Sie Tokosra 16
1 LEUM GOD el kaskas nu sel mwet palu Jehu, wen natul Hanani, ac sang nu sel kas inge elan fahk nu sel Baasha:
During the time that Baasha [was king of Israel], [the prophet] Jehu, Hanani’s son, gave Baasha this message that he had received from Yahweh:
2 “Kom tuh mwet na lusrongten se, a nga srukkomyak in leum fin mwet luk Israel. Ac inge kom oru ma koluk oana Jeroboam, ac kolla mwet luk inge in oru ma koluk. Ma koluk lalos inge purakak kasrkusrak luk,
“You were very insignificant/unimportant [IDM] when I caused you to become the ruler of my Israeli people. But you have caused me to become very angry by doing [IDM] the kinds of evil things that King Jeroboam did. You have also caused me to become angry by causing my people to sin.
3 ouinge nga ac oru nu sum ac sou lom oana ma nga tuh oru nu sel Jeroboam.
So now I will get rid of you and your family [MTY]. I will do to you just like I did to Jeroboam and his family.
4 Kutena mwet lom su misa in siti uh ac fah mongola sin kosro ngalngul, ac kutena su misa likin siti uh ac fah mongola sin won vulture.”
[The bodies of] those in your family who die in this city [will not be buried; they] will be eaten by dogs; and [the corpses of] those who die in the fields will be eaten by vultures.”
5 Ma nukewa saya ma Baasha el orala, ac orekma pulaik lal nukewa, simla oasr in [Sramsram Matu Ke Tokosra Lun Israel].
The other things that happened during the time that Baasha ruled Israel, and the things that he did, are written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
6 Baasha el misa ac pukpuki Tirzah, ac Elah wen natul, el aolul in tokosra.
When Baasha died, he was buried in Tirzah, [the capital city]. Then his son Elah became king.
7 Kas lun LEUM GOD su lainul Baasha ac sou lal inge, tuh tutafyang nu sel sin mwet palu Jehu, ke sripen ma koluk ma Baasha el orala lain LEUM GOD. Baasha el tuh purakak kasrkusrak lun LEUM GOD, tia ke sripen ma koluk el orala mukena, oana ke Tokosra Jeroboam el tuh oru meet lukel, a mweyen el uniya pac mwet nukewa in sou lal Jeroboam.
Yahweh gave that message about Baasha and his family to the prophet Jehu. Baasha had done many things that Yahweh considered to be evil, which caused Yahweh to become angry. Baasha did the same kind of things that King Jeroboam and his family had done previously. Yahweh was also angry with Baasha because he had killed all of Jeroboam’s family.
8 In yac aklongoul onkosr ke pacl Asa el tokosra lun Judah, Elah wen natul Baasha, el tokosrala lun Israel, ac el leum in acn Tirzah ke yac luo.
After Asa had been the king of Judah for almost 26 years, Elah became the king of Israel. Elah ruled in Tirzah for [only] two years.
9 Zimri, sie sin mwet pwapa fulat lal Elah, su leum fin tafu un chariot natul tokosra, el orek pwapa sulal lainul. Sie len ah, in acn Tirzah, Elah el sruhila in lohm sel Arza, su leum fin mwet karingin inkul fulat sin tokosra.
[A man named] Zimri was one of Elah’s army officers. He commanded the drivers of half of Elah’s army’s (chariots/two-wheeled vehicles pulled by horses). He made plans to kill Elah while Elah was in Tirzah, getting drunk at the house of [a man named] Arza. Arza was the man who took care of the things in the king’s palace.
10 Zimri el utyak nu in lohm sac ac unilya Tokosra Elah, ac aolulla in tokosra. Ma inge sikyak ke yac aklongoul itkosr, in pacl Asa el tokosra lun Judah.
Zimri went into Arza’s house and killed Elah. Then Zimri became the king of Israel. That was when Asa had been the king of Judah for 27 years.
11 Zimri el tufahna tokosrala, na el uniya mwet in sou lal Baasha nufon. Anwuki mukul nukewa in sou lal oayapa kawuk lal.
