2 Kings 17
1 In the twelfth year of Ahaz king of Judah, Hoshea the son of Elah began to reign in Samaria over Israel, for nine years.
No te tekau ma rua o nga tau o Ahata kingi o Hura i kingi ai a Hohea tama a Eraha ki Hamaria, ki a Iharaira, a e iwa nga tau i kingi ai ia.
2 And he did evil in the sight of Jehovah, but not as the kings of Israel that had been before him.
I kino tana mahi ki te titiro a Ihowa; otiia kihai i rite ki ta nga kingi o Iharaira i mua atu i a ia.
3 Against him came up Shalmaneser king of Assyria, and Hoshea became his servant, and tendered him presents.
I whakaekea ia e Haramanehere kingi o Ahiria; a ka riro a Hohea hei pononga mana, ka mau hakari hoki ki a ia.
4 But the king of Assyria found conspiracy in Hoshea; for he had sent messengers to So king of Egypt, and sent up no present to the king of Assyria as [he had done] from year to year. And the king of Assyria shut him up and bound him in prison.
Na ka mau i te kingi o Ahiria e whakatupu he ana a Hohea; i tukua hoki e ia he karere ki a Ho kingi o Ihipa, a kihai i kawe hakari ki te kingi o Ahiria, pera i tana i kawe ai i era atu tau. Na tutakina ana ia e te kingi o Ahiria, hereherea ana ki te whare herehere.
5 And the king of Assyria overran the whole land, and went up against Samaria, and besieged it three years.
Katahi ka whakaekea te whenua katoa e te kingi o Ahiria, haere ana ia ki Hamaria, whakapaea ana, e toru tau.
6 In the ninth year of Hoshea, the king of Assyria took Samaria, and carried Israel away into Assyria, and placed them in Halah and by the Habor, the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes.
I te iwa o nga tau o Hohea ka horo Hamaria i te kingi o Ahiria, a whakahekea atu ana e ia a Iharaira ki Ahiria, a whakanohoia ana ki Haraha, ki Haporo, i te taha o te awa, o Kotana, a ki nga pa o nga Meri.
7 And so it was, because the children of Israel had sinned against Jehovah their God, who had brought them up out of the land of Egypt from under the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and had feared other gods;
I pera ai, mo te hara o nga tama a Iharaira ki a Ihowa, ki to ratou Atua, nana nei ratou i kawe mai i te whenua o Ihipa i raro i te ringa o Parao kingi o Ihipa, mo ratou i wehi i nga atua ke,
8 and they walked in the statutes of the nations that Jehovah had dispossessed from before the children of Israel, and of the kings of Israel, which they had made.
A haere ana i runga i nga tikanga a nga iwi i peia nei e Ihowa i mua i nga tama a Iharaira, a nga kingi hoki o Iharaira i whakakingitia nei e ratou.
9 And the children of Israel did secretly against Jehovah their God things that were not right; and they built them high places in all their cities, from the watchmen's tower to the fortified city.
A mahi puku ana nga tama a Iharaira i nga mea kihai i tika ki ta Ihowa, ki ta to ratou Atua, hanga ana e ratou etahi wahi tiketike ma ratou ki o ratou pa katoa, ki te taumaihi a nga kaitutei, ki te pa whai taiepa.
10 And they set them up columns and Asherahs on every high hill and under every green tree;
Whakaturia ana e ratou he whakapakoko, he Aherimi ki runga ki nga pukepuke tiketike katoa, ki raro hoki i nga rakau kouru nui katoa.
11 and there they burned incense on all the high places, as did the nations that Jehovah had carried away from before them, and they wrought wicked things to provoke Jehovah to anger;
Tahuna ana e ratou he whakakakara ki reira, ki nga wahi tiketike katoa, pera ana me nga iwi i whakahekea atu nei e Ihowa i mua i a ratou; mahia ana e ratou nga mahi kikino katoa hei whakapataritari i a Ihowa:
12 and they served idols, as to which Jehovah had said to them, Ye shall not do this thing.
