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.
V dvanajstem letu Judovega kralja Aháza je v Samariji nad Izraelom začel kraljevati Elájev sin Hošéa [za] devet let.
2 He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, though not like the kings of Israel before him.
Počel je to, kar je bilo zlo v Gospodovih očeh, toda ne kakor Izraelovi kralji, ki so bili pred njim.
3 Against him came up Shalmaneser, king of Assyria, and Hoshea became his servant and sent him offerings.
Zoper njega je prišel gor asirski kralj Salmanasar in Hošéa je postal njegov služabnik in mu izročil darila.
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.
Asirski kralj je pri Hošéu našel zaroto, kajti ta je poslal poslance k egiptovskemu kralju Soju in ni prinesel nobenega darila k asirskemu kralju, kakor je počel leto za letom, zato ga je asirski kralj zaprl in ga zvezal v ječi.
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.
Potem je asirski kralj prišel gor skozi vso deželo, se dvignil do Samarije in jo tri leta oblegal.
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.
V devetem letu kralja Hošéa, je asirski kralj zavzel Samarijo in Izraela odvedel proč v Asirijo ter jih nastanil v Haláhu in Habórju, pri reki Gozán in v mestih Medijcev.
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,
Kajti bilo je tako, da so Izraelovi otroci grešili zoper Gospoda, svojega Boga, ki jih je privedel gor iz egiptovske dežele, izpod roke faraona, egiptovskega kralja in so se bali drugih bogov
8 Living by the rules of the nations whom the Lord had sent out from before the children of Israel.
in hodili po zakonih poganov, ki jih je Gospod pregnal izpred Izraelovih otrok in [po poganskih navadah] Izraelovih kraljev, ki so si jih naredili.
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.
Izraelovi otroci so zoper Gospoda, svojega Boga, naskrivaj počeli te stvari, ki niso bile pravilne in si gradili visoke kraje po vseh svojih mestih, od stražarskega stolpa do utrjenega mesta.
10 They put up pillars of stone and wood on every high hill and under every green tree:
Postavljali so si podobe in ašere na vsakem visokem hribu in pod vsakim zelenim drevesom
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;
in tam zažigali kadilo na vseh visokih krajih, kakor so počeli pogani, ki jih je Gospod odvedel izpred njih in počeli zlobne stvari, da Gospoda izzivajo k jezi,
12 And they made themselves servants of disgusting things, though the Lord had said, You are not to do this.
kajti služili so malikom, o katerih jim je Gospod rekel: »Vi ne boste počeli te stvari.«
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.
Vendar je Gospod pričeval zoper Izraela in zoper Juda po vseh prerokih in po vseh vidcih, rekoč: »Obrnite se od svojih zlobnih poti in se držite mojih zapovedi in mojih zakonov, glede na vso postavo, ki sem jo zapovedal vašim očetom in ki sem jo poslal k vam po mojih služabnikih prerokih.«
14 And they did not give ear, but became stiff-necked, like their fathers who had no faith in the Lord their God.
Vendar niso hoteli poslušati, temveč so otrdili svoje vratove, podobno vratovom svojih očetov, da niso verovali v Gospoda, svojega Boga.
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.
Zavrnili so njegove zakone in njegovo zavezo, ki jo je sklenil z njihovimi očeti in njegova pričevanja, ki jih je pričeval zoper njih. Sledili so ničevosti, postali prazni in odšli za pogani, ki so bili naokoli njih, glede katerih jim je Gospod naročil, da naj ne bi počeli kakor oni.
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.
Zapustili so vse zapovedi Gospoda, svojega Boga in si naredili ulite podobe, celó dve teleti, naredili ašero, oboževali vso vojsko neba in služili Báalu.
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.
Svojim sinovom in svojim hčeram so povzročali, da gredo skozi ogenj in uporabljali so vedeževanje, izrekanje urokov in se prodajali, da počno zlo v Gospodovih očeh, da ga izzivajo do jeze.
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.
Zato je bil Gospod zelo jezen nad Izraelom in jih odstranil iz svojega pogleda. Tam ni ostal nihče razen samo Judov rod.
19 (But even Judah did not keep the orders of the Lord their God, but were guided by the rules which Israel had made.
Tudi Juda se ni držal zapovedi Gospoda, svojega Boga, temveč je hodil po Izraelovih zakonih, ki so jih naredili.
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.)
Gospod je zavrnil vse Izraelovo seme, jih prizadel in jih izročil v roko plenilcev, dokler jih ni pognal izpred svojega pogleda.
