Boqorradii Labaad 10

1 Haddaba Axaab wuxuu Samaariya ku lahaa toddobaatan wiil. Yeehuuna warqaduu qoray oo wuxuu u diray Samaariya iyo taliyayaashii Yesreceel oo ahaa odayaashii, iyo kuwii soo koriyey wiilashii Axaab, oo wuxuu ku yidhi,

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 Waxaa idinla jooga wiilashii sayidkiinna, oo waxaad haysataan gaadhifardood iyo fardo, oo weliba waxaad ku jirtaan magaalo deyr leh, hubna waad haysataan; haddaba markii warqaddanu idiin timaado,

[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 doorta kan ugu wanaagsan oo ugu wada fiican wiilasha sayidkiinna oo ku fadhiisiya carshigii aabbihiis, oo u dirira sayidkiinna aawadiis.

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 Laakiinse aad iyo aad bay u baqeen, oo waxay yidhaahdeen, Labadii boqorba way hor joogsan waayeene bal innagu sidee baynu u taagnaanaynaa?

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 Oo kii reerka u sarreeyey, iyo kii magaalada u sarreeyey, iyo weliba odayaashii, iyo kuwii carruurta soo koriyeyba Yeehuu bay u cid direen, oo ku yidhaahdeen, Annagu addoommadaadii baannu nahay, oo wax alla wixii aad nagu amartana waannu yeelaynaa; oo annagu ninnaba boqor ka dhigan mayno; haddaba wax alla wixii kula wanaagsan samee.

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 Oo isna mar labaad buu warqad u qoray isagoo leh, Haddaad ila jirtaan, oo aad codkayga maqlaysaan, berrito hadda oo kale wiilasha sayidkiinna madaxyadooda Yesreceel iigu keena. Haddaba boqorka wiilashiisii oo toddobaatan qof ahaa waxay la joogeen raggii magaalada ugu waaweynaa oo iyaga soo koriyey.

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 Oo markii warqaddii u timid ayay wiilashii boqorka soo kaxeeyeen oo laayeen iyagoo toddobaatan qof ah, oo madaxyadoodii ayay dambiilo ku gureen, oo isagii bay Yesreceel ugu direen.

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 Oo waxaa isagii u yimid mid wargeeys ah, oo intuu u warramay ayuu ku yidhi, Wiilashii boqorka madaxyadoodii waa la keenay. Oo isna wuxuu ku yidhi, Iridda laga soo galo albaabka laba tuulmo u kala dhiga, oo ilaa berri subax ha yaalleen.

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 Oo markii subaxdii la gaadhay ayuu soo baxay oo dibadda istaagay, oo wuxuu dadkii oo dhan ku yidhi, Idinku xaq baad tihiin! Bal eega, anigu sayidkaygii baan shirqoolay, oo waan dilay, laakiinse bal yaa kuwan oo dhan laayay?

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 Haddaba bal ogaada in Eraygii Rabbiga ee uu Rabbigu reer Axaab kaga hadlay aan waxba dhulka kaga dhacayn, maxaa yeelay, Rabbigu waa sameeyey wixii uu kaga hadlay addoonkiisii Eliiyaah.

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 Sidaasuu Yeehuu Yesreceel ugu laayay reerkii Axaab intii ka hadhay oo dhan, iyo raggiisii waaweynaa oo dhan, iyo saaxiibbadiisii oo dhan, iyo wadaaddadiisii, ilaa uusan waxba u reebin.

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 Markaasuu kacay oo baxay, oo wuxuu tegey Samaariya. Oo markuu gaadhay gurigii adhijirrada ee jidka ku yiil

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

13 ayaa Yeehuu la kulmay boqorkii dalka Yahuudah oo Axasyaah ahaa walaalihiis, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, War yaad tihiin? Oo iyana waxay ugu jawaabeen, Annagu waxaannu nahay Axasyaah walaalihiis, oo waxaannu u soconnaa inaannu soo salaanno carruurtii boqorka iyo carruurtii boqoradda.

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 Oo isna wuxuu yidhi, iyagoo nool nool qabqabta. Markaasaa la qabtay iyagoo nool nool, oo waxaa iyagoo ah laba iyo afartan nin lagu ag laayay godkii guriga adhijirrada, oo midkoodna kama uu tegin.

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 Oo markuu halkaas ka tegey ayuu la kulmay Yehoonaadaab ina Reekaab oo soo socda inuu ka hor tago, oo intuu salaamay ayuu ku yidhi, War sidaan kuugu qalbi fayoobahay oo kale ma iigu qalbi fayow dahay? Markaasaa Yehoonaadaab ugu jawaabay, Haah, oo waan kuu qalbi fayoobahay. Isna wuxuu yidhi, Hadday saas tahay gacanta ii dhiib. Markaasuu gacanta u dhiibay, oo isna gaadhifaraskiisii ayuu soo saartay.

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 Markaasuu ku yidhi, Kaalay, i raac, oo fiiri qiirada aan Rabbiga u qabo. Sidaasaa loo fuushiyey gaadhifaraskiisii.

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 Oo haddana markuu Samaariya gaadhay ayuu wada laayay intii Axaab Samaariya ugu hadhay oo dhan ilaa uu u baabbi'iyey sidii uu ahaa eraygii Rabbigu kula hadlay Eliiyaah.

