2 Kings 17
1 In the twelfth year of the reign of Ahaz over Judah, Hoshea son of Elah became king of Israel, and he reigned in Samaria nine years.
In yac se aksingoul luo ke pacl Tokosra Ahaz el leum lun Judah, Hoshea wen natul Elah, el tokosrala lun Israel, ac el leum in Samaria ke yac eu.
2 And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, but not like the kings of Israel who preceded him.
El oru ma koluk lain LEUM GOD, tuh tia arulana yohk oana tokosra su leumi acn Israel meet lukel.
3 Shalmaneser king of Assyria attacked him, and Hoshea became his vassal and paid him tribute.
Tokosra Fulat Shalmaneser lun Assyria el orek mweun lainul, na Hoshea el srasrapo nu sel Shalmaneser ac moli takma nu sel ke yac nukewa.
4 But the king of Assyria discovered that Hoshea had conspired to send envoys to King So of Egypt, and that he had not paid tribute to the king of Assyria as in previous years. Therefore the king of Assyria arrested Hoshea and put him in prison.
Tuh ke sie yac ah Hoshea el supwala mwet nu yorol Tokosra So lun Egypt in siyuk sel elan kasrel, ac el tia moli takma ke yac sac nu sin Assyria. Ke Shalmaneser el lohngak ma inge, el sap in sruhu Hoshea ac sisiyang el nu in presin.
5 Then the king of Assyria invaded the whole land, marched up to Samaria, and besieged it for three years.
Na Shalmaneser el utyak nu fin acn Israel ac kuhlasla acn Samaria. In yac se aktolu ke kuhlusyuki acn we —
6 In the ninth year of Hoshea, the king of Assyria captured Samaria and carried away the Israelites to Assyria, where he settled them in Halah, in Gozan by the Habor River, and in the cities of the Medes.
su pa ke yac akeu ma Hoshea el tokosra — Tokosra Fulat lun acn Assyria el sruokya acn Samaria, ac usla mwet Israel nu Assyria in mwet sruoh. El likiya kutu selos in siti Halah, ac kutu in muta yen apkuran nu ke Infacl Habor in acn Gozan, ac kutu ke siti in acn Media.
7 All this happened because the people of Israel had sinned against the LORD their God, who had brought them out of the land of Egypt from under the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt. They had worshiped other gods
Acn Samaria ikori mweyen mwet Israel elos oru ma koluk lain LEUM GOD lalos, su tuh molelosla liki tokosra lun Egypt, ac kololosla liki acn Egypt. Elos alu nu sin god saya,
8 and walked in the customs of the nations that the LORD had driven out before the Israelites, as well as in the practices introduced by the kings of Israel.
ac fahsr tukun ouiya lun mutunfacl su LEUM GOD El tuh lusla liki acn inge ke mwet lal elos utyak nu we, ac elos moulkin facsin su orekmakinyuk sin tokosra lun Israel.
9 The Israelites secretly did things against the LORD their God that were not right. From watchtower to fortified city, they built high places in all their cities.
Mwet Israel elos oru ma su LEUM GOD lalos El tia insese nu kac. Elos musaela nien alu pus lun mwet pegan in siti lalos nukewa, acn srik nwe ke siti lulap.
10 They set up for themselves sacred pillars and Asherah poles on every high hill and under every green tree.
Elos tulokunak sru eot ac ma sruloala ke god mutan Asherah fin inging nukewa ac ye sak lul nukewa,
11 They burned incense on all the high places like the nations that the LORD had driven out before them. They did wicked things, provoking the LORD to anger.
ac elos akosak mwe keng fin loang nukewa lun mwet pegan, ac etai ouiya lun mutanfahl su LEUM GOD El tuh lusla liki acn inge. Elos akkasrkusrakye LEUM GOD ke orekma koluk lalos nukewa,
12 They served idols, although the LORD had told them, “You shall not do this thing.”
ac elos tia akos ma LEUM GOD El sapkin nu selos, in tia alu nu ke ma sruloala.
13 Yet through all His prophets and seers, the LORD warned Israel and Judah, saying, “Turn from your wicked ways and keep My commandments and statutes, according to the entire Law that I commanded your fathers and delivered to you through My servants the prophets.”
LEUM GOD El tuh supwala mwet utuk kas ac mwet palu lal in sensenkakin mwet Israel ac mwet Judah, ac fahk nu selos, “Sisla ouiya koluk lowos, ac akos ma nga sapkin su oan in Ma Sap ma nga sang nu sin mwet matu lowos somla, ac su nga sot nu suwos ke pusren mwet palu, mwet kulansap luk.”
