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.
Uti tolfte årena Ahas, Juda Konungs, vardt Hosea, Ela son, Konung öfver Israel i Samarien, i nio år;
2 He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, though not like the kings of Israel before him.
Och gjorde det ondt var för Herranom, dock icke såsom de Israels Konungar, som för honom voro.
3 Against him came up Shalmaneser, king of Assyria, and Hoshea became his servant and sent him offerings.
Emot honom drog upp Salmanasser, Konungen i Assyrien och Hosea vardt honom undergifven, så att han gaf honom skänker.
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.
Då Konungen i Assyrien fick veta, att Hosea hade ett förbund för händer, och hade sändt båd till So, Konungen i Egypten, och icke utgifva ville årliga skänkerna Konungenom i Assyrien; belade han honom, och kastade honom i fängelse.
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.
Och Konungen i Assyrien drog in i hela landet, och till Samarien, och belade det i tre år.
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.
Och uti nionde årena Hosea vann Konungen i Assyrien Samarien, och förde Israel bort i Assyrien, och satte dem i Halah, och i Habor vid den älfven Gosan, och uti de Meders städer.
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,
Ty då Israels barn syndade emot Herran deras Gud, den dem utur Egypti land fört hade, utu Pharaos hand, Konungens i Egypten, och fruktade andra gudar;
8 Living by the rules of the nations whom the Lord had sent out from before the children of Israel.
Och vandrade efter Hedningarnas seder, hvilka Herren för Israels barn fördrifvit hade, och såsom Israels Konungar gjort hade;
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.
Och skickade sig icke tillbörliga för Herranom sinom Gud; och byggde sig höjder i alla städer, både på slott och i fasta städer;
10 They put up pillars of stone and wood on every high hill and under every green tree:
Och uppreste stodar och lundar på alla backar, och under all grön trä;
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;
Och rökte der på alla höjder, lika såsom Hedningarna, hvilka Herren för dem fördrifvit hade; och bedrefvo slem stycke, dermed de förtörnade Herran;
12 And they made themselves servants of disgusting things, though the Lord had said, You are not to do this.
Och tjente afgudar, om hvilka Herren dem sagt hade: Detta skolen I icke göra.
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.
Och då Herren betygade i Israel och Juda, genom alla Propheter och Siare, och lät säga dem: Vänder om utaf edra onda vägar, och håller min bud och rätter, efter all de lag som jag edra fäder budit hafver, och jag genom mina tjenare Propheterna till eder sändt hafver.
14 And they did not give ear, but became stiff-necked, like their fathers who had no faith in the Lord their God.
Men de lydde intet, utan gjorde sig hårdnackade, såsom ock deras fäder gjort hade, hvilke icke trodde på Herran deras Gud.
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.
Dertill föraktade de hans bud, och hans förbund som han med deras fäder gjort hade, och hans vittnesbörd som han ibland dem gjort hade, och vandrade efter deras fåfängelighet, och vordo fåfängelige såsom Hedningarna, som omkring dem voro, om hvilka Herren dem budit hade, att de icke skulle göra såsom de.
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.
Men de öfvergåfvo all Herrans deras Guds bud, och gjorde sig två gjutna kalfvar, och lundar; och tillbådo allan himmelens här, och tjente 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.
Och läto sina söner och döttrar gå igenom eld, och foro med spådom och trolldom; och gåfvo sig till att göra det ondt var för Herranom, till att förtörna honom.
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.
Så vardt Herren ganska vred på Israel, och kastade dem bort ifrå sitt ansigte; så att intet blef qvart, utan Juda slägt allena.
19 (But even Judah did not keep the orders of the Lord their God, but were guided by the rules which Israel had made.
Dertill höll icke heller Juda Herrans sins Guds bud, utan vandrade efter Israels seder, som de gjort hade.
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.)
Derföre förkastade Herren all Israels säd, och plågade dem; och gaf dem i röfvarehänder, tilldess han kastade dem ifrå sitt ansigte.
