Luo Tokosra 10

1 Oasr tulik itngoul ke fwilin tulik natul Tokosra Ahab su muta in siti Samaria. Jehu el simusla leta se ac supwalik nu sin kais sie mwet leum lun siti uh, nu sin un mwet matu, ac nu sin mwet ma karingin fwilin tulig natul Ahab. Pa inge koanon leta sac:

Now Ahab had seventy sons in Samaria. So Jehu wrote letters and sent them to Samaria to the officials of Jezreel, to the elders, and to the guardians of the sons of Ahab, saying:

2 “Kowos pa mwet liyaung fwilin tulik natul tokosra, ke ma inge chariot, horse, mwe mweun, ac siti ma potyak, oan inpouwos. Ouinge, pacl se na ma kowos riti leta se inge,

“When this letter arrives, since your master’s sons are with you and you have chariots and horses, a fortified city and weaponry,

3 kowos sulela mwet se ma fal emeet sin wen nukewa natul tokosra, ac kowos in akleumyal, na kowos in mweun in loangella.”

select the best and most worthy son of your master, set him on his father’s throne, and fight for your master’s house.”

4 Mwet leum lun Samaria elos arulana sangeng. Elos fahk, “Kut ac lainul Jehu fuka, ke Tokosra Joram ac Tokosra Ahaziah tuh tia ku in lainul?”

But they were terrified and reasoned, “If two kings could not stand against him, how can we?”

5 Ouinge mwet kol se su liyaung inkul sin tokosra, ac mwet kol se su liyaung siti uh, weang pac mwet matu, ac mwet karingin sou lal Ahab, elos supwala kas inge nu sel Jehu: “Kut mwet kulansap lom, ac kut akola in oru kutena ma kom fahk an. Tusruktu kut tia ku in srukak kutena mwet in tokosra. Oru na ma kom nunku mu ac wo sum an.”

So the palace administrator, the overseer of the city, the elders, and the guardians sent a message to Jehu: “We are your servants, and we will do whatever you say. We will not make anyone king. Do whatever is good in your sight.”

6 Jehu el sifilpa simusla sie leta nu selos su fahk: “Kowos fin wiyu lac, ac akola in oru ma nga sapkin, kowos use sifen mwet nukewa in sou lal Tokosra Ahab nu yuruk in acn Jezreel ke pacl se pacna inge lutu.” Tulik itngoul ke fwilin tulik natul Tokosra Ahab elos muta yurin mwet matu Samaria, su tufahlosla.

Then Jehu wrote them a second letter and said: “If you are on my side, and if you will obey me, then bring the heads of your master’s sons to me at Jezreel by this time tomorrow.” Now the sons of the king, seventy in all, were being brought up by the leading men of the city.

7 Ke pacl se mwet matu inge eis leta lal Jehu, na elos twacla kwawen tulik itngoul in sou lal Ahab ah nufon, sang sifalos nu in fotoh, ac supwala nu sel Jehu in acn Jezreel!

And when the letter arrived, they took the sons of the king and slaughtered all seventy of them. They put their heads in baskets and sent them to Jehu at Jezreel.

8 Ke fwackyang nu sel Jehu lah sifen tulik natul Ahab nukewa utuku, el sap elos in yolsani nu ke yol luo ke mutunpot nu in siti uh, ac filiya in oanna we nu ke lotu tok ah.

When the messenger arrived, he told Jehu, “They have brought the heads of the sons of the king.” And Jehu ordered, “Pile them in two heaps at the entrance of the gate until morning.”

9 In lotu tok ah, el som nu ke mutunpot sac, ac fahk nu sin mwet su muta we, “Nga pa mwet se ma orek tunyuna ac unilya Tokosra Joram. Wangin mwatuwos kac. A su uniya nufon mwet inge uh?

The next morning, Jehu went out and stood before all the people and said, “You are innocent. It was I who conspired against my master and killed him. But who killed all these?

10 Ma inge akpwayei lah ma nukewa ma LEUM GOD El fahk mu ac sikyak nu sin fwilin tulik natul Ahab uh ac pwayena. LEUM GOD El oru oana ma El wulela kac in kas lal Elijah, mwet palu lal.”

Know, then, that not a word the LORD has spoken against the house of Ahab will fail, for the LORD has done what He promised through His servant Elijah.”

11 Na Jehu el onela nufon mwet lula in sou lal Ahab su muta in Jezreel, ac leum nukewa lun mwet mweun, ac mwet kawuk na pwaye lal, ac mwet tol kewa — wangin sie selos tia anwuki.

So Jehu killed everyone in Jezreel who remained of the house of Ahab, as well as all his great men and close friends and priests, leaving him without a single survivor.

