2 Mpanjaka 10

1 Ary nisy zanak’ i Ahaba fito-polo lahy tany Samaria. Ary Jeho nanoratra taratasy ka nampitondra iny ho any Samaria any amin’ ny mpanapaka any Jezirela dia ho any amin’ ny loholona sy ny mpitaiza ny zanak’ i Ahaba nanao hoe:

And Ahab had seventy sons in Samaria. And Jehu wrote letters, and sent to Samaria, to the rulers of Jezreel, to the elders, and to them that brought up Ahab's [children], saying,

2 Ary raha tonga atỳ aminareo ity taratasy ity (fa ao aminareo ny zanakalahin’ ny tomponareo, ary ao aminareo ny kalesy sy ny soavaly sy ny tanàna mimanda ary ny fiadiana),

Now as soon as this letter cometh to you, seeing your master's sons [are] with you, and [there are] with you chariots and horses, a fortified city also, and armor;

3 dia izahao izay tsara sy mendrika indrindra amin’ ny zanakalahin’ ny tomponareo, ary apetraho amin’ ny seza fiandrianan-drainy izy, ka miadia ary ho an’ ny mpianakavin’ ny tomponareo.

Look out the best and meetest of your master's sons, and set [him] on his father's throne, and fight for your master's house.

4 Dia raikitahotra indrindra ireo ka nifampilaza hoe: Indro ny mpanjaka roa aza tsy nahajanona teo anatrehany, ka hataontsika ahoana no fahajanona?

But they were exceedingly afraid, and said, Behold, two kings stood not before him: how then shall we stand?

5 Ary ny lehiben’ ny tandapa sy ny mpanapaka ny tanana ary ny loholona koa sy ireo mpitaiza naniraka tany amin’ i Jeho nanao hoe: Mpanomponao izahay, koa izay rehetra andidianao anay dia hataonay; tsy hanangana andriana izahay, fa izay sitraky ny fonao ihany no ataovy.

And he that [was] over the house, and he that [was] over the city, the elders also, and those who brought up [the children], sent to Jehu, saying, We [are] thy servants, and will do all that thou shalt bid us; we will not make any king: do thou [that which is] good in thy eyes.

6 Dia nanoratra taratasy taminy indray Jeho nanao hoe: Raha ahy ary ianareo ka hankatò ny teniko, dia tapaho ny lohan’ ireo zanakalahin’ ny tomponareo, ary mankanesa atỳ amiko atỳ Jezirela rahampitso toy izao. Ary izy fito-polo lahy zanaky ny mpanjaka dia tao amin’ ireo lehiben’ ny tanàna, mpitaiza azy.

Then he wrote a letter the second time to them, saying, if ye [are] mine, and [if] ye will hearken to my voice, take ye the heads of the men your master's sons, and come to me to Jezreel by to-morrow this time. Now the king's sons [being] seventy persons, [were] with the great men of the city, who brought them up.

7 Ary nony efa tonga tany amin’ ireo ny taratasy, dia naka ny zanakalahin’ ny mpanjaka izy ka namono azy fito-polo lahy, ary nataony tao an-tsobiky ny lohany ka nateriny tany amin’ i Jeho tany Jezirela.

And it came to pass, when the letter came to them, that they took the king's sons, and slew seventy persons, and put their heads in baskets, and sent [them] to him to Jezreel.

8 Ary tonga ny iraka ka nanambara taminy hoe: Indro, efa nitondra ny lohan’ ny zanakalahin’ ny mpanjaka izy. Ary hoy Jeho: Ampifanongoavy ho roa toko eo anoloan’ ny vavahady mandra-pahamarain’ ny andro.

And there came a messenger, and told him, saying, They have brought the heads of the king's sons. And he said, Lay ye them in two heaps at the entrance of the gate until the morning.

9 Ary nony maraina, dia nivoaka Jeho ary nitsangana ka nanao tamin’ ny vahoaka rehetra hoe: Marina ianareo, indro, izaho nikomy tamin’ ny tompoko ka nahafaty azy; fa iza kosa no nahafaty ireto rehetra ireto?

And it came to pass in the morning, that he went out, and stood, and said to all the people, Ye [are] righteous: behold, I conspired against my master, and slew him: but who slew all these?

10 Aoka ho fantatrareo ary fa tsy hisy raraka an-tany ny tenin’ i Jehovah izay nolazainy ny amin’ ny taranak’ i Ahaba; fa Jehovah efa nanao izay nampilazainy an’ i Elia mpanompony.

Know now that there shall fall to the earth nothing of the word of the LORD, which the LORD spoke concerning the house of Ahab; for the LORD hath done [that] which he spoke by his servant Elijah.

11 Ka dia novonoin’ i Jeho izay sisa rehetra tamin’ ny taranak’ i Ahaba tao Jezirela sy ny olom-baventy rehetra tao aminy mbamin’ ny havany ary ny mpisorony koa, ambara-paha-tsy hisy miangana na dia iray akory aza.

