2 Књига о царевима 17
1 Дванаесте године царовања Ахазовог над Јудом зацари се у Самарији над Израиљем Осија, син Илин, и царова девет година.
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 И чињаше што је зло пред Господом, али не као цареви Израиљеви који бише пре њега.
He did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh, yet not as the kings of Israel who were before him.
3 На њега дође Салманасар цар асирски, и Осија му поста слуга, те му плаћаше данак.
Shalmaneser king of Assyria attacked him, and Hoshea became his servant and brought him tribute.
4 Али цар асирски опази да Осија хоће да се одметне, јер Осија посла посланике к Соју, цару мисирском и не посла данак годишњи цару асирском; зато га опколи цар асирски и свезавши баци га у тамницу.
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 А цар асирски прође сву земљу и дође на Самарију, и би је три године.
Then the king of Assyria attacked throughout all the land, and attacked Samaria and besieged it for three years.
6 Девете године Осијине узе цар асирски Самарију и одведе Израиља у Асирију и насели у Алају и у Авору на води Гозану и у градовима мидским.
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 А то би што синови Израиљеви грешише Господу Богу свом, који их је извео из земље мисирске испод руке Фараона, цара мисирског, и бојаше се других богова,
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 И ходише по уредбама народа који одагна Господ испред синова Израиљевих, и како чинише цареви Израиљеви;
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 И тајно чинише синови Израиљеви шта није право пред Господом Богом њиховим, и поградише висине по свим градовима својим, од куле стражарске до градова озиданих.
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 И подигоше ликове и лугове на сваком високом хуму и под сваким зеленим дрветом.
They also set up stone pillars and Asherah poles on every high hill and under every green tree.
11 И кађаху онуда по свим висинама као народи које одагна Господ испред њих, и чињаху зле ствари гневећи Господа.
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 И служаху гадним боговима, за које им беше Господ рекао: Не чините то.
they worshiped idols, about which Yahweh had said to them, “You will not do this thing.”
13 И Господ опомињаше Израиља и Јуду преко свих пророка и свих виделаца говорећи: Вратите се са злих путева својих и држите заповести моје и уредбе моје по свему закону који сам заповедио оцима вашим и који сам вам послао по слугама својим пророцима.
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 Али не послушаше; него беху тврдоврати као и оци њихови, који не вероваше Господу Богу свом.
But they would not listen; instead they were very stubborn like their fathers who did not trust in Yahweh their God.
15 И одбацише уредбе Његове и завет Његов, који учини с оцима њиховим, и сведочанства Његова, којима им сведочаше, и ходише за ништавилом и посташе ништави, и за народима који беху око њих, за које им беше заповедио Господ да не чине као они.
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 И оставише све заповести Господа Бога свог, и начинише себи ливене ликове, два телета, и лугове, и клањаше се свој војсци небеској, и служаше Валу.
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 И проводише синове своје и кћери своје кроз огањ, и даваше се на врачање и гатање, и продаше се да чине зло пред Господом гневећи Га.
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 Зато се Господ разгневи врло на Израиља, и одбаци их од себе, те не оста него само племе Јудино.
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 Па ни Јуда не држаше заповести Господа Бога свог, него хођаше по уредбама које начинише Израиљци.
Even Judah did not keep the commandments of Yahweh their God, and they followed the practices that Israel had done.
20 Зато Господ поврже све семе Израиљево, и мучи их, и предаде их у руке онима који их плене, докле их и одбаци од себе.
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 Јер се отцепише Израиљци од дома Давидовог, и поставише царем Јеровоама, сина Наватовог, а Јеровоам одби Израиљце од Господа и наведе их да греше грехом великим.
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 И ходише синови Израиљеви у свим гресима Јеровоамовим које је он чинио, и не одступише од њих;
The people of Israel followed all the sins of Jeroboam and they did not depart from them,
23 Докле Господ не одбаци Израиља од себе као што је говорио преко свих слуга својих пророка, и тако пресељен би Израиљ из земље своје у Асирску до данашњег дана.
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 Потом доведе цар асирски људе из Вавилона и из Хуте и из Аве и из Емата и из Сефарвима, и насели их у градовима самаријским место Израиљаца, и наследише Самарију, и живљаху по градовима њеним.
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 А кад почеше живети онде, не бојаху се Господа, а Господ посла на њих лавове, који их дављаху.
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 Зато рекоше цару асирском говорећи: Ови народи које си довео и населио у градовима самаријским не знају законе Бога оне земље; зато посла на њих лавове, који их ето море, јер не знају законе Бога оне земље.
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 Тада заповеди цар асирски и рече: Одведите онамо једног од свештеника које сте довели оданде, па нека иде и седи онде, нека их учи закону Бога оне земље.
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 И тако један од свештеника, које беху одвели из Самарије, дође и настани се у Ветиљу, и учаше их како ће се бојати Господа.
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 Али начинише себи сваки народ своје богове, и пометаше их у куће висина, које беху начинили Самарјани, сваки народ у својим градовима у којима живљаху.
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 Јер Вавилоњани начинише Сокот-Веноту, а Хућани начинише Нергала, а Емаћани начинише Асима;
The people of Babylon made Succoth Benoth; the people of Kuthah made Nergal; the people of Hamath made Ashima;
31 И Ављани начинише Ниваза и Тартака, а Сефарвимци спаљиваху синове своје огњем Адрамелеху и Анамелеху боговима сефарвимским.
the Avvites made Nibhaz and Tartak. The Sepharvites burned their children in the fire to Adrammelek and Anammelek, the gods of the Sepharvites.
32 Али се бојаху Господа, и поставише између себе свештенике висинама, који им служаху у домовима висина;
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 Бојаху се Господа, али и својим боговима служаху по обичају оних народа из којих их преселише.
They honored Yahweh and also worshiped their own gods, in the customs of the nations from among whom they had been taken away.
34 И до данашњег дана раде по старим обичајима; не боје се Господа, а не раде ни по својим уредбама и обичајима, ни по закону и заповести што је заповедио Господ синовима Јакова, коме наде име Израиљ;
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 С којима учини Господ завет и заповеди им и рече: Не бојте се других богова нити им се клањајте нити им служите нити им приносите жртава;
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 Него Господа, који вас је извео из земље мисирске силом великом и мишицом подигнутом, Њега се бојте и Њему се клањајте и Њему приносите жртве;
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 И уредбе и правила и закон и заповести што вам је написао држите извршујући их увек, и не бојте се других богова.
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 И не заборављајте завет који је учинио с вама, и не бојте се других богова.
and the covenant that I have made with you, you will not forget; neither will you honor other gods.
39 Него Господа Бога свог бојте се, и Он ће вас избавити из руку свих непријатеља ваших.
But Yahweh your God is who you will honor. He will rescue you from the might of your enemies.”
40 Али не послушаше, него радише по старом свом обичају.
They would not listen, because they continued to do what they had done in the past.
41 Тако ови народи бојаху се Господа и идолима својим служаху; и синови њихови и синови синова њихових чине до данашњег дана онако како су чинили оци њихови.
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.
