< 2 Kings 17 >
1 In the twelfth year of Ahaz, the king of Judah: Hoshea, the son of Elah, reigned over Israel, in Samaria, for nine years.
A shekara ta goma sha biyu ta mulkin Ahaz sarkin Yahuda, Hosheya ɗan Ela ya zama sarkin Isra’ila a Samariya, ya kuma yi mulki na shekara tara.
2 And he did evil before the Lord, but not like the kings of Israel who had been before him.
Ya aikata mugunta a gaban Ubangiji, amma ba kamar na sarakunan Isra’ilan da suka riga shi ba.
3 Shalmaneser, the king of the Assyrians, ascended against him. And Hoshea became a servant to him, and he paid him tribute.
Shalmaneser sarkin Assuriya ya kawo wa Hosheya wanda dā abokin tarayyarsa ne, hari har Hosheya ya biya shi haraji.
4 And when the king of the Assyrians discovered that Hoshea, striving to rebel, had sent messengers to Sais, to the king of Egypt, so as not to present the tribute to the king of the Assyrians, as he had been accustomed to do each year, he besieged him. And having been bound, he cast him into prison.
Amma sarkin Assuriya ya gane cewa Hosheya mai cin amana ne, gama ya aika da wakilai wurin So sarkin Masar, ya kuma daina aika wa sarkin Assuriya haraji yadda ya saba yi kowace shekara. Saboda haka Shalmaneser ya kama shi ya sa a kurkuku.
5 And he wandered through the entire land. And ascending to Samaria, he besieged it for three years.
Sarkin Assuriya ya kai wa ƙasar Hosheya gaba ɗaya farmaki, ya kewaye Samariya na tsawon shekara uku.
6 And in the ninth year of Hoshea, the king of the Assyrians captured Samaria, and he carried away Israel to Assyria. And he stationed them in Halah and in Habor, beside the river of Gozan, in the cities of the Medes.
A shekara ta tara ta sarautar Hosheya, sarkin Assuriya ya ci Samariya da yaƙi ya kuma kwashe Isra’ilawa zuwa Assuriya. Ya tsugunar da su a Hala, da a Gozan a bakin Kogin Habor da kuma a garuruwan Medes.
7 For it happened that, when the sons of Israel had sinned against the Lord, their God, who had led them away from the land of Egypt, from the hand of Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, they worshipped strange gods.
Duk wannan ya faru ne saboda Isra’ilawa sun yi wa Ubangiji Allahnsu zunubi, shi wanda ya fitar da su daga Masar daga ƙarƙashin ikon Fir’auna sarkin Masar. Sun yi wa waɗansu alloli sujada
8 And they walked according to the rituals of the nations that the Lord had consumed in the sight of the sons of Israel, and of the kings of Israel. For they had acted similarly.
suka kuma bi gurbin al’umman da Ubangiji ya kora a gabansu, da kuma ayyukan da sarakuna Isra’ila suka gabatar.
9 And the sons of Israel offended the Lord, their God, with deeds that were not upright. And they built for themselves high places in all their cities, from the tower of the watchmen to the fortified city.
Isra’ilawa a ɓoye sun aikata abubuwan da ba daidai ba ga Ubangiji Allahnsu. Tun daga hasumiyoyi har zuwa birane masu katanga, sun gina wa kansu wuraren sujada na tudu a dukan garuruwansu.
10 And they made for themselves statues and sacred groves, on every high hill and under every leafy tree.
Suka kafa keɓaɓɓun duwatsu da kuma ginshiƙan Ashera a kowane tudu mai tsayi da kuma a ƙarƙashin kowane babban itace.
11 And they were burning incense there, upon altars, in the manner of the nations that the Lord had removed from their face. And they did wicked deeds, provoking the Lord.
Suka ƙona turare a kan kowane tudu, kamar dai yadda al’umman da Ubangiji ya kora daga gabansu suka yi. Suka yi muguntan da ya sa Ubangiji ya yi fushi.
12 And they worshipped impurities, concerning which the Lord instructed them that they should not do this word.
Suka bauta wa gumaka, ko da yake Ubangiji ya ce, “Ba za ku yi wannan ba.”
13 And the Lord testified to them, in Israel and in Judah, through the hand of all the prophets and seers, saying: “Return from your wicked ways, and keep my precepts and ceremonies, in accord with the entire law, which I instructed to your fathers, and just as I sent to you by the hand of my servants, the prophets.”
Ubangiji ya yi wa Isra’ila da Yahuda kashedi ta bakin dukan annabawansa da kuma masu duba, cewa, “Ku juyo daga mugayen ayyukanku. Ku yi biyayya da umarnai da farillaina, bisa ga dukan Dokar da na dokaci kakanninku su bi, waɗanda na kuma bayar ta wurin bayina, annabawa.”
14 But they did not listen. Instead, they hardened their necks to be like the neck of their fathers, who were not willing to obey the Lord, their God.
Amma ba su saurare ni ba don sun kangare kamar kakanninsu, waɗanda ba su amince da Ubangiji Allahnsu ba.
