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.
I KA makahiki umikumamalua o Ahaza ke alii o ka Iuda, i lilo ai o Hosea ke keiki a Ela i alii ma Samaria maluna o ka Iseraela i na makahiki eiwa.
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.
A hana ino aku la ia imua o Iehova, aole nae i like me na'lii o ka Iseraela mamua ona.
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.
Hele ku e mai la o Salemanesera ke alii o Asuria ia ia; a lilo o Hosea i kauwa nana, a hookupu aku nona.
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.
A ike iho la ke alii o Asuria i ka manao o Hosea e kipi; no ka mea, ua hoouna aku ia i na elele ia So, ke alii o Aigupita, aole hoi ia i hookupu no ke alii o Asuria i kela makahiki keia makahiki; nolaila hoopaa aku la ke alii o Asuria ia ia, a hahao ia ia iloko o ka halepaahao.
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.
Alaila pii mai la ke alii o Asuria maloko o ka aina a pau, a hele mai i Samaria, a hoopilikia aku la ia wahi i na makahiki ekolu.
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.
I ka makahiki eiwa o Hosea, hoopio aku la ke alii o Asuria ia Samaria, a lawe pio aku la i ka Iseraela i Asuria, a hoonoho iho la ia lakou ma Hala, a ma Habora ma ka muliwai o Gozana, a ma na kulanakauhale o ko Media.
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.
No ka mea, ua hana hewa na mamo a Iseraela ia Iehova ko lakou Akua, nana lakou i lawe ae mai ka aina o Aigupita mai, mai lalo mai o ka lima o Parao, ke alii o Aigupita, a ua malama lakou i na akua e.
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).
A ua hele lakou ma na kanawai o na lahuikanaka e, na mea a Iehova i kipaku ae mai ke alo aku o na mamo a Iseraela, a me ko na'lii o ka Iseraela a lakou i hana'i.
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.
A ua hana malu na mamo a Iseraela i na mea pono ole ia Iehova ko lakou Akua, a ua hana no lakou i na heiau ma ko lakou mau kulanakauhale a pau, mai ka puu kaua o ka poe kiai, a hiki i ke kulanakauhale paa i ka papohaku.
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.
A kukulu lakou i na kii, i na kii hoi o Aseterota, ma na puu kiekie a pau, a malalo o na laau uliuli a pau.
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.
A malaila lakou i kuni ai i ka mea ala ma na heiau a pau, e like me na lahuikanaka a Iehova i kipaku ae mai ko lakou alo aku; a hana lakou i na mea ino e hoonaukiuki aku ia Iehova.
12 Yahweh warned them many times that they should not worship idols, but they did it anyway.
A malama lakou i na kii, i na mea a Iehova i i mai ai, Mai hana oukou i keia mea.
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].”
Aka, ua ao mai no o Iehova i ka Iseraela, a i ka Iuda, ma na kaula a pau, ma na mea ike a pau, i ka i ana mai, E huli mai oukou mai ko oukou aoao hewa mai, a e malama i ka'u mau kauoha, i ko'u mau kanawai, e like me ke kanawai a pau a'u i kauoha aku ai i ko oukou poe kupuna, a ma ka mea a'u i hoouna aku ai ma ka'u poe kauwa ma na kaula.
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.
Aole nae lakou i malama, hooolea lakou i ko lakou a-i, e like me ka a-i o ko lakou poe kupuna, ka poe manaoio ole ia Iehova ko lakou Akua.
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.
A hoowahawaha lakou i kona mau kanawai, a me kana berita ana i hana'i me ko lakou poe kupuna, a me na kauoha ana i haawi mai ai ia lakou; a hele lakou mamuli o na kii lapuwale, a lilo lakou i poe lapuwale, a hele mamuli o na lahuikanaka e puni ana ia lakou, na mea a Iehova i kauoha mai ai, mai hana like oukou me lakou.
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.
A haalele lakou i na kauoha a pau a Iehova ko lakou Akua, a hana no lakou i kii i hooheeheeia, i elua keikibipi, a hana lakou i kii no Aseterota, a hoomana lakou i na puali o ka lani, a malama lakou ia Baala.
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.
A kaumaha aku i ka lakou poe keikikane, a me ka lakou poe kaikamahine i ke ahi, a hana lakou i ka anaana hookilokilo, a hoolilo lakou ia lakou iho e hana hewa imua o Iehova, e hoonaukiuki ia ia.
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].
No ia mea, inaina nui mai la o Iehova i ka Iseraela, a hookuke aku la ia lakou mai kona maka aku; aohe mea i koe, o ka ohana o ka Iuda wale no.
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.
Aole no hoi i malama ka Iuda i na kauoha a Iehova ko lakou Akua; aka, hele no lakou ma na kanawai o ka Iseraela a lakou i hana'i.
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.
A hoowahawaha o Iehova i na mamo a pau a Iseraela, a hookaumaha ia lakou, a haawi aku ia lakou iloko o ka lima o ka poe luku wale, a pau lakou i ka hooleiia'ku e ia mai kona maka aku.
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.
No ka mea, hoonahae ae la ia i ka Iseraela mai ko ka hale o Davida aku; a hooalii lakou ia Ieroboama ke keiki a Nebata: a hookuke aku la o Ieroboama i ka Iseraela mai ka hahai ana ia Iehova, a hoolilo ia lakou i ka hewa nui.
