2 Ndị Eze 10

1 Ugbu a, e nwere ụmụ Ehab ndị ikom ọnụọgụgụ ha dị iri asaa ndị nọ na Sameria, Jehu dere akwụkwọ ozi ziga Sameria, zigara ndịisi obodo Jezril, zigakwara ndị okenye na ndị na-elekọta ụmụ Ehab ndị ahụ. Ọ sịrị,

And Ahab has seventy sons in Samaria, and Jehu writes letters, and sends [them] to Samaria, to the heads of Jezreel, the elderly, and to those supporting Ahab, saying,

2 “Ugbu a, mgbe akwụkwọ a rutere unu aka, ebe unu na ụmụ ndị ikom nna unu ukwu nọ, ebe unu nwekwara ụgbọ agha na ịnyịnya, na obodo e wusiri ike na ngwa agha,

“And now, at the coming in of this letter to you, and sons of your lord [are] with you, and the chariots and the horses, and a fortified city, and the armor, [are] with you,

3 họpụtanụ onye kachasị inwe ugwu ma kwesikwa nʼime ụmụ ndị ikom nna unu ukwu, mee ka ọ nọkwasị nʼocheeze nna ya. Mgbe ahụ, buo agha chebe ụlọ nna unu ukwu.”

that you have seen the best and the most upright of the sons of your lord, and have set [him] on the throne of his father, and fight for the house of your lord.”

4 Ma ha tụrụ egwu nʼebe ọ dị ukwuu, sị, “Lee, eze abụọ enweghị ike iguzogide ya, anyị onwe anyị ga-esi aṅaa guzogide ya?”

And they fear very greatly, and say, “Behold, the two kings have not stood before him, and how do we stand—we?”

5 Ya mere, onye ọ dị nʼaka ilekọta ezinaụlọ eze, onyeisi obodo, ndị okenye na ndị niile na-elekọta ụmụ Ehab, dere akwụkwọ a zigara Jehu, sị ya, “Jehu, anyị niile bụ ndị ohu gị. Anyị jikeere ime ihe niile i gwara anyị. Anyị agaghị ahọpụta onye ọbụla dịka eze; gị onwe gị mee ihe ọbụla ị chere na ọ bụ ya kachasị mma.”

And he who [is] over the house, and he who [is] over the city, and the elderly, and those supporting, send to Jehu, saying, “We [are] your servants, and all that you say to us we do; we do not make anyone king—do that which [is] good in your eyes.”

6 Mgbe ahụ, Jehu degaara ha akwụkwọ nke ugboro abụọ sị ha, “Ọ bụrụ na unu dịnyeere m, ọ bụrụkwa na unu ga-erube isi nye m, chịrịnụ isi ụmụ ndị ikom nna unu ukwu, bịakwute m nʼotu oge a echi na Jezril.” Nʼoge ahụ, ụmụ eze iri ndị ikom asaa nọ nʼaka ndịisi obodo ahụ, ndị na-azụlite ha.

And he writes a letter to them a second time, saying, “If you [are] for me, and are listening to my voice, take the heads of the men—the sons of your lord, and come to me about this time tomorrow, to Jezreel”; and the sons of the king [are] seventy men, with the great ones of the city—those bringing them up.

7 Mgbe akwụkwọ ozi ahụ rutere ha, ndị ikom ahụ kpọrọ ụmụ ndị ikom eze dị iri asaa nʼọnụọgụgụ gbuo ha niile, chịrị isi ha tinye na nkata zigara ya Jehu na Jezril.

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

8 Mgbe onyeozi bịarutere, ọ gwara Jehu sị, “Ha ebutala isi ụmụ ndị ikom eze.” Mgbe ahụ, Jehu nyere iwu sị, “Tụkọbanụ ha ọnụ nʼoke abụọ, nʼọnụ ụzọ e si abata obodo, tutu ruo ụtụtụ.”

and the messenger comes in, and declares [it] to him, saying, “They have brought in the heads of the sons of the king,” and he says, “Make them two heaps at the opening of the gate until the morning.”

