16  Na ka puta te kupu a Ihowa ki a Iehu, tama a Hanani mo Paaha; i mea ia,

Naku nei koe i whakaara ake i roto i te puehu, a hoatu ana koe e ahau hei rangatira mo taku iwi, mo Iharaira; na haere ana koe i te ara o Ieropoama, a nau i hara ai taku iwi, a Iharaira, hei whakapataritari i ahau, ki o ratou hara;

Nana, ka moti i ahau nga uri o Paaha, me nga uri o tona whare, a ka meinga tou whare kia rite ki te whare o Ieropoama tama a Nepata.

Ko te hunga o Paaha e mate ki te pa ma nga kuri e kai, ko nga mea hoki ona e mate ki te parae ma nga manu o te rangi e kai.

Na, ko era atu meatanga a Paaha me ana mahi, me tona toa, kahore ianei i tuhituhia ki te pukapuka o nga meatanga o nga ra o nga kingi o Iharaira?

Na ka moe a Paaha ki ona matua, a tanumia iho ki Tirita; a ko Eraha, ko tana tama te kingi i muri i a ia.

I kawea ano e Iehu poropiti tama a Hanani te kupu a Ihowa mo Paaha ratou ko tona whare, mo te kino katoa i meatia e ia ki te aroaro o Ihowa, mo tana whakapataritari i a ia ki nga mahi a ona ringa, mona i rite ki te whare o Ieropoama, mo tana patu nga hoki i a ia.

I te rua tekau ma ono o nga tau o Aha kingi o Hura ka kingi a Eraha tama a Paaha ki a Iharaira ki Tirita, e rua nga tau e kingi ana.

Na ka whakatupuria he he mona e tana tangata, e Timiri, rangatira o te hawhe o ana hariata; na i Tirita ia e inu ana a haurangi iho, i roto i te whare o Arata kaitohutohu o tona whare i Tirita.

10 Na haere ana a Timiri, patua iho ia, whakamatea iho i te rua tekau ma whitu o nga tau o Aha kingi o Hura, a ko ia te kingi i muri i a ia.

11 A, ka kingi nei ia, tona nohoanga ano ki te torona, patua iho e ia te whare katoa o Paaha: kihai tetahi tamaiti tane i mahue ki a ia, o ona whanaunga, o ona hoa aroha ranei.

12 Heoi huna ana e Timiri te whare katoa o Paaha; ko ta Ihowa kupu ia i korerotia e Iehu poropiti mo Paaha,

13 Mo nga hara katoa o Paaha, mo nga hara o Eraha, o tana tama i hara nei raua, i hara ai a Iharaira, he whakapataritari i a Ihowa, i te Atua o Iharaira ki a ratou mea horihori.

14 Na, ko era atu meatanga a Eraha me ana mahi katoa, kahore ianei i tuhituhia ki te pukapuka o nga meatanga o nga ra o nga kingi o Iharaira?

15 No te rua tekau ma whitu o nga tau o Aha kingi o Hura i kingi ai a Timiri ki Tirita, e whitu nga ra. Na i te whakapae te iwi i Kipetono o nga Pirihitini.

16 A ka rongo taua iwi i whakapae ra i te korero, kua whakatakoto he a Timiri, kua patua hoki e ia te kingi; heoi meinga ana e Iharaira katoa a Omori rangatira ope hei kingi mo Iharaira i taua ra, i te puni.

17 Na haere atu ana a Omori i Kipetono, ratou ko Iharaira katoa, a whakapaea ana e ratou a Tirita.

18 A, no te kitenga o Timiri ka horo te pa, na haere ana ia ki te wahi pai rawa o te whare o te kingi, a tahuna ana e ia ki te ahi te whare kingi ki runga ki a ia, a mate iho;

19 Mo ona hara i hara ai, i tana mahinga i te kino i te aroaro o Ihowa, i tona haerenga i te ara o Ieropoama, a i tona hara i hara ai, a hara iho a Iharaira.