15 And they cast aside his ordinances, and the covenant that he formed with their fathers, and the testimonies which he testified to them. And they pursued vanities and acted vainly. And they followed the nations that were all around them, concerning the things which the Lord had commanded them not to do, and which they did.
Suka yi watsi da farillansa da yarjejjeniyar da ya ƙulla da kakanninsu, da kuma kashedin da ya yi musu. Suka bi gumaka marasa amfani, wannan ya sa su ma kansu suka zama marasa amfani. Suka kwaikwayi sauran ƙasashen da suke kewaye da su, ko da yake Ubangiji ya umarce su cewa, “Kada ku yi rayuwa irin tasu,” suka kuwa yi abin da Ubangiji ya hana su.
16 And they abandoned all the precepts of the Lord, their God. And they made for themselves two molten calves and sacred groves. And they adored the entire celestial army. And they served Baal.
Suka wofinta dukan umarnan Ubangiji Allahnsu, suka yi wa kansu gumakan zubi na siffar’yan maruƙa biyu, da kuma ginshiƙin Ashera. Suka rusuna wa rundunan taurari, suka kuma yi wa Ba’al sujada.
17 And they consecrated their sons and their daughters through fire. And they devoted themselves to divinations and soothsaying. And they delivered themselves into the doing of evil before the Lord, so that they provoked him.
Suka miƙa’ya’yansu maza da mata hadaya ta wuta. Suka yi duba, suka yi sihiri suka kuma ba da kansu ga mugunta a gaban Ubangiji; suka sa ya yi fushi.
18 And the Lord became vehemently angry with Israel, and he took them away from his sight. And there remained no one, except the tribe of Judah alone.
Saboda haka Ubangiji ya yi fushi ƙwarai da Isra’ila, ya kuma kawar da su daga gabansa. Kabilar Yahuda kaɗai aka bari,
19 But even Judah did not keep the commandments of the Lord, their God. Instead, they walked in the errors of Israel, which they had wrought.
ko Yahuda ma ba su kiyaye umarnan Ubangiji Allahnsu ba. Sun bi gurbin da Isra’ila ta kawo.
20 And the Lord cast aside all of the offspring of Israel. And he afflicted them, and he delivered them into the hand of despoilers, until he drove them away from his face,
Saboda haka Ubangiji ya wofinta mutanen Isra’ila; ya azabtar da su, ya kuma ba da su a hannun masu kwasar ganima, sai da ya shafe su ƙaƙaf daga gabansa.
21 even from that time when Israel was torn away from the house of David, and they appointed for themselves Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, as king. For Jeroboam separated Israel from the Lord, and he caused them to sin a great sin.
Sa’ad da ya ware Isra’ila daga gidan Dawuda, sai suka naɗa Yerobowam ɗan Nebat sarki a kansu. Yerobowam ya rinjayi Isra’ila daga ƙin Ubangiji, ya sa suka aikata babban zunubi.
22 And the sons of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam, which he had done. And they did not withdraw from these,
Isra’ila suka nace cikin dukan zunuban Yerobowam, ba su kuwa rabu da su ba
23 even when the Lord carried away Israel from his face, just as he had said by the hand of all his servants, the prophets. And Israel was carried away from their land into Assyria, even to this day.
har Ubangiji ya kawar da su daga gabansa, kamar yadda ya gargaɗe su ta bakin bayinsa annabawa. Saboda haka aka kwashi mutanen Isra’ila daga ƙasarsu zuwa bauta a Assuriya, har wa yau kuwa suna can.
24 Then the king of the Assyrians brought some from Babylon, and from Cuthah, and from Avva, and from Hamath, and from Sepharvaim. And he located them in the cities of Samaria, in place of the sons of Israel. And they possessed Samaria, and they lived in its cities.
Sarkin Assuriya ya kawo mutane daga Babilon, Kuta, Afa, Hamat da Sefarfayim ya zaunar da su a garuruwan Samariya don su maya gurbin Isra’ilawa. Suka mallaki Samariya suka kuma zauna a garuruwansu.
25 And when they had begun to live there, they did not fear the Lord. And the Lord sent lions among them, which were killing them.
Sa’ad da suka fara zama a can, ba su bauta wa Ubangiji ba; saboda haka ya aika da zakoki a tsakaninsu suka karkashe waɗansu mutane.
26 And this was reported to the king of the Assyrians, and it was said: “The peoples that you transferred and caused to live in the cities of Samaria, they are ignorant of the ordinances of the God of the land. And so the Lord has sent lions among them. And behold, they have killed them, because they were ignorant of the rituals of the God of the land.”
Sai aka faɗa wa sarkin Assuriya cewa, “Mutanen da ka kwashe ka zaunar a garuruwan Samariya fa ba su san abin da allahn ƙasar yake bukata ba. Saboda haka allahn ƙasar ya tura zakoki a cikinsu, waɗanda suke karkashe su, domin mutanen ba su san abin da yake bukata ba.”
