2 Mpanjaka 17
1 Tamin’ ny taona faharoa ambin’ ny folo nanjakan’ i Ahaza, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, no vao nanjakan’ i Hosea, zanak’ i Elaha, tamin’ ny Isiraely tao Samaria; ary nanjaka Sivy taona izy.
In the twelfth year of Ahaz king of Judah began Hoshea the son of Elah to reign in Samaria over Israel, [and reigned] nine years.
2 Ary nanao izay ratsy eo imason’ i Jehovah izy, nefa tsy dia tahaka ny nataon’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely teo alohany.
And he did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, yet not as the kings of Israel that were before him.
3 Niakatra hanafika azy Salmanesera, mpanjakan’ i Asyria, ka dia tonga mpanompony nandoa hetra ho azy Hosea.
Against him came up Shalmaneser king of Assyria; and Hoshea became his servant, and brought him tribute.
4 Ary ny mpanjakan’ i Asyria nahita fa niodina Hosea; fa efa naniraka olona tany amin’ i So, mpanjakan’ i Egypta, izy sady tsy nanatitra hetra ho an’ ny mpanjakan’ i Asyria intsony tahaka ny fanaony isan-taona; koa dia nanidy azy ny mpanjakan’ i Asyria sy namatotra azy tao an-trano-maizina.
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 Dia niakatra ny mpanjakan’ i Asyria ka nanenika ny tany; ary niakatra tany Samaria izy ka nanao fahirano azy telo taona.
Then the king of Assyria came up throughout all the land, and went up to Samaria, and besieged it three years.
6 Ary tamin’ ny taona fahasivy nanjakan’ i Hosea no nahafahan’ ny mpanjakan’ i Asyria an’ i Samaria, dia nentiny ho babo tany Asyria ny Isiraely ka namponeniny tao Hala sy teo amoron’ i Habora (dia ny onin’ i Gozana izany) ary teny amin’ ny tanànan’ ny Mediana.
In the ninth year of Hoshea the king of Assyria took Samaria, and carried Israel away unto Assyria, and placed them in Halah, and on the Habor, the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes.
7 Ary ny nahatongavan’ izany dia noho ny nanotan’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely tamin’ i Jehovah Andriamaniny, Izay nitondra azy nivoaka avy tany amin’ ny tany Egypta ho afaka tamin’ ny tànan’ i Farao, mpanjakan’ i Egypta, fa natahotra izay andriamani-kafa izy
And it was so, because the children 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 ka nandeha araka ny fanaon’ ny jentilisa izay noroahin’ i Jehovah tsy ho eo anoloan’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely sy araka ny didy izay nataon’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely.
and walked in the statutes of the nations, whom Jehovah cast out from before the children of Israel, and of the kings of Israel, which they made.
9 Ary ny Zanak’ Isiraely dia nanao teny tsy marina ho enti-manakona an’ i Jehovah Andriamaniny ka nanao fitoerana avo teny amin’ ny tanànany rehetra, dia hatramin’ ny tilikambon’ ny mpiambina ka hatramin’ ny tanàna mimànda.
And the children of Israel did secretly things that were not right against Jehovah their God: and they built them high places in all their cities, from the tower of the watchmen to the fortified city;
10 Ary nanangana tsangam-bato-tsampy sy Aseraha ho azy teny amin’ ny tendrombohitra avo rehetra sy teny ambanin’ ny hazo maitso rehetra izy;
and they set them up pillars and Asherim upon every high hill, and under every green tree;
11 ary nandoro ditin-kazo manitra teny amin’ ny fitoerana avo rehetra izy, tahaka ny nataon’ ny jentilisa izay noroahin’ i Jehovah tsy ho eo anoloany, sady nanao zavatra ratsy ka nampahatezitra an’ i Jehovah.
and there they burnt incense in all the high places, as did the nations whom Jehovah carried away before them; and they wrought wicked things to provoke Jehovah to anger;
12 Fa nanompo sampy, izay nandraran’ i Jehovah azy hoe: Aza manao izany zavatra izany ianareo.
and they served idols, whereof Jehovah had said unto them, Ye shall not do this thing.
13 Nefa ny mpaminany rehetra sy ny mpahita rehetra dia nasain’ i Jehovah nananatra ny Isiraely sy ny Joda hoe: Mialà amin’ ny lalanareo ratsy, ary tandremo ny lalàko sy ny didiko, araka ny lalàna rehetra izay nandidiako ny razanareo sy izay nanirahako ny mpaminany mpanompoko ho aminareo.
Yet Jehovah testified unto Israel, and unto 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 Kanefa tsy nihaino izy, fa nanamafy ny hatony, tahaka ny razany, izay tsy nino an’ i Jehovah Andriamaniny.
