2 Kungaboken 17
1 Uti tolfte årena Ahas, Juda Konungs, vardt Hosea, Ela son, Konung öfver Israel i Samarien, i nio år;
In the twelfth year of Achaz the king of Judah became Hoshea' the son of Elah king in Samaria over Israel, [for] nine years.
2 Och gjorde det ondt var för Herranom, dock icke såsom de Israels Konungar, som för honom voro.
And he did what is evil in the eyes of the Lord, but not like the kings of Israel that were before him.
3 Emot honom drog upp Salmanasser, Konungen i Assyrien och Hosea vardt honom undergifven, så att han gaf honom skänker.
Against him came up Shalmanesser, the king of Assyria; and Hoshea' became his servant, and rendered him tribute.
4 Då Konungen i Assyrien fick veta, att Hosea hade ett förbund för händer, och hade sändt båd till So, Konungen i Egypten, och icke utgifva ville årliga skänkerna Konungenom i Assyrien; belade han honom, och kastade honom i fängelse.
And the king of Assyria discovered a conspiracy on Hoshea'; for he had sent messengers to So the king of Egypt, and had raised no tribute for the king of Assyria, as [before] year by year; and the king of Assyria made him prisoner, and shut him up in a prison-house.
5 Och Konungen i Assyrien drog in i hela landet, och till Samarien, och belade det i tre år.
And the king of Assyria came up over all the land, and went up to Samaria, and besieged it three years.
6 Och uti nionde årena Hosea vann Konungen i Assyrien Samarien, och förde Israel bort i Assyrien, och satte dem i Halah, och i Habor vid den älfven Gosan, och uti de Meders städer.
In the ninth year of Hoshea' did the king of Assyria capture Samaria, and he led Israel away as exiles into Assyria, and settled them in Chalach and in Chabor by the river of Gozan, and in the cities of Media.
7 Ty då Israels barn syndade emot Herran deras Gud, den dem utur Egypti land fört hade, utu Pharaos hand, Konungens i Egypten, och fruktade andra gudar;
This took place, because the children of Israel had sinned against the Lord their God, who had brought them up out of the land of Egypt, from under the hand of Pharaoh the king of Egypt, and had feared other gods,
8 Och vandrade efter Hedningarnas seder, hvilka Herren för Israels barn fördrifvit hade, och såsom Israels Konungar gjort hade;
And had walked in the customs of the nations whom the Lord had driven out from before the children of Israel, and in those of the kings of Israel, which they had made.
9 Och skickade sig icke tillbörliga för Herranom sinom Gud; och byggde sig höjder i alla städer, både på slott och i fasta städer;
And [because] the children of Israel had secretly done things that are not right against the Lord their God, and had built themselves high-places in all their cities, from the tower of the watchmen up to fortified cities;
10 Och uppreste stodar och lundar på alla backar, och under all grön trä;
And had set themselves up statues and groves on every high hill, and under every green tree;
11 Och rökte der på alla höjder, lika såsom Hedningarna, hvilka Herren för dem fördrifvit hade; och bedrefvo slem stycke, dermed de förtörnade Herran;
And had burnt there incense on all the high-places, like the nations that the Lord had led away exiles before them; and wrought wicked things to provoke the Lord to anger;
12 Och tjente afgudar, om hvilka Herren dem sagt hade: Detta skolen I icke göra.
And had served the idols, whereof the Lord had said unto them, Ye shall not do this thing.
13 Och då Herren betygade i Israel och Juda, genom alla Propheter och Siare, och lät säga dem: Vänder om utaf edra onda vägar, och håller min bud och rätter, efter all de lag som jag edra fäder budit hafver, och jag genom mina tjenare Propheterna till eder sändt hafver.
The Lord had indeed warned Israel and Judah, by means of all the prophets, all the seers, saying, Turn ye back from your evil ways, and keep my commandments [and] my statutes, in accordance with all the law which I commanded your fathers, and which I have sent to you by means of my servants the prophets.
14 Men de lydde intet, utan gjorde sig hårdnackade, såsom ock deras fäder gjort hade, hvilke icke trodde på Herran deras Gud.
