2 Kraljevima 17
1 Dvanaeste godine kraljevanja Ahaza u Judeji, postao je Hošea, sin Elin, izraelskim kraljem u Samariji. Kraljevao je devet godina.
In the twelfth year of Ahaz king of Judah began Hoshea the son of Elah to reign in Samaria over Israel, and reigned nine years.
2 On je činio što je zlo u očima Jahvinim, ali ne kao izraelski kraljevi, njegovi prethodnici.
And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, yet not as the kings of Israel that were before him.
3 Asirski kralj Salmanasar pošao je protiv Hošee, koji mu se pokorio i plaćao mu danak.
Against him came up Shalmaneser king of Assyria; and Hoshea became his servant, and brought him presents.
4 Ali je asirski kralj otkrio da mu Hošea sprema zavjeru: još je Hošea poslao poslanike egipatskom kralju Sou i nije platio danaka asirskom kralju kao svake godine. Tada ga asirski kralj baci u tamnicu.
And the king of Assyria found conspiracy in Hoshea; for he had sent messengers to So king of Egypt, and offered no 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 Asirski kralj osvoji svu zemlju i krenu opsjedati Samariju. Opsjedao ju je tri godine.
Then the king of Assyria came up throughout all the land, and went up to Samaria, and besieged it three years.
6 Devete godine Hošeine vladavine zauze asirski kralj Samariju i odvede Izraelce u sužanjstvo u Asiriju. Naselio ih je u Helahu, i na Haboru, rijeci u Gozanu, i u gradovima medijskim.
In the ninth year of Hoshea, the king of Assyria took Samaria, and carried Israel away unto Assyria, and placed them in Halah, and in Habor, on the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes.
7 I tako se dogodilo zato što su Izraelci sagriješili protiv Jahve, Boga svoga, koji ih je izveo iz zemlje egipatske, ispod vlasti faraona, kralja egipatskog. Štovali su druge bogove,
And it was so, because the children of Israel had sinned against the LORD their God, who brought them up out of the land of Egypt from under the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and had feared other gods,
8 slijedili običaje naroda što ih je Jahve protjerao pred sinovima Izraelovim, živjeli po običajima što su ih uveli kraljevi Izraelovi.
and walked in the statutes of the nations, whom the LORD cast out from before the children of Israel, and of the kings of Israel, which they practised;
9 Izraelci i njihovi kraljevi potajno su činili neprikladna djela protiv Jahve, Boga svoga. Podigli su uzvišice u svim svojim naseljima: od stražarskih kula pa do utvrđenih gradova.
and the children of Israel did impute things that were not right unto the LORD their God, and they built them high places in all their cities, from the tower of the watchmen to the fortified city;
10 Podizali su stupove i ašere na svakom humku i pod svakim zelenim drvetom.
and they set them up pillars and Asherim upon every high hill, and under every leafy tree;
11 Ondje su, na svim uzvišicama, palili kad po običaju naroda što ih je Jahve protjerao ispred njih i činili su zla djela te izazivali gnjev Jahvin.
and there they offered in all the high places, as did the nations whom the LORD carried away before them; and wrought wicked things to provoke the LORD;
12 Služili su idolima, premda im Jahve bijaše rekao: “Ne činite toga!”
and they served idols, whereof the LORD had said unto them: 'Ye shall not do this thing';
13 A Jahve opominjaše Izraelce i Judejce preko svih svojih proroka i sviju vidjelaca: “Obratite se od zlog puta svoga”, govorio je, “i pokoravajte se naredbama i zapovijedima mojim prema Zakonu koji sam naložio ocima vašim i prema svemu što sam vam objavio preko slugu svojih - proroka.”
yet the LORD forewarned Israel, and Judah, by the hand of every prophet, and of every seer, saying: 'Turn ye from your evil ways, and keep My commandments and My statutes, according to all the law which I commanded your fathers, and which I sent to you by the hand of My servants the prophets';
14 Ali oni nisu poslušali nego su ostali tvrdovrati kao i njihovi oci, koji nisu vjerovali u Jahvu, Boga svoga.
notwithstanding they would not hear, but hardened their neck, like to the neck of their fathers, who believed not in the LORD their God;
15 Prezreli su njegove zakone i Savez koji je sklopio s njihovim ocima i opomene njegove koje im je upućivao. Težili su za ispraznošću, pa su i sami postali isprazni slijedeći narode oko sebe, premda im je Jahve zapovjedio da ne čine kao oni.
