< 2 Kings 17 >
1 Ní ọdún kejìlá ọba Ahasi ará Juda, Hosea ọmọ Ela jẹ ọba Israẹli ní Samaria, ó sì jẹ fún ọdún mẹ́sàn-án.
In the twelfth year of Ahaz king of Judah began Hoshea the son of Elah to reign in Samaria over Israel, and reigned nine years.
2 Ó sì ṣe búburú ní ojú Olúwa, ṣùgbọ́n kì í ṣe bí i ti ọba Israẹli ẹni tí ó ti wà ṣáájú rẹ̀.
And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, yet not as the kings of Israel that were before him.
3 Ṣalamaneseri ọba Asiria wá sókè láti mú Hosea, ẹni tí ó ti jẹ fún Ṣalamaneseri ó sì ti san owó òde fún un.
Against him came up Shalmaneser king of Assyria; and Hoshea became his servant, and brought him presents.
4 Ṣùgbọ́n ọba Asiria rí i wí pé Hosea jẹ́ ọlọ́tẹ̀, nítorí ó ti rán oníṣẹ́ sọ́dọ̀ ọba Ejibiti, kò sì san owó òde mọ́ fún ọba Asiria, gẹ́gẹ́ bí o ti máa ń ṣe ní ọdọọdún. Nígbà náà ọba Asiria fi agbára mú ún, ó sì fi sínú túbú.
And the king of Assyria found conspiracy in Hoshea; for he had sent messengers to So king of Egypt, and offered no present to the king of Assyria, as he had done year by year; therefore the king of Assyria shut him up, and bound him in prison.
5 Ọba Asiria gòkè wá sí gbogbo ibi ilé náà, ó sì lọ sí Samaria, ó sì dúró tí ì fún ọdún mẹ́ta.
Then the king of Assyria came up throughout all the land, and went up to Samaria, and besieged it three years.
6 Ní ọdún kẹsànán ti Hosea, ọba Asiria mú Samaria ó sì kó Israẹli lọ sí Asiria. Ó sì fi wọ́n sílẹ̀ ní Hala, ní Gosani ní etí odò Habori àti ní ìlú àwọn ará Media.
In the ninth year of Hoshea, the king of Assyria took Samaria, and carried Israel away unto Assyria, and placed them in Halah, and in Habor, on the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes.
7 Gbogbo eléyìí ṣẹlẹ̀ nítorí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli ti dẹ́ṣẹ̀ sí Olúwa Ọlọ́run wọn, ẹni tí ó mú wọn jáde ní Ejibiti lábẹ́ agbára Farao ọba Ejibiti. Wọ́n sin ọlọ́run mìíràn,
And it was so, because the children of Israel had sinned against the LORD their God, who brought them up out of the land of Egypt from under the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and had feared other gods,
8 wọn si tẹ̀lé ìwà orílẹ̀-èdè tí Olúwa ti gbá kúrò níwájú wọn gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìwà ti ọba Israẹli tí ó ti paláṣẹ.
and walked in the statutes of the nations, whom the LORD cast out from before the children of Israel, and of the kings of Israel, which they practised;
9 Àwọn ọmọ Israẹli ṣe ohun ìríra sí Olúwa Ọlọ́run wọn kọ́ láti ilé ìṣọ́ sí ìlú tí a dáàbò bò, wọ́n kọ́ ilé gíga fún ara wọn ní gbogbo ìlú wọn.
and the children of Israel did impute things that were not right unto the LORD their God, and they built them high places in all their cities, from the tower of the watchmen to the fortified city;
10 Wọ́n sì gbé àwọn òkúta tí a yà sọ́tọ̀ sókè àti ère òrìṣà Aṣerah lórí gbogbo igi tútù.
and they set them up pillars and Asherim upon every high hill, and under every leafy tree;
11 Ní gbogbo ibi gíga, wọ́n sun tùràrí gẹ́gẹ́ bí orílẹ̀-èdè tí Olúwa ti lé jáde níwájú wọn. Wọ́n ṣe ohun búburú tí ó rú ìbínú Olúwa sókè.
