2 Kva 10

1 Hanki Ahapu ne'mofavreramine, mago'a agri agehe'za 70'a venene Sameria rankumapina mani'naze. Ana hu'nageno Jehu'a, Sameria rankumate ranra vahe'ene, kva vahete'ene, Ahapu ne'mofavre nagate'ma kegavama hunezmante'za vahetega amanage huno avona kretre'ne.

There were seventy descendants of King Ahab who were living there in Samaria. Jehu wrote a letter [and made copies of it] and sent them to the rulers of the city, to the elders, and to those who raised and tutored Ahab’s children.

2 Menina tamagra hanave have kegina agu'afi mani'netma, hosi afutamine karisine, ha'zantaminena antazageno, kva ne'tami Ahapu ne'mofavre naga'mo'zanena tamagra mani'naze. E'ina hu'negu tamagrama ama nagri avoma hamprita antahisutma,

[This is what he wrote]: “You are the ones who are [taking care of] the king’s descendants. You have chariots and horses and weapons, and you live in cities that have walls around them. So as soon as you receive this letter,

3 kva ne'tmimofo Ahapu ne'mofavre naga'pinti'ma mago knare huno kinima maniga'ma hu'nesia ne' azeri otinkeno kinitamia manino. Ana hu'nesigeta nefa agima fanane hu'zankura, aza huta hara nehinkeno kinia manino vino.

choose one of the king’s sons, the one who is the best qualified, and appoint him to be your king. Then [prepare to] fight to defend him.”

4 Hianagi ugagota vahe'ene, ranra kva vahemo'zanena ana avoma hampri'za nege'za tusi zamagogogu nehu'za, amanage hu'za hu'naze, Jehu'a ko tare kini netre'na hara hu zanagatere'ne. E'ina hu'negu tagra amuhara osu'nonankita, hara huontegahune.

But [when they got those letters from Jehu and read them], they became very afraid. They said, “King Joram and King Ahaziah could not resist him; (how can we resist him?/we cannot possibly resist him!)” [RHQ]

5 Hanki kini ne'mofo nonte'ma kvama hu'nea neki, rankumate'ma kvama hu'nea neki, mago'a ugota kva vaheki, Ahapu mofavre nagate'ma kvama hu'naza vahe'mo'zanena amanage hu'za Jehuna kea atrente'naze. Tagra kagri eri'za vahe mani'nonankita kagrama hana nanekege'za antahigahune. Tagra mago kini nera azeri oraotigahune. E'ina hu'negu nazanoma huku'ma hananazana amne hugahane.

So the officer who was in charge of the palace and the mayor of the city sent a message to Jehu saying, “We want to serve you, and we are ready to do whatever you tell us to do. We will not appoint anyone to become our king. You do whatever you think is best.”

6 Anagema hazageno'a, mago'ene anante avona Jehu'a amanage huno kretre'ne. Hanki tamagrama nagri kazigama mani'neta nagri kema antahinaku'ma hanuta, okina ama ananknare Ahapu mofavre nagamokizmi zamasenia akafrita erita Jesrili kumate eho, huno kea atrezmante'ne. Hanki Ahapu ne'mofavre'ramine, mago'a agri agehe'mozanena 70'a venene mani'nage'za, Sameria rankumapi ranra kva vahe'mo'za rempi hunezmi'za kegava huzmantage'za mani'naze.

So Jehu sent a second letter to them, writing this: “If you (are on my side/want to help me), and if you are ready to obey me, [kill] King Ahab’s descendants [and cut off their heads and] bring their heads to me here in Jezreel at this time tomorrow.” The seventy descendants of King Ahab were being brought up and supervised by the leaders of [Samaria] city.

7 Hanki ana kva vahe'mo'za Jehu'ma kretre'nea avoma erite'za, Ahapu ne'mofavreramina 70'a zamahe fri'naze. Anama hute'za zamanankena kitagiza ekaeka kutamimpi eririte'za atrazage'za Jehu'ma Jesrili kumate mani'nerega eri'za vu'naze.

When they received the letter from Jehu, they killed all seventy of Ahab’s descendants and [cut off their heads]. They put their heads in baskets and sent them to Jehu at Jezreel.

8 Hanki kema erino e'nea ne'mo'a Jehuna eme asamino, hago Ahapu ne'mofavre'ramimofo zamasenia eri'za neaze huno asmi'ne. Anagema higeno'a, Jehu'a asamino, erita vutma kuma kafante tarefi kevu ome antenkeno me'nenigeno vuno nanteraseno hu'ne.

