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.
No ano décimo segundo de Acaz rei de Judá, começou a reinar Oseias filho de Elá em Samaria sobre Israel; e reinou nove anos.
2 And he did what is evil in the eyes of the Lord, but not like the kings of Israel that were before him.
E fez o que era mau aos olhos do SENHOR, ainda que não como os reis de Israel que antes dele haviam sido.
3 Against him came up Shalmanesser, the king of Assyria; and Hoshea' became his servant, and rendered him tribute.
Contra este subiu Salmaneser rei dos assírios; e Oseias foi feito seu servo, e pagava-lhe tributo.
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.
Mas o rei da Assíria achou que Oseias fazia conspiração: porque havia enviado embaixadores a Sô, rei do Egito, e não pagava tributo ao rei da Assíria, como cada ano: pelo que o rei da Assíria lhe deteve, e lhe aprisionou na casa do cárcere.
5 And the king of Assyria came up over all the land, and went up to Samaria, and besieged it three years.
E o rei da Assíria partiu contra todo aquela terra, e subiu contra Samaria, e a cercou por três anos.
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.
No nono ano de Oseias, o rei da Assíria tomou a Samaria, e transportou a Israel a Assíria, e os pôs em Hala, e em Habor, junto ao rio de Gozã, e nas cidades dos medos.
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,
Porque como os filhos de Israel pecassem contra o SENHOR seu Deus, que os tirou da terra do Egito de sob a mão de Faraó rei do Egito, e temessem a deuses alheios,
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.
E andassem nos estatutos das nações que o SENHOR havia lançado diante dos filhos de Israel, e nos dos reis de Israel, que fizeram;
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;
E os filhos de Israel fizeram secretamente coisas que não eram corretas, contra o SENHOR seu Deus, edificando para si altos em todas as suas cidades, desde as torres das atalaias até as cidades fortes,
10 And had set themselves up statues and groves on every high hill, and under every green tree;
E levantaram para si estátuas e bosques em todo morro alto, e debaixo de toda árvore frondosa,
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;
E queimaram ali incenso em todos os altos, à maneira das nações que o SENHOR havia expulsado diante deles, e fizeram coisas muito más para provocar o SENHOR à ira,
12 And had served the idols, whereof the Lord had said unto them, Ye shall not do this thing.
Pois serviam aos ídolos, dos quais o SENHOR lhes havia dito: Vós não haveis de fazer isto;
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.
O SENHOR advertia, então, contra Israel e contra Judá, por meio de todos os profetas, e de todos os videntes, dizendo: Convertei-vos de vossos maus caminhos, e guardai meus mandamentos e minhas ordenanças, conforme a todas as leis que eu prescrevi a vossos pais, e que os enviei por meio de meus servos, os profetas.
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;
Mas eles não obedeceram, antes endureceram sua cerviz, como a cerviz de seus pais, os quais não creram no SENHOR seu Deus.
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.
E rejeitaram seus estatutos, e seu pacto que ele havia concertado com seus pais, e seus testemunhos que ele havia advertido contra eles; e seguiram a vaidade, e se fizeram vãos, e seguiram as nações que estavam ao redor deles, das quais o SENHOR havia lhes mandado que não fizessem à maneira delas;
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;
E deixaram todos os mandamentos do SENHOR seu Deus, e fizeram para si imagens de dois bezerros, e também bosques, e adoraram a todo o exército do céu, e serviram a Baal:
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.
E fizeram passar a seus filhos e a suas filhas por fogo; e deram-se a adivinhações e agouros, e entregaram-se a fazer o que era mau aos olhos do SENHOR, provocando-o à ira.
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.
O SENHOR, portanto, se irou em grande maneira contra Israel, e tirou-os de diante de seu rosto; que não restou a não ser somente a tribo de Judá.
19 Also Judah kept not the commandments of the Lord their God, but walked in the customs of Israel which they had made.
Mas nem ainda Judá guardou os mandamentos do SENHOR seu Deus; antes andaram nos estatutos de Israel, os quais eles haviam feito.
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.
