Ii Regum 17
1 anno duodecimo Ahaz regis Iuda regnavit Osee filius Hela in Samaria super Israhel novem annis
In the twelfth year of Ahaz king of Judah reigned hath Hoshea son of Elah in Samaria, over Israel — nine years,
2 fecitque malum coram Domino sed non sicut reges Israhel qui ante eum fuerant
and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, only, not as the kings of Israel who were before him;
3 contra hunc ascendit Salmanassar rex Assyriorum et factus est ei Osee servus reddebatque illi tributa
against him came up Shalmaneser king of Asshur, and Hoshea is to him a servant, and doth render to him a present.
4 cumque deprehendisset rex Assyriorum Osee quod rebellare nitens misisset nuntios 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 findeth in Hoshea a conspiracy, in that he hath sent messengers unto So king of Egypt, and hath not caused a present to go up to the king of Asshur, as year by year, and the king of Asshur restraineth him, and bindeth him in a house of restraint.
5 pervagatusque est omnem terram et ascendens Samariam obsedit eam tribus annis
And the king of Asshur goeth up into all the land, and he goeth up to Samaria, and layeth siege against it three years;
6 anno autem nono Osee cepit rex Assyriorum Samariam et transtulit Israhel in Assyrios posuitque eos in Ala et in Habor iuxta fluvium Gozan in civitatibus Medorum
in the ninth year of Hoshea hath the king of Asshur captured Samaria, and removeth Israel to Asshur, and causeth 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 Israhel Domino Deo suo qui eduxerat eos de terra Aegypti de manu Pharaonis regis Aegypti coluerunt deos alienos
And it cometh to pass, because the sons of Israel have sinned against Jehovah their God — who bringeth 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 Israhel et regum Israhel quia similiter fecerant
and walk in the statutes of the nations that Jehovah dispossessed from the presence of the sons of Israel, and of the kings of Israel that they made;
9 et operuerunt filii Israhel 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 do covertly things that [are] not right against Jehovah their God, and build for them high places in all their cities, from a tower of the watchers unto the fenced city,
10 feceruntque sibi statuas et lucos in omni colle sublimi et subter omne lignum nemorosum
and set up for them standing-pillars and shrines on every high height, and under every green tree,
11 et adolebant ibi incensum super aras in more gentium quas transtulerat Dominus a facie eorum feceruntque verba pessima inritantes Dominum
and make perfume there in all high places, like the nations that Jehovah removed from their presence, and do evil things to provoke Jehovah,
12 et coluerunt inmunditias de quibus praecepit Dominus eis ne facerent verbum hoc
and serve the idols, of which Jehovah said to them, 'Ye do not do this thing;'
13 et testificatus est Dominus in Israhel et in Iuda per manum omnium prophetarum et videntum dicens revertimini a viis vestris pessimis et custodite praecepta mea et caerimonias iuxta omnem legem quam praecepi patribus vestris et sicut misi ad vos in manu servorum meorum prophetarum
And Jehovah testifieth 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 unto you by the hand of My servants the prophets;'
14 qui non audierunt sed induraverunt cervicem suam iuxta cervicem patrum suorum qui noluerunt oboedire Domino Deo suo
and they have not hearkened, and harden their neck, like the neck of their fathers, who did not remain stedfast 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 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 round about them, of whom Jehovah 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 Jehovah their God, and make to them a molten image — two calves, and make a shrine, and bow themselves to all the host of the heavens, and serve Baal,
17 et consecrabant ei filios suos et filias suas per ignem et divinationibus inserviebant et auguriis et tradiderunt se ut facerent malum coram Domino et inritarent eum
and cause their sons and their daughters to pass over through fire, and divine divinations, and use enchantments, and sell themselves to do the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, to provoke Him;
18 iratusque est Dominus vehementer Israhel et abstulit eos de conspectu suo et non remansit nisi tribus Iuda tantummodo
That Jehovah sheweth himself very angry against Israel, and turneth them aside from His presence; none hath been left, only the tribe of Judah by itself.
19 sed nec ipse Iuda custodivit mandata Domini Dei sui verum ambulavit in erroribus Israhel quos operatus fuerat
Also Judah hath not kept the commands of Jehovah their God, and they walk in the statutes of Israel that they had made.
