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.
Bara Aahaaz mooticha Yihuudaa keessa waggaa kudha lammaffaatti Hoosheeʼaa ilmi Eelaa Samaariyaa keessatti mootii Israaʼel taʼee waggaa sagal bulche.
2 And he did evil in the sight of Jehovah, but not as the kings of Israel that had been before him.
Innis fuula Waaqayyoo duratti waan hamaa hojjete; garuu akka mootota Israaʼel kanneen isaan dura turan sanaa miti.
3 Against him came up Shalmaneser king of Assyria, and Hoshea became his servant, and tendered him presents.
Shalmaneseer mootichi Asoor Hoosheeʼaa loluuf ol baʼe; Hooseʼaas garboomeefii gibira baaseef.
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.
Mootiin Asoor garuu akka Hoosheeʼaa gantuu taʼe hubate; Hooseʼaa Siigoor mooticha Gibxitti jaarsa araaraa ergatee ergasii akka duraan wagguma waggaan baasaa ture sana mootii Asooriif gibira baasuu dhiise. Kanaafuu Silminaasoor isa qabee mana hidhaa keessa buuse.
5 And the king of Assyria overran the whole land, and went up against Samaria, and besieged it three years.
Ergasiis mootichi Asoor guutummaa biyyattii weerare; Samaariyaattis duulee waggaa sadii marsee ishee qabate.
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.
Bara mootummaa Hoosheeʼaa keessa waggaa saglaffaatti mootiin Asoor Samaariyaa qabatee Israaʼeloota boojiʼee Asooritti geesse. Innis Halaa keessa, Goozaan keessa, cina Laga Haaboorii fi magaalaawwan Midiyaan keessa isaan qubachiise.
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;
Wanni kun hundinuu sababii Israaʼeloonni Waaqayyo Waaqa isaanii isa Gibxii humna Faraʼoon mooticha Gibxi jalaa isaan baase sanatti cubbuu hojjetaniif taʼe; isaan waaqota biraa waaqeffatanii
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.
waan saboonni Waaqayyo isaan duraa ariʼee baase sun hojjetan duukaa buʼanii barteewwan hamaa mootonni Israaʼel fidanii isaan barsiisan illee fudhatan.
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.
Israaʼeloonni dhoksaadhaan waan qajeelaa hin taʼin Waaqayyo Waaqa isaaniitti hojjetan. Isaan magaalaawwan isaanii hunda keessatti gamoo eegumsaatii jalqabanii hamma magaalaawwan dallaa jabaa qabaniitti iddoowwan sagadaa kanneen gaarran irraa ijaarratan.
10 And they set them up columns and Asherahs on every high hill and under every green tree;
Gaarran ol dhedheeroo hunda gubbaattii fi muka lalisaa hunda jalatti fakkiiwwanii fi siidaa Aasheeraa dhaabbatan.
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;
Isaan akkuma saboonni Waaqayyo fuula isaanii duraa ariʼee baase godhan sana iddoowwan sagadaa kanneen gaarran irraa hunda irratti ixaana aarsan. Waan hamaa aariidhaaf Waaqayyoon kakaasu illee ni hojjetan.
12 and they served idols, as to which Jehovah had said to them, Ye shall not do this thing.
Waaqayyos, “Isin waan kana hin hojjetinaa” jedhu illee isaan waaqota tolfamoo waaqeffatan.
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.
Waaqayyo akkana jedhee karaa raajotaatii fi ilaaltota isaa hundaatiin Israaʼelii fi Yihuudaa akeekkachiise; “Karaa keessan hamaa kana irraa deebiʼaa. Akkuma ajajawwan ani abbootii keessan ajaje hundaattii fi akkuma seera ani karaa garboota koo raajotaatiin isiniif erge sanaatti ajajaa fi seera koo eegaa.”
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.
Isaan immoo dhaggeeffachuu didanii akkuma abbootii isaanii kanneen Waaqayyo Waaqa isaanii amanuu didan sanaa mataa jabaatan.