22 And the Israeli people continued to do the evil things that Jeroboam introduced. They did not turn away from those sins,
No ka mea, hele no na mamo a Iseraela iloko o na hewa a pau o Ieroboama ana i hana'i; aole lakou i haalele ia mea;
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.
A hiki i ka wa a Iehova i hoonee aku ai i ka Iseraela mai kona maka aku, e like me kana i olelo mai ai ma kana poe kauwa a pau, ma na kaula. A laweia'ku ka Iseraela mai kona aina aku i Asuria, a hiki i keia la.
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.
A lawe mai ke alii o Asuria [i na kanaka] mai Babulona mai, a mai Kuta mai, a mai Ava mai, a mai Hamata mai, a mai Separevaima mai, a hoonoho ia lakou ma na kulanakauhale o Samaria, ma kahi o na mamo a Iseraela; a komo lakou i Samaria, a noho iho la ma kona mau kulanakauhale.
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.
A i ko lakou hoomaka ana e noho malaila, aole lakou i makau ia Iehova; a hoouna mai o Iehova i na liona iwaena o lakou, a pepehi mai i kekahi poe o lakou.
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.”
A olelo aku la lakou i ke alii o Asuria, i aku la, O na lahuikanaka au i lawe mai ai a hoonoho ma na kulanakauhale o Samaria, aole lakou i ike i ke ano o ke Akua o ka aina: nolaila, ua hoouna mai ia i na liona iwaena o lakou, aia hoi, ke luku mai nei ia lakou no ko lakou ike ole i ke ano o ke Akua o ka aina.
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.”
Alaila kauoha mai la ke alii o Asuria, i mai la, E lawe aku ilaila i kekahi o na kahuna a oukou i lawe mai nei mai laila mai; a e hele lakou a noho malaila, a e hoike aku oia ia lakou i ke ano o ke Akua o ka aina.
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.
Alaila hele mai kekahi o na kahuna a lakou i lawe ae mai Samaria aku, a noho ma Betela, a ao aku ia ia lakou e makau lakou ia Iehova.
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.
Aka, hana aku no kela lahuikanaka keia luhuikanaka i na akua no lakou iho, a kukulu ma na hale o na heiau a ko Samaria i hana'i, o kela lahuikanaka keia lahuikanaka ma ko lakou mau kulanakauhale, kahi a lakou i noho ai.
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.
A hana aku la na kanaka no Babulona ia Sukote-benota, a hana aku la na kanaka no Kuta ia Neregala, a hana aku na kanaka no Hamata ia Asima,
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.
A hana aku ko Ava ia Nibehaza, a me Taretaka, a kaumaha aku la ko Separevaima i ka lakou keiki i ke ahi no Aderameleka, a no Anameleka, na akua o ko Separevaima.
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.
A makau lakou ia Iehova, a hana lakou, noloko mai o ko lakou poe ilalo loa, i kahuna na lakou no na heiau, a kaumaha aku lakou no lakou la iloko o na hale o na heiau.
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.
Makau no lakou ia Iehova, a malama lakou i ko lakou mau akua iho, e like me na lahuikanaka, a lakou i lawe pio ai mai laila aku.
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.
A hiki i keia wa, hana no lakou ma ke ano o na mea mamua: aole lakou e makau ia Iehova, aole lakou e hana e like me ko lakou mau kanawai, a me ka lakou olelo kupaa, a me ke kanawai a me ke kauoha a Iehova i kauoha mai ai i na mamo a Iakoba, ka mea ana i kapa iho ai o Iseraela;
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.
I ka poe a Iehova i hookuikahi ai, a kauona ia lakou, i aku la, Mai makau oukou i na akua e, mai kulou oukou ilalo ia lakou, mai malama ia lakou, mai kaumaha aku no lakou.
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.
Aka, o Iehova, nana oukou i lawe ae mai ka aina o Aigupita mai me ka mana, a me ka lima kakauha, oia ka oukou e makau ai, a e hoomana ai, a nona oukou e kaumaha aku ai.
37 You must always obey the laws and commands that I [told Moses to] write for you. You must not worship other gods.
A o na olelo, a me ka olelo kupaa o ke kanawai, a me ke kauoha ana i kakau ai no oukou, oia ka oukou e ao e malama i na la a pau; a mai makau i na akua e.
38 And you must not forget the agreement that I made with your ancestors. You must not revere other gods.
A mai hoopoina oukou i ka berita a'u i hana'i me oukou; mai makau hoi oukou i na akua e.
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.”
Aka, o Iehova ko oukou Akua, oia ka oukou e makau ai; a nana no oukou e hoopakele i ka lima o ko oukou poe enemi a pau.
40 But the people [from those foreign nations] would not heed what Yahweh said. Instead, they continued to adhere to their old customs.
Aole nae lakou i hoolohe, aka, hana no lakou ma ke ano o na mea mamua.
41 So, they worshiped Yahweh, but they also worshiped their idols. And their descendants still do the same thing.
A makau keia mau lahuikanaka ia Iehova, a malama lakou i ko lakou kiikalai, o ka lakou poe keiki a me na keiki a ka lakou poe keiki; e like me ka mea a ko lakou makua i hana'i, pela ka lakou hana ana a hiki i keia la.
