Ii Regum 17
1 Anno duodecimo Achaz regis Iuda, regnavit Osee filius Ela in Samaria super Israel novem annis.
In the twelfth year of Ahaz king of Judah, Hoshea the son of Elah began to reign in Samaria over Israel, and reigned nine years.
2 Fecitque malum coram Domino: sed non sicut reges Israel, qui ante eum fuerant.
And he did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, yet not as the kings of Israel who were before him.
3 Contra hunc ascendit Salmanasar rex Assyriorum, et factus est ei Osee servus, reddebatque illi tributa.
Shalmaneser king of Assyria came up against him. And Hoshea became his servant, and brought him tribute.
4 Cumque deprehendisset rex Assyriorum Osee, quod rebellare nitens misisset nuncios ad Sua regem Aegypti, ne praestaret tributa regi Assyriorum sicut singulis annis solitus erat, obsedit eum, et vinctum misit in carcerem.
And the king of Assyria found conspiracy in Hoshea, for he had sent messengers to So king of Egypt, and offered no tribute 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 Pervagatusque est omnem terram: et ascendens Samariam, obsedit eam tribus annis.
Then the king of Assyria came up throughout all the land, and went up to Samaria, and besieged it three years.
6 Anno autem nono Osee, cepit rex Assyriorum Samariam, et transtulit Israel in Assyrios: posuitque eos in Hala, et in Habor iuxta fluvium Gozan, in civitatibus Medorum.
In the ninth year of Hoshea, the king of Assyria took Samaria, and carried Israel away to Assyria, and placed them in Halah, and on the Habor, the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes.
7 Factum est enim, cum peccassent filii Israel Domino Deo suo, qui eduxerat eos de Terra Aegypti, de manu Pharaonis regis Aegypti, coluerunt deos alienos.
And it was so, because the sons of Israel had sinned against Jehovah their God who brought them up out of the land of Egypt from under the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and had feared other gods,
8 Et ambulaverunt iuxta ritum Gentium, quas consumpserat Dominus in conspectu filiorum Israel, et regum Israel: quia similiter fecerant.
and walked in the statutes of the nations, whom Jehovah cast out from before the sons of Israel, and of the kings of Israel, which they made.
9 Et offenderunt filii Israel verbis non rectis Dominum Deum suum: et aedificaverunt sibi excelsa in cunctis urbibus suis a Turre custodum usque ad Civitatem munitam.
And the sons of Israel did things secretly that were not right against Jehovah their God. And they built for them high places in all their cities, from the tower of the watchmen to the fortified city.
10 Feceruntque sibi statuas, et lucos in omni colle sublimi, et subter omne lignum nemorosum:
And they set up for them pillars and Asherim upon every high hill, and under every green tree,
11 et adolebant ibi incensum super aras in morem Gentium, quas transtulerat Dominus a facie eorum: feceruntque verba pessima irritantes Dominum.
and there they burnt incense in all the high places, as the nations did whom Jehovah carried away before them. And they wrought wicked things to provoke Jehovah to anger.
12 et coluerunt immunditias, de quibus praecepit eis Dominus ne facerent verbum hoc.
And they served idols, of which Jehovah had said to them, Ye shall not do this thing.
13 Et testificatus est Dominus in Israel et in Iuda per manum omnium Prophetarum et Videntium, dicens: Revertimini a viis vestris pessimis, et custodite praecepta mea, et ceremonias iuxta omnem legem, quam praecepi patribus vestris: et sicut misi ad vos in manu servorum meorum Prophetarum.
Yet Jehovah testified to Israel, and to Judah, by every prophet, and every seer, saying, Turn ye 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 Qui non audierunt, sed induraverunt cervicem suam iuxta cervicem patrum suorum, qui noluerunt obedire Domino Deo suo.
Notwithstanding, they would not hear, but stiffened their neck, like the neck of their fathers who did not believe in Jehovah their God.
15 Et abiecerunt legitima eius, et pactum, quod pepigit cum patribus eorum, et testificationes, quibus contestatus est eos: secutique sunt vanitates, et vane egerunt: et secuti sunt Gentes, quae erant per circuitum eorum, super quibus praeceperat Dominus eis ut non facerent sicut et illae faciebant.