20 Na, ko era atu meatanga a Timiri me tana he i whakatupu ai ia, kahore ianei i tuhituhia ki te pukapuka o nga meatanga o nga ra o nga kingi o Iharaira?

21 Katahi ka wahia te iwi o Iharaira, kia rua nga wahi: ko tetahi hawhe o te iwi i whai i a Tipini tama a Kinata, ko ia hei kingi; ko tetahi hawhe i whai i a Omori.

22 Otiia i kaha ake te hunga i whai i a Omori i te hunga i whai i a Tipini tama a Kinata; heoi mate ana a Tipini, a ka kingi ko Omori.

23 No te toru tekau ma tahi o nga tau o Aha kingi o Hura i kingi ai a Omori ki a Iharaira, a kotahi tekau ma rua ona tau i kingi ai: e ono nga tau i kingi ai ki Tirita.

24 Na ka hokona e ia i a Hemere te pukepuke, a Hamaria, mo nga taranata hiriwa e rua; a hanga ana ia ki runga ki te pukepuke, a huaina iho e ia te ingoa o te pa i hanga e ia ko Hamaria, ko te ingoa o Hemere, o te tangata nona te puke.

25 Na kino ana te mahi a Omori ki te aroaro o Ihowa, kino atu i a te katoa i mua atu i a ia.

26 I haere hoki ia i nga ara katoa o Ieropoama tama a Nepata, i ona hara i mea ai ia i a Iharaira kia hara, kia whakapataritari i a Ihowa, i te Atua o Iharaira ki a ratou mea horihori.

27 Na, ko era atu meatanga a Omori i mea ai ia me ana mahi toa, kahore ianei i tuhituhia ki te pukapuka o nga meatanga o nga ra o nga kingi o Iharaira?

28 Na ka moe a Omori ki ona matua, a tanumia iho ki Hamaria: a ko tana tama, ko Ahapa te kingi i muri i a ia.

29 No te toru tekau ma waru o nga tau o Aha kingi o Hura, i kingi ai a Ahapa tama a Omori ki a Iharaira: a e rua tekau ma rua nga tau i kingi ai a Ahapa tama a Omori ki a Iharaira ki Hamaria.

30 Na i mahia e Ahapa tama a Omori te kino i te tirohanga a Ihowa, hira atu i a te katoa i mua atu i a ia.

31 Na, me te mea nei he mea mama ki a ia te haere i runga i nga hara o Ieropoama tama a Nepata, ka tango ia i a Ietepere, tamahine a Etepaara kingi o nga Haironi, hei wahine mana; a haere ana, mahi ana ki a Paara, koropiko ana ki a ia.

32 I whakaarahia e ia tetahi aata mo Paara i roto i te whare o Paara i hanga nei e ia ki Hamaria.

33 Na hanga ana e Ahapa te Ahera; a nui atu ta Ahapa i mea ai hei whakapataritari mo Ihowa, mo te Atua o Iharaira i ta nga kingi katoa o Iharaira i mua i a ia.

34 No ona ra ka hanga Heriko e Hiere o Peteere: ko tana matamua, ko Apirama, te papa i te timatanga o te whakaturanga, a ko tana whakaotinga, ko Hekupu, te papa i te whakanohoanga o nga tatau; ko ta Ihowa kupu ia i korerotia e Hohua tama a Nunu.

16 Then the word of the Lord came to Jehu(A) son of Hanani(B) concerning Baasha: “I lifted you up from the dust(C) and appointed you ruler(D) over my people Israel, but you followed the ways of Jeroboam and caused(E) my people Israel to sin and to arouse my anger by their sins. So I am about to wipe out Baasha(F) and his house,(G) and I will make your house like that of Jeroboam son of Nebat. Dogs(H) will eat those belonging to Baasha who die in the city, and birds(I) will feed on those who die in the country.”

As for the other events of Baasha’s reign, what he did and his achievements, are they not written in the book of the annals(J) of the kings of Israel? Baasha rested with his ancestors and was buried in Tirzah.(K) And Elah his son succeeded him as king.

