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 Achaz king of Juda, Osee the son of Ela reigned in Samaria over Israel 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 evil before the Lord: but not as the kings of Israel that had been before him.
3 Niakatra hanafika azy Salmanesera, mpanjakan’ i Asyria, ka dia tonga mpanompony nandoa hetra ho azy Hosea.
Against him came up Salmanasar king of the Assyrians, and Osee became his servant, and paid 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 when the king of the Assyrians found that Osee endeavouring to rebel had sent messengers to Sua the king of Egypt, that he might not pay tribute to the king of the Assyrians, as he had done every year, he besieged him, bound him, and cast him into prison,
5 Dia niakatra ny mpanjakan’ i Asyria ka nanenika ny tany; ary niakatra tany Samaria izy ka nanao fahirano azy telo taona.
And he went through all the land: and going up to Samaria, he 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.
And in the ninth year of Osee, the king of the Assyrians took Samaria, and carried Israel away to Assyria: and he placed them in Hala and Habor by the river of Gozan, 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
For so it was that the children of Israel had sinned against the Lord their God, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, from under the hand of Pharao king of Egypt, and they worshipped strange 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 they walked according to the way of the nations which the Lord had destroyed in the sight of the children of Israel and of the kings of Israel: because they had done in like manner.
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 offended the Lord their God with things that were not right: and built them high places in all their cities from the tower of the watchmen to the fenced 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 made them statues and groves on every high hill, and under every shady 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 they burnt incense there upon altars after the manner of the nations which the Lord had removed from their face: and they did wicked things, provoking the Lord.
12 Fa nanompo sampy, izay nandraran’ i Jehovah azy hoe: Aza manao izany zavatra izany ianareo.
And they worshipped abominations, concerning which the Lord had commanded them that they should 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.
And the Lord testified to them in Israel and in Juda by the hand of all the prophets and seers, saying: Return from your wicked ways, and keep my precepts, and ceremonies, according to all the law which I commanded your fathers: and as I have sent to you in the hand of my servants the prophets.
14 Kanefa tsy nihaino izy, fa nanamafy ny hatony, tahaka ny razany, izay tsy nino an’ i Jehovah Andriamaniny.
And they hearkened not, but hardened their necks like to the neck of their fathers, who would not obey the Lord 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 ordinances and the covenant that he made with their fathers, and the testimonies which he testified against them: and they followed vanities, and acted vainly: and they followed the nations that were round about them, concerning which the Lord had commanded them that they should not do as they did.
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 precepts of the Lord their God: and made to themselves two molten calves, and groves, and adored all the host of heaven: and they 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 consecrated their sons, and their daughters through fire: and they gave themselves to divinations, and soothsayings: and they delivered themselves up to do evil before the Lord, to provoke him.
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.
And the Lord was very angry with Israel, and removed them from his sight, and there remained only the tribe of Juda.
19 Ary ny Joda koa aza tsy mba nitandrina ny didin’ i Jehovah Andriamaniny, fa nandeha araka izay rehetra nataon’ ny Isiraely koa.
But neither did Juda itself keep the commandments of the Lord their God: but they walked in the errors of Israel, which they had wrought.
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 the Lord cast off all the seed of Israel, and afflicted them and delivered them into the hand of spoilers, till he cast them away from his face:
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.
Even from that time, when Israel was rent from the house of David, and made Jeroboam son of Nabat their king: for Jeroboam separated Israel from the Lord, and made them commit 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 had done: and 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.
Till the Lord removed Israel from his face, as he had spoken in the hand of all his servants the prophets: and Israel was carried away out of their 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 the Assyrians brought people from Babylon, and from Cutha, and from Avah, and from Emath, and from 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 when they began to dwell there, they feared not the Lord: and the Lord sent lions among them, which killed 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.
And it was told the king of the Assyrians, and it was said: The nations which thou hast removed, and made to dwell in the cities of Samaria, know not the ordinances of the God of the land: and the Lord hath sent lions among them: and behold they kill them, because they know not the manner 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.
And the king of the Assyrians commanded, saying: Carry thither one of the priests whom you brought from thence captive, and let him go, and dwell with them: and let him teach them the ordinances 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 who had been carried away captive from Samaria, came and dwelt in Bethel, and taught them how they should worship the Lord.
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.
And every nation made gods of their own, and put them in the temples of the high places, which the Samaritans had made, every nation in their cities where 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;
For the men of Babylon made Sochothbenoth: and the Cuthites made Nergel: and the men of Emath made Asima.
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 Hevites made Nebahaz and Tharthac. And they that were of Sepharvaim burnt their children in fire, to Adramelech and Anamelech 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.
And nevertheless they worshipped the Lord. And they made to themselves, of the lowest of the people, priests of the high places, and they placed them in the temples 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.
And when they worshipped the Lord, they served also their own gods according to the custom of the nations out of which they were brought to Samaria:
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 followed the old manner: they fear not the Lord, neither do they keep his ceremonies, and judgments, and law, and the commandment, which the Lord commanded the children of Jacob, whom he surnamed 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 he made a covenant, and charged them, saying: You shall not fear strange gods, nor shall you adore them, nor worship 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 the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt with great power, and a stretched out arm, him shall you fear, and him shall you adore, and to him shall you 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 ceremonies, and judgments, and law, and the commandment, which he wrote for you, you shall observe to do them always: and you shall not fear strange gods.
38 Ary ny fanekena izay nataoko taminareo dia aza hadinoinareo; ary aza matahotra izay andriamani-kafa ianareo;
And the covenant that he made with you, you shall not forget: neither shall ye worship strange gods,
39 Fa Jehovah Andriamanitrareo no aoka hatahoranareo; dia Izy no hamonjy anareo amin’ ny tanan’ ny fahavalonareo rehetra.
But fear the Lord your God, and he shall deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies.
40 Nefa tsy nety nihaino izy, fa nanao tahaka ny fanaony taloha ihany.
But they did not hearken, but did according to their old custom.
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 the Lord, but nevertheless served also their idols: their children also and grandchildren, as their fathers did, so do they unto this day.