A messenger came to Jehu and told him, “They have brought the heads of Ahab’s descendants.” So Jehu commanded that the heads should be put in two piles at the city gate and that the heads should stay there until the next morning.

9 Hanki ko'matigeno'a Jehu'a atiramino ome oti'neno, ana maka vahera amanage huno zamasami'ne, nagra kva ne'ni'a Joramuna azeri atresue hu'na antahintahi hu'ne'na ahe fri'noankino, tamagripina keaga omne'ne. Hu'neanagi ama vahetamina iza zamahe fri'ne?

The next morning he went out [to the city gate] and said to all the people, “I am the one who plotted against King Joram and killed him. You are not guilty of doing that. But [it was Yahweh, not I] [RHQ] who [commanded that] all these [descendants of Ahab should be] killed.

10 Anage nehuno Jehu'a zamasamino, Menina antahiho ana maka kema Ra Anumzamo'ma eri'za vahe'a Elaija agipima huvazino'ma Ahapu nagaku'ma huama'ma hu'nea kemo'a, ana maka nena raga fore hie.

So you need to know that everything that Yahweh said would happen has happened. He has caused to happen what he told the prophet Elijah would happen.”

11 Nehuno Jehu'a Ahapu naga'nofima mago'a Jesrilima mani'naza naga'ene, Ahapu eri'za vahe'ene, knare rone'aramine, agri pristi eri'za vahe'anena, magore huno zamatrege'za ofre'nazanki, ana maka zamahe fri vagare'ne.

Then Jehu executed all the other relatives of Ahab in Jezreel, and all Ahab’s officers, and close friends, and his priests. He did not allow any of them to remain alive.

12 Hanki Jehu'a sondia naga'ane Jesrilitira atreno otino Sameria vunaku karanka nevuno, mago kumara sipisipi kva vahe'mo'za atru nehaza kuma agi'a, Bet-Eketi vu'ne.

Then Jehu left [Jezreel] and went toward Samaria. While he was going there, at a place called ‘Shepherds’ Camp’,

13 Anante nevuno Jehu'a Juda kini ne' Ahazia naga ome nezamageno anage hu'ne, tamagra iza nagare, huno zamantahige'ne. Hanki zamagra kenona'a hu'za, tagra Ahazia nagamota Jesrili vuta kini ne' Joramune, agri nerera kuini a' Jesebeli naga ome zamagenaku neone.

he met some relatives of King Ahaziah of Judah. He asked them, “Who are you?” They replied, “We are relatives of King Ahaziah. We are going to Jezreel to visit the children of Queen Jezebel and the other members of King [Joram’s] family.”

14 Anagema Jehu'a nentahino'a naga'amofo zamasamino, zamazeriho hige'za zamazerite'za zamavare'za vu'za Bet-Eketi tinkeri tva'onte ana maka 42'a vahera magore hu'za ozmatre'za zamahe vagare'naze.

Jehu said to his men, “Seize them!” So they seized them and killed all of them at the pit named Beth-Eked. There were 42 people whom they killed; they did not allow any of them to remain alive.

15 Hagi ananteti'ma atre'za nevu'za, Rekabu nemofo Jehonadabu'a Jehu keku ne-ea ne' ome negeno, Jehu'a hu frufra kea amanage huno hunte'ne. Nagra kagrira mago narimpa hugante'noanki, kagra mago krimpa nagrira hunenantano? Higeno Jehonadabu'a huno, Izo nagra mago narimpa hunegantoe. Anage higeno e'inama hu'nesiana kza ante'nagamato higeno, azana ante anagamutegeno Jehu'a azante avazuhu anagama karisi'afi atre'ne.

Then Jehu [continued to travel toward Samaria]. Along the road, he was met by Jonadab, a leader of the Rechab clan. Jehu greeted him and said to him, “Are you as devoted to me [IDM] as I am devoted to you?” Jonadab replied, “Yes, I am.” Jehu said, “If you are, shake hands with me.” So Jonadab shook hands with him, and Jehu helped him to get into his chariot.

16 Anante Jehu'a amanage huno asami'ne, Nagrane ne-enka Ra Anumzamofoma hanavematina amage'manentoa avu'avara ko, huno higeke, magoka karisifi vu'na'e.

Jehu said to him, “Come with me, and you will see that I am very devoted to Yahweh.” So they rode together to Samaria.

17 Hagi Sameriama ete'za, anampima Ahapu naga'ma mago'a mani'naza vahera Jehu'a eme zamahe vagare'ne. E'inama hu'neana Ra Anumzamo eri'za ne'a Elaija agipima huvazino huama hu'nea kemo nena raga'a fore hu'ne.

