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 son of Elah has reigned over Israel in Samaria, nine years,
2 Fecitque malum coram Domino: sed non sicut reges Israel, qui ante eum fuerant.
and he does evil in the eyes of YHWH, only, 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 Asshur came up against him, and Hoshea is a servant to him, and renders a present to him.
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 Asshur finds in Hoshea a conspiracy, in that he has sent messengers to So king of Egypt, and has not caused a present to go up to the king of Asshur, as year by year, and the king of Asshur restrains him, and binds him in a house of restraint.
5 Pervagatusque est omnem terram: et ascendens Samariam, obsedit eam tribus annis.
And the king of Asshur goes up into all the land, and he goes up to Samaria, and lays siege against it [for] 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 Asshur has captured Samaria, and removes Israel to Asshur, and causes them to dwell in Halah, and in Habor, [by] the river 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 comes to pass, because the sons of Israel have sinned against their God YHWH—who brings them up out of the land of Egypt, from under the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt—and fear other gods,
8 Et ambulaverunt iuxta ritum Gentium, quas consumpserat Dominus in conspectu filiorum Israel, et regum Israel: quia similiter fecerant.
and walk in the statutes of the nations that YHWH dispossessed from the presence of the sons of Israel, and of the kings of Israel that 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 covertly do things that [are] not right against their God YHWH, and build high places for themselves in all their cities, from a tower of the watchers to the fortified city,
10 Feceruntque sibi statuas, et lucos in omni colle sublimi, et subter omne lignum nemorosum:
and set up standing-pillars and Asherim for themselves on every high height, 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 make incense there in all high places, like the nations that YHWH removed from their presence, and do evil things to provoke YHWH,
12 et coluerunt immunditias, de quibus praecepit eis Dominus ne facerent verbum hoc.
and serve the idols, of which YHWH said to them, “You do 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.
And YHWH testifies against Israel, and against Judah, by the hand of every prophet, and every seer, saying, “Turn back from your evil ways, and keep My commands, My statutes, according to all the Law that I commanded your fathers, and that I sent to you by the hand of My servants the prophets”;
14 Qui non audierunt, sed induraverunt cervicem suam iuxta cervicem patrum suorum, qui noluerunt obedire Domino Deo suo.
and they have not listened, and harden their neck, like the neck of their fathers, who did not remain steadfast in their God YHWH,
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 reject His statutes and His covenant that He made with their fathers, and His testimonies that He testified against them, and go after the vain thing, and become vain, and after the nations that are around them, of whom YHWH commanded them not to 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 forsake all the commands of their God YHWH, and make a molten image for themselves—two calves, and make an Asherah, and bow themselves to all the host of the heavens, and serve Ba‘al,
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 cause their sons and their daughters to pass over through fire, and divine divinations, and use enchantments, and sell themselves to do evil in the eyes of YHWH, to provoke Him.
18 Iratusque est Dominus vehementer Israeli, et abstulit eos a conspectu suo, et non remansit nisi tribus Iuda tantummodo.
And YHWH shows Himself very angry against Israel, and turns them aside from His presence; none has been left, only the tribe of Judah by itself.
19 Sed nec ipse Iuda custodivit mandata Domini Dei sui: verum ambulavit in erroribus Israel, quos operatus fuerat.
Also Judah has not kept the commands of their God YHWH, and they walk in the statutes of Israel that they had made.
20 Proiecitque Dominus omne semen Israel, et afflixit eos, et tradidit eos in manu diripientium, donec proiiceret eos a facie sua:
And YHWH kicks against all the seed of Israel, and afflicts them, and gives them into the hand of spoilers, until He has cast them out of His presence,
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 has torn Israel from the house of David, and they make Jeroboam son of Nebat king, and Jeroboam drives Israel from after YHWH, and has caused them to 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 walk in all the sins of Jeroboam that he did, they have not turned aside 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 YHWH has turned Israel aside from His presence, as He spoke by the hand of all His servants the prophets, and Israel is removed from off its land to Asshur, 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 Asshur brings in [people] from Babylon and from Cutha, and from Ava, and from Hamath, and Sepharvaim, and causes [them] to dwell in the cities of Samaria instead of the sons of Israel, and they possess Samaria, and dwell in its cities;
25 Cumque ibi habitare coepissent, non timebant Dominum: et immisit in eos Dominus leones, qui interficiebant eos.
and it comes to pass, at the commencement of their dwelling there, they have not feared YHWH, and YHWH sends the lions among them, and they are destroying among 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.
And they speak to the king of Asshur, saying, “The nations that you have removed and place in the cities of Samaria have not known the custom of the God of the land, and He sends the lions among them, and behold, they are destroying them, as they do not know the custom 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.
And the king of Asshur commands, saying, “Cause one of the priests to go there whom you removed from there, and they go and dwell there, and he teaches them the custom 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.
And one of the priests whom they removed from Samaria comes in, and dwells in Beth-El, and he is teaching them how they fear YHWH,
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.
and each nation is making its gods, and they place [them] in the houses of the high places that the Samaritans have made—each nation in their cities where they are dwelling.
30 Viri enim Babylonii fecerunt Sochothbenoth: viri autem Cuthaei fecerunt Nergel: et viri de Emath fecerunt Asima.
And the men of Babylon have made Succoth-Benoth, and the men of Cuth have made Nergal, and the men of Hamath have 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 Avites have made Nibhaz and Tartak, and the Sepharvites are burning their sons with fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech, gods of Sepharvim.
32 et nihilominus colebant Dominum. Fecerunt autem sibi de novissimis sacerdotes excelsorum, et ponebant eos in fanis sublimibus.
And they are fearing YHWH, and make for themselves from their extremities priests of high places, and they are working for them in the house of the high places.
33 Et cum Dominum colerent, diis quoque suis serviebant iuxta consuetudinem Gentium, de quibus translati fuerant Samariam:
They are fearing YHWH, and they are serving their gods, according to the custom of the nations from where they removed them.
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 are doing according to the former customs—they are not fearing YHWH, and are not doing according to their statutes, and according to their ordinances, and according to the Law, and according to the command, that YHWH commanded the sons of Jacob whose name He made 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:
and YHWH makes a covenant with them and charges them, saying, “You do 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 YHWH who brought you up out of the land of Egypt with great power, and with an outstretched arm, Him you fear, and to Him you bow yourselves, and to Him you 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 judgments, and the Law, and the command, that He wrote for you, you observe to do all the days, and you do not fear other gods;
38 Et pactum, quod percussit vobiscum, nolite oblivisci: nec colatis deos alienos,
and you do not forget the covenant that I have made with you, and you do not fear other gods;
39 sed Dominum Deum vestrum timete, et ipse eruet vos de manu omnium inimicorum vestrorum.
but you fear your God YHWH, and He delivers you out of the hand of all your enemies”;
40 Illi vero non audierunt, sed iuxta consuetudinem suam pristinam perpetrabant.
and they have not listened, but they are doing according to their former custom,
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.
and these nations are fearing YHWH, and they have served their carved images, both their sons and their sons’ sons; as their fathers did, they are doing to this day.
