreel sa kinabukasan sa may ganitong panahon. Ang mga anak nga ng hari, yamang pitong pung katao ay nangasa kasamahan ng mga dakilang tao sa bayan, na nagalaga sa kanila.

7 When they received the letter from Jehu, they killed all seventy of Ahab’s descendants and [cut off their heads]. They put their heads in baskets and sent them to Jehu at Jezreel.

At nangyari, nang ang sulat ay dumating sa kanila, na kanilang kinuha ang mga anak ng hari, at pinagpapatay sila, pitongpung katao, at inilagay ang kanilang mga ulo sa mga batulang na ipinadala sa kaniya sa Jezreel.

8 A messenger came to Jehu and told him, “They have brought the heads of Ahab’s descendants.” So Jehu commanded that the heads should be put in two piles at the city gate and that the heads should stay there until the next morning.

At dumating ang isang sugo, at isinaysay sa kaniya, na sinasabi, Kanilang dinala ang mga ulo ng mga anak ng hari. At kaniyang sinabi, Inyong ihanay ng dalawang bunton sa pasukan ng pintuang-bayan hanggang sa kinaumagahan.

9 The next morning he went out [to the city gate] and said to all the people, “I am the one who plotted against King Joram and killed him. You are not guilty of doing that. But [it was Yahweh, not I] [RHQ] who [commanded that] all these [descendants of Ahab should be] killed.

At nangyari, sa kinaumagahan, na siya'y lumabas, at tumayo, at nagsabi sa buong bayan, Kayo'y mga matuwid: narito, aking pinagbantaan ang aking panginoon, at pinatay siya, nguni't sinong sumakit sa lahat ng ito?

10 So you need to know that everything that Yahweh said would happen has happened. He has caused to happen what he told the prophet Elijah would happen.”

Talastasin ninyo ngayon na walang mahuhulog sa lupa sa salita ng Panginoon, na sinalita ng Panginoon tungkol sa sangbahayan ni Achab: sapagka't ginawa ng Panginoon ang kaniyang sinalita sa pamamagitan ng kaniyang lingkod na si Elias.

11 Then Jehu executed all the other relatives of Ahab in Jezreel, and all Ahab’s officers, and close friends, and his priests. He did not allow any of them to remain alive.

Sa gayo'y sinaktan ni Jehu ang lahat na nalabi sa sangbahayan ni Achab sa Jezreel, at ang lahat niyang dakilang tao, at ang kaniyang mga kasamasamang kaibigan, at ang kaniyang mga saserdote, hanggang sa wala siyang inilabi.

12 Then Jehu left [Jezreel] and went toward Samaria. While he was going there, at a place called ‘Shepherds’ Camp’,

At siya'y nagtindig at yumaon, at naparoon sa Samaria. At samantalang siya'y nasa pagupitang-bahay ng mga pastor sa daan,

13 he met some relatives of King Ahaziah of Judah. He asked them, “Who are you?” They replied, “We are relatives of King Ahaziah. We are going to Jezreel to visit the children of Queen Jezebel and the other members of King [Joram’s] family.”

Ay nasalubong ni Jehu ang mga kapatid ni Ochozias na hari sa Juda, at sinabi, Sino kayo? At sila'y nagsisagot, Kami ay mga kapatid ni Ochozias: at kami ay nagsilusong upang magsibati sa mga anak ng hari at mga anak ng reina.

14 Jehu said to his men, “Seize them!” So they seized them and killed all of them at the pit named Beth-Eked. There were 42 people whom they killed; they did not allow any of them to remain alive.

At kaniyang sinabi, Hulihin ninyo silang buhay. At hinuli nila silang buhay, at pinatay sa hukay ng pagupitang-bahay, sa makatuwid baga'y apat na pu't dalawang lalake; hindi nagiwan ng sinoman sa kanila.

15 Then Jehu [continued to travel toward Samaria]. Along the road, he was met by Jonadab, a leader of the Rechab clan. Jehu greeted him and said to him, “Are you as devoted to me [IDM] as I am devoted to you?” Jonadab replied, “Yes, I am.” Jehu said, “If you are, shake hands with me.” So Jonadab shook hands with him, and Jehu helped him to get into his chariot.

