2 Mpanjaka 17
1 An-taom-paha folo-ro’ ambi’ i Ahkaze mpanjaka’ Iehodày ty niorota’ i Hosea ana’ i Elà nifehe Israele e Somerone ao sive taoñe.
In the twelfth year of Ahaz, the king of Judah: Hoshea, the son of Elah, reigned over Israel, in Samaria, for nine years.
2 Le nanoe’e haratiañe am-pivazohoa’ Iehovà, f’ie tsy nanahake o mpanjaka’ Israele taolo’eo.
And he did evil before the Lord, but not like the kings of Israel who had been before him.
3 Nionjomb’ ama’e mb’eo t’i Salmanesere mpanjaka’ i Asore; le ninjare mpitoro’e t’i Hosea vaho nandroroñe ama’e.
Shalmaneser, the king of the Assyrians, ascended against him. And Hoshea became a servant to him, and he paid him tribute.
4 Fe nahaoniñe kilily amy Hosea ty mpanjaka’ i Asore, amy te nañitrifa’e ìrake t’i So, mpanjaka’ i Mitsraime vaho tsy ninday rorotse amy mpanjaka’ i Asorey manahake ty lili’e boa-taoñe; aa le narindri’e an-drohy am-porozò ao.
And when the king of the Assyrians discovered that Hoshea, striving to rebel, had sent messengers to Sais, to the king of Egypt, so as not to present the tribute to the king of the Assyrians, as he had been accustomed to do each year, he besieged him. And having been bound, he cast him into prison.
5 Nionjomb’eo nanitsike i tane iabiy ty mpanjaka’ i Asore le nigodañe mb’e Somerone vaho niarikatok’ aze telo taoñe.
And he wandered through the entire land. And ascending to Samaria, he besieged it for three years.
6 Amy taom-paha sive’ i Hoseay, le naname i Somerone ty mpanjaka’ i Asore vaho nendese’e mb’e Asore mb’ eo t’Israele le napo’e e Kalake vaho e Kabore marine ty rano Gozane an-drova’ o nte-Madaio añe.
And in the ninth year of Hoshea, the king of the Assyrians captured Samaria, and he carried away Israel to Assyria. And he stationed them in Halah and in Habor, beside the river of Gozan, in the cities of the Medes.
7 Toly amy zao ty hakeo’ o ana’ Israeleo amy Iehovà Andrianañahare’ iareo, i nañakats’ iareo an-tane’ Mitsraime boak’ am-pità’ i Parò mpanjaka’ i Mitsraimey, ie nañeveñe amo ‘ndrahare ila’eo
For it happened that, when the sons of Israel had sinned against the Lord, their God, who had led them away from the land of Egypt, from the hand of Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, they worshipped strange gods.
8 naho nañavelo am-pañè’ o kilakila’ ondaty rinoa’ Iehovà añatrefa’ o ana’ Israeleoo vaho ty amo sata’ o mpanjaka’ Israeleo.
And they walked according to the rituals of the nations that the Lord had consumed in the sight of the sons of Israel, and of the kings of Israel. For they had acted similarly.
9 Nanoe’ o ana’ Israeleo am’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ iareo añ’etak’ ao o tsy havokarañeo, nandranjy toets’ abo an-drova’ iareo iaby, boak’ am-pitalakesañ’ abo pak’ an-drova mifahetse.
And the sons of Israel offended the Lord, their God, with deeds that were not upright. And they built for themselves high places in all their cities, from the tower of the watchmen to the fortified city.
10 Naho najado’ iareo amy ze atao haboañe naho ambane’ ze hatae mandrevake iaby o Aserào naho o hazomangao;
And they made for themselves statues and sacred groves, on every high hill and under every leafy tree.
11 le nañembok’ ao manahake o kilakila’ ondaty sinoi’ Iehovà aolo’ iareoo, vaho nandranjy raha tsereheñe hampiviñetse Iehovà;
And they were burning incense there, upon altars, in the manner of the nations that the Lord had removed from their face. And they did wicked deeds, provoking the Lord.
12 ie nitoroñe o hazomanga nafè’ Iehovà am’ iereoo ty hoe: Ko manao zao.
And they worshipped impurities, concerning which the Lord instructed them that they should not do this word.
13 Mbore nanjehazehà’ Iehovà t’Israele naho Iehodà, añamo mpitokio naho o mpioniñe iabio, ami’ty hoe: Iambohò o sata rati’ areoo, naho ambeno o fepèkoo naho o fañèko amy Hake liniliko an-droae’ areo vaho nampihitrifeko ama’ areo am-pità’ o mpitoky mpitorokooy.
And the Lord testified to them, in Israel and in Judah, through the hand of all the prophets and seers, saying: “Return from your wicked ways, and keep my precepts and ceremonies, in accord with the entire law, which I instructed to your fathers, and just as I sent to you by the hand of my servants, the prophets.”
14 Fe tsy hinao’ iereo, te mone nampijiringàm-pititia, manahake o fititian-droae’ iareoo, ie mboe lia’e tsy niato amy Iehovà Andrianañahare’ iareo.