14 But they would not listen, and they stiffened their necks like their fathers, who did not believe the LORD their God.
Tuh elos tia akos. Elos likkeke oana mwet matu lalos somla su tia lulalfongi ke LEUM GOD lalos.
15 They rejected His statutes and the covenant He had made with their fathers, as well as the decrees He had given them. They pursued worthless idols and themselves became worthless, going after the surrounding nations that the LORD had commanded them not to imitate.
Elos tia lungse akos kas in luti lal nu selos, elos tia karinganang wuleang ma El orala yurin mwet matu somla lalos, ac elos pilesru kas in sensenkakin lal. Elos alu nu ke ma sruoala lusrongten, pwanang elos ekla pac mwet lusrongten. Elos oru ouiya lun mutanfahl ma raunelosla, ac seakos ma sap lun LEUM GOD su fahk mu elos in tia etawelos.
16 They abandoned all the commandments of the LORD their God and made for themselves two cast idols of calves and an Asherah pole. They bowed down to all the host of heaven and served Baal.
Elos kunausla nufon ma sap lun LEUM GOD lalos, ac elos orala ma sruloala osra luo ke luman cow mukul tuh elos in alu nu kac. Elos oayapa orala sie ma sruloala ke god mutan Asherah. Elos alu nu ke itu uh, ac kulansap nu sin god Baal.
17 They sacrificed their sons and daughters in the fire and practiced divination and soothsaying. They devoted themselves to doing evil in the sight of the LORD, provoking Him to anger.
Elos sang wen ac acn natulos in mwe kisa firir nu sin god lun mwet pegan, ac elos suk kasru sin mwet sramsram nu sin inut ac mwet susfa, ac elos sang insialos nufon in oru ma sesuwos ye mutun LEUM GOD, ac arulana akkasrkusrakyal.
18 So the LORD was very angry with Israel, and He removed them from His presence. Only the tribe of Judah remained,
Ke ma inge LEUM GOD El kasrkusrak sin mwet Israel ac luselosla liki ye mutal, ac tokosrai lun Judah mukena lula.
19 and even Judah did not keep the commandments of the LORD their God, but lived according to the customs Israel had introduced.
Tusruktu finne mwet Judah, elos tia pac akos ma sap lun LEUM GOD lalos, ac elos etai facsin ma mwet Israel elos eisla saya.
20 So the LORD rejected all the descendants of Israel. He afflicted them and delivered them into the hands of plunderers, until He had banished them from His presence.
LEUM GOD El ngetla liki mwet nukewa lun Israel ac akkeokyalos, ac eisalosyang nu inpoun mwet lokoalok sulallal, nwe ke El luselosla liki ye mutal.
21 When the LORD had torn Israel away from the house of David, they made Jeroboam son of Nebat king, and Jeroboam led Israel away from following the LORD and caused them to commit a great sin.
Tukun LEUM GOD El srela mwet Israel liki mwet Judah, mwet Israel elos sraklalak Jeroboam wen natul Nebat in tokosra lalos. Jeroboam el oru tuh elos in sisla LEUM GOD, ac el kololosla in oru ma koluk na lulap.
22 The Israelites persisted in all the sins that Jeroboam had committed and did not turn away from them.
Elos fahsr tokol Jeroboam ac nuna oru na kain in ma koluk nukewa ma el tuh oru,
23 Finally, the LORD removed Israel from His presence, as He had declared through all His servants the prophets. So Israel was exiled from their homeland into Assyria, where they are to this day.
nwe ke na LEUM GOD El luselosla liki ye mutal, oana ke El tuh sensenkakinulos sin mwet kulansap lal, mwet palu, mu El ac oru. Ouinge mwet Israel utukla mwet sruoh nu Assyria, yen elos srakna oasr we.
24 Then the king of Assyria brought people from Babylon, Cuthah, Avva, Hamath, and Sepharvaim and settled them in the towns of Samaria to replace the Israelites. They took possession of Samaria and lived in its towns.
Tokosra Fulat lun Assyria el use mwet in siti Babylon, Cuth, Ivvah, Hamath, ac Sepharvaim, ac oakelosi in siti lun acn Samaria, in aolla mwet Israel su som nu in sruoh. Elos utyak nu in siti inge ac oakwuki we.
25 Now when the settlers first lived there, they did not worship the LORD, so He sent lions among them, which killed some of them.
Ke elos tufahna oakwuki in acn inge elos tia alu nu sin LEUM GOD, ouinge El supwala lion pus ac uniya kutu selos.
26 So they spoke to the king of Assyria, saying, “The peoples that you have removed and placed in the cities of Samaria do not know the requirements of the God of the land. Because of this, He has sent lions among them, which are indeed killing them off.”
