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 Achaz the king of Judah became Hoshea' the son of Elah king in Samaria over Israel, [for] nine years.
2 Li te fè mal nan zye SENYÈ a, men pa tankou wa Israël ki te avan li yo.
And he did what is evil in the eyes of the Lord, but not like 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 Shalmanesser, the king of Assyria; and Hoshea' became his servant, and rendered 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.
And the king of Assyria discovered a conspiracy on Hoshea'; for he had sent messengers to So the king of Egypt, and had raised no tribute for the king of Assyria, as [before] year by year; and the king of Assyria made him prisoner, and shut him up in a prison-house.
5 Epi wa Assyrie te fè envazyon tout peyi a e li te monte Samarie pou te fè syèj li pandan twazan.
And the king of Assyria came up over 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' did the king of Assyria capture Samaria, and he led Israel away as exiles into Assyria, and settled them in Chalach and in Chabor by the river of Gozan, and in the cities of Media.
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,
This took place, because the children of Israel had sinned against the Lord their God, who had brought them up out of the land of Egypt, from under the hand of Pharaoh the 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 had walked in the customs of the nations whom the Lord had driven out from before the children of Israel, and in those 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 [because] the children of Israel had secretly done things that are not right against the Lord their God, and had built themselves high-places in all their cities, from the tower of the watchmen up to fortified cities;
10 Yo te plase pou kont yo pilye sakre yo avèk poto Astarté yo sou chak ti mòn e anba chak pyebwa vèt,
And had set themselves up statues and groves 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.
And had burnt there incense on all the high-places, like the nations that the Lord had led away exiles before them; and wrought 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.”
And had served the idols, whereof the Lord had said unto them, Ye 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.”
The Lord had indeed warned Israel and Judah, by means of all the prophets, all the seers, saying, Turn ye back from your evil ways, and keep my commandments [and] my statutes, in accordance with all the law which I commanded your fathers, and which I have sent to you by means of 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 hear, and hardened their neck, like the neck of their fathers, who had not believed 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 despised his statutes, and his covenant which he had made with their fathers, and his testimonies which he had entrusted to them; and they followed after what is vanity, and became vain, and followed after the nations that were round about them, concerning whom the Lord had charged them, not to 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 forsook all the commandments of the Lord their God, and made themselves molten images, two calves, and made a grove, and bowed down to all the host of the heavens, and served Ba'al;
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 divinations and enchantments, and sold themselves to do what is evil in the eyes 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 became the Lord very angry with Israel, and he removed them from his presence: there was none left but the tribe of Judah alone.
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 customs of Israel which they had 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.
Therefore did the Lord reject all the seed of Israel, and he afflicted them, and gave them up into the hand of spoilers, until that he had cast them out of 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.
For Israel had torn themselves from the house of David, and they made Jerobo'am the son of Nebat king: and Jerobo'am misled Israel 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
And the children of Israel walked in all the sins of Jerobo'am which he did; they departed not therefrom.
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 that the Lord removed Israel out of his presence, as he had spoken by means of all his servants the prophets; and Israel was led away as exiles out of their own land to Assyria even until 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 'Avva, and from Chamath, and from Sepharvayim, and settled them in the cities of Samaria in the room of the children of Israel: and they took possession of Samaria, and dwelt in its cities.
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 it happened at the beginning of their dwelling there, that they feared not the Lord; wherefore the Lord sent among them lions, 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.”
And they said to the king of Assyria, as followeth, The nations that thou hast led away, and settled in the cities of Samaria, know not the manner of the God of the land; wherefore he hath sent among them lions, and, behold, they are slaying them, since 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 commanded the king of Assyria, saying, Carry thither one of the priests whom ye led away 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.
And there came one of the priests whom they had led away as exiles from Samaria, and dwelt in Beth-el; and he 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.
Yet they made, every nation, their own gods; and they put them in the houses of the high-places which the Samaritans had made, every nation in their cities wherein they dwelt.
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 Succoth-benoth, and the men of Cuth made Neregal, and the men of Chamath 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 'Avvites made Nibchaz and Tharthak, and the Sepharvites burnt their children in fire to 'Adrammelech and 'Anammelech, the gods of Sepharvayim.
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.
And they feared [also] the Lord; and they made unto themselves of the lowest of them priests of the high-places, and these 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.
The Lord did they fear, and their own gods did they serve, after the manner of the nations whence they had been led 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;
Even until this day do they act after the former manners: they fear not the Lord, neither do they act after their own customs, and after their manner, nor after the law and after the commandment which the Lord commanded the children of Israel, whose name he styled 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, Ye shall not fear other gods, nor bow yourselves down 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 hath brought you up out of the land of Egypt with great might and with an outstretched arm, him alone shall ye fear, and to him shall ye bow yourselves down, and to him shall ye 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 hath written for you, shall ye observe to do for all time; and ye 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 shall ye not forget; and ye shall not 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 shall ye fear; and he will deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies.
40 Sepandan, yo pa t tande; men yo te fè selon abitid pa yo.
Nevertheless they have not hearkened, but they act 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 were these nations, while they feared the Lord, also serving their graven images; and both their children and their children's children do until this day as their fathers have done.
