II Na Lii 17
1 I KA makahiki umikumamalua o Ahaza ke alii o ka Iuda, i lilo ai o Hosea ke keiki a Ela i alii ma Samaria maluna o ka Iseraela i na makahiki eiwa.
In the twelfth year of Ahaz king of Judah, the reign of Hoshea son of Elah began. He ruled in Samaria over Israel for nine years.
2 A hana ino aku la ia imua o Iehova, aole nae i like me na'lii o ka Iseraela mamua ona.
He did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh, yet not as the kings of Israel who were before him.
3 Hele ku e mai la o Salemanesera ke alii o Asuria ia ia; a lilo o Hosea i kauwa nana, a hookupu aku nona.
Shalmaneser king of Assyria attacked him, and Hoshea became his servant and brought him tribute.
4 A ike iho la ke alii o Asuria i ka manao o Hosea e kipi; no ka mea, ua hoouna aku ia i na elele ia So, ke alii o Aigupita, aole hoi ia i hookupu no ke alii o Asuria i kela makahiki keia makahiki; nolaila hoopaa aku la ke alii o Asuria ia ia, a hahao ia ia iloko o ka halepaahao.
Then the king of Assyria realized that Hoshea had been plotting against him, for Hoshea had sent messengers to So king of Egypt; also, he offered no tribute to the king of Assyria, as he had done year by year. So the king of Assyria shut him up and bound him in prison.
5 Alaila pii mai la ke alii o Asuria maloko o ka aina a pau, a hele mai i Samaria, a hoopilikia aku la ia wahi i na makahiki ekolu.
Then the king of Assyria attacked throughout all the land, and attacked Samaria and besieged it for three years.
6 I ka makahiki eiwa o Hosea, hoopio aku la ke alii o Asuria ia Samaria, a lawe pio aku la i ka Iseraela i Asuria, a hoonoho iho la ia lakou ma Hala, a ma Habora ma ka muliwai o Gozana, a ma na kulanakauhale o ko Media.
In the ninth year of Hoshea, the king of Assyria took Samaria and carried Israel away to Assyria. He put them in Halah, at the Habor River of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes.
7 No ka mea, ua hana hewa na mamo a Iseraela ia Iehova ko lakou Akua, nana lakou i lawe ae mai ka aina o Aigupita mai, mai lalo mai o ka lima o Parao, ke alii o Aigupita, a ua malama lakou i na akua e.
This captivity happened because the people of Israel had sinned against Yahweh their God, who had brought them up from the land of Egypt, from under the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt. The people had been worshiping other gods
8 A ua hele lakou ma na kanawai o na lahuikanaka e, na mea a Iehova i kipaku ae mai ke alo aku o na mamo a Iseraela, a me ko na'lii o ka Iseraela a lakou i hana'i.
and walking in the practices of the nations whom Yahweh had driven out before the people of Israel, and in the practices of the kings of Israel that they had done.
9 A ua hana malu na mamo a Iseraela i na mea pono ole ia Iehova ko lakou Akua, a ua hana no lakou i na heiau ma ko lakou mau kulanakauhale a pau, mai ka puu kaua o ka poe kiai, a hiki i ke kulanakauhale paa i ka papohaku.
The people of Israel did secretly—against Yahweh their God—things that were not right. They built for themselves high places in all their cities, from the watchtower to the fortress.
10 A kukulu lakou i na kii, i na kii hoi o Aseterota, ma na puu kiekie a pau, a malalo o na laau uliuli a pau.
They also set up stone pillars and Asherah poles on every high hill and under every green tree.
11 A malaila lakou i kuni ai i ka mea ala ma na heiau a pau, e like me na lahuikanaka a Iehova i kipaku ae mai ko lakou alo aku; a hana lakou i na mea ino e hoonaukiuki aku ia Iehova.
There they burned incense in all the high places, as the nations had done, those whom Yahweh had carried away before them. The Israelites performed wicked things to provoke Yahweh to anger;
12 A malama lakou i na kii, i na mea a Iehova i i mai ai, Mai hana oukou i keia mea.
they worshiped idols, about which Yahweh had said to them, “You will not do this thing.”
13 Aka, ua ao mai no o Iehova i ka Iseraela, a i ka Iuda, ma na kaula a pau, ma na mea ike a pau, i ka i ana mai, E huli mai oukou mai ko oukou aoao hewa mai, a e malama i ka'u mau kauoha, i ko'u mau kanawai, e like me ke kanawai a pau a'u i kauoha aku ai i ko oukou poe kupuna, a ma ka mea a'u i hoouna aku ai ma ka'u poe kauwa ma na kaula.
Yet Yahweh had testified to Israel and to Judah by every prophet and every seer, saying, “Turn from your evil ways and keep my commandments and my statutes, and be careful to keep all the law I commanded your fathers, and that I sent to you by my servants the prophets.”
14 Aole nae lakou i malama, hooolea lakou i ko lakou a-i, e like me ka a-i o ko lakou poe kupuna, ka poe manaoio ole ia Iehova ko lakou Akua.
But they would not listen; instead they were very stubborn like their fathers who did not trust in Yahweh their God.
