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, began Hosea son of Elah to reign in Samaria, over Israel, [and he reigned] nine years.
2 BOEIPA mikhmuh ah boethae a saii dae anih hmai kah Israel manghai aka om rhoek bangla om pawh.
And he did the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, —only, not like the kings of Israel who were 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 rendered him a present.
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.
Then found the king of Assyria, in Hosea, a conspiracy, in that he had sent messengers unto So king of Egypt, and had not brought up a present to the king of Assyria, as [he had done] year by year, —therefore the king of Assyria shut him up, and bound him in prison.
5 Assyria manghai te khohmuen tom la cet tih Samaria a pha vaengah tah khoupuei te kum thum a dum.
And the king of Assyria came up throughout all the land, —yea he came up to Samaria, and besieged it 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, did the king of Assyria capture Samaria, and carried Israel away captive to Assyria, —and settled them in Halah, and in Habor by the river of Gozan, and the mountains of Media.
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 thus it came to pass that Israel sinned against Yahweh their God, who brought them up out of the land of Egypt, from under the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt, —yea they did reverence to 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.
and walked in the statutes of the nations, whom Yahweh had dispossessed from before the sons of Israel, —and [in the statutes] of the kings of Israel, which they had made.
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 sons of Israel did, secretly, things which were not right, against Yahweh their God, —and built for themselves high places in all their cities, from the watchmen’s tower, to the fortified city.
10 Amih ham kaam neh Asherah te som sang boeih neh thing hing tom kah hmui ah a ling uh.
And they set up for themselves pillars and Sacred Stems, upon 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.
and burned incense there, in all the high places, like the nations whom Yahweh drave out from before them, —and did things that were wicked, so as to provoke Yahweh to anger;
12 BOEIPA loh amih taengah hebang hno he saii pawt ham a thui pah lalah mueirhol te tho a thueng thiluh.
and they served the manufactured gods, as to which Yahweh had said to them, Ye shall not do this thing.
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 Yahweh testified against Israel and against Judah, through all his prophets—every one who had a vision, saying—Turn ye from your wicked ways, and keep my commandments, my statutes, according to all the law which I commanded your fathers; and which I sent unto you through 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.
Howbeit they hearkened not, —but stiffened their neck, like the neck of their fathers, who trusted not in Yahweh 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.
but rejected his statutes, and his covenant, which he solemnised with their fathers, and his testimonies wherewith he testified against them, —and followed vanity, and became vain, and followed the nations that were round about them, as to whom Yahweh charged them, so that they should not do like them.
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.
But they forsook all the commandments of Yahweh their God, and made for themselves something molten—two calves, and made a Sacred Stem, and bowed themselves down to all the army of the heavens, and served 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 made their sons and their daughters pass through the fire, and used divinations and enchantments, and sold themselves to do the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, provoking him 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 Yahweh shewed himself exceeding angry with Israel, and removed them from his presence, —there was none left, save the tribe of Judah, alone.
19 Judah pataeng a Pathen BOEIPA kah olpaek te tuem pawt tih Israel kah a pak khosing dongah pongpa uh.
Even Judah, kept not the commandments of Yahweh their God, —but walked in the statutes of Israel, which they 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 Yahweh rejected all the seed of Israel, and humiliated them, and delivered them into the hand of spoilers, —until he had cast them out from his presence;
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 he rent Israel away from the house of David, and they made Jeroboam son of Nebat, king, —and Jeroboam thrust away Israel from following Yahweh, and caused them to commit 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 sons of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam which he had committed, —they turned not away therefrom;
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.
until that Yahweh removed Israel from his presence, according as he spake through all his servants the prophets, —and so Israel was driven away from off their own soil, to Assyria, until 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.
And the king of Assyria brought [men] from Babylon, and from Cuthah, and from Avvah, and from Hamath, and [from] Sepharvaim, and caused them to dwell in the cities of Samaria, instead of the sons of Israel, —so they took possession of Samaria, and dwelt in the cities thereof.
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.
And so it was, that, when they first dwelt there, they revered not Yahweh, —therefore Yahweh sent among them, lions, which were slaying 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.
Therefore spake they unto the king of Assyria, saying, The nations whom thou hast removed and settled in the cities of Samaria, know not the custom of the God of the land, —and he hath sent among them lions, and lo! they are slaying them, because they know not the custom of the God of the land.
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.
So the king of Assyria commanded, saying—Carry thither, one of the priests, whom ye brought away captive from thence, that they may go, and dwell there, —and teach them the custom 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.
Then came one of the priests whom they had carried away captive from Samaria, and dwelt in Bethel, —and he began teaching them how they should do reverence unto Yahweh.
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.
Howbeit the nations severally were making their own gods, —and did put them in the houses of the high places, which, the Samaritans, had made, each several nation, in their cities wherein, they, were dwelling.
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.
So then, 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.
and, the Avvites, made Nibhaz and Tartak, and, the Sepharvites, did consume their sons in the fire, to Adrammelech and Anammelech 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.
Thus became they reverers of Yahweh, —and yet made for themselves, from the whole compass of them, priests of high places, who became offerers for them in the house 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.
Yahweh, were they revering, —and yet, their own gods, were they serving, according to the custom of the nations from whence they had brought them away captive.
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.
Unto this day, are they offering according to the former customs, —they are not revering Yahweh, neither are they offering after their own statutes, or their own custom, nor yet after the law and the commandment which Yahweh commanded the sons of Jacob, whose name he made to be 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.
With, whom, Yahweh solemnised a covenant, and commanded them saying—Ye shall not revere other gods, —nor bow down to them, nor serve them, nor sacrifice to them;
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, Yahweh—who brought you up out of the land of Egypt, with great might, and with arm outstretched, him, shall ye revere, —and to him, shall ye bow down, and to him, shall ye sacrifice;
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 statutes and the regulations, and the law and the commandment, which he wrote for you, shall ye surely observe to do, continually, —So shall ye not revere other gods;
38 Nangmih taengah paipi ka saii te hnilh uh boel lamtah a tloe pathen rhoek te rhih uh boeh.
But, the covenant which I have solemnised with you, shall ye not forget, —So shall ye not revere 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.
But, Yahweh your God, shall ye revere, —then will, he, deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies.
40 Tedae hnatun uh pawt tih lamhma kah a khosing bangla a saii uh.
Howbeit they hearkened not, —but, according to their own former custom, were they offering.
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.
Thus were these nations doing reverence unto Yahweh, and yet, unto their own carved images, were they rendering service, —yea, their sons and their son’s sons, as the fathers offered, so are, they, offering until this day.
