2 Kings 17
1 In the twelfth year of Ahaz king of Judah, Hoshea son of Elah has reigned over Israel in Samaria, nine years,
Dvanaeste godine kraljevanja Ahaza u Judeji, postao je Hošea, sin Elin, izraelskim kraljem u Samariji. Kraljevao je devet godina.
2 and he does evil in the eyes of YHWH, only, not as the kings of Israel who were before him;
On je činio što je zlo u očima Jahvinim, ali ne kao izraelski kraljevi, njegovi prethodnici.
3 Shalmaneser king of Asshur came up against him, and Hoshea is a servant to him, and renders a present to him.
Asirski kralj Salmanasar pošao je protiv Hošee, koji mu se pokorio i plaćao mu danak.
4 And the king of Asshur finds in Hoshea a conspiracy, in that he has sent messengers to So king of Egypt, and has not caused a present to go up to the king of Asshur, as year by year, and the king of Asshur restrains him, and binds him in a house of restraint.
Ali je asirski kralj otkrio da mu Hošea sprema zavjeru: još je Hošea poslao poslanike egipatskom kralju Sou i nije platio danaka asirskom kralju kao svake godine. Tada ga asirski kralj baci u tamnicu.
5 And the king of Asshur goes up into all the land, and he goes up to Samaria, and lays siege against it [for] three years;
Asirski kralj osvoji svu zemlju i krenu opsjedati Samariju. Opsjedao ju je tri godine.
6 in the ninth year of Hoshea, the king of Asshur has captured Samaria, and removes Israel to Asshur, and causes them to dwell in Halah, and in Habor, [by] the river Gozan, and [in] the cities of the Medes.
Devete godine Hošeine vladavine zauze asirski kralj Samariju i odvede Izraelce u sužanjstvo u Asiriju. Naselio ih je u Helahu, i na Haboru, rijeci u Gozanu, i u gradovima medijskim.
7 And it comes to pass, because the sons of Israel have sinned against their God YHWH—who brings them up out of the land of Egypt, from under the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt—and fear other gods,
I tako se dogodilo zato što su Izraelci sagriješili protiv Jahve, Boga svoga, koji ih je izveo iz zemlje egipatske, ispod vlasti faraona, kralja egipatskog. Štovali su druge bogove,
8 and walk in the statutes of the nations that YHWH dispossessed from the presence of the sons of Israel, and of the kings of Israel that they made;
slijedili običaje naroda što ih je Jahve protjerao pred sinovima Izraelovim, živjeli po običajima što su ih uveli kraljevi Izraelovi.
9 and the sons of Israel covertly do things that [are] not right against their God YHWH, and build high places for themselves in all their cities, from a tower of the watchers to the fortified city,
Izraelci i njihovi kraljevi potajno su činili neprikladna djela protiv Jahve, Boga svoga. Podigli su uzvišice u svim svojim naseljima: od stražarskih kula pa do utvrđenih gradova.
10 and set up standing-pillars and Asherim for themselves on every high height, and under every green tree,
Podizali su stupove i ašere na svakom humku i pod svakim zelenim drvetom.
11 and make incense there in all high places, like the nations that YHWH removed from their presence, and do evil things to provoke YHWH,
Ondje su, na svim uzvišicama, palili kad po običaju naroda što ih je Jahve protjerao ispred njih i činili su zla djela te izazivali gnjev Jahvin.
12 and serve the idols, of which YHWH said to them, “You do not do this thing.”
Služili su idolima, premda im Jahve bijaše rekao: “Ne činite toga!”
13 And YHWH testifies against Israel, and against Judah, by the hand of every prophet, and every seer, saying, “Turn back from your evil ways, and keep My commands, My statutes, according to all the Law that I commanded your fathers, and that I sent to you by the hand of My servants the prophets”;
A Jahve opominjaše Izraelce i Judejce preko svih svojih proroka i sviju vidjelaca: “Obratite se od zlog puta svoga”, govorio je, “i pokoravajte se naredbama i zapovijedima mojim prema Zakonu koji sam naložio ocima vašim i prema svemu što sam vam objavio preko slugu svojih - proroka.”
14 and they have not listened, and harden their neck, like the neck of their fathers, who did not remain steadfast in their God YHWH,
Ali oni nisu poslušali nego su ostali tvrdovrati kao i njihovi oci, koji nisu vjerovali u Jahvu, Boga svoga.