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.
Isaan seeraa fi kakuu inni abbootii isaanii wajjin gale akkasumas akeekkachiisa inni isaaniif kenne illee fudhachuu didan. Isaan waaqota tolfamoo faayidaa hin qabne duukaa buʼanii isaanis faayidaa dhaban. Isaan utuma Waaqayyo, “Waan jarri hojjetan hin hojjetinaa” jedhee isaan ajajuu saboota ollaa isaanii duukaa buʼanii waan Waaqayyo hojjechuu isaan dhowwe ni hojjetan.
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;
Isaan ajaja Waaqayyo Waaqa isaanii hunda dhiisanii waaqota tolfamoo baqfamanii bifa jabbiitiin hojjetaman lamaa fi siidaa Aasheeraa tolfatan. Raayyaawwan samii hundaaf sagadanii Baʼaalin illee waaqeffatan.
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.
Ilmaan isaaniitii fi intallan isaanii aarsaa godhanii ibiddaan guban. Warra waa himu gorsa gaafatan; falfalas hojjetanii fuula Waaqayyoo duratti waan hamaa hojjechuutti dabarsanii of kennanii dheekkamsaaf isa kakaasan.
18 Therefore Jehovah was very angry with Israel, and removed them out of his sight: there remained but the tribe of Judah only.
Kanaafuu Waaqayyo akka malee Israaʼelitti dheekkamee fuula isaa duraa isaan buqqise. Gosa Yihuudaa qofatu hafe;
19 Also Judah kept not the commandments of Jehovah their God, but walked in the statutes of Israel which they had made.
Yihuudaan iyyuu ajaja Waaqayyo Waaqa isaanii hin eegne. Isaanis bartee Israaʼeloonni itti fidan duukaa buʼan;
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.
kanaafuu Waaqayyo saba Israaʼel hunda ni gate; inni isaan miidhee hamma fuula isaa duraa isaan dhabamsiisutti dabarsee harka saamtotaatti isaan kenne.
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.
Gaafa inni mana Daawit irraa Israaʼel baqaqsetti isaan Yerobiʼaam ilma Nebaat sana mootii godhatan. Yerobiʼaamis akka Israaʼeloonni Waaqayyo irraa garagalanii cubbuu guddaa hojjetan godhe.
22 And the children of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam which he did; they did not depart from them:
Israaʼeloonni cubbuu Yerobiʼaam hunda keessa jiraatan malee
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.
hamma Waaqayyo akkuma karaa garboota isaa raajotaatiin akeekkachiise sanatti fuula isaa duraa isaan buqqisutti irraa hin deebine. Kanaafuu sabni Israaʼel biyya isaatii boojuudhaan fudhatamee Asooritti geeffame; hamma harʼaattis achuma jiraata.
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.
Mootiin Asoor biyya Baabilonii, Kuutaadhaa, Awaadhaa, biyya Hamaatii fi Seefarwaayimii namoota fidee iddoo Israaʼelootaa buusuuf jedhee magaalaawwan Samaariyaa keessa qubachiise. Isaanis Samaariyaa fudhatanii magaalaawwan ishee keessa ni jiraatan.
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.
Isaan yeroo achi jiraachuu jalqabanitti Waaqayyoon hin waaqeffanne; kanaafuu inni gidduu isaaniitti leencota erge; leenconnis isaan keessaa namoota muraasa galaafatan.
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.
Mooticha Asoorittis akkana jedhanii himan; “Namoonni ati boojitee magaalaawwan Samaariyaa keessa qubachiifte sun waan Waaqni biyya sanaa fedhu hin beekan. Inni gidduu isaaniitti leencota erge; leenconnis sababii namoonni waan Waaqni sun fedhu hin beekiniif isaan fixan.”
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.
Kana irratti mootiin Asoor, “Luboota boojitanii Samaariyaadhaa fiddan keessaa tokko akka inni deebiʼee achi jiraatee waan Waaqni biyya sanaa fedhu namoota barsiisuuf achi deebisaa” jedhee ajaja kenne.
