2 Kings 9
1 Meanwhile, the prophet Elisha summoned one of the other prophets. He said to him, “Get ready [IDM] and go to Ramoth [city] in [the] Gilead [region]. Take this jar of [olive] oil with you.
A KAHEA aku la o Elisai ke kaula i kekahi o na haumana a ka poe kaula, i aku la ia ia, E kaei oe i kou puhaka, a lawe i keia hue aila ma kou lima, a e hele aku i Ramota-Gileada.
2 When you arrive there, search for a man named Jehu, the son of Jehoshaphat and grandson of Nimshi. Go with him into a room away from his companions,
A hiki oe ilaila, e imi aku oe ilaila ia Iehu, ko keiki a Iehosapata, ke keiki a Nimesi, a komo aku oe, a hooku ia ia mai waena mai o kona poe hoahanau, a hookomo ia ia i ke keena maloko.
3 and pour [some of] this oil on his head. Then say to him, ‘Yahweh declares that he is appointing you to be the king of Israel.’ Then open the door and run away as quickly as you can.”
Alaila e lawe oe i ka hue aila, a e ninini maluna o kona poo, a e i aku, Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova peneia, Ua poni aku au ia oe i alii maluna o ka Iseraela. Alaila e wehe ae oe i ka puka, a holo aku, mai kali oe.
4 So the young prophet went to Ramoth.
A hele aku la ke kanaka ui i Ramota-Gileada, he kaula hoi ua kanaka ui la.
5 When he arrived, he saw that the commanders of the army were having a conference. He [looked at Jehu and] said, “Sir, I have a message for [one of] you.” Jehu replied, “Which one of us is the message for?” The young prophet replied, “It is for you, commander/sir.”
A hiki aku ia, aia hoi, e noho ana na luna o ke kaua; i aku la ia, Ho wahi olelo ka'u ia oe, e ka luna. I mai la o Iehu, Ia wai o makou a pau? I aku la ia, Ia oe, e ka luna.
6 So Jehu got up and went with the young prophet into a house. There the young prophet poured some [olive] oil on Jehu’s head and said to him, “Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis [worship], declares this: ‘I am appointing you to be the king of my Israeli people.
Ku ae la ia a komo iloko o ka hale; a ninini iho la ia i ka aila maluna o kona poo. a i aku la ia ia, Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova ke Akua o ka Iseraela, Ua poni aku au ia oe i alii maluna o na kanaka o Iehova, maluna o ka Iseraela.
7 You must kill your master [King Joram], the son of Ahab, because I want to punish [Ahab’s wife] Jezebel for murdering [MTY] many of my prophets and other people who served me.
A e pepehi aku oe i ko ka hale o Ahaba kou haku, i hoopai aku ai au i ko koko o ka'u poe kauwa, o na kaula, a me ke koko o na kauwa a pau a Iehova ma ka lima o Iezebela.
8 You must kill [not only Joram but] all of Ahab’s family. I want to get rid of every male in the family, including young ones and old ones.
A e pau auanei ko ka hale a pau o Ahaba; a oki aku au i na kane a pau no Ahaba, a o ka mea i paa, a me ka mea i paa ole iloko o ka Iseraela.
9 I will get rid of Ahab’s family, like I got rid of the families of two other kings of Israel, Jeroboam and Baasha.
A e hana like aku au i ko ka hale o Ahaba me ko ka hale o Ieroboama ke keiki a Nebata, a me ko ka hale o Baasa, ke keiki a Ahiia.
10 And [when] Jezebel [dies], her corpse will not be buried. Dogs will eat her corpse there in Jezreel [city].’” After the young prophet said this, he left the room and ran.
A e ai na ilio ia Iezebela ma ka aina i Iezereela, aohe mea nana ia e kanu. A wehe ae la ia i ka puka, a holo aku la.
11 When Jehu came out of the room to where his other commanders were, they said to him, “Is everything all right? Why did that mad fellow come to you?” He replied, “You know what kinds of things young prophets like him say.”
