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.
anno duodecimo Ahaz regis Iuda regnavit Osee filius Hela in Samaria super Israhel novem annis
2 And he did evil before the Lord: but not as the kings of Israel that had been before him.
fecitque malum coram Domino sed non sicut reges Israhel qui ante eum fuerant
3 Against him came up Salmanasar king of the Assyrians, and Osee became his servant, and paid him tribute.
contra hunc ascendit Salmanassar rex Assyriorum et factus est ei Osee servus reddebatque illi tributa
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,
cumque deprehendisset rex Assyriorum Osee quod rebellare nitens misisset nuntios ad Sua regem Aegypti ne praestaret tributa regi Assyriorum sicut singulis annis solitus erat obsedit eum et vinctum misit in carcerem
5 And he went through all the land: and going up to Samaria, he besieged it three years.
pervagatusque est omnem terram et ascendens Samariam obsedit eam tribus annis
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.
anno autem nono Osee cepit rex Assyriorum Samariam et transtulit Israhel in Assyrios posuitque eos in Ala et in Habor iuxta fluvium Gozan in civitatibus Medorum
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.
factum est enim cum peccassent filii Israhel Domino Deo suo qui eduxerat eos de terra Aegypti de manu Pharaonis regis Aegypti coluerunt deos alienos
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.
et ambulaverunt iuxta ritum gentium quas consumpserat Dominus in conspectu filiorum Israhel et regum Israhel quia similiter fecerant
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.
et operuerunt filii Israhel verbis non rectis Dominum Deum suum et aedificaverunt sibi excelsa in cunctis urbibus suis a turre custodum usque ad civitatem munitam
10 And they made them statues and groves on every high hill, and under every shady tree:
feceruntque sibi statuas et lucos in omni colle sublimi et subter omne lignum nemorosum
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.
et adolebant ibi incensum super aras in more gentium quas transtulerat Dominus a facie eorum feceruntque verba pessima inritantes Dominum
12 And they worshipped abominations, concerning which the Lord had commanded them that they should not do this thing.
et coluerunt inmunditias de quibus praecepit Dominus eis ne facerent verbum hoc
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.
et testificatus est Dominus in Israhel et in Iuda per manum omnium prophetarum et videntum dicens revertimini a viis vestris pessimis et custodite praecepta mea et caerimonias iuxta omnem legem quam praecepi patribus vestris et sicut misi ad vos in manu servorum meorum prophetarum
14 And they hearkened not, but hardened their necks like to the neck of their fathers, who would not obey the Lord their God.
qui non audierunt sed induraverunt cervicem suam iuxta cervicem patrum suorum qui noluerunt oboedire Domino Deo suo
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.
et abiecerunt legitima eius et pactum quod pepigit cum patribus eorum et testificationes quibus contestatus est eos secutique sunt vanitates et vane egerunt et secuti sunt gentes quae erant per circuitum eorum super quibus praeceperat Dominus eis ut non facerent sicut et illae faciebant
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.
et dereliquerunt omnia praecepta Domini Dei sui feceruntque sibi conflatiles duos vitulos et lucos et adoraverunt universam militiam caeli servieruntque Baal
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.
et consecrabant ei filios suos et filias suas per ignem et divinationibus inserviebant et auguriis et tradiderunt se ut facerent malum coram Domino et inritarent eum
18 And the Lord was very angry with Israel, and removed them from his sight, and there remained only the tribe of Juda.
iratusque est Dominus vehementer Israhel et abstulit eos de conspectu suo et non remansit nisi tribus Iuda tantummodo
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.
sed nec ipse Iuda custodivit mandata Domini Dei sui verum ambulavit in erroribus Israhel quos operatus fuerat
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:
proiecitque Dominus omne semen Israhel et adflixit eos et tradidit in manu diripientium donec proiceret eos a facie sua
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.
ex eo iam tempore quo scissus est Israhel a domo David et constituerunt sibi regem Hieroboam filium Nabath separavit enim Hieroboam Israhel a Domino et peccare eos fecit peccatum magnum
22 And the children of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam, which he had done: and they departed not from them,
et ambulaverunt filii Israhel in universis peccatis Hieroboam quae fecerat non recesserunt ab eis
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.
usquequo auferret Dominus Israhel a facie sua sicut locutus fuerat in manu omnium servorum suorum prophetarum translatusque est Israhel de terra sua in Assyrios usque in diem hanc
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.
adduxit autem rex Assyriorum de Babylone et de Chutha et de Haiath et de Emath et de Sepharvaim et conlocavit eos in civitatibus Samariae pro filiis Israhel qui possederunt Samariam et habitaverunt in urbibus eius
25 And when they began to dwell there, they feared not the Lord: and the Lord sent lions among them, which killed them.
cumque ibi habitare coepissent non timebant Dominum et inmisit eis Dominus leones qui interficiebant eos
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.
nuntiatumque est regi Assyriorum et dictum gentes quas transtulisti et habitare fecisti in civitatibus Samariae ignorant legitima Dei terrae et inmisit in eos Dominus leones et ecce interficiunt eos eo quod ignorent ritum Dei terrae
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.
praecepit autem rex Assyriorum dicens ducite illuc unum de sacerdotibus quos inde captivos adduxistis et vadat et habitet cum eis et doceat eos legitima Dei terrae
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.
igitur cum venisset unus de sacerdotibus his qui captivi ducti fuerant de Samaria habitavit in Bethel et docebat eos quomodo colerent Dominum
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.
et unaquaeque gens fabricata est deum suum posueruntque eos in fanis excelsis quae fecerant Samaritae gens et gens in urbibus suis in quibus habitabant
30 For the men of Babylon made Sochothbenoth: and the Cuthites made Nergel: and the men of Emath made Asima.
viri enim babylonii fecerunt Socchothbenoth viri autem chutheni fecerunt Nergel et viri de Emath fecerunt Asima
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.
porro Evei fecerunt Nebaaz et Tharthac hii autem qui erant de Sepharvaim conburebant filios suos igni Adramelech et Anamelech diis Sepharvaim
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.
et nihilominus colebant Dominum fecerunt autem sibi de novissimis sacerdotes excelsorum et ponebant eos in fanis sublimibus
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:
et cum Dominum colerent diis quoque suis serviebant iuxta consuetudinem gentium de quibus translati fuerant Samariam
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:
usque in praesentem diem morem sequuntur antiquum non timent Dominum neque custodiunt caerimonias eius et iudicia et legem et mandatum quod praeceperat Dominus filiis Iacob quem cognominavit Israhel
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.
et percusserat cum eis pactum et mandaverat eis dicens nolite timere deos alienos et non adoretis eos neque colatis et non immoletis eis
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.
sed Dominum Deum vestrum qui eduxit vos de terra Aegypti in fortitudine magna et in brachio extento ipsum timete illum adorate et ipsi immolate
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.
caerimonias quoque et iudicia et legem et mandatum quod scripsit vobis custodite ut faciatis cunctis diebus et non timeatis deos alienos
38 And the covenant that he made with you, you shall not forget: neither shall ye worship strange gods,
et pactum quod percussi vobiscum nolite oblivisci nec colatis deos alienos
39 But fear the Lord your God, and he shall deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies.
sed Dominum Deum vestrum timete et ipse eruet vos de manu omnium inimicorum vestrorum
40 But they did not hearken, but did according to their old custom.
illi vero non audierunt sed iuxta consuetudinem suam pristinam perpetrabant
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.
fuerunt igitur gentes istae timentes quidem Dominum sed nihilominus et idolis suis servientes nam et filii eorum et nepotes sicut fecerunt parentes sui ita faciunt usque in praesentem diem
