2 Kings 17
1 In year two [plus] ten of Ahaz [the] king of Judah he became king Hoshea [the] son of Elah in Samaria over Israel nine years.
猷大王阿哈次十二年，厄拉的兒子曷舍亞在撒瑪黎雅登極為以色列王，在位凡九年。
2 And he did the evil in [the] eyes of Yahweh only not like [the] kings of Israel who they were before him.
他行了上主視為惡的事，但不像他以前的以色列列王。
3 On him he came up Shalmaneser [the] king of Assyria and he became of him Hoshea subject and he returned to him tribute.
亞述王沙耳瑪乃色上來攻打曷舍亞，他便向亞述王稱臣納貢。
4 And he found [the] king of Assyria in Hoshea treason that he had sent messengers to So [the] king of Egypt and not he had brought up tribute to [the] king of Assyria as a year in a year and he arrested him [the] king of Assyria and he confined him [the] house of imprisonment.
後來亞述王發覺曷舍亞企圖造反。原來曷舍亞曾派使者去見埃及王索阿，就不再向亞述王每年納貢，所以亞述王將他拘捕，囚在監裡。
5 And he came up [the] king of Assyria in all the land and he came up Samaria and he laid siege on it three years.
隨後，亞述王進軍侵入全國，直逼撒瑪黎雅，圍攻了三年。
6 In [the] year ninth of Hoshea he captured [the] king of Assyria Samaria and he took into exile Israel Assyria towards and he caused to dwell them in Halah and on [the] Habor [the] river of Gozan and [the] cities of Media.
曷舍亞九年，亞述王攻陷了撒瑪黎雅，把以色列人擄往亞述，把他們安置在哈拉黑和靠近哥倉河的哈波爾，以及瑪待各城。
7 And it was that they had sinned [the] people of Israel to Yahweh God their who had brought up them from [the] land of Egypt from under [the] hand of Pharaoh [the] king of Egypt and they had feared gods other.
這是因為以色列子民犯罪，得罪了領他們離開埃及地，擺脫埃及王法郎之手的上主，他們的天主，而去敬拜了別的神，
8 And they had walked in [the] customs of the nations which he had dispossessed Yahweh from before [the] people of Israel and [the] kings of Israel which they had done.
隨從了上主由以色列子民面前，所驅逐的異民的習俗，和以色列列王所規定的律例。
9 And they did secretly [the] people of Israel things which [were] not right on Yahweh God their and they built for themselves high places in all cities their from a tower of watchmen unto a city of fortification.
以色列子民作了不義的事，得罪了上主他們的天主：在他們所有的城中，從守望台直到設防的城，到處建有高丘；
10 And they erected for themselves sacred pillars and Asherah poles on every hill high and under every tree luxuriant.
在各高崗上，在所有的綠樹下，豎有石柱和木偶；
11 And they made smoke there at all [the] high places like the nations which he had taken into exile Yahweh from before them and they did things evil to provoke to anger Yahweh.
在高丘上，依照上主從他們面前所驅逐的異民的習俗，焚香獻祭，作惡激怒上主；
12 And they served the idols which he had said Yahweh to them not you must do the thing this.
又敬拜偶像，雖然天主曾明明吩咐他們說：你們不可行這樣的事!
13 And he warned Yahweh Israel and Judah by [the] hand of every ([the] prophets *Q(K)*) every seer saying turn back from ways your evil and keep commandments my statutes my according to all the law which I commanded ancestors your and which I sent to you by [the] hand of servants my the prophets.
上主曾藉眾先知和先見者警告以色列和猶大說：「你們應離棄你們的邪道，按照我給你們祖先所規定的，藉我的僕人，眾先知給你們傳授的一切法律，遵守我的誡命和我的法令。」
14 And not they listened and they stiffened neck their like [the] neck of ancestors their who not they trusted in Yahweh God their.
