2 Sarakuna 17
1 A shekara ta goma sha biyu ta mulkin Ahaz sarkin Yahuda, Hosheya ɗan Ela ya zama sarkin Isra’ila a Samariya, ya kuma yi mulki na shekara tara.
In the twelfth year of Ahaz, king of Judah, Hoshea, the son of Elah, became king over Israel in Samaria, ruling for nine years.
2 Ya aikata mugunta a gaban Ubangiji, amma ba kamar na sarakunan Isra’ilan da suka riga shi ba.
He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, though not like the kings of Israel before him.
3 Shalmaneser sarkin Assuriya ya kawo wa Hosheya wanda dā abokin tarayyarsa ne, hari har Hosheya ya biya shi haraji.
Against him came up Shalmaneser, king of Assyria, and Hoshea became his servant and sent him offerings.
4 Amma sarkin Assuriya ya gane cewa Hosheya mai cin amana ne, gama ya aika da wakilai wurin So sarkin Masar, ya kuma daina aika wa sarkin Assuriya haraji yadda ya saba yi kowace shekara. Saboda haka Shalmaneser ya kama shi ya sa a kurkuku.
But Hoshea's broken faith became clear to the king of Assyria because he had sent representatives to So, king of Egypt, and did not send his offering to the king of Assyria, as he had done year by year: so the king of Assyria had him shut up in prison and put in chains.
5 Sarkin Assuriya ya kai wa ƙasar Hosheya gaba ɗaya farmaki, ya kewaye Samariya na tsawon shekara uku.
Then the king of Assyria went through all the land and came up to Samaria, shutting it in with his forces for three years.
6 A shekara ta tara ta sarautar Hosheya, sarkin Assuriya ya ci Samariya da yaƙi ya kuma kwashe Isra’ilawa zuwa Assuriya. Ya tsugunar da su a Hala, da a Gozan a bakin Kogin Habor da kuma a garuruwan Medes.
In the ninth year of Hoshea, the king of Assyria took Samaria, and took Israel away to Assyria, placing them in Halah and in Habor on the river Gozan, and in the towns of the Medes.
7 Duk wannan ya faru ne saboda Isra’ilawa sun yi wa Ubangiji Allahnsu zunubi, shi wanda ya fitar da su daga Masar daga ƙarƙashin ikon Fir’auna sarkin Masar. Sun yi wa waɗansu alloli sujada
And the wrath of the Lord came on Israel because they had done evil against the Lord their God, who took them out of the land of Egypt from under the yoke of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and had become worshippers of other gods,
8 suka kuma bi gurbin al’umman da Ubangiji ya kora a gabansu, da kuma ayyukan da sarakuna Isra’ila suka gabatar.
Living by the rules of the nations whom the Lord had sent out from before the children of Israel.
9 Isra’ilawa a ɓoye sun aikata abubuwan da ba daidai ba ga Ubangiji Allahnsu. Tun daga hasumiyoyi har zuwa birane masu katanga, sun gina wa kansu wuraren sujada na tudu a dukan garuruwansu.
And the children of Israel did secretly against the Lord their God things which were not right, building high places for themselves in all their towns, from the tower of the watchmen to the walled town.
10 Suka kafa keɓaɓɓun duwatsu da kuma ginshiƙan Ashera a kowane tudu mai tsayi da kuma a ƙarƙashin kowane babban itace.
They put up pillars of stone and wood on every high hill and under every green tree:
11 Suka ƙona turare a kan kowane tudu, kamar dai yadda al’umman da Ubangiji ya kora daga gabansu suka yi. Suka yi muguntan da ya sa Ubangiji ya yi fushi.
Burning their offerings in all the high places, as those nations did whom the Lord sent away from before them; they did evil things, moving the Lord to wrath;
12 Suka bauta wa gumaka, ko da yake Ubangiji ya ce, “Ba za ku yi wannan ba.”
And they made themselves servants of disgusting things, though the Lord had said, You are not to do this.
13 Ubangiji ya yi wa Isra’ila da Yahuda kashedi ta bakin dukan annabawansa da kuma masu duba, cewa, “Ku juyo daga mugayen ayyukanku. Ku yi biyayya da umarnai da farillaina, bisa ga dukan Dokar da na dokaci kakanninku su bi, waɗanda na kuma bayar ta wurin bayina, annabawa.”
And he gave witness to Israel and Judah, by every prophet and seer, saying, Come back from your evil ways, and do my orders and keep my rules, and be guided by the law which I gave to your fathers and sent to you by my servants the prophets.
14 Amma ba su saurare ni ba don sun kangare kamar kakanninsu, waɗanda ba su amince da Ubangiji Allahnsu ba.
And they did not give ear, but became stiff-necked, like their fathers who had no faith in the Lord their God.
