2 Kraljevima 17
1 Dvanaeste godine carovanja Ahazova nad Judom zacari se u Samariji nad Izrailjem Osija sin Ilin, i carova devet godina.
In the twelfth year of the reign of Ahaz over Judah, Hoshea son of Elah became king of Israel, and he reigned in Samaria nine years.
2 I èinjaše što je zlo pred Gospodom, ali ne kao carevi Izrailjevi koji biše prije njega.
And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, but not like the kings of Israel who preceded him.
3 Na njega doðe Salmanasar car Asirski, i Osija mu posta sluga, te mu plaæaše danak.
Shalmaneser king of Assyria attacked him, and Hoshea became his vassal and paid him tribute.
4 Ali car Asirski opazi da Osija hoæe da se odmetne, jer Osija posla poslanike k Soju caru Misirskom i ne posla danka godišnjega caru Asirskom; zato ga opkoli car Asirski i svezavši baci ga u tamnicu.
But the king of Assyria discovered that Hoshea had conspired to send envoys to King So of Egypt, and that he had not paid tribute to the king of Assyria as in previous years. Therefore the king of Assyria arrested Hoshea and put him in prison.
5 I car Asirski proðe svu zemlju i doðe na Samariju, i bi je tri godine.
Then the king of Assyria invaded the whole land, marched up to Samaria, and besieged it for three years.
6 Devete godine Osijine uze car Asirski Samariju i odvede Izrailja u Asiriju i naseli u Alaju i u Avoru na vodi Gozanu i u gradovima Midskim.
In the ninth year of Hoshea, the king of Assyria captured Samaria and carried away the Israelites to Assyria, where he settled them in Halah, in Gozan by the Habor River, and in the cities of the Medes.
7 A to bi što sinovi Izrailjevi griješiše Gospodu Bogu svojemu, koji ih je izveo iz zemlje Misirske ispod ruke Faraona cara Misirskoga, i bojaše se drugih bogova,
All this happened because the people of Israel had sinned against the LORD their God, who had brought them out of the land of Egypt from under the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt. They had worshiped other gods
8 I hodiše po uredbama naroda koje odagna Gospod ispred sinova Izrailjevijeh, i kako èiniše carevi Izrailjevi;
and walked in the customs of the nations that the LORD had driven out before the Israelites, as well as in the practices introduced by the kings of Israel.
9 I tajno èiniše sinovi Izrailjevi što nije pravo pred Gospodom Bogom njihovijem, i pogradiše visine po svijem gradovima svojim, od kule stražarske do gradova ozidanijeh.
The Israelites secretly did things against the LORD their God that were not right. From watchtower to fortified city, they built high places in all their cities.
10 I podigoše likove i lugove na svakom visokom humu i pod svakim zelenijem drvetom.
They set up for themselves sacred pillars and Asherah poles on every high hill and under every green tree.
11 I kaðahu onuda po svijem visinama kao narodi koje odagna Gospod ispred njih, i èinjahu zle stvari gnjeveæi Gospoda.
They burned incense on all the high places like the nations that the LORD had driven out before them. They did wicked things, provoking the LORD to anger.
12 I služahu gadnijem bogovima, za koje im bješe Gospod rekao: ne èinite to.
They served idols, although the LORD had told them, “You shall not do this thing.”
13 I Gospod opominjaše Izrailja i Judu preko svijeh proroka i svijeh vidjelaca govoreæi: vratite se sa zlijeh putova svojih i držite zapovijesti moje i uredbe moje po svemu zakonu koji sam zapovjedio ocima vašim i koji sam vam poslao po slugama svojim prorocima.
Yet through all His prophets and seers, the LORD warned Israel and Judah, saying, “Turn from your wicked ways and keep My commandments and statutes, according to the entire Law that I commanded your fathers and delivered to you through My servants the prophets.”
14 Ali ne poslušaše; nego bjehu tvrdovrati kao i oci njihovi, koji ne vjerovaše Gospodu Bogu svojemu.
But they would not listen, and they stiffened their necks like their fathers, who did not believe the LORD their God.
