¹Now Ahab had seventy sons in Samaria. Jehu wrote letters, and sent to Samaria, to the rulers of Jezreel, even the elders, and to those who brought up the sons of Ahab, saying,

¹Lajêb xcâcßâl li ralal laj Acab cuanqueb saß li tenamit Samaria. Laj Jehú quixtzßîbaheb li hu ut quixtakla reheb li nequeßtaklan saß li tenamit Jezreel ut reheb li nequeßcßamoc be. Quixtakla ajcuiß reheb li nequeßiloc reheb li ralal laj Acab. Saß li hu quixye chi joßcaßin:

²“Now as soon as this letter comes to you, since your master’s sons are with you, and there are with you chariots and horses, a fortified city also, and armor.

²—Lâex li nequextaklan saß xbêneb li ralal laj Acab. Lâex yal êre saß xbêneb li carruajes, li cacuây, li cßaßak re ru nacßanjelac re pletic, joß ajcuiß li tenamit li teßxcol cuiß ribeb. Nak têcßul li hu aßin,

³Select the best and fittest of your master’s sons, set him on his father’s throne, and fight for your master’s house.”

³têsicß ru saß xyânkeb li ralal li kßaxal tîc xchßôl ut châbil. Têxakab aßan chokß rey chokß rêkaj lix yucuaß. Ut texpletik re xcolbal rix, chan.

⁴But they were exceedingly afraid, and said, “Behold, the two kings didn’t stand before him! How then shall we stand?”

⁴Cßajoß nak queßxucuac eb li nequeßtaklan. Queßxye chi ribileb rib: —¿Ani ta cuiß tâcuyuk pletic riqßuin laj Jehú? Chi moco li rey Joram chi moco li rey Ocozías queßxcuy pletic riqßuin, chanqueb.

⁵He 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.”

⁵Joßcan nak li nataklan saß li palacio ut li nataklan saß xbên li tenamit rochbeneb li nequeßcßamoc be ut li nequeßiloc reheb li ralal laj Acab queßxjunaji ribeb ut queßxtakla resil riqßuin laj Jehú. Queßxye chi joßcaßin: —Lâo aj cßanjel châcuu. Takabânu li cßaßru tâcuaj lâat. Mâ ani takaxakab chokß karey. Bânu li cßaßru nacacßoxla nak us xbânunquil, chanqueb.

⁶Then 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 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.

⁶Laj Jehú quitzßîba cuißchic xcaß sut riqßuineb ut quixye chi joßcaßin saß lix hu: —Cui yâl nak tex-oquênk chicuix ut têbânu li cßaßru ninye êre, têcßameb chak cuiqßuin lix jolomeb li ralal li rey Acab. Joßcaßin hônal cuulaj cuânkex arin Jezreel, chan. Li lajêb xcâcßâl chi ralal laj Acab cuanqueb rochbeneb li nequeßcßamoc be aran Samaria xban nak aßaneb li queßqßuirisin reheb.

⁷It happened, when the letter came to them, that they took the king’s sons, and killed them, even seventy persons, and put their heads in baskets, and sent them to him to Jezreel.

⁷Nak queßxcßul li hu li quixtakla laj Jehú, eb li nequeßcßamoc be aran Samaria queßxcamsiheb li lajêb xcâcßâl chi ralal laj Acab. Queßxqßue lix jolomeb saß chacach ut queßxtakla Jezreel riqßuin laj Jehú.

⁸A 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.”

⁸Li takl quicuulac riqßuin laj Jehú ut quixye re: —Xeßcßulun li xeßcßamoc chak re lix jolomeb li ralal li rey Acab, chan. Laj Jehú quixye re: —Qßuehomak saß cuib tûb saß li oquebâl re li tenamit ut canabomak aran toj cuulaj, chan.

⁹It happened in the morning, that 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 struck all these?

⁹Cuulajak chic laj Jehú cô saß li oquebâl re li tenamit. Quixakli chiruheb li tenamit ut quixye reheb: —Lâin xincßûb ru nak xincamsi li rey Joram. Lâex mâcßaß êmâc. Abanan, ¿aniheb li xeßcamsin reheb li ralal xcßajol?