and they rejected His statutes, and His covenant that He made with their fathers, and His testimonies wherewith He testified against them; and they went after things of nought, and became nought, and after the nations that were round about them, concerning whom the LORD had charged them that they should not do like them;
16 Odbacili su sve zapovijedi Jahve, Boga svoga, i načinili su sebi salivene idole, dva teleta. Podigli su ašere, klanjali se svoj vojsci nebeskoj i služili Baalu.
and they forsook all the commandments of the LORD their God, and made them molten images, even two calves, and made an Asherah, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served Baal;
17 Provodili su svoje sinove i kćeri kroz oganj, odavali se vračanju i gatanju, čineći tako zlo u očima Jahvinim i razjarujući ga.
and they caused their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire, and used divination and enchantments, and gave themselves over to do that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke Him;
18 Tada se Jahve razgnjevi na Izraela i odbaci ga ispred svoga lica. Ostalo je samo pleme Judino.
that the LORD was very angry with Israel, and removed them out of His sight; there was none left but the tribe of Judah only.
19 Ali ni pleme Judino nije držalo zapovijedi Jahve, Boga svoga, i slijedilo je običaje kojih su se držali Izraelci.
Also Judah kept not the commandments of the LORD their God, but walked in the statutes of Israel which they practised.
20 I Jahve odbaci sav rod Izraela, ponizi ga i predade ga pljačkašima, dok ih konačno ne odbaci daleko od svoga lica.
And the LORD rejected all the seed of Israel, and afflicted them, and delivered them into the hand of spoilers, until He had cast them out of His sight.
21 On je, konačno, otrgnuo Izraelce od kuće Davidove, a Izrael je proglasio kraljem Jeroboama, sina Nebatova. Jeroboam je odvratio Izraela od Jahve i naveo ih na veliku grehotu.
For He rent Israel from the house of David; and they made Jeroboam the son of Nebat king; and Jeroboam drew Israel away from following the LORD, and made them sin a great sin.
22 Izraelci su slijedili svaki grijeh koji je Jeroboam počinio i od njega se nisu odvraćali,
And the children of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam which he did; they departed not from them;
23 dok konačno Jahve nije odbacio Izraela ispred svoga lica, kako to bijaše objavio po svojim slugama, prorocima. Odveo je Izraelce iz njihove zemlje u sužanjstvo u Asiriju, gdje su do današnjega dana.
until the LORD removed Israel out of His sight, as He spoke by the hand of all His servants the prophets. So Israel was carried away out of their own land to Assyria, unto this day.
24 Asirski je kralj doveo ljude iz Babilona, iz Kute, iz Ave, Hamata i iz Sefarvajima, i naselio ih u gradovima Samarije mjesto Izraelaca. Oni su zaposjeli Samariju i nastanili se u gradovima njezinim.
And the king of Assyria brought men from Babylon, and from Cuthah, and from Avva, and from Hamath and Sepharvaim, and placed them in the cities of Samaria instead of the children of Israel; and they possessed Samaria, and dwelt in the cities thereof.
25 U vrijeme naseljavanja u zemlju nisu štovali Jahve i on je poslao protiv njih lavove da ih rastrgaju.
And so it was, at the beginning of their dwelling there, that they feared not the LORD; therefore the LORD sent lions among them, which killed some of them.
26 Zato su rekli asirskom kralju: “Narodi koje si preselio da ih nastaniš u gradovima Samarije ne znaju kako valja štovati Boga ove zemlje i on je na njih poslao lavove, koji ih usmrćuju, jer ti narodi ne poznaju bogoštovlja ove zemlje.”
Wherefore they spoke to the king of Assyria, saying: 'The nations which thou hast carried away, and placed in the cities of Samaria, know not the manner of the God of the land; therefore He hath sent lions among them, and, behold, they slay them, because they know not the manner of the God of the land.'
