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.
Ní ọdún kejìlá ọba Ahasi ará Juda, Hosea ọmọ Ela jẹ ọba Israẹli ní Samaria, ó sì jẹ fún ọdún mẹ́sàn-án.
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.
Ó sì ṣe búburú ní ojú Olúwa, ṣùgbọ́n kì í ṣe bí i ti ọba Israẹli ẹni tí ó ti wà ṣáájú rẹ̀.
3 Against him, came up Shalmaneser king of Assyria, —and Hoshea became his servant, and rendered him a present.
Ṣalamaneseri ọba Asiria wá sókè láti mú Hosea, ẹni tí ó ti jẹ fún Ṣalamaneseri ó sì ti san owó òde fún un.
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n ọba Asiria rí i wí pé Hosea jẹ́ ọlọ́tẹ̀, nítorí ó ti rán oníṣẹ́ sọ́dọ̀ ọba Ejibiti, kò sì san owó òde mọ́ fún ọba Asiria, gẹ́gẹ́ bí o ti máa ń ṣe ní ọdọọdún. Nígbà náà ọba Asiria fi agbára mú ún, ó sì fi sínú túbú.
5 And the king of Assyria came up throughout all the land, —yea he came up to Samaria, and besieged it three years.
Ọba Asiria gòkè wá sí gbogbo ibi ilé náà, ó sì lọ sí Samaria, ó sì dúró tí ì fún ọdún mẹ́ta.
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.
Ní ọdún kẹsànán ti Hosea, ọba Asiria mú Samaria ó sì kó Israẹli lọ sí Asiria. Ó sì fi wọ́n sílẹ̀ ní Hala, ní Gosani ní etí odò Habori àti ní ìlú àwọn ará Media.
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;
Gbogbo eléyìí ṣẹlẹ̀ nítorí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli ti dẹ́ṣẹ̀ sí Olúwa Ọlọ́run wọn, ẹni tí ó mú wọn jáde ní Ejibiti lábẹ́ agbára Farao ọba Ejibiti. Wọ́n sin ọlọ́run mìíràn,
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.
wọn si tẹ̀lé ìwà orílẹ̀-èdè tí Olúwa ti gbá kúrò níwájú wọn gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìwà ti ọba Israẹli tí ó ti paláṣẹ.
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.
Àwọn ọmọ Israẹli ṣe ohun ìríra sí Olúwa Ọlọ́run wọn kọ́ láti ilé ìṣọ́ sí ìlú tí a dáàbò bò, wọ́n kọ́ ilé gíga fún ara wọn ní gbogbo ìlú wọn.
10 And they set up for themselves pillars and Sacred Stems, upon every high hill, and under every green tree;
Wọ́n sì gbé àwọn òkúta tí a yà sọ́tọ̀ sókè àti ère òrìṣà Aṣerah lórí gbogbo igi tútù.
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;
Ní gbogbo ibi gíga, wọ́n sun tùràrí gẹ́gẹ́ bí orílẹ̀-èdè tí Olúwa ti lé jáde níwájú wọn. Wọ́n ṣe ohun búburú tí ó rú ìbínú Olúwa sókè.
12 and they served the manufactured gods, as to which Yahweh had said to them, Ye shall not do this thing.
Wọ́n sìn òrìṣà, èyí tí Olúwa ti sọ pé, “Ẹ kò gbọdọ̀ ṣe èyí.”
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.
Olúwa kìlọ̀ fún Israẹli àti Juda nípa gbogbo àwọn wòlíì wọn àti aríran: “Ẹ yípadà kúrò ní ọ̀nà búburú yín. Kí ẹ ṣe òfin mi àti ìlànà mi, ní ìbámu pẹ̀lú gbogbo òfin tí Èmi paláṣẹ fún àwọn baba yín láti tẹ̀lé àti èyí tí mo rán sí i yín nípa ìránṣẹ́ àwọn wòlíì mi.”
14 Howbeit they hearkened not, —but stiffened their neck, like the neck of their fathers, who trusted not in Yahweh their God;
Ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò ní gbọ́, wọ́n sì ṣe gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọlọ́rùn líle gẹ́gẹ́ bí i ti baba wọn, ẹni tí kò gbà Olúwa Ọlọ́run wọn gbọ́.
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.