When they arrived in Samaria, Jehu killed all of Ahab’s relatives who were still alive. He did not (spare any of them/allow any of them to remain alive). That was what Yahweh told Elijah would happen.

18 Anante Jehu'a ana maka vahe zamavare atru huteno amanage huno zamasami'ne, Ahapu'a avamente havi anumza Balintera monora hunte'ne. Hianagi nagra rugatere'na havi anumza Balintera monora huntegahue.

Then Jehu summoned all the people [of Samaria], and said to them, “King Ahab was devoted to [your god] Baal a little bit, but I will serve him much more.

19 E'ina hu'negu menina havi anumza Balimofo kasnampa vaheki, pristi eri'za vahe'agi, ana maka Balinte'ma mono'ma hunentaza vahe'enena kehinke'za evagareho. Na'ankure nagra Balintega tusi'a ofa kresramna vunte'za nehue. Hanki omesimofona ahe frigahue. E'inagema hu'neana Jehu'a havige huno Bali havi anumzante mono'ma hunentaza vahe zamahe friku anagea hu'ne.

So now summon all the prophets of Baal, all of Baal’s priests, and all the others who worship Baal. I am going to make a great sacrifice to Baal. I want all of them to be there. Any of them who is not there will be executed.” But Jehu was planning to trick them; he was planning to kill all those who worshiped Baal.

20 Anante Jehu'a zamasamino, Hanki Bali havi anumzamofo agifi mago kna erinteta monora huntesune, huno hige'za mago kna erintete'za ana knagura maka vahe zamasami vagare'naze.

Then Jehu commanded, “Announce that we are going to set aside a day to honor Baal.” So they did that.

21 Hagi Jehu'a maka Israeli mopafima havi anumza Balima mono hunentaza vahera ke hige'za, mono no zmifina eme mani avite'naze.

Jehu [decided what day they would gather and] sent messages throughout Israel [telling everyone what day to gather on], and on that day, everyone who worshiped Baal came. No one stayed at home. They all went into the huge temple of Baal and filled it from one end to the other.

22 Hagi anante antanine'za Balima mono'ma hunentaza kukenama nentaza bogisire'ma kvama nehia nera Jehu'a asamino, Bogisifintira kukena erinka Balinte'ma mono'ma hunentaza vahera zamio, higeno ana ne'mo'a kema hiaza huno ana kukenaramina eri fegi atre'ne.

Jehu told the priest who took care of the sacred robes to bring them out and give them to the people who worshiped Baal. So the priest did that.

23 Anante Jehu'ene Rekabu nemofo Jehonadabukea ana havi anumza Balimofo mono nompi ufreteke, Jehu'a amanage huno Bali havi anumzante mono'ma hunentaza vahera zamasami'ne. Tamagrake'za amafina manigahaze. Hanki amu'nontamifima Ra Anumzamofoma mono'ma hunentesaza vahe'ma mani'nesagura haketa ke so'e hiho.

Then Jehu went into the temple of Baal with Jonadab, and he said to the people who were there to worship Baal, “Be sure that only those who worship Baal are here. Be sure that no one who worships Yahweh has come in.”

24 Anagema hutekea Jehu'ene Jehonadabukea umrerike havi anumza Balimofoma kresramnama vunentaza itare tevefima kre fanenehu ofane, mago'a ofanena Balintega ofa hunte'na'e. Hanki korapara ana vahe'ma nompima emareorinageno, megi'a kva hiho huno, 80'a sondia vahe Jehu'a huzamantege'za kva nehazageno, amanage huno zamasami'ne, Balinte'ma mono'ma hunentaza vahera ana maka zamahe fri vagareho. Hagi iza'o mago vahe'ma atresigeno'ma koro fre'nia nera, anama fre'nia ne'mofo nona'a huno agra frigahie.

Then he and Jonadab prepared to offer sacrifices and other offerings to Baal that would be completely burned [on the altar that was there in Samaria]. But Jehu had stationed eighty of his men outside the temple, and had said to them, “I want you to kill all the people [who are in the temple]. Anyone who allows one of them to escape will be executed!”

25 Anante Jehu'ma tevefima kre fanenehu ofama huteno'a, sondia vahe'ane kva vahe'anena huzamanteno, nompi ufreta magore huta ozamatreta ana maka zamahe vagareho. Anagema hige'za ufre'za ana maka vahera kazinteti zamahe vagarete'za, zamavufaga'a eri'za kumamofo fegi'a ome atre'naze. Anama hute'za ete e'za Balima mono hunentaza nomofo agu'afi ufre'naze.