15 Suka yi watsi da farillansa da yarjejjeniyar da ya ƙulla da kakanninsu, da kuma kashedin da ya yi musu. Suka bi gumaka marasa amfani, wannan ya sa su ma kansu suka zama marasa amfani. Suka kwaikwayi sauran ƙasashen da suke kewaye da su, ko da yake Ubangiji ya umarce su cewa, “Kada ku yi rayuwa irin tasu,” suka kuwa yi abin da Ubangiji ya hana su.
And they went against his rules, and the agreement which he made with their fathers, and his laws which he gave them; they gave themselves up to things without sense or value, and became foolish like the nations round them, of whom the Lord had said, Do not as they do.
16 Suka wofinta dukan umarnan Ubangiji Allahnsu, suka yi wa kansu gumakan zubi na siffar’yan maruƙa biyu, da kuma ginshiƙin Ashera. Suka rusuna wa rundunan taurari, suka kuma yi wa Ba’al sujada.
And turning their backs on all the orders which the Lord had given them, they made for themselves images of metal, and the image of Asherah, worshipping all the stars of heaven and becoming servants to Baal.
17 Suka miƙa’ya’yansu maza da mata hadaya ta wuta. Suka yi duba, suka yi sihiri suka kuma ba da kansu ga mugunta a gaban Ubangiji; suka sa ya yi fushi.
And they made their sons and their daughters go through the fire, and they made use of secret arts and unnatural powers, and gave themselves up to doing evil in the eyes of the Lord, till he was moved to wrath.
18 Saboda haka Ubangiji ya yi fushi ƙwarai da Isra’ila, ya kuma kawar da su daga gabansa. Kabilar Yahuda kaɗai aka bari,
So the Lord was very angry with Israel, and his face was turned away from them: only the tribe of Judah kept its place.
19 ko Yahuda ma ba su kiyaye umarnan Ubangiji Allahnsu ba. Sun bi gurbin da Isra’ila ta kawo.
(But even Judah did not keep the orders of the Lord their God, but were guided by the rules which Israel had made.
20 Saboda haka Ubangiji ya wofinta mutanen Isra’ila; ya azabtar da su, ya kuma ba da su a hannun masu kwasar ganima, sai da ya shafe su ƙaƙaf daga gabansa.
So the Lord would have nothing to do with all the offspring of Israel, and sent trouble on them, and gave them up into the hands of their attackers, till he had sent them away from before his face.)
21 Sa’ad da ya ware Isra’ila daga gidan Dawuda, sai suka naɗa Yerobowam ɗan Nebat sarki a kansu. Yerobowam ya rinjayi Isra’ila daga ƙin Ubangiji, ya sa suka aikata babban zunubi.
For Israel was broken off from the family of David, and they made Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, king, who, driving them away from the laws of the Lord, made them do a great sin.
22 Isra’ila suka nace cikin dukan zunuban Yerobowam, ba su kuwa rabu da su ba
And the children of Israel went on with all the sins which Jeroboam did; they did not keep themselves from them;
23 har Ubangiji ya kawar da su daga gabansa, kamar yadda ya gargaɗe su ta bakin bayinsa annabawa. Saboda haka aka kwashi mutanen Isra’ila daga ƙasarsu zuwa bauta a Assuriya, har wa yau kuwa suna can.
Till the Lord put Israel away from before his face, as he had said by all his servants the prophets. So Israel was taken away from their land to Assyria, to this day.
24 Sarkin Assuriya ya kawo mutane daga Babilon, Kuta, Afa, Hamat da Sefarfayim ya zaunar da su a garuruwan Samariya don su maya gurbin Isra’ilawa. Suka mallaki Samariya suka kuma zauna a garuruwansu.
Then the king of Assyria took men from Babylon and from Cuthah and Avva and Hamath and Sepharvaim, and put them in the towns of Samaria in place of the children of Israel; so they got Samaria for their heritage, living in its towns.
25 Sa’ad da suka fara zama a can, ba su bauta wa Ubangiji ba; saboda haka ya aika da zakoki a tsakaninsu suka karkashe waɗansu mutane.
Now when first they were living there they did not give worship to the Lord. So the Lord sent lions among them, causing the death of some of them.
26 Sai aka faɗa wa sarkin Assuriya cewa, “Mutanen da ka kwashe ka zaunar a garuruwan Samariya fa ba su san abin da allahn ƙasar yake bukata ba. Saboda haka allahn ƙasar ya tura zakoki a cikinsu, waɗanda suke karkashe su, domin mutanen ba su san abin da yake bukata ba.”
So they said to the king of Assyria, The nations whom you have taken as prisoners and put in the towns of Samaria, have no knowledge of the way of the god of the land: so he has sent lions among them, causing their death, because they have no knowledge of his way.
