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 began Osee the son of Ela to reign 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 in the eyes of the Lord, only not as the kings of Israel that were before him.
3 Shalmaneseer mootichi Asoor Hoosheeʼaa loluuf ol baʼe; Hooseʼaas garboomeefii gibira baaseef.
Against him came up Salamanassar king of the Assyrians; and Osee became his servant, and rendered 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 the king of the Assyrians found iniquity in Osee, in that he sent messengers to Segor king of Egypt, and brought not a tribute to the king of the Assyrians in that year: and the king of the Assyrians besieged him, and bound him in the prison-house.
5 Ergasiis mootichi Asoor guutummaa biyyattii weerare; Samaariyaattis duulee waggaa sadii marsee ishee qabate.
And the king of the Assyrians went up against all the land, and went up to Samaria, and besieged it [for] 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.
In the ninth year of Osee the king of the Assyrians took Samaria, and carried Israel away to the Assyrians, and settled them in Alae, and in Abor, [near] the rivers of Gozan, and [in] the mountains 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 it came to pass that the children of Israel [had] transgressed against the Lord their God, who had brought them up out of the land of Egypt, from under the hand of Pharao king of Egypt, and they feared other gods,
8 waan saboonni Waaqayyo isaan duraa ariʼee baase sun hojjetan duukaa buʼanii barteewwan hamaa mootonni Israaʼel fidanii isaan barsiisan illee fudhatan.
and walked in the statutes of the nations which the Lord cast out before the face of the children of Israel, and of the kings of Israel as many as did [such things],
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 [in those] of the children of Israel as many as secretly practised customs, not as [they should have done], against the Lord their God:
10 Gaarran ol dhedheeroo hunda gubbaattii fi muka lalisaa hunda jalatti fakkiiwwanii fi siidaa Aasheeraa dhaabbatan.
and they built for themselves high places in all their cities, from the tower of the watchmen to the fortified city. And they made for themselves pillars 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 burned incense there on all high places, as the nations [did] whom the Lord removed from before them, and dealt with familiar spirits, and they carved [images] to provoke the Lord to anger.
12 Waaqayyos, “Isin waan kana hin hojjetinaa” jedhu illee isaan waaqota tolfamoo waaqeffatan.
And they served the idols, of which the Lord said to them, You shall not do this thing [against] the Lord.
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 against Israel and against Juda, even by the hand of all his prophets, [and] of every seer, saying, Turn you from your evil ways, and keep my commandments and my ordinances, and all the law which I commanded your fathers, [and] all that I sent to them by the hand of my servants the prophets.
14 Isaan immoo dhaggeeffachuu didanii akkuma abbootii isaanii kanneen Waaqayyo Waaqa isaanii amanuu didan sanaa mataa jabaatan.
But they listened not, and made their neck harder than the neck of their fathers.
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 kept not any of his testimonies which he charged them; and they walked after vanities, and became vain, and after the nations round about them, concerning which the Lord had charged them not to do accordingly.
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.
They forsook the commandments of the Lord their God, and made themselves graven images, [even] two heifers, and they made groves, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and 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 they caused their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire, and used divinations and auspices, and sold themselves to work wickedness in the sight of 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 out of his sight; and there was only left the tribe of Juda quite alone.
19 Yihuudaan iyyuu ajaja Waaqayyo Waaqa isaanii hin eegne. Isaanis bartee Israaʼeloonni itti fidan duukaa buʼan;
Nay even Juda kept not the commandments of the Lord their God, but they walked according to the customs of Israel which they practised, and rejected the Lord.
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 was angry with the whole seed of Israel, and troubled them, and gave them into the hand of them that spoiled them, until he cast them out of his presence.
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.
Forasmuch as Israel revolted from the house of David, and they made Jeroboam the son of Nabat king: and Jeroboam drew off Israel from following the Lord, and led them to sin a great sin.
