2 Kings 17
1 In the twelfth year of Achaz the king of Judah became Hoshea' the son of Elah king in Samaria over Israel, [for] nine years.
I det tolvte styringsåret åt Ahaz, kongen i Juda, vart Hosea Elason konge yver Israel, og han rådde i ni år.
2 And he did what is evil in the eyes of the Lord, but not like the kings of Israel that were before him.
Han gjorde det som vondt var i Herrens augo, då ikkje so ille som Israels-kongarne fyre honom.
3 Against him came up Shalmanesser, the king of Assyria; and Hoshea' became his servant, and rendered him tribute.
Mot honom drog assyrarkongen Salmanassar upp. Hosea vart lydkonge under honom og laut leggja skatt åt honom.
4 And the king of Assyria discovered a conspiracy on Hoshea'; for he had sent messengers to So the king of Egypt, and had raised no tribute for the king of Assyria, as [before] year by year; and the king of Assyria made him prisoner, and shut him up in a prison-house.
Men då assyrarkongen vart vis med at Hosea for med svik, med di han sende bod til egyptarkongen So, og slutta greida ut den årvisse skatten til assyrarkongen, tok assyrarkongen honom til fange og kasta honom i fengsel.
5 And the king of Assyria came up over all the land, and went up to Samaria, and besieged it three years.
Og assyrarkongen drog upp mot heile landet, og drog upp og kringsette Samaria i tri år.
6 In the ninth year of Hoshea' did the king of Assyria capture Samaria, and he led Israel away as exiles into Assyria, and settled them in Chalach and in Chabor by the river of Gozan, and in the cities of Media.
I niande styringsåret åt Hosea tok han Samaria og førde Israel burt til Assyria og busette deim i Halah, ved Gozanåi Habor, og i byarne i Media.
7 This took place, because the children of Israel had sinned against the Lord their God, who had brought them up out of the land of Egypt, from under the hand of Pharaoh the king of Egypt, and had feared other gods,
Soleis gjekk det, av di Israels-borni synda mot Herren, sin Gud, han som hadde ført deim upp frå Egyptarlandet og fria deim ut or handi åt Farao, egyptarkongen; dei ottast andre gudar,
8 And had walked in the customs of the nations whom the Lord had driven out from before the children of Israel, and in those of the kings of Israel, which they had made.
og for etter sed og skikk hjå dei folki Herren hadde drive ut for Israels-borni, og etter dei skikkarne som Israels-kongarne hadde skipa.
9 And [because] the children of Israel had secretly done things that are not right against the Lord their God, and had built themselves high-places in all their cities, from the tower of the watchmen up to fortified cities;
Ja, Israels-borni gjorde mangt uhøvelegt mot Herren, sin Gud; dei bygde seg offerhaugar i alle byarne sine, frå det minste vakttårn til fastaste borgi;
10 And had set themselves up statues and groves on every high hill, and under every green tree;
dei reiste upp minnesteinar og Astarte-stolpar på kvar ein høg haug og under kvart grønt tre.
11 And had burnt there incense on all the high-places, like the nations that the Lord had led away exiles before them; and wrought wicked things to provoke the Lord to anger;
På alle haugarne brende dei røykjelse, liksom dei folki Herren hadde drive burt for deim, og dei harma Herren med si illferd.
12 And had served the idols, whereof the Lord had said unto them, Ye shall not do this thing.
Dei tente steingudarne, det som Herren hadde sagt dei ikkje måtte gjera.
13 The Lord had indeed warned Israel and Judah, by means of all the prophets, all the seers, saying, Turn ye back from your evil ways, and keep my commandments [and] my statutes, in accordance with all the law which I commanded your fathers, and which I have sent to you by means of my servants the prophets.
Herren vara både Israel og Juda ved alle profetarne og sjåarane sine: «Vend um frå dei vonde vegarne dykkar og haldt mine bod og mine fyreskrifter etter heile den lovi som eg baud federne dykkar, og som eg sende til dykk ved tenarane mine, profetarne!»
14 But they would not hear, and hardened their neck, like the neck of their fathers, who had not believed in the Lord their God;
Men dei lydde ikkje. Dei var likso hardnakka som federne sine, som ikkje trudde på Herren, sin Gud.
