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.
Oseas, hijo de Ela, se convirtió en rey de Israel, en el duodécimo año del reinado de Acaz de Judá. Reinó en Samaria durante nueve años.
2 And he did the evil in [the] eyes of Yahweh only not like [the] kings of Israel who they were before him.
Y sus hechos fueron malos alos ojos del Señor, pero no de la misma manera que los reyes de Israel que lo precedieron.
3 On him he came up Shalmaneser [the] king of Assyria and he became of him Hoshea subject and he returned to him tribute.
Salmanasar, rey de Asiria, vino y lo atacó, y Oseas se sometió a él y le pagó tributo.
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.
Pero entonces el rey de Asiria descubrió que Oseas estaba siendo desleal. Oseas había enviado mensajeros a So, rey de Egipto, pidiendo ayuda, y también había dejado de enviar el tributo anual al rey de Asiria como lo había hecho anteriormente. Entonces el rey de Asiria arrestó a Oseas y lo puso en prisión.
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.
Entonces el rey de Asiria invadió todo el país y atacó Samaria, sitiándola durante tres años.
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.
En el noveno año del reinado de Oseas, el rey de Asiria capturó Samaria y deportó a los israelitas a Asiria. Los asentó en Jalaj, en Gozán, sobre el río Jabor, y en las ciudades de los medos.
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.
Todo esto sucedió porque el pueblo de Israel había pecado contra el Señor, su Dios, el que los había sacado de Egipto, salvándolos del poder del faraón, rey de Egipto. Habían adorado a otros dioses,
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.
adoptando los caminos de las naciones que el Señor había expulsado antes de los israelitas, y las prácticas paganas introducidas por los reyes de Israel.
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.
En secreto, los israelitas hicieron cosas que no eran correctas contra el Señor, su Dios. Construyeron lugares altos en todas sus ciudades, desde torres de vigilancia hasta ciudades fortificadas.
10 And they erected for themselves sacred pillars and Asherah poles on every hill high and under every tree luxuriant.
Levantaron pilares de piedra paganos y postes de Asera en todas las colinas altas y bajo todos los árboles verdes.
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.
Ofrecieron sacrificios en todos los lugares altos, como las naciones que el Señor expulsó antes de ellos. Hicieron cosas malas, enojando al Señor.
12 And they served the idols which he had said Yahweh to them not you must do the thing this.
Adoraban a los ídolos, a pesar de que el Señor les había dicho: “No deben hacer eso”.
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.
Sin embargo, el Señor les había advertido repetidamente a Israel y a Judá, por medio de todos sus profetas y videntes, diciendo: “Dejen sus malos caminos y guarden mis mandamientos e instrucciones. Sigan toda la ley que ordené a sus antepasados que obedecieran, y que les di por medio de mis siervos los profetas”.
14 And not they listened and they stiffened neck their like [the] neck of ancestors their who not they trusted in Yahweh God their.
Pero ellos se negaron a escuchar, y fueron tan tercos como sus antepasados, que no confiaron en el Señor, su Dios.
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.
Abandonaron sus reglamentos y el pacto que había hecho con sus antepasados, así como los decretos que les había dado. Siguieron ídolos inútiles y ellos mismos se volvieron inútiles, imitando a las naciones vecinas que el Señor les ordenó no imitar.
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.
Ignoraron todos los mandamientos del Señor, su Dios, y se hicieron dos ídolos de metal, un becerro y un poste de Asera. Se inclinaron en adoración al sol, la luna y las estrellas y sirvieron a Baal.
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.
Sacrificaban a sus hijos e hijas como holocaustos paganos, y practicaban la adivinación y la brujería. Se dedicaron a hacer el mal a los ojos del Señor, haciéndolo enojar.
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.
Así que el Señor se enfadó mucho con Israel, y los desterró de su presencia. Sólo quedó la tribu de Judá,
19 Also Judah not it kept [the] commandments of Yahweh God their and they walked in [the] customs of Israel which they had done.
pero ni siquiera Judá guardó los mandamientos del Señor, su Dios, sino que siguió la idolatría que Israel había introducido.
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.
El Señor se desentendió de todos los descendientes de Israel. Los castigó y los entregó a sus enemigos, hasta que los desterró de su presencia.
