< 2 Kings 17 >
1 In the twelfth year of Ahaz, king of Judah, Hoshea, the son of Elah, became king over Israel in Samaria, ruling for nine years.
Nan douzyèm ane Achaz, wa Juda a, Osée, fis a Éla a te vin wa sou Israël nan Samarie, e li te renye pandan nèf ane.
2 He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, though not like the kings of Israel before him.
Li te fè mal nan zye SENYÈ a, men pa tankou wa Israël ki te avan li yo.
3 Against him came up Shalmaneser, king of Assyria, and Hoshea became his servant and sent him offerings.
Salmanasar, wa Assyrie a, te monte kont li, Osée te devni sèvitè li e te peye li taks obligatwa.
4 But Hoshea's broken faith became clear to the king of Assyria because he had sent representatives to So, king of Egypt, and did not send his offering to the king of Assyria, as he had done year by year: so the king of Assyria had him shut up in prison and put in chains.
Men wa Assyrie a te jwenn konplo nan Osée, ki te konn voye mesaje kote So, wa Égypte la, e li pa t prezante taks a wa Assyrie a jan li te konn fè ane pa ane a. Pou koz sa a, wa Assyrie a te fèmen li nan prizon byen mare.
5 Then the king of Assyria went through all the land and came up to Samaria, shutting it in with his forces for three years.
Epi wa Assyrie te fè envazyon tout peyi a e li te monte Samarie pou te fè syèj li pandan twazan.
6 In the ninth year of Hoshea, the king of Assyria took Samaria, and took Israel away to Assyria, placing them in Halah and in Habor on the river Gozan, and in the towns of the Medes.
Nan nevyèm ane Osée a, wa Assyrie a te kaptire Samarie, li te pote pèp Israël la an egzil nan Assyrie, e li te fè yo rete Chalach avèk Chabor sou rivyè Gozan an ak nan vil a Medi yo.
7 And the wrath of the Lord came on Israel because they had done evil against the Lord their God, who took them out of the land of Egypt from under the yoke of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and had become worshippers of other gods,
Alò, sa te vin rive akoz fis Israël yo te peche kont SENYÈ pa yo a ki te mennen fè yo sòti nan peyi Égypte la anba men Farawon, wa Égypte la. Yo te gen lakrent lòt dye yo,
8 Living by the rules of the nations whom the Lord had sent out from before the children of Israel.
epi yo te mache selon koutim a lòt nasyon yo ke SENYÈ a te chase mete deyò devan fis Israël yo nan movèz abitid ke wa Israël yo te etabli yo.
9 And the children of Israel did secretly against the Lord their God things which were not right, building high places for themselves in all their towns, from the tower of the watchmen to the walled town.
Fis Israël yo te fè bagay an sekrè ki pa t bon kont SENYÈ a, Bondye pa yo a. Anplis, yo te bati pou kont yo wo plas nan tout vil pa yo soti nan fò kay gad yo jis rive nan vil fòtifye yo.
10 They put up pillars of stone and wood on every high hill and under every green tree:
Yo te plase pou kont yo pilye sakre yo avèk poto Astarté yo sou chak ti mòn e anba chak pyebwa vèt,
11 Burning their offerings in all the high places, as those nations did whom the Lord sent away from before them; they did evil things, moving the Lord to wrath;
epi la, yo te brile lansan sou tout wo plas yo jis jan nasyon ke SENYÈ a te pote fè ale an egzil yo te konn fè avan yo. Yo te fè bagay mal ki te pwovoke SENYÈ a.
12 And they made themselves servants of disgusting things, though the Lord had said, You are not to do this.
Yo te sèvi zidòl, selon sila SENYÈ a te di yo: “Ou pa pou fè bagay sa a.”
13 And he gave witness to Israel and Judah, by every prophet and seer, saying, Come back from your evil ways, and do my orders and keep my rules, and be guided by the law which I gave to your fathers and sent to you by my servants the prophets.
Sepandan, SENYÈ a te avèti Israël avèk Juda pa tout pwofèt Li yo ak tout konseye Li. Li te di: “Vire kite move wout sa yo e kenbe kòmandman Mwen yo, règleman Mwen yo, selon tout lalwa a avèk sila Mwen te kòmande zansèt nou yo e ke m te voye bannou pa sèvitè Mwen yo, pwofèt yo.”
14 And they did not give ear, but became stiff-necked, like their fathers who had no faith in the Lord their God.
Sepandan, yo pa t koute, men yo te fè tèt di tankou zansèt pa yo, ki pa t kwè nan SENYÈ a, Bondye pa yo a.
