< 2 Kings 10 >

1 Now Ahab had seventy sons in Samaria. And so Jehu wrote letters, and he sent to Samaria, to the nobles of the city, and to those greater by birth, and to those who had raised Ahab’s sons, saying:
Ahab ni, Samaria vah, capa 70 touh a tawn. Jehu ni Samaria vah, Jezreel ka uk e kacuenaw hoi Ahab capanaw kakawkkungnaw koevah,
2 “Immediately when you receive these letters, you who have your lord’s sons, and chariots, and horses, and reinforced cities, and weapons,
Hete ca heh nangmouh koe a pha tahma vah na bawipa e capa nangmouh koe kaawm e patetlah rangleng hoi, marang kalup e kho senehmaica hai na tawn awh.
3 choose him who is better and who pleases you from among the sons of your lord, and set him on the throne of his father, and fight for the house of your lord.”
Na bawipa e a capanaw thung dawk kahawi poung e kakuep poung e hah rawi awh nateh, a na pa e bawitungkhung dawk tahung sak awh. Na bawipa imthungkhu, ka tuk e taran hah tuk khai awh telah ca a patawn.
4 But they were vehemently afraid, and they said: “Behold, two kings were not able to stand before him. So how will we be able to withstand him?”
Ahnimouh ni a takipoung teh, khenhaw! siangpahrang kahni touh ni hai a khang thai awh hoeh e doeh, maimouh ni bangtelavai khang thai awh vaw telah ati awh.
5 Therefore, those who were in charge of the house, and the prefects of the city, and those greater by birth, and those who raised the sons, sent to Jehu, saying: “We are your servants. Whatever you will order, we will do. But we will not appoint a king for ourselves. Do whatever pleases you.”
Siangpahrang imthungkhu dawk e kahrawikung hoi, khopui kaukkung hoi camonaw kakhenkungnaw ni, Jehu koe vah na san ka tho awh, sak hane kaawm e naw pueng teh, ka sak awh han. Apihai siangpahrang lah ka rawi mahoeh. Nang ni ahawi na tie patetlah hoi sak lawih telah tami a patoun.
6 Then he again wrote letters to them a second time, saying: “If you are mine, and if you obey me, take the heads of the sons of your lord, and come to me at Jezreel at this same hour tomorrow.” Now the sons of the king, being seventy men, were being raised with the nobles of the city.
Ahnimouh koe, kai koe lah na kambawng awh boilah, kaie kâ na ngai awh hane pawiteh, na bawipa hoi a lû hah tangtho het tuektue a pha hoehnahlan, Jezreel kho kai koevah thokhai awh telah ca bout a patawn. Siangpahrang capanaw teh 70 touh a pha awh. Kho thung e kalentoenaw ahnimouh koe ao awh.
7 And when the letters had arrived to them, they took the sons of the king, and they killed the seventy men. And they placed their heads in baskets, and they sent these to him at Jezreel.
Ca patawn e a hmu awh teh, telah doeh. Siangpahrang e a capanaw hah a man awh teh 70 touh, abuemlah hoi a thei awh, a lûnaw hah tangthung dawk a rasoup awh teh, Jezreel kho vah ahnimouh koe a patawn awh.
8 Then a messenger arrived and reported to him, saying, “They have brought the heads of the king’s sons.” And he responded, “Place them in two piles, beside the entrance of the gate, until morning.”
Hahoi laicei a tho teh, siangpahrang capanaw e lû hah a la awh telah a dei. Ahnimouh ni kalupnae longkha kâen nah koevah, hmuen kahni touh lah a pung awh tangtho totouh awm seh atipouh.
9 And when it had become light, he went out. And standing there, he said to all the people: “You are just. If I have conspired against my lord, and if I have killed him, who has struck down all of these?
Atangtho hettelah doeh toe. A tâco teh taminaw pueng koe tamikalan doeh khenhaw! ka bawipa teh ka youk teh ka thei ka tang toe. Telah pawiteh, hetnaw pueng he apinimaw a thei vaw.
10 Now therefore, see that none of the words of the Lord has fallen to the ground, which the Lord spoke over the house of Ahab, and that the Lord has done what he spoke by the hand of his servant Elijah.”
BAWIPA ni Ahab imthungkhu kong a dei e, BAWIPA lawk nâtuek hai ayawmlah bawt boi mahoeh tie hah panuek awh.
11 And so, Jehu struck down all who had remained from the house of Ahab in Jezreel, and all his nobles and friends and priests, until no remnant of them was left behind.
Hot patetlah Jehu ni Jezreel kho vah, Ahab imthungkhu kaawm e naw hoi a tami kalentoenaw hoi a vaihmanaw pueng hoi buet touh hai hlung laipalah koung a thei awh.
