2 Kings 10

1 And Ahab hath seventy sons in Samaria, and Jehu writeth letters, and sendeth to Samaria, unto the heads of Jezreel, the elders, and unto the supporters of Ahab, saying,

Pea naʻe maʻu ʻe ʻEhapi ʻae foha ʻe toko fitungofulu ʻi Samēlia. Pea naʻe fai ʻe Sehu ʻae ngaahi tohi, mo ne ʻave ki Samēlia, ki he kau pule ʻi Sesilili, pea ki he kau mātuʻa, pea kiate kinautolu naʻa nau tauhi ki he fānau ʻa ʻEhapi, ʻo pehē,

2 'And now, at the coming in of this letter unto you, and with you [are] sons of your lord, and with you [are] the chariots and the horses, and a fenced city, and the armour,

“Ko eni ka mou ka maʻu leva ʻae tohi ni, ka kuo ʻiate kimoutolu ʻae ngaahi foha ʻo homou ʻeiki, pea ʻoku mou maʻu ʻae ngaahi saliote mo e ngaahi hoosi, mo e kolo tau foki, pea mo e mahafu;

3 and ye have seen the best and the uprightest of the sons of your lord, and have set [him] on the throne of his father, and fight ye for the house of your lord.'

Fili mai ʻaia ʻoku lelei hake mo ngali ʻi he ngaahi foha ʻo homou ʻeiki, pea fakanofo ia ki he nofoʻa fakatuʻi ʻo ʻene tamai, pea mou tau maʻae fale ʻo homou ʻeiki.”

4 And they fear very greatly, and say, 'Lo, the two kings have not stood before him, and how do we stand — we?'

Ka naʻa nau manavahē lahi ʻaupito, ʻonau pehē, “Vakai naʻe ʻikai faʻa tuʻu ʻi hono ʻao ʻae tuʻi ʻe toko ua: pea kapau kuo pehē te tau faʻa tuʻu fēfē ʻakitautolu?”

5 And he who [is] over the house, and he who [is] over the city, and the elders, and the supporters, send unto Jehu, saying, 'Thy servants we [are], and all that thou sayest unto us we do; we do not make any one king — that which [is] good in thine eyes do.'

Pea ko e tangata ʻaia naʻe pule ki he fale, pea mo ia naʻe pule ki he kolo, mo e kau mātuʻa foki, pea mo kinautolu naʻe tauhi [ʻae fānau], naʻa nau fekau atu kia Sehu, ʻo pehē, “Ko hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki ʻakimautolu, pea te mau fai ʻae meʻa kotoa pē te ke fekau mai; ʻe ʻikai te mau fakanofo ha tuʻi: ka ke fai ʻaia ʻoku lelei ʻi ho mata ʻoʻou.”

6 And he writeth unto them a letter a second time, saying, 'If ye [are] for me, and to my voice are hearkening, take the heads of the men — the sons of your lord, and come unto me about this time to-morrow, to Jezreel;' and the sons of the king [are] seventy men, with the great ones of the city those bringing them up.

Pea naʻa ne toki tohi ʻa hono ua ʻoe tohi kiate kinautolu, ʻo pehē, “Kapau ʻoku mou kau kiate au, pea kapau te mou fakaongo ki hoku leʻo, mou tutuʻu ʻae ʻulu ʻoe kau tangata, ʻio, ʻae ngaahi foha ʻo homou ʻeiki, pea mou omi kiate au ki Sesilili ʻi he feituʻulaʻā ni ʻapongipongi.” Ka ko eni, ko e ngaahi foha ʻoe tuʻi, ko e toko fitungofulu, naʻa nau nofo mo e houʻeiki ʻoe kolo, ʻaia naʻe tauhi ʻakinautolu.

7 And it cometh to pass, at the coming in of the letter unto them, that they take the sons of the king, and slaughter seventy men, and put their heads in baskets, and send unto him to Jezreel,

Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻene hoko mai ʻae tohi kiate kinautolu, naʻa nau ʻave ʻae ngaahi foha ʻoe tuʻi, mo nau tāmateʻi ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko fitungofulu, mo nau ʻai honau ʻulu ki he ngaahi kato, mo nau ʻave ia kiate ia ʻi Sesilili.

8 and the messenger cometh in, and declareth to him, saying, 'They have brought in the heads of the sons of the king,' and he saith, 'Make them two heaps at the opening of the gate till the morning.'

Pea naʻe haʻu ha tangata fekau, mo ne fakahā ki ai, ʻo pehē, “Kuo nau ʻomi ʻae ngaahi ʻulu ʻoe ngaahi foha ʻoe tuʻi.” Pea naʻa ne pehē, “Mou fokotuʻu ia ʻi he tuʻunga ʻe ua ʻi he hūʻanga ʻoe matanikolo ʻo aʻu ki he ʻapongipongi.”

