2 Kings 17
1 In the twelfth year of Ahaz king of Judah, began Hosea son of Elah to reign in Samaria, over Israel, [and he reigned] nine years.
यहूदाका राजा आहाजको बाह्रौं वर्षमा एलाहका छोरा होशियाले राज्य सुरु गरे । तिनले सामरियामा बसेर इस्राएलमाथि नौ वर्ष राज्य गरे ।
2 And he did the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, —only, not like the kings of Israel who were before him.
परमप्रभुको दृष्टिमा जे खराब थियो तिनले त्यही गरे, तापनि तिनीभन्दा अगिका इस्राएलका राजाहरूले जस्तै भने होइन ।
3 Against him, came up Shalmaneser king of Assyria, —and Hoshea became his servant, and rendered him a present.
अश्शूरका राजा शलमनेशेरले होशियालाई आक्रमण गरे र उनी तिनका सेवक बने र तिनलाई कर तिरे ।
4 Then found the king of Assyria, in Hosea, a conspiracy, in that he had sent messengers unto So king of Egypt, and had not brought up a present to the king of Assyria, as [he had done] year by year, —therefore the king of Assyria shut him up, and bound him in prison.
त्यसपछि आफ्नो विरुद्धमा होशियाले षड्यन्त्र गरेका कुराको जानकरी अश्शूरका राजाले थाहा पाए, किनकि होशियाले मिश्रका राजा सोकहाँ सन्देशवाहकहरू पठाएका थिए । साथै, तिनले अश्शूरका राजालाई वर्षैपिच्छे तिर्दै आएको कर पनि तिरेनन् । त्यसैले अश्शूरका राजाले तिनलाई बन्दी बनाए र झ्यालखानामा थुनेर राखे ।
5 And the king of Assyria came up throughout all the land, —yea he came up to Samaria, and besieged it three years.
तब अश्शूरका राजाले देशैभरि आक्रमण गरे, र सामरियामाथि आक्रमण गरे र यसलाई तिन वर्षसम्म घेराबन्दी गरे ।
6 In the ninth year of Hoshea, did the king of Assyria capture Samaria, and carried Israel away captive to Assyria, —and settled them in Halah, and in Habor by the river of Gozan, and the mountains of Media.
होशियाको नवौँ वर्षमा अश्शूरका राजाले सामरियालाई कब्जा गरे र इस्राएलीहरूलाई अश्शूरमा लगे । तिनीहरूलाई गोजानको हाबोर नदीको किनारको हलहमा र मादीहरूका सहरहरूमा तिनले बसाले ।
7 And thus it came to pass that Israel sinned against Yahweh their God, who brought them up out of the land of Egypt, from under the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt, —yea they did reverence to other gods;
इस्राएलीहरूले आफूलाई मिश्रदेशका राजा फारोको हातबाट छुटाउनुहुने, तिनीहरूलाई मिश्रदेशबाट ल्याउनुहुने परमप्रभु आफ्ना परमेश्वरको विरुद्धमा पाप गरेका हुनाले यसरी तिनीहरू बन्दी भए । यी मानिसहरूले अरू देवताहरूको पुजा गरिरहेका थिए,
8 and walked in the statutes of the nations, whom Yahweh had dispossessed from before the sons of Israel, —and [in the statutes] of the kings of Israel, which they had made.
र इस्राएलका मानिसहरूका सामुबाट परमप्रभुले धपाउनुभएका जातिहरूका अभ्यासहरू तथा इस्राएलका राजाहरूका अभ्यासहरू गरिरहेका थिए ।
9 And the sons of Israel did, secretly, things which were not right, against Yahweh their God, —and built for themselves high places in all their cities, from the watchmen’s tower, to the fortified city.
इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले परमप्रभु आफ्ना परमेश्वरको विरुद्धमा जे कुराहरू गर्नु ठिक थिएन, गुप्त रूपमा त्यही गरे । धरहरादेखि किल्लासम्म नै आफ्ना सबै सहरहरूमा तिनीहरूले आफ्ना निम्ति उच्च थानहरू बनाए ।
10 And they set up for themselves pillars and Sacred Stems, upon every high hill, and under every green tree;
हरेक उच्च डाँडा रहरेक हरियो रुखमुनि तिनीहरूले डुङ्गाका मूर्तिहरू र अशेराका खम्बाहरू बनाए ।
11 and burned incense there, in all the high places, like the nations whom Yahweh drave out from before them, —and did things that were wicked, so as to provoke Yahweh to anger;
तिनीहरूका सामुबाट परमप्रभुले धपाउनुभएका जातिहरूले गरेजस्तै तिनीहरूले उच्च थानहरूमा धूप बाले । परमप्रभुलाई रिस उठाउनलाई इस्राएलीहरूले दुष्ट कुराहरू गरे,
12 and they served the manufactured gods, as to which Yahweh had said to them, Ye shall not do this thing.
तिनीहरूले मूर्तिहरूको पुजा गरे, जसका बारेमा परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूलाई भन्नुभएको थियो, “तिमीहरूले यो कुरा गर्ने छैनौ ।”
13 And Yahweh testified against Israel and against Judah, through all his prophets—every one who had a vision, saying—Turn ye from your wicked ways, and keep my commandments, my statutes, according to all the law which I commanded your fathers; and which I sent unto you through my servants the prophets.
तापनि परमप्रभुले हरेक अगमवक्ता र हरेक दर्शीद्वारा इस्राएल र यहूदालाई यसो भनरे चेताउनी दिनुभएको थियो, “आ-आफ्ना दुष्ट मार्गहरूबाट फर्केर मेरा आज्ञाहरू र विधिहरू पालन गर, अनि मैले तिमीहरूका पुर्खाहरूलाई आज्ञा गरेका अनि आफ्ना सेवकहरू अर्थात् अगमवक्ताहरूद्वारा मैले तिमीहरूकहाँ पठाएका सबै आज्ञा पालन गर्न सावधना होओ ।”
14 Howbeit they hearkened not, —but stiffened their neck, like the neck of their fathers, who trusted not in Yahweh their God;
तर तिनीहरूले सुनेनन् । बरु परमप्रभु आफ्ना परमेश्वरमाथि विश्वास नगर्ने आफ्ना पुर्खाहरूजस्तै तिनीहरू ज्यादै हठी भए ।
15 but rejected his statutes, and his covenant, which he solemnised with their fathers, and his testimonies wherewith he testified against them, —and followed vanity, and became vain, and followed the nations that were round about them, as to whom Yahweh charged them, so that they should not do like them.
तिनीहरूले उहाँका विधिहरू र तिनीहरूका पुर्खाहरूसित उहाँले बाँध्नुभएको करार र उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई दिनुभएका करारका आज्ञाहरूलाई इन्कार गरे । तिनीहरूले बेकम्मा अभ्यासहरूको अनुसरण गरे अनि तिनीहरू आफै पनि बेकम्मा भए । तिनीहरूले आफ्नो वरिपरि भएका अरू जातिहरूको अनुसरण गरे जसको नकल्ल नगर्नू भनेर परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूलाई आज्ञा दिनुभएको थियो ।
16 But they forsook all the commandments of Yahweh their God, and made for themselves something molten—two calves, and made a Sacred Stem, and bowed themselves down to all the army of the heavens, and served Baal;
तिनीहरूले परमप्रभु आफ्ना परमेश्वरका सबै आज्ञालाई बेवास्ता गरे । तिनीहरूले पुजा गर्नलाई पिटेर तयार पारिएका धातुको दुईवटा बाछाका बनाए । तिनीहरूले अशेरा देवीको खम्बा बनाए, र तिनीहरूले आकाशका सम्पूर्ण तारा र बालको पुजा गरे ।
17 and made their sons and their daughters pass through the fire, and used divinations and enchantments, and sold themselves to do the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, provoking him to wrath.
