2 Wa 17
1 Wa Akaz t'ap mache sou douzan depi li t'ap gouvènen peyi Jida lè Oze, pitit Ela, moute wa nan peyi Izrayèl. Li gouvènen nan lavil Samari pandan nevan.
In the twelfth year of Achaz king of Juda, Osee the son of Ela reigned in Samaria over Israel nine years.
2 Li fè sa ki mal nan je Seyè a, men tansèlman pa tankou lòt wa ki te gouvènen peyi Izrayèl la anvan l' yo.
And he did evil before the Lord: but not as the kings of Israel that had been before him.
3 Salmanaza, wa peyi Lasiri a, atake Oze. Oze soumèt devan l'. Li peye l' yon lajan chak lanne.
Against him came up Salmanasar king of the Assyrians, and Osee became his servant, and paid him tribute.
4 Men, Salmanaza vin dekouvri Oze t'ap moute konplo sou do l'. Oze te voye mesaje bò kot So, wa peyi Lejip, pou mande l' konkou. Lèfini, li te sispann voye lajan li te gen pou l' peye wa peyi Lasiri a chak lanne. Se konsa Salmanaza fè arete Oze, mete l' nan prizon ak chenn nan pye l'.
And when the king of the Assyrians found that Osee endeavouring to rebel had sent messengers to Sua the king of Egypt, that he might not pay tribute to the king of the Assyrians, as he had done every year, he besieged him, bound him, and cast him into prison,
5 Salmanaza anvayi peyi Izrayèl la. Li sènen lavil Samari pandan twazan.
And he went through all the land: and going up to Samaria, he besieged it three years.
6 Oze te gen nevan depi li te wa lè wa Lasiri a pran lavil Samari. Salmanaza fè tout pèp Izrayèl la prizonye, li depòte yo nan peyi Lasiri. Li mete yon pati ladan yo lavil Ala, toupre larivyè Abò nan zòn Gozan, yon pati nan lavil peyi Medi yo.
And in the ninth year of Osee, the king of the Assyrians took Samaria, and carried Israel away to Assyria: and he placed them in Hala and Habor by the river of Gozan, in the cities of the Medes.
7 Sa te rive konsa paske moun peyi Izrayèl yo te fè peche kont Seyè a, Bondye yo a, ki te fè yo soti kite peyi Lejip, ki te delivre yo anba men farawon an, wa peyi Lejip la. Yo t'ap sèvi lòt bondye.
For so it was that the children of Israel had sinned against the Lord their God, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, from under the hand of Pharao king of Egypt, and they worshipped strange gods.
8 Yo t'ap swiv mès moun lòt nasyon Seyè a te mete deyò nan peyi a pou fè plas pou yo. Yo t'ap mache dapre lòt vye prensip wa Izrayèl yo te ba yo.
And they walked according to the way of the nations which the Lord had destroyed in the sight of the children of Israel and of the kings of Israel: because they had done in like manner.
9 Lèfini, moun peyi Izrayèl yo te fè yon bann bagay yo pa t' dwe fè devan Seyè a. Yo bati tanp pou zidòl nan tout lavil yo, depi nan ti bouk kote ki gen avanpòs pou faksyonnè rive nan gwo lavil ak ranpa yo.
And the children of Israel offended the Lord their God with things that were not right: and built them high places in all their cities from the tower of the watchmen to the fenced city.
10 Sou tout mòn, anba tout gwo pyebwa, yo kanpe gwo wòch ak estati pou Achera, zidòl fanm lan.
And they made them statues and groves on every high hill, and under every shady tree:
11 Yo boule lansan sou tout lotèl zidòl yo tankou moun Seyè a te mete deyò nan peyi a te konn fè. Yo fè yon bann bagay derespektan ki lakòz Seyè a te fache anpil.
And they burnt incense there upon altars after the manner of the nations which the Lord had removed from their face: and they did wicked things, provoking the Lord.
12 Yo adore zidòl, bagay Seyè a te ba yo lòd pa fè.
And they worshipped abominations, concerning which the Lord had commanded them that they should not do this thing.
13 Seyè a te voye mesaje ak pwofèt li yo avèti moun peyi Izrayèl yo ansanm ak moun peyi Jida yo. Li te byen di yo: Manyè kite move chemen n'ap swiv la! Fè sa m' mande nou fè. Kenbe lòd mwen yo jan sa ye nan lalwa mwen te bay zansèt nou yo, lalwa mwen te fè pwofèt yo, sèvitè m' yo, moutre nou an.
And the Lord testified to them in Israel and in Juda by the hand of all the prophets and seers, saying: Return from your wicked ways, and keep my precepts, and ceremonies, according to all the law which I commanded your fathers: and as I have sent to you in the hand of my servants the prophets.
14 Men, yo pa koute l', yo fè tèt di tankou zansèt yo ki pa t' mete konfyans yo nan Seyè a, Bondye yo a.
And they hearkened not, but hardened their necks like to the neck of their fathers, who would not obey the Lord their God.