Notwithstanding, they would not hear, but hardened their neck, like to the neck of their fathers, who believed not in Jehovah their God.
15 Ary nolaviny ny didiny sy ny fanekeny izay nataony tamin’ ny razany mbamin’ ny teni-vavolombelony izay nananarany azy; ary nandeha nanaraka ny zava-poana izy, ka dia tonga zava-poana koa ary nanaraka ny jentilisa manodidina azy, izay efa nandraran’ i Jehovah azy mba tsy halainy tahaka.
And they rejected his statutes, and his covenant that he made with their fathers, and his testimonies which he testified unto 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 Ary nahafoy ny didin’ i Jehovah Andriamaniny rehetra izy ka nanao sarin-javatra an-idina ho an’ ny tenany, dia ombilahy kely roa, ary nanao Aseraha koa izy sady niankohoka teo anatrehan’ izay rehetra eny amin’ ny lanitra ary nanompo an’ i Bala.
And they forsook all the commandments of Jehovah their God, and made them molten images, even two calves, and made an Asherah, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served Baal.
17 Ary nampandeha ny zananilahy sy ny zananivavy hamaky ny afo izy, sady nanao fankatovana sy sikidy ary nivaro-tena hanao izay ratsy eo imason’ i Jehovah ka nampahatezitra Azy.
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 Koa dia tezitra indrindra tamin’ ny Isiraely Jehovah, dia nesoriny tsy ho eo imasony izy, ka tsy nisy sisa afa-tsy ny firenen’ i Joda ihany.
Therefore Jehovah was very angry with Israel, and removed them out of his sight: there was none left but the tribe of Judah only.
19 Ary ny Joda koa aza tsy mba nitandrina ny didin’ i Jehovah Andriamaniny, fa nandeha araka izay rehetra nataon’ ny Isiraely koa.
Also Judah kept not the commandments of Jehovah their God, but walked in the statutes of Israel which they made.
20 Dia narian’ i Jehovah ny taranak’ Isiraely rehetra ka nampahoriny sy natolony ho eo an-tànan’ ny mpamabo azy mandra-panaisony azy tsy ho eo imasony.
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 Fa nendahany niala tamin’ ny taranak’ i Davida ny Isiraely; ary ny olona nampanjaka an’ i Jeroboama, zanak’ i Nebata; ary Jeroboama dia nampiala ny Isiraely tsy hanaraka an’ i Jehovah ka nampanota azy indrindra.
For he rent 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 Ary ny Zanak’ Isiraely nandeha tamin’ ny fahotana rehetra nataon’ i Jeroboama, fa tsy niala tamin’ izany izy
And the children of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam which he did; they departed not from them;
23 Mandra-panaisotr’ i Jehovah ny Isiraely tsy ho eo anatrehany, araka izay nampilazainy ny mpaminany mpanompony rehetra. Ka dia lasan-ko babo niala tamin’ ny taniny ho any Asyria ny Isiraely ka mbola any mandraka androany.
until Jehovah removed Israel out of his sight, as he spake by all his servants the prophets. So Israel was carried away out of their own land to Assyria unto this day.
24 Ary ny mpanjakan’ i Asyria nitondra olona avy tany Babylona sy Kota sy Ava sy Hamata sy Sefarvaima ka namponina azy teny amin’ ny tanànan’ i Samaria nisolo ny Zanak’ Isiraely; dia nahazo an’ i Samaria ireny ka nitoetra teny amin’ ny tanànany.
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 children of Israel; and they possessed Samaria, and dwelt in the cities thereof.
25 Ary raha vao nonina tao ireny, dia tsy natahotra an’ i Jehovah; ary Jehovah kosa nampandeha ny liona hamely azy, ka nahafatesan’ ireny izy.
And so it was, at the beginning of their dwelling there, that they feared not Jehovah: therefore Jehovah sent lions among them, which killed some of them.
26 Dia hoy ny olona tamin’ ny mpanjakan’ i Asyria: Ny firenena izay nafindranao sy namponeninao eny amin’ ny tanànan’ i Samaria tsy mahalala izay tokony hatao amin’ ny Andriamanitry ny tany any, ka dia nampandeha ny liona hamely azy Izy; ary, indro, nahafatesan’ ireny izy noho ny tsi-fahalalany ny fanaon’ ny Andriamanitry ny tany.
Wherefore they spake to the king of Assyria, saying, The nations which thou hast carried away, and placed in the cities of Samaria, know not the law of the god of the land: therefore he hath sent lions among them, and, behold, they slay them, because they know not the law of the god of the land.
27 Ary ny mpanjakan’ i Asyria nandidy hoe: Iraho ho any ny anankiray amin’ ny mpisorona izay nentinareo ho babo avy tany, ary aoka handeha izy ka hitoetra any, dia aoka hampianatra azy izay tokony hatao amin’ ny Andriamanitry ny tany any izy.