12 And he rose up and went to Samaria. And when he had arrived at the shepherds’ cabin along the way,
Hahoi a thaw teh, a tâcotakhai awh teh, Samaria lah a cei awh. Lam vah tukhoumnaw e hmuen Betheked a pha awh toteh,
13 he found the brothers of Ahaziah, the king of Judah, and he said to them, “Who are you?” And they responded, “We are the brothers of Ahaziah, and we are going down to greet the sons of the king, and the sons of the queen.”
Jehu ni, Judah siangpahrang Ahaziah hmaunawnghanaw a hmu. Api nang maw telah a pacei. Ahnimouh ni Ahaziah e hmaunawnghanaw doeh atipouh awh. Siangpahrang e capanaw hoi siangpahrang canunaw e kut ka man awh han telah a pathung awh.
14 And he said, “Take them alive.” And when they had taken them alive, they cut their throats at the cistern beside the cabin, forty-two men. And he did not leave any of them behind.
Jehu ni a hring o lah man awh telah ati. Hahoi a hring lah a man awh teh Betheked tangkom teng vah a thei awh, abuemlah 42 touh a pha teh buet touh hai hlung awh hoeh.
15 And when he had gone away from there, he found Jehonadab, the son of Rechab, coming to meet him, and he blessed him. And he said to him, “Is your heart upright, just as my heart is with your heart?” And Jehonadab said, “It is.” Then he said, “If it is, then give me your hand.” He gave his hand to him. And so he lifted him up to himself in the chariot.
Haw hoi a tâco hnukkhu, ama dawn hanlah ka tho e, Rekhab capa Jehonadab hah a hmu awh, a kut a man pouh teh ahni koe nang na tak dawk kalan e lungpouk ka tawn e patetlah na lung pouk alan vaimoe telah atipouh. Jehonadab ni ka lungpouk a lan doeh atipouh. Telah pawiteh na kut sin haw atipouh teh, a kut teh a dâw pouh. Ahnie leng dawkvah pou a kâenkhai.
16 And he said to him, “Come with me, and see my zeal for the Lord.” And he gave him a place in his chariot.
Ahnimouh ni, kai koe tho leih. BAWIPA hanlah kâyawm e hah panuek van telah atipouh. Hahoi amae leng van a kâcui sak.
17 And he led him into Samaria. And he struck down all who were left behind of Ahab in Samaria, even to the last one, in accord with the word of the Lord, which he spoke through Elijah.
Samaria a pha awh toteh, Elijah koevah dei e BAWIPA e a lawk patetlah Samaria kaawm Ahab imthungkhunaw be a thei awh hoeh roukrak teh paloupalou a thei awh.
18 Then Jehu gathered together the entire people. And he said to them: “Ahab worshipped Baal a little, but I will worship him even more.
Jehu ni taminaw pueng a kaw teh ahnimouh koe Ahab ni Baal e thaw hah a tawk rawkrak e doeh. Jehu ni pawiteh a tawk katang han doeh.
19 Now therefore, summon to me all the prophets of Baal, and all his servants, and all his priests. Let no one be permitted not to come, for great is the sacrifice from me to Baal. Whoever will fail to come, he shall not live.” Now Jehu was doing this treacherously, so that he might destroy the worshippers of Baal.
Hatdawkvah, Baal koevah, thuengnae kalen poung poe hanelah ka tawn. Pâhma e naw pueng teh apihai hring awh mahoeh telah ati. Hatei Jehu ni Baal kabawknaw pueng hah thei hanlah, huenghai hoi a youk e doeh.
20 And he said: “Sanctify a day of solemnity for Baal.” And he summoned
Jehu ni, Baal hanelah ka lentoe e, kamkhuengnae pathang awh atipouh teh hot teh a pathung awh.
21 and sent into all the borders of Israel. And all the servants of Baal came. There was left behind not even one who did not arrive. And they entered into the temple of Baal. And the house of Baal was filled, all the way from end to end.
Jehu ni, Isarel ram pueng dawk a patawn teh, Baal kabawknaw pueng teh a tho awh. A pâhma e roeroe awm hoeh, Baal bawkim dawk a kâen awh teh, Baal bawkimpui teh imhmalah takhang koehai imhlei lah totouh yikkawi awh.
22 And he said to those who were over the vestments, “Bring forth vestments for all the servants of Baal.” And they brought forth vestments for them.
Kamthoupnae hnica ka khenyawnnaw koevah Baal kabawknaw pueng hah, kamthoupnae hni kâkhu sak awh ati. Hottelah kamthoupnae hninaw hah a poe awh.
23 And Jehu, upon entering the temple of Baal with Jehonadab, the son of Rechab, said to the worshippers of Baal, “Inquire and see that there is no one with you from the servants of the Lord, but only from the servants of Baal.”