But they would not hear, and hardened their neck, like the neck of their fathers, who had not believed in the Lord their God;
15 Dertill föraktade de hans bud, och hans förbund som han med deras fäder gjort hade, och hans vittnesbörd som han ibland dem gjort hade, och vandrade efter deras fåfängelighet, och vordo fåfängelige såsom Hedningarna, som omkring dem voro, om hvilka Herren dem budit hade, att de icke skulle göra såsom de.
And they despised his statutes, and his covenant which he had made with their fathers, and his testimonies which he had entrusted to them; and they followed after what is vanity, and became vain, and followed after the nations that were round about them, concerning whom the Lord had charged them, not to do like them.
16 Men de öfvergåfvo all Herrans deras Guds bud, och gjorde sig två gjutna kalfvar, och lundar; och tillbådo allan himmelens här, och tjente Baal;
And they forsook all the commandments of the Lord their God, and made themselves molten images, two calves, and made a grove, and bowed down to all the host of the heavens, and served Ba'al;
17 Och läto sina söner och döttrar gå igenom eld, och foro med spådom och trolldom; och gåfvo sig till att göra det ondt var för Herranom, till att förtörna honom.
And they caused their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire, and used divinations and enchantments, and sold themselves to do what is evil in the eyes of the Lord, to provoke him to anger.
18 Så vardt Herren ganska vred på Israel, och kastade dem bort ifrå sitt ansigte; så att intet blef qvart, utan Juda slägt allena.
Therefore became the Lord very angry with Israel, and he removed them from his presence: there was none left but the tribe of Judah alone.
19 Dertill höll icke heller Juda Herrans sins Guds bud, utan vandrade efter Israels seder, som de gjort hade.
Also Judah kept not the commandments of the Lord their God, but walked in the customs of Israel which they had made.
20 Derföre förkastade Herren all Israels säd, och plågade dem; och gaf dem i röfvarehänder, tilldess han kastade dem ifrå sitt ansigte.
Therefore did the Lord reject all the seed of Israel, and he afflicted them, and gave them up into the hand of spoilers, until that he had cast them out of his presence.
21 Förty Israel vardt söndrad ifrå Davids hus, och hade gjort sig Jerobeam, Nebats son, till Konung. Han vände Israel ifrå Herranom, och gjorde det så, att de svårliga syndade.
For Israel had torn themselves from the house of David, and they made Jerobo'am the son of Nebat king: and Jerobo'am misled Israel from following the Lord, and caused them to commit a great sin;
22 Alltså vandrade Israels barn uti alla Jerobeams synder, som han hade åstadkommit, och icke återvände deraf;
And the children of Israel walked in all the sins of Jerobo'am which he did; they departed not therefrom.
23 Intilldess Herren kastade Israel ifrå sitt ansigte, såsom han igenom alla sina tjenare Propheterna sagt hade. Så vardt då Israel bortförd utu sitt land in uti Assyrien, allt intill denna dag.
Until that the Lord removed Israel out of his presence, as he had spoken by means of all his servants the prophets; and Israel was led away as exiles out of their own land to Assyria even until this day.
24 Och Konungen af Assyrien lät komma folk af Babel, af Cutha, af Ava, af Hamath och Sepharvaim, och besatte de städer i Samarien uti Israels barnas stad; och de togo Samarien in, och bodde uti dess städer.
And the king of Assyria brought [men] from Babylon, and from Cuthah, and from 'Avva, and from Chamath, and from Sepharvayim, and settled them in the cities of Samaria in the room of the children of Israel: and they took possession of Samaria, and dwelt in its cities.
25 Men som de då begynte att bo der, och fruktade intet Herran, sände Herren lejon ibland dem, som slogo dem ihjäl.
And it happened at the beginning of their dwelling there, that they feared not the Lord; wherefore the Lord sent among them lions, which slew some of them.
26 Och de läto säga Konungenom i Assyrien: De Hedningar, som du hafver låtit komma hit, och besatt med de städer i Samarien, veta intet af landsens Guds seder; derföre hafver han sändt lejon ibland dem, och si, de dräpa dem, efter de icke veta utaf landsens Guds seder.
And they said to the king of Assyria, as followeth, The nations that thou hast led away, and settled in the cities of Samaria, know not the manner of the God of the land; wherefore he hath sent among them lions, and, behold, they are slaying them, since they know not the manner of the God of the land.
