II Na Lii 10

1 A HE kanahiku na keiki a Ahaba ma Samaria. A kakau iho la o Iehu i na palapala, hoouna aku i Samaria, na na luna o Iezereela, na na luna kahiko, a na na kahu o na keiki a Ahaba, i ka i ana'e,

Now there were in Samaria seventy of Ahab's sons. And Jehu sent letters to Samaria, to the rulers of the town, and to the responsible men, and to those who had the care of the sons of Ahab, saying,

2 Ano, a hiki aku keia palapala io oukou la, no ka noho ana o na keiki a ko oukou haku me oukou, a ia oukou na halekaa a me na lio, a me ke kulanakauhale paa i ka papohaku, a me na mea kaua;

Straight away, when you get this letter, seeing that your master's sons are with you, and that you have carriages and horses and a walled town and arms;

3 E imi aku oukou i ka mea maikai a me ka mea pono o na keiki a ko oukou haku, a e hoonoho ia ia maluna o ka nohoalii o kona makuakane, a e kaua mai no ko ka hale o ko oukou haku.

Take the best and most upright of your master's sons, and make him king in his father's place, and put up a fight for your master's family.

4 A makau loa iho la lakou, i ae la, Aia hoi, aole i ku na'lii elua imua ona; pehea la kakou e ku ai?

But they were full of fear, and said, The two kings have gone down before him: how may we keep our place?

5 A o ka luna o ko ka hale, a me ka luna o ke kulanakauhale, o na lunakahiko, a me na haku, hoouna aku la lakou io Iehu la, i aku la, He poe kauwa makou nau, a e hana no makou i na mea a pau au e olelo mai ai; aole e hoaliiia kekahi; e hana oe i ka mea pono i kou manao.

So the controller of the king's house, with the ruler of the town, and the responsible men, and those who had the care of Ahab's sons, sent to Jehu, saying, We are your servants and will do all your orders; we will not make any man king; do whatever seems best to you.

6 Alaila palapala hou aku la oia ia lakou, i aku la, ina no'u oukou, a e hoolohe hoi i ko'u leo, alaila, e lawe oukou i na poo o na kanaka, o na keiki a ko oukou haku, a e hele mai i o'u nei i Iezereela ma keia manawa i ka la apopo. (A o na keiki a ke alii, he kanahiku lakou e noho ana me na kanaka koikoi o ke kulanakauhale, nana lakou i hanai.)

Then he sent them a second letter, saying, If you are on my side, and if you will do my orders, come to me at Jezreel by this time tomorrow, with the heads of your master's sons. Now the king's seventy sons were with the great men of the town, who had the care of them.

7 A hiki aku ka palapala io lakou la, lawe lakou i na keiki a ke alii, a pepehi iho la i na mea he kanahiku, a waiho lakou i na poo maloko o na hinai, a hoouna aku io na la ma Iezereela.

And when the letter came to them, they took the king's sons and put them to death, all the seventy, and put their heads in baskets and sent them to him at Jezreel.

8 A hele mai kekahi elele a hai aku ia ia, i aku la, Ua lawe mai lakou i na poo o na keiki a ke alii. I mai la ia, E waiho ia lakou ma na puu elua, ma kahi i komo ai i ka ipuka, a kakahiaka.

And a man came and said to him, They have come with the heads of the king's sons. And he said, Put them down in two masses at the doorway of the town till the morning.

9 A i kakahiaka, hele aku ia, a ku, i aku la i na kanaka a pau, Ua pono oukou: aia hoi, ua kipi aku au i kuu haku, a pepehi aku ia ia: aka, owai la ka i pepehi i keia mau mea a pau?

And in the morning he went out and, stopping, said to all the people there, You are upright men: it is true that I made designs against my master, and put him to death; but who is responsible for the death of all these?

10 E ike ana oukou, aole e haule i ka honua kekahi o ka olelo a Iehova i olelo mai ai no ko ka hale o Ahaba: no ka mea, ua hana mai o Iehova i ka mea ana i olelo mai ai ma o Elia la kana kauwa.

You may be certain that nothing which the Lord has said about the family of Ahab will be without effect; for the Lord has done what he said by his servant Elijah.

11 A pepehi aku la o Iehu i na mea a pau i koe no ko ka hale o Ahaba ma Iezereela, a me kona poe koikoi a pau, a me kona poe hoalauna, a me kana poe kahuna, aole ia i hookoe i kekahi nona.

So Jehu put to death all the rest of the seed of Ahab in Jezreel, and all his relations and his near friends and his priests, till there were no more of them.

