2 Wa 17
1 Nan douzyèm ane Achaz, wa Juda a, Osée, fis a Éla a te vin wa sou Israël nan Samarie, e li te renye pandan nèf ane.
In the twelfth year of the reign of Ahaz over Judah, Hoshea son of Elah became king of Israel, and he reigned in Samaria nine years.
2 Li te fè mal nan zye SENYÈ a, men pa tankou wa Israël ki te avan li yo.
And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, but not like the kings of Israel who preceded him.
3 Salmanasar, wa Assyrie a, te monte kont li, Osée te devni sèvitè li e te peye li taks obligatwa.
Shalmaneser king of Assyria attacked him, and Hoshea became his vassal and paid him tribute.
4 Men wa Assyrie a te jwenn konplo nan Osée, ki te konn voye mesaje kote So, wa Égypte la, e li pa t prezante taks a wa Assyrie a jan li te konn fè ane pa ane a. Pou koz sa a, wa Assyrie a te fèmen li nan prizon byen mare.
But the king of Assyria discovered that Hoshea had conspired to send envoys to King So of Egypt, and that he had not paid tribute to the king of Assyria as in previous years. Therefore the king of Assyria arrested Hoshea and put him in prison.
5 Epi wa Assyrie te fè envazyon tout peyi a e li te monte Samarie pou te fè syèj li pandan twazan.
Then the king of Assyria invaded the whole land, marched up to Samaria, and besieged it for three years.
6 Nan nevyèm ane Osée a, wa Assyrie a te kaptire Samarie, li te pote pèp Israël la an egzil nan Assyrie, e li te fè yo rete Chalach avèk Chabor sou rivyè Gozan an ak nan vil a Medi yo.
In the ninth year of Hoshea, the king of Assyria captured Samaria and carried away the Israelites to Assyria, where he settled them in Halah, in Gozan by the Habor River, and in the cities of the Medes.
7 Alò, sa te vin rive akoz fis Israël yo te peche kont SENYÈ pa yo a ki te mennen fè yo sòti nan peyi Égypte la anba men Farawon, wa Égypte la. Yo te gen lakrent lòt dye yo,
All this happened because the people 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. They had worshiped other gods
8 epi yo te mache selon koutim a lòt nasyon yo ke SENYÈ a te chase mete deyò devan fis Israël yo nan movèz abitid ke wa Israël yo te etabli yo.
and walked in the customs of the nations that the LORD had driven out before the Israelites, as well as in the practices introduced by the kings of Israel.
9 Fis Israël yo te fè bagay an sekrè ki pa t bon kont SENYÈ a, Bondye pa yo a. Anplis, yo te bati pou kont yo wo plas nan tout vil pa yo soti nan fò kay gad yo jis rive nan vil fòtifye yo.
The Israelites secretly did things against the LORD their God that were not right. From watchtower to fortified city, they built high places in all their cities.
10 Yo te plase pou kont yo pilye sakre yo avèk poto Astarté yo sou chak ti mòn e anba chak pyebwa vèt,
They set up for themselves sacred pillars and Asherah poles on every high hill and under every green tree.
11 epi la, yo te brile lansan sou tout wo plas yo jis jan nasyon ke SENYÈ a te pote fè ale an egzil yo te konn fè avan yo. Yo te fè bagay mal ki te pwovoke SENYÈ a.
They burned incense on all the high places like the nations that the LORD had driven out before them. They did wicked things, provoking the LORD to anger.
12 Yo te sèvi zidòl, selon sila SENYÈ a te di yo: “Ou pa pou fè bagay sa a.”
They served idols, although the LORD had told them, “You shall not do this thing.”
13 Sepandan, SENYÈ a te avèti Israël avèk Juda pa tout pwofèt Li yo ak tout konseye Li. Li te di: “Vire kite move wout sa yo e kenbe kòmandman Mwen yo, règleman Mwen yo, selon tout lalwa a avèk sila Mwen te kòmande zansèt nou yo e ke m te voye bannou pa sèvitè Mwen yo, pwofèt yo.”
Yet through all His prophets and seers, the LORD warned Israel and Judah, saying, “Turn from your wicked ways and keep My commandments and statutes, according to the entire Law that I commanded your fathers and delivered to you through My servants the prophets.”
14 Sepandan, yo pa t koute, men yo te fè tèt di tankou zansèt pa yo, ki pa t kwè nan SENYÈ a, Bondye pa yo a.
But they would not listen, and they stiffened their necks like their fathers, who did not believe the LORD their God.