15 A hoowahawaha lakou i kona mau kanawai, a me kana berita ana i hana'i me ko lakou poe kupuna, a me na kauoha ana i haawi mai ai ia lakou; a hele lakou mamuli o na kii lapuwale, a lilo lakou i poe lapuwale, a hele mamuli o na lahuikanaka e puni ana ia lakou, na mea a Iehova i kauoha mai ai, mai hana like oukou me lakou.
They rejected his statutes and the covenant that he had made with their ancestors, and the covenant decrees that he had given to them. They followed useless practices and they themselves became useless. They followed the pagan nations who were around them, those that Yahweh had commanded them not to imitate.
16 A haalele lakou i na kauoha a pau a Iehova ko lakou Akua, a hana no lakou i kii i hooheeheeia, i elua keikibipi, a hana lakou i kii no Aseterota, a hoomana lakou i na puali o ka lani, a malama lakou ia Baala.
They ignored all the commandments of Yahweh their God. They made cast metal figures of two calves to worship. They made an Asherah pole, and they worshiped all the stars of the heavens and Baal.
17 A kaumaha aku i ka lakou poe keikikane, a me ka lakou poe kaikamahine i ke ahi, a hana lakou i ka anaana hookilokilo, a hoolilo lakou ia lakou iho e hana hewa imua o Iehova, e hoonaukiuki ia ia.
They made their sons and daughters pass through the fire, they used divination and enchantments, they sold themselves to do that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, and they provoked him to anger.
18 No ia mea, inaina nui mai la o Iehova i ka Iseraela, a hookuke aku la ia lakou mai kona maka aku; aohe mea i koe, o ka ohana o ka Iuda wale no.
Therefore Yahweh was very angry with Israel and removed them out of his sight. There was no one left but the tribe of Judah alone.
19 Aole no hoi i malama ka Iuda i na kauoha a Iehova ko lakou Akua; aka, hele no lakou ma na kanawai o ka Iseraela a lakou i hana'i.
Even Judah did not keep the commandments of Yahweh their God, and they followed the practices that Israel had done.
20 A hoowahawaha o Iehova i na mamo a pau a Iseraela, a hookaumaha ia lakou, a haawi aku ia lakou iloko o ka lima o ka poe luku wale, a pau lakou i ka hooleiia'ku e ia mai kona maka aku.
So Yahweh rejected all the descendants of Israel; he afflicted them and gave them into the hand of those who would take the possession as spoil, until he had cast them out of his sight.
21 No ka mea, hoonahae ae la ia i ka Iseraela mai ko ka hale o Davida aku; a hooalii lakou ia Ieroboama ke keiki a Nebata: a hookuke aku la o Ieroboama i ka Iseraela mai ka hahai ana ia Iehova, a hoolilo ia lakou i ka hewa nui.
He tore Israel from the royal line of David, and they made Jeroboam son of Nebat king. Jeroboam drove Israel away from following Yahweh and made them commit a great sin.
22 No ka mea, hele no na mamo a Iseraela iloko o na hewa a pau o Ieroboama ana i hana'i; aole lakou i haalele ia mea;
The people of Israel followed all the sins of Jeroboam and they did not depart from them,
23 A hiki i ka wa a Iehova i hoonee aku ai i ka Iseraela mai kona maka aku, e like me kana i olelo mai ai ma kana poe kauwa a pau, ma na kaula. A laweia'ku ka Iseraela mai kona aina aku i Asuria, a hiki i keia la.
so Yahweh removed Israel from his sight, as he had said through all his servants the prophets that he would. So Israel was carried away out of their own land to Assyria, and it is this way to this present day.
24 A lawe mai ke alii o Asuria [i na kanaka] mai Babulona mai, a mai Kuta mai, a mai Ava mai, a mai Hamata mai, a mai Separevaima mai, a hoonoho ia lakou ma na kulanakauhale o Samaria, ma kahi o na mamo a Iseraela; a komo lakou i Samaria, a noho iho la ma kona mau kulanakauhale.
The king of Assyria brought people from Babylon and from Kuthah, and from Avva, and from Hamath and Sepharvaim, and placed them in the cities of Samaria in place of the people of Israel. They took over Samaria and lived in its cities.
25 A i ko lakou hoomaka ana e noho malaila, aole lakou i makau ia Iehova; a hoouna mai o Iehova i na liona iwaena o lakou, a pepehi mai i kekahi poe o lakou.
It happened at the beginning of their residence there that they did not honor Yahweh. So Yahweh sent lions among them which killed some of them.
26 A olelo aku la lakou i ke alii o Asuria, i aku la, O na lahuikanaka au i lawe mai ai a hoonoho ma na kulanakauhale o Samaria, aole lakou i ike i ke ano o ke Akua o ka aina: nolaila, ua hoouna mai ia i na liona iwaena o lakou, aia hoi, ke luku mai nei ia lakou no ko lakou ike ole i ke ano o ke Akua o ka aina.
So they spoke to the king of Assyria, saying, “The nations that you have carried away and placed in the cities of Samaria do not know the practices required by the god of the land. So he has sent lions among them, and, see, the lions are killing people there because they do not know the practices required by the god of the land.”
