2 Kings 17
1 Elah’s son Hoshea began to rule Israel after King Ahaz had ruled Judah for twelve years. Hoshea ruled in Samaria for nine years.
Yuda hina bagade A: iha: se ea ouligibi ode fagoyale amoga, Housia (Ila egefe) da Isala: ili hina bagade hamoi. E da Samelia moilai bai bagadega esala, ode sesegeyale agoane Isala: ili fi ouligilalu.
2 He did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil, but he did not do as many evil things as the previous kings of Israel had done.
E da Hina Godema wadela: i hou hamoi. Be hina bagade ilia da musa: bisili Isala: ili ouligilalu, amo ilia wadela: i hou defele amai hame.
3 [The army of] King Shalmaneser of Assyria attacked and defeated [the army of] King Hoshea. As a result, the Israelis were forced to pay a lot of tribute/taxes to Assyria each year.
Asilia hina bagade Sia: lama: nisa da ema doagala: beba: le, Housia da goaya: i. Amalalu, e da ode huluane amoga, Sia: lama: nisama su dabe i.
4 But several years later, Hoshea secretly planned to rebel against the rulers of Assyria. He sent messengers to So/Osorkon, the king of Egypt, [asking if his army could help the Israelis fight against the army of Assyria]. Hoshea also stopped paying the tribute/taxes that he had been paying to Assyria every year. But the king of Assyria found out about those things, so he told his officers to put Hoshea in prison.
Be ode afaega, Housia da sia: adola ahoasu dunu, ili Idibidi hina bagade Sou, amo ea fidisu adole ba: ma: ne, asunasi. Amalalu, e da Asilia fima odega su dabe iasu bu hame i. Sia: lama: nisa da amo nababeba: le, ea dunu ilia da Housia gagulaligili, se iasu diasu ganodini sanasi.
5 Then he [brought the army of] Assyria to Israel, and they attacked everywhere in that land. His army surrounded Samaria [city] for three years.
Amalalu, Sia: lama: nisa da Isala: ili soge doagala: le, golili sa: ili, Samelia eale disi. E da ode udiana agoanega Samelia dunu doagala: la afufusu.
6 Finally, after King Hoshea had been ruling Israel for nine years, the army of Assyria [MTY] [forcefully entered] the city [and] captured [the people]. They took the Israeli people to Assyria and forced some of them to live in Halah [town]. They forced others to live near the Habor River in Gozan district. They forced others to live in the towns where the Mede people-group lived.
Amo ode ganodini, (Housia ea ouligibi ode sesegeyale gala) Asilia hina bagade da Samelia hasalalu, fedelai. E da Isala: ili dunu udigili hawa: hamoma: ne, Asilia sogega mugululi asi. Ea sia: beba: le, Isala: ili mugululi asi dunu mogili da Ha: ila sogega fi galu, mogili da Gousa: ne soge (Ha: ibo Hano gadenene) amola mogili da Midia soge moilai amo ganodini fi.
7 Those things happened because the Israeli people had sinned against Yahweh their God. He had rescued their [ancestors] from the power [MTY] of the king of Egypt and brought them [safely] out of Egypt, but later they began to worship other gods.
Samelia moilai bai bagade hasali ea bai da Isala: ili dunu ilia da ilia Hina Godema wadela: le hamoi. Musa: , Hina Gode da ili Idibidi hina bagadema gaga: le, Isala: ili dunu ilia Idibidi soge fisimusa: gadili oule asi. Be amo mae dawa: le, ilia Ema wadela: le hamoi. Ilia da ogogosu ‘gode’ma nodone sia: ne gadosu.
8 They imitated the things that the heathen/pagan people-groups did. Those were the groups that Yahweh had expelled as the Israelis occupied their land. The Israeli people also did the evil things that the kings of Israel (introduced/showed to them).
Ga: ina: ne soge fi musa: esalu dunu da wadela: i hou bagadedafa hamobeba: le, Isala: ili dunu da gusuba: i mogodigili ahoanoba, Hina Gode da Ga: ina: ne dunu gadili sefasi. Be Isala: ili fi dunu da Ga: ina: ne fi ilia wadela: i hou defele hamoi. Amola Isala: ili hina bagade ilia da ga fi ilia wadela: i hou hamoiba: le, Isala: ili fi dunu da amo fa: no bobogesu.
9 The Israeli people also secretly did many things that were not pleasing to Yahweh their God. They built shrines [to worship idols] in all their cities, including small towns and big cities with walls around them.
Isala: ili fi dunu da Hina Gode Ea higa: i ba: su hou, amo hamosu. Ilia da ilia moilai huluane, fonobahadi amola bagade, amo ganodini ogogosu ‘gode’ma nodone sia: ne gadosu sogebi gaguli gagai.
10 They set up stone pillars [to honor gods], and poles [to worship the goddess] Asherah at the top of every high hill and under every [big] tree.
