4 Nanso, wɔbɔɔ huboa kaa sɛ, “Ahemfo baanu[b] mpo antumi annyina, antia saa ɔbarima yi! Na ɛdeɛn na yɛbɛtumi ayɛ?”

5 Enti, mpanimfoɔ a wɔhwɛ ahemfie hɔ ne kuro no so ne ntuanofoɔ ahodoɔ no ne wɔn a wɔhwɛ ɔhene mmammarima so no de saa nkra yi kɔmaa Yehu sɛ, “Yɛyɛ wo nkoa, na biribiara a wobɛka sɛ yɛnyɛ no, yɛbɛyɛ. Yɛrensi obiara ɔhene. Deɛ wogye di sɛ ɛyɛ biara no, yɛ.”

6 Yehu twerɛɛ krataa a ɛtɔ so mmienu de buaa sɛ, “Sɛ mowɔ mʼafa, na mobɛtie mʼasɛm deɛ a, ɔkyena ɛbɛyɛ sɛsɛɛ mmerɛ mu, momfa ɔhene no mmammarima tiri mmrɛ me wɔ Yesreel.”

Na Samaria ntuanofoɔ bi na wɔhwɛ ɔhene mmammarima aduɔson no so a wɔatete wɔn firi wɔn mmɔfraase pɛɛ. 7 Krataa no duruiɛ ara pɛ, na ntuanofoɔ no kunkumm ɔhene no mmammarima aduɔson no nyinaa.

9 Adeɛ kyeeɛ no, ɔkɔkasa kyerɛɛ ɛdɔm a ahyia hɔ no sɛ, “Ɛnsɛ sɛ obi bɔ mo soboɔ. Me na mebɔɔ pɔ de tiaa me wura, nam so kumm no. Na hwan na ɔkunkumm yeinom? 10 Deɛ ɛwɔ hɔ ne sɛ, ɛsɛ sɛ asɛm a ɛfiri Awurade nkyɛn a wɔka faa Ahab fie ho no ba mu. Awurade nam ne ɔsomfoɔ Elia so daa no adi sɛ yei bɛba mu.” 11 Na Yehu kunkumm Ahab abusuafoɔ a wɔtete Yesreel no ne ne mpanimfoɔ atitire ne nnamfonom ne nʼabosomfoɔ nyinaa. Enti, anka Ahab aseni biara.

12 Na Yehu firii hɔ kɔɔ Samaria. Ɔrekɔ no, ɔkɔdaa Bet-Eked nnwanhwɛfoɔ ahɔhodan mu. 13 Ɔhyiaa Yudahene Ahasia abusuafoɔ bi. Ɔbisaa sɛ, “Moyɛ ɛhefoɔ?”

Wɔbuaa sɛ, “Yɛyɛ ɔhene Ahasia abusuafoɔ. Yɛrekɔsra ɔhene Ahab mmammarima ne ɔhemmaa no.”

14 Yehu teaam, ka kyerɛɛ ne mmarima sɛ, “Monkyere wɔn anikann.” Na wɔkyekyeree nnipa aduanan mmienu no nyinaa kunkumm wɔn wɔ Bet-Eked abura so. Wɔn mu biara annwane.

15 Ɛberɛ a Yehu firii hɔ no, ɔhyiaa Rekab[c] babarima Yehonadab a na ɔrebɛhyia no. Wɔkyeakyeaa wɔn ho wieeɛ no, Yehu bisaa no sɛ, “Wowɔ me ho adwene pa, sɛdeɛ mewɔ wo ho adwene pa no anaa?”

Yehonadab buaa sɛ, “Aane.”

Yehu toaa so sɛ, “Sɛ wowɔ me ho adwene pa deɛ a, ɛnneɛ, kyea me.” Yehonadab tenee ne nsa ma Yehu kyeaa no, de no tenaa teaseɛnam no mu. 16 Na Yehu kaa sɛ, “Afei, wo ne me nkɔ, na hunu sɛdeɛ mede me ho ama Awurade no.” Enti, Yehonadab ne no tenaa teaseɛnam no mu kɔeɛ.

17 Ɛberɛ a Yehu duruu Samaria no, ɔkunkumm Ahab fiefoɔ a wɔaka wɔ hɔ no nyinaa, sɛdeɛ Awurade nam Elia so hyɛeɛ no.

18 Na Yehu frɛɛ nnipa a wɔwɔ kuro no mu no nyinaa nhyiamu, ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Ahab somm Baal kakra; Yehu bɛsom no yie. 19 Momfrɛ Baal adiyifoɔ, asomfoɔ ne nʼabosomfoɔ nyinaa mmra. Monhwɛ sɛ wɔn mu biara bɛba, ɛfiri sɛ, merebɛbɔ Baal afɔdeɛ kɛseɛ. Obiara a ɔsom Baal a wamma no, wɔbɛkum no.” Na Yehu adwene ne sɛ, ɔbɛsɛe wɔn a wɔsom Baal no nyinaa.