Moreover, the word of the Lord came(L) through the prophet Jehu(M) son of Hanani to Baasha and his house, because of all the evil he had done in the eyes of the Lord, arousing his anger by the things he did, becoming like the house of Jeroboam—and also because he destroyed it.

Elah King of Israel

In the twenty-sixth year of Asa king of Judah, Elah son of Baasha became king of Israel, and he reigned in Tirzah two years.

Zimri, one of his officials, who had command of half his chariots, plotted against him. Elah was in Tirzah at the time, getting drunk(N) in the home of Arza, the palace administrator(O) at Tirzah. 10 Zimri came in, struck him down and killed him in the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah. Then he succeeded him as king.(P)

11 As soon as he began to reign and was seated on the throne, he killed off Baasha’s whole family.(Q) He did not spare a single male, whether relative or friend. 12 So Zimri destroyed the whole family of Baasha, in accordance with the word of the Lord spoken against Baasha through the prophet Jehu— 13 because of all the sins Baasha and his son Elah had committed and had caused Israel to commit, so that they aroused the anger of the Lord, the God of Israel, by their worthless idols.(R)

14 As for the other events of Elah’s reign, and all he did, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Israel?

Zimri King of Israel

15 In the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah, Zimri reigned in Tirzah seven days. The army was encamped near Gibbethon,(S) a Philistine town. 16 When the Israelites in the camp heard that Zimri had plotted against the king and murdered him, they proclaimed Omri, the commander of the army, king over Israel that very day there in the camp. 17 Then Omri and all the Israelites with him withdrew from Gibbethon and laid siege to Tirzah. 18 When Zimri saw that the city was taken, he went into the citadel of the royal palace and set the palace on fire around him. So he died, 19 because of the sins he had committed, doing evil in the eyes of the Lord and following the ways of Jeroboam and committing the same sin Jeroboam had caused Israel to commit.

20 As for the other events of Zimri’s reign, and the rebellion he carried out, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Israel?

Omri King of Israel

21 Then the people of Israel were split into two factions; half supported Tibni son of Ginath for king, and the other half supported Omri. 22 But Omri’s followers proved stronger than those of Tibni son of Ginath. So Tibni died and Omri became king.

23 In the thirty-first year of Asa king of Judah, Omri became king of Israel, and he reigned twelve years, six of them in Tirzah.(T) 24 He bought the hill of Samaria from Shemer for two talents[a] of silver and built a city on the hill, calling it Samaria,(U) after Shemer, the name of the former owner of the hill.

25 But Omri did evil(V) in the eyes of the Lord and sinned more than all those before him. 26 He followed completely the ways of Jeroboam son of Nebat, committing the same sin Jeroboam had caused(W) Israel to commit, so that they aroused the anger of the Lord, the God of Israel, by their worthless idols.(X)

27 As for the other events of Omri’s reign, what he did and the things he achieved, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Israel? 28 Omri rested with his ancestors and was buried in Samaria.(Y) And Ahab his son succeeded him as king.

Ahab Becomes King of Israel

29 In the thirty-eighth year of Asa king of Judah, Ahab son of Omri became king of Israel, and he reigned in Samaria over Israel twenty-two years. 30 Ahab son of Omri did more(Z) evil in the eyes of the Lord than any of those before him. 31 He not only considered it trivial to commit the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, but he also married(AA) Jezebel daughter(AB) of Ethbaal king of the Sidonians, and began to serve Baal(AC) and worship him. 32 He set up an altar(AD) for Baal in the temple(AE) of Baal that he built in Samaria. 33 Ahab also made an Asherah pole(AF) and did more(AG) to arouse the anger of the Lord, the God of Israel, than did all the kings of Israel before him.

34 In Ahab’s time, Hiel of Bethel rebuilt Jericho. He laid its foundations at the cost of his firstborn son Abiram, and he set up its gates at the cost of his youngest son Segub, in accordance with the word of the Lord spoken by Joshua son of Nun.(AH)