9 Nʼụtụtụ ya, Jehu pụrụ, guzoro nʼihu ndị niile gbakọrọ nʼebe ahụ gwa ha okwu sị, “Ndị Izrel, unu bụ ndị ezi omume. Ọ bụ mụ onwe m gbara izu ọjọọ megide nna m ukwu, gbuo ya, ma onye gburu ndị a niile?

And it comes to pass in the morning, that he goes out, and stands, and says to all the people, “You are righteous; behold, I have conspired against my lord, and slay him—and who struck all these?

10 Matanụ nke ọma na o nweghị okwu ọbụla Onyenwe anyị kwuru megide ezinaụlọ Ehab nke na-agaghị emezu. Onyenwe anyị emeela ihe o kwere nkwa na ọ ga-eme site nʼọnụ ohu ya Ịlaịja.”

Now you know that nothing falls of the word of YHWH to the earth that YHWH spoke against the house of Ahab, and YHWH has done that which He spoke by the hand of His servant Elijah.”

11 Emesịa, Jehu gburu ndị ikwu Ehab fọdụrụ nʼobodo Jezril, ha na ndịisi niile, na ndị enyi ya niile, na ndị nchụaja ya niile. Ọ dịkwaghị otu onye ikwu Ehab ọ hapụrụ ndụ.

And Jehu strikes all those left to the house of Ahab in Jezreel, and all his great men, and his acquaintances, and his priests, until he has not left a remnant to him.

12 Emesịakwa, Jehu hapụrụ Jezril gaa Sameria. Mgbe ọ na-aga nʼụzọ, ọ bịaruru ebe a na-akpọ Ebe Izuike Ndị ọzụzụ atụrụ.

And he rises, and comes in and goes to Samaria; he [is] at the shepherds’ shearing-house in the way,

13 Nʼebe ahụ, o zutere ndị ụmụnna Ahazaya, eze Juda, jụọ sị, “Olee ndị ka unu bụ?” Ha zara, “Anyị bụ ndị ikwu Ahazaya, eze Juda, anyị bịara ka anyị jụọ maka ọdịmma ndị ezinaụlọ eze na nne eze.”

and Jehu has found the brothers of Ahaziah king of Judah and says, “Who [are] you?” And they say, “We [are] brothers of Ahaziah, and we go down to greet the sons of the king and the sons of the mistress.”

14 O nyere iwu sị, “Jidenụ ha na ndụ.” Ha jidere ha na ndụ, gbukwaa ha niile nʼakụkụ olulu miri nke Bet-Eked. Ọnụọgụgụ ha dị iri anọ na abụọ. O nweghị onye ọbụla ọ hapụrụ ndụ.

And he says, “Catch them alive”; and they catch them alive, and slaughter them at the pit of the shearing-house, forty-two men, and he has not left [even one] man of them.

15 Mgbe o si nʼebe ahụ pụọ, o zutere Jehonadab nwa Rekab, ka ọ na-abịa izute ya. Jehu kelere ya, sị, “Obi gị, o ziri ezi nwee nkwekọrịta, dịka obi m dị nʼebe ị nọ?” Jehonadab zara sị ya, “E.” Jehu sịrị, “Ọ bụrụ na o si otu a dịrị, kwe m nʼaka.” Jehonadab kwere ya nʼaka. Jehu nʼonwe ya nyeere ya aka ka ọ rigota nʼụgbọ agha ya.

And he goes there, and finds Jehonadab son of Rechab to meet him, and blesses him, and says to him, “Is your heart right, as my heart [is] with your heart?” And Jehonadab says, “It is.” “Then it is; give your hand”; and he gives his hand, and he causes him to come up into the chariot to him,

16 Mgbe ahụ, Jehu sịrị ya, “Ugbu a, soro m bịa lee ụdị ịnụ ọkụ nʼobi m nwere maka ọrụ Onyenwe anyị.” Ha abụọ sooro nʼụgbọ agha Jehu.

and says, “Come with me, and look on my zeal for YHWH”; and they cause him to ride in his chariot.

