2 Kings 17
1 In the twelfth year of Ahaz king of Judah began Hoshea the son of Elah to reign in Samaria over Israel nine years.
Judah manghai Ahaz kah kum hlai nit vaengah Elah capa Hosea loh Samaria ah Israel kum ko a manghai thil.
2 And he did [that which was] evil in the sight of the LORD, but not as the kings of Israel that were before him.
BOEIPA mikhmuh ah boethae a saii dae anih hmai kah Israel manghai aka om rhoek bangla om pawh.
3 Against him came up Shalmaneser king of Assyria; and Hoshea became his servant, and gave him presents.
Assyria manghai Shalmaneser loh Hosea te a caeh thil vaengah tah Assyria manghai kah sal la vik om tih a taengah khocang a mael.
4 And the king of Assyria found conspiracy in Hoshea: for he had sent messengers to So king of Egypt, and brought no 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.
Tedae Assyria manghai loh Hosea te lairhui la a hmuh. Egypt manghai So taengla puencawn a tueih tih a kum, kum ah Assyria manghai ham khocang thak pah voel pawh. Te dongah Assyria manghai loh anih te atlaeng tih thongim ah a khoh.
5 Then the king of Assyria came up throughout all the land, and went up to Samaria, and besieged it three years.
Assyria manghai te khohmuen tom la cet tih Samaria a pha vaengah tah khoupuei te kum thum a dum.
6 In the ninth year of Hoshea, the king of Assyria took Samaria, and carried Israel away into Assyria, and placed them in Halah and in Habor [by] the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes.
Hosea kah a kum ko dongah tah Assyria manghai loh Samaria te a loh tih Israel te Assyria la a poelyoe. Te phoeiah amih te Halah kah Gozan tuiva Habor neh Madai khopuei rhoek ah kho a sak sak.
7 For [so] it was, that the children of Israel had sinned against the LORD their God, who had brought them out of the land of Egypt, from under the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and had feared other gods,
Egypt manghai Pharaoh kut hmui lamkah neh Egypt khohmuen lamloh amih aka caeh puei a Pathen Yahweh taengah Israel ca rhoek tholh uh tih pathen tloe te a rhih uh dongah ni he he a thoeng.
8 And walked in the statutes of the heathen, whom the LORD cast out from before the children of Israel, and of the kings of Israel which they had made.
Namtom kah khosing bangla pongpa uh pueng. Te rhoek te BOEIPA loh Israel ca rhoek mikhmuh lamkah a haek coeng dae Israel manghai rhoek loh koep a pak uh.
9 And the children of Israel did secretly things that [were] not right against the LORD their God, and they built for themselves high places in all their cities, from the tower of the watchmen to the fortified city.
Olka dongah Israel ca rhoek a hawn uh dongah a Pathen BOEIPA taengah thuem uh pawt tangkhuet. Te dongah aka rhalrhing kah rhaltoengim lamloh khopuei hmuencak hil, a khopuei tom ah amamih ham hmuensang a thoh uh.
10 And they set up for themselves images and groves on every high hill, and under every green tree:
Amih ham kaam neh Asherah te som sang boeih neh thing hing tom kah hmui ah a ling uh.
11 And there they burnt incense on all the high places, as [did] the heathen whom the LORD carried away before them; and wrought wicked things to provoke the LORD to anger:
Namtom rhoek bangla hmuensang tom ah hnap a phum uh. Te rhoek te BOEIPA loh amih mikhmuh lamkah a poelyoe coeng dae BOEIPA te veet hamla boethae hno a saii uh.
12 For they served idols, of which the LORD had said to them, Ye shall not do this thing.
BOEIPA loh amih taengah hebang hno he saii pawt ham a thui pah lalah mueirhol te tho a thueng thiluh.
13 Yet the LORD testified against Israel, and against Judah, by all the prophets, [and by] all the seers, saying, Turn ye from your evil ways, and keep my commandments [and] my statutes, according to all the law which I commanded your fathers, and which I sent to you by my servants the prophets.
BOEIPA loh Israel neh Judah te tonghma boeih kah tonghma neh khohmu boeih kah kut lamloh a rhalrhing sak tih, “Nangmih kah longpuei thae lamloh mael uh laeh, a cungkuem dongah na pa rhoek ka uen olkhueng bangla ka olpaek neh ka khosing he tuem uh. Te te ka sal rhoek, tonghma rhoek kut lamloh nangmih taengah kam pat coeng,” a ti.
14 Notwithstanding, they would not hear, but hardened their necks, like the neck of their fathers, that did not believe in the LORD their God.
Tedae hnatun uh pawt tih a Pathen BOEIPA aka tangnah pawh a napa rhoek kah a rhawn bangla a rhawn te a siing uh.
