And he arose and he went and he went Samaria he [was at] Beth Eked of [the] Shepherds on [the] way.

13 Ohyiaa Yudahene Ahasia abusuafo bi. Obisae se, “Moyɛ hefo?” Wobuae se, “Yɛyɛ ɔhene Ahasia abusuafo. Yɛrekɔsra ɔhene Ahab mmabarima ne ɔhemmea no.”

And Jehu he found [the] brothers of Ahaziah [the] king of Judah and he said who? [are] you and they said [are] [the] brothers of Ahaziah we and we have come down for [the] peace of [the] sons of the king and [the] sons of the queen-mother.

14 Yehu teɛɛ mu, ka kyerɛɛ ne mmarima se, “Monkyere wɔn anikann.” Na wɔkyekyeree nnipa aduanan abien no nyinaa kunkum wɔn wɔ Bet-Eked abura so. Wannyaw wɔn mu biara.

Wokyiakyiaa wɔn ho wiei no, Yehu bisaa no se, “Wowɔ me ho adwene pa, sɛnea mewɔ wo ho adwene pa no ana?” Yehonadab buae se, “Yiw.” Yehu toaa so se, “Sɛ ɛte saa de a, kyia me.” Yehonadab teɛɛ ne nsa ma Yehu kyiaa no, de no tenaa teaseɛnam no mu.

And he went from there and he found Jonadab [the] son of Rechab to meet him and he blessed him and he said to him ¿ [is] there with heart your right just as heart my [is] with heart your and he said Jonadab there is and there is give! hand your and he gave hand his and he took up him to himself into the chariot.

16 Na Yehu kae se, “Afei, wo ne me nkɔ, na hu sɛnea mede me ho ama Awurade no.” Enti Yehonadab ne no tenaa teaseɛnam no mu kɔe.

And he said come! with me and look on zeal my for Yahweh and they made ride him in chariot his.

17 Bere a Yehu duu Samaria no, okunkum Ahab fifo a wɔaka wɔ hɔ no nyinaa, sɛnea Awurade nam Elia so hyɛe no.

And he came Samaria and he struck down all those [who] remained of Ahab in Samaria until he had destroyed him according to [the] word of Yahweh which he had spoken to Elijah.

18 Na Yehu frɛɛ nnipa a wɔwɔ kurow no mu no nyinaa nhyiamu, ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Ahab som Baal kakra; Yehu bɛsom no yiye.

And he gathered Jehu all the people and he said to them Ahab he served Baal a little Jehu he will serve him much.

19 Momfrɛ Baal adiyifo, asomfo ne nʼakɔmfo nyinaa mmra. Monhwɛ sɛ wɔn mu biara bɛba, efisɛ merebɛbɔ Baal afɔre kɛse. Obiara a ɔsom Baal a wamma no, wobekum no.” Na Yehu redaadaa wɔn, sɛnea ɔbɛsɛe wɔn a wɔsom Baal no nyinaa.

And therefore all [the] prophets of Baal all [those who] serve him and all priests his summon to me anyone may not he be missing for a sacrifice great [belongs] to me to Baal any [one] who he will be missing not he will live and Jehu he acted with guile so as to destroy [those who] serve Baal.

20 Afei, Yehu hyɛe se, “Munhyia, mmɔ gua anibere so, na monsɔre Baal!” Enti wɔyɛɛ saa.

And he said Jehu consecrate an assembly to Baal and they proclaimed [it].

21 Ɔsomaa abɔfo kɔɔ Israel mmaa nyinaa, kɔfrɛɛ wɔn a wɔsom Baal no nyinaa. Wɔn nyinaa ba bɛhyɛɛ Baal abosomfi hɔ ma tɔ, fi ti kosi ti.

And he sent Jehu in all Israel and they came all [those who] serve Baal and not he was left anyone who not he came and they went [the] house of Baal and it was filled [the] house of Baal mouth to mouth.

22 Na Yehu hyɛɛ nea ɔhwɛ ntadedaka no so no se, “Hwɛ ma obiara a ɔsom Baal no nhyɛ batakari yi baako.” Enti wɔkyekyɛɛ batakari maa wɔn.

And he said to [the one] who [was] over the wardrobe bring out clothing for all [those who] serve Baal and he brought out for them the clothing.

23 Na Yehu ne Rekab babarima Yehonadab kɔɔ Baal abosomfi hɔ. Yehu ka kyerɛɛ Baal asomfo no se, “Monhwɛ sɛ wɔn a wɔyɛ Baal asomfo no nko ara na wɔwɔ ha. Mommma obiara a ɔsom Awurade no mma mu.”

And he went Jehu and Jonadab [the] son of Rechab [the] house of Baal and he said to [those who] serve Baal search and see lest there here with you [be] any of [the] servants of Yahweh that except [those who] serve Baal to alone them.

24 Enti na wɔn nyinaa wɔ abosomfi hɔ rekɔbɔ afɔre ne ɔhyew afɔre. Yehu de nʼasraafo aduɔwɔtwe twaa ɔdan no ho hyiae, hyɛɛ wɔn se, “Sɛ moma obi guan a, mo ara mode mo nkwa betwa so.”