17 Mgbe ha bịaruru Sameria, Jehu gburu ndị enyi na ndị ikwu Ehab niile, ndị fọdụrụ site nʼikwu Ehab, o bibiri ha dịka okwu Onyenwe anyị kwuru site nʼọnụ onye amụma Ịlaịja.

And he comes to Samaria, and strikes all those left to Ahab in Samaria, until his destroying him, according to the word of YHWH that He spoke to Elisha.

18 Emesịa, Jehu kpọkọtara ndị obodo ahụ niile sị ha, “Ehab fere Baal ofufe nke nta, Jehu ga-efe ya ebe ọ dị ukwuu.

And Jehu gathers the whole of the people and says to them, “Ahab served Ba‘al a little—Jehu serves him much:

19 Ugbu a, kpọkọtaanụ ndị amụma Baal niile, ndị niile na-efe ya, na ndị nchụaja ya niile. Hụnụ na onye ọbụla nʼime ha bịara, nʼihi na a ga-eme oke mmemme ịchụ aja nye Baal. Onye ọbụla e lere anya ya nʼebe ahụ, ma a hụghị ya, agaghị adị ndụ.” Ma Jehu ji aghụghọ nʼihi ka ọ laa ndị a na-efe Baal nʼiyi.

and now, all the prophets of Ba‘al, all his servants, and all his priests, call to me; do not let a man be lacking, for I have a great sacrifice for Ba‘al; everyone who is lacking—he does not live”; and Jehu has done [it] in subtlety, in order to destroy the servants of Ba‘al.

20 Jehu sịrị, “Kpọsaanụ na a ga-enwe oke mkpọkọta dị nsọ nye Baal.” Ya mere, ha kwusara ya.

And Jehu says, “Sanctify a restraint for Ba‘al”; and they proclaim [it].

21 O zipụrụ ozi nye ndị bi nʼakụkụ Izrel niile. Ndị niile na-efe Baal bịazuru. Ọ dịghị onye fọdụrụ nke na-abịaghị. Ha jupụtara nʼụlọnsọ ukwu Baal site nʼotu isi ya ruo nʼisi nke ọzọ.

And Jehu sends into all Israel, and all the servants of Ba‘al come in, and there has not been left a man who has not come in; and they come into the house of Ba‘al, and the house of Ba‘al is full—mouth to mouth.

22 Jehu sịrị onye na-elekọta ụlọ ebe a na-edebe uwe ndị na-efe ofufe na-eyi, “Chịpụta uwe nye ndị niile na-efe Baal.” Ya mere, ọ chịpụtaara ha uwe.

And he says to him who [is] over the wardrobe, “Bring out clothing for all those serving Ba‘al”; and he brings out the clothing to them.

23 Mgbe ahụ, Jehu na Jehonadab nwa Rekab, banyere nʼebe nzukọ Baal. Jehu sịrị ndị nʼefe Baal, “Chọzienụ nke ọma ka unu hụ na o nweghị onye ọbụla na-efe Onyenwe anyị nọ nʼebe a, karịakwa naanị ndị na-efe Baal.”

And Jehu goes in—and Jehonadab son of Rechab—to the house of Ba‘al, and says to the servants of Ba‘al, “Search and see, lest there be [any] from the servants of YHWH here with you—but [only] the servants of Ba‘al by themselves.”

24 Mgbe ha malitere ịchụ aja na isure ihe nsure ọkụ, Jehu emeelarị ka iri ndị agha asatọ gbaa ụlọ ahụ niile gburugburu. O nyelarị iwu sị, “Ọ bụrụ na unu ekwere ka otu onye si nʼime ụlọ a gbapụ, unu ga-eji ndụ unu kwụghachi ụgwọ onye dị otu ahụ.”

And they come in to make sacrifices and burnt-offerings, and Jehu has set eighty men for himself in an out-place, and says, “The man who lets [any] of the men whom I am bringing into your hand escape—his soul for his soul.”