So Jehu slew all that remained of the house of Ahab in Jezreel, and all his great men, and his kinsmen, and his priests, until he left him none remaining.

12 Dia niainga izy ka nankany Samaria. Ary nony mby tany an-trano fivorian’ ny mpiandry ondry tany an-dalana Jeho,

And he arose and departed, and came to Samaria. [And] as he [was] at the shearing-house in the way,

13 dia nifanena amin’ ny rahalahin’ i Ahazia, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, izy ka nanao hoe: Iza ange ianareo? Ary izy ireo namaly hoe: Rahalahin’ i Ahazia izahay ary midìna mba hamangy ny zanakalahin’ ny mpanjaka sy ny zanakalahin’ ny andriambavy.

Jehu met with the brethren of Ahaziah king of Judah, and said, Who [are] ye? And they answered, We [are] the brethren of Ahaziah; and we go down to salute the children of the king and the children of the queen.

14 Ary hoy Jeho: Sambory velona ireo. Dia nosamboriny ka novonoiny teo akaikin’ ny lavaka famorian-drano tao an-trano fivoriana izy roa amby efa-polo lahy ireo, ary tsy nasiany miangana na dia iray akory aza.

And he said, Take them alive. And they took them alive, and slew them at the pit of the shearing-house, [even] two and forty men; neither left he any of them.

15 Ary rehefa niala teo Jeho, dia nahita an’ i Jonadaba, zanakalahin’ i Rekaba, avy manatona azy; dia niarahaba azy izy ary nanao taminy hoe: Marina va ny fonao tahaka ny foko amin’ ny fonao? Ary Jonadaba namaly hoe: Eny. Raha izany ary no izy, hoy Jeho, dia aoka isika hifandray tanana. Dia natolony ny tànany, ka nampiakarin’ i Jeho ho eo aminy teo anatin’ ny kalesy izy.

And when he had departed thence, he lighted on Jehonadab the son of Rechab [coming] to meet him: and he saluted him, and said to him, Is thy heart right, as my heart [is] with thy heart; And Jehonadab answered, It is. If it is, give [me] thy hand. And he gave [him] his hand; and he took him up to him into the chariot.

16 Ary hoy Jeho: Andeha hiaraka amiko, ka izahao ny zotom-poko ho an’ i Jehovah. Dia nentina teo amin’ ny kalesy izy.

And he said, Come with me, and see my zeal for the LORD. So they made him ride in his chariot.

17 Ary rehefa tonga tany Samaria Jeho, dia namono izay sisa rehetra tamin’ ny tamingan’ i Ahaba tany Samaria mandra-paharingany, araka ny tenin’ i Jehovah izay nolazainy tamin’ i Elia.

And when he came to Samaria, he slew all that remained to Ahab in Samaria, till he had destroyed him, according to the saying of the LORD, which he spoke to Elijah.

18 Ary Jeho namory ny vahoaka rehetra ka nanao taminy hoe: Ahaba nanompo an’ i Bala kelikely ihany, fa Jeho no hanompo azy fatratra.

And Jehu convened all the people, and said to them, Ahab served Baal a little; [but] Jehu shall serve him much.

19 Koa ankehitriny vorio ho atỳ amiko ny mpaminanin’ i Bala rehetra, ny mpanompony rehetra sy ny mpisorony rehetra; aza avela hisy tsy ho tonga na dia iray akory aza; fa hamono zavatra betsaka ho fanatitra ho an’ i Bala aho; koa na iza na iza tsy ho tonga, dia tsy hovelomina izy. Kanjo Jeho nanao izany ho fihendrena handringanany ny mpanompon’ i Bala.

Now therefore call to me all the prophets of Baal, all his servants, and all his priests; let none be wanting: for I have a great sacrifice [to do] to Baal: whoever shall be wanting, he shall not live. But Jehu did [it] in subtilty, to the intent that he might destroy the worshipers of Baal.

20 Ary hoy Jeho: Manendre fivoriana masìna ho an’ i Bala. Koa dia nanendry andro izy.

And Jehu said, Proclaim a solemn assembly for Baal. And they proclaimed [it].

21 Ary Jeho naniraka tany amin’ ny Isiraely rehetra, ary dia tonga ny mpanompon’ i Bala rehetra, ka tsy nisy lehilahy tsy tonga teo na dia iray akory aza. Ary dia niditra tao an-tranon’ i Bala ireo, ka feno hika ny trano.

And Jehu sent through all Israel: and all the worshipers of Baal came, so that there was not a man left that came not. And they came into the house of Baal; and the house of Baal was full from one end to another.

22 Dia hoy Jeho tamin’ ny mpitahiry ny fitafiana: Amoahy fitafiana ny mpanompon’ i Bala rehetra. Ary dia namoaka ny fitafiana ho azy izy.

And he said to him that [was] over the vestry, Bring forth vestments for all the worshipers of Baal. And he brought them forth vestments.

23 Ary Jeho sy Jonadaba, zanak’ i Rekaba, nankao an-tranon’ i Bala ka niteny tamin’ ny mpanompon’ i Bala hoe: Fantaro tsara sy izahao, fandrao misy mpanompon’ i Jehovah eto aminareo, fa tsy ny mpanompon’ i Bala ihany.