Alaila puka iwaho o Iehu i na kauwa a kona haku, a ninau mai kekahi ia ia, He pono anei? No ke aha la i hele mai ai keia hehena i ou la? I aku la ia ia lakou, Ua ike oukou i ke kanaka, a me kana olelo.
12 They said, “You are lying! Tell us what he said!” He replied, “He told me that Yahweh said, ‘I am appointing [MTY] you to be the king of Israel.’”
I aku la lakou ia ia, He wahahee; e hai mai oe ia makou ano. I mai la ia, Me neia, me neia kana i olelo mai ai ia'u, i mai la, Ke i mai nei o Iehova peneia, Ua poni aku au ia oe i alii maluna o ka Iseraela.
13 Then they all spread their cloaks on the steps of the building [for Jehu to walk out on], and they blew trumpets and shouted, “Jehu is now the king!”
Alaila wikiwiki lakou, a lawe ae la kela kanaka keia kanaka i kona aahu, a waiho malalo iho ona maluna o ke alapii, a puhi i na pu, i aku la, E alii ana o Iehu.
14 King Joram and his army had been defending Ramoth against the attacks by the army of the king of Syria. King Joram had returned to Jezreel [city], to recover from being wounded in the battle against the army of Hazael, the king of Syria. And Jehu made plans to kill Joram. He said to his other commanders, “If helping me is truly what you want, make sure that no one leaves this city to go to warn the people of Jezreel [about what I am planning to do].”
A kipi iho la o Iehu ke keiki a Iehosapata, ke keiki a Nimesi, ia Iorama. (A o Iorama e kiai ana ia ma Ramota-Gileada, oia, a me ka Iseraela a pau, no Hazaela ke alii o Suria.
A ua hoi aku o Iorama ke alii ma Iezereela e hoolaia i kona eha a ko Suria i hana eha ai ia ia, i kona manawa i kaua aku ai ia Hazaela ke alii o Suria.) A i aku la o Iehu, Ina oukou e manao, mai puka aku e pakele kekahi mai ke kulanakauhale aku e hele ia e hai aku ma Iezereela.
16 Then Jehu and his officers got into their chariots and rode to Jezreel, where Joram was still recovering. And King Ahaziah of Judah was there, visiting Joram.
A holo aku la o Iehu ma ka halekaa, a hele aku la i Iezereela; no ka mea, e waiho ana o Iorama malaila. A ua iho mai o Ahazia, ke alii o ka Iuda, e ike ia Iorama.
17 A guard was standing in the watchtower in Jezreel. He saw Jehu and his men approaching. He called out, “I see a lot of men [who are approaching]!” King Joram [heard what the watchman said, so he] said to his soldiers, “Send someone on a horse to go and find out if they are coming to be friendly to us or to attack us.”
A e ku ana ke kanaka kiai maluna o ka hale kiai ma Iezereela, a ike aku la ia i ka poe nui o Iehu i kona hele ana mai, i aku la ia, Ke ike nei au i ka poe nui. I mai la o Iorama, e lawe oe i ka hooholelio, a e hoouna aku e halawai me lakou, a e ninau aku ia, He aloha anei?
18 So a man rode out to meet Jehu and said to him, “The king wants to know [if you are coming to be] friendly to us.” Jehu replied, “This is not the time for you [RHQ] to be concerned about acting friendly! Turn around and come behind me!” So the guard in the watchtower reported that the messenger had reached the group [that was approaching], but that he was not returning [alone].
A holo aku la kekahi maluna o ka lio e halawai me ia, a i aku la, Ke olelo mai nei ke alii peneia, He aloha anei? I aku la o Iehu, Heaha kau i ke aloha? e huli ae oe mahope o'u. A hai aku la ke kanaka kiai, i aku la, Hele aku la ke elele io lakou la, aole i hoi hou mai.
19 So King Joram sent another messenger, who asked Jehu the same question. Again Jehu replied, “This is not the time [RHQ] for you to be concerned about acting friendly! Turn around and follow me!”