But they did not listen. Instead, they hardened their necks to be like the neck of their fathers, who were not willing to obey the Lord, their God.
15 Natorifi’ iereo o fañè’eo naho i nifañinà’e aman-droae’ iareoy naho o taroñe nizehazehà’e am’ iereoo; nañorike hakoahañe iereo naho ninjare kòake, le nañorike o kilakila’ ndaty nañohoke iareoo; o nafanto’ Iehovà am’ iereoo te tsy itsikombeañe.
And they cast aside his ordinances, and the covenant that he formed with their fathers, and the testimonies which he testified to them. And they pursued vanities and acted vainly. And they followed the nations that were all around them, concerning the things which the Lord had commanded them not to do, and which they did.
16 Nado’ iareo ze hene lili’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ iareo, naho nampitranahe’ iareo Aserà, naho bania roe, naho nampitroatse hazomanga naho nitalaho amy valobohòn-dindiñey, vaho nitoroñe i Baale.
And they abandoned all the precepts of the Lord, their God. And they made for themselves two molten calves and sacred groves. And they adored the entire celestial army. And they served Baal.
17 Nampirangae’ iereo añ’ afo o ana-dahy naho anak’ ampela’ iareoo, naho nanikily vaho namoreke, le nandeta-batañe hanao haloloañe am-pivazohoa’ Iehovà hiviñera’e.
And they consecrated their sons and their daughters through fire. And they devoted themselves to divinations and soothsaying. And they delivered themselves into the doing of evil before the Lord, so that they provoked him.
18 Aa le niviñera’ Iehovà t’Israele vaho nafaha’e am-pivazohoa’e; leo raike tsy napo’e naho tsy i fifokoa’ Iehodày avao.
And the Lord became vehemently angry with Israel, and he took them away from his sight. And there remained no one, except the tribe of Judah alone.
19 Toe tsy nambena’ Iehoda ka o lili’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ iareoo te mone nañavelo amo fañè’ nitoloña’ Israeleo.
But even Judah did not keep the commandments of the Lord, their God. Instead, they walked in the errors of Israel, which they had wrought.
20 Fonga naforintse’ Iehovà ty tarira’ Israele, le nampisotrie’e naho natolo’e am-pitam-pamaoke vaho nahifi’e boak’ am-pivazohoa’e.
And the Lord cast aside all of the offspring of Israel. And he afflicted them, and he delivered them into the hand of despoilers, until he drove them away from his face,
21 Rinia’e boak’ añ’ anjomba’ i Davide ao iereo; le nanoe’ iereo mpanjaka t’Iarovame ana’ i Nebate, le nasinta’ Iarovame tsy hañorike Iehovà t’Israele, ie nampanaña’e hakeo jabajaba.
even from that time when Israel was torn away from the house of David, and they appointed for themselves Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, as king. For Jeroboam separated Israel from the Lord, and he caused them to sin a great sin.
22 Fonga nañavelo amo tahi’ Iarovameo; tsy nisitaha’ iareo;
And the sons of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam, which he had done. And they did not withdraw from these,
23 ampara’ te nasinta’ Iehovà am-pivazohoa’e t’Israele, amy tsinara’e am-pità’ ze hene mpitoky mpitoro’ey. Aa le nasese an-drohy boak’ an-tane’e ao t’Israele, mb’e Asore añe am-para’ te henane.
even when the Lord carried away Israel from his face, just as he had said by the hand of all his servants, the prophets. And Israel was carried away from their land into Assyria, even to this day.
24 Ninday ondaty boak’e Bavele naho Kote, naho Avà, naho Kamate, naho Sefarvaine añe ty mpanjaka’ i Asore, vaho navotra’e amo rova’ i Someroneo handimbe Israele; le nifanaña’ iareo t’i Somerone vaho nimoneñe amo rova’eo.
Then the king of the Assyrians brought some from Babylon, and from Cuthah, and from Avva, and from Hamath, and from Sepharvaim. And he located them in the cities of Samaria, in place of the sons of Israel. And they possessed Samaria, and they lived in its cities.
25 Ie namototse nimoneñe ao, naho mboe tsy nañeveñe am’ Iehovà, le nañiraha’ Iehovà liona nanjevoñe ty ila’e.
And when they had begun to live there, they did not fear the Lord. And the Lord sent lions among them, which were killing them.
26 Aa le nanao ty hoe amy mpanjaka’ i Asorey iereo: Tsy fohi’ ze kilakila ‘ndaty navì’o naho navotra’o amo rova’ i Someroneo ty lilin’ Andrianañahare’ i taney; toly ndra nañiraha’e liona, le inao, ie tsy mahafohiñe o lilin’ Añahare’ i taneio ty namonoa’ o lionao.
And this was reported to the king of the Assyrians, and it was said: “The peoples that you transferred and caused to live in the cities of Samaria, they are ignorant of the ordinances of the God of the land. And so the Lord has sent lions among them. And behold, they have killed them, because they were ignorant of the rituals of the God of the land.”
27 Le hoe ty nandilia’ i mpanjaka’ i Asorey: Andeso mpisoroñe raike hirik’ amo nasese’ areo boak’aoo; le ampom-bao mb’eo himoneñe ao hañòke iareo ty lilin’ Andrianañahare’ i taney.