15 And they despised his statutes, and his covenant which he had made with their fathers, and his testimonies which he had entrusted to them; and they followed after what is vanity, and became vain, and followed after the nations that were round about them, concerning whom the Lord had charged them, not to do like them.
Dei vanda lovarne hans, brydde seg ikkje um den pakti han hadde skipa med federne deira, og dei fyresegnerne han hadde gjeve deim. Dei gjekk etter fåfengde avgudar og for med det som fåfengt er, liksom grannefolki, endå Herren hadde bode deim at dei skulde ikkje fara soleis åt.
16 And they forsook all the commandments of the Lord their God, and made themselves molten images, two calves, and made a grove, and bowed down to all the host of the heavens, and served Ba'al;
Dei vende seg frå alle bodi som Herren, deira Gud, hadde gjeve, og laga seg støypte gudebilæte, tvo kalvar. Dei laga Astarte-stolpar, dei bøygde kne for himmelheren og tente Ba’al.
17 And they caused their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire, and used divinations and enchantments, and sold themselves to do what is evil in the eyes of the Lord, to provoke him to anger.
Attåt dette vigde dei sønerne og døtterne sine i elden, og for med spådomskunster og trollkunster. Dei selde seg til å gjera det som vondt var i Herrens augo, so dei harma honom.
18 Therefore became the Lord very angry with Israel, and he removed them from his presence: there was none left but the tribe of Judah alone.
Difor vart Herren ovleg harm på Israel og støytte deim frå seg. Det vart inkje att einast Juda-ætti.
19 Also Judah kept not the commandments of the Lord their God, but walked in the customs of Israel which they had made.
Ikkje heller Juda heldt Herrens, sin Guds bod, men for etter Israels skikkar, som dei hadde skipa seg.
20 Therefore did the Lord reject all the seed of Israel, and he afflicted them, and gave them up into the hand of spoilers, until that he had cast them out of his presence.
Då støytte Herren frå seg heile Israels-ætti, og tukta deim og gav deim i henderne på røvarar, til dess han kasta deim burt frå si åsyn.
21 For Israel had torn themselves from the house of David, and they made Jerobo'am the son of Nebat king: and Jerobo'am misled Israel from following the Lord, and caused them to commit a great sin;
Han hadde rive Israel laus frå Davids hus; dei tok Jerobeam Nebatsson til konge; og Jeroboam fekk Israel til å falle frå Herren og forførde deim til stor synd;
22 And the children of Israel walked in all the sins of Jerobo'am which he did; they departed not therefrom.
og israelitarne dreiv på med alle dei synderne Jerobeam gjorde; dei gav deim ikkje upp.
23 Until that the Lord removed Israel out of his presence, as he had spoken by means of all his servants the prophets; and Israel was led away as exiles out of their own land to Assyria even until this day.
På resten støytte Herren Israel frå seg, som han hadde sagt ved alle tenarane sine, profetarne. Israel laut fara burt frå landet sitt til Assyria. Der er dei den dag i dag.
24 And the king of Assyria brought [men] from Babylon, and from Cuthah, and from 'Avva, and from Chamath, and from Sepharvayim, and settled them in the cities of Samaria in the room of the children of Israel: and they took possession of Samaria, and dwelt in its cities.
Assyrarkongen flutte folk frå Babel og Kuta og Avva og Hamat og Sefarvajim, og busette deim i Samaria-byarne i staden for Israels-borni. Dei tok då Samaria i eige og sette bu i byarne der.
25 And it happened at the beginning of their dwelling there, that they feared not the Lord; wherefore the Lord sent among them lions, which slew some of them.
Og det hende seg, at i fyrstningi dei budde der, hadde dei ingen age for Herren. Herren sende då løvor som herja millom deim.
26 And they said to the king of Assyria, as followeth, The nations that thou hast led away, and settled in the cities of Samaria, know not the manner of the God of the land; wherefore he hath sent among them lions, and, behold, they are slaying them, since they know not the manner of the God of the land.
Det vart meldt åt assyrarkongen: «Dei folki som du flutte burt og busette i Samaria-byarne, dei kjenner ikkje rette måten å dyrka landsens gud; difor hev han sendt løvor millom deim; og dei drep folket ned, av di dei ikkje kjenner rette måten å dyrka landsens gud.»