15 I odbaciše uredbe njegove i zavjet njegov, koji uèini s ocima njihovijem, i svjedoèanstva njegova, kojima im svjedoèaše, i hodiše za ništavilom i postaše ništavi, i za narodima koji bijahu oko njih, za koje im bješe zapovjedio Gospod da ne èine kao oni.
They rejected His statutes and the covenant He had made with their fathers, as well as the decrees He had given them. They pursued worthless idols and themselves became worthless, going after the surrounding nations that the LORD had commanded them not to imitate.
16 I ostaviše sve zapovijesti Gospoda Boga svojega, i naèiniše sebi livene likove, dva teleta, i lugove, i klanjaše se svoj vojsci nebeskoj, i služiše Valu.
They abandoned all the commandments of the LORD their God and made for themselves two cast idols of calves and an Asherah pole. They bowed down to all the host of heaven and served Baal.
17 I provodiše sinove svoje i kæeri svoje kroz oganj, i davaše se na vraèanje i gatanje, i prodaše se da èine zlo pred Gospodom gnjeveæi ga.
They sacrificed their sons and daughters in the fire and practiced divination and soothsaying. They devoted themselves to doing evil in the sight of the LORD, provoking Him to anger.
18 Zato se Gospod razgnjevi vrlo na Izrailja, i odbaci ih od sebe, te ne osta nego samo pleme Judino.
So the LORD was very angry with Israel, and He removed them from His presence. Only the tribe of Judah remained,
19 Pa ni Juda ne držaše zapovijesti Gospoda Boga svojega, nego hoðaše po uredbama koje naèiniše Izrailjci.
and even Judah did not keep the commandments of the LORD their God, but lived according to the customs Israel had introduced.
20 Zato Gospod povrže sve sjeme Izrailjevo, i muèi ih, i predade ih u ruke onima koji ih plijene, dokle ih i odbaci od sebe.
So the LORD rejected all the descendants of Israel. He afflicted them and delivered them into the hands of plunderers, until He had banished them from His presence.
21 Jer se ocijepiše Izrailjci od doma Davidova, i postaviše carem Jerovoama sina Navatova, a Jerovoam odbi Izrailjce od Gospoda i navede ih da griješe grijehom velikim.
When the LORD had torn Israel away from the house of David, they made Jeroboam son of Nebat king, and Jeroboam led Israel away from following the LORD and caused them to commit a great sin.
22 I hodiše sinovi Izrailjevi u svijem grijesima Jerovoamovijem koje je on èinio, i ne otstupiše od njih;
The Israelites persisted in all the sins that Jeroboam had committed and did not turn away from them.
23 Dokle Gospod ne odbaci Izrailja od sebe kao što je govorio preko svijeh sluga svojih proroka, i tako preseljen bi Izrailj iz zemlje svoje u Asirsku do današnjega dana.
Finally, the LORD removed Israel from His presence, as He had declared through all His servants the prophets. So Israel was exiled from their homeland into Assyria, where they are to this day.
24 Potom dovede car Asirski ljude iz Vavilona i iz Hute i iz Ave i iz Emata i iz Sefarvima, i naseli ih u gradovima Samarijskim mjesto Izrailjaca, i naslijediše Samariju, i življahu po gradovima njezinijem.
Then the king of Assyria brought people from Babylon, Cuthah, Avva, Hamath, and Sepharvaim and settled them in the towns of Samaria to replace the Israelites. They took possession of Samaria and lived in its towns.
25 A kad poèeše živjeti ondje, ne bojahu se Gospoda, a Gospod posla na njih lavove, koji ih davljahu.
Now when the settlers first lived there, they did not worship the LORD, so He sent lions among them, which killed some of them.
26 Zato rekoše caru Asirskom govoreæi: ovi narodi koje si doveo i naselio u gradovima Samarijskim ne znaju zakona Boga one zemlje; zato posla na njih lavove, koji ih eto more, jer ne znaju zakona Boga one zemlje.
So they spoke to the king of Assyria, saying, “The peoples that you have removed and placed in the cities of Samaria do not know the requirements of the God of the land. Because of this, He has sent lions among them, which are indeed killing them off.”