15 And they went against his rules, and the agreement which he made with their fathers, and his laws which he gave them; they gave themselves up to things without sense or value, and became foolish like the nations round them, of whom the Lord had said, Do not as they do.
Yo te rejte règleman pa Li yo avèk akò ke Li te fè avèk zansèt pa yo avèk avètisman sa yo, avèk sila li te avèti yo. Epi yo te swiv foli yo, e yo te vin plen ògèy. Yo te kouri apre nasyon ki te antoure yo, selon sila SENYÈ a te kòmande yo pa fè tankou yo.
16 And turning their backs on all the orders which the Lord had given them, they made for themselves images of metal, and the image of Asherah, worshipping all the stars of heaven and becoming servants to Baal.
Yo te bliye nèt tout kòmandman a SENYÈ a, Bondye pa yo a e yo te fè pou kont yo imaj fonn a ti bèf yo menm, te fè yon Astarté, yo te adore tout lame selès la e yo te sèvi Baal.
17 And they made their sons and their daughters go through the fire, and they made use of secret arts and unnatural powers, and gave themselves up to doing evil in the eyes of the Lord, till he was moved to wrath.
Konsa, yo te fè fis avèk fi pa yo pase nan dife, yo te pratike divinasyon avèk Wanga e yo te vann pwòp tèt yo pou fè mal nan zye SENYÈ a e pwovoke Li.
18 So the Lord was very angry with Israel, and his face was turned away from them: only the tribe of Judah kept its place.
Pou sa, SENYÈ a te byen fache avèk Israël e Li te retire yo devan zye Li. Okenn moun pa t rete sof tribi Juda a.
19 (But even Judah did not keep the orders of the Lord their God, but were guided by the rules which Israel had made.
Anplis, Juda pa t kenbe kòmandman SENYÈ a, Bondye pa yo a, men te mache nan koutim ke Israël te etabli yo.
20 So the Lord would have nothing to do with all the offspring of Israel, and sent trouble on them, and gave them up into the hands of their attackers, till he had sent them away from before his face.)
SENYÈ a te rejte tout desandan a Israël yo. Li te aflije yo e Li te livre yo nan men a piyajè jiskaske Li te jete yo deyò vizaj Li.
21 For Israel was broken off from the family of David, and they made Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, king, who, driving them away from the laws of the Lord, made them do a great sin.
Lè Li te fin chire Israël fè l sòti lakay David la, yo te fè Jéroboam, fis Nebath la, wa. Epi Jéroboam te bourade kondwi Israël pou l pa swiv SENYÈ a e li te fè yo fè yon gwo peche.
22 And the children of Israel went on with all the sins which Jeroboam did; they did not keep themselves from them;
Fis a Israël yo te mache nan tout peche ke Jéroboam te fè yo. Yo pa t kite yo
23 Till the Lord put Israel away from before his face, as he had said by all his servants the prophets. So Israel was taken away from their land to Assyria, to this day.
jiskaske SENYÈ a te retire Israël soti devan vizaj Li, jan Li te pale pa tout sèvitè Li yo, pwofèt yo. Konsa, Israël te pote lwen an egzil soti nan pwòp peyi pa yo pou Assyrie jis rive jou sa a.
24 Then the king of Assyria took men from Babylon and from Cuthah and Avva and Hamath and Sepharvaim, and put them in the towns of Samaria in place of the children of Israel; so they got Samaria for their heritage, living in its towns.
Wa a Assyrie a te mennen moun soti Babylone, Cutha, ak Avva pou Hamath, ak Sepharvaïm, e li te etabli yo nan vil Samarie yo pou ranplase fis Israël yo. Konsa, yo te posede Samarie e yo te viv nan vil pa li yo.
25 Now when first they were living there they did not give worship to the Lord. So the Lord sent lions among them, causing the death of some of them.
Lè yo te kòmanse viv la, yo pa t gen lakrent SENYÈ a. Pou sa, SENYÈ a te voye lyon pami yo ki te touye kèk nan yo.
26 So they said to the king of Assyria, The nations whom you have taken as prisoners and put in the towns of Samaria, have no knowledge of the way of the god of the land: so he has sent lions among them, causing their death, because they have no knowledge of his way.
Akoz sa, yo te pale avèk wa Assyrie. Yo te di li: “Nasyon sa yo ke ou te pote ale an egzil nan lavil Samarie yo pa konnen koutim a dye nan peyi a. Pou sa, li te voye lyon pami yo, e tande byen, yo touye yo akoz yo pa konnen koutim a dye nan peyi a.”
27 Then the king of Assyria gave orders, saying, Send there one of the priests whom you took away, and let him be living there and teaching the people the way of the god of the land.