Then the king of Assyria commanded, saying, Carry thither one of the priests whom ye brought from thence; and let them go and dwell there, and let him teach them the law of the god of the land.
28 Dia tonga ny mpisorona anankiray avy tamin’ izay efa nentiny ho babo avy tany Samaria ka nonina tao Betela, dia nampianatra azy izay fahatahorana an’ i Jehovah.
So one of the priests whom they had carried away from Samaria came and dwelt in Beth-el, and taught them how they should fear Jehovah.
29 Kanefa ny isam-pirenena mbola samy nanao ny andriamaniny avy ka nametraka azy tao amin’ ny trano eny amin’ ny fitoerana avo, izay nataon’ ny mponina tao Samaria, eny, ny isam-pirenena dia samy nanao tao amin’ ny tanàna nitoerany avy.
Howbeit 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 Koa ny olona avy any Babylona dia nanao an’ i Sokota-benota; ary ny olona avy any Kota nanao an’ i Nergala; ary ny olona avy any Hamata nanao an’ i Asima;
And the men of Babylon made Succoth-benoth, and the men of Cuth made Nergal, and the men of Hamath made Ashima,
31 ary ny Avita nanao an’ i Nibaza sy Tartaka; ary ny Sefarvita nandoro ny zanany tamin’ ny afo ho an’ i Adrameleka Anameleka, andriamanitr’ i Sefarvaima.
and the Avvites made Nibhaz and Tartak; and the Sepharvites burnt their children in the fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech, the gods of Sepharvaim.
32 Dia natahotra an’ i Jehovah ny olona, ary izay avy tamin’ ny ankabiazam-bahoaka no notendreny ho mpisorona amin’ ny fitoerana avo, ary ireny no nanatitra fanatitra tao amin’ ny trano eny amin’ ny fitoerana avo nisolo ny vahoaka.
So they feared Jehovah, and made unto them from among themselves priests of the high places, who sacrificed for them in the houses of the high places.
33 Jehovah dia natahorany ihany, kanefa mbola nanompo ny andriamaniny avy koa izy araka ny fanaon’ ny firenena izay efa nangalana azy avy.
They feared Jehovah, and served their own gods, after the manner of the nations from among whom they had been carried away.
34 Mandraka androany dia mbola manao araka ny fanaony teo ihany izy: tsy dia matahotra an’ i Jehovah, ary tsy dia manao araka ny fomban-drazany, na araka ny lalàna sy ny didy izay nandidian’ i Jehovah ny taranak’ i Jakoba, izay nataony hoe Isiraely
Unto this day they do after the former manner: they fear not Jehovah, neither do they after their statutes, or after their ordinances, or after the law or after the commandment which Jehovah commanded the children of Jacob, whom he named Israel;
35 Sady nanaovany fanekena sy nodidiany hoe: Aza matahotra izay andriamani-kafa, na miankohoka eo anatrehany, na manompo azy, na namono zavatra hatao fanaritra ho azy;
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 Fa Jehovah, Izay nitondra anareo nivoaka avy tany amin’ ny tany Egypta tamin’ ny hery lehibe sy ny sandry nahinjitra, dia aoka Izy ihany no hatahoranareo, ary ho eo anatrehany no hiankohofanareo, ary ho Azy no hamonoanareo zavatra hatao fanatitra;
but Jehovah, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt with great power and with an outstretched arm, him shall ye fear, and unto him shall ye bow yourselves, and to him shall ye sacrifice:
37 Ary ny didy sy ny fitsipika sy ny lalàna ary ny teny izay nosoratany ho anareo no aoka hotandremanareo hatao mandrakariva; ary aza matahotra izay andriamani-kafa;
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 Ary ny fanekena izay nataoko taminareo dia aza hadinoinareo; ary aza matahotra izay andriamani-kafa ianareo;
and the covenant that I have made with you ye shall not forget; neither shall ye fear other gods:
39 Fa Jehovah Andriamanitrareo no aoka hatahoranareo; dia Izy no hamonjy anareo amin’ ny tanan’ ny fahavalonareo rehetra.
but Jehovah your God shall ye fear; and he will deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies.
40 Nefa tsy nety nihaino izy, fa nanao tahaka ny fanaony taloha ihany.
Howbeit they did not hearken, but they did after their former manner.
41 Ka dia natahotra an’ i Jehovah ihany ireo firenena ireo, kanefa nanompo ny sarin-javatra voasokitra izy hatramin’ ny zanany sy ny zafiny koa aza; tahaka ny fanaon’ ny razany ihany no nataon’ ireny mandraka androany.
So these nations feared Jehovah, and served their graven images; their children likewise, and their children’s children, as did their fathers, so do they unto this day.