Then the king of the Assyrians commanded, saying: “Lead to that place one of the priests, whom you brought as a captive from there. And let him go and live with them. And let him teach them the ordinances of the God of the land.”
28 Aa le nimb’ eo ty raik’ amo mpisoroñe nendeseñe boake Someroneo le nimoneñe e Betele ao, vaho nanare’e ty hañeveñe am’ Iehovà.
And so, when one of the priests, who had been led away captive from Samaria, had arrived, he lived in Bethel. And he taught them how they should worship the Lord.
29 Fe fonga namboatse ty ‘ndrahare’e i fifeheañe rey, le napo’e amo toets’ abo rinanji’ o nte-Someroneoo, songa fifeheañe an-drova nimoneña’e ao.
And each of the nations made gods of their own, and they placed them in the shrines of the high places, which the Samaritans had made: nation after nation, in their cities in which they were living.
30 Namboare’ o nte-Baveleo ty Sokote-benote, naho namboare’ o nte-Koseo t’i Nergale, naho namboare’ o nte-Kamateo ty Asimae;
So the men of Babylon made Soccoth-benoth; and the men of Cuth made Nergal; and the men of Hamath made Ashima;
31 naho namboare’ o nte-Avìo ty Nibkaze naho i Tartake vaho sinodo’ o nte-Sefarvaineo amy Adrameleke naho i Anameleke, ‘ndrahare’ o nte-Sefarvaimeo, añ’afo ao o ana’ iareoo.
and the Avvites made Nibhaz and Tartak. Then those who were from Sepharvaim burned up their children with fire, for the gods of Sepharvaim: Adram-melech and Anam-melech.
32 Mbore nañeveñe amy Iehovà, mbore noriza’ iareo boak’ am’ iareo ao ty mpisoron-toets’ abo hitoloñe amo kibohon-toets’ aboo ho a iareo.
But nevertheless, they worshipped the Lord. Then they made for themselves, from the least of the people, priests of the high places. And they placed them in the shrines of the high places.
33 Nañondrañe am’ Iehovà iereo mbore nitoroñe o ‘ndrahare’ iareoo, ami’ty sata’ o kilakila’ndaty nañakarañe iareo boak’ am-pandrohizañe añeo.
And though they worshipped the Lord, they also served their own gods, according to the custom of the nations from which they had been transferred into Samaria.
34 Mbe mañorike ty sata’ iareo taolo pak’ androany, tsy añeveña’ iareo t’Iehovà, tsy ambena’ iareo o fañè’eo naho o fepè’eo naho i Tsara’ey vaho o fepètse linili’ Iehovà o ana’ Iakobe nikanjie’e ty hoe Israeleoo;
Even to the present day, they follow the ancient customs; they do not fear the Lord, and they do not keep his ceremonies, and judgments, and law, and commandment, which the Lord had instructed to the sons of Jacob, whom he named Israel.
35 ie nanoa’ Iehovà fañina, vaho nafanto’e am’iereo ty hoe; Ko hembañe amo ‘ndrahare ila’eo, ko ibokobokoañe ndra itoroñañe, ndra isoroñañe;
And he had struck a covenant with them, and he had commanded them, saying: “You shall not fear foreign gods, and you shall not adore them, and you shall not worship them, and you shall not sacrifice to them.
36 fa Iehovà nañakatse anahareo an-tane Mitsraime an-kaozaran-dra’elahy naho am-pitàñe natorakitsi’e, Ie ty añeveña’ areo, le Ie ty italahoa’ areo vaho Ie ty hisoroña’ areo;
But the Lord, your God, who led you away from the land of Egypt, with great strength and with an outstretched arm, him shall you fear, and him shall you adore, and to him shall you sacrifice.
37 le o fañèo naho o fepètseo naho i Hake vaho o lily sinoki’e ama’ areoo ro hambena’ areo hanoeñe nainai’e; fa tsy añeveñañe o ‘ndrahare ila’eo;
Also, the ceremonies, and judgments, and law, and commandment, which he wrote for you, you shall keep so that you do them for all days. And you shall not fear strange gods.
38 le ko haliño i fañina nanoeko ama’ areoy; vaho ko hembañe amo ‘ndrahare ila’eo;
And the covenant, which he struck with you, you shall not forget; neither shall you worship strange gods.
39 Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo avao ty añeveña’ areo; le Ie ty hamotsotse anahareo am-pità’ o fonga rafelahio.
But you shall fear the Lord, your God. And he will rescue you from the hand of all your enemies.”
40 F’ie tsy nañaoñe, te mone nanao ty nahazatse.
Yet truly, they did not listen to this. Instead, they acted in accord with their earlier custom.
41 Aa le nañeveñe am’ Iehovà o fifeheañeo mbore nitoroñe o hazomanga’ iareoo; orihe’ o ana’eo naho o anan’ ana’eo ty satan-droae’ iareo pak’androany.
And such were these nations: to some extent fearing the Lord, yet nevertheless also serving their idols. As for their sons and grandsons, just as their fathers acted, so also did they act, even to the present day.