E rejeitou o SENHOR toda a semente de Israel, e afligiu-os, e entregou-os em mãos de saqueadores, até lançá-los de sua presença.
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;
Porque cortou a Israel da casa de Davi, e eles se fizeram rei a Jeroboão filho de Nebate; e Jeroboão desviou a Israel de seguir o SENHOR, e fez-lhes cometer grande pecado.
22 And the children of Israel walked in all the sins of Jerobo'am which he did; they departed not therefrom.
E os filhos de Israel andaram em todos os pecados de Jeroboão que ele fez, sem desviar-se deles;
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.
Até que o SENHOR tirou a Israel de diante de seu rosto, como o havia ele dito por meio de todos os profetas seus servos: e Israel foi transportado de sua terra à Assíria, até hoje.
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.
E trouxe o rei da Assíria gente de Babilônia, e de Cuta, e de Hava, e de Hamate, e de Sefarvaim, e os pôs nas cidades de Samaria, em lugar dos filhos de Israel; e possuíram a Samaria, e habitaram em suas cidades.
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.
E aconteceu ao princípio, quando começaram a habitar ali, que não temendo eles ao SENHOR, enviou o SENHOR contra eles leões que os matavam.
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.
Então disseram eles ao rei da Assíria: As nações que tu transportaste e puseste nas cidades de Samaria, não sabem a costume do Deus daquela terra, e ele lançou leões neles, e eis que os matam, porque não sabem a costume do Deus da terra.
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.
E o rei da Assíria mandou, dizendo: Levai ali a algum dos sacerdotes que trouxestes dali, e vão e habitem ali, e ensinem-lhes o costume do Deus daquela terra.
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.
E veio um dos sacerdotes que haviam transportado de Samaria, e habitou em Betel, e ensinou-lhes como haviam de temer ao SENHOR.
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.
Mas cada nação fez para si seus deuses, e puseram-nos nos templos dos altos que haviam feito os de Samaria; cada nação em sua cidade onde habitava.
30 And the men of Babylon made Succoth-benoth, and the men of Cuth made Neregal, and the men of Chamath made Ashima.
Os da Babilônia fizeram a Sucote-Benote, e os de Cuta fizeram a Nergal, e os de Hamate fizeram a 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.
Os heveus fizeram a Nibaz e a Tartaque; e os de Sefarvaim queimavam seus filhos ao fogo a Adrameleque e a Anameleque, deuses de Sefarvaim.
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.
E temiam ao SENHOR; e fizeram dos do povo sacerdotes dos altos, os quais sacrificavam para eles nos templos dos altos.
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.
Temiam ao SENHOR, e honravam a seus deuses, segundo o costume das nações de onde haviam sido transportados.
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;
Até hoje fazem como primeiro; que nem temem ao SENHOR, nem guardam seus estatutos, nem suas ordenanças, nem fazem segundo a lei e os mandamentos que prescreveu o SENHOR aos filhos de Jacó, ao qual pôs o nome de 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;
Com os quais havia o SENHOR feito pacto, e lhes mandou, dizendo: Não temereis a outros deuses, nem os adorareis, nem lhes servireis, nem lhes sacrificareis:
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;
Mas ao SENHOR, que vos tirou da terra do Egito com grande poder e braço estendido, a este temereis, e a este adorareis, e a este fareis sacrifício.
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.
Os estatutos e direitos e lei e mandamentos que vos deu por escrito, cuidareis sempre de praticá-los, e não temereis deuses alheios.
38 And the covenant that I have made with you shall ye not forget; and ye shall not fear other gods.
E não esquecereis o pacto que fiz convosco; nem temereis deuses alheios:
39 But the Lord your God shall ye fear; and he will deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies.
Mas temei ao SENHOR vosso Deus, e ele vos livrará da mão de todos vossos inimigos.
40 Nevertheless they have not hearkened, but they act after their former manner.
Porém eles não escutaram; antes fizeram segundo seu costume antigo.
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.
Assim temeram ao SENHOR aquelas nações, e juntamente serviram a seus ídolos: e também seus filhos e seus netos, segundo que fizeram seus pais, assim fazem até hoje.