Mahi ana hoki ratou ki nga whakapakoko i ki ai a Ihowa ki a ratou, Kaua e meatia e koutou tenei mea.
13 And Jehovah testified against Israel and against Judah, by all the prophets, all the seers, saying, Turn from your evil ways, and keep my commandments, my statutes, according to all the law which I commanded your fathers, and which I sent to you through my servants the prophets.
Otiia i whakaaturia e Ihowa te he o Iharaira, o Hura, he mea korero na nga poropiti katoa, na nga matakite katoa; i mea ia, Hoki mai i o koutou ara he, puritia aku whakahau me aku tikanga, kia rite ki te ture katoa i whakahaua e ahau ki o koutou matua, ki taku i unga ai ki a koutou, he mea korero na aku pononga, na nga poropiti.
14 But they would not hear, and hardened their necks, like to the neck of their fathers, who did not believe in Jehovah their God.
Heoi kihai ratou i rongo, engari whakapakeke ana i o ratou kaki, kia pera me nga kaki o o ratou matua, kihai nei i whakapono ki a Ihowa, ki to ratou Atua.
15 And they rejected his statutes, and his covenant which he had made with their fathers, and his testimonies which he had testified unto them; and they followed vanity and became vain, and [went] after the nations that were round about them, concerning whom Jehovah had charged them that they should not do like them.
Whakorekore ana ratou ki ana tikanga, ki tana kawenata hoki i whakaritea e ia ki o ratou matua, ki ana whakaaturanga i whakaaturia e ia ki a ratou; i whai ratou i nga mea tekateka noa, a teka noa iho ratou, arumia ana e ratou nga iwi i tetahi ta ha o ratou, i tetahi taha, era i ako ra a Ihowa ki a ratou, kia kaua e rite te mahi ki ta ratou.
16 And they forsook all the commandments of Jehovah their God, and made them molten images, two calves, and made an Asherah, and worshipped all the host of the heavens, and served Baal;
Na whakarerea ana e ratou nga whakahau katoa a Ihowa, a to ratou Atua, a hanga ana he whakapakoko whakarewa ma ratou, ko nga kuao kau e rua: i hanga ano e ratou he Ahera, a koropiko ana ki te ope katoa o te rangi, mahi ana ki a Paara.
17 and they caused their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire, and used divination and enchantments, and sold themselves to do evil in the sight of Jehovah, to provoke him to anger.
I meinga ano e ratou a ratou tama me a ratou tamahine kia tika na waenganui i te ahi: i tahuri ki nga tohu, ki nga karakia maori: i hoko hoki i a ratou hei mahi i te kino ki te titiro a Ihowa, hei whakapataritari i a ia.
18 Therefore Jehovah was very angry with Israel, and removed them out of his sight: there remained but the tribe of Judah only.
Na reira nui atu te riri o Ihowa ki a Iharaira, a nekehia atu ana ratou e ia i tona aroaro: kihai tetahi i mahue, ko te iwi anake o Hura.
19 Also Judah kept not the commandments of Jehovah their God, but walked in the statutes of Israel which they had made.
Me Hura hoki, kihai ratou i pupuri i nga whakahau a Ihowa, a to ratou Atua, heoi haere ana i runga i nga tikanga i whakatakotoria e Iharaira.
20 And Jehovah rejected all the seed of Israel; and afflicted them, and delivered them into the hand of spoilers, until he had cast them out of his sight.
Na whakakorekore ana a Ihowa ki nga uri katoa o Iharaira, whakawhiua ana ratou e ia, hoatu ana ki nga ringa o nga kaipahua, a maka noatia atu ratou e ia i tona aroaro.
21 For Israel had rent [the kingdom] from the house of David; and they had made Jeroboam the son of Nebat king; and Jeroboam violently turned Israel from following Jehovah, and made them sin a great sin.