Agolo huluane da: iya amola ifa huluane ougiha, ilia da gele golasu ifa amola wadela: i uda ‘gode’ Asila agoaila hahamone, bugisisi.
11 The Israelis burned incense in every place where they worshiped those gods, just like the people-groups who lived there previously had done—the groups that Yahweh had expelled from the land. The Israelis did many wicked things that caused Yahweh to become angry.
Wadela: i fi dunu amo Hina Gode da Isala: ili sogega gadili sefasi, ilia wadela: i hou defele, Isala: ili dunu da ogogosu ‘gode’ ilia oloda da: iya, gabusiga: manoma gobele salalusu. Ilia wadela: le bagadewane hamobeba: le, Hina Gode da ougi bagade ba: i.
12 Yahweh warned them many times that they should not worship idols, but they did it anyway.
Hina Gode da ilima ogogole ‘gode’ agoai ilima mae nodone sia: ne gadoma: ne sia: i. Be ilia da Hina Gode Ea hamoma: ne sia: i hamedafa nabi.
13 Yahweh frequently sent his prophets and (seers/those who saw visions from Yahweh) to warn the people of Israel and the people of Judah. The message that Yahweh gave them was, “Turn away from all your evil behavior. Obey my commands and my laws, the laws that I told your ancestors [to obey] and which I told the prophets who served me to tell to you [again].”
Hina Gode da musa: Ea sia: adola ahoasu dunu amola balofede dunu ili Isala: ili fi amola Yuda fi ilima sisane amane sia: ma: ne asunasi. “Dilia wadela: i hou yolesili, Na hamoma: ne sia: i nabawane hamoma! Na hamoma: ne sia: i huluane da Sema (amo Na da Na hawa: hamosu balofede dunu ilia lafidili dilia aowalalima iasu) amo ganodini dedei diala.”
14 But the Israeli people would not pay attention. They were stubborn [IDM] just like their ancestors were. Just like their ancestors did, they refused to believe in Yahweh their God.
Be ilia da nabasu hou hamedafa dawa: i. Ilia aowalalia da Hina Gode Ea hou dafawaneyale hame dawa: i, amola Isala: ili fifi misi dunu da ilia hou defele, gawamaga: i.
15 They rejected Yahweh’s laws and the agreement that he had made with their ancestors. They ignored Yahweh’s warnings. They worshiped worthless idols and as a result they themselves became worthless. Although Yahweh had commanded them not to imitate the evil behavior of the people-groups that lived near them, they disobeyed that command.
Ilia Hina Gode Ea hamoma: ne sia: i hame nabasu. Ilia da hamedei loboga hamoi ‘gode’ agoaila ilima nodone sia: ne gadoiba: le, ilisu da hamedei dunu agoai ba: i. Ilia da fifilai ilia soge sisiga: le dialu, amo ilia hou fa: no bobogei. Ilia da Hina Gode Ea hamoma: ne sia: i, “Ga fi ilia hou defele mae hamoma!” amo nabawane hame hamosu.
16 The Israeli people disobeyed all of Yahweh’s commands. They made two metal calves [to worship]. They set up two poles [to worship the goddess] Asherah, and they worshiped [the god] Baal, and the sun, the moon, and the stars.
Ilia da ilia Hina Gode Ea sema huluane fi dagoi. Ilia da amoma nodone sia: ne gadomusa: , bulamagau gawali mano aduna gouliga hamoi. Amola ilia da ogogosu uda ‘gode’ Asila e agoaila hamoi, amola gasumuni ilima nodone sia: ne gadosu, amola ogogosu ‘gode’ Ba: ilema hawa: hamosu.
17 They also burned their own sons and daughters to be sacrifices [to those gods]. They went to fortune-tellers and they practiced sorcery. They continually chose [MET] to do [all kinds of] evil things that caused Yahweh to become angry.
Ilia da ilia dunu mano amola ilia uda mano amo ogogosu ‘gode’ma wadela: i hou dabe ima: ne, gobele salalusu. Ilia da gesami dasu amola wadela: i ba: la: lusu dunu, ilima fada: i sia: nabi. Ilia eno liligi mae dawa: le, Hina Gode ba: ma: ne, wadela: i hou fawane hamonanusu. Amaiba: le, Hina Gode da ougi ba: i.
18 So, because Yahweh was very angry with the Israeli people, he allowed [their enemies] to take them away [from their country]. Only the people of the tribe of Judah were left [in the land].
Hina Gode da Isala: ili fi ilima ougiba: le, E da ili bu mae ba: ma: ne, ili mugululi ga asunasi. Yuda fi fawane da ilia soge ganodini esalebe ba: i.
19 But even the people of Judah did not obey the commands of Yahweh their God. They imitated the evil customs that the Israelis had introduced.