9 And it cometh to pass in the morning, that he goeth out, and standeth, and saith unto all the people, 'Righteous are ye; lo, I have conspired against my lord, and slay him — and who smote all these?

Pea ʻi heʻene hoko ki he pongipongi, naʻa ne ʻalu atu, mo ne tuʻu ai, mo ne pehē ʻe ia ki he kakai kotoa pē, “ʻOku mou angatonu ʻakimoutolu; vakai naʻaku fai ʻae lapa ki heʻeku ʻeiki pea naʻaku tāmateʻi ia: ka ko hai naʻe tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu ni kotoa pē?

10 Know ye now, that nothing doth fall of the word of Jehovah to the earth that Jehovah spake against the house of Ahab, and Jehovah hath done that which He spake by the hand of His servant Elijah.'

Ko ia mou ʻilo eni ʻe ʻikai tō ki he kelekele ha momoʻi meʻa ʻi he folofola ʻa Sihova ʻaia naʻe folofolaʻaki ʻe Sihova ki he fale ʻo ʻEhapi: he kuo fai ʻe Sihova ʻae meʻa naʻa ne folofolaʻaki ʻi heʻene tamaioʻeiki ko ʻIlaisiā.”

11 And Jehu smiteth all those left to the house of Ahab in Jezreel, and all his great men, and his acquaintances, and his priests, till he hath not left to him a remnant.

Ko ia, naʻe tāmateʻi ʻe Sehu ʻakinautolu kotoa pē naʻe toe ʻi he fale ʻo ʻEhapi ʻi Sesilili, pea mo ʻene kakai ongoongo kotoa pē, pea mo hono kāinga, mo ʻene kautaulaʻeiki, pea naʻe ʻikai te ne tuku ke toe ha tokotaha kiate ia.

12 And he riseth, and cometh in and goeth to Samaria; he [is] at the shepherds' shearing-house in the way,

Pea naʻa ne tuʻu hake ʻo ne ʻalu, pea ne hoko ange ki Samēlia. Pea ʻi heʻene nofo ki he fale, ko e kosi ʻanga ʻoe fanga sipi, ʻi he hala,

13 and Jehu hath found the brethren of Ahaziah king of Judah, and saith, 'Who [are] ye?' and they say, 'Brethren of Ahaziah we [are], and we go down to salute the sons of the king, and the sons of the mistress.'

Naʻe fetaulaki ʻa Sehu mo e kāinga ʻo ʻAhasia ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, ʻo ne pehē, “Ko hai ʻakimoutolu?” Pea naʻa nau pehēange, “Ko e kāinga ʻakimautolu ʻo ʻAhasia; pea ʻoku mau ʻalu hifo ke ʻaʻahi fakakāinga ki he fānau ʻae tuʻi mo e fānau ʻae tuʻi fefine.”

14 And he saith, 'Catch them alive;' and they catch them alive, and slaughter them at the pit of the shearing-house, forty and two men, and he hath not left a man of them.

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Puke moʻui ʻakinautolu.” Pea naʻa nau puke moʻui pe ʻakinautolu, mo nau tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi he ngutu luo ʻi he fale ʻoe kosi ʻanga sipi, ʻio, ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko fāngofulu ma toko ua; pea naʻe ʻikai te ne tuku foki ha taha ʻokinautolu.

15 And he goeth thence, and findeth Jehonadab son of Rechab — to meet him, and blesseth him, and saith unto him, 'Is thy heart right, as my heart [is] with thy heart?' and Jehonadab saith, 'It is;' — 'Then it is; give thy hand;' and he giveth his hand, and he causeth him to come up into him into the chariot,

Pea ʻi heʻene mahuʻi atu mei he potu ko ia, naʻa ne ʻilo ʻa Sonatapi ko e foha ʻo Lekapi naʻe fakafetaulaki mai kiate ia: pea naʻa ne fetapa ki ai, mo ne pehē kiate ia, “ʻOku angatonu ho loto, ʻo hangē ko e kau ʻa hoku loto mo ho loto?” Pea naʻe pehēange ʻe Sonatapi, “ʻIo, ʻoku pehē.” “Kapau ʻoku pehē, tuku mai ho nima.” Pea naʻa ne tuku atu kiate ia ʻa hono nima; pea naʻa ne toʻo hake ia kiate ia ʻi he saliote.

16 and saith, 'Come with me, and look on my zeal for Jehovah;' and they cause him to ride in his chariot.

Pea naʻa ne pehē, Ke ta ō mo au, pea ke mamata ki heʻeku fai velenga koeʻuhi ko Sihova.” Pea pehē, naʻa nau puleʻi ia ke ne heka ki hono saliote.

17 And he cometh in to Samaria, and smiteth all those left to Ahab in Samaria, till his destroying him, according to the word of Jehovah that He spake unto Elisha.