Fwackyang nu sin Tokosra Fulat lun Assyria lah mwet el likiya in siti lun acn Samaria elos tia etu ma sap lun god lun facl sac, na pa god sac tuh supwala lion ac onelosi.
27 Then the king of Assyria commanded: “Send back one of the priests you carried off from Samaria, and have him go back to live there and teach the requirements of the God of the land.”
Ke ma inge Tokosra Fulat el sapkin: “Supwala sie sin mwet tol ma kut tuh use liki acn we, elan folokla muta we ac luti mwet uh ke ma sap lun god lun facl sac.”
28 Thus one of the priests they had carried away came and lived in Bethel, and he began to teach them how they should worship the LORD.
Ouinge sie mwet tol lun Israel su utuku liki acn Samaria el som ac muta Bethel, yen el luti mwet uh in etu ouiyen alu nu sin LEUM GOD.
29 Nevertheless, the people of each nation continued to make their own gods in the cities where they had settled, and they set them up in the shrines that the people of Samaria had made on the high places.
Tusruktu mwet su muta Samaria inge elos srakna oru ma sruloala lalos, ac likiya in nien alu su mwet Israel tuh musaela. Kais sie u inge orala ma sruloala in siti ma elos muta we:
30 The men of Babylon made Succoth-benoth, the men of Cuth made Nergal, the men of Hamath made Ashima,
mwet Babylon elos orala ma sruloala ke god Succoth Benoth, ac mwet Cuth orala ma sruloala ke Nergal, ac mwet Hamath orala ma sruloala ke Ashima,
31 the Avvites made Nibhaz and Tartak, and the Sepharvites burned their children in the fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech the gods of the Sepharvaim.
ac mwet Ivvah orala ma sruloala ke Nibhaz ac Tartak, ac mwet Sepharvaim elos orek kisa firir ke tulik natulos nu sin god Adrammelech ac Anammelech.
32 So the new residents worshiped the LORD, but they also appointed for themselves priests of all sorts to serve in the shrines of the high places.
Mwet inge elos oayapa alu nu sin LEUM GOD, ac elos sulela inmasrlon mwet lalos oana sie kain in mwet tuh in mwet tol lalos ke nien alu lun mwet pegan, ac in orek kisa kaclos we.
33 They worshiped the LORD, but they also served their own gods according to the customs of the nations from which they had been carried away.
Ouinge elos alu nu sin LEUM GOD, ac elos oayapa alu nu sin god lalos, fal nu ke facsin lun kais sie facl elos tuku we me.
34 To this day they are still practicing their former customs. None of them worship the LORD or observe the statutes, ordinances, laws, and commandments that the LORD gave the descendants of Jacob, whom He named Israel.
Elos srakna oru facsin matu lalos nwe in len inge. Elos tia alu nu sin LEUM GOD, ac elos tia pac akos ma sap ac oakwuk su El tuh sang nu sin fwil natul Jacob, mwet se El sang inel Israel.
35 For the LORD had made a covenant with the Israelites and commanded them, “Do not worship other gods or bow down to them; do not serve them or sacrifice to them.
LEUM GOD El tuh orala sie wulela yorolos, ac sapkin nu selos: “Nik kowos alu nu ke god saya. Nikmet epasr nu selos, ku kulansapwalos, ku orek kisa nu selos.
36 Instead, worship the LORD, who brought you out of the land of Egypt with great power and an outstretched arm. You are to bow down to Him and offer sacrifices to Him.
Kowos in akosyu, LEUM GOD, su uskowosme liki acn Egypt ke ku lulap ac po kulana. Kowos in epasr nu sik ac orek kisa nu sik.
37 And you must always be careful to observe the statutes, ordinances, laws, and commandments He wrote for you. Do not worship other gods.
In pacl nukewa, kowos in akos ma sap ac oakwuk luk ma nga simusla nu suwos. Nik kowos akos kutena god sayuk,
38 Do not forget the covenant I have made with you. Do not worship other gods,
ac nik kowos mulkunla wuleang su nga tuh orala yuruwos.
39 but worship the LORD your God, and He will deliver you from the hands of all your enemies.”
Kowos in akosyu, LEUM GOD lowos, ac nga fah molikowosla liki mwet lokoalok lowos.”
40 But they would not listen, and they persisted in their former customs.
Tusruktu mwet inge tiana porongo ma El fahk, a elos sruokyana facsin matu lalos.
41 So these nations worshiped the LORD but also served their idols, and to this day their children and grandchildren continue to do as their fathers did.
Ouinge mwet ingo elos alu nu sin LEUM GOD, tusruktu elos alu pacna nu ke ma sruloala lalos, ac fwilin tulik natulos elos srak pacna oru oana mwet matu lalos su somla nwe in pacl inge.