27 Sai sarkin Assuriya ya ba da umarni cewa, “A sami wani daga cikin firistocin da aka kwaso zuwa bauta daga Samariya, yă koma yă zauna a can, yă koya wa mutanen abin da allahn ƙasar yake bukata.”
Then the king of Assyria gave orders, saying, Send there one of the priests whom you took away, and let him be living there and teaching the people the way of the god of the land.
28 Saboda haka ɗaya daga cikin firistocin da aka kawo bauta daga Samariya ya dawo ya zauna a Betel, ya koya musu yadda za su yi sujada ga Ubangiji.
So one of the priests whom they had taken away as a prisoner from Samaria came back, and, living in Beth-el, became their teacher in the worship of the Lord.
29 Duk da haka, jama’ar kowace ƙasa, suka ƙera tasu alloli a garuruwa masu yawa inda suke zaune, suka sa su a masujadan da mutanen Samariya suka gina a kan tuddai.
And every nation made gods for themselves, and put them in the houses of the high places which the Samaritans had made, every nation in the towns where they were living.
30 Mutane daga Babilon suka ƙera Sukkot Benot, mutane daga Kut suka ƙera Nergal, mutane daga Hamat suka ƙera Ashima;
The men of Babylon made Succoth-benoth, and the men of Cuth made Nergal, and the men of Hamath made Ashima,
31 Awwiyawa suka ƙera Nibhaz da Tartak, Sefarfayawa kuwa suka ƙone’ya’yansu a wuta a matsayi hadayu ga Adrammelek da Anammelek allolin Sefarfayim.
The Avvites made Nibhaz and Tartak, and the Sepharvites gave their children to be burned in the fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech, the gods of Sepharvaim.
32 Sun yi wa Ubangiji sujada, amma kuma suka zaɓi mutanensu su yi musu hidima a matsayin firistoci a masujadan da suke kan tuddai.
So they went on worshipping the Lord, and made for themselves, from among all the people, priests for the high places, to make offerings for them in the houses of the high places.
33 Sun yi wa Ubangiji sujada, amma kuma sun bauta wa allolinsu bisa ga al’adun ƙasashen da suka fito.
They gave worship to the Lord, but they gave honour to their gods like the nations did from whom they had been taken as prisoners.
34 Har yă zuwa yau, sun nace da ayyukansu na dā. Ba sa yin wa Ubangiji sujada, ba sa kuma bin dokoki da farillansa, dokoki da umarnan da Ubangiji ya ba wa zuriyar Yaƙub, wadda ya ba wa suna Isra’ila.
So to this day they go on in their old ways, not worshipping the Lord or keeping his orders or his ways or the law and the rule which the Lord gave to the children of Jacob, to whom he gave the name Israel;
35 Da Ubangiji ya ƙulla alkawari da Isra’ilawa, ya dokace su cewa, “Kada ku yi wa waɗansu alloli sujada ko ku durƙusa a gabansu ku bauta musu, ko ku miƙa musu hadaya.
And the Lord made an agreement with them and gave them orders, saying, You are to have no other gods; you are not to give worship to them or be their servants or make them offerings:
36 Amma Ubangiji wanda ya fito da ku daga Masar da iko mai girma da hannu mai ƙarfi, shi ne za ku yi masa sujada. Gare shi za ku durƙusa ku kuma miƙa masa hadayu.
But the Lord, who took you out of the land of Egypt with his great power and his outstretched arm, he is your God, to whom you are to give worship and make offerings:
37 Dole kullum ku mai da hankali ga kiyaye ƙa’idodi da farillan, dokoki da umarnan da ya rubuta muku. Kada ku yi wa waɗansu alloli sujada.
And the rules and the orders and the law which he put in writing for you, you are to keep and do for ever; you are to have no other gods.
38 Kada ku manta da alkawarin da na ƙulla da ku, kada ku yi sujada ga waɗansu alloli.
And you are to keep in memory the agreement which I have made with you; and you are to have no other gods.
39 Maimakon haka, ku yi wa Ubangiji Allahnku sujada; shi ne zai cece ku daga hannun abokan gābanku.”
And you are to give worship to the Lord your God; for it is he who will give you salvation from the hands of all who are against you.
40 Amma ba su saurara ba, suka nace da ayyukansu na dā.
But they gave no attention, but went on in their old way.
41 Ko ma yayinda mutanen nan suke yi wa Ubangiji sujada, ba su daina bauta wa gumakansu ba. Har yă zuwa yau,’ya’yansu da jikokinsu sun ci gaba da bin gurbin kakanninsu.
So these nations, worshipping the Lord, still were servants to the images they had made; their children and their children's children did the same; as their fathers did, so do they, to this day.