他們卻不聽從，如同他們的祖先一樣執拗，不肯相信上主他們的天主，
15 And they rejected statutes his and covenant his which he had made with ancestors their and testimonies his which he warned them and they walked after vanity and they became vain and after the nations which [were] around them which he had commanded Yahweh them to not to do like them.
拒絕了上主的法律和他與他們祖先所訂立的盟約，以及對他們所發出的警告；隨從他們四周上主曾命令他們不可效法的異民，追求虛無，自己成為虛無；
16 And they forsook all [the] commandments of Yahweh God their and they made for themselves a molten image (two *Q(K)*) calves and they made an Asherah pole and they bowed down to all [the] host of the heavens and they served Baal.
拋棄了上主他們天主的一切命令，為自己鑄造神像，即兩個牛犢，製造木偶，敬拜天上萬象，事奉巴耳，
17 And they made pass sons their and daughters their in the fire and they divined divinations and they practiced divination and they sold themselves to do the evil in [the] eyes of Yahweh to provoke to anger him.
使兒女經火獻神，行占卜和法術，出賣自己，行上主視為惡的事，激怒上主；
18 And he was angry Yahweh very with Israel and he removed them from on face his not anyone was left only [the] tribe of Judah to only it.
因此，上主對以色列大發憤怒，將他們從自己面前趕走，只留下了猶大支派。
19 Also Judah not it kept [the] commandments of Yahweh God their and they walked in [the] customs of Israel which they had done.
但是，猶大也沒有遵守上主，他們天主的命令，反而也隨從了以色列所行的習俗。
20 And he rejected Yahweh all [the] offspring of Israel and he afflicted them and he gave them in [the] hand of plunderers until that he threw them from before him.
為此，上主拋棄了以色列所有的後裔，使他們受壓迫，任人宰割，終於將他們從自己面前趕走。
21 If he tore Israel from with [the] house of David and they made king Jeroboam [the] son of Nebat (and he enticed away *Q(K)*) Jeroboam Israel from after Yahweh and he caused to sin them a sin great.
的確，自從上主使以色列與達味家分裂以後，以色列便立了乃巴特的兒子雅洛貝罕為王；雅洛貝罕即引以色列遠離了上主，使他們陷於重罪。
22 And they walked [the] people of Israel in all [the] sins of Jeroboam which he did not they turned aside from it.
以色列子民遂追隨雅洛貝罕所犯的一切罪惡，始終沒有離開，
23 Until that he removed Yahweh Israel from on face his just as he had spoken by [the] hand of all servants his the prophets and it went into exile Israel from on land its Assyria towards until the day this.
直到上主將以色列從自己面前趕走，正如上主藉自己的僕人眾先知所說的話。因此，以色列由本國被擄往亞述，直到今日。
24 And he brought [people] [the] king of Assyria from Babylon and from Cuthah and from Avva and from Hamath and Sepharvaim and he caused [them] to dwell in [the] cities of Samaria in place of [the] people of Israel and they took possession of Samaria and they dwelt in cities its.
亞術王從巴比倫、雇特、阿瓦、哈瑪特和色法瓦因徙置一些人民，住在撒瑪黎雅各城，以代替以色列人；這些人佔據了撒瑪黎雅，就住在各城內。
25 And it was at [the] beginning of dwelling they there not they feared Yahweh and he sent Yahweh among them lions and they were killing in them.
他們起初住在那裡的時候，因為不敬畏上主，所以上主打發獅子來，咬死了他們一些人。
26 And people said to [the] king of Assyria saying the nations which you took into exile and you caused to dwell in [the] cities of Samaria not they know [the] custom of [the] god of the land and he has sent among them lions and there they [are] killing them since not they [are] knowing [the] custom of [the] god of the land.
有人報告亞述王說：「你在撒瑪黎雅各城徙置的人民，不知敬拜土神的禮儀，因此那神打發獅子來咬死了他們一些人，因為他們不知敬拜土神的禮儀。」
27 And he commanded [the] king of Assyria saying take there towards one from the priests whom you took into exile from there so they may go and they may dwell there so he may teach them [the] custom of [the] god of the land.