15 Yo derefize kenbe lòd li yo, yo pa respekte kontra li te pase ak zansèt yo. Yo pa okipe avètisman li te ba yo, yo pran sèvi zidòl ki pa vo anyen. Yo menm, yo pèdi valè yo. Yo pran fè tankou lòt nasyon k'ap viv bò kote yo t'ap fè, yo dezobeyi lòd Seyè a ki te di yo pa fè sa.
And they rejected his ordinances and the covenant that he made with their fathers, and the testimonies which he testified against them: and they followed vanities, and acted vainly: and they followed the nations that were round about them, concerning which the Lord had commanded them that they should not do as they did.
16 Yo lage tout kòmandman Seyè a, Bondye yo a, te ba yo. Yo fè de estati towo an kwiv pou yo sèvi ak yon pòtre Achera, zidòl fanm lan, yo sèvi zetwal nan syèl la ansanm ak Baal.
And they forsook all the precepts of the Lord their God: and made to themselves two molten calves, and groves, and adored all the host of heaven: and they served Baal.
17 Yo bay pitit fi ak pitit gason yo pou boule pou bondye lòt nasyon yo, y' al dèyè divinò ak chòche. Yo vann tèt yo, yo lage kò yo nan fè sa ki mal nan je Seyè a, pou yo te ka fè l' move jouk li pa kapab ankò.
And consecrated their sons, and their daughters through fire: and they gave themselves to divinations, and soothsayings: and they delivered themselves up to do evil before the Lord, to provoke him.
18 Se konsa Seyè a fè yon sèl move sou pèp Izrayèl la, li wete yo devan je l'. Pa rete pase branch fanmi Jida a.
And the Lord was very angry with Israel, and removed them from his sight, and there remained only the tribe of Juda.
19 Men, ata moun peyi Jida yo tou pa t' kenbe lòd Seyè a, Bondye yo a. Yo t'ap fè tankou moun peyi Izrayèl yo. Yo t'ap fè tout vye bagay moun peyi Izrayèl yo te ranmase.
But neither did Juda itself keep the commandments of the Lord their God: but they walked in the errors of Israel, which they had wrought.
20 Se poutèt sa Seyè a vire do bay dènye moun nan ras Izrayèl la. Li fè yo wont, li lage yo nan men yon bann piyajè, jouk li wete yo devan je l'.
And the Lord cast off all the seed of Israel, and afflicted them and delivered them into the hand of spoilers, till he cast them away from his face:
21 Li separe pèp la, li mete moun peyi Izrayèl yo yon bò, moun fanmi David yo yon bò. Moun peyi Izrayèl yo pran Jewoboram, pitit Nebat, yo mete l' wa pou gouvènen yo. Jewoboram lakòz yo kite chimen Seyè a nèt. Li fè yo fè pi gwo peche toujou.
Even from that time, when Israel was rent from the house of David, and made Jeroboam son of Nabat their king: for Jeroboam separated Israel from the Lord, and made them commit a great sin.
22 Moun peyi Izrayèl yo pran fè tankou Jewoboram, yo donnen ladan l' san rete.
And the children of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam, which he had done: and they departed not from them,
23 Bout pou bout, Seyè a wete yo nèt devan je l', jan li te voye sèvitè l' yo, pwofèt yo avèti yo a. Se konsa yo depòte moun peyi Izrayèl yo byen lwen nan peyi Lasiri kote yo ye jouk jounen jòdi a.
Till the Lord removed Israel from his face, as he had spoken in the hand of all his servants the prophets: and Israel was carried away out of their land to Assyria, unto this day.
24 Wa peyi Lasiri a pran moun lavil Babilòn, moun lavil Kout, moun lavil Ava, moun lavil Ama ak moun lavil Sefavayim, li voye yo al rete nan lavil peyi Samari nan plas moun Izrayèl li te fè depòte yo. Moun yo pran peyi Samari a pou yo, y' al rete nan tout lavil yo.
And the king of the Assyrians brought people from Babylon, and from Cutha, and from Avah, and from Emath, and from Sepharvaim: and placed them in the cities of Samaria instead of the children of Israel: and they possessed Samaria, and dwelt in the cities thereof.
25 Moun sa yo pa t' nan sèvi Seyè a. Konsa, lè yo fèk vin tabli nan peyi a, Seyè a voye lyon ki touye kèk ladan yo.
And when they began to dwell there, they feared not the Lord: and the Lord sent lions among them, which killed them.
26 Yo voye di wa peyi Lasiri a: Moun ou te voye vin rete lavil peyi Samari yo pa konnen jan pou yo sèvi Bondye peyi a. Se konsa bondye peyi a voye lyon k'ap fini ak yo.
And it was told the king of the Assyrians, and it was said: The nations which thou hast removed, and made to dwell in the cities of Samaria, know not the ordinances of the God of the land: and the Lord hath sent lions among them: and behold they kill them, because they know not the manner of the God of the land.