and there they offered in all the high places, as did the nations whom the LORD carried away before them; and wrought wicked things to provoke the LORD;
12 Wọ́n sìn òrìṣà, èyí tí Olúwa ti sọ pé, “Ẹ kò gbọdọ̀ ṣe èyí.”
and they served idols, whereof the LORD had said unto them: 'Ye shall not do this thing';
13 Olúwa kìlọ̀ fún Israẹli àti Juda nípa gbogbo àwọn wòlíì wọn àti aríran: “Ẹ yípadà kúrò ní ọ̀nà búburú yín. Kí ẹ ṣe òfin mi àti ìlànà mi, ní ìbámu pẹ̀lú gbogbo òfin tí Èmi paláṣẹ fún àwọn baba yín láti tẹ̀lé àti èyí tí mo rán sí i yín nípa ìránṣẹ́ àwọn wòlíì mi.”
yet the LORD forewarned Israel, and Judah, by the hand of every prophet, and of every seer, saying: 'Turn ye from your evil ways, and keep My commandments and My statutes, according to all the law which I commanded your fathers, and which I sent to you by the hand of My servants the prophets';
14 Ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò ní gbọ́, wọ́n sì ṣe gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọlọ́rùn líle gẹ́gẹ́ bí i ti baba wọn, ẹni tí kò gbà Olúwa Ọlọ́run wọn gbọ́.
notwithstanding they would not hear, but hardened their neck, like to the neck of their fathers, who believed not in the LORD their God;
15 Wọ́n kọ̀ ìlànà rẹ̀ àti májẹ̀mú tí ó ti ṣe pẹ̀lú baba wọn àti ìkìlọ̀ tí ó ti fi fún wọn. Wọ́n tẹ̀lé òrìṣà aláìníláárí, àwọn fún rara wọn sì jẹ́ aláìníláárí. Wọ́n tẹ̀lé orílẹ̀-èdè tí ó yí wọn ká bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé Olúwa ti kìlọ̀ fún wọn pé, “Má ṣe ṣe gẹ́gẹ́ bí wọn tí ń ṣe,” wọ́n sì ṣe ohun tí Olúwa ti kà léèwọ̀ fún wọn láti ṣe.
and they rejected His statutes, and His covenant that He made with their fathers, and His testimonies wherewith He testified against them; and they went after things of nought, and became nought, and after the nations that were round about them, concerning whom the LORD had charged them that they should not do like them;
16 Wọ́n kọ̀ gbogbo òfin Olúwa Ọlọ́run wọn sílẹ̀, wọ́n sì ṣe òrìṣà méjì fún ara wọn, wọ́n sì gbẹ́ ẹ ọ̀kan ní ère ẹgbọrọ màlúù, àti ọ̀kan ní ère òrìṣà Aṣerah. Wọ́n sì tẹrí wọn ba sí gbogbo ogun ọ̀run, wọ́n sì sin Baali.
and they forsook all the commandments of the LORD their God, and made them molten images, even two calves, and made an Asherah, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served Baal;
17 Wọ́n sì fi àwọn ọmọkùnrin àti àwọn ọmọbìnrin wọn rú ẹbọ nínú iná. Wọ́n sì ń fọ àfọ̀ṣẹ, wọ́n sì ń ṣe àlúpàyídà wọ́n sì ta ara wọn láti ṣe ohun búburú níwájú Olúwa, wọ́n sì mú un bínú.
and they caused their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire, and used divination and enchantments, and gave themselves over to do that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke Him;
18 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Olúwa sì bínú gidigidi pẹ̀lú Israẹli ó sì mú wọn kúrò níwájú rẹ̀. Ẹ̀yà Juda nìkan ṣoṣo ni ó kù,
that the LORD was very angry with Israel, and removed them out of His sight; there was none left but the tribe of Judah only.
19 àti pẹ̀lú, Juda kò pa òfin Olúwa Ọlọ́run wọn mọ́. Wọ́n tẹ̀lé ìhùwàsí àwọn Israẹli tí wọ́n ṣe.
Also Judah kept not the commandments of the LORD their God, but walked in the statutes of Israel which they practised.
20 Nítorí náà Olúwa kọ gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn Israẹli; ó sì jẹ wọ́n ní yà. Ó sì fi wọ́n lé ọwọ́ àwọn olè títí tí ó fi ta wọ́n nù kúrò níwájú rẹ̀.
And the LORD rejected all the seed of Israel, and afflicted them, and delivered them into the hand of spoilers, until He had cast them out of His sight.