27 Alaila kauoha mai la ke alii o Asuria, i mai la, E lawe aku ilaila i kekahi o na kahuna a oukou i lawe mai nei mai laila mai; a e hele lakou a noho malaila, a e hoike aku oia ia lakou i ke ano o ke Akua o ka aina.
Then the king of Assyria commanded, saying, “Take one of the priests there whom you brought from there, and let him go and live there, and let him teach them the practices required by the god of the land.”
28 Alaila hele mai kekahi o na kahuna a lakou i lawe ae mai Samaria aku, a noho ma Betela, a ao aku ia ia lakou e makau lakou ia Iehova.
So one of the priests whom they had carried away from Samaria came and lived in Bethel; he taught them how they should honor Yahweh.
29 Aka, hana aku no kela lahuikanaka keia luhuikanaka i na akua no lakou iho, a kukulu ma na hale o na heiau a ko Samaria i hana'i, o kela lahuikanaka keia lahuikanaka ma ko lakou mau kulanakauhale, kahi a lakou i noho ai.
Every ethnic group made gods of their own, and put them in the high places that the Samaritans had made—every ethnic group in the cities where they lived.
30 A hana aku la na kanaka no Babulona ia Sukote-benota, a hana aku la na kanaka no Kuta ia Neregala, a hana aku na kanaka no Hamata ia Asima,
The people of Babylon made Succoth Benoth; the people of Kuthah made Nergal; the people of Hamath made Ashima;
31 A hana aku ko Ava ia Nibehaza, a me Taretaka, a kaumaha aku la ko Separevaima i ka lakou keiki i ke ahi no Aderameleka, a no Anameleka, na akua o ko Separevaima.
the Avvites made Nibhaz and Tartak. The Sepharvites burned their children in the fire to Adrammelek and Anammelek, the gods of the Sepharvites.
32 A makau lakou ia Iehova, a hana lakou, noloko mai o ko lakou poe ilalo loa, i kahuna na lakou no na heiau, a kaumaha aku lakou no lakou la iloko o na hale o na heiau.
They also honored Yahweh, and appointed from among themselves priests of the high places, who sacrificed for them in the temples at the high places.
33 Makau no lakou ia Iehova, a malama lakou i ko lakou mau akua iho, e like me na lahuikanaka, a lakou i lawe pio ai mai laila aku.
They honored Yahweh and also worshiped their own gods, in the customs of the nations from among whom they had been taken away.
34 A hiki i keia wa, hana no lakou ma ke ano o na mea mamua: aole lakou e makau ia Iehova, aole lakou e hana e like me ko lakou mau kanawai, a me ka lakou olelo kupaa, a me ke kanawai a me ke kauoha a Iehova i kauoha mai ai i na mamo a Iakoba, ka mea ana i kapa iho ai o Iseraela;
To this day they persist in their old customs. They neither honor Yahweh, nor do they follow the statutes, decrees, the law, or the commandments that Yahweh gave to the people of Jacob—whom he named Israel—
35 I ka poe a Iehova i hookuikahi ai, a kauona ia lakou, i aku la, Mai makau oukou i na akua e, mai kulou oukou ilalo ia lakou, mai malama ia lakou, mai kaumaha aku no lakou.
and with whom Yahweh had made a covenant and commanded them, “You will not fear other gods, nor bow yourselves to them, nor worship them, nor sacrifice to them.
36 Aka, o Iehova, nana oukou i lawe ae mai ka aina o Aigupita mai me ka mana, a me ka lima kakauha, oia ka oukou e makau ai, a e hoomana ai, a nona oukou e kaumaha aku ai.
But Yahweh, who brought you up from the land of Egypt with great power and a raised arm, is the one you must honor; it is to him that you will prostrate yourselves, and it is to him that you will sacrifice.
37 A o na olelo, a me ka olelo kupaa o ke kanawai, a me ke kauoha ana i kakau ai no oukou, oia ka oukou e ao e malama i na la a pau; a mai makau i na akua e.
The statutes and the decrees, the law and the commandments that he wrote for you, you will keep them forever. So you must not fear other gods,
38 A mai hoopoina oukou i ka berita a'u i hana'i me oukou; mai makau hoi oukou i na akua e.
and the covenant that I have made with you, you will not forget; neither will you honor other gods.
39 Aka, o Iehova ko oukou Akua, oia ka oukou e makau ai; a nana no oukou e hoopakele i ka lima o ko oukou poe enemi a pau.
But Yahweh your God is who you will honor. He will rescue you from the might of your enemies.”
40 Aole nae lakou i hoolohe, aka, hana no lakou ma ke ano o na mea mamua.
They would not listen, because they continued to do what they had done in the past.
41 A makau keia mau lahuikanaka ia Iehova, a malama lakou i ko lakou kiikalai, o ka lakou poe keiki a me na keiki a ka lakou poe keiki; e like me ka mea a ko lakou makua i hana'i, pela ka lakou hana ana a hiki i keia la.
So these nations feared Yahweh and they also worshiped their carved figures, and their children did the same—as did their children's children. They continue to do what their ancestors did, up to this day.
