< 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,
No te tekau ma rua o nga tau o Ahata kingi o Hura i kingi ai a Hohea tama a Eraha ki Hamaria, ki a Iharaira, a e iwa nga tau i kingi ai ia.
2 and he does evil in the eyes of YHWH, only, not as the kings of Israel who were before him;
I kino tana mahi ki te titiro a Ihowa; otiia kihai i rite ki ta nga kingi o Iharaira i mua atu i a ia.
3 Shalmaneser king of Asshur came up against him, and Hoshea is a servant to him, and renders a present to him.
I whakaekea ia e Haramanehere kingi o Ahiria; a ka riro a Hohea hei pononga mana, ka mau hakari hoki ki a ia.
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.
Na ka mau i te kingi o Ahiria e whakatupu he ana a Hohea; i tukua hoki e ia he karere ki a Ho kingi o Ihipa, a kihai i kawe hakari ki te kingi o Ahiria, pera i tana i kawe ai i era atu tau. Na tutakina ana ia e te kingi o Ahiria, hereherea ana ki te whare herehere.
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;
Katahi ka whakaekea te whenua katoa e te kingi o Ahiria, haere ana ia ki Hamaria, whakapaea ana, e toru tau.
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.
I te iwa o nga tau o Hohea ka horo Hamaria i te kingi o Ahiria, a whakahekea atu ana e ia a Iharaira ki Ahiria, a whakanohoia ana ki Haraha, ki Haporo, i te taha o te awa, o Kotana, a ki nga pa o nga Meri.
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 pera ai, mo te hara o nga tama a Iharaira ki a Ihowa, ki to ratou Atua, nana nei ratou i kawe mai i te whenua o Ihipa i raro i te ringa o Parao kingi o Ihipa, mo ratou i wehi i nga atua ke,
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;
A haere ana i runga i nga tikanga a nga iwi i peia nei e Ihowa i mua i nga tama a Iharaira, a nga kingi hoki o Iharaira i whakakingitia nei e ratou.
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,
A mahi puku ana nga tama a Iharaira i nga mea kihai i tika ki ta Ihowa, ki ta to ratou Atua, hanga ana e ratou etahi wahi tiketike ma ratou ki o ratou pa katoa, ki te taumaihi a nga kaitutei, ki te pa whai taiepa.
10 and set up standing-pillars and Asherim for themselves on every high height, and under every green tree,
Whakaturia ana e ratou he whakapakoko, he Aherimi ki runga ki nga pukepuke tiketike katoa, ki raro hoki i nga rakau kouru nui katoa.
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,
Tahuna ana e ratou he whakakakara ki reira, ki nga wahi tiketike katoa, pera ana me nga iwi i whakahekea atu nei e Ihowa i mua i a ratou; mahia ana e ratou nga mahi kikino katoa hei whakapataritari i a Ihowa:
12 and serve the idols, of which YHWH said to them, “You do not do this thing.”
Mahi ana hoki ratou ki nga whakapakoko i ki ai a Ihowa ki a ratou, Kaua e meatia e koutou tenei mea.
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”;
Otiia i whakaaturia e Ihowa te he o Iharaira, o Hura, he mea korero na nga poropiti katoa, na nga matakite katoa; i mea ia, Hoki mai i o koutou ara he, puritia aku whakahau me aku tikanga, kia rite ki te ture katoa i whakahaua e ahau ki o koutou matua, ki taku i unga ai ki a koutou, he mea korero na aku pononga, na nga poropiti.
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,
Heoi kihai ratou i rongo, engari whakapakeke ana i o ratou kaki, kia pera me nga kaki o o ratou matua, kihai nei i whakapono ki a Ihowa, ki to ratou Atua.
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.
Whakorekore ana ratou ki ana tikanga, ki tana kawenata hoki i whakaritea e ia ki o ratou matua, ki ana whakaaturanga i whakaaturia e ia ki a ratou; i whai ratou i nga mea tekateka noa, a teka noa iho ratou, arumia ana e ratou nga iwi i tetahi ta ha o ratou, i tetahi taha, era i ako ra a Ihowa ki a ratou, kia kaua e rite te mahi ki ta ratou.
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,
Na whakarerea ana e ratou nga whakahau katoa a Ihowa, a to ratou Atua, a hanga ana he whakapakoko whakarewa ma ratou, ko nga kuao kau e rua: i hanga ano e ratou he Ahera, a koropiko ana ki te ope katoa o te rangi, mahi ana ki a Paara.
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.
I meinga ano e ratou a ratou tama me a ratou tamahine kia tika na waenganui i te ahi: i tahuri ki nga tohu, ki nga karakia maori: i hoko hoki i a ratou hei mahi i te kino ki te titiro a Ihowa, hei whakapataritari i a ia.
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.
Na reira nui atu te riri o Ihowa ki a Iharaira, a nekehia atu ana ratou e ia i tona aroaro: kihai tetahi i mahue, ko te iwi anake o Hura.
19 Also Judah has not kept the commands of their God YHWH, and they walk in the statutes of Israel that they had made.
Me Hura hoki, kihai ratou i pupuri i nga whakahau a Ihowa, a to ratou Atua, heoi haere ana i runga i nga tikanga i whakatakotoria e Iharaira.
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,
Na whakakorekore ana a Ihowa ki nga uri katoa o Iharaira, whakawhiua ana ratou e ia, hoatu ana ki nga ringa o nga kaipahua, a maka noatia atu ratou e ia i tona aroaro.