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.
Förty Israel vardt söndrad ifrå Davids hus, och hade gjort sig Jerobeam, Nebats son, till Konung. Han vände Israel ifrå Herranom, och gjorde det så, att de svårliga syndade.
22 And the children of Israel went on with all the sins which Jeroboam did; they did not keep themselves from them;
Alltså vandrade Israels barn uti alla Jerobeams synder, som han hade åstadkommit, och icke återvände deraf;
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.
Intilldess Herren kastade Israel ifrå sitt ansigte, såsom han igenom alla sina tjenare Propheterna sagt hade. Så vardt då Israel bortförd utu sitt land in uti Assyrien, allt intill denna dag.
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.
Och Konungen af Assyrien lät komma folk af Babel, af Cutha, af Ava, af Hamath och Sepharvaim, och besatte de städer i Samarien uti Israels barnas stad; och de togo Samarien in, och bodde uti dess städer.
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.
Men som de då begynte att bo der, och fruktade intet Herran, sände Herren lejon ibland dem, som slogo dem ihjäl.
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.
Och de läto säga Konungenom i Assyrien: De Hedningar, som du hafver låtit komma hit, och besatt med de städer i Samarien, veta intet af landsens Guds seder; derföre hafver han sändt lejon ibland dem, och si, de dräpa dem, efter de icke veta utaf landsens Guds seder.
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.
Konungen i Assyrien böd, och sade: Förer dit en af Presterna, som dädan bortförde äro; han fare dit, och bo der; och han läre dem landsens Guds seder.
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.
Så kom en af Presterna, som af Samarien bortförde voro, och satte sig i BethEl, och lärde dem, huru de skulle frukta Herran.
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 hvart och ett folk gjorde sig sin gud, och satte dem uti de höjders hus, som de Samariter gjorde, hvart och ett folk uti sina städer, der de bodde.
30 The men of Babylon made Succoth-benoth, and the men of Cuth made Nergal, and the men of Hamath made Ashima,
De af Babel gjorde SuccothBenoth; de af Cuth gjorde Nergal; de af Hamath gjorde Asima;
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.
De af Ava gjorde Nibhas och Thartak; de af Sepharvaim brände upp sina söner Adrammelech och Anammelech, Sepharvaims gudom.
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.
Och efter de ock fruktade Herran, gjorde de honom Prester på höjderna utaf de ringesta ibland dem, och satte dem i höjdernas hus.
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.
Alltså fruktade de Herran, och tjente likväl af gudomen, efter hvars folkens sed, dädan de förde voro.
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;
Och intill denna dag göra de efter det gamla sättet, att de hvarken frukta Herran, eller göra hans seder och rätter, efter de lag och bud, som Herren Jacobs barn budit hafver, hvilkom han det namnet Israel gaf.
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:
Och gjorde Herren ett förbund med dem, och böd dem, och sade: Frukter inga andra gudar, och tillbeder dem icke, och tjener dem icke, och offrer dem icke;
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:
Utan Herranom, som eder utur Egypti land fört hafver, med stora magt och uträcktom arm, honom frukter, honom tillbeder, och offrer honom;
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.
Och håller de seder, rätter, lag och bud, som han eder hafver skrifva låtit; att I alltid gören derefter, och icke frukten andra gudar;
38 And you are to keep in memory the agreement which I have made with you; and you are to have no other gods.
Och förgäter icke det förbund, som han med eder gjort hafver, att I icke frukten andra gudar;
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.
Utan frukter Herran edar Gud; han varder eder hjelpandes ifrån alla edra fiendar.
40 But they gave no attention, but went on in their old way.
Men desse lydde icke, utan gjorde efter sin förra sed.
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.
Alltså fruktade desse Hedningarna Herran, och tjente likväl sina gudar. Sammalunda gjorde ock deras barn och barnabarn, såsom deras fäder gjort hade, allt intill denna dag.