27 Tada zapovjedi car Asirski i reèe: odvedite onamo jednoga od sveštenika koje ste doveli odande, pa neka ide i sjedi ondje, neka ih uèi zakonu Boga one zemlje.
Then the king of Assyria commanded: “Send back one of the priests you carried off from Samaria, and have him go back to live there and teach the requirements of the God of the land.”
28 I tako jedan od sveštenika, koje bijahu odveli iz Samarije, doðe i nastani se u Vetilju, i uèaše ih kako æe se bojati Gospoda.
Thus one of the priests they had carried away came and lived in Bethel, and he began to teach them how they should worship the LORD.
29 Ali naèiniše sebi svaki narod svoje bogove, i pometaše ih u kuæe visina, koje bijahu naèinili Samarijani, svaki narod u svojim gradovima u kojima življahu.
Nevertheless, the people of each nation continued to make their own gods in the cities where they had settled, and they set them up in the shrines that the people of Samaria had made on the high places.
30 Jer Vavilonjani naèiniše Sokot-Venotu, a Huæani naèiniše Nergala, a Emaæani naèiniše Asima;
The men of Babylon made Succoth-benoth, the men of Cuth made Nergal, the men of Hamath made Ashima,
31 I Avljani naèiniše Nivaza i Tartaka, a Sefarvimci spaljivahu sinove svoje ognjem Adramelehu i Anamelehu bogovima Sefarvimskim.
the Avvites made Nibhaz and Tartak, and the Sepharvites burned their children in the fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech the gods of the Sepharvaim.
32 Ali se bojahu Gospoda, i postaviše izmeðu sebe sveštenike visinama, koji im služahu u domovima visina;
So the new residents worshiped the LORD, but they also appointed for themselves priests of all sorts to serve in the shrines of the high places.
33 Bojahu se Gospoda, ali i svojim bogovima služahu po obièaju onijeh naroda iz kojih ih preseliše.
They worshiped the LORD, but they also served their own gods according to the customs of the nations from which they had been carried away.
34 I do današnjega dana rade po starijem obièajima; ne boje se Gospoda a ne rade ni po svojim uredbama i obièajima, ni po zakonu i zapovijesti što je zapovjedio Gospod sinovima Jakova, kojemu nadje ime Izrailj;
To this day they are still practicing their former customs. None of them worship the LORD or observe the statutes, ordinances, laws, and commandments that the LORD gave the descendants of Jacob, whom He named Israel.
35 S kojima uèini Gospod zavjet i zapovjedi im i reèe: ne bojte se drugih bogova niti im se klanjajte niti im služite niti im prinosite žrtava;
For the LORD had made a covenant with the Israelites and commanded them, “Do not worship other gods or bow down to them; do not serve them or sacrifice to them.
36 Nego Gospoda, koji vas je izveo iz zemlje Misirske silom velikom i mišicom podignutom, njega se bojte i njemu se klanjajte i njemu prinosite žrtve;
Instead, worship the LORD, who brought you out of the land of Egypt with great power and an outstretched arm. You are to bow down to Him and offer sacrifices to Him.
37 I uredbe i pravila i zakon i zapovijesti što vam je napisao držite izvršujuæi ih vazda, i ne bojte se drugih bogova.
And you must always be careful to observe the statutes, ordinances, laws, and commandments He wrote for you. Do not worship other gods.
38 I ne zaboravljajte zavjeta koji je uèinio s vama, i ne bojte se drugih bogova.
Do not forget the covenant I have made with you. Do not worship other gods,
39 Nego Gospoda Boga svojega bojte se, i on æe vas izbaviti iz ruku svijeh neprijatelja vaših.
but worship the LORD your God, and He will deliver you from the hands of all your enemies.”
40 Ali ne poslušaše, nego radiše po starom svom obièaju.
But they would not listen, and they persisted in their former customs.
41 Tako ovi narodi bojahu se Gospoda i idolima svojim služahu; i sinovi njihovi i sinovi sinova njihovijeh èine do današnjega dana onako kako su èinili oci njihovi.
So these nations worshiped the LORD but also served their idols, and to this day their children and grandchildren continue to do as their fathers did.
