2 Mootota 17
1 Bara Aahaaz mooticha Yihuudaa keessa waggaa kudha lammaffaatti Hoosheeʼaa ilmi Eelaa Samaariyaa keessatti mootii Israaʼel taʼee waggaa sagal bulche.
In the twelfth year of Achaz king of Juda, Osee the son of Ela reigned in Samaria over Israel nine years.
2 Innis fuula Waaqayyoo duratti waan hamaa hojjete; garuu akka mootota Israaʼel kanneen isaan dura turan sanaa miti.
And he did evil before the Lord: but not as the kings of Israel that had been before him.
3 Shalmaneseer mootichi Asoor Hoosheeʼaa loluuf ol baʼe; Hooseʼaas garboomeefii gibira baaseef.
Against him came up Salmanasar king of the Assyrians, and Osee became his servant, and paid him tribute.
4 Mootiin Asoor garuu akka Hoosheeʼaa gantuu taʼe hubate; Hooseʼaa Siigoor mooticha Gibxitti jaarsa araaraa ergatee ergasii akka duraan wagguma waggaan baasaa ture sana mootii Asooriif gibira baasuu dhiise. Kanaafuu Silminaasoor isa qabee mana hidhaa keessa buuse.
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 Ergasiis mootichi Asoor guutummaa biyyattii weerare; Samaariyaattis duulee waggaa sadii marsee ishee qabate.
And he went through all the land: and going up to Samaria, he besieged it three years.
6 Bara mootummaa Hoosheeʼaa keessa waggaa saglaffaatti mootiin Asoor Samaariyaa qabatee Israaʼeloota boojiʼee Asooritti geesse. Innis Halaa keessa, Goozaan keessa, cina Laga Haaboorii fi magaalaawwan Midiyaan keessa isaan qubachiise.
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 Wanni kun hundinuu sababii Israaʼeloonni Waaqayyo Waaqa isaanii isa Gibxii humna Faraʼoon mooticha Gibxi jalaa isaan baase sanatti cubbuu hojjetaniif taʼe; isaan waaqota biraa waaqeffatanii
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 waan saboonni Waaqayyo isaan duraa ariʼee baase sun hojjetan duukaa buʼanii barteewwan hamaa mootonni Israaʼel fidanii isaan barsiisan illee fudhatan.
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 Israaʼeloonni dhoksaadhaan waan qajeelaa hin taʼin Waaqayyo Waaqa isaaniitti hojjetan. Isaan magaalaawwan isaanii hunda keessatti gamoo eegumsaatii jalqabanii hamma magaalaawwan dallaa jabaa qabaniitti iddoowwan sagadaa kanneen gaarran irraa ijaarratan.
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 Gaarran ol dhedheeroo hunda gubbaattii fi muka lalisaa hunda jalatti fakkiiwwanii fi siidaa Aasheeraa dhaabbatan.
And they made them statues and groves on every high hill, and under every shady tree:
11 Isaan akkuma saboonni Waaqayyo fuula isaanii duraa ariʼee baase godhan sana iddoowwan sagadaa kanneen gaarran irraa hunda irratti ixaana aarsan. Waan hamaa aariidhaaf Waaqayyoon kakaasu illee ni hojjetan.
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 Waaqayyos, “Isin waan kana hin hojjetinaa” jedhu illee isaan waaqota tolfamoo waaqeffatan.
And they worshipped abominations, concerning which the Lord had commanded them that they should not do this thing.
13 Waaqayyo akkana jedhee karaa raajotaatii fi ilaaltota isaa hundaatiin Israaʼelii fi Yihuudaa akeekkachiise; “Karaa keessan hamaa kana irraa deebiʼaa. Akkuma ajajawwan ani abbootii keessan ajaje hundaattii fi akkuma seera ani karaa garboota koo raajotaatiin isiniif erge sanaatti ajajaa fi seera koo eegaa.”