27 Lè sa a, wa peyi Lasiri a bay lòd sa a: Pran yonn nan prèt nou te fè prizonye yo, voye l' tounen al viv laba a pou l' ka moutre moun yo jan pou yo sèvi bondye peyi a.
And the king of the Assyrians commanded, saying: Carry thither one of the priests whom you brought from thence captive, and let him go, and dwell with them: and let him teach them the ordinances of the God of the land.
28 Se konsa yonn nan prèt yo te depòte yo tounen nan peyi Samari, l' al rete lavil Betèl, li moutre yo jan pou yo fè sèvis pou Seyè a.
So one of the priests who had been carried away captive from Samaria, came and dwelt in Bethel, and taught them how they should worship the Lord.
29 Men, chak nasyon te fè bondye pa yo nan lavil kote yo te rete a, yo mete yo nan tanp ansyen moun peyi Izrayèl yo te bati pou zidòl yo.
And every nation made gods of their own, and put them in the temples of the high places, which the Samaritans had made, every nation in their cities where they dwelt.
30 Moun lavil Babilòn yo te fè pòtre Soukòt Benòt. Moun lavil Kout yo te fè pòtre Negal. Moun lavil Amat yo te fè pòtre Asima.
For the men of Babylon made Sochothbenoth: and the Cuthites made Nergel: and the men of Emath made Asima.
31 Moun lavil Ava yo te fè pòtre Nibaz ak Tatak. Moun lavil Sefavayim yo ofri pitit yo pou boule pou Adramelèk ak Anamelèk, bondye pa yo.
And the Hevites made Nebahaz and Tharthac. And they that were of Sepharvaim burnt their children in fire, to Adramelech and Anamelech the gods of Sepharvaim.
32 Kifè yo t'ap sèvi Seyè a, men an menm tan yo chwazi moun nan mitan yo pou sèvi prèt zidòl yo, pou fè sèvis pou yo nan tanp zidòl yo.
And nevertheless they worshipped the Lord. And they made to themselves, of the lowest of the people, priests of the high places, and they placed them in the temples of the high places.
33 Se konsa yo t'ap adore Seyè a men yo t'ap adore bondye pa yo tou, dapre koutim peyi kote yo te soti.
And when they worshipped the Lord, they served also their own gods according to the custom of the nations out of which they were brought to Samaria:
34 Jouk jounen jòdi a y'ap fè sa yo te konn fè a. Men, yo pa adore Seyè a, yo pa fè sa li mande nan lalwa ak kòmandman li te bay moun fanmi Jakòb yo swiv. Se Jakòb sa a Bondye sèl Mèt la te bay yon lòt non, li te rele l' Izrayèl.
Unto this day they followed the old manner: they fear not the Lord, neither do they keep his ceremonies, and judgments, and law, and the commandment, which the Lord commanded the children of Jacob, whom he surnamed Israel:
35 Seyè a te pase yon kontra ak pitit Jakòb yo, li te ba yo lòd sa a: Pa sèvi lòt bondye, pa mete jenou atè devan yo. Pa fè sèvis pou yo, pa ofri ankenn bèt pou touye pou yo.
With whom he made a covenant, and charged them, saying: You shall not fear strange gods, nor shall you adore them, nor worship them, nor sacrifice to them.
36 Se mwen menm Seyè a pou nou sèvi, mwen menm Bondye nou an ki te fè nou soti kite peyi Lejip ak gwo kouraj mwen, ak fòs ponyèt mwen. Se mwen menm sèlman pou nou sèvi, pou nou adore. Se pou mwen ase pou nou ofri bèt pou touye.
But the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt with great power, and a stretched out arm, him shall you fear, and him shall you adore, and to him shall you sacrifice.
37 Se pou nou toujou kenbe prensip ak regleman, lòd ak kòmandman mwen te ekri ban nou pou nou te ka swiv yo chak jou. Piga nou gen krentif pou bondye lòt nasyon yo.
And the ceremonies, and judgments, and law, and the commandment, which he wrote for you, you shall observe to do them always: and you shall not fear strange gods.
38 Piga nou bliye kontra mwen te pase ak nou an. Piga nou gen krentif pou bondye lòt nasyon yo.
And the covenant that he made with you, you shall not forget: neither shall ye worship strange gods,
39 Se mwen menm ase, Seyè a, Bondye nou an, pou nou sèvi, m'a delivre nou anba men lènmi nou yo.
But fear the Lord your God, and he shall deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies.
40 Men, moun yo pa koute m', yo toujou ap fè sa yo te konn fè anvan an.
But they did not hearken, but did according to their old custom.
41 Konsa moun nasyon sa yo t'ap sèvi Seyè a, men yo te toujou ap sèvi zidòl pa yo tou. Pitit yo ak pitit pitit yo ap fè tankou papa yo jouk jounen jòdi a.
So these nations feared the Lord, but nevertheless served also their idols: their children also and grandchildren, as their fathers did, so do they unto this day.