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.
Cuando el Señor arrancó a Israel de la casa de David, hicieron rey a Jeroboam, hijo de Nabat. Jeroboam alejó a Israel del Señor y les hizo cometer pecados terribles.
22 And they walked [the] people of Israel in all [the] sins of Jeroboam which he did not they turned aside from it.
Los israelitas siguieron practicando todos los pecados que cometió Jeroboam. No dejaron de cometerlos,
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.
así que el Señor terminó por expulsarlos de su presencia, tal como había dicho que lo haría a través de todos sus siervos, los profetas. Así que los israelitas fueron deportados de su tierra y llevados a Asiria, donde se encuentran hasta hoy.
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.
El rey de Asiria trajo gente de Babilonia, de Cuta, de Avá, de Jamat y de Sefarvaim y los estableció en las ciudades de Samaria en lugar de los israelitas. Ellos se apoderaron de la propiedad de Samaria y vivieron en sus ciudades.
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.
Cuando empezaron a vivir allí no adoraron al Señor, por lo que éste envió leones entre ellos, matando a algunos de ellos.
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.
Entonces fueron a decirle al rey de Asiria: “Los pueblos que tú trajiste y estableciste en las ciudades de Samaria no conocen las reglas del Dios de la tierra. En consecuencia, él ha enviado entre ellos leones que los están matando porque no conocen lo que el Dios de la tierra exige”.
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.
El rey de Asiria dio la orden: “Envía de vuelta a uno de los sacerdotes que deportaste de Samaria, y que vuelva a vivir allí y enseñe las reglas del Dios de la tierra”.
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.
Así que uno de los sacerdotes que había sido deportado de Samaria regresó a vivir en Betel y les enseñó cómo adorar al Señor.
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.
Pero los pueblos de las distintas naciones siguieron haciendo sus propios dioses en las ciudades donde se habían establecido, y los colocaron en los santuarios de los lugares altos que había hecho el pueblo de Samaria.
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.
Los de Babilonia hicieron a Sucot Benot, los de Cuta hicieron a Nergal y los de Jamat hicieron a Asimá.
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)*)
Losavitas hicieron un Nibhaz y un Tartac, y los sefarvitas sacrificaron a sus hijos como holocaustos a sus dioses Adramelec y Anamelec.
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.
Mientras adoraban al Señor, también designaban sacerdotes de toda clase de su propio pueblo para que ofrecieran sacrificios por ellos en los santuarios de los lugares altos.
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.
Así que, aunque adoraban al Señor, también adoraban a sus propios dioses siguiendo las prácticas de sus naciones de origen.
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.
Hasta el día de hoy siguen sus prácticas antiguas. Ninguno de ellos adora verdaderamente al Señor ni observa los reglamentos, requisitos, leyes y mandamientos que el Señor dio a los descendientes de Jacob, al que llamó Israel.
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.
Porque el Señor había hecho un acuerdo con los israelitas, ordenándoles: “No adoren a otros dioses ni se inclinen ante ellos; no les sirvan ni les ofrezcan sacrificios.
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.
Sólo deben adorar al Señor, que los sacó de Egipto, ayudándolos con su gran poder y su fuerte brazo. Inclínense solo ante él y ofrézcanle sacrificios solo a él.
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.
Tengan cuidado siempre de observar los reglamentos, las normas, las leyes y los mandamientos que él te dio por escrito, y no adoren a otros dioses.
38 And the covenant which I made with you not you must forget and not you must fear gods other.
No olviden el acuerdo que he hecho con ustedes, y no adoren a otros dioses.
39 That except Yahweh God your you will fear and he he will deliver you from [the] hand of all enemies your.
Solo deben adorar al Señor, su Dios, y él los salvará de todos sus enemigos”.
40 And not they listened that except according to custom their former they [were] doing.
Pero ellos se negaron a escuchar, y continuaron con sus antiguas prácticas idólatras.
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.
Incluso cuando estas personas de diferentes naciones adoraban al Señor, en realidad estaban adorando a sus ídolos. Sus hijos y nietos siguen haciendo lo mismo que sus antepasados hasta el día de hoy.