A hoouna hou aku la ia i ka lua maluna o ka lio a hiki aku la ia io lakou la, i aku la, Ke olelo mai nei ke alii peneia, He aloha anei? I aku la o Iehu, Heaha kau i ke aloha? E huli ae oe mahope o'u.
20 Then the watchman reported again, “That messenger also reached them, but he is not coming back [alone]. And [the leader of the group must be] Jehu, the son of Nimshi, because he is driving [his chariot] furiously, [like Jehu does]!”
A hai aku la ke kiai, i aku la, Ua hele aku ia io lakou la, aole i hoi hou mai; a o ka holo ana, ua like me ka holo ana o Iehu ke keiki a Nimesi, no ka mea, ke holo la ia e like me ka hehena huhu.
21 Joram said [to his soldiers], “Get [my chariot] ready!” So they did that. Then King Joram and King Ahaziah both rode toward Jehu, each one in his own chariot. And [it happened that] they met Jehu at the field that had previously belonged to Naboth!
I aku o Iorama, E hoomakaukau; a hoomakaukauia iho la kona halekaa. A hele aku la o Iorama ke alii o ka Iseraela, a o Ahazia ke alii o ka Iuda, o kela keia ma kona halekaa iho, a hele aku e halawai me Iehu, a loaa ia lakou ia ma ka aina o Nabota no Iezereela.
22 When Joram met Jehu, he said to him, “Are you coming on a peaceful visit?” Jehu replied, “(How can there be peace while you and your people are prostrating themselves to worship idols and practicing very much (witchcraft/sorcery) like your mother Jezebel did?/There certainly cannot be peace while you and your people are prostrating themselves to worship idols and practicing (witchcraft/sorcery) like your mother Jezebel has been doing!)” [RHQ]
A i ka manawa i ike ai o Iorama ia Iehu, i aku la ia, He aloha anei, e Iehu? Ninau mai la ia, Heaha ke aloha i ka manawa i nui loa ai na hoomanakii o Iezebela kou makuwahine, a me ka anaana ana?
23 Joram cried out, “Ahaziah, they have deceived us! [They want to kill us]!” So Joram turned his chariot around and tried to flee.
A huli ae la o Iorama, a holo aku la, a i aku la ia Ahazia, He kipi, e Ahazia.
24 But Jehu drew his bow mightily and shot [an arrow that pierced] Joram between his shoulder blades. The arrow [went through his body and] pierced his heart, and he slumped down dead in his chariot.
A lawe o Iehu i ke kikoo ma kona lima, a pana aku la ia Iorama mawaena o kona mau lima, a puka aku la ka pua ma kona puuwai, a haule iho la ia maloko o kona halekaa.
25 Then Jehu said to his assistant Bidkar, “Take his corpse and throw it here into the field that belonged to Naboth. [I am sure that] you remember that when you and I were riding together [in chariots] behind King Joram’s father Ahab, that Yahweh said this about Ahab:
Alaila i aku la oia ia Bidekara i kona luna, E kaikai, a hoolei aku ia ia iloko o ka aina kihapai o Nabota no Iezereela; no ka mea, e hoomanao oe i ka wa a kaua elua i holo pu ai, mamuli o Ahaba kona makuakane, ua kau mai o Iehova i keia mea kaumaha maluna iho ona.
26 ‘Yesterday I saw Ahab murder [MTY] Naboth and his sons here. And I solemnly promise that I will punish him right here in this same field!’ So take Joram’s corpse and throw it into that field! That will fulfill what Yahweh said would happen.”
Ua ike io no au inehinei i ke koko o Nabota, a me ke koko o kana mau keiki, wahi a Iehova; a e hoopai aka au ia oe ma keia aina, wahi a Iehova. Ano hoi, e lawe, a e hoolei aku ia ia iloko o ua aina la, e like me ka olelo a Iehova.
27 When King Ahaziah saw what happened, he fled [in his chariot] toward Beth-Haggan [town]. But Jehu pursued him and said [to his other commanders], “Shoot him, also!” So they shot him [with arrows] while he was riding in his chariot on the road up to Gur, near Ibleam [town]. He continued going in his chariot until he reached Megiddo [city], where he died.
