Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1Now Ahab had seventy sons in Samaria. So Jehu wrote letters and sent them to Samaria to the officials of Jezreel, to the elders, and to the guardians of the sons of Ahab, saying:
1A HE kanahiku na keiki a Ahaba ma Samaria. A kakau iho la o Iehu i na palapala, hoouna aku i Samaria, na na luna o Iezereela, na na luna kahiko, a na na kahu o na keiki a Ahaba, i ka i ana'e,
2“When this letter arrives, since your master’s sons are with you and you have chariots and horses, a fortified city and weaponry,
2Ano, a hiki aku keia palapala io oukou la, no ka noho ana o na keiki a ko oukou haku me oukou, a ia oukou na halekaa a me na lio, a me ke kulanakauhale paa i ka papohaku, a me na mea kaua;
3select the best and most worthy son of your master, set him on his father’s throne, and fight for your master’s house.”
3E imi aku oukou i ka mea maikai a me ka mea pono o na keiki a ko oukou haku, a e hoonoho ia ia maluna o ka nohoalii o kona makuakane, a e kaua mai no ko ka hale o ko oukou haku.
4But they were terrified and reasoned, “If two kings could not stand against him, how can we?”
4A makau loa iho la lakou, i ae la, Aia hoi, aole i ku na'lii elua imua ona; pehea la kakou e ku ai?
5So the palace administrator, the overseer of the city, the elders, and the guardians sent a message to Jehu: “We are your servants, and we will do whatever you say. We will not make anyone king. Do whatever is good in your sight.”
5A o ka luna o ko ka hale, a me ka luna o ke kulanakauhale, o na lunakahiko, a me na haku, hoouna aku la lakou io Iehu la, i aku la, He poe kauwa makou nau, a e hana no makou i na mea a pau au e olelo mai ai; aole e hoaliiia kekahi; e hana oe i ka mea pono i kou manao.
6Then Jehu wrote them a second letter and said: “If you are on my side, and if you will obey me, then bring the heads of your master’s sons to me at Jezreel by this time tomorrow.” Now the sons of the king, seventy in all, were being brought up by the leading men of the city.
6Alaila palapala hou aku la oia ia lakou, i aku la, ina no'u oukou, a e hoolohe hoi i ko'u leo, alaila, e lawe oukou i na poo o na kanaka, o na keiki a ko oukou haku, a e hele mai i o'u nei i Iezereela ma keia manawa i ka la apopo. (A o na keiki a ke alii, he kanahiku lakou e noho ana me na kanaka koikoi o ke kulanakauhale, nana lakou i hanai.)
7And when the letter arrived, they took the sons of the king and slaughtered all seventy of them. They put their heads in baskets and sent them to Jehu at Jezreel.
7A hiki aku ka palapala io lakou la, lawe lakou i na keiki a ke alii, a pepehi iho la i na mea he kanahiku, a waiho lakou i na poo maloko o na hinai, a hoouna aku io na la ma Iezereela.
8When the messenger arrived, he told Jehu, “They have brought the heads of the sons of the king.” And Jehu ordered, “Pile them in two heaps at the entrance of the gate until morning.”
8A hele mai kekahi elele a hai aku ia ia, i aku la, Ua lawe mai lakou i na poo o na keiki a ke alii. I mai la ia, E waiho ia lakou ma na puu elua, ma kahi i komo ai i ka ipuka, a kakahiaka.
9The next morning, Jehu went out and stood before all the people and said, “You are innocent. It was I who conspired against my master and killed him. But who killed all these?
9A i kakahiaka, hele aku ia, a ku, i aku la i na kanaka a pau, Ua pono oukou: aia hoi, ua kipi aku au i kuu haku, a pepehi aku ia ia: aka, owai la ka i pepehi i keia mau mea a pau?
10Know, then, that not a word the LORD has spoken against the house of Ahab will fail, for the LORD has done what He promised through His servant Elijah.”
10E ike ana oukou, aole e haule i ka honua kekahi o ka olelo a Iehova i olelo mai ai no ko ka hale o Ahaba: no ka mea, ua hana mai o Iehova i ka mea ana i olelo mai ai ma o Elia la kana kauwa.
11So Jehu killed everyone in Jezreel who remained of the house of Ahab, as well as all his great men and close friends and priests, leaving him without a single survivor.
11A pepehi aku la o Iehu i na mea a pau i koe no ko ka hale o Ahaba ma Iezereela, a me kona poe koikoi a pau, a me kona poe hoalauna, a me kana poe kahuna, aole ia i hookoe i kekahi nona.
12Then Jehu set out toward Samaria. At Beth-eked of the Shepherds,
12A ku ae la ia, a hele aku la a hiki i Samaria. Aia no ia ma ka hale hoopaa o na kahuhipa ma ke aia.