15 and reject His statutes and His covenant that He made with their fathers, and His testimonies that He testified against them, and go after the vain thing, and become vain, and after the nations that are around them, of whom YHWH commanded them not to do like them.
Prezreli su njegove zakone i Savez koji je sklopio s njihovim ocima i opomene njegove koje im je upućivao. Težili su za ispraznošću, pa su i sami postali isprazni slijedeći narode oko sebe, premda im je Jahve zapovjedio da ne čine kao oni.
16 And they forsake all the commands of their God YHWH, and make a molten image for themselves—two calves, and make an Asherah, and bow themselves to all the host of the heavens, and serve Ba‘al,
Odbacili su sve zapovijedi Jahve, Boga svoga, i načinili su sebi salivene idole, dva teleta. Podigli su ašere, klanjali se svoj vojsci nebeskoj i služili Baalu.
17 and cause their sons and their daughters to pass over through fire, and divine divinations, and use enchantments, and sell themselves to do evil in the eyes of YHWH, to provoke Him.
Provodili su svoje sinove i kćeri kroz oganj, odavali se vračanju i gatanju, čineći tako zlo u očima Jahvinim i razjarujući ga.
18 And YHWH shows Himself very angry against Israel, and turns them aside from His presence; none has been left, only the tribe of Judah by itself.
Tada se Jahve razgnjevi na Izraela i odbaci ga ispred svoga lica. Ostalo je samo pleme Judino.
19 Also Judah has not kept the commands of their God YHWH, and they walk in the statutes of Israel that they had made.
Ali ni pleme Judino nije držalo zapovijedi Jahve, Boga svoga, i slijedilo je običaje kojih su se držali Izraelci.
20 And YHWH kicks against all the seed of Israel, and afflicts them, and gives them into the hand of spoilers, until He has cast them out of His presence,
I Jahve odbaci sav rod Izraela, ponizi ga i predade ga pljačkašima, dok ih konačno ne odbaci daleko od svoga lica.
21 for He has torn Israel from the house of David, and they make Jeroboam son of Nebat king, and Jeroboam drives Israel from after YHWH, and has caused them to sin a great sin,
On je, konačno, otrgnuo Izraelce od kuće Davidove, a Izrael je proglasio kraljem Jeroboama, sina Nebatova. Jeroboam je odvratio Izraela od Jahve i naveo ih na veliku grehotu.
22 and the sons of Israel walk in all the sins of Jeroboam that he did, they have not turned aside from them,
Izraelci su slijedili svaki grijeh koji je Jeroboam počinio i od njega se nisu odvraćali,
23 until YHWH has turned Israel aside from His presence, as He spoke by the hand of all His servants the prophets, and Israel is removed from off its land to Asshur, to this day.
dok konačno Jahve nije odbacio Izraela ispred svoga lica, kako to bijaše objavio po svojim slugama, prorocima. Odveo je Izraelce iz njihove zemlje u sužanjstvo u Asiriju, gdje su do današnjega dana.
24 And the king of Asshur brings in [people] from Babylon and from Cutha, and from Ava, and from Hamath, and Sepharvaim, and causes [them] to dwell in the cities of Samaria instead of the sons of Israel, and they possess Samaria, and dwell in its cities;
Asirski je kralj doveo ljude iz Babilona, iz Kute, iz Ave, Hamata i iz Sefarvajima, i naselio ih u gradovima Samarije mjesto Izraelaca. Oni su zaposjeli Samariju i nastanili se u gradovima njezinim.
25 and it comes to pass, at the commencement of their dwelling there, they have not feared YHWH, and YHWH sends the lions among them, and they are destroying among them.
U vrijeme naseljavanja u zemlju nisu štovali Jahve i on je poslao protiv njih lavove da ih rastrgaju.
26 And they speak to the king of Asshur, saying, “The nations that you have removed and place in the cities of Samaria have not known the custom of the God of the land, and He sends the lions among them, and behold, they are destroying them, as they do not know the custom of the God of the land.”
Zato su rekli asirskom kralju: “Narodi koje si preselio da ih nastaniš u gradovima Samarije ne znaju kako valja štovati Boga ove zemlje i on je na njih poslao lavove, koji ih usmrćuju, jer ti narodi ne poznaju bogoštovlja ove zemlje.”