15 Yo te rejte règleman pa Li yo avèk akò ke Li te fè avèk zansèt pa yo avèk avètisman sa yo, avèk sila li te avèti yo. Epi yo te swiv foli yo, e yo te vin plen ògèy. Yo te kouri apre nasyon ki te antoure yo, selon sila SENYÈ a te kòmande yo pa fè tankou yo.
They rejected His statutes and the covenant He had made with their fathers, as well as the decrees He had given them. They pursued worthless idols and themselves became worthless, going after the surrounding nations that the LORD had commanded them not to imitate.
16 Yo te bliye nèt tout kòmandman a SENYÈ a, Bondye pa yo a e yo te fè pou kont yo imaj fonn a ti bèf yo menm, te fè yon Astarté, yo te adore tout lame selès la e yo te sèvi Baal.
They abandoned all the commandments of the LORD their God and made for themselves two cast idols of calves and an Asherah pole. They bowed down to all the host of heaven and served Baal.
17 Konsa, yo te fè fis avèk fi pa yo pase nan dife, yo te pratike divinasyon avèk Wanga e yo te vann pwòp tèt yo pou fè mal nan zye SENYÈ a e pwovoke Li.
They sacrificed their sons and daughters in the fire and practiced divination and soothsaying. They devoted themselves to doing evil in the sight of the LORD, provoking Him to anger.
18 Pou sa, SENYÈ a te byen fache avèk Israël e Li te retire yo devan zye Li. Okenn moun pa t rete sof tribi Juda a.
So the LORD was very angry with Israel, and He removed them from His presence. Only the tribe of Judah remained,
19 Anplis, Juda pa t kenbe kòmandman SENYÈ a, Bondye pa yo a, men te mache nan koutim ke Israël te etabli yo.
and even Judah did not keep the commandments of the LORD their God, but lived according to the customs Israel had introduced.
20 SENYÈ a te rejte tout desandan a Israël yo. Li te aflije yo e Li te livre yo nan men a piyajè jiskaske Li te jete yo deyò vizaj Li.
So the LORD rejected all the descendants of Israel. He afflicted them and delivered them into the hands of plunderers, until He had banished them from His presence.
21 Lè Li te fin chire Israël fè l sòti lakay David la, yo te fè Jéroboam, fis Nebath la, wa. Epi Jéroboam te bourade kondwi Israël pou l pa swiv SENYÈ a e li te fè yo fè yon gwo peche.
When the LORD had torn Israel away from the house of David, they made Jeroboam son of Nebat king, and Jeroboam led Israel away from following the LORD and caused them to commit a great sin.
22 Fis a Israël yo te mache nan tout peche ke Jéroboam te fè yo. Yo pa t kite yo
The Israelites persisted in all the sins that Jeroboam had committed and did not turn away from them.
23 jiskaske SENYÈ a te retire Israël soti devan vizaj Li, jan Li te pale pa tout sèvitè Li yo, pwofèt yo. Konsa, Israël te pote lwen an egzil soti nan pwòp peyi pa yo pou Assyrie jis rive jou sa a.
Finally, the LORD removed Israel from His presence, as He had declared through all His servants the prophets. So Israel was exiled from their homeland into Assyria, where they are to this day.
24 Wa a Assyrie a te mennen moun soti Babylone, Cutha, ak Avva pou Hamath, ak Sepharvaïm, e li te etabli yo nan vil Samarie yo pou ranplase fis Israël yo. Konsa, yo te posede Samarie e yo te viv nan vil pa li yo.
Then the king of Assyria brought people from Babylon, Cuthah, Avva, Hamath, and Sepharvaim and settled them in the towns of Samaria to replace the Israelites. They took possession of Samaria and lived in its towns.
25 Lè yo te kòmanse viv la, yo pa t gen lakrent SENYÈ a. Pou sa, SENYÈ a te voye lyon pami yo ki te touye kèk nan yo.
Now when the settlers first lived there, they did not worship the LORD, so He sent lions among them, which killed some of them.
26 Akoz sa, yo te pale avèk wa Assyrie. Yo te di li: “Nasyon sa yo ke ou te pote ale an egzil nan lavil Samarie yo pa konnen koutim a dye nan peyi a. Pou sa, li te voye lyon pami yo, e tande byen, yo touye yo akoz yo pa konnen koutim a dye nan peyi a.”
So they spoke to the king of Assyria, saying, “The peoples that you have removed and placed in the cities of Samaria do not know the requirements of the God of the land. Because of this, He has sent lions among them, which are indeed killing them off.”