12 A ku ae la ia, a hele aku la a hiki i Samaria. Aia no ia ma ka hale hoopaa o na kahuhipa ma ke aia.

Then he got up and came to Samaria. And he was at the meeting-place of the keepers of sheep, by the way,

13 A loaa ia Iehu na hoahanau o Ahazia ke alii o ka Iuda, a ninau aku la, Owai oukou? I mai la lakou, He mau hoahanau makou no Ahazia, a e iho ana makou e ike i na keiki a ke alii a me na keiki a ke aliiwahine.

When he came across the brothers of Ahaziah, king of Judah, and said, Who are you? And they said, We are the brothers of Ahaziah, king of Judah; we are going down to see the children of the king and of the queen.

14 I aku la, E hoopaa ola aku ia lakou: a hoopaa ola aku la na kanaka ia lakou, a luku aku la ia lakou ma ka luawai o ka hale hoopaa, he kanaha kumamalua na kanaka; aole ia i hookoe i kekahi o lakou.

And he said, Take them living. So they took them living, and put them to death in the water-hole of Beth-eked; of the forty-two men he put every one to death;

15 A hele ia mailaila aku a loaa ia ia o Iehonadaba ke keiki a Rekaba e halawai me ia: a hoomaikai aku o Iehu ia ia, i aku la, Ua pono anei kou naau, e like me ko'u naau me kou naau? I mai la o Iehonadaba, Oia no. Ina pela, e haawi mai oe i kou lima. A haawi aku ia i kona lima, a hoee aku la ia ia ma ka halekaa me ia.

And when he had gone away from there, he came across Jehonadab, the son of Rechab: and he said good-day to him, and said to him, Is your heart true to mine, as mine is to yours? And Jehonadab in answer said, It is; and Jehu said, If it is, give me your hand. And he gave him his hand, and he made him come up into his carriage.

16 I aku la ia, E hele pu oe me au, a ike oe i kuu ikaika no Iehova. A hooholo lakou ia ia ma kona halekaa.

And he said, Come with me and see how I am on fire for the Lord's cause. So he made him go with him in his carriage.

17 A hiki aku la ia i Samaria, pepehi aku la ia i na mea a pau i koe no Ahaba ma Samaria, a pau ia i ka lukuia, e like me ka olelo a Iehova ana i olelo mai ai ma o Elia la.

And when he came to Samaria, he put to death all those of Ahab's family who were still in Samaria, till there were no more of them, as the Lord had said to Elijah.

18 Houluulu ae la o Iehu i na kanaka a pau, a i aku la ia lakou, Malama uuku aku o Ahaba ia Baala, e malama nui auanei o Iehu ia ia.

Then Jehu got all the people together and said to them, Ahab was Baal's servant in a small way, but Jehu will be his servant on a great scale.

19 Ano hoi, e hoakoakoa mai oukou i na kaula a pau a Baala, a me kana poe kauwa a pau, a me kana poe kahuna a pau io'u nei, mai hookoeia kekahi; no ka mea, he mohai nui ka'u no Baala; o kela mea keia mea e koe ana, aole ia e ola. Aka, hana no o Iehu me ka hoopunipuni, i luku aku ai ia i ka poe malama ia Baala.

Now send for all the prophets of Baal and all his servants and all his priests, to come to me; let no one keep away: for I have a great offering to make to Baal; anyone who is not present, will be put to death. This Jehu did with deceit, his purpose being the destruction of the servants of Baal.

20 I aku la o Iehu, E hoolaa aku i ka houluulu ana no Baala. A hoolaa aku la lakou.

And Jehu said, Let there be a special holy meeting for the worship of Baal. So a public statement was made.

21 A hoouna aku la o Iehu i ka Iseraela a puni; a hele mai na kauwa a pau a Baala, aole i koe aku kekahi i hele ole mai. A komo lakou i ka hale o Baala, a piha loa ka hale o Baala mai kela aoao a i keia aoao.

And Jehu sent out through all Israel; and all the servants of Baal came, not one kept away. And they came into the house of Baal, so that it was full from end to end.

22 I aku la ia i ka mea nana i malama ke keena lole, E lawe mai iwaho i ka lole no na kauwa a Baala. A lawe mai no ia i ka lole no lakou.

And Jehu said to him who kept the robes, Get out robes for all the servants of Baal. So he got out robes for them.

23 Komo aku o Iehu, a me Iehonadaba, ke keiki a Rekaba, iloko o ka hale o Baala, a i aku la i na kauwa a Baala, E nana oukou a ike, i ole maanei me oukou kekahi o na kauwa a Iehova, o na kauwa a Baala wale no.