15 And they rejected his statutes, and his covenant that he made with their fathers, and his testimonies which he testified against them; and they followed vanity, and became vain, and went after the heathen that [were] around them, [concerning] whom the LORD had charged them, that they should not do like them.
A a oltlueh neh a paipi te a hnawt uh. Te te a napa rhoek taengah a saii tih a olphong neh amih te a rhalrhing sak. Tedae a honghi hnukah pongpa uh tih hoemdawk uh. A kaepvai kah namtom rhoek hnukah amih bangla saii pawt ham BOEIPA loh amih a uen.
16 And they left all the commandments of the LORD their God, and made for themselves molten images, [even] two calves, and made a grove, and worshiped all the host of heaven, and served Baal.
A Pathen BOEIPA kah olpaek cungkuem te a hnoo uh tih amamih ham mueihlawn vaitoca rhoi panit a saii uh. Asherah a saii phoeiah vaan caempuei cungkuem te a bakop thil uh tih Baal taengah tho a thueng uh.
17 And they caused their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire, and used divination and enchantments, and sold themselves to do evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.
A capa khaw, a canu khaw hmai khuila a kat sakuh. Bihma a bi uh tih lung a sawt uh. BOEIPA te veet ham neh a mikhmuh ah boethae saii ham yoi uh thae.
18 Therefore the LORD was very angry with Israel, and removed them out of his sight: there was none left but the tribe of Judah only.
Te dongah BOEIPA he Israel taengah bahoeng a thintoek tih amih te a mikhmuh lamloh a khoe. Te vaengah Judah koca amah bueng phoeiah tah pakhat khaw hlun pawh.
19 Also Judah kept not the commandments of the LORD their God, but walked in the statutes of Israel which they made.
Judah pataeng a Pathen BOEIPA kah olpaek te tuem pawt tih Israel kah a pak khosing dongah pongpa uh.
20 And the LORD rejected all the seed of Israel, and afflicted them, and delivered them into the hand of spoilers, until he had cast them out of his sight.
Te dongah BOEIPA loh Israel kah tiingan boeih te a hnawt tih amih te a phaep. Amih te a mikhmuh lamloh a voeih duela aka tukvat rhoek kah kut dongah a tloeng.
21 For he rent Israel from the house of David; and they made Jeroboam the son of Nebat king: and Jeroboam drove Israel from following the LORD, and made them sin a great sin.
Israel te David imkhui lamloh a phen tih Nebat capa Jeroboam te a manghai sak. Jeroboam loh Israel te BOEIPA taeng lamloh a rhoe tih a heh dongah amih te tholh a len neh a tholh sak.
22 For the children of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam which he did; they departed not from them;
Israel ca rhoek he Jeroboam kah a saii tholhnah cungkuem dongah pongpa uh tih te lamloh a nong uh moenih.
23 Until the LORD removed Israel out of his sight, as he had said by all his servants the prophets. So was Israel carried away out of their own land to Assyria to this day.
A sal tonghma boeih kah kut ah a thui bangla BOEIPA loh Israel te a mikhmuh lamloh a khoe. Te dongah ni tahae khohnin hil Israel te amah khohmuen lamloh Assyria la a poelyoe.
24 And the king of Assyria brought [men] from Babylon, and from Cuthah, and from Ava, and from Hamath, and from Sepharvaim, and placed [them] in the cities of Samaria instead of the children of Israel: and they possessed Samaria, and dwelt in its cities.
Te vaengah Assyria manghai loh Babylon lamkah neh Kuthah lamkah khaw, Ivvah lamkah neh Khamath lamkah khaw, Sepharvaim lamkah khaw a khuen tih Israel ca rhoek yueng la Samaria khopuei rhoek ah kho a sak sak. Te dongah Samaria te a huul uh tih a khopuei ah kho a sak uh.
25 And [so] it was at the beginning of their dwelling there, [that] they feared not the LORD: therefore the LORD sent lions among them, which slew [some] of them.
Amih kah khosak a tong van neh BOEIPA te hnap rhih uh pawh. Te dongah BOEIPA loh amih taengah sathueng a hlah pah tih amih aka ngawn la om.
26 Wherefore they spoke to the king of Assyria, saying, The nations which thou hast removed, and placed in the cities of Samaria, know not the manner of the God of the land: therefore he hath sent lions among them, and behold, they slay them, because they know not the manner of the God of the land.
Te vaengah Assyria manghai taengla puen uh tih, “Na poelyoe tih Samaria khopuei ah kho na sak sak namtom tah khohmuen Pathen kah laitloeknah te ming uh pawh. Khohmuen Pathen kah laitloeknah te a ming uh pawt dongah amih taengah sathueng a hlah pah tih amih a duek sak coeng he,” a ti nah.
27 Then the king of Assyria commanded, saying, Carry thither one of the priests whom ye brought from thence; and let them go and dwell there, and let him teach them the manner of the God of the land.