21 Nígbà tí ó ta Israẹli kúrò láti ìdílé Dafidi, wọ́n sì mú Jeroboamu ọmọ Nebati jẹ ọba wọn. Jeroboamu sì mú kí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli yípadà kúrò ní títẹ̀lé Olúwa, ó sí mú kí wọn dẹ́ṣẹ̀ ńlá.
For He rent Israel from the house of David; and they made Jeroboam the son of Nebat king; and Jeroboam drew Israel away from following the LORD, and made them sin a great sin.
22 Àwọn ọmọ Israẹli forítì í nínú gbogbo ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ Jeroboamu kò sì yí padà kúrò lọ́dọ̀ wọn,
And the children of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam which he did; they departed not from them;
23 títí tí Olúwa fi mú wọn kúrò níwájú rẹ̀, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ó ti paláṣẹ láti ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn ìránṣẹ́ wòlíì. Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni a kó gbogbo ènìyàn Israẹli kúrò ní ilẹ̀ wọn lọ sí ìgbèkùn ni Asiria, títí di òní yìí.
until the LORD removed Israel out of His sight, as He spoke by the hand of all His servants the prophets. So Israel was carried away out of their own land to Assyria, unto this day.
24 Ọba Asiria mú àwọn ènìyàn láti Babeli, Kuta, Afa, Hamati àti Sefarfaimi, wọ́n sì fi wọ́n sínú ìlú Samaria láti rọ́pò àwọn ọmọ Israẹli. Wọ́n sì ń gbé ní ìlú náà.
And the king of Assyria brought men from Babylon, and from Cuthah, and from Avva, and from Hamath and Sepharvaim, and placed them in the cities of Samaria instead of the children of Israel; and they possessed Samaria, and dwelt in the cities thereof.
25 Nígbà tí wọ́n gbé bẹ̀ ní àkọ́kọ́, wọn kò sì bẹ̀rù Olúwa, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ó rán kìnnìún sí àárín wọn. Wọ́n sì pa nínú wọn.
And so it was, at the beginning of their dwelling there, that they feared not the LORD; therefore the LORD sent lions among them, which killed some of them.
26 Wọ́n sì sọ fún ọba Asiria pé, “Àwọn ènìyàn tí ìwọ lé kúrò tí o sì fi sínú ìlú Samaria kò mọ ohun tí ọlọ́run ìlú náà béèrè. Ó sì ti rán kìnnìún sí àárín wọn, tí ó sì ń pa wọ́n run, nítorí ènìyàn wọn kò mọ ohun tí ó béèrè.”
Wherefore they spoke to the king of Assyria, saying: 'The nations which thou hast carried away, and placed in the cities of Samaria, know not the manner of the God of the land; therefore He hath sent lions among them, and, behold, they slay them, because they know not the manner of the God of the land.'
27 Nígbà náà ọba Asiria pàṣẹ yìí wí pé, “Mú ọ̀kan lára àwọn àlùfáà tí ó mú láti Samaria lọ padà gbé níbẹ̀ kí ó sì kọ́ àwọn ènìyàn ní, ohun tí ọlọ́run ilẹ̀ náà béèrè.”
Then the king of Assyria commanded, saying: 'Carry thither one of the priests whom ye brought from thence; and let them go and dwell there, and let him teach them the manner of the God of the land.'
28 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ọ̀kan lára àwọn àlùfáà tí ó ti kúrò ní Samaria wá gbé ní Beteli ó sì kọ́ wọn bí a ti ń sin Olúwa.
So one of the priests whom they had carried away from Samaria came and dwelt in Beth-el, and taught them how they should fear the LORD.
29 Bí ó tilẹ̀ rí bẹ́ẹ̀, olúkúlùkù orílẹ̀-èdè ṣe òrìṣà tirẹ̀ ní gbogbo ìlú níbi tí wọ́n gbé wà, wọ́n sì gbé wọn nínú ilé òrìṣà àti àwọn ènìyàn Samaria ó sì ṣe wọ́n sí ibi gíga wọ̀n-ọn-nì.
Howbeit every nation made gods of their own, and put them in the houses of the high places which the Samaritans had made, every nation in their cities wherein they dwelt.