Wọ́n kọ̀ ìlànà rẹ̀ àti májẹ̀mú tí ó ti ṣe pẹ̀lú baba wọn àti ìkìlọ̀ tí ó ti fi fún wọn. Wọ́n tẹ̀lé òrìṣà aláìníláárí, àwọn fún rara wọn sì jẹ́ aláìníláárí. Wọ́n tẹ̀lé orílẹ̀-èdè tí ó yí wọn ká bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé Olúwa ti kìlọ̀ fún wọn pé, “Má ṣe ṣe gẹ́gẹ́ bí wọn tí ń ṣe,” wọ́n sì ṣe ohun tí Olúwa ti kà léèwọ̀ fún wọn láti ṣe.
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;
Wọ́n kọ̀ gbogbo òfin Olúwa Ọlọ́run wọn sílẹ̀, wọ́n sì ṣe òrìṣà méjì fún ara wọn, wọ́n sì gbẹ́ ẹ ọ̀kan ní ère ẹgbọrọ màlúù, àti ọ̀kan ní ère òrìṣà Aṣerah. Wọ́n sì tẹrí wọn ba sí gbogbo ogun ọ̀run, wọ́n sì sin Baali.
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.
Wọ́n sì fi àwọn ọmọkùnrin àti àwọn ọmọbìnrin wọn rú ẹbọ nínú iná. Wọ́n sì ń fọ àfọ̀ṣẹ, wọ́n sì ń ṣe àlúpàyídà wọ́n sì ta ara wọn láti ṣe ohun búburú níwájú Olúwa, wọ́n sì mú un bínú.
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.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Olúwa sì bínú gidigidi pẹ̀lú Israẹli ó sì mú wọn kúrò níwájú rẹ̀. Ẹ̀yà Juda nìkan ṣoṣo ni ó kù,
19 Even Judah, kept not the commandments of Yahweh their God, —but walked in the statutes of Israel, which they had made.
àti pẹ̀lú, Juda kò pa òfin Olúwa Ọlọ́run wọn mọ́. Wọ́n tẹ̀lé ìhùwàsí àwọn Israẹli tí wọ́n ṣe.
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;
Nítorí náà Olúwa kọ gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn Israẹli; ó sì jẹ wọ́n ní yà. Ó sì fi wọ́n lé ọwọ́ àwọn olè títí tí ó fi ta wọ́n nù kúrò níwájú rẹ̀.
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.
Nígbà tí ó ta Israẹli kúrò láti ìdílé Dafidi, wọ́n sì mú Jeroboamu ọmọ Nebati jẹ ọba wọn. Jeroboamu sì mú kí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli yípadà kúrò ní títẹ̀lé Olúwa, ó sí mú kí wọn dẹ́ṣẹ̀ ńlá.
22 And the sons of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam which he had committed, —they turned not away therefrom;
Àwọn ọmọ Israẹli forítì í nínú gbogbo ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ Jeroboamu kò sì yí padà kúrò lọ́dọ̀ wọn,
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.
títí tí Olúwa fi mú wọn kúrò níwájú rẹ̀, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ó ti paláṣẹ láti ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn ìránṣẹ́ wòlíì. Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni a kó gbogbo ènìyàn Israẹli kúrò ní ilẹ̀ wọn lọ sí ìgbèkùn ni Asiria, títí di òní yìí.
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.
Ọba Asiria mú àwọn ènìyàn láti Babeli, Kuta, Afa, Hamati àti Sefarfaimi, wọ́n sì fi wọ́n sínú ìlú Samaria láti rọ́pò àwọn ọmọ Israẹli. Wọ́n sì ń gbé ní ìlú náà.
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.
Nígbà tí wọ́n gbé bẹ̀ ní àkọ́kọ́, wọn kò sì bẹ̀rù Olúwa, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ó rán kìnnìún sí àárín wọn. Wọ́n sì pa nínú wọn.
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.
Wọ́n sì sọ fún ọba Asiria pé, “Àwọn ènìyàn tí ìwọ lé kúrò tí o sì fi sínú ìlú Samaria kò mọ ohun tí ọlọ́run ìlú náà béèrè. Ó sì ti rán kìnnìún sí àárín wọn, tí ó sì ń pa wọ́n run, nítorí ènìyàn wọn kò mọ ohun tí ó béèrè.”
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.
Nígbà náà ọba Asiria pàṣẹ yìí wí pé, “Mú ọ̀kan lára àwọn àlùfáà tí ó mú láti Samaria lọ padà gbé níbẹ̀ kí ó sì kọ́ àwọn ènìyàn ní, ohun tí ọlọ́run ilẹ̀ náà béèrè.”