12 Jehu el som liki acn Jezreel nu Samaria. Ke el sun acn se pangpang “Nien Aktuktuk lun Mwet Liyaung Sheep”

Then Jehu set out toward Samaria. At Beth-eked of the Shepherds,

13 el sun kutu mwet in sou lal Tokosra Ahaziah lun Judah, ac siyuk selos, “Su kowos an?” Elos topuk, “Kut sou lal Ahaziah. Kut fahsr nu Jezreel in oru akfulat lasr nu sin tulik natul Kasra Jezebel ac nu sin oaleum saya.”

Jehu met some relatives of Ahaziah king of Judah and asked, “Who are you?” “We are relatives of Ahaziah,” they answered, “and we have come down to greet the sons of the king and of the queen mother.”

14 Jehu el sap nu sin mwet lal, “Sapmoulelosi!” Elos sruokolosi ac el onelosla ke acn se apkuran nu ke luf se we. Elos mwet angngaul luo nufon, ac wangin sie selos moul.

Then Jehu ordered, “Take them alive.” So his men took them alive, then slaughtered them at the well of Beth-eked—forty-two men. He spared none of them.

15 Jehu el sifilpa mukuiyak in som inkanek lal, na el sonol Jonadab, wen natul Rechab, su fahsr in osun nu sel. Jehu el paingul ac fahk, “Nunak luk kom uh oana sie. Kom lungse wiyu kasreyu?” Jonadab el topuk, “Nga lungse.” Ac Jehu el fahk, “Fin pwaye, kom se poum.” Eltal asruokpola, na Jehu el kasrelak nu fin chariot natul ah,

When he left there, he found Jehonadab son of Rechab, who was coming to meet him. Jehu greeted him and asked, “Is your heart as true to mine as my heart is to yours?” “It is!” Jehonadab replied. “If it is,” said Jehu, “give me your hand.” So he gave him his hand, and Jehu helped him into his chariot,

16 ac fahk, “Fahsru wiyu, ac sifacna liye lupan inse pwaye luk nu sin LEUM GOD.” Ac eltal tukeni kasrusr nwe Samaria.

saying, “Come with me and see my zeal for the LORD!” So he had him ride in his chariot.

17 Ke eltal sun acn we, Jehu el uniya nufon sou lal Ahab, ac tia likiya siefanna. Pa inge ma LEUM GOD El tuh fahk nu sel Elijah mu ac sikyak.

When Jehu came to Samaria, he struck down everyone belonging to Ahab who remained there, until he had destroyed them, according to the word that the LORD had spoken to Elijah.

18 Jehu el pangoneni mwet Samaria ac fahk nu selos, “Tokosra Ahab el tuh kulansupu god Baal kutu srisrik, a nga ac kulansupal arulana yohk lukel.

Then Jehu brought all the people together and said, “Ahab served Baal a little, but Jehu will serve him a lot.

19 Pangoneni mwet palu lal Baal nukewa, mwet alu nu sel nukewa, ac mwet tol lal nukewa. Ac fah wangin mwet tia wi tukeni se inge. Nga ac oru sie kisa na yohk nu sel Baal, ac mwet se fin tia tuku, ac fah anwuki.” (Ma se inge kikiap se lal Jehu, mweyen el oru elan uniya mwet nukewa ma alu nu sel Baal.)

Now, therefore, summon to me all the prophets of Baal, all his servants, and all his priests. See that no one is missing, for I have a great sacrifice for Baal. Whoever is missing will not live.” But Jehu was acting deceptively in order to destroy the servants of Baal.

20 Na Jehu el sapkin ac fahk, “Oakiya ac sulkakinelik sie len in alu in akfulatyal Baal!” Oakwuk sac orekla ac solyak,

And Jehu commanded, “Proclaim a solemn assembly for Baal.” So they announced it.

21 ac Jehu el supwalik kas nu in acn nukewa Israel. Mwet nukewa su alu nu sel Baal elos tuku, ac wangin sie selos tia tuku. Elos nukewa utyak nu in tempul lal Baal, ac nwakla in lohm sac nufon.

Then Jehu sent word throughout Israel, and all the servants of Baal came; there was not a man who failed to show. They entered the temple of Baal, and it was filled from end to end.

22 Na Jehu el sap mwet tol se ma liyaung nuknuk mutal, elan use nuknuk uh sang nu sin mwet ac alu uh.

And Jehu said to the keeper of the wardrobe, “Bring out garments for all the servants of Baal.” So he brought out garments for them.