As soon as Zimri became king [MTY], he killed all of Baasha’s family [MTY]. That included every male [IDM] in Baasha’s family and all of Baasha’s male friends.
12 Ouinge in fal nu ke ma LEUM GOD El tuh fahk lainul Baasha sin mwet palu Jehu, Zimri el uniya nufon mwet in sou lal Baasha.
That was just what Yahweh told the prophet Jehu would happen.
13 Baasha ac wen natul Elah eltal akkasrkusrakye LEUM GOD lun Israel, mweyen eltal alu nu ke ma sruloala, ac oayapa kolla mwet Israel in oru ma koluk.
Baasha and his son Elah had sinned and led the Israeli people to sin. They caused Yahweh, the God whom the Israeli people worshiped, to become angry, because they both urged the people [to worship] worthless idols.
14 Ma nukewa saya ma Tokosra Elah el oru, simla oasr in [Sramsram Matu Ke Tokosra Lun Israel].
Everything else that Elah did is written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
15 In yac aklongoul itkosr ke pacl Tokosra Asa el leum lun Judah, Zimri el leum fin Israel in acn Tirzah ke len itkosr. Mwet mweun lun Israel elos kuhlusya siti Gibbethon in acn Philistia.
So Zimri became the king of Israel after Asa had been king of Judah for 27 years. But Zimri ruled in Tirzah for only seven days. The Israeli army was beseiging/surrounding Gibeah, a town which belonged to the Philistine people-group.
16 Ac ke elos lohng lah Zimri el orek pwapa sulal lainul tokosra ac unilya, na elos nukewa fahkla na in pacl sac mu Omri, mwet kol fulat lun un mwet mweun lalos, pa ac tokosra lun Israel.
The men in the Israeli army camp heard that Zimri had secretly planned to kill King Elah, and then had killed him. So on that day the soldiers chose Omri, the commander of their army, to become the king of Israel.
17 Omri ac mwet mweun lal elos som liki acn Gibbethon, ac kuhlusya acn Tirzah.
The Israeli army was camped near Gibbethon [city]. When they heard what Zimri had done, they left there and went to Tirzah, and surrounded the city.
18 Ke Zimri el liye lah siti sac kutangyukla, na el som nu in acn se ma potiyukyak ku na ke inkul fulat sin tokosra, ac esukak, ac el misa ke fulen e uh.
When Zimri realized that the city was [about to be] captured, he went into his palace and set it on fire. So the palace burned down, and he died [in the fire].
19 Ma se inge sikyak ke sripen ma koluk lal lain LEUM GOD. El oapana Jeroboam su tokosra meet lukel, ke el aktoasrye LEUM GOD ke orekma koluk lal sifacna, oayapa ke el kolla mwet Israel in oru ma koluk.
He died because he had sinned by doing the things that Yahweh considered to be evil. Jeroboam had led the Israeli people to sin, and Zimri sinned just like Jeroboam had sinned.
20 Ma nukewa saya ma Zimri el orala, wi pac pwapa sulal ma el oru, simla oasr in [Sramsram Matu Ke Tokosra Lun Israel].
All the other things that Zimri did, and the record of how he rebelled [against King Elah], are written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
21 Mwet Israel uh nunak luoelik: kutu selos lungse Tibni wen natul Ginath, elan tokosra, a mwet lula lungse in Omri.
After Zimri died, the Israeli people were divided. One group wanted Tibni, the son of Ginath, to be their king. The other group wanted Omri [to be the king].
22 Saflaiya uh, tuh wi lungse lun mwet ma ke in Omri pa tokosra. Tibni el misa, ac Omri el tokosrala.
Those who supported Omri (were stronger than/defeated) those who supported Tibni. So Tibni was killed, and Omri became king.
23 Ouinge in yac aktolngoul sie ke pacl in leum lal Tokosra Asa lun Judah, Omri el tokosrala lun Israel, ac el leumi acn we ke yac singoul luo. Yac onkosr meet ah el leum in acn Tirzah,
Omri became king when Asa had been king of Judah for almost 31 years. Omri ruled Israel for 12 years. For the first six years he ruled in Tirzah.
