2 Kings 10

1 Nísinsin yìí, Ahabu ṣì ní àádọ́rin ọmọkùnrin ní ìdílé rẹ̀ ní Samaria. Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni, Jehu kọ lẹ́tà, ó sì fi wọ́n ránṣẹ́ sí Samaria: sí àwọn oníṣẹ́ Jesreeli, sí àwọn àgbàgbà àti sí àwọn olùtọ́jú àwọn ọmọ Ahabu. Ó wí pé,

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 “Ní kété tí lẹ́tà bá ti dé ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀, níwọ̀n ìgbà tí àwọn ọmọ ọ̀gá rẹ wà pẹ̀lú rẹ, ìwọ sì ní àwọn kẹ̀kẹ́ àti àwọn ẹṣin, ìlú olódi kan pẹ̀lú ohun ìjà,

“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 yan èyí tí ó dára àti èyí tí ó níye jùlọ nínú àwọn ọmọkùnrin ọ̀gá à rẹ, kí o sì gbé e lé orí ìtẹ́ baba a rẹ̀. Nígbà náà, kí o sì jà fún ilé ọ̀gá à rẹ.”

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 Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ̀rù bà wọ́n, wọ́n sì wí pé, “Tí ọba méjì kò bá le kojú ìjà sí i, báwo ni a ṣẹ le è ṣe é?”

But they were exceedingly afraid, and said, “Behold, the two kings didn’t stand before him! How then shall we stand?”

5 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ẹni tí ń ṣe olórí ilé, ẹni tí ń ṣe olórí ìlú ńlá, àwọn àgbàgbà àti àwọn olùtọ́jú náà rán iṣẹ́ yìí sí Jehu, pé, “Ìránṣẹ́ rẹ ni àwa jẹ́ pẹ̀lú, àwa yóò ṣe ohunkóhun tí o bá sọ. Àwa kì yóò yan ẹnikẹ́ni gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọba; ìwọ ṣe ohunkóhun tí o rò pé ó dára jù lójú rẹ.”

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 Nígbà náà ni Jehu kọ lẹ́tà kejì sí wọn, wí pé, “Tí ìwọ bá wà ní ìhà tèmi, tí o sì pa ọ̀rọ̀ mi mọ́, mú orí àwọn ọmọkùnrin ọ̀gá à rẹ wá sí ọ̀dọ̀ mi ní Jesreeli ní ìwòyí ọ̀la.” Nísinsin yìí, àwọn ọmọ-aládé àádọ́rin ọkùnrin, ń bẹ pẹ̀lú àwọn ènìyàn ńlá ìlú náà tí ń tọ́ wọn.

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 Nígbà tí ìwé náà dé ọ̀dọ̀ wọn, àwọn ọkùnrin wọ̀nyí mú gbogbo àwọn ọmọ ọba tí gbogbo wọ́n jẹ́ àádọ́rin wọ́n sì pa gbogbo wọn. Wọ́n gbé orí wọn sí inú apẹ̀rẹ̀, wọ́n fi ránṣẹ́ sí Jehu ní Jesreeli.

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 Nígbà tí ìránṣẹ́ náà dé, ó sọ fún Jehu, “Wọ́n ti gbé orí àwọn ọmọ ọba náà wá.” Nígbà náà Jehu pàṣẹ, “Ẹ tò wọ́n ní òkìtì méjì ní àtiwọ ẹnu ibodè ìlú ńlá títí di òwúrọ̀.”

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 Ní òwúrọ̀ ọjọ́ kejì, Jehu jáde lọ. Ó dúró níwájú gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn, ó sì wí pé, “Ẹ̀yin jẹ́ aláìjẹ̀bi. Èmi ni mo dìtẹ̀ sí ọ̀gá mi, tí mo sì pa á, ṣùgbọ́n ta ni ó pa gbogbo àwọn wọ̀nyí?

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 Nígbà yìí, kò sí ọ̀rọ̀ kan tí Olúwa ti sọ sí ilé Ahabu tí yóò kùnà. Olúwa ti ṣe ohun tí ó ṣèlérí nípasẹ̀ ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ Elijah.”

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 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Jehu pa gbogbo ẹni tí ó kù Jesreeli ní ilé Ahabu, pẹ̀lúpẹ̀lú gbogbo àwọn ọkùnrin ìjòyè rẹ̀, àwọn ọ̀rẹ́ rẹ̀ tímọ́tímọ́ àti àwọn àlùfáà rẹ̀, láì ku ẹni tí ó yọ nínú ewu fún un.

