列王紀下 17
1 猷大王阿哈次十二年，厄拉的兒子曷舍亞在撒瑪黎雅登極為以色列王，在位凡九年。
Yn the tweluethe yeer of Achaz, kyng of Juda, Osee, sone of Hela, regnyde in Samarie on Israel nyne yeer.
2 他行了上主視為惡的事，但不像他以前的以色列列王。
And he dide yuel bifor the Lord, but not as the kyngis of Israel, that weren bifor hym.
3 亞述王沙耳瑪乃色上來攻打曷舍亞，他便向亞述王稱臣納貢。
Salmanasar, kyng of Assiriens, stiede ayens this Osee, and Osee was maad seruaunt to hym, and yildide tributis to hym.
4 後來亞述王發覺曷舍亞企圖造反。原來曷舍亞曾派使者去見埃及王索阿，就不再向亞述王每年納貢，所以亞述王將他拘捕，囚在監裡。
And whanne the kyng of Assiriens hadde perseyued, that Osee he enforside to be rebelle, and hadde sent messangeris to Sua, kyng of Egipt, that he schulde not yyue tributis to the kyng of Assiriens, as he was wont bi alle yeeris, `the kyng of Assiriens bisegide hym, and sente him boundun in to prisoun.
5 隨後，亞述王進軍侵入全國，直逼撒瑪黎雅，圍攻了三年。
And he yede thoruy al the lond, and he stiede to Samarie, and bisegide it bi thre yeer.
6 曷舍亞九年，亞述王攻陷了撒瑪黎雅，把以色列人擄往亞述，把他們安置在哈拉黑和靠近哥倉河的哈波爾，以及瑪待各城。
Forsothe in the nynthe yeer of Osee, the kyng of Assiriens took Samarie, and translatide Israel in to Assiriens; and he puttide hem in Hela, and in Thabor, bisidis the flood Gozam, in the citee of Medeis.
7 這是因為以色列子民犯罪，得罪了領他們離開埃及地，擺脫埃及王法郎之手的上主，他們的天主，而去敬拜了別的神，
Forsothe it was don, whanne the sones of Israel hadden synned bifor her Lord God, that ledde hem out of the lond of Egipt, fro the hond of Farao, kyng of Egipt, thei worschipeden alien goddis;
8 隨從了上主由以色列子民面前，所驅逐的異民的習俗，和以色列列王所規定的律例。
and yeden bi the custom of hethene men, whiche the Lord hadde wastid in the siyt of the sones of Israel, and of the kyngis of Israel, for thei hadden do in lijk maner.
9 以色列子民作了不義的事，得罪了上主他們的天主：在他們所有的城中，從守望台直到設防的城，到處建有高丘；
And the sones of Israel offendiden her Lord God bi wordis not riytful, and thei bildiden to hem silf hiy thingis in alle her citees, fro the tour of keperis `til to a strengthid citee.
10 在各高崗上，在所有的綠樹下，豎有石柱和木偶；
And thei maden to hem ymagis, and wodis, in ech hiy hil, and vndur ech tree ful of bowis;
11 在高丘上，依照上主從他們面前所驅逐的異民的習俗，焚香獻祭，作惡激怒上主；
and thei brenten there encence on the auteris bi the custom of hethene men, whiche the Lord hadde translatid fro the face of hem. And thei diden werste wordis, and thei wraththiden the Lord;
12 又敬拜偶像，雖然天主曾明明吩咐他們說：你們不可行這樣的事!
and worschipiden vnclenesses, of whiche the Lord comaundide to hem, that thei schulden not do this word.
13 上主曾藉眾先知和先見者警告以色列和猶大說：「你們應離棄你們的邪道，按照我給你們祖先所規定的，藉我的僕人，眾先知給你們傳授的一切法律，遵守我的誡命和我的法令。」
And the Lord witnesside in Israel and in Juda, bi the hond of alle prophetis and seeris, and seide, Turne ye ayen fro youre werste weies, and kepe ye my comaundementis, and ceremonyes, bi al the lawe whiche Y comaundide to youre fadris, and as Y sente to you in the hond of my seruauntis prophetis.
14 他們卻不聽從，如同他們的祖先一樣執拗，不肯相信上主他們的天主，
Whiche herden not, but maden hard her nol bi the nol of her fadris, that nolden obeie to her Lord God.