24 na el molela eol srisrik soko in acn Samaria ke ipin silver onkosr tausin, sin mwet se pangpang Shemer. Omri el kuhlasak eol soko inge, ac musaela sie siti srisrik we, ac sang inen siti sac Samaria, in oana inen mwet se ma la acn we meet ah: Shemer.
Then he bought a hill from [a man named] Shemer and paid him about (150 pounds/70 kg.) of silver for it. Then Omri ordered his men to build a city on that hill, and he called it Samaria, to honor Shemer, the man who owned it previously.
25 Omri el orekma koluk lain LEUM GOD yohk liki tokosra nukewa meet lukel.
But Omri did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil. He did more evil deeds than any of the kings who ruled Israel before he did.
26 El oapana Jeroboam su tokosra meet lukel, in akkasrkusrakye LEUM GOD lun Israel ke orekma koluk lal, ac ke el kolla mwet uh in oru ma koluk ac alu nu ke ma sruloala.
[When] Jeroboam [was previously the king, he] had led the Israeli people to sin, and Omri committed the same kind of sins that Jeroboam did. The Israeli people caused Yahweh, the God the Israeli people had worshiped, to become very angry, because they worshiped worthless idols.
27 Ma nukewa saya ma Omri el orala ac oakwuk lal nukewa, simla oasr in [Sramsram Matu Ke Tokosra Lun Israel].
Everything that Omri did, and the record of the victories that his [army] won, are written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
28 Omri el misa ac pukpuki Samaria, ac Ahab wen natul, el aolul in tokosra.
After Omri died, he was buried in Samaria, and his son Ahab became king.
29 n yac aktolngoul oalkosr ke pacl in leum lal Tokosra Asa lun Judah, Ahab wen natul Omri, el tokosrala lun Israel, ac el leum in acn Samaria ke yac longoul luo.
Ahab became king of Israel when Asa had ruled Judah for almost 38 years. Ahab ruled in Samaria [city] for 22 years.
30 El oru ma koluk lain LEUM GOD yohk liki tokosra nukewa meet lukel.
Ahab did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil. He did more evil things than any of the kings who ruled Israel before he did.
31 El tiana falkin ma koluk yohk ma el oru oana Tokosra Jeroboam, a el sifilpa laesla ke el payukyak sel Jezebel, acn se natul Tokosra Ethbaal lun Sidon, ac el oayapa alu nu sin Baal.
He committed the same kind of sins that Jeroboam did, but he did things that were worse than the things that Jeroboam did. He married [a woman named] Jezebel, the daughter of Ethbaal, the king of Sidon [city]. Then Ahab started to worship Baal, [the god that the Canaan people-group worshiped].
32 El musaela tempul se nu sel Baal in acn Samaria, ac orala loang se nu sel, ac filiya in tempul sac.
He built a temple in Samaria in order that the Israeli people could worship Baal there, and he put an altar there for [making sacrifices to] Baal.
33 El oayapa tulokunak sie ma sruloala in luman god mutan Asherah. El akkasrkusrakye LEUM GOD lun Israel yohk liki tokosra nukewa lun Israel meet lukel.
He also made an idol that represented Asherah, [Baal’s wife]. He did many more things that caused Yahweh to become angry. He did more evil things than any of the previous kings of Israel had done.
34 Ke pacl Ahab el tokosra, Hiel mwet Bethel, el sifil musaela pot lun Jericho. In oana LEUM GOD El tuh fahk nu sel Joshua, wen natul Nun, Abiram, wen se ma matu natul Hiel, el misa ke pacl se Hiel el oakiya pwelung uh, ac Segub, wen se ma fusr natul Hiel, el misa ke pacl se Hiel el oakiya srungul ke pot uh.
During the years that Ahab [ruled], Hiel, a man from Bethel [city], rebuilt Jericho [city]. But when he started to rebuild the city, his oldest son Abiram died. And [when the city was finished, ] while Hiel was building the city gates, his youngest son Segub died. They died just like Yahweh had told Joshua would happen [to the sons of anyone who would rebuild Jericho].