Alò, wa Assyrie a te fè kòmand e te di: “Mennen la youn nan prèt ke ou te pote an egzil yo e kite li ale viv la. Epi kite li enstwi yo koutim a dye peyi a.”
28 So one of the priests whom they had taken away as a prisoner from Samaria came back, and, living in Beth-el, became their teacher in the worship of the Lord.
Konsa, youn nan prèt ke yo te pote ale an egzil soti Samarie yo te vin viv Béthel, e li te enstwi yo jan yo te dwe gen lakrent SENYÈ a.
29 And every nation made gods for themselves, and put them in the houses of the high places which the Samaritans had made, every nation in the towns where they were living.
Men chak nasyon te toujou fè dye pa li e te mete yo lakay yo sou wo plas ke pèp Samarie a te konn fè yo, chak nasyon nan vil pa yo kote yo te viv la.
30 The men of Babylon made Succoth-benoth, and the men of Cuth made Nergal, and the men of Hamath made Ashima,
Moun Babylone yo te fè Succoth-Benoth, moun Cuth yo te fè Nergal e moun Hamath yo te fè Aschima.
31 The Avvites made Nibhaz and Tartak, and the Sepharvites gave their children to be burned in the fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech, the gods of Sepharvaim.
Moun Avva yo te fè Nibchaz avèk Tharthak; sila nan Sepharvaïm yo te brile pitit pa yo nan dife pou onore Adrammélec avèk Anamélec, dye a Sepharvaïm yo.
32 So they went on worshipping the Lord, and made for themselves, from among all the people, priests for the high places, to make offerings for them in the houses of the high places.
Yo te gen lakrent osi a SENYÈ a, e yo te chwazi pami yo menm prèt a wo plas yo, ki te aji pou yo nan kay wo plas yo.
33 They gave worship to the Lord, but they gave honour to their gods like the nations did from whom they had been taken as prisoners.
Yo te krent SENYÈ a e osi, yo te sèvi dye pa yo selon koutim a nasyon pami sila yo te pote ale an egzil yo.
34 So to this day they go on in their old ways, not worshipping the Lord or keeping his orders or his ways or the law and the rule which the Lord gave to the children of Jacob, to whom he gave the name Israel;
Jis rive jou sa a, yo fè selon ansyen koutim yo: yo pa krent SENYÈ a, ni yo pa swiv règleman pa Li yo ni òdonans, ni lalwa a, ni kòmandman ke SENYÈ a te kòmande fis a Jacob yo, ke li te bay non Israël yo;
35 And the Lord made an agreement with them and gave them orders, saying, You are to have no other gods; you are not to give worship to them or be their servants or make them offerings:
avèk sila SENYÈ a te fè yon akò. Li te kòmande yo e te di: “Nou p ap gen krent lòt dye yo, ni bese nou menm ba devan yo, ni sèvi yo ni fè sakrifis a yo.
36 But the Lord, who took you out of the land of Egypt with his great power and his outstretched arm, he is your God, to whom you are to give worship and make offerings:
Men SENYÈ a, ki te mennen nou monte soti nan peyi Égypte la avèk gran pouvwa e avèk yon bra lonje, a Li menm nou va gen krent. A Li menm, nou va bese ba e a Li menm, nou va fè sakrifis.
37 And the rules and the orders and the law which he put in writing for you, you are to keep and do for ever; you are to have no other gods.
Règleman avèk òdonans avèk lalwa ak kòmandman ke Li te ekri pou nou yo, nou va obsève pou fè yo jis pou tout tan. Nou p ap fè lakrent lòt dye yo.
38 And you are to keep in memory the agreement which I have made with you; and you are to have no other gods.
Akò ke m te fè avèk nou an, nou p ap bliye li, ni nou p ap gen lakrent lòt dye yo.
39 And you are to give worship to the Lord your God; for it is he who will give you salvation from the hands of all who are against you.
Men SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, nou va krent Li. Epi Li va delivre nou soti nan men a tout lènmi pa nou yo.”
40 But they gave no attention, but went on in their old way.
Sepandan, yo pa t tande; men yo te fè selon abitid pa yo.
41 So these nations, worshipping the Lord, still were servants to the images they had made; their children and their children's children did the same; as their fathers did, so do they, to this day.
Pou sa, malgre nasyon sila yo te gen lakrent SENYÈ a, yo osi te sèvi zidòl pa yo. Pitit pa yo tou ak pitit pitit pa yo, jis jan ke zansèt pa yo te konn fè; konsa, yo fè jis rive jodi a.