27 Alò, wa Assyrie a te fè kòmand e te di: “Mennen la youn nan prèt ke ou te pote an egzil yo e kite li ale viv la. Epi kite li enstwi yo koutim a dye peyi a.”
Then the king of Assyria commanded: “Send back one of the priests you carried off from Samaria, and have him go back to live there and teach the requirements of the God of the land.”
28 Konsa, youn nan prèt ke yo te pote ale an egzil soti Samarie yo te vin viv Béthel, e li te enstwi yo jan yo te dwe gen lakrent SENYÈ a.
Thus one of the priests they had carried away came and lived in Bethel, and he began to teach them how they should worship the LORD.
29 Men chak nasyon te toujou fè dye pa li e te mete yo lakay yo sou wo plas ke pèp Samarie a te konn fè yo, chak nasyon nan vil pa yo kote yo te viv la.
Nevertheless, the people of each nation continued to make their own gods in the cities where they had settled, and they set them up in the shrines that the people of Samaria had made on the high places.
30 Moun Babylone yo te fè Succoth-Benoth, moun Cuth yo te fè Nergal e moun Hamath yo te fè Aschima.
The men of Babylon made Succoth-benoth, the men of Cuth made Nergal, the men of Hamath made Ashima,
31 Moun Avva yo te fè Nibchaz avèk Tharthak; sila nan Sepharvaïm yo te brile pitit pa yo nan dife pou onore Adrammélec avèk Anamélec, dye a Sepharvaïm yo.
the Avvites made Nibhaz and Tartak, and the Sepharvites burned their children in the fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech the gods of the Sepharvaim.
32 Yo te gen lakrent osi a SENYÈ a, e yo te chwazi pami yo menm prèt a wo plas yo, ki te aji pou yo nan kay wo plas yo.
So the new residents worshiped the LORD, but they also appointed for themselves priests of all sorts to serve in the shrines of the high places.
33 Yo te krent SENYÈ a e osi, yo te sèvi dye pa yo selon koutim a nasyon pami sila yo te pote ale an egzil yo.
They worshiped the LORD, but they also served their own gods according to the customs of the nations from which they had been carried away.
34 Jis rive jou sa a, yo fè selon ansyen koutim yo: yo pa krent SENYÈ a, ni yo pa swiv règleman pa Li yo ni òdonans, ni lalwa a, ni kòmandman ke SENYÈ a te kòmande fis a Jacob yo, ke li te bay non Israël yo;
To this day they are still practicing their former customs. None of them worship the LORD or observe the statutes, ordinances, laws, and commandments that the LORD gave the descendants of Jacob, whom He named Israel.
35 avèk sila SENYÈ a te fè yon akò. Li te kòmande yo e te di: “Nou p ap gen krent lòt dye yo, ni bese nou menm ba devan yo, ni sèvi yo ni fè sakrifis a yo.
For the LORD had made a covenant with the Israelites and commanded them, “Do not worship other gods or bow down to them; do not serve them or sacrifice to them.
36 Men SENYÈ a, ki te mennen nou monte soti nan peyi Égypte la avèk gran pouvwa e avèk yon bra lonje, a Li menm nou va gen krent. A Li menm, nou va bese ba e a Li menm, nou va fè sakrifis.
Instead, worship the LORD, who brought you out of the land of Egypt with great power and an outstretched arm. You are to bow down to Him and offer sacrifices to Him.
37 Règleman avèk òdonans avèk lalwa ak kòmandman ke Li te ekri pou nou yo, nou va obsève pou fè yo jis pou tout tan. Nou p ap fè lakrent lòt dye yo.
And you must always be careful to observe the statutes, ordinances, laws, and commandments He wrote for you. Do not worship other gods.
38 Akò ke m te fè avèk nou an, nou p ap bliye li, ni nou p ap gen lakrent lòt dye yo.
Do not forget the covenant I have made with you. Do not worship other gods,
39 Men SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, nou va krent Li. Epi Li va delivre nou soti nan men a tout lènmi pa nou yo.”
but worship the LORD your God, and He will deliver you from the hands of all your enemies.”
40 Sepandan, yo pa t tande; men yo te fè selon abitid pa yo.
But they would not listen, and they persisted in their former customs.
41 Pou sa, malgre nasyon sila yo te gen lakrent SENYÈ a, yo osi te sèvi zidòl pa yo. Pitit pa yo tou ak pitit pitit pa yo, jis jan ke zansèt pa yo te konn fè; konsa, yo fè jis rive jodi a.
So these nations worshiped the LORD but also served their idols, and to this day their children and grandchildren continue to do as their fathers did.
