2 Manghai 17
1 Judah manghai Ahaz kah kum hlai nit vaengah Elah capa Hosea loh Samaria ah Israel kum ko a manghai thil.
In the twelfth year of Ahaz, king of Judah, Hoshea, the son of Elah, became king over Israel in Samaria, ruling for nine years.
2 BOEIPA mikhmuh ah boethae a saii dae anih hmai kah Israel manghai aka om rhoek bangla om pawh.
He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, though not like the kings of Israel before him.
3 Assyria manghai Shalmaneser loh Hosea te a caeh thil vaengah tah Assyria manghai kah sal la vik om tih a taengah khocang a mael.
Against him came up Shalmaneser, king of Assyria, and Hoshea became his servant and sent him offerings.
4 Tedae Assyria manghai loh Hosea te lairhui la a hmuh. Egypt manghai So taengla puencawn a tueih tih a kum, kum ah Assyria manghai ham khocang thak pah voel pawh. Te dongah Assyria manghai loh anih te atlaeng tih thongim ah a khoh.
But Hoshea's broken faith became clear to the king of Assyria because he had sent representatives to So, king of Egypt, and did not send his offering to the king of Assyria, as he had done year by year: so the king of Assyria had him shut up in prison and put in chains.
5 Assyria manghai te khohmuen tom la cet tih Samaria a pha vaengah tah khoupuei te kum thum a dum.
Then the king of Assyria went through all the land and came up to Samaria, shutting it in with his forces for three years.
6 Hosea kah a kum ko dongah tah Assyria manghai loh Samaria te a loh tih Israel te Assyria la a poelyoe. Te phoeiah amih te Halah kah Gozan tuiva Habor neh Madai khopuei rhoek ah kho a sak sak.
In the ninth year of Hoshea, the king of Assyria took Samaria, and took Israel away to Assyria, placing them in Halah and in Habor on the river Gozan, and in the towns of the Medes.
7 Egypt manghai Pharaoh kut hmui lamkah neh Egypt khohmuen lamloh amih aka caeh puei a Pathen Yahweh taengah Israel ca rhoek tholh uh tih pathen tloe te a rhih uh dongah ni he he a thoeng.
And the wrath of the Lord came on Israel because they had done evil against the Lord their God, who took them out of the land of Egypt from under the yoke of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and had become worshippers of other gods,
8 Namtom kah khosing bangla pongpa uh pueng. Te rhoek te BOEIPA loh Israel ca rhoek mikhmuh lamkah a haek coeng dae Israel manghai rhoek loh koep a pak uh.
Living by the rules of the nations whom the Lord had sent out from before the children of Israel.
9 Olka dongah Israel ca rhoek a hawn uh dongah a Pathen BOEIPA taengah thuem uh pawt tangkhuet. Te dongah aka rhalrhing kah rhaltoengim lamloh khopuei hmuencak hil, a khopuei tom ah amamih ham hmuensang a thoh uh.
And the children of Israel did secretly against the Lord their God things which were not right, building high places for themselves in all their towns, from the tower of the watchmen to the walled town.
10 Amih ham kaam neh Asherah te som sang boeih neh thing hing tom kah hmui ah a ling uh.
They put up pillars of stone and wood on every high hill and under every green tree:
11 Namtom rhoek bangla hmuensang tom ah hnap a phum uh. Te rhoek te BOEIPA loh amih mikhmuh lamkah a poelyoe coeng dae BOEIPA te veet hamla boethae hno a saii uh.
Burning their offerings in all the high places, as those nations did whom the Lord sent away from before them; they did evil things, moving the Lord to wrath;
12 BOEIPA loh amih taengah hebang hno he saii pawt ham a thui pah lalah mueirhol te tho a thueng thiluh.
And they made themselves servants of disgusting things, though the Lord had said, You are not to do this.
13 BOEIPA loh Israel neh Judah te tonghma boeih kah tonghma neh khohmu boeih kah kut lamloh a rhalrhing sak tih, “Nangmih kah longpuei thae lamloh mael uh laeh, a cungkuem dongah na pa rhoek ka uen olkhueng bangla ka olpaek neh ka khosing he tuem uh. Te te ka sal rhoek, tonghma rhoek kut lamloh nangmih taengah kam pat coeng,” a ti.
And he gave witness to Israel and Judah, by every prophet and seer, saying, Come back from your evil ways, and do my orders and keep my rules, and be guided by the law which I gave to your fathers and sent to you by my servants the prophets.
14 Tedae hnatun uh pawt tih a Pathen BOEIPA aka tangnah pawh a napa rhoek kah a rhawn bangla a rhawn te a siing uh.
And they did not give ear, but became stiff-necked, like their fathers who had no faith in the Lord their God.