And Jehu went, and Jehonadab the son of Rechab, into the house of Baal, and said to the worshipers of Baal, Search, and look that there are here with you none of the servants of the LORD, but the worshipers of Baal only.

24 Ary nony niditra hanatitra fanatitra dorana sy fanatitra hafa alatsa-drà izy, Jeho kosa dia nametraka valo-polo lahy teo ala-trano ka nanao hoe; Raha misy afa-mandositra ny olona izay nentiko ho eto an-tananareo, izay mamela azy handeha, dia ny ainy no hisolo ny ainy.

And when they went in to offer sacrifices and burnt-offerings, Jehu appointed eighty men without, and said, [If] any of the men whom I have brought into your hands escape, [he that letteth him go], his life [shall be] for the life of him.

25 Ary rehefa vita ny nanaterany ny fanatitra dorana, dia hoy Jeho tamin’ ny mpiambina sy ny mpanafika malaza: Midìra, ka vonoy, ary aza avela hisy ho tafavoaka. Dia namely azy tamin’ ny lelan-tsabatra izy; ary ny mpiambina sy ny mpanafika malaza dia nanary ny faty ary niditra tao amin’ ny tanàna nisy ny tranon’ i Bala.

And it came to pass, as soon as he had made an end of offering the burnt-offering, that Jehu said to the guard and to the captains, Go in, [and] slay them; let none come forth. And they smote them with the edge of the sword; and the guard and the captains cast [them] out, and went to the city of the house of Baal.

26 Ary namoaka ny orin-kazo izay tao an-tranon’ i Bala izy ka nandoro ireny.

And they brought forth the images out of the house of Baal, and burned them.

27 Ary nandrava ny tsangam-baton’ i Bala sy ny tranony izy, ary dia nataony trano fivoahana mandraka androany izany.

And they broke down the image of Baal, and broke down the house of Baal, and made it a draught-house to this day.

28 Toy izany no nandravan’ i Jeho an’ i Bala tsy ho amin’ ny Isiraely.

Thus Jehu destroyed Baal out of Israel.

29 Nefa Jeho tsy dia niala tamin’ ny fahotan’ i Jeroboama, zanak’ i Nebata, izay nampanotany ny Isiraely, dia tamin’ ireo ombilahy kely volamena izay tao Betela sy Dana.

Yet [from] the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin, Jehu departed not from after them, [to wit], the golden calves that [were] in Beth-el, and that [were] in Dan.

30 Ary hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Jeho: Satria efa nanao soa ianao tamin’ ny nanaovanao izay mahitsy eo imasoko sady efa nataonao tamin’ ny taranak’ i Ahaba araka izay rehetra tao am-poko, koa dia hitoetra amin’ ny seza fiandrianan’ ny Isiraely ny taranakao hatramin’ ny zafindohalika.

And the LORD said to Jehu, Because thou hast done well in executing [that which is] right in my eyes, [and] hast done to the house of Ahab according to all that [was] in my heart, thy children of the fourth [generation] shall sit on the throne of Israel.

31 Nefa Jeho tsy nitandrina handeha amin’ ny lalàn’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, amin’ ny fony rehetra; fa tsy niala tamin’ ny fahotan’ i Jeroboama izay nampanotany ny Isiraely izy.

But Jehu took no heed to walk in the law of the LORD God of Israel with all his heart: for he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam, who made Israel to sin.

32 Tamin’ izany andro izany no niantombohan’ ny nanakelezan’ i Jehovah ny Isiraely; fa Hazaela namely azy tamin’ ny sisin-tanin’ ny Isiraely rehetra

In those days the LORD began to cut Israel short: and Hazael smote them in all the borders of Israel;

33 hatrany Jordana no ho miantsinanana, dia ny tany Gileada rehetra, ny Gadita sy ny Robenita ary ny Manasita, hatrany Aroera, izay eo amoron’ ny lohasahan-driaka Arnona, dia Gileada sy Basana.

From Jordan eastward, all the land of Gilead, the Gadites, and the Reubenites, and the Manassites, from Aroer, which [is] by the river Arnon, even Gilead and Bashan.

34 Ary ny tantaran’ i Jeho sisa mbamin’ izay rehetra nataony ary ny heriny rehetra, tsy efa voasoratra ao amin’ ny bokin’ ny tantaran’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely va izany?

Now the rest of the acts of Jehu, and all that he did, and all his might, [are] they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

35 Ary Jeho lasa nodi-mandry any amin’ ny razany, dia nalevina tao Samaria izy. Ary Joahaza zanany no nanjaka nandimby azy.

And Jehu slept with his fathers: and they buried him in Samaria. And Jehoahaz his son reigned in his stead.

36 Ary ny andro izay nanjakan’ i Jeho tamin’ ny Isiraely tao Samaria dia valo amby roa-polo taona.

And the time that Jehu reigned over Israel in Samaria [was] twenty and eight years.