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 Markaasaa Yeehuu soo wada ururiyey dadkii oo dhan, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Axaab in yar buu Bacal u adeegi jiray, laakiinse anoo Yeehuu ah si weyn baan ugu adeegi doonaa.

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 Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed iigu soo wada yeedha nebiyadii Bacal oo dhan, iyo intii isaga caabudi jirtay oo dhan, iyo wadaaddadiisii oo dhan; oo midna yuusan ka maqnaan, waayo, allabari weyn baan Bacal u bixinayaa; oo ku alla ka maqnaadaa noolaan maayo. Laakiinse Yeehuu saas khiyaanuu u sameeyey, waayo, wuxuu damacsanaa inuu wada baabbi'iyo inta Bacal caabudda oo dhan.

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 Yeehuuna wuxuu yidhi, Shir weyn Bacal quduus uga dhiga. Oo taas waa la naadiyey.

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

21 Oo Yeehuuna wuxuu u cid diray dalka Israa'iil oo dhan, markaasaa waxaa yimid intii Bacal caabudi jirtay oo dhan, sidaas daraaddeed nin aan iman ma jirin. Oo waxay soo galeen gurigii Bacal; oo gurigii Bacalna waa buuxsamay gees ilaa gees.

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 Markaasuu wuxuu ku yidhi kii meeshii dharka u sarreeyey, Inta Bacal caabudda oo dhan dhar u keen. Kolkaasuu dhar u keenay.

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 Markaasaa Yeehuu iyo Yehoonaadaab ina Reekaab waxay galeen gurigii Bacal, Yeehuuna wuxuu ku yidhi kuwii Bacal caabudayay, Baadha oo iska fiiriya inaan halkan addoommadii Rabbiga waxba idinkala joogin, laakiinse aad tihiin kuwa Bacal caabuda oo keliya.

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 Markaasay gudaha u galeen inay allabaryo iyo qurbaanno la gubo bixiyaan. Haddaba Yeehuu wuxuu mar hore soo doortay siddeetan nin inay dibadda joogaan, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Nimanka aan gacantiinna soo geliyo hadduu midna baxsado, kii sii daaya ayaa naftiisa loo qisaasayaa.

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 Oo haddiiba markuu dhammeeyey allabarigii gubnaa oo uu bixinayay ayaa Yeehuu ku yidhi askartii iyo saraakiishii, Gala oo wada laaya, oo yaan midna ka soo bixin. Markaasay seef ku laayeen, oo askartii ordi jirtay iyo saraakiishii ayaa iyagii dibadda u soo tuuray oo waxay tageen magaaladii guriga Bacal.

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 Oo waxay soo bixiyeen tiirarkii guriga Bacal ku jiray, wayna gubeen.

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

27 Wayna jebiyeen tiirkii Bacal, oo dumiyeen gurigii Bacal oo ilaa maantadan waxay ka dhigeen meel lagu saxaroodo.

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 Oo Yeehuu sidaasuu Bacal uga baabbi'iyey dalka Israa'iil.

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

29 Habase yeeshee dembiyadii Yaaraabcaam ina Nebaad kii dadka Israa'iil dembaajiyey Yeehuu kama hadhin, kuwaasoo ahaa weylihii dahabka ahaa ee dhex yiil Beytel iyo Daan.

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 Markaasaa Rabbigu wuxuu Yeehuu ku yidhi, Si wanaagsan baad u yeeshay wax hortayda ku toosan, oo reerkii Axaabna waad ku samaysay wax alla wixii qalbigayga ku jiray oo dhan, haddaba sidaas daraaddeed farcankaaga qarniga afraad ah ayaa ku fadhiisan doona carshiga dalka Israa'iil.

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 Laakiinse Yeehuu iskama uu jirin oo kuma socon sharcigii Rabbiga ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil, kumana raacin qalbigiisa oo dhan, oo kama tegin dembiyadii Yaaraabcaam uu dadka Israa'iil dembaajiyey.

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 Oo waagaas ayaa Rabbigu bilaabay inuu dalka Israa'iil yareeyo, oo Xasaa'eel ayaa iyaga ku laayay dalka Israa'iil oo dhan,

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 oo laga bilaaba Webi Urdun ilaa barigiisa, intaas oo ah dalka Gilecaad oo dhan, iyo reer Gaad, iyo reer Ruubeen, iyo reer Manaseh, iyo tan iyo Carooceerta ku ag taal Webi Arnoon, iyo xataa Gilecaad iyo Baashaan.

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 Haddaba Yeehuu falimihiisii kale iyo wixii uu sameeyey oo dhan, iyo xooggiisii oo dhammuba sow kuma qorna kitaabkii taariikhda boqorradii dalka Israa'iil?

[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 Markaasaa Yeehuu dhintay oo la seexday awowayaashiis, oo waxaa lagu aasay Samaariya. Oo meeshiisiina waxaa boqor ka noqday wiilkiisii Yehoo'aaxaas.

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

36 Oo wakhtigii Yeehuu dalka Israa'iil Samaariya boqorka ugu ahaa wuxuu ahaa siddeed iyo labaatan sannadood.

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