20 proiecitque Dominus omne semen Israhel et adflixit eos et tradidit in manu diripientium donec proiceret eos a facie sua
And Jehovah kicketh against all the seed of Israel, and afflicteth them, and giveth them into the hand of spoilers, till that He hath cast them out of His presence,
21 ex eo iam tempore quo scissus est Israhel a domo David et constituerunt sibi regem Hieroboam filium Nabath separavit enim Hieroboam Israhel a Domino et peccare eos fecit peccatum magnum
for He hath rent Israel from the house of David, and they make Jeroboam son of Nebat king, and Jeroboam driveth Israel from after Jehovah, and hath caused them to sin a great sin,
22 et ambulaverunt filii Israhel in universis peccatis Hieroboam quae fecerat non recesserunt ab eis
and the sons of Israel walk in all the sins of Jeroboam that he did, they have not turned aside therefrom,
23 usquequo auferret Dominus Israhel a facie sua sicut locutus fuerat in manu omnium servorum suorum prophetarum translatusque est Israhel de terra sua in Assyrios usque in diem hanc
till that Jehovah hath turned Israel aside from His presence, as He spake by the hand of all His servants the prophets, and Israel is removed from off its land to Asshur, unto this day.
24 adduxit autem rex Assyriorum de Babylone et de Chutha et de Haiath et de Emath et de Sepharvaim et conlocavit eos in civitatibus Samariae pro filiis Israhel qui possederunt Samariam et habitaverunt in urbibus eius
And the king of Asshur bringeth in from Babylon and from Cutha, and from Ava, and from Hamath, and Sepharvaim, and causeth [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 inmisit eis Dominus leones qui interficiebant eos
and it cometh to pass, at the commencement of their dwelling there, they have not feared Jehovah, and Jehovah doth send among them the lions, and they are destroying among them.
26 nuntiatumque est regi Assyriorum et dictum gentes quas transtulisti et habitare fecisti in civitatibus Samariae ignorant legitima Dei terrae et inmisit 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 thou hast removed, and dost place in the cities of Samaria, have not known the custom of the God of the land, and He sendeth among them the lions, and lo, 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 commandeth, saying, 'Cause to go thither one of the priests whom ye removed thence, and they go and dwell there, and he doth teach 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 cometh in, and dwelleth in Beth-El, and he is teaching them how they do 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 habitabant
and they are making each nation its gods, and 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 Socchothbenoth viri autem chutheni 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 Evei fecerunt Nebaaz et Tharthac hii autem qui erant de Sepharvaim conburebant 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 Jehovah, and make to themselves from their extremities priests of high places, and they are acting 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
Jehovah they are fearing, and their gods they are serving, according to the custom of the nations whence they removed them.
34 usque in praesentem diem morem sequuntur antiquum non timent Dominum neque custodiunt caerimonias eius et iudicia et legem et mandatum quod praeceperat Dominus filiis Iacob quem cognominavit Israhel
Unto this day they are doing according to the former customs — they are not fearing Jehovah, and are not doing according to their statutes, and according to their ordinances, and according to the law, and according to the command, that Jehovah 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 et non immoletis eis
and Jehovah maketh with them a covenant, and chargeth them, saying, 'Ye 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 illum adorate et ipsi immolate
but Jehovah who brought you up out of the land of Egypt with great power, and with a stretched-out arm, Him ye do fear, and to Him ye bow yourselves, and to Him ye do sacrifice;
37 caerimonias 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, ye observe to do all the days, and ye do not fear other gods;
38 et pactum quod percussi vobiscum nolite oblivisci nec colatis deos alienos
and the covenant that I have made with you ye do not forget, and ye do not fear other gods;
39 sed Dominum Deum vestrum timete et ipse eruet vos de manu omnium inimicorum vestrorum
but Jehovah your God ye do fear, and He doth deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies;'
40 illi vero non audierunt sed iuxta consuetudinem suam pristinam perpetrabant
and they have not hearkened, but according to their former custom they are doing,
41 fuerunt igitur gentes istae timentes quidem Dominum sed nihilominus et idolis suis servientes nam et filii eorum et nepotes sicut fecerunt parentes sui ita faciunt usque in praesentem diem
and these nations are fearing Jehovah, and their graven images they have served, both their sons and their sons' sons; as their fathers did, they are doing unto this day.