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.
Kanaafuu luboota Samaariyaadhaa boojiʼaman keessaa tokko Beetʼeel keessa jiraatee akka isaan itti Waaqayyoon waaqeffatan barsiisuu dhufe.
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.
Taʼus tokkoon tokkoon gosaa magaalaa keessa jiraatutti waaqota ofii isaa tolfatee iddoowwan sagadaa kanneen warri Samaariyaa gaarran irratti hojjetanii turan sana irra dhaabe.
30 And the people of Babylon made Succoth-benoth, and the people of Cuth made Nergal, and the people of Hamath made Ashima,
Warri Baabilonii dhufan Waaqa tolfamaa Sukooti Banooti, warri Kuutaadhaa dhufan Waaqa tolfamaa Nergaal, warri Hamaatii dhufan immoo Waaqa tolfamaa Ashiimaa jedhamu ni tolfatan.
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.
Awwiimonni waaqota tolfamoo Nibhaazii fi Tartaaq jedhaman tolfatan; Seefarwaayimoonni immoo waaqota tolfamoo Seefarwaayim kanneen Adramelekii fi Anaamelek jedhamaniif ijoollee isaanii aarsaa godhanii ibiddaan guban.
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.
Isaan Waaqayyoon waaqeffatan; garuu akka isaan iddoowwan sagadaa kanneen gaarran irraatti luboota taʼanii tajaajilaniif ofuma gidduudhaa namoota ni filatan.
33 They feared Jehovah, and served their own gods after the manner of the nations, whence they had been carried away.
Isaan Waaqayyoon waaqeffatan; garuu akkuma bartee saboota keessaa fidaman sanaatti waaqota ofii isaanii tajaajilan.
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.
Isaan hamma harʼaatti illee ittuma cichanii bartee isaanii kan qaraa sana keessa jiraatu. Isaan Waaqayyoon hin waaqeffatan yookaan labsii fi qajeelfama, seeraa fi ajaja Waaqayyo sanyiiwwan Yaaqoob kan Israaʼel jedhee moggaase sanaaf kennes duukaa hin buʼan.
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;
Waaqayyo gaafa Israaʼeloota wajjin kakuu galetti akkana jedhee isaan ajaje: “Isin Waaqa biraa tokko illee hin waaqeffatinaa yookaan hin sagadinaafii; isaan hin tajaajilinaa yookaan aarsaa isaaniif hin dhiʼeessinaa.
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.
Garuu Waaqayyo isin waaqeffachuu qabdan, isa humna jabaa fi irree diriirfameen Gibxii baasee isin fide sanaa dha. Isin isaaf sagaddanii aarsaa dhiʼeessuufii qabdu.
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.
Isin yeroo hunda labsii fi qajeelfama, seeraa fi ajaja inni isinii barreesse sana of eeggannaadhaan eeguu qabdu. Waaqota biraa hin waaqeffatinaa.
38 And ye shall not forget the covenant that I have made with you, neither shall ye fear other gods;
Kakuu ani isin wajjin gale sana hin irraanfatinaa; waaqota biraa hin waaqeffatinaa.
39 but ye shall fear Jehovah your God, and he shall deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies.
Qooda kanaa Waaqayyo Waaqa keessan waaqeffadhaa; kan harka diina keessan hundaa keessaa isin baasu isumaa.”
40 And they did not hearken, but did after their former customs.
Taʼus isaan ittuma cichanii waanuma qaraa sana hojjetan malee isa hin dhageenye.
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.
Yeroo namoonni kunneen Waaqayyoon waaqeffachaa jiranitti illee isaan waaqota tolfamoo isaanii tajaajilaa turan. Hamma guyyaa harʼaatti illee ijoolleen isaaniitii fi ijoolleen ijoollee isaanii ittuma fufanii akkuma abbootiin isaanii hojjetan sana hojjechaa jiru.