Jehu teh, Rekhab capa Jehonadab hoi Baal bawkim vah a kâen. Baal kabawknaw pueng koe awi hi vah Baal ka bawk hoeh e Jehovah e tami kaawm payon vaimoe, tawng ei haw kahawicalah khei awh atipouh.
24 Then they entered, so that they might offer victims and holocausts. But Jehu had prepared for himself eighty men outside. And he had said to them, “If anyone escapes from among these men, whom I have led into your hands, your life will take the place of his life.”
Hahoi thuengnae sak hane hoi hmaisawi thuengnae poe hanelah, a kâen awh. Jehu ni alawilah tami 80 touh a kangdue sak teh hete na kut dawk na poe awh e naw heh buet touh haiyah na hlout sak awh pawiteh a hringnae yueng lah na hringnae na sung awh han telah atipouh.
25 Then it happened that, when the holocaust had been completed, Jehu ordered his soldiers and officers, saying: “Enter and strike them down. Let no one escape.” And the soldiers and officers struck them down with the edge of the sword, and they cast them out. And they went into the city of the temple of Baal,
Hmaisawi thuengnae be a poe tahma vah hettelah doeh ao. Jehu ni ransabawi hoi a ransanaw koevah, kâen sin nateh, thet awh lawih. Buet touh boehai hlung han awh atipouh. Tahloi hai koung a tâtueng awh teh ransabawi hoi ransanaw ni he pâmit awh. Hahoi Baal bawkim a onae kho vah a cei awh.
26 and they took away the statue from the shrine of Baal, and they burned it up
Baal bawkim dawk kaawm e meikaphawk a la awh teh hmai a sawi awh.
27 and crushed it. They also tore down the temple of Baal, and they made it into a latrine, even to this day.
Baal talung ung e hah, he a kayei pouh awh. Baal bawkim hah a raphoe awh teh, eiim lah atu totouh a hno awh.
28 And thus did Jehu wipe away Baal from Israel.
Hot patetlah, Jehu ni, Isarel ram hoi Baal teh he a kayei pouh.
29 Yet truly, he did not turn away from the sins of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin. Neither did he forsake the golden calves, which were in Bethel and Dan.
Hatei Isarelnaw hah, ka payon sak e Nabat capa Jeroboam e a payonnae Bethel kho hoi Dan kho kaawm e sui maitocanaw hah pahnawt awh hoeh.
30 Then the Lord said to Jehu: “Since you have diligently carried out what was right and pleasing in my eyes, and since you have accomplished, against the house of Ahab, all that was in my heart, your sons shall sit upon the throne of Israel, even to the fourth generation.”
BAWIPA ni, Jehu koevah ka mit dawk kakuepcalah na sak teh ka lung hoi ka pouk e patetlah Ahab imthungkhu dawk na sak dawkvah, na capanaw hah se pali totouh Isarelnaw e bawitungkhung dawk a tahung han atipouh.
31 But Jehu did not take care, so that he might walk in the law of the Lord, the God of Israel, with all his heart. For he did not withdraw from the sins of Jeroboam, who had caused Israel to sin.
Hatei, Jehu ni, Isarel BAWIPA Cathut, kâlawk teh na lungthin abuemlah, na tawm hoeh dawkvah, Jeroboam ni Isarel yonnae a sak sak e yon hah kâhat awh hoeh.
32 In those days, the Lord began to be weary of Israel. And Hazael struck them throughout all the parts of Israel,
Hatnavah BAWIPA ni Isarel hnamthun takhai han a kamtawng toe. Hahoi teh, Hazael ni, Isarelnaw pueng teh pou a tâ toe.
33 from the Jordan opposite the eastern region, in all the land of Gilead, and Gad, and Reuben, and Manasseh, from Aroer, which is above the torrent Arnon, in both Gilead and Bashan.
Jordan hoi Kanîtholae ram Gilead ramnaw pueng, Gad, Reuben, Manasseh, hoi Arnon yawn hoi Aroer hoi Gilead hoi Bashan ram totouh a tâ.
34 But the rest of the words of Jehu, and all that he did, and his strength, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?
Jehu tawksaknae, thung dawk hoi kaawm rae naw pueng teh Isarel siangpahrangnaw e setouknae cauk dawk a thut awh nahoehmaw.
35 And Jehu slept with his fathers, and they buried him in Samaria. And Jehoahaz, his son, reigned in his place.
Hahoi Jehu teh a na mintoenaw koe a kâhat. Samaria vah a pakawp awh. A capa Zehoahaz ni a yueng lah a uk.
36 Now the days during which Jehu reigned over Israel, in Samaria, were twenty-eight years.
Hatnavah, Samaria vah Jehu ni Isarel kum 28 touh thung a uk.
