2 Kings 10
1 Now Ahab had seventy descendants in Samaria. Jehu wrote letters and sent them to Samaria, to the rulers of Jezreel, including the elders and the guardians of Ahab's descendants, 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 “Your master's descendants are with you, and you also have chariots and horses and a fortified city and armor. So then, as soon as this letter comes to you,
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 select the best and most deserving of your master's descendants and set him on his father's throne, and fight for your master's royal line.”
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 terrified and said among themselves, “See, the two kings could not stand before Jehu. So how can 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 Then the man who was in charge of the palace, and the man who was over the city, and the elders also, and they who raised the children, sent word back to Jehu, saying, “We are your servants. We will do everything that you command us. We will not make any man king. Do what is good in your 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 Jehu wrote a letter the second time to them, saying, “If you are on my side, and if you will listen to my voice, you must take the heads of the men of your master's descendants, and come to me to Jezreel by tomorrow this time.” Now the king's descendants, seventy in number, were with the important men of the city, who were bringing 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 So when the letter came to them, they took the king's sons and killed them, seventy persons, put their heads in baskets, and sent them to Jehu in 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 A messenger came to Jehu, saying, “They have brought the heads of the king's sons.” So he said, “Put 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 In the morning Jehu went out and stood, and said to all the people, “You are innocent. See, I plotted against my master and killed him, but who killed 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 Now you should certainly realize that no part of Yahweh's word, the word that he spoke concerning the family of Ahab, will fall to the ground, for Yahweh has done what he spoke about through 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 killed all who remained in the family of Ahab in Jezreel, and all his important men, his close friends, and his priests, until none of them remained.
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 Then Jehu arose and left; he went to Samaria. As he was arriving at Beth Eked of the shepherd,
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 he met brothers of Ahaziah king of Judah. Jehu said to them, “Who are you?” They answered, “We are brothers of Ahaziah, and we are going down to greet the children of the king and the children of Queen Jezebel.”
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 Jehu said to his own men, “Take them alive.” So they took them alive and killed them at the well of Beth Eked, all forty-two men. He did not leave any of them alive.
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 When Jehu had left there, he met Jehonadab son of Recab coming to meet him. Jehu greeted him and said to him, “Is your heart with me, as my heart is with yours?” Jehonadab answered, “It is.” Jehu said, “If it is, give me your hand.” So he gave Jehu his hand, and Jehu took Jehonadab up with 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 Jehu said, “Come with me and see my zeal for Yahweh.” So he had Jonadab ride along with him 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 When he came to Samaria, Jehu killed all who remained from Ahab's descendants in Samaria, until he had destroyed Ahab's royal line, just as was told them before by the word of Yahweh, which he had spoken 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 Then Jehu gathered all the people together and said to 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 to me all the prophets of Baal, all his worshipers, and all his priests. Let no one be left out, for I have a great sacrifice to offer to Baal. Whoever does not come will not live.” But Jehu did this deceitfully, with the intent to kill the worshipers 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 Jehu said, “Set a time to have an assembly for Baal.” So they announced it.
Na ka mea a Iehu, Whakatapua he huihui nui ki a Paara. Na karangatia ana e ratou.
21 Then Jehu sent throughout all Israel and all the worshipers of Baal came, so that there was not a man left who did not come. They came into the temple of Baal, and it 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 Jehu said to the man who kept the priest's wardrobe, “Bring out robes for all the worshipers of Baal.” So the man brought out robes to them.
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 So Jehu went with Jehonadab son of Recab into the house of Baal, and he said to the worshipers of Baal, “Search and make sure that there is no one here with you from the servants of Yahweh, but the worshipers of Baal alone.”
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 Then they went in to offer sacrifices and burnt offerings. Now Jehu had chosen eighty men who were standing outside, and he told them, “If any of the men whom I bring into your hands escapes, whoever lets that man escape, his life will be taken for the life of the one who escaped.”
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 So then as soon as Jehu finished offering the burnt offering, he said to the guard and to the captains, “Go in and kill them. Let no one come out.” So they killed them with the edge of the sword, and the guard and the captains threw them out and went into the inner room 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 They dragged out the stone pillars that were in the house of Baal, and they burned them.
Na whakaputaina ana e ratou nga whakapakoko o te whare o Paara, a tahuna ana ki te ahi.
27 Then they broke down the pillar of Baal, and destroyed the house of Baal and made it a latrine, which it is to 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 That is how Jehu destroyed Baal worship from Israel.
Ko te whakamotitanga tenei a Iehu i a Paara i roto i a Iharaira.
29 But Jehu did not leave the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, by which he made Israel sin—that is, the worship of the golden calves in Bethel and 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 So Yahweh said to Jehu, “Because you have done well in executing what was right in my eyes, and have done to the house of Ahab according to all that was in my heart, your descendants will sit on the throne of Israel to the fourth generation.”
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 care to walk in the law of Yahweh, the God of Israel, with all his heart. He did not turn away from the sins of Jeroboam, by which he made Israel 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 Yahweh began to cut off regions from Israel, and Hazael defeated the Israelites at 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 the Arnon, through Gilead to 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 As for the other matters concerning Jehu, and all that he did, and all his power, are they not written in the book of the events 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 Jehu slept with his ancestors, and they buried him in Samaria. Then Jehoahaz his son became king in his place.
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 The time that Jehu reigned over Israel in Samaria was twenty-eight years.
A ko nga ra i kingi ai a Iehu ki a Iharaira i Hamaria e rua tekau ma waru nga tau.