And they rejected his statutes, and his covenant that he made with their fathers, and his testimonies which he testified to them. And they followed vanity, and became vain, and went after the nations that were round about them, concerning whom Jehovah had charged them that they should not do like them.
16 Et dereliquerunt omnia praecepta Domini Dei sui: feceruntque sibi conflatiles duos vitulos, et lucos, et adoraverunt universam militiam caeli: servieruntque Baal,
And they forsook all the commandments of Jehovah their God, and made for them molten images, even two calves, and made an Asherah, and worshiped all the host of heaven, and served Baal.
17 et consecraverunt filios suos, et filias suas per ignem: et divinationibus inserviebant, et auguriis: et tradiderunt se ut facerent malum coram Domino, ut irritarent eum.
And they caused their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire, and used divination and enchantments, and sold themselves to do that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah to provoke him to anger.
18 Iratusque est Dominus vehementer Israeli, et abstulit eos a conspectu suo, et non remansit nisi tribus Iuda tantummodo.
Therefore Jehovah was very angry with Israel, and removed them out of his sight. There was none left but only the tribe of Judah.
19 Sed nec ipse Iuda custodivit mandata Domini Dei sui: verum ambulavit in erroribus Israel, quos operatus fuerat.
Also Judah did not keep the commandments of Jehovah their God, but walked in the statutes of Israel which they made.
20 Proiecitque Dominus omne semen Israel, et afflixit eos, et tradidit eos in manu diripientium, donec proiiceret eos a facie sua:
And Jehovah 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 ex eo iam tempore, quo scissus est Israel a domo David, et constituerunt sibi regem Ieroboam filium Nabat: separavit enim Ieroboam Israel a Domino, et peccare eos fecit peccatum magnum.
For he tore Israel from the house of David. And they made Jeroboam the son of Nebat king. And Jeroboam drove Israel from following Jehovah, and made them sin a great sin.
22 Et ambulaverunt filii Israel in universis peccatis Ieroboam quae fecerat: et non recesserunt ab eis,
And the sons of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam which he did. They did not depart from them
23 usque quo Dominus auferret Israel a facie sua, sicut locutus fuerat in manu omnium servorum suorum Prophetarum: translatusque est Israel de terra sua in Assyrios, usque in diem hanc.
until Jehovah removed Israel out of his sight, as he spoke by all his servants the prophets. So Israel was carried away out of their own land to Assyria to this day.
24 Adduxit autem rex Assyriorum de Babylone, et de Cutha, et de Avah, et de Emath, et de Sepharvaim: et collocavit eos in civitatibus Samariae pro filiis Israel: qui possederunt Samariam, et habitaverunt in urbibus eius.
And the king of Assyria brought men from Babylon, and from Cuthah, and from Avva, and from Hamath and Sepharvaim, and placed them in the cities of Samaria instead of the sons of Israel. And they possessed Samaria, and dwelt in the cities of it.
25 Cumque ibi habitare coepissent, non timebant Dominum: et immisit in eos Dominus leones, qui interficiebant eos.
And so it was, at the beginning of their dwelling there, that they were not afraid of Jehovah. Therefore Jehovah sent lions among them, which killed some of them.
26 Nunciatumque est regi Assyriorum, et dictum: Gentes, quas transtulisti, et habitare fecisti in civitatibus Samariae, ignorant legitima Dei terrae: et immisit in eos Dominus leones, et ecce interficiunt eos, eo quod ignorent ritum Dei terrae.
Therefore they spoke to the king of Assyria, saying, The nations which thou have carried away, and placed in the cities of Samaria know not the law of the god of the land. Therefore he has sent lions among them, and, behold, they kill them, because they do not know the law of the god of the land.
27 Praecepit autem rex Assyriorum, dicens: Ducite illuc unum de sacerdotibus, quos inde captivos adduxistis, et vadat, et habitet cum eis: et doceat eos legitima Dei terrae.