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,
I titorehia atu hoki e ia a Iharaira i te whare o Rawiri, a meinga ana e ratou a Ieropoama tama a Nepata hei kingi: na aia ana a Iharaira e Ieropoama, kia kaua e whai i a Ihowa, a nana ratou i hara ai, he nui te hara.
22 and the sons of Israel walk in all the sins of Jeroboam that he did, they have not turned aside from them,
Na haere ana nga tama a Iharaira i nga hara katoa i hara ai a Ieropoama; kihai ratou i mawehe atu i reira.
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.
A nekehia atu ra ano a Iharaira e Ihowa i tona aroaro: ko tana hoki tena i ki ai, he mea korero na ana pononga katoa, na nga poropiti. Na ka whakahekea atu a Iharaira i to ratou whenua ki Ahiria a mohoa noa nei.
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;
Na ka kawea mai e te kingi o Ahiria he tangata i Papurona, i Kuta, i Awa, i Hamata, i Heparawaima, a whakanohoia ana ki nga pa o Hamaria, ki nga wahi o nga tama a Iharaira. Na kua riro a Hamaria i a ratou, a nohoia ana e ratou nga pa o reira.
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.
Na i te timatanga o to ratou noho i reira, kihai ratou i wehi i a Ihowa. Heoi unga ana e Ihowa he raiona ki a ratou, a whakamatea iho etahi o ratou.
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.”
Na reira ka korero etahi ki te kingi o Ahiria, ka mea, Ko nga iwi i whakahekea ra e koe, i whakanohoia ra ki nga pa o Hamaria, kahore e matau ki nga ritenga a te Atua o te whenua: na reira ka unga e ia he raiona ki a ratou, na ka whakamatea nei ratou, mo ratou kahore e matau ki nga ritenga a te Atua o te whenua.
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.”
Katahi ka whakahau te kingi e Ahiria, ka mea, Mauria ki reira tetahi o nga tohunga i whakahekea mai nei e koutou i reira; a ma ratou e haere ki reira noho ai, mana hoki ratou e whakaako ki nga ritenga a te Atua o te whenua.
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,
Katahi ka haere tetahi o nga tohunga i whakahekea atu i Hamaria, a noho ana ki Peteere, a nana ratou i whakaako ki te tikanga mo to ratou wehi i a Ihowa.
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.
Otiia i hanga e tenei iwi, e tenei iwi he atua ake mona, a whakanohoia ana ki nga whare o nga wahi tiketike i hanga nei e nga Hamari; e tenei iwi, e tenei iwi ki o ratou pa i noho ai ratou.
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,
Na ka hangaia e nga tangata o Papurona a Hukoto Penoto; na nga tangata o Kutu i hanga Nerekara; na nga tangata o Hamata i hanga Ahima;
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.
A na nga Awi i hanga Nipihata raua ko Tarataka. I tahuna hoki e nga Heparawaimi a ratou tamariki ki te ahi, hei mea ki a Ataramereke raua ko Anamereke, atua o Heparawaima.
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.
Heoi wehi ana ratou i a Ihowa, a whakatohungatia ana e ratou no ratou ano hei tohunga ma ratou mo nga wahi tiketike; a ko era hei kaimahi ma ratou mo nga mea tapu i nga whare o nga wahi tiketike.
33 They are fearing YHWH, and they are serving their gods, according to the custom of the nations from where they removed them.
I wehi ratou i a Ihowa, me te mahi ano ki o ratou atua: pera ana i nga iwi i whakahekea atu nei ratou i reira.
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,
Rite tonu ki o mua ritenga a ratou mahi a taea noatia tenei ra; kahore o ratou wehi i a Ihowa, kahore hoki a ratou mahi e rite ki a ratou tikanga, ki a ratou whakaritenga, ki te ture, ki te whakahau ranei i whakahau ai a Ihowa i nga tama a Hakop a, ko tana ingoa nei mona ko Iharaira;
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,
I whakarite kawenata nei a Ihowa ki a ratou, i whakahau hoki i a ratou, i mea, Kaua e wehi i nga atua ke, kaua hoki e koropiko ki a ratou, kaua e mahi ki a ratou, kaua hoki e patu whakahere ki a ratou.
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;
Engari a Ihowa, nana nei koutou i kawe mai i te whenua o Ihipa i runga i te kaha nui, i te ringa maro, ko ia ta koutou e wehi ai, ko ia ta koutou e koropiko ai; me patu whakahere ano ki a ia.
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;
Na, ko nga tikanga me nga whakaritenga, ko te ture me te whakahau, kua oti na te tuhituhi e ia mo koutou, me pupuri e koutou, me mahi i nga ra katoa; kaua hoki e wehi i nga atua ke;
38 and you do not forget the covenant that I have made with you, and you do not fear other gods;
Kaua hoki e wareware ki te kawenata i whakaritea e ahau ki a koutou; kaua hoki e wehi ki nga atua ke;
39 but you fear your God YHWH, and He delivers you out of the hand of all your enemies”;
Engari ko Ihowa, ko to koutou Atua, ta koutou e wehi ai, a mana koutou e whakaora i te ringa o o koutou hoariri katoa.
40 and they have not listened, but they are doing according to their former custom,
Otiia kihai ratou i rongo; na rite tonu ki nga ritenga o mua ta ratou i mea ai.
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.
Heoi wehi ana aua iwi i a Ihowa, me te mahi ano ki o ratou whakapakoko; i pera ano a ratou tamariki, me nga tamariki a a ratou tamariki, me o ratou matua, a taea noatia tenei ra.