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 Isaan immoo dhaggeeffachuu didanii akkuma abbootii isaanii kanneen Waaqayyo Waaqa isaanii amanuu didan sanaa mataa jabaatan.
And they hearkened not, but hardened their necks like to the neck of their fathers, who would not obey the Lord their God.
15 Isaan seeraa fi kakuu inni abbootii isaanii wajjin gale akkasumas akeekkachiisa inni isaaniif kenne illee fudhachuu didan. Isaan waaqota tolfamoo faayidaa hin qabne duukaa buʼanii isaanis faayidaa dhaban. Isaan utuma Waaqayyo, “Waan jarri hojjetan hin hojjetinaa” jedhee isaan ajajuu saboota ollaa isaanii duukaa buʼanii waan Waaqayyo hojjechuu isaan dhowwe ni hojjetan.
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 Isaan ajaja Waaqayyo Waaqa isaanii hunda dhiisanii waaqota tolfamoo baqfamanii bifa jabbiitiin hojjetaman lamaa fi siidaa Aasheeraa tolfatan. Raayyaawwan samii hundaaf sagadanii Baʼaalin illee waaqeffatan.
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 Ilmaan isaaniitii fi intallan isaanii aarsaa godhanii ibiddaan guban. Warra waa himu gorsa gaafatan; falfalas hojjetanii fuula Waaqayyoo duratti waan hamaa hojjechuutti dabarsanii of kennanii dheekkamsaaf isa kakaasan.
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 Kanaafuu Waaqayyo akka malee Israaʼelitti dheekkamee fuula isaa duraa isaan buqqise. Gosa Yihuudaa qofatu hafe;
And the Lord was very angry with Israel, and removed them from his sight, and there remained only the tribe of Juda.
19 Yihuudaan iyyuu ajaja Waaqayyo Waaqa isaanii hin eegne. Isaanis bartee Israaʼeloonni itti fidan duukaa buʼan;
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 kanaafuu Waaqayyo saba Israaʼel hunda ni gate; inni isaan miidhee hamma fuula isaa duraa isaan dhabamsiisutti dabarsee harka saamtotaatti isaan kenne.
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 Gaafa inni mana Daawit irraa Israaʼel baqaqsetti isaan Yerobiʼaam ilma Nebaat sana mootii godhatan. Yerobiʼaamis akka Israaʼeloonni Waaqayyo irraa garagalanii cubbuu guddaa hojjetan godhe.
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 Israaʼeloonni cubbuu Yerobiʼaam hunda keessa jiraatan malee
And the children of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam, which he had done: and they departed not from them,
23 hamma Waaqayyo akkuma karaa garboota isaa raajotaatiin akeekkachiise sanatti fuula isaa duraa isaan buqqisutti irraa hin deebine. Kanaafuu sabni Israaʼel biyya isaatii boojuudhaan fudhatamee Asooritti geeffame; hamma harʼaattis achuma jiraata.
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 Mootiin Asoor biyya Baabilonii, Kuutaadhaa, Awaadhaa, biyya Hamaatii fi Seefarwaayimii namoota fidee iddoo Israaʼelootaa buusuuf jedhee magaalaawwan Samaariyaa keessa qubachiise. Isaanis Samaariyaa fudhatanii magaalaawwan ishee keessa ni jiraatan.
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 Isaan yeroo achi jiraachuu jalqabanitti Waaqayyoon hin waaqeffanne; kanaafuu inni gidduu isaaniitti leencota erge; leenconnis isaan keessaa namoota muraasa galaafatan.
And when they began to dwell there, they feared not the Lord: and the Lord sent lions among them, which killed them.
26 Mooticha Asoorittis akkana jedhanii himan; “Namoonni ati boojitee magaalaawwan Samaariyaa keessa qubachiifte sun waan Waaqni biyya sanaa fedhu hin beekan. Inni gidduu isaaniitti leencota erge; leenconnis sababii namoonni waan Waaqni sun fedhu hin beekiniif isaan fixan.”
