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:
Now Ahab had seventy sons in Samaria. Jehu wrote letters and sent them to Samaria, to the rulers of Jezreel, even the elders, and to those who brought up Ahab’s sons, 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 comes to you, since your master’s sons are with you, and you have chariots and horses, a fortified city also, and armour,
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.
select the best and fittest of your master’s sons, 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, the two kings didn’t stand 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.
He who was over the household, and he who was over the city, the elders also, and those who raised the children, sent to Jehu, saying, “We are your servants, and will do all that you ask us. We will not make any man king. You do that which is good in your 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 you are on my side, and if you will listen to my voice, take the heads of the men who are your master’s sons, and come to me to Jezreel by tomorrow 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.
When the letter came to them, they took the king’s sons and killed them, even seventy people, 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.
A messenger came and told him, “They have brought the heads of the king’s sons.” He said, “Lay 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?
In the morning, he went out and stood, and said to all the people, “You are righteous. Behold, I conspired against my master and killed him, but who killed 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 nothing will fall to the earth of the LORD’s word, which the LORD spoke concerning Ahab’s house. For the LORD has 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 struck all that remained of Ahab’s house in Jezreel, with all his great men, his familiar friends, and his priests, until he left him no one remaining.
12 Dia niainga izy ka nankany Samaria. Ary nony mby tany an-trano fivorian’ ny mpiandry ondry tany an-dalana Jeho,
He arose and departed, and went to Samaria. As he was at the shearing house of the shepherds on 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 brothers of Ahaziah king of Judah, and said, “Who are you?” They answered, “We are the brothers of Ahaziah. We are going down to greet 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.
He said, “Take them alive!” They took them alive, and killed them at the pit of the shearing house, even forty-two men. He didn’t leave 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.
When he had departed from there, he met Jehonadab the son of Rechab coming to meet him. He greeted him, and said to him, “Is your heart right, as my heart is with your heart?” Jehonadab answered, “It is.” “If it is, give me your hand.” 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.
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.
When he came to Samaria, he struck all who remained to Ahab in Samaria, until he had destroyed them, according to the LORD’s word 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.
Jehu gathered all the people together, and said to them, “Ahab served Baal a little, but Jehu will 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 of his worshippers, and all of his priests. Let no one be absent, for I have a great sacrifice to Baal. Whoever is absent, he shall not live.” But Jehu did deceptively, intending to destroy the worshippers of Baal.
20 Ary hoy Jeho: Manendre fivoriana masìna ho an’ i Bala. Koa dia nanendry andro izy.
Jehu said, “Sanctify a solemn assembly for Baal!” So 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.
Jehu sent through all Israel; and all the worshippers of Baal came, so that there was not a man left that didn’t come. They came into the house of Baal; and the house of Baal was filled 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.
He said to him who kept the wardrobe, “Bring out robes for all the worshippers of Baal!” So he brought robes out to them.
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.
Jehu went with Jehonadab the son of Rechab into the house of Baal. Then he said to the worshippers of Baal, “Search, and see that none of the servants of the LORD are here with you, but only the worshippers of Baal.”
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.
So they went in to offer sacrifices and burnt offerings. Now Jehu had appointed for himself eighty men outside, and said, “If any of the men whom I bring into your hands escape, he who lets 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.
As soon as he had finished offering the burnt offering, Jehu said to the guard and to the captains, “Go in and kill them! Let no one escape.” So they struck them with the edge of the sword. The guard and the captains threw the bodies out, and went to the inner shrine of the house of Baal.
26 Ary namoaka ny orin-kazo izay tao an-tranon’ i Bala izy ka nandoro ireny.
They brought out the pillars that were in the house of Baal and burnt them.
27 Ary nandrava ny tsangam-baton’ i Bala sy ny tranony izy, ary dia nataony trano fivoahana mandraka androany izany.
They broke down the pillar of Baal, and broke down the house of Baal, and made it a latrine, 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.
However, Jehu didn’t depart from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin—the golden calves that were in Bethel 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.
The LORD said to Jehu, “Because you have done well in executing that which is right in my eyes, and have done to Ahab’s house according to all that was in my heart, your descendants shall sit on the throne of Israel to the fourth generation.”
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, the God of Israel, with all his heart. He didn’t depart from the sins of Jeroboam, with which he 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 away parts of Israel; and Hazael struck 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 the Jordan eastward, all the land of Gilead, the Gadites, and the Reubenites, and the Manassites, from Aroer, which is by the valley of the 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, aren’t they 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.
Jehu slept with his fathers; and they buried him in Samaria. Jehoahaz his son reigned in his place.
36 Ary ny andro izay nanjakan’ i Jeho tamin’ ny Isiraely tao Samaria dia valo amby roa-polo taona.
The time that Jehu reigned over Israel in Samaria was twenty-eight years.