27 Tada je asirski kralj izdao ovu zapovijed: “Neka ide onamo jedan od svećenika koje sam odande doveo u sužanjstvo; neka ide, neka se ondje nastani i pouči ih u štovanju Boga one zemlje.”
Then the king of Assyria commanded, saying: 'Carry thither one of the priests whom ye brought from thence; and let them go and dwell there, and let him teach them the manner of the God of the land.'
28 Tako ode jedan od svećenika koji su bili odvedeni iz Samarije i nastani se u Betelu. On ih je poučio kako treba štovati Jahvu.
So one of the priests whom they had carried away from Samaria came and dwelt in Beth-el, and taught them how they should fear the LORD.
29 Svaki je narod imao likove svojih bogova i postavili su ih u hramove na uzvišicama koje su podigli Samarijanci, svaki narod u svojim gradovima u kojima življaše.
Howbeit every nation made gods of their own, and put them in the houses of the high places which the Samaritans had made, every nation in their cities wherein they dwelt.
30 Babilonci načiniše Sukot Benota, Kušani Nergala, Hamaćani Ašimu;
And the men of Babylon made Succoth-benoth, and the men of Cuth made Nergal, and the men of Hamath made Ashima,
31 Avijci načiniše Nibhaza i Tartaka, a Sefarvajimci spaljivahu svoju djecu na ognju u čast Adrameleka i Anameleka, sefarvajimskih bogova.
and the Avvites made Nibhaz and Tartak, and the Sepharvites burnt their children in the fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech, the gods of Sepharvaim.
32 Oni su štovali i Jahvu i postavili su neke između sebe za svećenike uzvišica koji su im prinosili žrtve u hramovima uzvišica.
So they feared the LORD, and made unto them from among themselves priests of the high places, who sacrificed for them in the houses of the high places.
33 Štovali su Jahvu i služili su svojim bogovima po običaju onih naroda između kojih su ih preselili.
They feared the LORD, and served their own gods, after the manner of the nations from among whom they had been carried away.
34 Oni se još i danas drže starih običaja. Ne štuju Jahve i ne usklađuju svojih pravila i običaja sa Zakonom i zapovijedima što ih je Jahve naredio djeci Jakova komu je nadjenuo ime Izrael.
Unto this day they do after the former manners: they fear not the LORD, neither do they after their statutes, or after their ordinances, or after the law or after the commandment which the LORD commanded the children of Jacob, whom He named Israel;
35 Jahve bijaše s njima sklopio Savez i zapovjedio im: “Ne štujte tuđih bogova niti im se klanjajte. Nemojte ih štovati niti im žrtava prinositi.
with whom the LORD had made a covenant, and charged them, saying: 'Ye shall not fear other gods, nor bow down to them, nor serve them, nor sacrifice to them;
36 Samo je Jahve onaj koji vas je velikom snagom svoje ispružene ruke izveo iz zemlje egipatske; njega štujte, njemu se klanjajte i njemu žrtve prinosite.
but the LORD, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt with great power and with an outstretched arm, Him shall ye fear, and Him shall ye worship, and to Him shall ye sacrifice;
37 Držite se pravila i običaja, zakona i naredaba koje vam je propisao da ih vjerno ispunjavate uvijek i ne štujte tuđih bogova.
and the statutes and the ordinances, and the law and the commandment, which He wrote for you, ye shall observe to do for evermore; and ye shall not fear other gods;
38 Nemojte zaboraviti Saveza koji sam sklopio s vama i nemojte štovati drugih bogova,
and the covenant that I have made with you ye shall not forget; neither shall ye fear other gods;
39 samo Jahvu, Boga svoga, poštujte i on će vas izbaviti iz ruke svih vaših neprijatelja.”
but the LORD your God shall ye fear; and He will deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies.'
40 Ali oni nisu poslušali, nego su se i dalje držali svoga starog običaja.
Howbeit they did not hearken, but they did after their former manner.
41 Tako su ti narodi štovali Jahvu, a služili su i svojim idolima. Njihovi sinovi i sinovi njihovih sinova čine do dana današnjega onako kako su činili njihovi oci.
So these nations feared the LORD, and served their graven images; their children likewise, and their children's children, as did their fathers, so do they unto this day.