¹⁰Know now that nothing shall fall to the earth of the word of Yahweh, which Yahweh spoke concerning the house of Ahab. For Yahweh has done that which he spoke by his servant Elijah.”

¹⁰Chenauhak nak li cßaßru quixye li Kâcuaß Dios chirixeb li ralal xcßajol laj Acab tâcßulmânk. Incßaß tâcanâk yal chi joßcan. Li Kâcuaß xbânu anakcuan li cßaßru quixye re li profeta Elías, chan laj Jehú.

¹¹So Jehu struck all that remained of the house of Ahab in Jezreel, with all his great men, his familiar friends, and his priests, until he left him none remaining.

¹¹Joßcan nak laj Jehú quixtakla xcamsinquil chixjunileb li rechßalal laj Acab, li cuanqueb Jezreel. Queßcamsîc chixjunileb li nequeßtaklan, chixjunileb li rechßalal joß eb ajcuiß chixjunileb laj tij li queßcßanjelac chiru laj Acab. Mâ jun chic reheb queßcana chi yoßyo.

¹²He arose and departed, and went to Samaria. As he was at the shearing house of the shepherds on the way,

¹²Laj Jehú qui-el Jezreel re tâxic Samaria. Quicuulac Bet-equed saß lix naßajeb laj ilol xul.

¹³Jehu 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.”

¹³Aran quixcßul li ralal xcßajol laj Ocozías, li quicuan chokß xreyeb laj Judá. Laj Jehú quixye reheb: —¿Anihex lâex? chan. Queßxye re: —Lâo ralal xcßajol laj Ocozías. Xic ke Jezreel chirilbal lix cocßaleb li reina Jezabel, joßqueb ajcuiß li rechßalal, chanqueb.

¹⁴He 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.

¹⁴Laj Jehú quixye reheb li cuînk li yôqueb chi tâkênc re: —Chapomakeb chi yoßyo, chan. Joßcan nak queßchapeß chi yoßyo. Ut laj Jehú quixcamsiheb chi chßîchß chixcßatk li chamal jul cuan aran saß li naßajej li nequeßbeseß cuiß rix li carner. Cuib roxcßâl chi cuînk li queßcamsîc ut mâ jun chic reheb queßcana chi yoßyo.

¹⁵When 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.

¹⁵Laj Jehú qui-el saß li naßajej aßan ut cô. Nak yô chi xic, quixcßul laj Jonadab li ralal laj Recab. Laj Jehú quixqßue xsahil xchßôl ut quixye re: —¿Ma junaj lâ cßaßux cuiqßuin? ¿Ma tat-oquênk chicuix? chan. Laj Jonadab quixye: —Junaj. Tin-oquênk châcuix, chan. Laj Jehú quixye re: —Cui yâl nak joßcan, qßue lâ cuukß cue, chan. Laj Jonadab quixqßue li rukß re ut laj Jehú quixtenkßa chi takecß saß li carruaje.

¹⁶He said, “Come with me, and see my zeal for Yahweh.” So they made him ride in his chariot.

¹⁶Laj Jehú quixye re: —Yoßo chicuix ut tâcuil chanru nak xicß nacuil nak incßaß nequeßxqßue xlokßal li Kâcuaß, chan. Ut cuotz queßcôeb Samaria saß li carruaje.

¹⁷When he came to Samaria, he struck all who remained to Ahab in Samaria, until he had destroyed him, according to the word of Yahweh, which he spoke to Elijah.

¹⁷Nak queßcuulac Samaria, laj Jehú quixcamsiheb chixjunileb li ralal xcßajol laj Acab li joß qßuial chic incßaß queßcamsîc. Ut mâ jun chic reheb queßcana chi yoßyo. Quicßulman joß quixye li Kâcuaß re li profeta Elías.

¹⁸Jehu gathered all the people together, and said to them, “Ahab served Baal a little; but Jehu will serve him much.

