2 Kings 17
1 In the twelfth year of Achaz king of Juda, Osee the son of Ela reigned in Samaria over Israel nine years.
| فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلثَّانِيةَ عَشْرَةَ لِآحَازَ مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، مَلَكَ هُوشَعُ بْنُ أَيْلَةَ فِي ٱلسَّامِرَةِ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ تِسْعَ سِنِينَ. | ١ |
2 And he did evil before the Lord: but not as the kings of Israel that had been before him.
| وَعَمِلَ ٱلشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَلَكِنْ لَيْسَ كَمُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَانُوا قَبْلَهُ. | ٢ |
3 Against him came up Salmanasar king of the Assyrians, and Osee became his servant, and paid him tribute.
| وَصَعِدَ عَلَيْهِ شَلْمَنْأَسَرُ مَلِكُ أَشُّورَ، فَصَارَ لَهُ هُوشَعُ عَبْدًا وَدَفَعَ لَهُ جِزْيَةً. | ٣ |
4 And when the king of the Assyrians found that Osee endeavouring to rebel had sent messengers to Sua the king of Egypt, that he might not pay tribute to the king of the Assyrians, as he had done every year, he besieged him, bound him, and cast him into prison,
| وَوَجَدَ مَلِكُ أَشُّورَ فِي هُوشَعَ خِيَانَةً، لِأَنَّهُ أَرْسَلَ رُسُلًا إِلَى سَوَا مَلِكِ مِصْرَ، وَلَمْ يُؤَدِّ جِزْيَةً إِلَى مَلِكِ أَشُّورَ حَسَبَ كُلِّ سَنَةٍ، فَقَبَضَ عَلَيْهِ مَلِكُ أَشُّورَ وَأَوْثَقَهُ فِي ٱلسِّجْنِ. | ٤ |
5 And he went through all the land: and going up to Samaria, he besieged it three years.
| وَصَعِدَ مَلِكُ أَشُّورَ عَلَى كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَصَعِدَ إِلَى ٱلسَّامِرَةِ وَحَاصَرَهَا ثَلَاثَ سِنِينَ. | ٥ |
6 And in the ninth year of Osee, the king of the Assyrians took Samaria, and carried Israel away to Assyria: and he placed them in Hala and Habor by the river of Gozan, in the cities of the Medes.
| فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلتَّاسِعَةِ لِهُوشَعَ أَخَذَ مَلِكُ أَشُّورَ ٱلسَّامِرَةَ، وَسَبَى إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى أَشُّورَ وَأَسْكَنَهُمْ فِي حَلَحَ وَخَابُورَ نَهْرِ جُوزَانَ وَفِي مُدُنِ مَادِي. | ٦ |
7 For so it was that the children of Israel had sinned against the Lord their God, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, from under the hand of Pharao king of Egypt, and they worshipped strange gods.
| وَكَانَ أَنَّ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ أَخْطَأُوا إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِهِمِ ٱلَّذِي أَصْعَدَهُمْ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ مِنْ تَحْتِ يَدِ فِرْعَوْنَ مَلِكِ مِصْرَ، وَٱتَّقَوْا آلِهَةً أُخْرَى، | ٧ |
8 And they walked according to the way of the nations which the Lord had destroyed in the sight of the children of Israel and of the kings of Israel: because they had done in like manner.
| وَسَلَكُوا حَسَبَ فَرَائِضِ ٱلْأُمَمِ ٱلَّذِينَ طَرَدَهُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ مِنْ أَمَامِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَمُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَقَامُوهُمْ. | ٨ |
9 And the children of Israel offended the Lord their God with things that were not right: and built them high places in all their cities from the tower of the watchmen to the fenced city.
| وَعَمِلَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ سِرًّا ضِدَّ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِهِمْ أُمُورًا لَيْسَتْ بِمُسْتَقِيمَةٍ، وَبَنَوْا لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ مُرْتَفَعَاتٍ فِي جَمِيعِ مُدُنِهِمْ، مِنْ بُرْجِ ٱلنَّوَاطِيرِ إِلَى ٱلْمَدِينَةِ ٱلْمُحَصَّنَةِ. | ٩ |
10 And they made them statues and groves on every high hill, and under every shady tree:
| وَأَقَامُوا لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ أَنْصَابًا وَسَوَارِيَ عَلَى كُلِّ تَلٍّ عَالٍ وَتَحْتَ كُلِّ شَجَرَةٍ خَضْرَاءَ. | ١٠ |
11 And they burnt incense there upon altars after the manner of the nations which the Lord had removed from their face: and they did wicked things, provoking the Lord.
| وَأَوْقَدُوا هُنَاكَ عَلَى جَمِيعِ ٱلْمُرْتَفَعَاتِ مِثْلَ ٱلْأُمَمِ ٱلَّذِينَ سَاقَهُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ مِنْ أَمَامِهِمْ، وَعَمِلُوا أُمُورًا قَبِيحَةً لِإِغَاظَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ. | ١١ |
12 And they worshipped abominations, concerning which the Lord had commanded them that they should not do this thing.
| وَعَبَدُوا ٱلْأَصْنَامَ ٱلَّتِي قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لَهُمْ عَنْهَا: «لَا تَعْمَلُوا هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرَ». | ١٢ |
13 And the Lord testified to them in Israel and in Juda by the hand of all the prophets and seers, saying: Return from your wicked ways, and keep my precepts, and ceremonies, according to all the law which I commanded your fathers: and as I have sent to you in the hand of my servants the prophets.
| وَأَشْهَدَ ٱلرَّبُّ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ وَعَلَى يَهُوذَا عَنْ يَدِ جَمِيعِ ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ وَكُلِّ رَاءٍ قَائِلًا: «ٱرْجِعُوا عَنْ طُرُقِكُمُ ٱلرَّدِيئَةِ وَٱحْفَظُوا وَصَايَايَ، فَرَائِضِي، حَسَبَ كُلِّ ٱلشَّرِيعَةِ ٱلَّتِي أَوْصَيْتُ بِهَا آبَاءَكُمْ، وَٱلَّتِي أَرْسَلْتُهَا إِلَيْكُمْ عَنْ يَدِ عَبِيدِي ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ». | ١٣ |
14 And they hearkened not, but hardened their necks like to the neck of their fathers, who would not obey the Lord their God.
| فَلَمْ يَسْمَعُوا بَلْ صَلَّبُوا أَقْفِيَتَهُمْ كَأَقْفِيَةِ آبَائِهِمِ ٱلَّذِينَ لَمْ يُؤْمِنُوا بِٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِهِمْ. | ١٤ |
15 And they rejected his ordinances and the covenant that he made with their fathers, and the testimonies which he testified against them: and they followed vanities, and acted vainly: and they followed the nations that were round about them, concerning which the Lord had commanded them that they should not do as they did.
| وَرَفَضُوا فَرَائِضَهُ وَعَهْدَهُ ٱلَّذِي قَطَعَهُ مَعَ آبَائِهِمْ وَشَهَادَاتِهِ ٱلَّتِي شَهِدَ بِهَا عَلَيْهِمْ، وَسَارُوا وَرَاءَ ٱلْبَاطِلِ، وَصَارُوا بَاطِلًا وَرَاءَ ٱلْأُمَمِ ٱلَّذِينَ حَوْلَهُمُ، ٱلَّذِينَ أَمَرَهُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ أَنْ لَا يَعْمَلُوا مِثْلَهُمْ. | ١٥ |
16 And they forsook all the precepts of the Lord their God: and made to themselves two molten calves, and groves, and adored all the host of heaven: and they served Baal.
| وَتَرَكُوا جَمِيعَ وَصَايَا ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِهِمْ وَعَمِلُوا لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ مَسْبُوكَاتٍ عِجْلَيْنِ، وَعَمِلُوا سَوَارِيَ، وَسَجَدُوا لِجَمِيعِ جُنْدِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ، وَعَبَدُوا ٱلْبَعْلَ. | ١٦ |
17 And consecrated their sons, and their daughters through fire: and they gave themselves to divinations, and soothsayings: and they delivered themselves up to do evil before the Lord, to provoke him.