I titorehia atu hoki e ia a Iharaira i te whare o Rawiri, a meinga ana e ratou a Ieropoama tama a Nepata hei kingi: na aia ana a Iharaira e Ieropoama, kia kaua e whai i a Ihowa, a nana ratou i hara ai, he nui te hara.
22 And the children of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam which he did; they did not depart from them:
Na haere ana nga tama a Iharaira i nga hara katoa i hara ai a Ieropoama; kihai ratou i mawehe atu i reira.
23 until Jehovah had removed Israel out of his sight, as he had said through all his servants the prophets; and Israel was carried away out of their own land to Assyria, unto this day.
A nekehia atu ra ano a Iharaira e Ihowa i tona aroaro: ko tana hoki tena i ki ai, he mea korero na ana pononga katoa, na nga poropiti. Na ka whakahekea atu a Iharaira i to ratou whenua ki Ahiria a mohoa noa nei.
24 And the king of Assyria brought [people] from Babylon, and from Cuthah, and from Avva, and from Hamath, and from Sepharvaim, and made them dwell in the cities of Samaria instead of the children of Israel; and they possessed Samaria, and dwelt in its cities.
Na ka kawea mai e te kingi o Ahiria he tangata i Papurona, i Kuta, i Awa, i Hamata, i Heparawaima, a whakanohoia ana ki nga pa o Hamaria, ki nga wahi o nga tama a Iharaira. Na kua riro a Hamaria i a ratou, a nohoia ana e ratou nga pa o reira.
25 And so it was, at the beginning of their dwelling there, that they feared not Jehovah; and Jehovah sent lions among them, which killed [some] of them.
Na i te timatanga o to ratou noho i reira, kihai ratou i wehi i a Ihowa. Heoi unga ana e Ihowa he raiona ki a ratou, a whakamatea iho etahi o ratou.
26 And they spoke to the king of Assyria saying, The nations that thou hast removed and made to dwell in the cities of Samaria know not the manner of the god of the land; therefore he has sent lions among them, and behold, they slay them, because they know not the manner of the god of the land.
Na reira ka korero etahi ki te kingi o Ahiria, ka mea, Ko nga iwi i whakahekea ra e koe, i whakanohoia ra ki nga pa o Hamaria, kahore e matau ki nga ritenga a te Atua o te whenua: na reira ka unga e ia he raiona ki a ratou, na ka whakamatea nei ratou, mo ratou kahore e matau ki nga ritenga a te Atua o te whenua.
27 And the king of Assyria commanded saying, Carry thither one of the priests whom ye have brought away from thence; and let them go and abide there, and let him teach them the manner of the god of the land.
Katahi ka whakahau te kingi e Ahiria, ka mea, Mauria ki reira tetahi o nga tohunga i whakahekea mai nei e koutou i reira; a ma ratou e haere ki reira noho ai, mana hoki ratou e whakaako ki nga ritenga a te Atua o te whenua.
28 Then one of the priests whom they had carried away from Samaria came and abode in Bethel, and taught them how they should fear Jehovah.
Katahi ka haere tetahi o nga tohunga i whakahekea atu i Hamaria, a noho ana ki Peteere, a nana ratou i whakaako ki te tikanga mo to ratou wehi i a Ihowa.
29 And every nation made gods of their own, and put them in the houses of the high places that the Samaritans had made, every nation in their cities in which they dwelt.
Otiia i hanga e tenei iwi, e tenei iwi he atua ake mona, a whakanohoia ana ki nga whare o nga wahi tiketike i hanga nei e nga Hamari; e tenei iwi, e tenei iwi ki o ratou pa i noho ai ratou.