तिनीहरूले आफ्ना छोराछोरीलाई आगोमा हिंड्न लगाए, तिनीहरूले जोखना हेर र टुनामुना गरे, तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुको दृष्टिमा जे खराब छ, त्यही गर्न आफैलाई बेचे, र तिनीहरूले उहाँलाई रिस उठाए ।
18 So Yahweh shewed himself exceeding angry with Israel, and removed them from his presence, —there was none left, save the tribe of Judah, alone.
त्यसकारण परमप्रभु इस्राएलसित अत्यन्तै रिसाउनुभयो, र तिनीहरूलाई आफ्नो दृष्टिबाट हटाइदिनुभयो । त्यहाँ यहूदाको कुलबाहेक कोही पनि छोडिएन ।
19 Even Judah, kept not the commandments of Yahweh their God, —but walked in the statutes of Israel, which they had made.
यहूदाले पनि परमप्रभु आफ्ना परमेश्वरका आज्ञाहरू पालन गरेनन्, र तिनीहरूले इस्राएलले गरेका अभ्यासहरूको अनुसरण गरे ।
20 So Yahweh rejected all the seed of Israel, and humiliated them, and delivered them into the hand of spoilers, —until he had cast them out from his presence;
यसैले परमप्रभुले इस्राएलका सबै सन्तानलाई इन्कार गर्नुभयो । उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई कष्ट दिनुभयो, र तिनीहरूलाई आफ्नो दृष्टिबाट नफल्नुभएसम्म उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई लुटको मालको रूपमा अधिकार गर्नेहरूको हातमा सुम्पिनुभयो ।
21 for he rent Israel away from the house of David, and they made Jeroboam son of Nebat, king, —and Jeroboam thrust away Israel from following Yahweh, and caused them to commit a great sin.
उहाँले इस्राएललाई दाऊदको राजकीय वंशबाट अलग गर्नुभयो, र तिनीहरूले नबातका छोरा यारोबामलाई राजा बनाए । यारोबामले इस्राएललाई परमप्रभुको अनुसरण गर्नबाट बहकाए र तिनीहरूलाई ठुलो पाप गर्न लगाए ।
22 And the sons of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam which he had committed, —they turned not away therefrom;
इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले यारोबामका सबै पापको अनुसरण गरे र तिनीहरू ती कुराबाट फर्केनन्,
23 until that Yahweh removed Israel from his presence, according as he spake through all his servants the prophets, —and so Israel was driven away from off their own soil, to Assyria, until this day.
त्यसैले परमप्रभुले आफ्ना सबै सेवक अगमवक्ताहरूद्वारा आफूले गर्छु भन्नुभएझैँ इस्राएललाई आफ्नो दृष्टिबाट हटाउनुभयो । यसरी तिनीहरूको आफ्नै देशबाट इस्राएललाई अश्शूरमा बन्दी बनाएर लगियो, र आजको दिनसम्म पनि त्यस्तै भएको छ ।
24 And the king of Assyria brought [men] from Babylon, and from Cuthah, and from Avvah, and from Hamath, and [from] Sepharvaim, and caused them to dwell in the cities of Samaria, instead of the sons of Israel, —so they took possession of Samaria, and dwelt in the cities thereof.
अश्शूरका राजाले बेबिलोनबाट र कूताबाट र अव्वाबाट हमात र सपर्बेमबाट मानिसहरू ल्याए र इस्राएलका मनिसहरूको साटोमा तिनीहरूलाई सामरियाका सहरहरूमा बसाले । तिनीहरूले सामरिया कब्जा गरे र यसका सहरहरूमा बसे ।
25 And so it was, that, when they first dwelt there, they revered not Yahweh, —therefore Yahweh sent among them, lions, which were slaying them.