| وَعَبَّرُوا بَنِيهِمْ وَبَنَاتِهِمْ فِي ٱلنَّارِ، وَعَرَفُوا عِرَافَةً وَتَفَاءَلُوا، وَبَاعُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ لِعَمَلِ ٱلشَّرِّ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ لِإِغَاظَتِهِ. | ١٧ |
18 And the Lord was very angry with Israel, and removed them from his sight, and there remained only the tribe of Juda.
| فَغَضِبَ ٱلرَّبُّ جِدًّا عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ وَنَحَّاهُمْ مِنْ أَمَامِهِ، وَلَمْ يَبْقَ إِلَّا سِبْطُ يَهُوذَا وَحْدَهُ. | ١٨ |
19 But neither did Juda itself keep the commandments of the Lord their God: but they walked in the errors of Israel, which they had wrought.
| وَيَهُوذَا أَيْضًا لَمْ يَحْفَظُوا وَصَايَا ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِهِمْ، بَلْ سَلَكُوا فِي فَرَائِضِ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلَّتِي عَمِلُوهَا. | ١٩ |
20 And the Lord cast off all the seed of Israel, and afflicted them and delivered them into the hand of spoilers, till he cast them away from his face:
| فَرَذَلَ ٱلرَّبُّ كُلَّ نَسْلِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَأَذَلَّهُمْ وَدَفَعَهُمْ لِيَدِ نَاهِبِينَ حَتَّى طَرَحَهُمْ مِنْ أَمَامِهِ، | ٢٠ |
21 Even from that time, when Israel was rent from the house of David, and made Jeroboam son of Nabat their king: for Jeroboam separated Israel from the Lord, and made them commit a great sin.
| لِأَنَّهُ شَقَّ إِسْرَائِيلَ عَنْ بَيْتِ دَاوُدَ، فَمَلَّكُوا يَرُبْعَامَ بْنَ نَبَاطَ، فَأَبْعَدَ يَرُبْعَامُ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ وَرَاءِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَجَعَلَهُمْ يُخْطِئُونَ خَطِيَّةً عَظِيمَةً. | ٢١ |
22 And the children of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam, which he had done: and they departed not from them,
| وَسَلَكَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي جَمِيعِ خَطَايَا يَرُبْعَامَ ٱلَّتِي عَمِلَ. لَمْ يَحِيدُوا عَنْهَا | ٢٢ |
23 Till the Lord removed Israel from his face, as he had spoken in the hand of all his servants the prophets: and Israel was carried away out of their land to Assyria, unto this day.
| حَتَّى نَحَّى ٱلرَّبُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ أَمَامِهِ كَمَا تَكَلَّمَ عَنْ يَدِ جَمِيعِ عَبِيدِهِ ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ، فَسُبِيَ إِسْرَائِيلُ مِنْ أَرْضِهِ إِلَى أَشُّورَ إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ. | ٢٣ |
24 And the king of the Assyrians brought people from Babylon, and from Cutha, and from Avah, and from Emath, and from Sepharvaim: and placed them in the cities of Samaria instead of the children of Israel: and they possessed Samaria, and dwelt in the cities thereof.
| وَأَتَى مَلِكُ أَشُّورَ بِقَوْمٍ مِنْ بَابِلَ وَكُوثَ وَعَوَّا وَحَمَاةَ وَسَفَرْوَايِمَ، وَأَسْكَنَهُمْ فِي مُدُنِ ٱلسَّامِرَةِ عِوَضًا عَنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَٱمْتَلَكُوا ٱلسَّامِرَةَ وَسَكَنُوا فِي مُدُنِهَا. | ٢٤ |
25 And when they began to dwell there, they feared not the Lord: and the Lord sent lions among them, which killed them.
| وَكَانَ فِي ٱبْتِدَاءِ سَكَنِهِمْ هُنَاكَ أَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَتَّقُوا ٱلرَّبَّ، فَأَرْسَلَ ٱلرَّبُّ عَلَيْهِمِ ٱلسِّبَاعَ فَكَانَتْ تَقْتُلُ مِنْهُمْ. | ٢٥ |
26 And it was told the king of the Assyrians, and it was said: The nations which thou hast removed, and made to dwell in the cities of Samaria, know not the ordinances of the God of the land: and the Lord hath sent lions among them: and behold they kill them, because they know not the manner of the God of the land.