At nang siya'y makayaon mula roon, kaniyang nasumpungan si Jonadab na anak ni Rechab na sumasalubong sa kaniya: at kaniyang binati siya, at nagsabi sa kaniya, Ang iyo bang puso ay tapat, na gaya ng aking puso sa iyong puso? At sumagot si Jonadab, Tapat. Kung gayon, iabot mo sa akin ang iyong kamay. At iniabot niya sa kaniya ang kaniyang kamay; at isinampa niya siya sa loob ng karo.

16 Jehu said to him, “Come with me, and you will see that I am very devoted to Yahweh.” So they rode together to Samaria.

At kaniyang sinabi, Sumama ka sa akin at tingnan mo ang aking sikap sa Panginoon. Sa gayo'y kanilang pinasakay sila sa kaniyang karo.

17 When they arrived in Samaria, Jehu killed all of Ahab’s relatives who were still alive. He did not (spare any of them/allow any of them to remain alive). That was what Yahweh told Elijah would happen.

At nang siya'y dumating sa Samaria, kaniyang sinaktan ang lahat na nalabi kay Achab sa Samaria, hanggang sa kaniyang naibuwal siya, ayon sa salita ng Panginoon, na kaniyang sinalita kay Elias.

18 Then Jehu summoned all the people [of Samaria], and said to them, “King Ahab was devoted to [your god] Baal a little bit, but I will serve him much more.

At pinisan ni Jehu ang buong bayan, at sinabi sa kanila, Si Achab ay naglingkod kay Baal ng kaunti: nguni't si Jehu ay maglilingkod sa kaniya ng marami.

19 So now summon all the prophets of Baal, all of Baal’s priests, and all the others who worship Baal. I am going to make a great sacrifice to Baal. I want all of them to be there. Any of them who is not there will be executed.” But Jehu was planning to trick them; he was planning to kill all those who worshiped Baal.

Ngayon nga'y tawagin ninyo sa akin ang lahat na propeta ni Baal, ang lahat niyang mananamba, at ang lahat niyang mga saserdote; huwag may magkulang; sapagka't mayroon akong dakilang haing gagawin kay Baal; sinomang magkulang ay hindi mabubuhay. Nguni't ginawa ni Jehu na may katusuhan, na ang nasa ay kaniyang malipol ang mga mananamba kay Baal.

20 Then Jehu commanded, “Announce that we are going to set aside a day to honor Baal.” So they did that.

At sinabi ni Jehu, Magdaos kayo ng isang dakilang kapulungan kay Baal. At kanilang itinanyag yaon.

21 Jehu [decided what day they would gather and] sent messages throughout Israel [telling everyone what day to gather on], and on that day, everyone who worshiped Baal came. No one stayed at home. They all went into the huge temple of Baal and filled it from one end to the other.

At nagsugo si Jehu sa buong Israel, at ang lahat ng mananamba kay Baal ay nagsiparoon, na anopa't walang naiwan na hindi naparoon. At sila'y nagsipasok sa bahay ni Baal; at ang bahay ni Baal ay napuno sa magkabikabilang dulo.

22 Jehu told the priest who took care of the sacred robes to bring them out and give them to the people who worshiped Baal. So the priest did that.

At sinabi niya sa kaniya na katiwala sa bihisang-silid, Ilabas mo ang mga kasuutang para sa lahat na mananamba kay Baal. At nilabasan niya sila ng mga kasuutan.

23 Then Jehu went into the temple of Baal with Jonadab, and he said to the people who were there to worship Baal, “Be sure that only those who worship Baal are here. Be sure that no one who worships Yahweh has come in.”

At si Jehu, at si Jonadab na anak ni Rechab, ay pumasok sa bahay ni Baal; at kaniyang sinabi sa mga mananamba kay Baal, Kayo'y magsihanap, at magsipagmasid kayo na huwag magkaroon sa kasamahan ninyo ng mga lingkod ng Panginoon, kundi mga mananamba kay Baal lamang.

24 Then he and Jonadab prepared to offer sacrifices and other offerings to Baal that would be completely burned [on the altar that was there in Samaria]. But Jehu had stationed eighty of his men outside the temple, and had said to them, “I want you to kill all the people [who are in the temple]. Anyone who allows one of them to escape will be executed!”

At sila'y nagsipasok na nangaghandog ng mga hain at ng mga handog na susunugin. Si Jehu nga ay naghalal para sa kaniya ng walongpung lalake sa labas, at nagsabi, Kung sinoman sa mga lalake na aking dalhin sa inyong mga kamay ay makatanan ang buhay ng nagpakawala ay isasagot sa buhay niyaon.

