1No ano décimo segundo de Acaz rei de Judá, começou a reinar Oseias filho de Elá em Samaria sobre Israel; e reinou nove anos. 2E fez o que era mau aos olhos do SENHOR, ainda que não como os reis de Israel que antes dele haviam sido. 3Contra este subiu Salmaneser rei dos assírios; e Oseias foi feito seu servo, e pagava-lhe tributo. 4Mas o rei da Assíria achou que Oseias fazia conspiração: porque havia enviado embaixadores a Sô, rei do Egito, e não pagava tributo ao rei da Assíria, como cada ano: pelo que o rei da Assíria lhe deteve, e lhe aprisionou na casa do cárcere. 5E o rei da Assíria partiu contra todo o país, e subiu contra Samaria, e esteve sobre ela três anos. 6No ano nove de Oseias tomou o rei da Assíria a Samaria, e transportou a Israel a Assíria, e os pôs em Hala, e em Habor, junto ao rio de Gozã, e nas cidades dos medos. 7Porque como os filhos de Israel pecassem contra o SENHOR seu Deus, que os tirou da terra do Egito de sob a mão de Faraó rei do Egito, e temessem a deuses alheios, 8E andassem nos estatutos das nações que o SENHOR havia lançado diante dos filhos de Israel, e nos dos reis de Israel, que fizeram; 9E os filhos de Israel fizeram secretamente coisas que não eram corretas, contra o SENHOR seu Deus, edificando para si altos em todas as suas cidades, desde as torres das atalaias até as cidades fortes, 10E levantaram para si estátuas e bosques em todo morro alto, e debaixo de toda árvore frondosa, 11E queimaram ali incenso em todos os altos, à maneira das nações que o SENHOR havia expulsado diante deles, e fizeram coisas muito más para provocar o SENHOR à ira, 12Pois serviam aos ídolos, dos quais o SENHOR lhes havia dito: Vós não haveis de fazer isto; 13O SENHOR advertia, então, contra Israel e contra Judá, por meio de todos os profetas, e de todos os videntes, dizendo: Convertei-vos de vossos maus caminhos, e guardai meus mandamentos e minhas ordenanças, conforme a todas as leis que eu prescrevi a vossos pais, e que os enviei por meio de meus servos, os profetas. 14Mas eles não obedeceram, antes endureceram sua cerviz, como a cerviz de seus pais, os quais não creram no SENHOR seu Deus. 15E rejeitaram seus estatutos, e seu pacto que ele havia concertado com seus pais, e seus testemunhos que ele havia advertido contra eles; e seguiram a vaidade, e se fizeram vãos, e seguiram as nações que estavam ao redor deles, das quais o SENHOR havia lhes mandado que não fizessem à maneira delas; 16E deixaram todos os mandamentos do SENHOR seu Deus, e fizeram para si imagens de dois bezerros, e também bosques, e adoraram a todo o exército do céu, e serviram a Baal: 17E fizeram passar a seus filhos e a suas filhas por fogo; e deram-se a adivinhações e agouros, e entregaram-se a fazer o que era mau aos olhos do SENHOR, provocando-o à ira. 18O SENHOR, portanto, se irou em grande maneira contra Israel, e tirou-os de diante de seu rosto; que não restou a não ser somente a tribo de Judá. 19Mas nem ainda Judá guardou os mandamentos do SENHOR seu Deus; antes andaram nos estatutos de Israel, os quais eles haviam feito. 20E rejeitou o SENHOR toda a semente de Israel, e afligiu-os, e entregou-os em mãos de saqueadores, até lançá-los de sua presença. 21Porque cortou a Israel da casa de Davi, e eles se fizeram rei a Jeroboão filho de Nebate; e Jeroboão desviou a Israel de seguir o SENHOR, e fez-lhes cometer grande pecado. 22E os filhos de Israel andaram em todos os pecados de Jeroboão que ele fez, sem desviar-se deles; 23Até que o SENHOR tirou a Israel de diante de seu rosto, como o havia ele dito por meio de todos os profetas seus servos: e Israel foi transportado de sua terra à Assíria, até hoje. 24E trouxe o rei da Assíria gente de Babilônia, e de Cuta, e de Hava, e de Hamate, e de Sefarvaim, e os pôs nas cidades de Samaria, em lugar dos filhos de Israel; e possuíram a Samaria, e habitaram em suas cidades. 25E aconteceu ao princípio, quando começaram a habitar ali, que não temendo eles ao SENHOR, enviou o SENHOR contra eles leões que os matavam. 26Então disseram eles ao rei da Assíria: As nações que tu transportaste e puseste nas cidades de Samaria, não sabem a costume do Deus daquela terra, e ele lançou leões neles, e eis que os matam, porque não sabem a costume do Deus da terra. 27E o rei da Assíria mandou, dizendo: Levai ali a algum dos sacerdotes que trouxestes dali, e vão e habitem ali, e ensinem-lhes o costume do Deus do país. 28E veio um dos sacerdotes que haviam transportado de Samaria, e habitou em Betel, e ensinou-lhes como haviam de temer ao SENHOR. 