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 Ahaz king of Judah began Hoshea the son of Elah to reign in Samaria over Israel nine years.
2 Li te fè mal nan zye SENYÈ a, men pa tankou wa Israël ki te avan li yo.
And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, but not as the kings of Israel that were before him.
3 Salmanasar, wa Assyrie a, te monte kont li, Osée te devni sèvitè li e te peye li taks obligatwa.
Against him came up Shalmaneser king of Assyria; and Hoshea became his servant, and gave him presents.
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.
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.
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 came up throughout all the land, and went up to Samaria, and besieged it 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 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.
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,
For so it was, that the children of Israel had sinned against the LORD their God, which had brought them up out of the land of Egypt, from under the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and had feared 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 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.
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.
And the children of Israel did secretly those things that were not right against the LORD their God, and they built them high places in all their cities, from the tower of the watchmen to the fenced city.
10 Yo te plase pou kont yo pilye sakre yo avèk poto Astarté yo sou chak ti mòn e anba chak pyebwa vèt,
And they set them up images and groves in 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.
And there they burnt incense in all the high places, as did the heathen whom the LORD carried away before them; and worked wicked things to provoke the LORD to anger:
12 Yo te sèvi zidòl, selon sila SENYÈ a te di yo: “Ou pa pou fè bagay sa a.”
For they served idols, whereof the LORD had said to 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 the LORD testified against Israel, and against Judah, by all the prophets, and by all the seers, saying, Turn you 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.
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.
Notwithstanding they would not hear, but hardened their necks, like to the neck of their fathers, that did not believe in 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.
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 round about them, concerning whom the LORD had charged them, that they should not do like them.
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.
And they left all the commandments of the LORD their God, and made them molten images, even two calves, and made a grove, and worshipped 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.
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.
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.
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.
19 Anplis, Juda pa t kenbe kòmandman SENYÈ a, Bondye pa yo a, men te mache nan koutim ke Israël te etabli yo.
Also Judah kept not the commandments of the LORD their God, but walked in the statutes of Israel which they made.
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.
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.
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.
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.
22 Fis a Israël yo te mache nan tout peche ke Jéroboam te fè yo. Yo pa t kite yo
For the children of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam which he did; they departed not 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.
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.
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.
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 dwelled in the cities thereof.
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.
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.
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.”
Why they spoke to the king of Assyria, saying, The nations which you have removed, and placed in the cities of Samaria, know not the manner of the God of the land: therefore he has sent lions among them, and, behold, they slay them, because they know not the manner of the God of the land.
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, saying, Carry thither one of the priests whom you brought from there; and let them go and dwell there, and let him teach them the manner 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.
Then one of the priests whom they had carried away from Samaria came and dwelled in Bethel, and taught them how they should fear 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.
However, 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 wherein they dwelled.
30 Moun Babylone yo te fè Succoth-Benoth, moun Cuth yo te fè Nergal e moun Hamath yo te fè Aschima.
And the men of Babylon made Succothbenoth, and the men of Cuth made Nergal, and 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.
And the Avites made Nibhaz and Tartak, and the Sepharvites burnt their children in fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech, the gods of 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 they feared the LORD, and made to themselves of the lowest of them priests of the high places, which sacrificed for them in the houses 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 feared the LORD, and served their own gods, after the manner of the nations whom they carried away from there.
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 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;
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.
With whom the LORD had made a covenant, and charged them, saying, You shall not fear other gods, nor bow yourselves to them, nor serve them, nor 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.
But the LORD, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt with great power and a stretched out arm, him shall you fear, and him shall you worship, and to him shall you do sacrifice.
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 the statutes, and the ordinances, and the law, and the commandment, which he wrote for you, you shall observe to do for ever more; and you shall not fear 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.
And the covenant that I have made with you you shall not forget; neither shall you fear 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 the LORD your God you shall fear; and he shall deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies.
40 Sepandan, yo pa t tande; men yo te fè selon abitid pa yo.
However, they did not listen, but they did after their former manner.
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 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.