15 A a oltlueh neh a paipi te a hnawt uh. Te te a napa rhoek taengah a saii tih a olphong neh amih te a rhalrhing sak. Tedae a honghi hnukah pongpa uh tih hoemdawk uh. A kaepvai kah namtom rhoek hnukah amih bangla saii pawt ham BOEIPA loh amih a uen.
And they went against his rules, and the agreement which he made with their fathers, and his laws which he gave them; they gave themselves up to things without sense or value, and became foolish like the nations round them, of whom the Lord had said, Do not as they do.
16 A Pathen BOEIPA kah olpaek cungkuem te a hnoo uh tih amamih ham mueihlawn vaitoca rhoi panit a saii uh. Asherah a saii phoeiah vaan caempuei cungkuem te a bakop thil uh tih Baal taengah tho a thueng uh.
And turning their backs on all the orders which the Lord had given them, they made for themselves images of metal, and the image of Asherah, worshipping all the stars of heaven and becoming servants to Baal.
17 A capa khaw, a canu khaw hmai khuila a kat sakuh. Bihma a bi uh tih lung a sawt uh. BOEIPA te veet ham neh a mikhmuh ah boethae saii ham yoi uh thae.
And they made their sons and their daughters go through the fire, and they made use of secret arts and unnatural powers, and gave themselves up to doing evil in the eyes of the Lord, till he was moved to wrath.
18 Te dongah BOEIPA he Israel taengah bahoeng a thintoek tih amih te a mikhmuh lamloh a khoe. Te vaengah Judah koca amah bueng phoeiah tah pakhat khaw hlun pawh.
So the Lord was very angry with Israel, and his face was turned away from them: only the tribe of Judah kept its place.
19 Judah pataeng a Pathen BOEIPA kah olpaek te tuem pawt tih Israel kah a pak khosing dongah pongpa uh.
(But even Judah did not keep the orders of the Lord their God, but were guided by the rules which Israel had made.
20 Te dongah BOEIPA loh Israel kah tiingan boeih te a hnawt tih amih te a phaep. Amih te a mikhmuh lamloh a voeih duela aka tukvat rhoek kah kut dongah a tloeng.
So the Lord would have nothing to do with all the offspring of Israel, and sent trouble on them, and gave them up into the hands of their attackers, till he had sent them away from before his face.)
21 Israel te David imkhui lamloh a phen tih Nebat capa Jeroboam te a manghai sak. Jeroboam loh Israel te BOEIPA taeng lamloh a rhoe tih a heh dongah amih te tholh a len neh a tholh sak.
For Israel was broken off from the family of David, and they made Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, king, who, driving them away from the laws of the Lord, made them do a great sin.
22 Israel ca rhoek he Jeroboam kah a saii tholhnah cungkuem dongah pongpa uh tih te lamloh a nong uh moenih.
And the children of Israel went on with all the sins which Jeroboam did; they did not keep themselves from them;
23 A sal tonghma boeih kah kut ah a thui bangla BOEIPA loh Israel te a mikhmuh lamloh a khoe. Te dongah ni tahae khohnin hil Israel te amah khohmuen lamloh Assyria la a poelyoe.
Till the Lord put Israel away from before his face, as he had said by all his servants the prophets. So Israel was taken away from their land to Assyria, to this day.
24 Te vaengah Assyria manghai loh Babylon lamkah neh Kuthah lamkah khaw, Ivvah lamkah neh Khamath lamkah khaw, Sepharvaim lamkah khaw a khuen tih Israel ca rhoek yueng la Samaria khopuei rhoek ah kho a sak sak. Te dongah Samaria te a huul uh tih a khopuei ah kho a sak uh.
Then the king of Assyria took men from Babylon and from Cuthah and Avva and Hamath and Sepharvaim, and put them in the towns of Samaria in place of the children of Israel; so they got Samaria for their heritage, living in its towns.
25 Amih kah khosak a tong van neh BOEIPA te hnap rhih uh pawh. Te dongah BOEIPA loh amih taengah sathueng a hlah pah tih amih aka ngawn la om.
Now when first they were living there they did not give worship to the Lord. So the Lord sent lions among them, causing the death of some of them.
26 Te vaengah Assyria manghai taengla puen uh tih, “Na poelyoe tih Samaria khopuei ah kho na sak sak namtom tah khohmuen Pathen kah laitloeknah te ming uh pawh. Khohmuen Pathen kah laitloeknah te a ming uh pawt dongah amih taengah sathueng a hlah pah tih amih a duek sak coeng he,” a ti nah.
So they said to the king of Assyria, The nations whom you have taken as prisoners and put in the towns of Samaria, have no knowledge of the way of the god of the land: so he has sent lions among them, causing their death, because they have no knowledge of his way.