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.
Kajti Izraela je odtrgal od Davidove hiše in Nebátovega sina Jerobeáma so postavili za kralja. Jerobeám je Izraela pregnal od sledenja Gospodu in jih primoral, da zagrešijo velik greh.
22 And the children of Israel went on with all the sins which Jeroboam did; they did not keep themselves from them;
Kajti Izraelovi otroci so hodili v vseh Jerobeámovih grehih, ki jih je ta storil; niso se odvrnili od njih,
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.
dokler ni Gospod Izraela odstranil izpred svojega pogleda, kakor je govoril po vseh svojih služabnikih prerokih. Tako je bil Izrael odveden proč iz svoje lastne dežele, v Asirijo, do današnjega dne.
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.
Asirski kralj pa je privedel može iz Babilona, iz Kute, iz Avája, iz Hamáta in iz Sefarvájima ter jih namesto Izraelovih otrok postavil v mesta Samarije. Samarijo so vzeli v last in prebivali v njenih mestih.
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.
Na začetku njihovega prebivanja je bilo tam tako, da se niso bali Gospoda, zato je Gospod mednje poslal leve, ki so usmrtili nekatere izmed njih.
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.
Zato so asirskemu kralju govorili, rekoč: »Narodi, ki si jih odstranil in postavil v samarijska mesta, ne poznajo sodbe Boga dežele, zato je mednje poslal leve in glej, ti jih pobijajo, ker ne poznajo sodbe Boga dežele.«
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.
Potem je asirski kralj zapovedal, rekoč: »Odvedite tja enega izmed duhovnikov, ki ste jih privedli od tam in naj gredo in prebivajo tam in naj jih nauči sodbe Boga dežele.«
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.
Potem je eden izmed duhovnikov, ki so ga odvedli iz Samarije, prišel in prebival v Betelu ter jih učil, kako naj bi se bali Gospoda.
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.
Vendar je vsak narod izdelal svoje lastne bogove in jih postavil v hiše visokih krajev, ki so jih naredili Samarijani, vsak narod v svoja mesta, v katerih so prebivali.
30 The men of Babylon made Succoth-benoth, and the men of Cuth made Nergal, and the men of Hamath made Ashima,
Možje iz Babilona so naredili Sukót Benót, možje iz Kute so naredili Nergála, možje iz Hamáta so naredili Ašimája,
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.
Avéjci so naredili Nibháza in Tartáka, Sefarvéjci pa so svoje otroke v ognju sežigali Adramélehu in Anamélehu, sefarvájimskima bogovoma.
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.
Tako so se bali Gospoda in si postavili najnižje izmed njih za duhovnike visokih krajev, ki so zanje žrtvovali v hišah visokih krajev.
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.
Bali so se Gospoda in služili svojim lastnim bogovom po običaju narodov, od katerih so jih odvedli.
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;
Do tega dne počnejo po prejšnjih navadah. Ne bojijo se Gospoda niti ne delajo po njihovih zakonih ali po njihovih odredbah ali po postavi in zapovedi, ki jo je Gospod zapovedal Jakobovim otrokom, ki jih je imenoval Izrael,
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:
s katerimi je Gospod sklenil zavezo in jim naročil, rekoč: »Vi se ne boste bali drugih bogov, niti se jim ne boste priklanjali, niti jim služili, niti jim žrtvovali,
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:
temveč Gospoda, ki vas je privedel gor iz egiptovske dežele z veliko močjo in z iztegnjenim laktom, njega se boste bali in njega boste oboževali in njemu boste žrtvovali.
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.
Zakone, predpise, odredbe in zapoved, ki vam jo je zapisal, boste obeleževali, da jih izvajate na vékomaj in ne boste se bali drugih bogov.
38 And you are to keep in memory the agreement which I have made with you; and you are to have no other gods.
Zaveze, ki sem jo sklenil z vami, ne boste pozabili niti se ne boste bali drugih bogov.
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.
Temveč se boste bali Gospoda, svojega Boga in on vas bo osvobodil iz roke vseh vaših sovražnikov.«
40 But they gave no attention, but went on in their old way.
Vendar niso prisluhnili, temveč so počeli po svoji prejšnji navadi.
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.
Tako so se ti narodi bali Gospoda in služili svojim rezanim podobam, tako njihovi otroci in otroci njihovih otrok, kakor so počeli njihovi očetje, tako počnejo do današnjega dne.
