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 Ahaz king of Judah, the reign of Hoshea son of Elah began. He ruled in Samaria over Israel for nine years.
2 I èinjaše što je zlo pred Gospodom, ali ne kao carevi Izrailjevi koji biše prije njega.
He did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh, yet not as the kings of Israel who were before 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 servant and brought 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.
Then the king of Assyria realized that Hoshea had been plotting against him, for Hoshea had sent messengers to So king of Egypt; also, he offered no tribute to the king of Assyria, as he had done year by year. So the king of Assyria shut him up and bound him in prison.
5 I car Asirski proðe svu zemlju i doðe na Samariju, i bi je tri godine.
Then the king of Assyria attacked throughout all the land, and attacked 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 took Samaria and carried Israel away to Assyria. He put them in Halah, at the Habor River of Gozan, 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,
This captivity happened because the people of Israel had sinned against Yahweh their God, who had brought them up from the land of Egypt, from under the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt. The people had been worshiping other gods
8 I hodiše po uredbama naroda koje odagna Gospod ispred sinova Izrailjevijeh, i kako èiniše carevi Izrailjevi;
and walking in the practices of the nations whom Yahweh had driven out before the people of Israel, and in the practices of the kings of Israel that they had done.
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 people of Israel did secretly—against Yahweh their God—things that were not right. They built for themselves high places in all their cities, from the watchtower to the fortress.
10 I podigoše likove i lugove na svakom visokom humu i pod svakim zelenijem drvetom.
They also set up stone 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.
There they burned incense in all the high places, as the nations had done, those whom Yahweh had carried away before them. The Israelites performed wicked things to provoke Yahweh to anger;
12 I služahu gadnijem bogovima, za koje im bješe Gospod rekao: ne èinite to.
they worshiped idols, about which Yahweh had said to them, “You will 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 Yahweh had testified to Israel and to Judah by every prophet and every seer, saying, “Turn from your evil ways and keep my commandments and my statutes, and be careful to keep all the law I commanded your fathers, and that I sent to you by 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; instead they were very stubborn like their fathers who did not trust in Yahweh 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 that he had made with their ancestors, and the covenant decrees that he had given to them. They followed useless practices and they themselves became useless. They followed the pagan nations who were around them, those that Yahweh 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 ignored all the commandments of Yahweh their God. They made cast metal figures of two calves to worship. They made an Asherah pole, and they worshiped all the stars of the heavens and 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 made their sons and daughters pass through the fire, they used divination and enchantments, they sold themselves to do that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, and they provoked him to anger.
18 Zato se Gospod razgnjevi vrlo na Izrailja, i odbaci ih od sebe, te ne osta nego samo pleme Judino.
Therefore Yahweh was very angry with Israel and removed them out of his sight. There was no one left but the tribe of Judah alone.
19 Pa ni Juda ne držaše zapovijesti Gospoda Boga svojega, nego hoðaše po uredbama koje naèiniše Izrailjci.
Even Judah did not keep the commandments of Yahweh their God, and they followed the practices that Israel had done.
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 Yahweh rejected all the descendants of Israel; he afflicted them and gave them into the hand of those who would take the possession as spoil, until he had cast them out of his sight.
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.
He tore Israel from the royal line of David, and they made Jeroboam son of Nebat king. Jeroboam drove Israel away from following Yahweh and made them commit a great sin.
22 I hodiše sinovi Izrailjevi u svijem grijesima Jerovoamovijem koje je on èinio, i ne otstupiše od njih;
The people of Israel followed all the sins of Jeroboam and they did not depart 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.
so Yahweh removed Israel from his sight, as he had said through all his servants the prophets that he would. So Israel was carried away out of their own land to Assyria, and it is this way to this present 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.
The king of Assyria brought people from Babylon and from Kuthah, and from Avva, and from Hamath and Sepharvaim, and placed them in the cities of Samaria in place of the people of Israel. They took over Samaria and lived in its cities.
25 A kad poèeše živjeti ondje, ne bojahu se Gospoda, a Gospod posla na njih lavove, koji ih davljahu.
It happened at the beginning of their residence there that they did not honor Yahweh. So Yahweh 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 nations that you have carried away and placed in the cities of Samaria do not know the practices required by the god of the land. So he has sent lions among them, and, see, the lions are killing people there because they do not know the practices required by the god of the land.”
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, saying, “Take one of the priests there whom you brought from there, and let him go and live there, and let him teach them the practices required by 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.
So one of the priests whom they had carried away from Samaria came and lived in Bethel; he taught them how they should honor Yahweh.
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.
Every ethnic group made gods of their own, and put them in the high places that the Samaritans had made—every ethnic group in the cities where they lived.
30 Jer Vavilonjani naèiniše Sokot-Venotu, a Huæani naèiniše Nergala, a Emaæani naèiniše Asima;
The people of Babylon made Succoth Benoth; the people of Kuthah made Nergal; the people 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. The Sepharvites burned their children in the fire to Adrammelek and Anammelek, the gods of the Sepharvites.
32 Ali se bojahu Gospoda, i postaviše izmeðu sebe sveštenike visinama, koji im služahu u domovima visina;
They also honored Yahweh, and appointed from among themselves priests of the high places, who sacrificed for them in the temples at the high places.
33 Bojahu se Gospoda, ali i svojim bogovima služahu po obièaju onijeh naroda iz kojih ih preseliše.
They honored Yahweh and also worshiped their own gods, in the customs of the nations from among whom they had been taken 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 persist in their old customs. They neither honor Yahweh, nor do they follow the statutes, decrees, the law, or the commandments that Yahweh gave to the people 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;
and with whom Yahweh had made a covenant and commanded them, “You will not fear other gods, nor bow yourselves to them, nor worship them, nor 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;
But Yahweh, who brought you up from the land of Egypt with great power and a raised arm, is the one you must honor; it is to him that you will prostrate yourselves, and it is to him that you will sacrifice.
37 I uredbe i pravila i zakon i zapovijesti što vam je napisao držite izvršujuæi ih vazda, i ne bojte se drugih bogova.
The statutes and the decrees, the law and the commandments that he wrote for you, you will keep them forever. So you must not fear other gods,
38 I ne zaboravljajte zavjeta koji je uèinio s vama, i ne bojte se drugih bogova.
and the covenant that I have made with you, you will not forget; neither will you honor other gods.
39 Nego Gospoda Boga svojega bojte se, i on æe vas izbaviti iz ruku svijeh neprijatelja vaših.
But Yahweh your God is who you will honor. He will rescue you from the might of your enemies.”
40 Ali ne poslušaše, nego radiše po starom svom obièaju.
They would not listen, because they continued to do what they had done in the past.
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 feared Yahweh and they also worshiped their carved figures, and their children did the same—as did their children's children. They continue to do what their ancestors did, up to this day.