Pea ʻi heʻene hoko atu ki Samēlia, naʻa ne tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu kotoa pē naʻe kei toe kia ʻEhapi ʻi Samēlia, koeʻuhi ke ne fakaʻauha ia, ʻo hangē ko e folofola ʻa Sihova, ʻaia naʻa ne folofolaʻaki kia ʻIlaisiā.

18 And Jehu gathereth the whole of the people, and saith unto them, 'Ahab served Baal a little — Jehu doth serve him much:

Pea naʻe tānaki ʻe Sehu ke fakataha ʻae kakai kotoa pē, mo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Naʻe tauhi siʻi pe ʻa ʻEhapi kia Peali; ka ʻe lahi ʻaupito ʻae tauhi kiate ia ʻa Sehu.

19 and now, all the prophets of Baal, all his servants, and all his priests, call ye unto me; let not a man be lacking, for a great sacrifice I have for Baal; every one who is lacking — he doth not live;' and Jehu hath done [it] in subtilty, in order to destroy the servants of Baal.

Ko ia foki, mou ui mai kiate au ʻae kau palōfita kotoa pē ʻo Peali, ʻa ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki kotoa pē, pea mo ʻene kautaulaʻeiki kotoa pē; ʻoua naʻa hala ʻi ha tokotaha: he ʻoku ai ʻa ʻeku feilaulau lahi ke u ʻatu kia Peali; ʻilonga pe ia ʻe toe, ʻe ʻikai siʻi te ne moʻui.” Ka naʻe fai eni ʻe Sehu ʻi he kākā, ko e meʻa ke ne fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu naʻe lotu kia Peali.

20 And Jehu saith, 'Sanctify a restraint for Baal;' and they proclaim [it].

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sehu, “Fanongonongo ha kātoanga mamalu kia Peali.” Pea naʻa nau fanongonongo ia.

21 And Jehu sendeth into all Israel, and all the servants of Baal come in, and there hath not been left a man who hath not come in; and they come in to the house of Baal, and the house of Baal is full — mouth to mouth.

Pea naʻe fekau atu ʻe Sehu ki ʻIsileli kātoa: pea naʻe haʻu ʻae kakai kotoa pē naʻe lotu kia Peali, ko ia naʻe ʻikai ha tangata ʻe tokotaha naʻe taʻehaʻu. Pea naʻa nau omi ki he fale ʻo Peali; pea naʻe fonu ʻaupito ʻae fale ʻo Peali mei hono tā ʻe taha ʻo aʻu ki hono tā ʻe taha.

22 And he saith to him who [is] over the wardrobe, 'Bring out clothing to all servants of Baal;' and he bringeth out to them the clothing.

Pea naʻa ne pehē kiate ia naʻe tauhi ki he fale tukunga kofu, ʻOmi kituʻa ʻae ngaahi kofu maʻanautolu ʻoku lotu kia Peali. Pea naʻa ne fetuku mai ʻae ngaahi kofu kiate kinautolu.

23 And Jehu goeth in, and Jehonadab son of Rechab, to the house of Baal, and saith to the servants of Baal, 'Search and see, lest there be here with you of the servants of Jehovah — but, the servants of Baal by themselves.'

Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Sehu, mo Sonatapi ko e foha ʻo Lekapi, ki he loto fale ʻo Peali, ʻo na pehē ki he kakai naʻe lotu kia Peali, “Mou kumi, pea vakai ke ʻoua naʻa ʻi heni mo kimoutolu ha taha ʻi he kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa Sihova, ka ko e kau lotu pe ʻo Peali.”

24 And they come in to make sacrifices and burnt-offerings, and Jehu hath set for himself in an out-place eighty men, and saith, 'The man who letteth escape [any] of the men whom I am bringing in unto your hand — his soul for his soul.'

Pea ʻi heʻenau hū ange ke ʻatu ʻae ngaahi feilaulau mo e ngaahi feilaulau tutu, naʻe fekauʻi ʻe Sehu ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko valungofulu ke tuʻu mei tuʻafale, mo ne pehē, “Kapau ʻe hao ha tokotaha ʻoe kau tangata kuo u tuku ki homou nima, ʻe totongiʻaki ʻae moʻui ʻaʻana, ʻe he moʻui ʻaʻana [kuo tuku ia ke hao].”