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.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ọ̀kan lára àwọn àlùfáà tí ó ti kúrò ní Samaria wá gbé ní Beteli ó sì kọ́ wọn bí a ti ń sin Olúwa.
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.
Bí ó tilẹ̀ rí bẹ́ẹ̀, olúkúlùkù orílẹ̀-èdè ṣe òrìṣà tirẹ̀ ní gbogbo ìlú níbi tí wọ́n gbé wà, wọ́n sì gbé wọn nínú ilé òrìṣà àti àwọn ènìyàn Samaria ó sì ṣe wọ́n sí ibi gíga wọ̀n-ọn-nì.
30 So then, the men of Babylon, made Succoth-benoth, and, the men of Cuth, made Nergal, and, the men of Hamath, made Ashima:
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àwọn ọkùnrin láti Babeli ṣe àgọ́ àwọn wúńdíá, àwọn ènìyàn Kuti ṣe òrìṣà Nergali, àti àwọn ènìyàn Hamati ṣe ti Aṣima;
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.
àti àwọn ará Afa ṣe Nibhasi àti Tartaki, àti àwọn ará Sefarfaimi sun àwọn ọmọ wọn níná gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹbọ sí Adrameleki àti Anameleki, àwọn òrìṣà Sefarfaimi.
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.
Wọ́n sin Olúwa, ṣùgbọ́n wọ́n sì tún yan gbogbo ẹgbẹ́ tí ènìyàn wọn láti ṣe iṣẹ́ oyè fún wọn gẹ́gẹ́ bí àlùfáà ní ibi gíga.
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.
Wọ́n sin Olúwa ṣùgbọ́n wọ́n sin òrìṣà wọn ní ìṣọ̀kan pẹ̀lú àṣà orílẹ̀-èdè wọn láti ibi tí wọ́n ti gbé wọn wá.
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:
Láti ìgbà náà wá àwọn àlùfáà wọn ṣe bí ti àtẹ̀yìnwá. Wọn kò sin Olúwa tàbí kí wọ́n fi ara mọ́ ìlànà àti àṣẹ àti òfin tí Olúwa fi fún ìránṣẹ́ Jakọbu, tí wọ́n pe orúkọ rẹ̀ ní Israẹli.
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;
Nígbà tí Olúwa ṣe májẹ̀mú pẹ̀lú àwọn ọmọ Israẹli ó pàṣẹ fún wọn pé, “Ẹ má ṣe sin òrìṣà mìíràn tàbí tẹríba fún wọn, sìn wọ́n tàbí kí ẹ rú ẹbọ sí wọn.
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;
Ṣùgbọ́n Olúwa, ẹni tí ó mú yín gòkè jáde wá láti ilẹ̀ Ejibiti pẹ̀lú agbára ńlá àti nínà apá, òun ni ẹni náà tí ó yẹ kí ẹ sìn. Òun ni ẹni tí ó yẹ kí ẹ tẹríba fún àti sí òun ni kí ẹ rú ẹbọ fún.
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;
Ó yẹ kí ẹ̀yin kí ó máa kíyèsi ara yín gidigidi láti pa ìlànà àti àṣẹ, àti òfin tí ó kọ fún un yín mọ́. Ẹ má ṣe sin ọlọ́run mìíràn.
38 But, the covenant which I have solemnised with you, shall ye not forget, —So shall ye not revere other gods;
Ẹ má ṣe gbàgbé májẹ̀mú tí mo ti ṣe pẹ̀lú yín mọ́ àti kí ẹ má sin ọlọ́run mìíràn.
39 But, Yahweh your God, shall ye revere, —then will, he, deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies.
Kúkú sin Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ; Òun ni ẹni náà tí yóò gbà yín kúrò lọ́wọ́ gbogbo àwọn ọ̀tá a yín.”
40 Howbeit they hearkened not, —but, according to their own former custom, were they offering.
Wọn kò ní gbọ́, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni, wọ́n sì ń ṣe iṣẹ́ wọ́n ti àtijọ́.
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.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àwọn ènìyàn wọn sin Olúwa, wọ́n sì ń sin òrìṣà wọn. Títí di ọjọ́ òní ọmọ wọn àti àwọn ọmọ ọmọ wọn sì ń ṣe bí àwọn baba wọn ti ń ṣe.