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 Kana irratti mootiin Asoor, “Luboota boojitanii Samaariyaadhaa fiddan keessaa tokko akka inni deebiʼee achi jiraatee waan Waaqni biyya sanaa fedhu namoota barsiisuuf achi deebisaa” jedhee ajaja kenne.
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 Kanaafuu luboota Samaariyaadhaa boojiʼaman keessaa tokko Beetʼeel keessa jiraatee akka isaan itti Waaqayyoon waaqeffatan barsiisuu dhufe.
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 Taʼus tokkoon tokkoon gosaa magaalaa keessa jiraatutti waaqota ofii isaa tolfatee iddoowwan sagadaa kanneen warri Samaariyaa gaarran irratti hojjetanii turan sana irra dhaabe.
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 Warri Baabilonii dhufan Waaqa tolfamaa Sukooti Banooti, warri Kuutaadhaa dhufan Waaqa tolfamaa Nergaal, warri Hamaatii dhufan immoo Waaqa tolfamaa Ashiimaa jedhamu ni tolfatan.
For the men of Babylon made Sochothbenoth: and the Cuthites made Nergel: and the men of Emath made Asima.
31 Awwiimonni waaqota tolfamoo Nibhaazii fi Tartaaq jedhaman tolfatan; Seefarwaayimoonni immoo waaqota tolfamoo Seefarwaayim kanneen Adramelekii fi Anaamelek jedhamaniif ijoollee isaanii aarsaa godhanii ibiddaan guban.
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 Isaan Waaqayyoon waaqeffatan; garuu akka isaan iddoowwan sagadaa kanneen gaarran irraatti luboota taʼanii tajaajilaniif ofuma gidduudhaa namoota ni filatan.
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 Isaan Waaqayyoon waaqeffatan; garuu akkuma bartee saboota keessaa fidaman sanaatti waaqota ofii isaanii tajaajilan.
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 Isaan hamma harʼaatti illee ittuma cichanii bartee isaanii kan qaraa sana keessa jiraatu. Isaan Waaqayyoon hin waaqeffatan yookaan labsii fi qajeelfama, seeraa fi ajaja Waaqayyo sanyiiwwan Yaaqoob kan Israaʼel jedhee moggaase sanaaf kennes duukaa hin buʼan.
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 Waaqayyo gaafa Israaʼeloota wajjin kakuu galetti akkana jedhee isaan ajaje: “Isin Waaqa biraa tokko illee hin waaqeffatinaa yookaan hin sagadinaafii; isaan hin tajaajilinaa yookaan aarsaa isaaniif hin dhiʼeessinaa.
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 Garuu Waaqayyo isin waaqeffachuu qabdan, isa humna jabaa fi irree diriirfameen Gibxii baasee isin fide sanaa dha. Isin isaaf sagaddanii aarsaa dhiʼeessuufii qabdu.
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 Isin yeroo hunda labsii fi qajeelfama, seeraa fi ajaja inni isinii barreesse sana of eeggannaadhaan eeguu qabdu. Waaqota biraa hin waaqeffatinaa.
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 Kakuu ani isin wajjin gale sana hin irraanfatinaa; waaqota biraa hin waaqeffatinaa.
And the covenant that he made with you, you shall not forget: neither shall ye worship strange gods,
39 Qooda kanaa Waaqayyo Waaqa keessan waaqeffadhaa; kan harka diina keessan hundaa keessaa isin baasu isumaa.”
But fear the Lord your God, and he shall deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies.
40 Taʼus isaan ittuma cichanii waanuma qaraa sana hojjetan malee isa hin dhageenye.
But they did not hearken, but did according to their old custom.
41 Yeroo namoonni kunneen Waaqayyoon waaqeffachaa jiranitti illee isaan waaqota tolfamoo isaanii tajaajilaa turan. Hamma guyyaa harʼaatti illee ijoolleen isaaniitii fi ijoolleen ijoollee isaanii ittuma fufanii akkuma abbootiin isaanii hojjetan sana hojjechaa jiru.
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.