25 As soon as Jehu [and Jonadab] had finished killing the animals that would be completely burned to be an offering to Baal, they [went outside and] said to the guards and officers, “Go in and kill all of them! Do not allow any of them to escape!” So the guards and officers went in and killed them all with their swords. Then they dragged their corpses outside the temple. Then they went into the inner room of the temple,

At nangyari, pagkatapos niyang makapaghandog ng mga handog na susunugin, na sinabi ni Jehu sa bantay at sa mga punong kawal, Kayo'y magsipasok at inyo silang patayin; huwag makalabas ang sinoman. At sinaktan nila sila ng talim ng tabak; at inihagis sila sa labas ng bantay, at ng mga punong kawal, at nagsiparoon sa bayan ng bahay ni Baal.

26 and they carried out the sacred pillar of Baal that was there, and they burned it.

At kanilang inilabas ang mga haligi na pinakaalaala na nasa bahay ni Baal, at pinagsunog.

27 So they destroyed that pillar that honored Baal, and then they burned down the temple, and made it a public toilet. And it is still a toilet!

At kanilang sinira ang haligi na pinakaalaala kay Baal, at sinira ang bahay ni Baal, at ginawang bahay na tapunan ng dumi, hanggang sa araw na ito.

28 That is how Jehu got rid of the worship of Baal in Israel.

Ganito ibinuwal ni Jehu si Baal, sa Israel.

29 But Jehu did not quit committing the kinds of sins that Jeroboam had committed, sins that led the people of Israel to sin by worshiping the gold [statues of] calves in Bethel and Dan [cities].

Gayon ma'y ang mga kasalanan ni Jeroboam na anak ni Nabat, na kaniyang pinapagkasala sa Israel, hindi mga hiniwalayan ni Jehu, sa makatuwid baga'y ang pagsunod sa mga guyang ginto na nangasa Beth-el, at nangasa Dan.

30 Then Yahweh said to Jehu, “You have done what pleased me by getting rid of all of Ahab’s descendants. So I promise you that your son and grandson and great-grandson and great-great-grandson will all be kings of Israel.”

At sinabi ng Panginoon kay Jehu, Sapagka't ikaw ay gumawa ng mabuti sa paggawa ng matuwid sa harap ng aking mga mata, at iyong ginawa sa sangbahayan ni Achab ang ayon sa nasa aking buong puso, ang iyong mga anak sa ikaapat na lahi ay uupo sa luklukan ng Israel.

31 But Jehu did not obey all the laws of Yahweh, the God of the Israeli people. He did not stop committing the sins that Jeroboam had committed, sins that led the Israeli people to sin.

Nguni't si Jehu ay hindi nagingat na lumakad sa kautusan ng Panginoon, na Dios ng Israel, ng kaniyang buong puso: siya'y hindi humiwalay sa mga kasalanan ni Jeroboam, na kaniyang ipinagkasala sa Israel.

32 At that time, Yahweh began to cause the territory controlled by Israel to become smaller. [The army of] King Hazael [of Syria] conquered much of the Israeli territory.

Nang mga araw na yaon ay pinasimulan ng Panginoon na pinaikli ang Israel: at sinaktan sila ni Hazael sa lahat ng mga hangganan ng Israel;

33 He conquered the parts east of the Jordan [River], as far south as Aroer [town] on the Arnon [River]. That included [the] Gilead and Bashan [regions], where the tribes of Gad, Reuben, and half of the tribe of Manasseh lived.

Mula sa Jordan, hanggang sa silanganan, ang buong lupain ng Galaad, ang mga Gadita, at ang mga Rubenita at ang mga Manasita, mula sa Aroer, na nasa siping ng libis ng Arnon, hanggang sa Galaad at Basan.

34 [If you want to read more] about all the other things that Jehu did [RHQ], they are written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.

Ang iba nga sa mga gawa ni Jehu, at ang lahat niyang ginawa, at ang buo niyang kapangyarihan, di ba nangasusulat sa aklat ng mga alaala sa mga hari sa Israel?

35 Jehu died [EUP], and was buried in Samaria. His son Jehoahaz became the king in place of his father.

At si Jehu ay natulog na kasama ng kaniyang mga magulang: at inilibing nila siya sa Samaria. At si Joachaz na kaniyang anak ay naghari na kahalili niya.

36 Jehu had ruled in Samaria as the king of Israel for twenty-eight years.

At ang panahon na ipinaghari ni Jehu sa Israel sa Samaria ay dalawangpu't walong taon.