亞述王於是下令說：「你們叫一個從撒瑪黎雅擄來的司祭回去，住在那裡，教給他們敬拜土神的禮儀。」
28 And he went one from the priests whom they had taken into exile from Samaria and he dwelt in Beth-el and he was teaching them how? will they fear Yahweh.
於是，有一個從撒瑪黎雅擄去的司祭回來，住在貝特耳，教給他們該怎麼敬拜雅威。
29 And they were making nation nation own gods its and they placed [them] - in [the] house of the high places which they had made the Samaritans nation nation in own cities their where they [were] dwelling there.
雖然如此，各個民族仍然製造自己的神，供在撒瑪黎雅人所建築的高丘上的廟宇中；各個民族在自己所住的城內，供著自己的神。
30 And [the] people of Babylon they made Succoth Benoth and [the] people of Cuthah they made Nergal and [the] people of Hamath they made Ashima.
巴比倫人製造了穌苛特貝諾特，雇特人製造了乃爾加耳，哈瑪特人製造了阿史瑪，
31 And the Avvites they made Nibhaz and Tartak and the Sepharvites [were] burning children their in the fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech ([the] gods of Sepharvaim. *Q(K)*)
阿瓦人製造了尼貝哈次和塔爾塔克，色法瓦因人使兒女經火，獻於色法瓦因的神阿德辣默肋客和阿納默肋客；
32 And they were fearing Yahweh and they appointed for themselves from among themselves priests of [the] high places and they were offering for them in [the] house of the high places.
同時他們也敬拜上主，從自己中間選派一些人作高丘上的司祭，在高丘上的廟宇內自己獻祭。
33 Yahweh they were fearing and own gods their they were serving according to [the] custom of the nations which they had taken into exile them from there.
這樣，他們也敬拜上主，也奉事自己的神，從那一國徙置而來的，就照那一國的禮儀。
34 Until the day this they [are] doing according to the customs former not they [are] fearing Yahweh and not they [are] doing according to statutes their and according to judgment their and according to the law and according to the commandment which he commanded Yahweh [the] descendants of Jacob whom he made name his Israel.
直到今日，他們仍然依照先前的禮儀而行。雅各伯──上主給他改名為以色列──的子孫，也不全心敬畏上主，也不按照上主給他們所立的條例、禮儀、法律和誡命而行。
35 And he made Yahweh with them a covenant and he commanded them saying not you must fear gods other and not you must bow down to them and not you must serve them and not you must sacrifice to them.
上主曾與他們立約，吩咐他們說：「你們不可敬拜別的神，也不可跪拜，也不可事奉，也不可向他們獻祭；
36 That except Yahweh who he brought up you from [the] land of Egypt with power great and by an arm outstretched him you will fear and to him you will bow down and to him you will sacrifice.
只應敬拜那以強力和伸展的手臂，領你們離開埃地的上主，只應向他跪拜，向他獻祭。
37 And the statutes and the judgments and the law and the commandment which he wrote for you you will take care! to do all the days and not you must fear gods other.
我為你們寫定的條例、禮儀、法律和誡命，要時常謹守遵行，不可敬拜別的神。
38 And the covenant which I made with you not you must forget and not you must fear gods other.
我與你們立的盟約，不要忘記，也不要敬拜別的神，
39 That except Yahweh God your you will fear and he he will deliver you from [the] hand of all enemies your.
只應敬拜上主你們的天主，他必拯救你們脫離你們一切仇敵的權勢。」
40 And not they listened that except according to custom their former they [were] doing.
然而，他們不聽，仍然依照他們先前的禮儀而行。
41 And they were - the nations these fearing Yahweh and idols their they were serving also children their - and [the] children of children their just as they did fathers their they [are] doing until the day this.
這樣，這些人民敬拜上主，又事奉他們的雕像；他們的子子孫孫也是如此：祖先怎樣行，子孫也怎樣行，直到今日。