तिनीहरूले बसोबाससुरु गर्दा तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुलाई आदर गरेनन् । त्यसैले परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूका बिचमा सिंहहरू पठाउनुभयो जसलेतिनीहरूमा कसैलाई मारे ।
26 Therefore spake they unto the king of Assyria, saying, The nations whom thou hast removed and settled in the cities of Samaria, know not the custom of the God of the land, —and he hath sent among them lions, and lo! they are slaying them, because they know not the custom of the God of the land.
त्यसैले तिनीहरूले अश्शूरका राजालाई यसो भने, “तपाईंले बन्दी बनाएर लैजानुभएका जातिहरू र सामरियाका सहरहरूमा बसोबास गरेका मानिसहरूले यस देशका देवताले चाहेका अभ्यासहरूका जान्दैनन् । त्यसैले उहाँले तिनीहरूका बिचमा सिंहहरू पठाउनुभएको छ, र सिंहहरूले यहाँ मानिसहरूलाई मर्दैछन् किनकि तिनीहरूले यस देशका देवताले चाहेका अभ्यासहरू जान्दैनन् ।”
27 So the king of Assyria commanded, saying—Carry thither, one of the priests, whom ye brought away captive from thence, that they may go, and dwell there, —and teach them the custom of the God of the land.
तब अश्शूरका राजाले यसो भनेर आज्ञा दिए, “तिमीहरूले त्यहाँबाट ल्याएका पुजारीहरूमध्ये एउटालाई लिएर जाओ । तिनी गएर त्यहीँ बसून्, र तिनले त्यस देशका देवताले चाहेका अभ्यासहरू मानिसहरूलाई सिकाऊन् ।”
28 Then came one of the priests whom they had carried away captive from Samaria, and dwelt in Bethel, —and he began teaching them how they should do reverence unto Yahweh.
त्यसैले तिनीहरूले सामरियाबाट बन्दी बनाएर लगेका पुजारीहरूमध्ये एक जना आए र बेथेलमा बसे । तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुलाई कसरी आदर गर्नुपर्छ भनी तिनले तिनीहरूलाई सिकाए ।
29 Howbeit the nations severally were making their own gods, —and did put them in the houses of the high places, which, the Samaritans, had made, each several nation, in their cities wherein, they, were dwelling.
हरेक जातिले आ-आफ्ना देवताहरू बनाए, अनि सामरीहरूले बनाएका उच्च थानहरूमा तिनलाई राखे । आफू बसोबास गर्ने ठाउँमा हरेक जातिले त्यसै गरे ।
30 So then, the men of Babylon, made Succoth-benoth, and, the men of Cuth, made Nergal, and, the men of Hamath, made Ashima:
बेबिलोनका मानिसहरूले सुक्कोन-बनोत बनाए, कूताका मानिसहरूले नेर्गल बनाए, हमातका मानिसहरूले अशीमा बनाए,
31 and, the Avvites, made Nibhaz and Tartak, and, the Sepharvites, did consume their sons in the fire, to Adrammelech and Anammelech gods of Sepharvaim.
अव्वीहरूले नेभज र तर्ताक बनाए । सपर्बेमीहरूले आफ्ना देवता अद्रम्मलेक र अनम्मलेकका निम्ति आफ्ना छोराछोरीलाई आगोमा जलाए ।
32 Thus became they reverers of Yahweh, —and yet made for themselves, from the whole compass of them, priests of high places, who became offerers for them in the house of the high places.
तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुको पनि आदर गरे, र तिनीहरूका बिचबाट उच्च थानहरूमा पुजारीहरू नियुक्त गरे, जसले उच्च स्थानमा निर्मित मन्दिरहरूमा आफ्ना निम्ति बलि चढाए ।
33 Yahweh, were they revering, —and yet, their own gods, were they serving, according to the custom of the nations from whence they had brought them away captive.
तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुलाई आदर गर्थे र जुन जातिहरूबाट आफू ल्याइएका थिए तिनीहरूकै प्रचलनअनुसार आ-आफ्नै देवताहरूको पनि पुज्थे ।
34 Unto this day, are they offering according to the former customs, —they are not revering Yahweh, neither are they offering after their own statutes, or their own custom, nor yet after the law and the commandment which Yahweh commanded the sons of Jacob, whose name he made to be Israel:
आजको दिनसम्म तिनीहरू आफ्ना पुराना प्रचलनहरूमा लागेकै छन् । तिनीहरूले न परमप्रभुलाई आदर गर्छन्, न त परमप्रभुले इस्राएल नाउँ दिनुभएको याकूबका मानिसहरूलाई उहाँले दिनुभएका विधिहरू, उर्दीहरू, व्यवस्था वा आज्ञाहरू नै तिनीहरूले पालन गर्छन्—
35 With, whom, Yahweh solemnised a covenant, and commanded them saying—Ye shall not revere other gods, —nor bow down to them, nor serve them, nor sacrifice to them;
अनि तिनीहरूसित परमप्रभुले करार बाँध्नुभयो र तिनीहरूलाई आज्ञा दिनुभयो, “तिमीहरूले अन्य देवताहरूको भय मान्ने छैनौ, न तिनीहरूको सामु निहुरिनेछौ, न तिनीहरूकको पुजा गर्नेछौ न त तिनीहरूलाई बलि चढाउनेछौ ।
36 But, Yahweh—who brought you up out of the land of Egypt, with great might, and with arm outstretched, him, shall ye revere, —and to him, shall ye bow down, and to him, shall ye sacrifice;
तर महान् शक्ति र उठेका हातहरूले तिमीहरूलाई मिश्रदेशबाट ल्याउनुहुने परमप्रभुलाई मात्र तिमीहरूले आदर गर्नुपर्छ । तिमीहरूले उहाँलाई मात्र दण्डवत् गर्नुपर्छ, र उहाँलाई मात्र बलि चढाउनुपर्छ ।
37 And, the statutes and the regulations, and the law and the commandment, which he wrote for you, shall ye surely observe to do, continually, —So shall ye not revere other gods;
उहाँले तिमीहरूका निम्ति लेख्नुभएका विधिहरू र उर्दीहरू, व्यवस्था र आज्ञाहरूलाई तिमीहरूले सदासर्वदा पालन गर्नेछौ । त्यसैले तिमीहरू अन्य देवताहरूको डर मान्नुहुँदैन,
38 But, the covenant which I have solemnised with you, shall ye not forget, —So shall ye not revere other gods;
र मैले तिमीहरूसित बाँधेको करार तिमीहरूले बिर्सनेछेनौ, न त तिमीहरूले अन्य देवताहरूको आदर गर्नेछौ ।
39 But, Yahweh your God, shall ye revere, —then will, he, deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies.
तर तिमीहरूले आफ्ना परमप्रभु परमेश्वरको आदर गर्नेछौ । उहाँले तिमीहरूका शत्रुहरूको शक्तिबाट तिमीहरूलाई छुटकारा दिनुहुनेछ ।”
40 Howbeit they hearkened not, —but, according to their own former custom, were they offering.
तिनीहरूले यो कुरा सुनेनन्, किनकि तिनीहरूले विगतमा गरेका कुरामा तिनीहरू लागिरहे ।
41 Thus were these nations doing reverence unto Yahweh, and yet, unto their own carved images, were they rendering service, —yea, their sons and their son’s sons, as the fathers offered, so are, they, offering until this day.
यसरी यी जातिहरू परमप्रभुदेखि डराए र आफूले खोपेर बनाएका मूर्तिहरूको पनि तिनीहरूले पुजा गरे, अनि तिनीहरूका छोराछोरी र नातिनातिनाले पनि त्यसै गरे । आजको दिनसम्म आफ्ना पुर्खाहरूले गरेझैँ तिनीहरूले निरन्तर त्यसै गर्दैछन् ।