25 And it cometh to pass at his finishing to make the burnt-offering, that Jehu saith to the runners, and to the captains, 'Go in, smite them, let none come out;' and they smite them by the mouth of the sword, and the runners and the captains cast [them] out; and they go unto the city, to the house of Baal,

Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻene fakaʻosi leva ʻe ia ʻae ʻohake ʻoe feilaulau tutu, naʻe pehē ai ʻe Sehu ki he kau leʻo pea mo e ngaahi ʻeikitau, “Mou hū ange ki loto fale, mo tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu; ke ʻoua naʻa hao mai ha tokotaha.” Pea naʻa nau taaʻi ʻaki kinautolu ʻae mata ʻoe heletā; pea naʻe laku kituʻa ʻakinautolu ʻe he kau tangata leʻo pea mo e ngaahi ʻeikitau, mo nau ʻalu ki he kolo ʻoe fale ʻo Peali.

26 and bring out the standing-pillars of the house of Baal, and burn them,

Pea naʻa nau ʻomi kituʻa ʻae ngaahi tamapua mei he fale ʻo Peali, mo nau tutu ʻakinautolu.

27 and break down the standing-pillar of Baal, and break down the house of Baal, and appoint it for a draught-house unto this day.

Pea naʻa nau maumauʻi hifo ʻae fakatātā ʻo Peali, mo nau maumauʻi hifo ʻae fale ʻo Peali, mo ngaohi ia ko e falevao ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni.

28 And Jehu destroyeth Baal out of Israel,

Naʻe pehē ʻae fakaʻauha ʻe Sehu ʻa Peali mei ʻIsileli.

29 only — the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, that he caused Israel to sin, Jehu hath not turned aside from after them — the calves of gold that [are] at Beth-El, and in Dan.

Ka neongo eni naʻe ʻikai tafoki ʻa Sehu mei he ngaahi angahala ʻa Selopoami ko e foha ʻo Nipati ʻaia naʻa ne fakaangahalaʻi ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻio, ʻae ngaahi fakatātā ʻoe ʻuhikiʻi pulu koula ʻaia naʻe ʻi Peteli pea mo Tani.

30 And Jehovah saith unto Jehu, 'Because that thou hast done well, to do that which [is] right in Mine eyes — according to all that [is] in My heart thou hast done to the house of Ahab — the sons of the fourth [generation] do sit for thee on the throne of Israel.'

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kia Sehu, “Koeʻuhi kuo ke fai lelei ʻi hoʻo fai ʻaia ʻoku totonu ʻi hoku ʻao, pea kuo ke fai ki he fale ʻo ʻEhapi ʻo fakatatau mo ia kotoa pē naʻaku finangalo ki ai, ʻe nofo ʻa hoʻo fānau ki he nofoʻa fakatuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli ʻo aʻu ki hono fā ʻoe toʻutangata.”

31 And Jehu hath not taken heed to walk in the law of Jehovah, God of Israel, with all his heart, he hath not turned aside from the sins of Jeroboam, that he caused Israel to sin.

Ka naʻe ʻikai tokanga ʻa Sehu ke ne ʻeveʻeva ʻi he fono ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli ʻaki ʻa hono loto kātoa: he naʻe ʻikai liliu ia mei he ngaahi angahala ʻa Selopoami, ʻaia naʻe fakaangahalaʻi ʻa ʻIsileli.

32 In those days hath Jehovah begun to cut off [some] in Israel, and Hazael smiteth them in all the border of Israel,

ʻI he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia naʻe kamata motuhi ʻa ʻIsileli ʻe Sihova ʻi hono potu kotoa pē: pea naʻe teʻia ʻakinautolu ʻe Hasaeli ʻi he ngaahi mata fonua kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli;

33 from the Jordan, at the sun-rising, the whole land of Gilead, of the Gadite, and the Reubenite, and the Manassahite (from Aroer, that [is] by the brook Arnon), even Gilead and Bashan.

Mei Sioatani ʻo fai ki hahake, ʻae fonua kotoa pē ʻo Kiliati, mo e kakai Kata, mo e kakai Lupeni, mo e kakai Manase, mei ʻAloeli, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he veʻe vaitafe ʻo ʻAlanoni, ʻio, ʻo aʻu ki Kiliati pea mo Pesani.

34 And the rest of the matters of Jehu, and all that he did, and all his might, are they not written on the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Israel?

Pea ko eni, ko hono toe ʻoe ngaahi ngāue ʻa Sehu, mo ia kotoa pē naʻa ne fai, pea mo ʻene mālohi lahi, ʻikai kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi fakamatala ki he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli?

35 And Jehu lieth with his fathers, and they bury him in Samaria, and reign doth Jehoahaz his son in his stead.

Pea naʻe mohe ʻa Sehu mo ʻene ngaahi tamai: pea naʻa nau fai hono putu ʻi Samēlia. Pea naʻe fetongi ia ʻi he pule ʻe Sihoaasi ko hono foha.

36 And the days that Jehu hath reigned over Israel [are] twenty and eight years, in Samaria.

Pea ko e ngaahi ʻaho naʻe pule ai ʻa Sehu ki ʻIsileli ʻi Samēlia, ko e taʻu ʻe uofulu ma valu.