15 拒絕了上主的法律和他與他們祖先所訂立的盟約，以及對他們所發出的警告；隨從他們四周上主曾命令他們不可效法的異民，追求虛無，自己成為虛無；
And thei castiden, awei the lawful thingis of hym, and the couenaunt which he couenauntide with her fadris, and the witnessyngis bi whiche he witnesside to hem; and thei sueden vanytees, `that is, idols, and diden veynli; and sueden hethene men, that weren `bi the cumpas of hem; of whiche vanytees the Lord comaundide to hem, that thei schulden not do as also tho hethene men diden.
16 拋棄了上主他們天主的一切命令，為自己鑄造神像，即兩個牛犢，製造木偶，敬拜天上萬象，事奉巴耳，
And thei forsoken alle the comaundementis of her Lord God, and thei maden to hem twei yotun calues, and wodis, and worschipiden al the knyythod of heuene; and thei seruyden Baal, and halewiden to hym her sones,
17 使兒女經火獻神，行占卜和法術，出賣自己，行上主視為惡的事，激怒上主；
and her douytris thoruy fier, and thei seruyden to fals dyuynyng, and to dyuynyng bi chiterynge of briddis; and thei yauen hem silf to do yuel bifor the Lord, and thei wraththiden hym.
18 因此，上主對以色列大發憤怒，將他們從自己面前趕走，只留下了猶大支派。
And the Lord was wrooth greetli to Israel; and he took awei hem fro his siyt, and noon lefte, no but the lynage of Juda oneli.
19 但是，猶大也沒有遵守上主，他們天主的命令，反而也隨從了以色列所行的習俗。
But nether Juda hym silf kepte the heestis of `his Lord God, netheles he erride, and yede in the errour of Israel, whiche it wrouyte.
20 為此，上主拋棄了以色列所有的後裔，使他們受壓迫，任人宰割，終於將他們從自己面前趕走。
And the Lord castide awei al the seed of Israel, and turmentide hem, and bitook hem in the hond of rauynouris; til he castide awei hem fro his face,
21 的確，自從上主使以色列與達味家分裂以後，以色列便立了乃巴特的兒子雅洛貝罕為王；雅洛貝罕即引以色列遠離了上主，使他們陷於重罪。
fro that tyme in which Israel was departid fro the hous of Dauid, and maden to hem a kyng, Jeroboam, sone of Nabath. For Jeroboam departide Israel fro the Lord, and made hem to do a greet synne.
22 以色列子民遂追隨雅洛貝罕所犯的一切罪惡，始終沒有離開，
And the sones of Israel yeden in alle the synnes of Jeroboam, whiche he hadde do; and thei departiden not fro tho synnes,
23 直到上主將以色列從自己面前趕走，正如上主藉自己的僕人眾先知所說的話。因此，以色列由本國被擄往亞述，直到今日。
til the Lord dide awei Israel fro his face, as he spak in the hond of alle hise seruauntis prophetis; and Israel was translatid fro his lond in to Assiriens til in to this dai.
24 亞術王從巴比倫、雇特、阿瓦、哈瑪特和色法瓦因徙置一些人民，住在撒瑪黎雅各城，以代替以色列人；這些人佔據了撒瑪黎雅，就住在各城內。
Forsothe the kyng of Assiriens brouyte puple fro Babiloyne, and fro Cutha, and fro Hailath, and fro Emath, and fro Sepharuaym, and settide hem in the citees of Samarie for the sones of Israel; whiche hadden in possessioun Samarie, and dwelliden in the citees therof.
25 他們起初住在那裡的時候，因為不敬畏上主，所以上主打發獅子來，咬死了他們一些人。
And whanne thei bigunnen to dwelle there, thei dredden not the Lord; and the Lord sente to hem liouns, that killiden hem.
26 有人報告亞述王說：「你在撒瑪黎雅各城徙置的人民，不知敬拜土神的禮儀，因此那神打發獅子來咬死了他們一些人，因為他們不知敬拜土神的禮儀。」
And it was teld to the kyng of Assiriens, and was seid, The folkis whiche thou translatidist, and madist to dwelle in the citees of Samarie, kunnen not the lawful thingis of God of the lond; and the Lord sente liouns in to hem, and lo! liouns sleen hem; for thei kunnen not the custom of God of the lond.