27 Te dongah Assyria manghai loh a uen tih, “A poelyoe khosoih khuiah pakhat tah te lam te thak laeh. Cet tih kho a sak pahoi daengah ni khohmuen Pathen kah laitloeknah te amih a thuinuet eh?,” a ti nah.
Then the king of Assyria gave orders, saying, Send there one of the priests whom you took away, and let him be living there and teaching the people the way of the god of the land.
28 Te dongah Samaria lamkah a poelyoe khosoih rhoek khuiah pakhat tah mael. Bethel ah kho a sak tih BOEIPA metla rhih ham khaw amih te a thuinuet.
So one of the priests whom they had taken away as a prisoner from Samaria came back, and, living in Beth-el, became their teacher in the worship of the Lord.
29 Tedae amah namtu, namtu ah pathen tah a saii uh tih Samaria kah a saii hmuensang im ah a khueh uh. Amih te amah namtu, namtu neh khopuei ah kho a sak uh.
And every nation made gods for themselves, and put them in the houses of the high places which the Samaritans had made, every nation in the towns where they were living.
30 Babylon hlang rhoek loh Succothbenoth te a sak tih Kuthah hlang loh Nergal te a sak. Khamath hlang rhoek loh Ashima te a sak van.
The men of Babylon made Succoth-benoth, and the men of Cuth made Nergal, and the men of Hamath made Ashima,
31 Avvii loh Nibbaz neh Tartak te a saii tih Sepharvi loh Sepharvaim kah pathen Adrammelech neh Anamelek ham a ca rhoek te hmai ah a hoeh uh.
The Avvites made Nibhaz and Tartak, and the Sepharvites gave their children to be burned in the fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech, the gods of Sepharvaim.
32 BOEIPA aka rhih la om uh dae amih kah a hmatoeng lamloh hmuensang khosoih a khueh uh tih amih ham hmuensang im ah aka nawn rhung la om uh.
So they went on worshipping the Lord, and made for themselves, from among all the people, priests for the high places, to make offerings for them in the houses of the high places.
33 BOEIPA aka rhih la om uh cakhaw namtom rhoek kah khosing bangla amah pathen taengah tho aka thueng la om uh. Te lamlong ni amih te a poelyoe.
They gave worship to the Lord, but they gave honour to their gods like the nations did from whom they had been taken as prisoners.
34 Tahae khohnin hil amih he hnukbuet kah khosing bangla a saii uh tih amih loh BOEIPA te rhih uh pawh. Israel ming a phuk thil Jakob kah koca rhoek loh BOEIPA kah a uen bangla a khosing neh a laitloeknah khaw, olkhueng neh olpaek te khaw a vai uh moenih.
So to this day they go on in their old ways, not worshipping the Lord or keeping his orders or his ways or the law and the rule which the Lord gave to the children of Jacob, to whom he gave the name Israel;
35 BOEIPA loh amih taengah paipi a saii tih amih a uen vaengah, “Pathen tloe te rhih uh boeh, amih taengah bakop boeh, amih te thothueng pah boeh, amih taengah nawn uh boeh.
And the Lord made an agreement with them and gave them orders, saying, You are to have no other gods; you are not to give worship to them or be their servants or make them offerings:
36 BOEIPA bueng long ni thadueng len neh a ban a yueng tih nangmih te Egypt kho lamloh n'khuen. Amah te rhih uh lamtah amah taengah bakop uh, amah taengah tah nawn uh.
But the Lord, who took you out of the land of Egypt with his great power and his outstretched arm, he is your God, to whom you are to give worship and make offerings:
37 Nangmih ham a daek oltlueh neh laitloeknah te khaw, olkhueng neh olpaek te khaw khohnin takuem vai hamla ngaithuen uh lamtah a tloe pathen rhoek te rhih uh boeh.
And the rules and the orders and the law which he put in writing for you, you are to keep and do for ever; you are to have no other gods.
38 Nangmih taengah paipi ka saii te hnilh uh boel lamtah a tloe pathen rhoek te rhih uh boeh.
And you are to keep in memory the agreement which I have made with you; and you are to have no other gods.
39 Nangmih kah Pathen BOEIPA bueng te rhih uh. Te daengah ni amah loh nangmih te na thunkha cungkuem kah kut lamloh n'huul eh?,” a ti nah.
And you are to give worship to the Lord your God; for it is he who will give you salvation from the hands of all who are against you.
40 Tedae hnatun uh pawt tih lamhma kah a khosing bangla a saii uh.
But they gave no attention, but went on in their old way.
41 Te dongah natom rhoek he BOEIPA aka rhih la om uh cakhaw a ca neh a ca phoeikah a ca rhoek tah a mueidaep kah thothueng la om uh. Amih loh tahae khohnin hil a napa rhoek kah a saii bangla a saii uh.
So these nations, worshipping the Lord, still were servants to the images they had made; their children and their children's children did the same; as their fathers did, so do they, to this day.