A ike aku la o Ahazia ke alii o ka Iuda, alaila holo aku la ia ma ke ala o ka hale ma ke kihapai. A hahai aku la o Iehu mahope ona, a i aku la ia, E pepehi aku ia ia hoi ma ka halekaa i ka pii ana ma Gura, e kokoke ana i Ibeleama. A holo aku la ia i Megido, a make iho la ilaila.
28 His officials took his corpse back to Jerusalem and buried it in the tombs in the [part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’, where his ancestors had been buried.
A lawe aku la kana poe kauwa ia ia maloko o ka halekaa i Ierusalema, a kanu iho la ia ia iloko o ka halelua me kona poe kupuna ma ke kulanakauhale o Davida.
29 Ahaziah had become the king of Judah when Joram had been ruling Israel for almost eleven years.
I ka umikumamakahi o ka makahiki o Iorama ke keiki a Ahaba, hoomaka iho la o Ahazia e noho alii maluna o ka Iuda.
30 Then Jehu went to Jezreel. When [Ahab’s widow] Jezebel heard what had happened, she put paint/makeup on her eyelids, and combed her hair to make it beautiful, and looked out the window [of the palace toward the street below].
A hiki aku la o Iehu i Iezereela, lohe ae la o Iezebela; a pena iho la ia i kona maka, a hooponopono i kona poo, a nana mai la ma ka pukamakani.
31 While Jehu was entering the city gate, she called out to him, “You [are like] Zimri! You are a murderer! [I think] you are certainly not [RHQ] coming on a peaceful visit!”
A komo aku la o Iehu ma ka pukapa, ninau mai la keia, I maluhia anei o Zimeri, nana i pepehi kona haku?
32 Jehu looked up toward the window, and then he said, “Who is (on my side/wants to help me)? Anyone?” Two or three palace officials looked down at him [from a window and pointed to themselves].
A nana aku la ia iluna ma ka pukamakani, i aku la, Owai ka mea ma o'u nei? Owai? A nana mai la ia ia elua a ekolu paha mau luna hale.
33 Jehu said to them, “Throw her down here!” So they threw her down, and [when she hit the ground and died], some of her blood splattered on the city wall and on the horses [that were pulling the chariots].
I aku la ia, E hoolei mai ia ia ilalo. A hoolei iho la lakou ia ia ilalo, a helelei iho kekahi o kona koko ma ka papohaku, a maluna o na lio: a hehiia iho la ia malalo o na wawae.
34 Then Jehu went into the palace and ate and drank. Then he said [to some of his men], “Take the corpse of that women whom Yahweh has cursed and bury it, because she is a king’s daughter [and therefore should be buried properly].”
A komo aku la ia maloko, a ai iho la ia, a inu hoi, a i aku la, E hele, e nana aku ano i keia mea i hoinoia, a e kanu aku ia ia, no ka mea, he kaikamahine ia a kekahi alii.
35 But when they went to get her corpse to bury it, all that was left was only her skull and [the bones of] her feet and her hands. Everything else was gone.
A hele aku la lakou e kanu ia ia, aole i loaa ia lakou kekahi mea ona, o ka puniu wale no, a me na wawae, a me na poho lima.
36 When they reported this to Jehu, he said, “That is what Yahweh said would happen! He told his servant/prophet Elijah, ‘In [the city of] Jezreel, dogs will eat the flesh of Jezebel’s corpse.
No ia mea, hoi mai lakou, hai aku ia ia. I mai la ia, O keia ka olelo a Iehova ana i olelo mai ai, ma kana kauwa, ma Elia no Tiseba, i ka i ana'e, Ma ka aina i Iezereela e ai iho ai na ilio i ka io o Iezebela.
37 Her bones will be scattered there in Jezreel like dung, with the result that no one will be able to [recognize them and] say, “These are Jezebel’s bones.”’”
A e like auanei ke kupapau o Iezebela me ka lepo maluna o ke kula o ka aina i Iezereela; nolaila, aole lakou e olelo ae, O Iezebela keia.