Then the king of Assyria commanded, saying, Carry there one of the priests whom ye brought from there, and let them go and dwell there. And let him teach them the law of the god of the land.
28 Igitur cum venisset unus de sacerdotibus his, qui captivi ducti fuerant de Samaria, habitavit in Bethel, et docebat eos quomodo colerent Dominum.
So one of the priests whom they had carried away from Samaria came and dwelt in Bethel, and taught them how they should fear Jehovah.
29 Et unaquaeque Gens fabricata est deum suum: posueruntque eos in fanis excelsis, quae fecerant Samaritae, Gens et Gens in urbibus suis, in quibus habitabat.
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 dwelt.
30 Viri enim Babylonii fecerunt Sochothbenoth: viri autem Cuthaei fecerunt Nergel: et viri de Emath fecerunt Asima.
And the men of Babylon made Succoth-benoth, and the men of Cuth made Nergal, and the men of Hamath made Ashima,
31 Porro Hevaei fecerunt Nebahaz et Tharthac. Hi autem, qui erant de Sepharvaim, comburebant filios suos igni, Adramelech et Anamelech diis Sepharvaim,
and the Avvites made Nibhaz and Tartak. And the Sepharvites burnt their sons in the fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech, the gods of Sepharvaim.
32 et nihilominus colebant Dominum. Fecerunt autem sibi de novissimis sacerdotes excelsorum, et ponebant eos in fanis sublimibus.
So they were afraid of Jehovah, and made for them priests of the high places from among themselves, who sacrificed for them in the houses of the high places.
33 Et cum Dominum colerent, diis quoque suis serviebant iuxta consuetudinem Gentium, de quibus translati fuerant Samariam:
They were afraid of Jehovah, and served their own gods, after the manner of the nations from among whom they had been carried away.
34 usque in praesentem diem morem sequuntur antiquum: non timent Dominum, neque custodiunt ceremonias eius, iudicia, et legem, et mandatum, quod praeceperat Dominus filiis Iacob, quem cognominavit Israel:
To this day they do after the former manner. They do not fear Jehovah, neither do they after their statutes, or after their ordinances, or after the law or after the commandment which Jehovah commanded the sons of Jacob, whom he named Israel,
35 et percusserat cum eis pactum, et mandaverat eis, dicens: Nolite timere deos alienos, et non adoretis eos, neque colatis eos, et non immoletis eis:
with whom Jehovah had made a covenant, and charged them, saying, Ye shall not fear other gods, nor bow yourselves to them, nor serve them, nor sacrifice to them.
36 Sed Dominum Deum vestrum, qui eduxit vos de Terra Aegypti in fortitudine magna, et in brachio extento, ipsum timete, et illum adorate, et ipsi immolate.
But Jehovah, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt with great power and with an outstretched arm, him ye shall fear, and to him ye shall bow yourselves, and to him ye shall sacrifice.
37 Ceremonias quoque, et iudicia, et legem, et mandatum, quod scripsit vobis, custodite ut faciatis cunctis diebus: et non timeatis deos alienos.
And the statutes and the ordinances, and the law and the commandment, which he wrote for you, ye shall observe to do for evermore. And ye shall not fear other gods.
38 Et pactum, quod percussit vobiscum, nolite oblivisci: nec colatis deos alienos,
And the covenant that I have made with you ye shall not forget. Neither shall ye fear other gods,
39 sed Dominum Deum vestrum timete, et ipse eruet vos de manu omnium inimicorum vestrorum.
but ye shall ye fear Jehovah your God, and he will deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies.
40 Illi vero non audierunt, sed iuxta consuetudinem suam pristinam perpetrabant.
However they did not hearken, but they did after their former manner.
41 Fuerunt igitur Gentes istae timentes quidem Dominum, sed nihilominus et idolis suis servientes: nam et filii eorum, et nepotes, sicut fecerunt patres sui, ita faciunt usque in praesentem diem.
So these nations were afraid of Jehovah, and served their graven images, their sons likewise, and their son's sons, as did their fathers, so do they to this day.