30 And the people of Babylon made Succoth-benoth, and the people of Cuth made Nergal, and the people of Hamath made Ashima,
Na ka hangaia e nga tangata o Papurona a Hukoto Penoto; na nga tangata o Kutu i hanga Nerekara; na nga tangata o Hamata i hanga Ahima;
31 and the Avvites made Nibhaz and Tartak, and the Sepharvites burned their children in the fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech the gods of Sepharvaim.
A na nga Awi i hanga Nipihata raua ko Tarataka. I tahuna hoki e nga Heparawaimi a ratou tamariki ki te ahi, hei mea ki a Ataramereke raua ko Anamereke, atua o Heparawaima.
32 So they feared Jehovah, and made to themselves from all classes of them priests of the high places, who offered [sacrifices] for them in the houses of the high places.
Heoi wehi ana ratou i a Ihowa, a whakatohungatia ana e ratou no ratou ano hei tohunga ma ratou mo nga wahi tiketike; a ko era hei kaimahi ma ratou mo nga mea tapu i nga whare o nga wahi tiketike.
33 They feared Jehovah, and served their own gods after the manner of the nations, whence they had been carried away.
I wehi ratou i a Ihowa, me te mahi ano ki o ratou atua: pera ana i nga iwi i whakahekea atu nei ratou i reira.
34 To this day they do after their former customs: they fear not Jehovah, neither do they after their statutes or after their ordinances, nor after the law and commandment that Jehovah commanded the sons of Jacob, whom he named Israel.
Rite tonu ki o mua ritenga a ratou mahi a taea noatia tenei ra; kahore o ratou wehi i a Ihowa, kahore hoki a ratou mahi e rite ki a ratou tikanga, ki a ratou whakaritenga, ki te ture, ki te whakahau ranei i whakahau ai a Ihowa i nga tama a Hakop a, ko tana ingoa nei mona ko Iharaira;
35 And Jehovah had made a covenant with them, and charged them saying, Ye shall not fear other gods, nor bow down yourselves to them, nor serve them, nor sacrifice to them;
I whakarite kawenata nei a Ihowa ki a ratou, i whakahau hoki i a ratou, i mea, Kaua e wehi i nga atua ke, kaua hoki e koropiko ki a ratou, kaua e mahi ki a ratou, kaua hoki e patu whakahere ki a ratou.
36 but Jehovah alone, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt with great power and a stretched-out arm, him shall ye fear, and him shall ye worship, and to him shall ye do sacrifice.
Engari a Ihowa, nana nei koutou i kawe mai i te whenua o Ihipa i runga i te kaha nui, i te ringa maro, ko ia ta koutou e wehi ai, ko ia ta koutou e koropiko ai; me patu whakahere ano ki a ia.
37 And the statutes and the ordinances and the law, and the commandment which he wrote for you, ye shall observe to do for evermore; and ye shall not fear other gods.
Na, ko nga tikanga me nga whakaritenga, ko te ture me te whakahau, kua oti na te tuhituhi e ia mo koutou, me pupuri e koutou, me mahi i nga ra katoa; kaua hoki e wehi i nga atua ke;
38 And ye shall not forget the covenant that I have made with you, neither shall ye fear other gods;
Kaua hoki e wareware ki te kawenata i whakaritea e ahau ki a koutou; kaua hoki e wehi ki nga atua ke;
39 but ye shall fear Jehovah your God, and he shall deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies.
Engari ko Ihowa, ko to koutou Atua, ta koutou e wehi ai, a mana koutou e whakaora i te ringa o o koutou hoariri katoa.
40 And they did not hearken, but did after their former customs.
Otiia kihai ratou i rongo; na rite tonu ki nga ritenga o mua ta ratou i mea ai.
41 And these nations feared Jehovah, and served their graven images, both their children and their children's children: as did their fathers, so do they, unto this day.
Heoi wehi ana aua iwi i a Ihowa, me te mahi ano ki o ratou whakapakoko; i pera ano a ratou tamariki, me nga tamariki a a ratou tamariki, me o ratou matua, a taea noatia tenei ra.