13Jehu met some relatives of Ahaziah king of Judah and asked, “Who are you?” “We are relatives of Ahaziah,” they answered, “and we have come down to greet the sons of the king and of the queen mother.”
13A loaa ia Iehu na hoahanau o Ahazia ke alii o ka Iuda, a ninau aku la, Owai oukou? I mai la lakou, He mau hoahanau makou no Ahazia, a e iho ana makou e ike i na keiki a ke alii a me na keiki a ke aliiwahine.
14Then Jehu ordered, “Take them alive.” So his men took them alive, then slaughtered them at the well of Beth-eked—forty-two men. He spared none of them.
14I aku la, E hoopaa ola aku ia lakou: a hoopaa ola aku la na kanaka ia lakou, a luku aku la ia lakou ma ka luawai o ka hale hoopaa, he kanaha kumamalua na kanaka; aole ia i hookoe i kekahi o lakou.
15When he left there, he found Jehonadab son of Rechab, who was coming to meet him. Jehu greeted him and asked, “Is your heart as true to mine as my heart is to yours?” “It is!” Jehonadab replied. “If it is,” said Jehu, “give me your hand.” So he gave him his hand, and Jehu helped him into his chariot,
15A hele ia mailaila aku a loaa ia ia o Iehonadaba ke keiki a Rekaba e halawai me ia: a hoomaikai aku o Iehu ia ia, i aku la, Ua pono anei kou naau, e like me ko'u naau me kou naau? I mai la o Iehonadaba, Oia no. Ina pela, e haawi mai oe i kou lima. A haawi aku ia i kona lima, a hoee aku la ia ia ma ka halekaa me ia.
16saying, “Come with me and see my zeal for the LORD!” So he had him ride in his chariot.
16I aku la ia, E hele pu oe me au, a ike oe i kuu ikaika no Iehova. A hooholo lakou ia ia ma kona halekaa.
17When Jehu came to Samaria, he struck down everyone belonging to Ahab who remained there, until he had destroyed them, according to the word that the LORD had spoken to Elijah.
17A hiki aku la ia i Samaria, pepehi aku la ia i na mea a pau i koe no Ahaba ma Samaria, a pau ia i ka lukuia, e like me ka olelo a Iehova ana i olelo mai ai ma o Elia la.
18Then Jehu brought all the people together and said, “Ahab served Baal a little, but Jehu will serve him a lot.
18Houluulu ae la o Iehu i na kanaka a pau, a i aku la ia lakou, Malama uuku aku o Ahaba ia Baala, e malama nui auanei o Iehu ia ia.
19Now, therefore, summon to me all the prophets of Baal, all his servants, and all his priests. See that no one is missing, for I have a great sacrifice for Baal. Whoever is missing will not live.” But Jehu was acting deceptively in order to destroy the servants of Baal.
19Ano hoi, e hoakoakoa mai oukou i na kaula a pau a Baala, a me kana poe kauwa a pau, a me kana poe kahuna a pau io'u nei, mai hookoeia kekahi; no ka mea, he mohai nui ka'u no Baala; o kela mea keia mea e koe ana, aole ia e ola. Aka, hana no o Iehu me ka hoopunipuni, i luku aku ai ia i ka poe malama ia Baala.
20And Jehu commanded, “Proclaim a solemn assembly for Baal.” So they announced it.
20I aku la o Iehu, E hoolaa aku i ka houluulu ana no Baala. A hoolaa aku la lakou.
21Then Jehu sent word throughout Israel, and all the servants of Baal came; there was not a man who failed to show. They entered the temple of Baal, and it was filled from end to end.
21A hoouna aku la o Iehu i ka Iseraela a puni; a hele mai na kauwa a pau a Baala, aole i koe aku kekahi i hele ole mai. A komo lakou i ka hale o Baala, a piha loa ka hale o Baala mai kela aoao a i keia aoao.
22And Jehu said to the keeper of the wardrobe, “Bring out garments for all the servants of Baal.” So he brought out garments for them.
22I aku la ia i ka mea nana i malama ke keena lole, E lawe mai iwaho i ka lole no na kauwa a Baala. A lawe mai no ia i ka lole no lakou.
23Next, Jehu and Jehonadab son of Rechab entered the temple of Baal, and Jehu said to the servants of Baal, “Look around to see that there are no servants of the LORD here among you—only servants of Baal.”
23Komo aku o Iehu, a me Iehonadaba, ke keiki a Rekaba, iloko o ka hale o Baala, a i aku la i na kauwa a Baala, E nana oukou a ike, i ole maanei me oukou kekahi o na kauwa a Iehova, o na kauwa a Baala wale no.