| فَكَلَّمُوا مَلِكَ أَشُّورَ قَائِلِينَ: «إِنَّ ٱلْأُمَمَ ٱلَّذِينَ سَبَيْتَهُمْ وَأَسْكَنْتَهُمْ فِي مُدُنِ ٱلسَّامِرَةِ، لَا يَعْرِفُونَ قَضَاءَ إِلَهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، فَأَرْسَلَ عَلَيْهِمِ ٱلسِّبَاعَ فَهِيَ تَقْتُلُهُمْ لِأَنَّهُمْ لَا يَعْرِفُونَ قَضَاءَ إِلَهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ». | ٢٦ |
27 And the king of the Assyrians commanded, saying: Carry thither one of the priests whom you brought from thence captive, and let him go, and dwell with them: and let him teach them the ordinances of the God of the land.
| فَأَمَرَ مَلِكُ أَشُّورَ قَائِلًا: «ٱبْعَثُوا إِلَى هُنَاكَ وَاحِدًا مِنَ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ ٱلَّذِينَ سَبَيْتُمُوهُمْ مِنْ هُنَاكَ فَيَذْهَبَ وَيَسْكُنَ هُنَاكَ، وَيُعَلِّمَهُمْ قَضَاءَ إِلَهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ». | ٢٧ |
28 So one of the priests who had been carried away captive from Samaria, came and dwelt in Bethel, and taught them how they should worship the Lord.
| فَأَتَى وَاحِدٌ مِنَ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ ٱلَّذِينَ سَبَوْهُمْ مِنَ ٱلسَّامِرَةِ، وَسَكَنَ فِي بَيْتِ إِيلَ وَعَلَّمَهُمْ كَيْفَ يَتَّقُونَ ٱلرَّبَّ. | ٢٨ |
29 And every nation made gods of their own, and put them in the temples of the high places, which the Samaritans had made, every nation in their cities where they dwelt.
| فَكَانَتْ كُلُّ أُمَّةٍ تَعْمَلُ آلِهَتَهَا وَوَضَعُوهَا فِي بُيُوتِ ٱلْمُرْتَفَعَاتِ ٱلَّتِي عَمِلَهَا ٱلسَّامِرِيُّونَ، كُلُّ أُمَّةٍ فِي مُدُنِهَا ٱلَّتِي سَكَنَتْ فِيهَا. | ٢٩ |
30 For the men of Babylon made Sochothbenoth: and the Cuthites made Nergel: and the men of Emath made Asima.
| فَعَمِلَ أَهْلُ بَابِلَ سُكُّوثَ بَنُوثَ، وَأَهْلُ كُوثَ عَمِلُوا نَرْجَلَ، وَأَهْلُ حَمَاةَ عَمِلُوا أَشِيمَا، | ٣٠ |
31 And the Hevites made Nebahaz and Tharthac. And they that were of Sepharvaim burnt their children in fire, to Adramelech and Anamelech the gods of Sepharvaim.
| وَٱلْعُوِّيُّونَ عَمِلُوا نِبْحَزَ وَتَرْتَاقَ، وَٱلسَّفَرْوَايِمِيُّونَ كَانُوا يُحْرِقُونَ بَنِيهِمْ بِٱلنَّارِ لِأَدْرَمَّلَكَ وَعَنَمَّلَكَ إِلَهَيْ سَفَرْوَايِمَ. | ٣١ |
32 And nevertheless they worshipped the Lord. And they made to themselves, of the lowest of the people, priests of the high places, and they placed them in the temples of the high places.