27 And the king of Asshur commands, saying, “Cause one of the priests to go there whom you removed from there, and they go and dwell there, and he teaches them the custom of the God of the land.”
Tada je asirski kralj izdao ovu zapovijed: “Neka ide onamo jedan od svećenika koje sam odande doveo u sužanjstvo; neka ide, neka se ondje nastani i pouči ih u štovanju Boga one zemlje.”
28 And one of the priests whom they removed from Samaria comes in, and dwells in Beth-El, and he is teaching them how they fear YHWH,
Tako ode jedan od svećenika koji su bili odvedeni iz Samarije i nastani se u Betelu. On ih je poučio kako treba štovati Jahvu.
29 and each nation is making its gods, and they place [them] in the houses of the high places that the Samaritans have made—each nation in their cities where they are dwelling.
Svaki je narod imao likove svojih bogova i postavili su ih u hramove na uzvišicama koje su podigli Samarijanci, svaki narod u svojim gradovima u kojima življaše.
30 And the men of Babylon have made Succoth-Benoth, and the men of Cuth have made Nergal, and the men of Hamath have made Ashima,
Babilonci načiniše Sukot Benota, Kušani Nergala, Hamaćani Ašimu;
31 and the Avites have made Nibhaz and Tartak, and the Sepharvites are burning their sons with fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech, gods of Sepharvim.
Avijci načiniše Nibhaza i Tartaka, a Sefarvajimci spaljivahu svoju djecu na ognju u čast Adrameleka i Anameleka, sefarvajimskih bogova.
32 And they are fearing YHWH, and make for themselves from their extremities priests of high places, and they are working for them in the house of the high places.
Oni su štovali i Jahvu i postavili su neke između sebe za svećenike uzvišica koji su im prinosili žrtve u hramovima uzvišica.
33 They are fearing YHWH, and they are serving their gods, according to the custom of the nations from where they removed them.
Štovali su Jahvu i služili su svojim bogovima po običaju onih naroda između kojih su ih preselili.
34 To this day they are doing according to the former customs—they are not fearing YHWH, and are not doing according to their statutes, and according to their ordinances, and according to the Law, and according to the command, that YHWH commanded the sons of Jacob whose name He made Israel,
Oni se još i danas drže starih običaja. Ne štuju Jahve i ne usklađuju svojih pravila i običaja sa Zakonom i zapovijedima što ih je Jahve naredio djeci Jakova komu je nadjenuo ime Izrael.
35 and YHWH makes a covenant with them and charges them, saying, “You do not fear other gods, nor bow yourselves to them, nor serve them, nor sacrifice to them,
Jahve bijaše s njima sklopio Savez i zapovjedio im: “Ne štujte tuđih bogova niti im se klanjajte. Nemojte ih štovati niti im žrtava prinositi.
36 but YHWH who brought you up out of the land of Egypt with great power, and with an outstretched arm, Him you fear, and to Him you bow yourselves, and to Him you sacrifice;
Samo je Jahve onaj koji vas je velikom snagom svoje ispružene ruke izveo iz zemlje egipatske; njega štujte, njemu se klanjajte i njemu žrtve prinosite.
37 and the statutes, and the judgments, and the Law, and the command, that He wrote for you, you observe to do all the days, and you do not fear other gods;
Držite se pravila i običaja, zakona i naredaba koje vam je propisao da ih vjerno ispunjavate uvijek i ne štujte tuđih bogova.
38 and you do not forget the covenant that I have made with you, and you do not fear other gods;
Nemojte zaboraviti Saveza koji sam sklopio s vama i nemojte štovati drugih bogova,
39 but you fear your God YHWH, and He delivers you out of the hand of all your enemies”;
samo Jahvu, Boga svoga, poštujte i on će vas izbaviti iz ruke svih vaših neprijatelja.”
40 and they have not listened, but they are doing according to their former custom,
Ali oni nisu poslušali, nego su se i dalje držali svoga starog običaja.
41 and these nations are fearing YHWH, and they have served their carved images, both their sons and their sons’ sons; as their fathers did, they are doing to this day.
Tako su ti narodi štovali Jahvu, a služili su i svojim idolima. Njihovi sinovi i sinovi njihovih sinova čine do dana današnjega onako kako su činili njihovi oci.