¹⁸Chirix chic aßan, laj Jehú quixtakla xchßutubanquileb chixjunileb li tenamit ut quixye reheb: —Li rey Acab caßchßin ajcuiß quixlokßoni li yîbanbil dios aj Baal. Abanan lâin kßaxal cuißchic tinqßue xlokßal, chan.

¹⁹Now therefore call to me all the prophets of Baal, all of his worshippers, and all of his priests. Let none be absent; for I have a great sacrifice to Baal. Whoever is absent, he shall not live.” But Jehu did it in subtlety, intending that he might destroy the worshippers of Baal.

¹⁹Joßcan nak taklahomak xbokbaleb chixjunileb lix profeta laj Baal ut chixjunileb li nequeßcßanjelac chiru, joß eb ajcuiß laj tij. Mâ jun êre tâpaltok chi châlc xban nak lâin xincauresi jun li châbil mayej re xqßuebal xlokßal laj Baal. Ut li ani incßaß tâcßulûnk tâcamsîk, chan. Abanan laj Jehú yô chixbalakßinquileb li tenamit. Quixbânu chi joßcan re nak târûk tixcamsiheb chixjunileb li nequeßlokßonin re li yîbanbil dios Baal.

²⁰Jehu said, “Sanctify a solemn assembly for Baal!” They proclaimed it.

²⁰Laj Jehú quixtaklaheb xtakl xyebal resil nak tâcuânk jun xnimal ninkße re xlokßoninquil laj Baal. Ut joßcan qui-uxman.

²¹Jehu 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.

²¹Ut quixtaklaheb ajcuiß lix takl chixyebal resil saß chixjunil li naßajej Israel. Ut chixjunileb li nequeßlokßonin re laj Baal queßcôeb. Mâ jun reheb incßaß quicuulac. Queßoc saß li templo li nequeßxlokßoni cuiß laj Baal ut quinujac li naßajej xban xqßuialeb.

²²He said to him who was over the vestry, “Bring out robes for all the worshippers of Baal!” He brought robes out to them.

²²Laj Jehú quixye re li naxococ re li tßicr nak tixjeqßui reheb chixjunil li tßicr li nequeßrocsi nak nequeßcßanjelac chiru laj Baal.

²³Jehu went with Jehonadab the son of Rechab into the house of Baal. Then he said to the worshippers of Baal, “Search, and look that there are here with you none of the servants of Yahweh, but the worshippers of Baal only.”

²³Tojoßnak laj Jehú qui-oc saß lix templo laj Baal rochben laj Jonadab li ralal laj Recab. Laj Jehú quixye reheb li nequeßcßanjelac chiru laj Baal: —Qßuehomak retal nak incßaß teßoc chak li nequeßlokßonin re li tzßakal Dios. Caßaj cuiß lâex li nequexlokßonin re laj Baal naru nequexcuan arin, chan.

²⁴They went in to offer sacrifices and burnt offerings. Now Jehu had appointed him 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.”

²⁴Nak eb aßan queßoc chixqßuebaleb lix cßatbil mayej, laj Jehú quixxakab câcßâl li cuînk chirix li templo ut quixye reheb: —Cui naêlelic junak li cuînk aßin chêru, lâex texcamsîk chokß rêkaj, chan.

²⁵It happened, as soon as he had made an end of offering the burnt offering, that Jehu said to the guard and to the captains, “Go in, and kill them! Let none escape.” They struck them with the edge of the sword; and the guard and the captains cast them out, and went to the city of the house of Baal.

²⁵Nak queßrakeß chixqßuebal lix cßatbil mayej, laj Jehú quixye reheb li câcßâl chi cuînk: —Ocankex chi saß ut camsihomakeb chixjunileb. Mâ jun reheb têcanab chi yoßyo, chan. Ut eb li cuînk queßxbânu joß quixye laj Jehú. Queßoc ut queßxcamsi riqßuin chßîchß chixjunileb ut queßxqueloheb chirix cab. Chirix aßan queßoc toj chi saß lix templo laj Baal.