| فَكَانُوا يَتَّقُونَ ٱلرَّبَّ، وَيَعْمَلُونَ لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ مِنْ أَطْرَافِهِمْ كَهَنَةَ مُرْتَفَعَاتٍ، كَانُوا يُقَرِّبُونَ لِأَجْلِهِمْ فِي بُيُوتِ ٱلْمُرْتَفَعَاتِ. | ٣٢ |
33 And when they worshipped the Lord, they served also their own gods according to the custom of the nations out of which they were brought to Samaria:
| كَانُوا يَتَّقُونَ ٱلرَّبَّ وَيَعْبُدُونَ آلِهتَهُمْ كَعَادَةِ ٱلْأُمَمِ ٱلَّذِينَ سَبَوْهُمْ مِنْ بَيْنِهِمْ | ٣٣ |
34 Unto this day they followed the old manner: they fear not the Lord, neither do they keep his ceremonies, and judgments, and law, and the commandment, which the Lord commanded the children of Jacob, whom he surnamed Israel:
| إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ يَعْمَلُونَ كَعَادَاتِهِمِ ٱلْأُوَلِ. لَا يَتَّقُونَ ٱلرَّبَّ وَلَا يَعْمَلُونَ حَسَبَ فَرَائِضِهِمْ وَعَوَائِدِهِمْ وَلَا حَسَبَ ٱلشَّرِيعَةِ وَٱلْوَصِيَّةِ ٱلَّتِي أَمَرَ بِهَا ٱلرَّبُّ بَنِي يَعْقُوبَ، ٱلَّذِي جَعَلَ ٱسْمَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٣٤ |
35 With whom he made a covenant, and charged them, saying: You shall not fear strange gods, nor shall you adore them, nor worship them, nor sacrifice to them.
| وَقَطَعَ ٱلرَّبُّ مَعَهُمْ عَهْدًا وَأَمَرَهُمْ قَائِلًا: «لَا تَتَّقُوا آلِهَةً أُخْرَى، وَلَا تَسْجُدُوا لَهَا وَلَا تَعْبُدُوهَا وَلَا تَذْبَحُوا لَهَا. | ٣٥ |
36 But the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt with great power, and a stretched out arm, him shall you fear, and him shall you adore, and to him shall you sacrifice.
| بَلْ إِنَّمَا ٱتَّقُوا ٱلرَّبَّ ٱلَّذِي أَصْعَدَكُمْ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ بِقُوَّةٍ عَظِيمَةٍ وَذِرَاعٍ مَمْدُودَةٍ، وَلَهُ ٱسْجُدُوا، وَلَهُ ٱذْبَحُوا. | ٣٦ |
37 And the ceremonies, and judgments, and law, and the commandment, which he wrote for you, you shall observe to do them always: and you shall not fear strange gods.
| وَٱحْفَظُوا ٱلْفَرَائِضَ وَٱلْأَحْكَامَ وَٱلشَّرِيعَةَ وَٱلْوَصِيَّةَ ٱلَّتِي كَتَبَهَا لَكُمْ لِتَعْمَلُوا بِهَا كُلَّ ٱلْأَيَّامِ، وَلَا تَتَّقُوا آلِهَةً أُخْرَى. | ٣٧ |
38 And the covenant that he made with you, you shall not forget: neither shall ye worship strange gods,
| وَلَا تَنْسَوْا ٱلْعَهْدَ ٱلَّذِي قَطَعْتُهُ مَعَكُمْ، وَلَا تَتَّقُوا آلِهَةً أُخْرَى. | ٣٨ |
39 But fear the Lord your God, and he shall deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies.
| بَلْ إِنَّمَا ٱتَّقُوا ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ وَهُوَ يُنْقِذُكُمْ مِنْ أَيْدِي جَمِيعِ أَعْدَائِكُمْ». | ٣٩ |
40 But they did not hearken, but did according to their old custom.
| فَلَمْ يَسْمَعُوا بَلْ عَمِلُوا حَسَبَ عَادَتِهِمِ ٱلْأُولَى. | ٤٠ |
41 So these nations feared the Lord, but nevertheless served also their idols: their children also and grandchildren, as their fathers did, so do they unto this day.
| فَكَانَ هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلْأُمَمُ يَتَّقُونَ ٱلرَّبَّ، وَيَعْبُدُونَ تَمَاثِيلَهُمْ، وَأَيْضًا بَنُوهُمْ وَبَنُو بَنِيهِمْ. فَكَمَا عَمِلَ آبَاؤُهُمْ هَكَذَا هُمْ عَامِلُونَ إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ. | ٤١ |