20 Afei, Yehu hyɛɛ sɛ, “Monhyia, mmɔ dwa anibereɛ so, na monsɔre Baal!” Enti, wɔyɛɛ saa. 21 Ɔsomaa abɔfoɔ kɔɔ Israel afanan nyinaa, kɔfrɛɛ wɔn a wɔsom Baal no nyinaa. Wɔn nyinaa ba bɛhyɛɛ Baal abosomfie[d] hɔ ma tɔ, firi tire kɔsi tire. 22 Na Yehu hyɛɛ deɛ ɔhwɛ ntadedaka no so no sɛ, “Hwɛ ma obiara a ɔsom Baal no nhyɛ batakari yi baako.” Enti, wɔkyekyɛɛ batakari maa wɔn.

23 Na Yehu ne Rekab babarima Yehonadab kɔɔ Baal abosomfie hɔ. Yehu ka kyerɛɛ Baal asomfoɔ no sɛ, “Monhwɛ sɛ wɔn a wɔyɛ Baal asomfoɔ no nko ara na wɔwɔ ha. Mommma obiara a ɔsom Awurade no mma mu.” 24 Enti, na wɔn nyinaa wɔ abosomfie hɔ rekɔbɔ afɔdeɛ ne ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ. Yehu de nʼasraafoɔ aduɔwɔtwe twaa ɛdan no ho hyiaeɛ, hyɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Sɛ moma obi dwane a, mo ara mode mo nkwa bɛtwa so.”

25 Yehu wiee ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ no bɔ ara pɛ, ɔhyɛɛ nʼawɛmfoɔ ne ne mpanimfoɔ no sɛ, “Monkɔkunkum wɔn nyinaa. Mommma ɔbaako koraa nnwane!” Enti, wɔde wɔn akofena kunkumm wɔn nyinaa. Na awɛmfoɔ no ne mpanimfoɔ no twee wɔn amu no bɛguu abɔntene. Yehu asraafoɔ no kɔɔ Baal abosomfie no aban mu. 26 Wɔtwee Baal adum no a na wɔde som no no, sɛee no. 27 Wɔbubuu Baal adum no, sɛee nʼabosomfie no pasaa, de hɔ yɛɛ ɔmanfoɔ agyananbea. Na ɛda so yɛ agyananbea de bɛsi ɛnnɛ.

28 Yehu nam saa ɛkwan yi so, de tɔree Baalsom ase korakora wɔ Israelman mu. 29 Nanso, Yehu ansɛe sika anantwie mma a ɛwɔ Bet-El ne Dan no, bɔne kɛseɛ a Nebat babarima Yeroboam dii Israelfoɔ anim ma wɔyɛeɛ.

30 Na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Yehu sɛ, “Woayɛ ade sɛ wotiee mʼasɛm, nam so sɛee Ahab fiefoɔ. Ne saa enti, mɛma wʼasefoɔ adi ahene wɔ Israel, akɔsi awontoatoasoɔ ɛnan so.” 31 Nanso, Yehu amfa nʼakoma anni Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn mmara no so. Wantwe ne ho amfiri ahonisom a Yeroboam dii Israelfoɔ anim, ma wɔyɛeɛ no ho.

32 Nna no mu, Awurade hyɛɛ aseɛ tee Israel asase no kɛseɛ so. Ɔhene Hasael dii ɔman no afaafa bebree so 33 wɔ Asubɔnten Yordan apueeɛ fam a Gilead nyinaa, Gad, Ruben ne Manase ka ho. Ɔdii asase a ɛfiri Aroer kuro a ɛda Arnon Subɔnhwa ho, de kɔsi atifi fam wɔ Gilead ne Basan.

34 Na Yehu ahennie mu nsɛm a ɛsisiiɛ, ne dwuma ahodoɔ a ɔdiiɛ ne deɛ ɔtumi yɛeɛ no, wɔatwerɛ agu Israel Ahemfo Abakɔsɛm Nwoma no mu.

35 Ɛberɛ a Yehu wuiɛ no, wɔsiee no wɔ ne mpanimfoɔ nkyɛn wɔ Samaria. Na ne babarima Yehoahas na ɔdii nʼadeɛ sɛ ɔhene. 36 Ne nyinaa mu, Yehu dii adeɛ Israel firii Samaria mfeɛ aduonu nwɔtwe.