²⁶They brought out the pillars that were in the house of Baal, and burned them.

²⁶Ut queßrisiheb chak li yîbanbil dios Baal ut queßxcßat.

²⁷They broke down the pillar of Baal, and broke down the house of Baal, and made it a latrine, to this day.

²⁷Queßxpoß li artal ut queßxjucß lix templo laj Baal ut queßxqßue chokß xnaßaj li cumum ut chalen anakcuan, aßan chic lix cßanjel li naßajej aßan.

²⁸Thus Jehu destroyed Baal out of Israel.

²⁸Joßcaßin nak laj Jehú quixsach ru li yîbanbil dios Baal aran Israel.

²⁹However from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin, Jehu didn’t depart from after them, the golden calves that were in Bethel, and that were in Dan.

²⁹Usta quixbânu aßin laj Jehú, abanan incßaß quixcanab xbânunquil li mâusilal li quixbânu li rey Jeroboam, li ralal laj Nabat, li quicßamoc xbeheb laj Israel chi mâcobc. Laj Jehú incßaß quirisiheb li cuacax oro, li queßxlokßoni aran Bet-el ut Dan.

³⁰Yahweh said to Jehu, “Because you have done well in executing that which is right in my eyes, and have done to the house of Ahab according to all that was in my heart, your sons of the fourth generation shall sit on the throne of Israel.”

³⁰Ut li Kâcuaß quixye re laj Jehú: —Lâat xabânu li us chicuu xban nak xasach ruheb li ralal xcßajol laj Acab joß xcuaj lâin. Joßcan nak lâin ninye âcue nak jun reheb lâ cualal âcßajol teßoc chokß rey toj saß li xcâ tasalileb lâ cualal âcßajol.

³¹But Jehu took no heed to walk in the law of Yahweh, the God of Israel, with all his heart. He didn’t depart from the sins of Jeroboam, with which he made Israel to sin.

³¹Abanan laj Jehú incßaß quixbânu chi anchal xchßôl li cßaßru naxye saß lix chakßrab li Kâcuaß lix Dioseb laj Israel. Incßaß quixcanab xbânunquil li mâusilal li quixbânu laj Jeroboam li quicßamoc xbeheb laj Israel chi mâcobc chiru li Kâcuaß.

³²In those days Yahweh began to cut off from Israel; and Hazael struck them in all the borders of Israel;

³²Saß eb li cutan aßan li Kâcuaß quixtiquib xcßosbal lix naßajeb laj Israel. Laj Hazael quinumta saß xbêneb laj Israel saß eb li nubâl re lix naßajeb.

³³from 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.

³³Laj Hazael, lix reyeb laj Siria quixchap chokß reheb li naßajej jun pacßal li nimaß Jordán saß xcaßyabâl li na-el cuiß chak li sakße. Queßxchap lix naßajeb li ralal xcßajol laj Gad, ut eb li ralal xcßajol laj Rubén ut queßxchap ajcuiß lix naßajeb yi jach li ralal xcßajol laj Manasés. Naticla saß li tenamit Aroer cuan cuiß li nimaß Arnón. Ut nacuulac toj Galaad ut Basán.

³⁴Now 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?

³⁴Li quixbânu li rey Jehú riqßuin xcacuilal xchßôl, tzßîbanbil retalil saß li hu Crónicas, li tzßîbanbil cuiß li quilajeßxbânu lix reyeb laj Israel.

³⁵Jehu slept with his fathers; and they buried him in Samaria. Jehoahaz his son reigned in his place.

³⁵Li rey Jehú quicam ut coxtau lix xeßtônil xyucuaß ut quimukeß Samaria. Ut aß chic laj Joacaz li ralal qui-oc chokß rey chokß rêkaj.Cuakxakib xcaßcßâl chihab quicuan laj Jehú chokß xreyeb laj Israel aran Samaria.

³⁶The time that Jehu reigned over Israel in Samaria was twenty-eight years.

³⁶Cuakxakib xcaßcßâl chihab quicuan laj Jehú chokß xreyeb laj Israel aran Samaria.