27 Then commanded the king of Assyria, saying, Carry thither one of the priests whom ye led away from there; and let them go and dwell there, and let him teach them the manner of the God of the land.
Assyrarkongen gav då det bodet: «Lat ein av dei burtførde prestarne fara dit heim att og busetja seg der og læra folket å dyrka landsens gud på rette måten!»
28 And there came one of the priests whom they had led away as exiles from Samaria, and dwelt in Beth-el; and he taught them how they should fear the Lord.
Ein av prestarne som var burtførde frå Samaria, kom då og sette bu i Betel. Han lærde deim korleis dei skulde ottast Herren.
29 Yet they made, every nation, their own gods; and they put them in the houses of the high-places which the Samaritans had made, every nation in their cities wherein they dwelt.
Det var nok so at kvart folk laga seg sin gud og sette upp på haugarne i dei husi som Samaria-folki hadde bygt, kvart folk i sin by, der dei hadde busett seg;
30 And the men of Babylon made Succoth-benoth, and the men of Cuth made Neregal, and the men of Chamath made Ashima.
folk frå Babel laga seg ein Sukkot-Benot, folk frå Kut ein Nergal, folk frå Hamat ein Asima,
31 And the 'Avvites made Nibchaz and Tharthak, and the Sepharvites burnt their children in fire to 'Adrammelech and 'Anammelech, the gods of Sepharvayim.
avvitarne laga seg ein Nibhaz og ein Tartak, og sefarvitarne brende borni sine i eld for Adrammelek og Anammelek, Sefarvajim-gudarne.
32 And they feared [also] the Lord; and they made unto themselves of the lowest of them priests of the high-places, and these sacrificed for them in the houses of the high-places.
Men dei bar og age for Herren. Dei valde seg ut offerhaug-prestar kvar or sin flokk, og dei ofra for deim i husi på haugarne.
33 The Lord did they fear, and their own gods did they serve, after the manner of the nations whence they had been led away.
Dei bar age for Herren; men dei tente samstundes sine eigne gudar, etter skikken hjå dei folki som dei var burtførde frå.
34 Even until this day do they act after the former manners: they fear not the Lord, neither do they act after their own customs, and after their manner, nor after the law and after the commandment which the Lord commanded the children of Israel, whose name he styled Israel;
Den dag i dag fer dei etter dei same gamle skikkarne sine; dei ber ikkje age for Herren, so dei fer etter sine fyreskrifter og rettar, og etter den lov og det bod som Herren gav borni åt Jakob, han som fekk namnet Israel.
35 With whom the Lord had made a covenant, and charged them, saying, Ye shall not fear other gods, nor bow yourselves down to them, nor serve them, nor sacrifice to them;
Herren gjorde ei pakt og gav deim sovore bod: «Andre gudar skal det ikkje hava age for, og ikkje bøygja kne for deim eller tena deim eller ofra til deim.
36 But the Lord, who hath brought you up out of the land of Egypt with great might and with an outstretched arm, him alone shall ye fear, and to him shall ye bow yourselves down, and to him shall ye sacrifice;
Men Herren, som førde dykk upp frå Egyptarlandet med stor kraft og med strak arm, honom skal de bera age for, honom skal de bøygja kne for, honom skal de ofra til.
37 And the statutes, and the ordinances, and the law, and the commandment, which he hath written for you, shall ye observe to do for all time; and ye shall not fear other gods.
Og dei fyreskrifter og rettar, og den lov og det bod som han let skriva for dykk - deim skal de taka vare på og halda alle dagar; men de skal ikkje bera age for andre gudar.
38 And the covenant that I have made with you shall ye not forget; and ye shall not fear other gods.
Den pakti eg gjorde med dykk, må de ikkje gløyma. De må ikkje bera age for andre gudar.
39 But the Lord your God shall ye fear; and he will deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies.
Nei, ber age for Herren, dykkar Gud, so skal han fria dykk frå alle dykkar fiendar.»
40 Nevertheless they have not hearkened, but they act after their former manner.
Men dei vilde ikkje høyra, men for fram på same vis som fyrr.
41 So were these nations, while they feared the Lord, also serving their graven images; and both their children and their children's children do until this day as their fathers have done.
So bar desse folki age for Herren, men tente samstundes gudebilæti sine. Og borni og barneborni deira gjer den dag i dag so som federne deira gjorde.