24And they went in to offer sacrifices and burnt offerings. Now Jehu had stationed eighty men outside and warned them, “If anyone allows one of the men I am delivering into your hands to escape, he will forfeit his life for theirs.”
24A komo aku la lakou e kaumaha aku i ka mohai, a me na mohaikuni, alaila hoonoho iho la o Iehu i na kanaka, he kanawalu mawaho, i aku la, O ka mea nana e hoopakele kekahi o na kanaka a'u i lawe mai nei iloko o ko oukou lima, o lilo no kona ola no ko ia la ola.
25When he had finished making the burnt offering, Jehu said to the guards and officers, “Go in and kill them. Do not let anyone out.” So the guards and officers put them to the sword, threw the bodies out, and went into the inner room of the temple of Baal.
25A pau kana kaumaha ana'ku i ka mohaikuni, i aku la o Iehu i ka poe kiai, a i na luna, E komo iloko, e luku ia lakou; mai puka iwaho kekahi. A luku aku la ua poe la ia lakou me ka maka o ka pahikaua; a o ka poe kiai a me na luna hoolei aku la ia lakou, a hele aku la i ke kulanakauhale o Baala.
26They brought out the sacred pillar of the temple of Baal and burned it.
26A lawe mai lakou i na kii mawaho o ka hale o Baala, a puhi aku la i ke ahi.
27They also demolished the sacred pillar of Baal. Then they tore down the temple of Baal and made it into a latrine, which it is to this day.
27A wawahi lakou i ke kii o Baala, a wawahi hoi i ka hale o Baala, a hoolilo lakou ia mea i hale kiona a hiki i keia la.
28Thus Jehu eradicated Baal from Israel,
28A luku aku la o Iehu ia Baala mai loko aku o ka Iseraela.
29but he did not turn away from the sins that Jeroboam son of Nebat had caused Israel to commit—the worship of the golden calves at Bethel and Dan.
29Aka hoi, o na hewa o Ieroboama ke keiki a Nebata, nana i hoolilo ka Iseraela i ka hewa, aole i haalele o Iehu i ka hahai ana mamuli o lakou, o na keikibipi gula ma Betela a ma Dana.
30Nevertheless, the LORD said to Jehu, “Because you have done well in carrying out what is right in My sight and have done to the house of Ahab all that was in My heart, four generations of your sons will sit on the throne of Israel.”
30A olelo mai o Iehova ia Iehu, no ka mea, ua maikai oe i ka hana ana i ka pono ia'u, a ua hana aku oe i ko ka hale o Ahaba, e like me ka mea a pau ma ko'u naau, e noho auanei kau poe keiki maluna o ka nohoalii o ka Iseraela a hiki i ke kualua.
31Yet Jehu was not careful to follow the instruction of the LORD, the God of Israel, with all his heart. He did not turn away from the sins that Jeroboam had caused Israel to commit.
31Aka, aole o Iehu i malama i ka hele ana ma ke kanawai o Iehova ke Akua o ka Iseraela me kona naau a pau: no ka mea, aole ia i haalele i na hewa o Ieroboama, nana i hoolilo ka Iseraela i ka hewa.
32In those days the LORD began to reduce the size of Israel. Hazael defeated the Israelites throughout their territory
32I kela manawa i hoomaka ai o Iehova e paipai i ka Iseraela: a luku mai la o Hazaela ia lakou ma na mokuna a pau o ka Iseraela;
33from the Jordan eastward through all the land of Gilead (the region of Gad, Reuben, and Manasseh), and from Aroer by the Arnon Valley through Gilead to Bashan.
33Mai Ioredane, mai ka hikina o ka la, i ka aina a pau o Gileada, i ka Gada, a me ka Reubena, a me ka Manase, mai Aroera ma ke kahawai o Arenona, a hiki i Gileada a me Basana.
34As for the rest of the acts of Jehu, along with all his accomplishments and all his might, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
34A o na mea i koe a Iehu, a o na mea a pau ana i hana'i, a me kona ikaika a pau, aole anei i kakauia lakou iloko o ka buke oihanaalii a na'lii o ka Iseraela?
35And Jehu rested with his fathers and was buried in Samaria, and his son Jehoahaz reigned in his place.
35A hiamoe iho la o Iehu me kona poe makua; a kanu lakou ia ia ma Samaria. A noho alii o Iehoahaza kana keiki ma kona wahi.
36So the duration of Jehu’s reign over Israel in Samaria was twenty-eight years.
36A o ka manawa a Iehu i alii ai maluna o ka Iseraela ma Samaria, he iwakalua na makahiki ia a me kumamawalu.