27 亞述王於是下令說：「你們叫一個從撒瑪黎雅擄來的司祭回去，住在那裡，教給他們敬拜土神的禮儀。」
Sotheli the kyng of Assiriens comaundide, and seide, Lede ye thidur oon of the preestis, whiche ye brouyten prisoneris fro thennus, that he go, and dwelle with hem, and teche hem the lawful thingis of God of the lond.
28 於是，有一個從撒瑪黎雅擄去的司祭回來，住在貝特耳，教給他們該怎麼敬拜雅威。
Therfor whanne oon of these preestis had come, that weren led prisoneris fro Samarie, he dwellide in Bethel, and tauyte hem, how thei schulden worschipe the Lord.
29 雖然如此，各個民族仍然製造自己的神，供在撒瑪黎雅人所建築的高丘上的廟宇中；各個民族在自己所住的城內，供著自己的神。
And ech folk made his god, and thei settiden tho goddis in the hiy templis, whiche the men of Samarie hadden maad, folk and folk in her citees, in whiche thei dwelliden.
30 巴比倫人製造了穌苛特貝諾特，雇特人製造了乃爾加耳，哈瑪特人製造了阿史瑪，
For men of Babiloyne maden Socoth Benoth; forsothe men of Cutha maden Vergel; and men of Emath maden Asyma;
31 阿瓦人製造了尼貝哈次和塔爾塔克，色法瓦因人使兒女經火，獻於色法瓦因的神阿德辣默肋客和阿納默肋客；
forsothe Eueis maden Nabaath and Tharcha; sotheli thei that weren of Sepharuaym brenten her sones in fier to Adramelech and Anamelech, goddis of Sepharuaym.
32 同時他們也敬拜上主，從自己中間選派一些人作高丘上的司祭，在高丘上的廟宇內自己獻祭。
And netheles thei worschipiden the Lord; forsothe of the laste men thei maden preestis of the hiye thingis, and settiden hem in hiye templis.
33 這樣，他們也敬拜上主，也奉事自己的神，從那一國徙置而來的，就照那一國的禮儀。
And whanne thei worschipiden God, thei serueden also her goddis, bi the custom of hethene men, fro whiche thei weren translatid to Samarie;
34 直到今日，他們仍然依照先前的禮儀而行。雅各伯──上主給他改名為以色列──的子孫，也不全心敬畏上主，也不按照上主給他們所立的條例、禮儀、法律和誡命而行。
`til in to present dai thei suen the eld custom; thei dredden not the Lord, nethir thei kepen hise cerymonyes, and domes, and lawe, and comaundement, which the Lord comaundide to the sones of Jacob, whom he nemyde Israel;
35 上主曾與他們立約，吩咐他們說：「你們不可敬拜別的神，也不可跪拜，也不可事奉，也不可向他們獻祭；
and he smoot a couenaunt with hem, and comaundide to hem, and seide, Nyle ye drede alien goddis, and onoure ye not outwardli hem, nethir worschipe ye inwardli hem, and make ye not sacrifice to hem;
36 只應敬拜那以強力和伸展的手臂，領你們離開埃地的上主，只應向他跪拜，向他獻祭。
but youre Lord God, that ledde you out of the lond of Egipt in greet strengthe, and in arm holdun forth, drede ye hym, and worschipe ye hym, and make ye sacrifice to hym.
37 我為你們寫定的條例、禮儀、法律和誡命，要時常謹守遵行，不可敬拜別的神。
And kepe ye the cerymonyes, and domes, and the lawe, and comaundement, which he wroot to you, that ye do in alle daies; and drede ye not alien goddis.
38 我與你們立的盟約，不要忘記，也不要敬拜別的神，
And nyle ye foryete the couenaunt, which he smoot with you, nether worschipe ye alien goddis;
39 只應敬拜上主你們的天主，他必拯救你們脫離你們一切仇敵的權勢。」
but drede ye youre Lord God, and he schal delyuere you fro the hond of alle youre enemyes.
40 然而，他們不聽，仍然依照他們先前的禮儀而行。
Forsothe thei herden not, but diden bi her formere custom.
41 這樣，這些人民敬拜上主，又事奉他們的雕像；他們的子子孫孫也是如此：祖先怎樣行，子孫也怎樣行，直到今日。
Therfor these hethene men dredden sotheli God; but netheles thei serueden also her idols, for bothe her sones and the sones of sones doen so, til in to present dai, as her fadris diden.