27 Konungen i Assyrien böd, och sade: Förer dit en af Presterna, som dädan bortförde äro; han fare dit, och bo der; och han läre dem landsens Guds seder.
Then commanded the king of Assyria, saying, Carry thither one of the priests whom ye led away from there; and let them go and dwell there, and let him teach them the manner of the God of the land.
28 Så kom en af Presterna, som af Samarien bortförde voro, och satte sig i BethEl, och lärde dem, huru de skulle frukta Herran.
And there came one of the priests whom they had led away as exiles from Samaria, and dwelt in Beth-el; and he taught them how they should fear the Lord.
29 Men hvart och ett folk gjorde sig sin gud, och satte dem uti de höjders hus, som de Samariter gjorde, hvart och ett folk uti sina städer, der de bodde.
Yet they made, every nation, their own gods; and they put them in the houses of the high-places which the Samaritans had made, every nation in their cities wherein they dwelt.
30 De af Babel gjorde SuccothBenoth; de af Cuth gjorde Nergal; de af Hamath gjorde Asima;
And the men of Babylon made Succoth-benoth, and the men of Cuth made Neregal, and the men of Chamath made Ashima.
31 De af Ava gjorde Nibhas och Thartak; de af Sepharvaim brände upp sina söner Adrammelech och Anammelech, Sepharvaims gudom.
And the 'Avvites made Nibchaz and Tharthak, and the Sepharvites burnt their children in fire to 'Adrammelech and 'Anammelech, the gods of Sepharvayim.
32 Och efter de ock fruktade Herran, gjorde de honom Prester på höjderna utaf de ringesta ibland dem, och satte dem i höjdernas hus.
And they feared [also] the Lord; and they made unto themselves of the lowest of them priests of the high-places, and these sacrificed for them in the houses of the high-places.
33 Alltså fruktade de Herran, och tjente likväl af gudomen, efter hvars folkens sed, dädan de förde voro.
The Lord did they fear, and their own gods did they serve, after the manner of the nations whence they had been led away.
34 Och intill denna dag göra de efter det gamla sättet, att de hvarken frukta Herran, eller göra hans seder och rätter, efter de lag och bud, som Herren Jacobs barn budit hafver, hvilkom han det namnet Israel gaf.
Even until this day do they act after the former manners: they fear not the Lord, neither do they act after their own customs, and after their manner, nor after the law and after the commandment which the Lord commanded the children of Israel, whose name he styled Israel;
35 Och gjorde Herren ett förbund med dem, och böd dem, och sade: Frukter inga andra gudar, och tillbeder dem icke, och tjener dem icke, och offrer dem icke;
With whom the Lord had made a covenant, and charged them, saying, Ye shall not fear other gods, nor bow yourselves down to them, nor serve them, nor sacrifice to them;
36 Utan Herranom, som eder utur Egypti land fört hafver, med stora magt och uträcktom arm, honom frukter, honom tillbeder, och offrer honom;
But the Lord, who hath brought you up out of the land of Egypt with great might and with an outstretched arm, him alone shall ye fear, and to him shall ye bow yourselves down, and to him shall ye sacrifice;
37 Och håller de seder, rätter, lag och bud, som han eder hafver skrifva låtit; att I alltid gören derefter, och icke frukten andra gudar;
And the statutes, and the ordinances, and the law, and the commandment, which he hath written for you, shall ye observe to do for all time; and ye shall not fear other gods.
38 Och förgäter icke det förbund, som han med eder gjort hafver, att I icke frukten andra gudar;
And the covenant that I have made with you shall ye not forget; and ye shall not fear other gods.
39 Utan frukter Herran edar Gud; han varder eder hjelpandes ifrån alla edra fiendar.
But the Lord your God shall ye fear; and he will deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies.
40 Men desse lydde icke, utan gjorde efter sin förra sed.
Nevertheless they have not hearkened, but they act after their former manner.
41 Alltså fruktade desse Hedningarna Herran, och tjente likväl sina gudar. Sammalunda gjorde ock deras barn och barnabarn, såsom deras fäder gjort hade, allt intill denna dag.
So were these nations, while they feared the Lord, also serving their graven images; and both their children and their children's children do until this day as their fathers have done.