As soon as Jehu [and Jonadab] had finished killing the animals that would be completely burned to be an offering to Baal, they [went outside and] said to the guards and officers, “Go in and kill all of them! Do not allow any of them to escape!” So the guards and officers went in and killed them all with their swords. Then they dragged their corpses outside the temple. Then they went into the inner room of the temple,

26 Hanki ana mono nompi ufre'za, zafare'ma antre'za antene'za mono'ma hunentaza zafa ome eri'za, megi'a teve eme hanavazi'za kre'naze.

and they carried out the sacred pillar of Baal that was there, and they burned it.

27 Ana nehu'za Bali havi anumzamofo amema'ama tro'ma hunte'naza zane, mono'ma hunentaza nonena tapage tapagu huza eri havizantfa hazageno, rifa kerigna huno me'neno eno meninte'enena ehanati'ne.

So they destroyed that pillar that honored Baal, and then they burned down the temple, and made it a public toilet. And it is still a toilet!

28 Hanki Jehu'ma e'inama hiazamo higeno, Israeli mopafintira Bali havi anumzante'ma mono'ma hunentaza zamo'a vagare'ne.

That is how Jehu got rid of the worship of Baal in Israel.

29 Hianagi Nebati nemofo Jeroboamu'ma Beteline Dani kumatrente'ma, golireti bulimakao anentatrena havi anumzama tro huntege'za Israeli vahe'mo'za mono hunte'za kumi hu'nazaza huno, Jehu'a anazanke huno havi anumzana monora hunteno vu'ne.

But Jehu did not quit committing the kinds of sins that Jeroboam had committed, sins that led the people of Israel to sin by worshiping the gold [statues of] calves in Bethel and Dan [cities].

30 Ana hutegeno Ra Anumzamo'a Jehuna asmino, Nagri navesiza'ma amage antenka Ahapu naganofi'ma zamazeri haviza hu'nanku, kagri nagapintira zamatresuge'za 4'a zupama fore hu anante ante'ma hu'za vanaza vahepina Israeli vahe kinia maniza vugahaze.

Then Yahweh said to Jehu, “You have done what pleased me by getting rid of all of Ahab’s descendants. So I promise you that your son and grandson and great-grandson and great-great-grandson will all be kings of Israel.”

31 Hianagi Jehu'a agu'aretira huno, Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe'mokizmi Anumzamofo kasegea amagera onte'ne. Ana nehuno ko'ma Jeroboamu'ma Israeli vahe'ma zamavazu hige'za havi anumzante mono hunte'za kumi'ma hu'nazaza huno, Jehu'a ana avu'avaza hu'ne.

But Jehu did not obey all the laws of Yahweh, the God of the Israeli people. He did not stop committing the sins that Jeroboam had committed, sins that led the Israeli people to sin.

32 Hanki Jehu'ma kinima mani'nea knafina, Ra Anumzamo'a Siria kini ne' Hazaeli atregeno Israeli vahe'mokizmi mopa mago'a eri'ne. Siria kini ne' Hazaeli'a Israeli vahera ha'huzmagatereno, ana mopazamia eri'ne.

At that time, Yahweh began to cause the territory controlled by Israel to become smaller. [The army of] King Hazael [of Syria] conquered much of the Israeli territory.

33 Anama eri'neama'a, Jodani timofo zage hanati kaziga, Gati mopama, Rubeni mopama, Manase mopanena eri'ne. E'ina mopa Anoni ti kazontu me'nea tva'onte, Aroeri kumateti agafa huteno vuno, sauti kaziga Giliatine Basani kaziga vu'nea mopa eri'ne.

He conquered the parts east of the Jordan [River], as far south as Aroer [town] on the Arnon [River]. That included [the] Gilead and Bashan [regions], where the tribes of Gad, Reuben, and half of the tribe of Manasseh lived.

34 Hanki ruga'a zantamima Jehu'ma kini mani'neno tro'ma hu'nea zamofo agenkea, Israeli vahe kini vahe'mokizmi zamagi zamagenkema krenentaza avontafepi krente'naze.

[If you want to read more] about all the other things that Jehu did [RHQ], they are written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.

35 Anante Jehu'a frige'za, agehemo'zama frizagezama asezmante'naza matipi Sameria asente'naze. Ana hazageno ne' mofavre'amo, Jehoahazi agri kumara erino kinia mani'ne.

Jehu died [EUP], and was buried in Samaria. His son Jehoahaz became the king in place of his father.

36 Hanki Jehu'a 28'a kafufi kinia fore huno Sameria mani'neno, Israeli vahera kegava huzmante'ne.

Jehu had ruled in Samaria as the king of Israel for twenty-eight years.