23 Tukun ma inge Jehu ac Jonadab wen natul Rechab, eltal som nu in tempul sac, ac Jehu el fahk nu sin mwet su muta we, “Liyaung na tuh in mwet na ma alu nu sin Baal mukena pa utyak, ac wangin mwet alu nu sin LEUM GOD in wi utyak.”

Next, Jehu and Jehonadab son of Rechab entered the temple of Baal, and Jehu said to the servants of Baal, “Look around to see that there are no servants of the LORD here among you—only servants of Baal.”

24 Ouinge Jehu ac Jonadab utyak in kisakin mwe kisa ac mwe kisa firir nu sel Baal. Jehu el tuh oakiya mwet oalngoul likinuma ac fahk nu selos, “Onela nufon mwet inge! Mwet se fin fuhlela sie sin mwet inge in kaingla ac tia anwuki, na ac fah anwuki el!”

And they went in to offer sacrifices and burnt offerings. Now Jehu had stationed eighty men outside and warned them, “If anyone allows one of the men I am delivering into your hands to escape, he will forfeit his life for theirs.”

25 Tukunna Jehu el orala kisa inge, na el sap nu sin mwet mweun ac mwet kol lalos, “Tal utyak ac onela nufon mwet inge! Nimet lela siefanna in kaingla!” Elos faisak cutlass natulos, utyak ac onelosla nufon, ac amakunla manolos nu likinuma. Na elos sifil utyak nu infukil se oan oe luin tempul sac,

When he had finished making the burnt offering, Jehu said to the guards and officers, “Go in and kill them. Do not let anyone out.” So the guards and officers put them to the sword, threw the bodies out, and went into the inner room of the temple of Baal.

26 ac usya sru oal soko ma oan we ac esukak.

They brought out the sacred pillar of the temple of Baal and burned it.

27 Na elos kunausla sru oal soko, ac tempul sac, ac ekulla tempul sac nu ke lohm fahsr se, su oanna nwe misenge.

They also demolished the sacred pillar of Baal. Then they tore down the temple of Baal and made it into a latrine, which it is to this day.

28 Pa inge ma Jehu el oru in kunausla alu nu sel Baal in acn Israel nufon.

Thus Jehu eradicated Baal from Israel,

29 Tusruktu el etai ma koluk lal Tokosra Jeroboam, su tuh kolla mwet Israel in oru ma koluk ke elos alu nu ke ma sruloala gold in luman cow mukul srisrik, su el oakiya in acn Bethel ac Dan.

but he did not turn away from the sins that Jeroboam son of Nebat had caused Israel to commit—the worship of the golden calves at Bethel and Dan.

30 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Jehu, “Ma nukewa ma nga lungse kom in oru nu sin fwilin tulik natul Ahab, kom orala nufon. Ouinge nga wulela nu sum lah wen nutum ac fah tokosra lun Israel nwe ke fwil se akakosr.”

Nevertheless, the LORD said to Jehu, “Because you have done well in carrying out what is right in My sight and have done to the house of Ahab all that was in My heart, four generations of your sons will sit on the throne of Israel.”

31 Tusruktu Jehu el tia akos ma sap lun LEUM GOD lun Israel ke insial nufon, a el fahsrna tukun srikasrak koluk lal Jeroboam, su kolla mwet Israel in oru ma koluk.

Yet Jehu was not careful to follow the instruction of the LORD, the God of Israel, with all his heart. He did not turn away from the sins that Jeroboam had caused Israel to commit.

32 In pacl sac LEUM GOD El mutawauk in aksrikyela lupan acn lun Israel. Tokosra Hazael lun Syria el sruokya acn nukewa lun Israel

In those days the LORD began to reduce the size of Israel. Hazael defeated the Israelites throughout their territory

33 ma oan kutulap in Infacl Jordan, fahla nu layen eir nwe ke siti srisrik Aroer ke Infacl Arnon — acn inge weang pac acn lun Gilead ac Bashan, yen ma sruf lal Gad, Reuben, ac Manasseh Kutulap muta we.

from the Jordan eastward through all the land of Gilead (the region of Gad, Reuben, and Manasseh), and from Aroer by the Arnon Valley through Gilead to Bashan.

34 Ma nukewa saya ma Jehu el orala, weang pac orekma pulaik lal, simla oasr in [Sramsram Matu Ke Tokosra Lun Israel.]

As for the rest of the acts of Jehu, along with all his accomplishments and all his might, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?

35 El misa ac pukpuki in Samaria, ac Jehoahaz wen natul, el aolul in tokosra.

And Jehu rested with his fathers and was buried in Samaria, and his son Jehoahaz reigned in his place.

36 Jehu el tokosra lun Israel, ac leum in Samaria ke yac longoul oalkosr.

So the duration of Jehu’s reign over Israel in Samaria was twenty-eight years.
