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 reigned hath Hoshea son of Elah in Samaria, over Israel — nine years,
2 On je činio što je zlo u očima Jahvinim, ali ne kao izraelski kraljevi, njegovi prethodnici.
and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, only, not as the kings of Israel who 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 Asshur, and Hoshea is to him a servant, and doth render to him a present.
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 Asshur findeth in Hoshea a conspiracy, in that he hath sent messengers unto So king of Egypt, and hath not caused a present to go up to the king of Asshur, as year by year, and the king of Asshur restraineth him, and bindeth him in a house of restraint.
5 Asirski kralj osvoji svu zemlju i krenu opsjedati Samariju. Opsjedao ju je tri godine.
And the king of Asshur goeth up into all the land, and he goeth up to Samaria, and layeth siege against 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 hath the king of Asshur captured Samaria, and removeth Israel to Asshur, and causeth them to dwell in Halah, and in Habor, [by] the river 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 cometh to pass, because the sons of Israel have sinned against Jehovah their God — who bringeth them up out of the land of Egypt, from under the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt — and fear other gods,
8 slijedili običaje naroda što ih je Jahve protjerao pred sinovima Izraelovim, živjeli po običajima što su ih uveli kraljevi Izraelovi.
and walk in the statutes of the nations that Jehovah dispossessed from the presence of the sons of Israel, and of the kings of Israel that they made;
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 sons of Israel do covertly things that [are] not right against Jehovah their God, and build for them high places in all their cities, from a tower of the watchers unto the fenced city,
10 Podizali su stupove i ašere na svakom humku i pod svakim zelenim drvetom.
and set up for them standing-pillars and shrines on every high height, and under every green 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 make perfume there in all high places, like the nations that Jehovah removed from their presence, and do evil things to provoke Jehovah,
12 Služili su idolima, premda im Jahve bijaše rekao: “Ne činite toga!”
and serve the idols, of which Jehovah said to them, 'Ye do 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.”
And Jehovah testifieth against Israel, and against Judah, by the hand of every prophet, and every seer, saying, 'Turn back from your evil ways, and keep My commands, My statutes, according to all the law that I commanded your fathers, and that I sent unto 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.
and they have not hearkened, and harden their neck, like the neck of their fathers, who did not remain stedfast in Jehovah 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 reject His statutes and His covenant that He made with their fathers, and His testimonies that He testified against them, and go after the vain thing, and become vain, and after the nations that are round about them, of whom Jehovah commanded them not to 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 forsake all the commands of Jehovah their God, and make to them a molten image — two calves, and make a shrine, and bow themselves to all the host of the heavens, and serve 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 cause their sons and their daughters to pass over through fire, and divine divinations, and use enchantments, and sell themselves to do the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, to provoke Him;
18 Tada se Jahve razgnjevi na Izraela i odbaci ga ispred svoga lica. Ostalo je samo pleme Judino.
That Jehovah sheweth himself very angry against Israel, and turneth them aside from His presence; none hath been left, only the tribe of Judah by itself.
19 Ali ni pleme Judino nije držalo zapovijedi Jahve, Boga svoga, i slijedilo je običaje kojih su se držali Izraelci.
Also Judah hath not kept the commands of Jehovah their God, and they walk in the statutes of Israel that they had made.
20 I Jahve odbaci sav rod Izraela, ponizi ga i predade ga pljačkašima, dok ih konačno ne odbaci daleko od svoga lica.
And Jehovah kicketh against all the seed of Israel, and afflicteth them, and giveth them into the hand of spoilers, till that He hath cast them out of His presence,
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 hath rent Israel from the house of David, and they make Jeroboam son of Nebat king, and Jeroboam driveth Israel from after Jehovah, and hath caused them to sin a great sin,
22 Izraelci su slijedili svaki grijeh koji je Jeroboam počinio i od njega se nisu odvraćali,
and the sons of Israel walk in all the sins of Jeroboam that he did, they have not turned aside therefrom,
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.
till that Jehovah hath turned Israel aside from His presence, as He spake by the hand of all His servants the prophets, and Israel is removed from off its land to Asshur, 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 Asshur bringeth in from Babylon and from Cutha, and from Ava, and from Hamath, and Sepharvaim, and causeth [them] to dwell in the cities of Samaria instead of the sons of Israel, and they possess Samaria, and dwell in its cities;
25 U vrijeme naseljavanja u zemlju nisu štovali Jahve i on je poslao protiv njih lavove da ih rastrgaju.
and it cometh to pass, at the commencement of their dwelling there, they have not feared Jehovah, and Jehovah doth send among them the lions, and they are destroying among 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.”
And they speak to the king of Asshur, saying, 'The nations that thou hast removed, and dost place in the cities of Samaria, have not known the custom of the God of the land, and He sendeth among them the lions, and lo, they are destroying them, as they do not know the custom 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.”
And the king of Asshur commandeth, saying, 'Cause to go thither one of the priests whom ye removed thence, and they go and dwell there, and he doth teach them the custom 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.
And one of the priests whom they removed from Samaria cometh in, and dwelleth in Beth-El, and he is teaching them how they do fear Jehovah,
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.
and they are making each nation its gods, and place [them] in the houses of the high places that the Samaritans have made, each nation in their cities where they are dwelling.
30 Babilonci načiniše Sukot Benota, Kušani Nergala, Hamaćani Ašimu;
And the men of Babylon have made Succoth-Benoth, and the men of Cuth have made Nergal, and the men of Hamath have made Ashima,
31 Avijci načiniše Nibhaza i Tartaka, a Sefarvajimci spaljivahu svoju djecu na ognju u čast Adrameleka i Anameleka, sefarvajimskih bogova.
and the Avites have made Nibhaz and Tartak, and the Sepharvites are burning their sons with fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech, gods of Sepharvim.
32 Oni su štovali i Jahvu i postavili su neke između sebe za svećenike uzvišica koji su im prinosili žrtve u hramovima uzvišica.
And they are fearing Jehovah, and make to themselves from their extremities priests of high places, and they are acting for them in the house of the high places.
33 Štovali su Jahvu i služili su svojim bogovima po običaju onih naroda između kojih su ih preselili.
Jehovah they are fearing, and their gods they are serving, according to the custom of the nations whence they removed them.
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 are doing according to the former customs — they are not fearing Jehovah, and are not doing according to their statutes, and according to their ordinances, and according to the law, and according to the command, that Jehovah commanded the sons of Jacob whose name He made 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.
and Jehovah maketh with them a covenant, and chargeth them, saying, 'Ye do not fear other gods, nor bow yourselves 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 Jehovah who brought you up out of the land of Egypt with great power, and with a stretched-out arm, Him ye do fear, and to Him ye bow yourselves, and to Him ye do 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 judgments, and the law, and the command, that He wrote for you, ye observe to do all the days, and ye do 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 do not forget, and ye do not fear other gods;
39 samo Jahvu, Boga svoga, poštujte i on će vas izbaviti iz ruke svih vaših neprijatelja.”
but Jehovah your God ye do fear, and He doth deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies;'
40 Ali oni nisu poslušali, nego su se i dalje držali svoga starog običaja.
and they have not hearkened, but according to their former custom they are doing,
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.
and these nations are fearing Jehovah, and their graven images they have served, both their sons and their sons' sons; as their fathers did, they are doing unto this day.