22 Israaʼeloonni cubbuu Yerobiʼaam hunda keessa jiraatan malee
And the children of Israel walked in all the sin of Jeroboam which he committed; they departed not from it,
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.
until the Lord removed Israel from his presence, as the Lord spoke by all his servants the prophets; and Israel was removed from off their land to the Assyrians until 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 Assyria brought from Babylon the men of Chutha, [and men] from Aia, and from Aemath, and Seppharvaim, and they were settled in the cities of Samaria in the place of the children of Israel: and they inherited Samaria, and were settled in its cities.
25 Isaan yeroo achi jiraachuu jalqabanitti Waaqayyoon hin waaqeffanne; kanaafuu inni gidduu isaaniitti leencota erge; leenconnis isaan keessaa namoota muraasa galaafatan.
And it was so at the beginning of their establishment there [that] they feared not the Lord, and the Lord sent lions among them, and they killed some of 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 they spoke to the king of the Assyrians, saying, The nations whom you have removed and substituted in the cities of Samaria [for the Israelites], know not the manner of the God of the land: and he has sent the lions against them, and, behold, they are slaying 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, Bring some [Israelites] thence, and let them go and dwell there, and they shall teach them the manner of the God of the land.
28 Kanaafuu luboota Samaariyaadhaa boojiʼaman keessaa tokko Beetʼeel keessa jiraatee akka isaan itti Waaqayyoon waaqeffatan barsiisuu dhufe.
And they brought one of the priests whom they had removed from Samaria, and he settled in Baethel, and taught them how they should fear 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.
But the nations made each their own gods, and put them in the house of the high places which the Samaritans [had] made, each nation in the cities in which they lived.
30 Warri Baabilonii dhufan Waaqa tolfamaa Sukooti Banooti, warri Kuutaadhaa dhufan Waaqa tolfamaa Nergaal, warri Hamaatii dhufan immoo Waaqa tolfamaa Ashiimaa jedhamu ni tolfatan.
And the men of Babylon made Socchoth Benith, and the men of Chuth made Ergel, and the men of Haemath made Asimath.
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 Evites made Eblazer and Tharthac, and the [inhabitant] of Seppharvaim [did evil] when they burnt their sons in the fire to Adramelech and Anemelech, the gods of Seppharvaim.
32 Isaan Waaqayyoon waaqeffatan; garuu akka isaan iddoowwan sagadaa kanneen gaarran irraatti luboota taʼanii tajaajilaniif ofuma gidduudhaa namoota ni filatan.
And they feared the Lord, yet they established their abominations in the houses of the high places which they made in Samaria, each nation in the city in which they lived: and they feared the Lord, and they made for themselves priests of the high places, and sacrificed for themselves in the house of the high places.
33 Isaan Waaqayyoon waaqeffatan; garuu akkuma bartee saboota keessaa fidaman sanaatti waaqota ofii isaanii tajaajilan.
And they feared the Lord, and served their gods according to the manner of the nations, whence [their lords] brought them.
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.
Until this day they did according to their manner: they fear [the Lord], and they do according to their customs, and according to their manner, and according to the law, and according to the commandment which the Lord commanded the sons of Jacob, whose name he made 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.
And the Lord made a covenant with them, and charged them, saying, You shall not fear other gods, neither shall you worship them, nor serve 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 only to the Lord, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt with great strength and with a high arm: him shall you fear, and him shall you worship; 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.
You shall observe continually the ordinances, and the judgments, and the law, and the commandments which he wrote for you to do; and you shall not fear other gods.
38 Kakuu ani isin wajjin gale sana hin irraanfatinaa; waaqota biraa hin waaqeffatinaa.
Neither shall you forget the covenant which he made with you: and you shall not fear other gods.
39 Qooda kanaa Waaqayyo Waaqa keessan waaqeffadhaa; kan harka diina keessan hundaa keessaa isin baasu isumaa.”
But you shall fear the Lord your God, and he shall deliver you from all your enemies.
40 Taʼus isaan ittuma cichanii waanuma qaraa sana hojjetan malee isa hin dhageenye.
Neither shall you comply with their practice, which they follow.
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, and served their graven images: yes, their sons and their son's sons do until this day even as their fathers did.