30 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àwọn ọkùnrin láti Babeli ṣe àgọ́ àwọn wúńdíá, àwọn ènìyàn Kuti ṣe òrìṣà Nergali, àti àwọn ènìyàn Hamati ṣe ti Aṣima;
And the men of Babylon made Succoth-benoth, and the men of Cuth made Nergal, and the men of Hamath made Ashima,
31 àti àwọn ará Afa ṣe Nibhasi àti Tartaki, àti àwọn ará Sefarfaimi sun àwọn ọmọ wọn níná gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹbọ sí Adrameleki àti Anameleki, àwọn òrìṣà Sefarfaimi.
and the Avvites made Nibhaz and Tartak, and the Sepharvites burnt their children in the fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech, the gods of Sepharvaim.
32 Wọ́n sin Olúwa, ṣùgbọ́n wọ́n sì tún yan gbogbo ẹgbẹ́ tí ènìyàn wọn láti ṣe iṣẹ́ oyè fún wọn gẹ́gẹ́ bí àlùfáà ní ibi gíga.
So they feared the LORD, and made unto them from among themselves priests of the high places, who sacrificed for them in the houses of the high places.
33 Wọ́n sin Olúwa ṣùgbọ́n wọ́n sin òrìṣà wọn ní ìṣọ̀kan pẹ̀lú àṣà orílẹ̀-èdè wọn láti ibi tí wọ́n ti gbé wọn wá.
They feared the LORD, and served their own gods, after the manner of the nations from among whom they had been carried away.
34 Láti ìgbà náà wá àwọn àlùfáà wọn ṣe bí ti àtẹ̀yìnwá. Wọn kò sin Olúwa tàbí kí wọ́n fi ara mọ́ ìlànà àti àṣẹ àti òfin tí Olúwa fi fún ìránṣẹ́ Jakọbu, tí wọ́n pe orúkọ rẹ̀ ní Israẹli.
Unto this day they do after the former manners: they fear not the LORD, neither do they after their statutes, or after their ordinances, or after the law or after the commandment which the LORD commanded the children of Jacob, whom He named Israel;
35 Nígbà tí Olúwa ṣe májẹ̀mú pẹ̀lú àwọn ọmọ Israẹli ó pàṣẹ fún wọn pé, “Ẹ má ṣe sin òrìṣà mìíràn tàbí tẹríba fún wọn, sìn wọ́n tàbí kí ẹ rú ẹbọ sí wọn.
with whom the LORD had made a covenant, and charged them, saying: 'Ye shall not fear other gods, nor bow down to them, nor serve them, nor sacrifice to them;
36 Ṣùgbọ́n Olúwa, ẹni tí ó mú yín gòkè jáde wá láti ilẹ̀ Ejibiti pẹ̀lú agbára ńlá àti nínà apá, òun ni ẹni náà tí ó yẹ kí ẹ sìn. Òun ni ẹni tí ó yẹ kí ẹ tẹríba fún àti sí òun ni kí ẹ rú ẹbọ fún.
but the LORD, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt with great power and with an outstretched arm, Him shall ye fear, and Him shall ye worship, and to Him shall ye sacrifice;
37 Ó yẹ kí ẹ̀yin kí ó máa kíyèsi ara yín gidigidi láti pa ìlànà àti àṣẹ, àti òfin tí ó kọ fún un yín mọ́. Ẹ má ṣe sin ọlọ́run mìíràn.
and the statutes and the ordinances, and the law and the commandment, which He wrote for you, ye shall observe to do for evermore; and ye shall not fear other gods;
38 Ẹ má ṣe gbàgbé májẹ̀mú tí mo ti ṣe pẹ̀lú yín mọ́ àti kí ẹ má sin ọlọ́run mìíràn.
and the covenant that I have made with you ye shall not forget; neither shall ye fear other gods;
39 Kúkú sin Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ; Òun ni ẹni náà tí yóò gbà yín kúrò lọ́wọ́ gbogbo àwọn ọ̀tá a yín.”
but the LORD your God shall ye fear; and He will deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies.'
40 Wọn kò ní gbọ́, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni, wọ́n sì ń ṣe iṣẹ́ wọ́n ti àtijọ́.
Howbeit they did not hearken, but they did after their former manner.
41 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àwọn ènìyàn wọn sin Olúwa, wọ́n sì ń sin òrìṣà wọn. Títí di ọjọ́ òní ọmọ wọn àti àwọn ọmọ ọmọ wọn sì ń ṣe bí àwọn baba wọn ti ń ṣe.
So these nations feared the LORD, and served their graven images; their children likewise, and their children's children, as did their fathers, so do they unto this day.