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 Jehu jáde lọ, ó sì lọ sí ọ̀kánkán Samaria. Ní Beti-Ekedi tí àwọn olùṣọ́-àgùntàn.

He arose and departed, and went to Samaria. As he was at the shearing house of the shepherds on the way,

13 Jehu pàdé díẹ̀ lára àwọn ìbátan Ahasiah ọba Juda, ó sì béèrè, “Ta ni ẹ̀yin ń ṣe?” Wọ́n wí pé, “Àwa jẹ́ ìbátan Ahasiah, àwa sì ti wá láti kí ìdílé ọba àti ti màmá ayaba.”

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 “Mú wọn láààyè!” ó pàṣẹ. Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n mú wọn láààyè, wọ́n sì pa wọ́n ní ẹ̀bá kọ̀nga Beti-Ekedi, ọkùnrin méjìlélógójì. Kò sì fi ẹnìkan sílẹ̀ láìkù.

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 Nígbà tí a sì jáde níbẹ̀, ó rí Jehonadabu ọmọ Rekabu ń bọ̀ wá pàdé rẹ̀, ó sì súre fún un, ó sì wí fún pé, “Ọkàn rẹ ha ṣe déédé bí ọkàn mi ti rí sí ọkàn rẹ?” Jehonadabu dáhùn wí pé, “Èmi wà.” Jehu wí pé, “Bí ó bá jẹ́ bẹ́ẹ̀, fún mi ní ọwọ́ ọ̀ rẹ.” Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ó ṣe pẹ̀lú, Jehu sì fà á lọ́wọ́ sókè sọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀ nínú kẹ̀kẹ́.

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 Jehu wí pé, “Wá pẹ̀lú mi, kí o sì rí ìtara mi fún Olúwa.” Nígbà náà ó jẹ́ kí ó gun kẹ̀kẹ́ rẹ̀.

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

17 Nígbà tí Jehu wá sí Samaria, ó pa gbogbo àwọn tí a fi kalẹ̀ ní ìdílé Ahabu; ó pa wọ́n run, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tí a sọ sí Elijah.

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 Nígbà náà, Jehu kó gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn jọ, ó sì wí fún wọn pé, “Ahabu sin Baali díẹ̀; ṣùgbọ́n Jehu yóò sìn ín púpọ̀.

Jehu gathered all the people together, and said to them, “Ahab served Baal a little, but Jehu will serve him much.

19 Nísinsin yìí, ẹ pe gbogbo àwọn wòlíì Baali jọ fún mi, gbogbo àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ àti gbogbo àlùfáà rẹ̀, má ṣe jẹ́ kí ọ̀kan kí ó kù, nítorí èmí yóò rú ẹbọ ńlá sí Baali. Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá kọ̀ láti wá, kò ní wà láààyè mọ́.” Ṣùgbọ́n Jehu fi ẹ̀tàn ṣe é, kí ó lè pa àwọn òjíṣẹ́ Baali run.

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 Jehu wí pé, “ẹ pe àpéjọ ní ìwòyí ọ̀la fún Baali.” Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n kéde rẹ.

Jehu said, “Sanctify a solemn assembly for Baal!” So they proclaimed it.

21 Nígbà náà, Jehu rán ọ̀rọ̀ káàkiri Israẹli, gbogbo àwọn òjíṣẹ́ Baali sì wá: kò sí ẹnìkan tí ó dúró lẹ́yìn. Wọ́n kún ilé tí a kọ́ fún òrìṣà títí tí ó fi kún láti ìkangun èkínní títí dé èkejì.

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 Jehu sì sọ fún olùṣọ́ pé, “Kí ó mú aṣọ ìgúnwà wá fún gbogbo àwọn òjíṣẹ́ Baali.” Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ó mú aṣọ ìgúnwà jáde wá fún wọn.

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 Nígbà náà, Jehu àti Jehonadabu ọmọ Rekabu lọ sí inú ilé tí a kọ́ fún òrìṣà Baali. Jehu sì wí fún àwọn òjíṣẹ́ Baali pé, “Wò ó yíká, kí o sì rí i pé kò sí ìránṣẹ́ Olúwa kankan pẹ̀lú yín níbí—kìkì òjíṣẹ́ Baali.”