25 Ngwangwa Jehu chụchasịrị aja nsure ọkụ, ọ pụrụ gwa ndị agha ya, na ndịisi ha okwu sị, “Baanụ nʼime ụlọ gbuo ndị niile nọ nʼebe ahụ. Unu ekwela ka otu onye nʼime ha gbapụ.” Ha jiri mma agha gbuo ndị ahụ nọ nʼime ụlọ Baal, tụpụta ozu ha nʼezi. Emesịa, ndị agha Jehu banyere nʼime ime ụlọ ebe ịchụ aja Baal,

And it comes to pass, at his finishing to make the burnt-offering, that Jehu says to the runners and to the captains, “Go in, strike them, let none come out”; and they strike them by the mouth of the sword, and the runners and the captains cast [them] out; and they go to the city, to the house of Ba‘al,

26 ha bupụtara ogidi nsọ e ji efe Baal, kpọọ ha ọkụ.

and bring out the standing-pillars of the house of Ba‘al, and burn them,

27 Ha kwaturu ogidi nsọ Baal, kwatukwaa ụlọ ịchụ aja ya. Ya mere e megharịrị ya ka ọ bụrụ ebe ọha mmadụ na-aga ogwe ruo taa.

and break down the standing-pillar of Ba‘al, and break down the house of Ba‘al, and appoint it for a latrine to this day.

28 Jehu kpochapụrụ ofufe Baal nʼala Izrel niile.

And Jehu destroys Ba‘al out of Israel,

29 Ma otu ọ dị, o siteghị na mmehie Jeroboam nwa Nebat wezuga onwe ya. Mmehie nke Jeroboam mere ka Izrel mehie, ya bụ, mmehie nke ife arụsị ụmụ ehi e ji ọlaedo kpụọ, dị na Betel na Dan.

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

30 Onyenwe anyị gwara Jehu sị, “Nʼihi na i mere nke ọma mezuo ihe niile ziri ezi nʼanya m, nʼebe ezinaụlọ Ehab nọ, nʼusoro ihe niile dị nʼuche m ime, ụmụ ụmụ gị ga-anọkwasị nʼocheeze Izrel, ruo nʼọgbọ nke anọ ha.”

And YHWH says to Jehu, “Because that you have done well, to do that which [is] right in My eyes—according to all that [is] in My heart you have done to the house of Ahab—the sons of the fourth [generation] sit on the throne of Israel for you.”

31 Ma Jehu akpachapụghị anya iji obi ya niile debe iwu Onyenwe anyị, Chineke Izrel. O siteghị na mmehie Jeroboam wezuga onwe ya, bụ mmehie ahụ o mere ka Izrel mee.

And Jehu has not taken heed to walk in the Law of YHWH, God of Israel, with all his heart; he has not turned aside from the sins of Jeroboam that he caused Israel to sin.

32 Nʼoge ahụ, Onyenwe anyị malitere ime ka ndị Izrel bido ịdị nta. Hazael eze Aram, buru agha merie ọtụtụ akụkụ Izrel,

In those days YHWH has begun to cut off [some] in Israel, and Hazael strikes them in all the border of Israel,

33 nke dị nʼọwụwa anyanwụ osimiri Jọdan, na ala niile nke Gilead (nʼoke ala ndị Gad, na nke ndị Ruben, na Manase), site nʼAroea nke dị nʼakụkụ ndagwurugwu Anọn, ruo Gilead na Bashan.

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

34 Akụkọ gbasara ọchịchị eze Jehu, na ihe niile o mere, na ịkpa ike ya niile, e deghị ha nʼakwụkwọ akụkọ ndị eze Izrel?

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

35 Jehu sooro ndị nna nna ya ha dina nʼọnwụ, e lie ya na Sameria. Nwa ya bụ Jehoahaz nọchiri anya ya dịka eze.

And Jehu lies with his fathers, and they bury him in Samaria, and his son Jehoahaz reigns in his stead.

36 Ma ụbọchị niile Jehu bụ eze Izrel nʼime Sameria dị iri afọ abụọ na asatọ.

And the days that Jehu has reigned over Israel in Samaria [are] twenty-eight years.