Be Yuda fi amolawane da ilia Hina Gode Ea sema nabawane hame hamosu. Ilia da Isala: ili fi ilia hou lalegagui, amo ba: beba: le, defele hamoi.
20 So Yahweh rejected all the people of Israel and of Judah. He punished them by allowing the armies of other nations to defeat them [and take them away]. He got rid of all of them.
Hina Gode da Isala: ili fi higale, ilima dawa: ma: ne se dabe i, amola E da logo doasiba: le, dodona: gi ha lai dunu da ilima se bagade iasu. Amalalu, E da ili bu mae ba: ma: ne, ili mugululi ga asunasi.
21 Earlier, when Yahweh allowed the people of Israel to separate/break away from the area [MTY] that King David [had estabished], they chose Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, to be their king. Then Jeroboam enticed the people of Israel to stop worshiping Yahweh [and to worship idols instead]. He led them to commit great sins.
Hina Gode da Isala: ili mogili, na: iyado Isala: ili amola na: iyado Yuda hamonanu, Isala: ili fi da Yelouboua: me (Niba: de egefe) ilia hina bagade hamoi. Yelouboua: me da ili Hina Gode yolesima: ne hamoi, amola wadela: i hou baligili hamoma: ne, ili oule asi.
22 And the Israeli people continued to do the evil things that Jeroboam introduced. They did not turn away from those sins,
Ilia da Yelouboua: mema fa: no bobogele, wadela: i hou huluane ea hamosu, amo defele hamoi.
23 until finally Yahweh got rid of them. That was just what his prophets had warned would happen. The Israeli people were taken away to the land of Assyria, and they still remain there.
Amalalu, fa: no Hina Gode da E da musa: Ea balofede dunu amodili sisai defele, ili ba: mu higa: iba: le, ilia sogega fadegale, mugululi ga asunasi.
24 The king of Assyria [ordered his soldiers to] take [groups of] people from Babylon, Cuthah, Avva, Hamath, and Sepharvaim [cities] to [the] Samaria [region], and to resettle them in the towns there, to take the place of the Israelis [who lived there previously]. Those people took control over [the whole] Samaria [region] and lived in the towns there.
Asilia hina bagade da Isala: ili dunu Samelia soge ganodini esalu, mugululi Asilia sogega asunasi. Amalalu, e da Asilia dunu amo da Ba: bilone, Giudia, Aifa, Ha: ima: de, Sefafa: ime amo ganodini esalu, amo dunu lale, ili huluane Samelia soge ganodini ha: ini fima: ne oule asi. Ilia da Samelia soge moilai huluane lale, amo ganodini ha: ini fi.
25 But those people [who came from other countries] did not worship Yahweh when they first arrived in Samaria. So Yahweh sent lions to kill some of them.
Ilia da degabo ha: ini fisia, ilia da Hina Godema hame nodone sia: ne gadosu. Amaiba: le, Hina Gode da laione wa: me asunasili, ili mogili fane legei.
26 Then those people sent a message to the king of Assyria. They wrote, “We people who have resettled in the towns in Samaria do not know how to worship the God [that the Israelis worshiped] in this land. So he has sent lions among us to kill us, because we have not worshiped him correctly.”
Asilia hina bagade da dunu e da Samelia soge ganodini ha: ini fima: ne asunasi, amo da Samelia sogega Gode sema amo noga: le hame dawa: beba: le, amo Gode da ili medoma: ne laione wa: me asunasi, amane sia: nabi.
27 [When] the king of Assyria [read this letter, he] commanded [his officers], “You brought many priests here from Samaria. Send one of them back there. Tell him to teach the people who are now living there how to worship correctly the God whom the Israelis worshiped in that land.”
Amaiba: le, e da amane hamoma: ne sia: i, “Gobele salasu dunu amo nini gagulaligisa, niniga afae bu asunasima. E da Samelia sogega bu fimusa: ahoanoba, e da ninia dunuma, Samelia soge fi ilia sema noga: le olelema: ne sia: ma!”
28 So [the officers did that]. They sent one of the Israeli priests back to Samaria. That priest went to live in Bethel [city], and he taught the people there how to worship Yahweh.
Amaiba: le, Isala: ili mugululi asi gobele salasu dunu afae da Bedele moilaiga buhagi. Amogawi, e da dunu ilima Hina Godema nodone sia: ne gadosu hou olelei.
29 But the people [who returned from Babylon and started to live in Samaria and] continued to make their own idols. They placed them in the shrines that the Israelis had built there. The people of each people-group made idols in the cities in which they were living.
Be Asilia dunu amo da Samelia ganodini ha: ini fi, ilia da mae fisili, ilia loboga hamoi ‘gode’ liligi hamosu. Ilia da amo liligi ilima nodone sia: ne gadosu sogebi amo Isala: ili dunu da hamoi, amo ganodini sali. Momogi afae afae da loboga hamoi ‘gode’ afae afae ilia esalebe moilai ganodini hahamoi.