Te dongah Assyria manghai loh a uen tih, “A poelyoe khosoih khuiah pakhat tah te lam te thak laeh. Cet tih kho a sak pahoi daengah ni khohmuen Pathen kah laitloeknah te amih a thuinuet eh?,” a ti nah.
28 Then one of the priests whom they had carried away from Samaria came and dwelt in Beth-el, and taught them how they should fear the LORD.
Te dongah Samaria lamkah a poelyoe khosoih rhoek khuiah pakhat tah mael. Bethel ah kho a sak tih BOEIPA metla rhih ham khaw amih te a thuinuet.
29 Yet, every nation made gods of their own, and put [them] in the houses of the high places which the Samaritans had made, every nation in their cities in which they dwelt.
Tedae amah namtu, namtu ah pathen tah a saii uh tih Samaria kah a saii hmuensang im ah a khueh uh. Amih te amah namtu, namtu neh khopuei ah kho a sak uh.
30 And the men of Babylon made Succoth-benoth, and the men of Cuth made Nergal, and the men of Hamath made Ashima,
Babylon hlang rhoek loh Succothbenoth te a sak tih Kuthah hlang loh Nergal te a sak. Khamath hlang rhoek loh Ashima te a sak van.
31 And the Avites made Nibhaz and Tartak, and the Sepharvites burnt their children in the fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech, the gods of Sepharvaim.
Avvii loh Nibbaz neh Tartak te a saii tih Sepharvi loh Sepharvaim kah pathen Adrammelech neh Anamelek ham a ca rhoek te hmai ah a hoeh uh.
32 So they feared the LORD, and made to themselves of the lowest of them priests of the high places, who sacrificed for them in the houses of the high places.
BOEIPA aka rhih la om uh dae amih kah a hmatoeng lamloh hmuensang khosoih a khueh uh tih amih ham hmuensang im ah aka nawn rhung la om uh.
33 They feared the LORD, and served their own gods, after the manner of the nations whom they carried away from thence.
BOEIPA aka rhih la om uh cakhaw namtom rhoek kah khosing bangla amah pathen taengah tho aka thueng la om uh. Te lamlong ni amih te a poelyoe.
34 To this day they do after the former manners: they fear not the LORD, neither do they after their statutes, or after their ordinances, or after the law and commandment which the LORD commanded the children of Jacob, whom he named Israel;
Tahae khohnin hil amih he hnukbuet kah khosing bangla a saii uh tih amih loh BOEIPA te rhih uh pawh. Israel ming a phuk thil Jakob kah koca rhoek loh BOEIPA kah a uen bangla a khosing neh a laitloeknah khaw, olkhueng neh olpaek te khaw a vai uh moenih.
35 With whom the LORD had made a covenant, and charged them, saying, Ye shall not fear other gods, nor bow yourselves to them, nor serve them, nor sacrifice to them:
BOEIPA loh amih taengah paipi a saii tih amih a uen vaengah, “Pathen tloe te rhih uh boeh, amih taengah bakop boeh, amih te thothueng pah boeh, amih taengah nawn uh boeh.
36 But the LORD, who brought you out of the land of Egypt with great power and an out-stretched arm, him shall ye fear, and him shall ye worship, and to him shall ye do sacrifice.
BOEIPA bueng long ni thadueng len neh a ban a yueng tih nangmih te Egypt kho lamloh n'khuen. Amah te rhih uh lamtah amah taengah bakop uh, amah taengah tah nawn uh.
37 And the statutes, and the ordinances, and the law, and the commandment which he wrote for you, ye shall observe to do for evermore; and ye shall not fear other gods.
Nangmih ham a daek oltlueh neh laitloeknah te khaw, olkhueng neh olpaek te khaw khohnin takuem vai hamla ngaithuen uh lamtah a tloe pathen rhoek te rhih uh boeh.
38 And the covenant that I have made with you ye shall not forget; neither shall ye fear other gods.
Nangmih taengah paipi ka saii te hnilh uh boel lamtah a tloe pathen rhoek te rhih uh boeh.
39 But the LORD your God ye shall fear; and he will deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies.
Nangmih kah Pathen BOEIPA bueng te rhih uh. Te daengah ni amah loh nangmih te na thunkha cungkuem kah kut lamloh n'huul eh?,” a ti nah.
40 Yet they did not hearken, but they did after their former manner.
Tedae hnatun uh pawt tih lamhma kah a khosing bangla a saii uh.
41 So these nations feared the LORD, and served their graven images, both their children, and their children's children: as did their fathers, so do they to this day.
Te dongah natom rhoek he BOEIPA aka rhih la om uh cakhaw a ca neh a ca phoeikah a ca rhoek tah a mueidaep kah thothueng la om uh. Amih loh tahae khohnin hil a napa rhoek kah a saii bangla a saii uh.