And Jehu, with Jehonadab, the son of Rechab, went into the house of Baal; and he said to the servants of Baal, Make a search with care, to see that no servant of the Lord is with you, but only servants of Baal.

24 A komo aku la lakou e kaumaha aku i ka mohai, a me na mohaikuni, alaila hoonoho iho la o Iehu i na kanaka, he kanawalu mawaho, i aku la, O ka mea nana e hoopakele kekahi o na kanaka a'u i lawe mai nei iloko o ko oukou lima, o lilo no kona ola no ko ia la ola.

Then they went in to make offerings and burned offerings. Now Jehu had put eighty men outside, and said to them, If any man whom I give into your hands gets away, the life of him who lets him go will be the price of his life.

25 A pau kana kaumaha ana'ku i ka mohaikuni, i aku la o Iehu i ka poe kiai, a i na luna, E komo iloko, e luku ia lakou; mai puka iwaho kekahi. A luku aku la ua poe la ia lakou me ka maka o ka pahikaua; a o ka poe kiai a me na luna hoolei aku la ia lakou, a hele aku la i ke kulanakauhale o Baala.

Then when the burned offering was ended, straight away Jehu said to the armed men and the captains, Go in and put them to death; let not one come out. So they put them to the sword; and, pulling the images to the earth, they went into the holy place of the house of Baal.

26 A lawe mai lakou i na kii mawaho o ka hale o Baala, a puhi aku la i ke ahi.

And they took out the image of Asherah from the house of Baal, and had it burned.

27 A wawahi lakou i ke kii o Baala, a wawahi hoi i ka hale o Baala, a hoolilo lakou ia mea i hale kiona a hiki i keia la.

The altar of Baal was pulled down and the house of Baal was broken up and made an unclean place, as it is to this day.

28 A luku aku la o Iehu ia Baala mai loko aku o ka Iseraela.

So Jehu put an end to the worship of Baal in Israel.

29 Aka hoi, o na hewa o Ieroboama ke keiki a Nebata, nana i hoolilo ka Iseraela i ka hewa, aole i haalele o Iehu i ka hahai ana mamuli o lakou, o na keikibipi gula ma Betela a ma Dana.

But Jehu did not keep himself from all the sins of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, and the evil he made Israel do; the gold oxen were still in Beth-el and in Dan.

30 A olelo mai o Iehova ia Iehu, no ka mea, ua maikai oe i ka hana ana i ka pono ia'u, a ua hana aku oe i ko ka hale o Ahaba, e like me ka mea a pau ma ko'u naau, e noho auanei kau poe keiki maluna o ka nohoalii o ka Iseraela a hiki i ke kualua.

And the Lord said to Jehu, Because you have done well in doing what is right in my eyes and effecting all my purpose for the family of Ahab, your sons will be kings of Israel to the fourth generation.

31 Aka, aole o Iehu i malama i ka hele ana ma ke kanawai o Iehova ke Akua o ka Iseraela me kona naau a pau: no ka mea, aole ia i haalele i na hewa o Ieroboama, nana i hoolilo ka Iseraela i ka hewa.

But Jehu did not take care to keep the law of the Lord with all his heart: he did not keep himself from the sin which Jeroboam did and made Israel do.

32 I kela manawa i hoomaka ai o Iehova e paipai i ka Iseraela: a luku mai la o Hazaela ia lakou ma na mokuna a pau o ka Iseraela;

In those days the Lord was angry first with Israel; and Hazael made attacks on all the land of Israel,

33 Mai Ioredane, mai ka hikina o ka la, i ka aina a pau o Gileada, i ka Gada, a me ka Reubena, a me ka Manase, mai Aroera ma ke kahawai o Arenona, a hiki i Gileada a me Basana.

East of Jordan, in all the land of Gilead, the Gadites and the Reubenites and the Manassites, from Aroer by the valley of the Arnon, all Gilead and Bashan.

34 A o na mea i koe a Iehu, a o na mea a pau ana i hana'i, a me kona ikaika a pau, aole anei i kakauia lakou iloko o ka buke oihanaalii a na'lii o ka Iseraela?

Now the rest of the acts of Jehu, and all he did, and his great power, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Israel?

35 A hiamoe iho la o Iehu me kona poe makua; a kanu lakou ia ia ma Samaria. A noho alii o Iehoahaza kana keiki ma kona wahi.

And Jehu went to rest with his fathers, and was put into the earth in Samaria. And Jehoahaz his son became king in his place.

36 A o ka manawa a Iehu i alii ai maluna o ka Iseraela ma Samaria, he iwakalua na makahiki ia a me kumamawalu.

And the time of Jehu's rule over Israel in Samaria was twenty-eight years.