30 The people from Babylon made idols to represent their god Succoth-Benoth. The people from Cuthah made idols to represent their god Nergal. The people from Hamath made idols to represent their god Ashima.
Ba: bilonega misi dunu da ogogosu ‘gode’ Sagode Binode amo agoaila hahamoi. Guidiaga misi dunu da ogogosu ‘gode’ Na: igale amo agoaila hahamoi. Ha: ima: dega misi dunu da ogogosu ‘gode’ Asiaima amo agoaila hahamoi.
31 The people of Avva made idols to represent their gods Nibhaz and Tartak. The people from Sepharvaim sacrificed their own children. They completely burned them [in pits where hot fires were kept burning, ] as offerings to their gods Adrammelech and Anammelech.
Aifaga misi dunu da ogogosu ‘gode’ Nibiha: se amola Dada: ge elea agoaila hahamoi. Amola Sefafa: imega misi dunu da ilia ogogosu ‘gode’ aduna, Ana: melege amola A: dala: melege elama ilia mano gobele salalusu.
32 But those people also worshiped Yahweh, and they appointed from among their own groups many people to be priests at the shrines on the tops of the hills, in order that those priests could offer sacrifices for them there.
Amo dunu huluane da Hina Godema amolawane nodone sia: ne gadoi. Ilia da ilia gilisisu amoga dunu amo gobele salasu dunu hamoma: ne udigili ilegei. Amo dunu da ilia ogogosu ‘gode’ oloda amoga gobele salasu hou hamonanusu.
33 So they revered Yahweh, but they also worshiped their own gods, just as the people living in the countries from which they had been taken to Samaria did.
Amaiba: le, ilia da Hina Godema nodone sia: ne gadosu, be ilia da soge fi amoga ilia misi, amo ilia hou defele, ogogosu ‘gode’ ilima gilisili nodone sia: ne gadosu.
34 They still keep their old customs. They really do not worship Yahweh, and they do not obey all the laws and commands that Yahweh gave to the descendants of Jacob, to whom he gave the new name Israel.
Amola ilia da amogainini wali eso amola ilia musa: hou hamonana. Ilia da Hina Godema nodone sia: ne gadosu hame hamosa. Amola ilia da sema amola hamoma: ne sia: i amo E da Ya: igobe (Gode da ema Isala: ili dio asuli) amo egaga fima i, amo ilia da nabawane hame hamosa.
35 Yahweh had previously made an agreement with their ancestors, commanding them not to worship other gods or bow down to honor them or do other things to please them or offer sacrifices to them.
Hina Gode da musa: Isala: ili dunuma gousa: su hamoi. Amola E da ilima amane hamoma: ne sia: i, “Eno ‘gode’ ilima mae nodone sia: ne gadoma. Ilima mae beguduma, amola ilima gobele salasu hou mae hamoma!
36 He had said to them, “You must have an awesome respect for me, Yahweh, the one who brought you out of Egypt with my very great power [DOU]. I am the one whom you must bow down to honor, and I am the one to whom you must offer sacrifices.
Na, Hina Godedafa, da gasa bagadewane dili Idibidi sogega esalu, gadili oule asi. Amaiba: le, dilia Na hamoma: ne sia: i fawane nabima! Dilia Nama fawane beguduma, amola Nama fawane gobele salasu hamoma!
37 You must always obey the laws and commands that I [told Moses to] write for you. You must not worship other gods.
Dilia eso huluane, sema amola hamoma: ne sia: i, Na da dilia dawa: ma: ne dedei, amo huluane nabawane hamoma! Eno ‘gode’ma nabasu hou maedafa hamoma!
38 And you must not forget the agreement that I made with your ancestors. You must not revere other gods.
Amola gousa: su amo Na da dilima hamoi, amo maedafa gogolema!
39 Instead, you must revere me, Yahweh, your God. If you do that, I will rescue you from the power [MTY] of all your enemies.”
Na da dilia Hina Godedafa! Na sia: fawane nabima! Amasea, Na da dilima ha lai dunu amoga gaga: mu.”
40 But the people [from those foreign nations] would not heed what Yahweh said. Instead, they continued to adhere to their old customs.
Be eno Samelia sogega misi dunu da Gode Ea Sia: nabimu higa: i. Ilia da mae fisili, ilia musa: hou hamonanusu.
41 So, they worshiped Yahweh, but they also worshiped their idols. And their descendants still do the same thing.
Amaiba: le, amo dunu da Hina Godema nodone sia: ne gadoi, amola gilisili ilia ogogosu loboga hamoi ‘gode’, ilima nodone sia: ne gadosu. Amola amogainini wali eso iligaga fi da amaiwane hamosa.