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 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n wọ inú ilé lọ láti lọ rú ẹbọ àti ẹbọ sísun. Nísinsin yìí Jehu ti rán ọgọ́rin ọkùnrin sí ìta pẹ̀lú ìkìlọ̀ yìí: “Tí ẹnikẹ́ni nínú yín bá jẹ́ kí ẹnikẹ́ni nínú àwọn ọkùnrin tí mo ń gbé sí ọwọ́ yín ó sálọ, yóò jẹ́ ẹ̀mí yín fún ẹ̀mí rẹ.”

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 Ní kété tí Jehu ti parí ṣíṣe ẹbọ sísun, ó pàṣẹ fún àwọn olùṣọ́ àti àwọn ìjòyè: “Wọlé lọ, kí o sì pa wọ́n, má ṣe jẹ́ kí ẹnikẹ́ni kí ó sálọ.” Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n gé wọn lulẹ̀ pẹ̀lú idà. Àwọn olùṣọ́ àti ìjòyè ju ara wọn síta, wọ́n sì wọ inú ojúbọ ti ilé tí a kọ́ fún òrìṣà Baali.

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 Wọ́n gbé òkúta bíbọ náà jáde láti inú ilé tí a kọ́ fún òrìṣà Baali, wọ́n sì jó o.

They brought out the pillars that were in the house of Baal and burnt them.

27 Wọ́n fọ́ òkúta bíbọ ti Baali náà túútúú, wọ́n sì ya ilé òrìṣà Baali bolẹ̀. Àwọn ènìyàn sì ń lò ó fún ilé ìgbẹ́ títí di ọjọ́ òní.

They broke down the pillar of Baal, and broke down the house of Baal, and made it a latrine, to this day.

28 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Jehu pa sí sin Baali run ní Israẹli.

Thus Jehu destroyed Baal out of Israel.

29 Bí ó ti wù kí ó rí, Jehu kò yípadà kúrò nínú ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ Jeroboamu ọmọ Nebati, tí ó ṣokùnfà Israẹli láti dá—ti sí sin ẹgbọrọ màlúù wúrà ní Beteli àti Dani.

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 Olúwa sì sọ fún Jehu pé, “Nítorí ìwọ ti ṣe dáradára ní ṣíṣe èyí tí ó tọ́ ní ojú mi, tí o sì ti ṣe sí ilé Ahabu gẹ́gẹ́ bí gbogbo èyí tí ó wà ní ọkàn mi, àwọn ọmọ ọ̀ rẹ yóò jókòó lórí ìtẹ́ Israẹli títí dé ìran kẹrin.”

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 Síbẹ̀ Jehu kò ṣe pẹ̀lẹ́ láti pa òfin Olúwa, Ọlọ́run Israẹli mọ́ pẹ̀lú tọkàntọkàn. Òun kò yípadà kúrò nínú ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ Jeroboamu èyí tí ó ṣokùnfà Israẹli láti dá.

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 Ní ọjọ́ wọ̀n-ọn-nì, Olúwa ti bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí ní dín iye Israẹli kù. Hasaeli fi agbára jẹ ọba lórí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli ní gbogbo agbègbè wọn.

In those days the LORD began to cut away parts of Israel; and Hazael struck them in all the borders of Israel

33 Ìlà-oòrùn ti Jordani ni gbogbo ilẹ̀ ti Gileadi (ẹ̀kún ilẹ̀ ti ará Gadi, Reubeni, àti Manase) láti Aroeri, tí ó wà létí kòtò Arnoni láti ìhà Gileadi sí Baṣani.

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 Fún ti òmíràn ti iṣẹ́ ìjọba Jehu, gbogbo ohun tí ó ṣe, gbogbo àṣeyọrí rẹ̀, ṣé a kò kọ wọ́n sí inú ìwé ìtàn ayé àwọn ọba Israẹli?

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 Jehu sinmi pẹ̀lú baba a rẹ̀, a sì sin ín sí Samaria Jehoahasi ọmọ rẹ̀ sì rọ́pò rẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọba.

Jehu slept with his fathers; and they buried him in Samaria. Jehoahaz his son reigned in his place.

36 Àkókò tí Jehu fi jẹ ọba lórí Israẹli ní Samaria jẹ́ ọdún méjìdínlọ́gbọ̀n.

The time that Jehu reigned over Israel in Samaria was twenty-eight years.