27 Then the king of the Assyrians commanded, saying: “Lead to that place one of the priests, whom you brought as a captive from there. And let him go and live with them. And let him teach them the ordinances of the God of the land.”
Sai sarkin Assuriya ya ba da umarni cewa, “A sami wani daga cikin firistocin da aka kwaso zuwa bauta daga Samariya, yă koma yă zauna a can, yă koya wa mutanen abin da allahn ƙasar yake bukata.”
28 And so, when one of the priests, who had been led away captive from Samaria, had arrived, he lived in Bethel. And he taught them how they should worship the Lord.
Saboda haka ɗaya daga cikin firistocin da aka kawo bauta daga Samariya ya dawo ya zauna a Betel, ya koya musu yadda za su yi sujada ga Ubangiji.
29 And each of the nations made gods of their own, and they placed them in the shrines of the high places, which the Samaritans had made: nation after nation, in their cities in which they were living.
Duk da haka, jama’ar kowace ƙasa, suka ƙera tasu alloli a garuruwa masu yawa inda suke zaune, suka sa su a masujadan da mutanen Samariya suka gina a kan tuddai.
30 So the men of Babylon made Soccoth-benoth; and the men of Cuth made Nergal; and the men of Hamath made Ashima;
Mutane daga Babilon suka ƙera Sukkot Benot, mutane daga Kut suka ƙera Nergal, mutane daga Hamat suka ƙera Ashima;
31 and the Avvites made Nibhaz and Tartak. Then those who were from Sepharvaim burned up their children with fire, for the gods of Sepharvaim: Adram-melech and Anam-melech.
Awwiyawa suka ƙera Nibhaz da Tartak, Sefarfayawa kuwa suka ƙone’ya’yansu a wuta a matsayi hadayu ga Adrammelek da Anammelek allolin Sefarfayim.
32 But nevertheless, they worshipped the Lord. Then they made for themselves, from the least of the people, priests of the high places. And they placed them in the shrines of the high places.
Sun yi wa Ubangiji sujada, amma kuma suka zaɓi mutanensu su yi musu hidima a matsayin firistoci a masujadan da suke kan tuddai.
33 And though they worshipped the Lord, they also served their own gods, according to the custom of the nations from which they had been transferred into Samaria.
Sun yi wa Ubangiji sujada, amma kuma sun bauta wa allolinsu bisa ga al’adun ƙasashen da suka fito.
34 Even to the present day, they follow the ancient customs; they do not fear the Lord, and they do not keep his ceremonies, and judgments, and law, and commandment, which the Lord had instructed to the sons of Jacob, whom he named Israel.
Har yă zuwa yau, sun nace da ayyukansu na dā. Ba sa yin wa Ubangiji sujada, ba sa kuma bin dokoki da farillansa, dokoki da umarnan da Ubangiji ya ba wa zuriyar Yaƙub, wadda ya ba wa suna Isra’ila.
35 And he had struck a covenant with them, and he had commanded them, saying: “You shall not fear foreign gods, and you shall not adore them, and you shall not worship them, and you shall not sacrifice to them.
Da Ubangiji ya ƙulla alkawari da Isra’ilawa, ya dokace su cewa, “Kada ku yi wa waɗansu alloli sujada ko ku durƙusa a gabansu ku bauta musu, ko ku miƙa musu hadaya.
36 But the Lord, your God, who led you away from the land of Egypt, with great strength and with an outstretched arm, him shall you fear, and him shall you adore, and to him shall you sacrifice.
Amma Ubangiji wanda ya fito da ku daga Masar da iko mai girma da hannu mai ƙarfi, shi ne za ku yi masa sujada. Gare shi za ku durƙusa ku kuma miƙa masa hadayu.
37 Also, the ceremonies, and judgments, and law, and commandment, which he wrote for you, you shall keep so that you do them for all days. And you shall not fear strange gods.
Dole kullum ku mai da hankali ga kiyaye ƙa’idodi da farillan, dokoki da umarnan da ya rubuta muku. Kada ku yi wa waɗansu alloli sujada.
38 And the covenant, which he struck with you, you shall not forget; neither shall you worship strange gods.
Kada ku manta da alkawarin da na ƙulla da ku, kada ku yi sujada ga waɗansu alloli.
39 But you shall fear the Lord, your God. And he will rescue you from the hand of all your enemies.”
Maimakon haka, ku yi wa Ubangiji Allahnku sujada; shi ne zai cece ku daga hannun abokan gābanku.”
40 Yet truly, they did not listen to this. Instead, they acted in accord with their earlier custom.
Amma ba su saurara ba, suka nace da ayyukansu na dā.
41 And such were these nations: to some extent fearing the Lord, yet nevertheless also serving their idols. As for their sons and grandsons, just as their fathers acted, so also did they act, even to the present day.
Ko ma yayinda mutanen nan suke yi wa Ubangiji sujada, ba su daina bauta wa gumakansu ba. Har yă zuwa yau,’ya’yansu da jikokinsu sun ci gaba da bin gurbin kakanninsu.
