< 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 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,
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;
“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,
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.
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.”
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 terrified and said among themselves, “See, the two kings could not stand before Jehu. So how can we stand?”
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.
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.”
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.”
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?
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?
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.
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.”
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 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.
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 Jehu arose and left; he went to Samaria. As he was arriving at Beth Eked of the shepherd,
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.
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.”
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Jehu said, “Come with me and see my zeal for Yahweh.” So he had Jonadab ride along with him in his chariot.
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.
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.
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 gathered all the people together and said to them, “Ahab served Baal a little, but Jehu will serve him much.
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 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.
20 I aku la o Iehu, E hoolaa aku i ka houluulu ana no Baala. A hoolaa aku la lakou.
Jehu said, “Set a time to have an assembly for Baal.” So they announced it.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.”
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 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.”
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.
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.
26 A lawe mai lakou i na kii mawaho o ka hale o Baala, a puhi aku la i ke ahi.
They dragged out the stone pillars that were in the house of Baal, and they burned them.
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.
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.
28 A luku aku la o Iehu ia Baala mai loko aku o ka Iseraela.
That is how Jehu destroyed Baal worship from 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 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.
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.
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.”
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 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.
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 Yahweh began to cut off regions from Israel, and Hazael defeated the Israelites at the borders 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.
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.
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?
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?
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.
Jehu slept with his ancestors, and they buried him in Samaria. Then 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.
The time that Jehu reigned over Israel in Samaria was twenty-eight years.