29Mas cada nação fez para si seus deuses, e puseram-nos nos templos dos altos que haviam feito os de Samaria; cada nação em sua cidade onde habitava. 30Os da Babilônia fizeram a Sucote-Benote, e os de Cuta fizeram a Nergal, e os de Hamate fizeram a Asima; 31Os heveus fizeram a Nibaz e a Tartaque; e os de Sefarvaim queimavam seus filhos ao fogo a Adrameleque e a Anameleque, deuses de Sefarvaim. 32E temiam ao SENHOR; e fizeram dos do povo sacerdotes dos altos, os quais sacrificavam para eles nos templos dos altos. 33Temiam ao SENHOR, e honravam a seus deuses, segundo o costume das nações de onde haviam sido transportados. 34Até hoje fazem como primeiro; que nem temem ao SENHOR, nem guardam seus estatutos, nem suas ordenanças, nem fazem segundo a lei e os mandamentos que prescreveu o SENHOR aos filhos de Jacó, ao qual pôs o nome de Israel; 35Com os quais havia o SENHOR feito pacto, e lhes mandou, dizendo: Não temereis a outros deuses, nem os adorareis, nem lhes servireis, nem lhes sacrificareis: 36Mas ao SENHOR, que vos tirou da terra do Egito com grande poder e braço estendido, a este temereis, e a este adorareis, e a este fareis sacrifício. 37Os estatutos e direitos e lei e mandamentos que vos deu por escrito, cuidareis sempre de praticá-los, e não temereis deuses alheios. 38E não esquecereis o pacto que fiz convosco; nem temereis deuses alheios: 39Mas temei ao SENHOR vosso Deus, e ele vos livrará da mão de todos vossos inimigos. 40Porém eles não escutaram; antes fizeram segundo seu costume antigo. 41Assim temeram ao SENHOR aquelas nações, e juntamente serviram a seus ídolos: e também seus filhos e seus netos, segundo que fizeram seus pais, assim fazem até hoje.
1In the twelfth year of Ahaz king of Judah, Hoshea the son of Elah began to reign in Samaria over Israel for nine years. 2He did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, yet not as the kings of Israel who were before him. 3Against him came up Shalmaneser king of Assyria; and Hoshea became his servant, and brought him tribute. 4The king of Assyria found conspiracy in Hoshea; for he had sent messengers to So king of Egypt, and offered no tribute 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. 5Then the king of Assyria came up throughout all the land, and went up to Samaria, and besieged it three years. 6In the ninth year of Hoshea the king of Assyria took Samaria, and carried Israel away to Assyria, and placed them in Halah, and on the Habor, the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes. 7It was so, because the children of Israel had sinned against Yahweh 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, 8and walked in the statutes of the nations, whom Yahweh cast out from before the children of Israel, and of the kings of Israel, which they made. 9The children of Israel did secretly things that were not right against Yahweh their God: and they built them high places in all their cities, from the tower of the watchmen to the fortified city; 10and they set them up pillars and Asherah poles on every high hill, and under every green tree; 11and there they burnt incense in all the high places, as did the nations whom Yahweh carried away before them; and they worked wicked things to provoke Yahweh to anger; 12and they served idols, of which Yahweh had said to them, “You shall not do this thing.” 13Yet Yahweh 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, according to all the law which I commanded your fathers, and which I sent to you by my servants the prophets.” 14Notwithstanding, they would not listen, but hardened their neck, like the neck of their fathers, who didn’t believe in Yahweh their God. 15They rejected his statutes, and his covenant that he made with their fathers, and his testimonies which he testified to them; and they followed vanity, and became vain, and followed the nations that were around them, concerning whom Yahweh had commanded them that they should not do like them. 16They abandoned all the commandments of Yahweh their God, and made them molten images, even two calves, and made an Asherah, and worshiped all the army of the sky, and served Baal. 17They caused their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire, and used divination and enchantments, and sold themselves to do that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, to provoke him to anger. 18Therefore Yahweh was very angry with Israel, and removed them out of his sight: there was none left but the tribe of Judah only. 19Also Judah didn’t keep the commandments of Yahweh their God, but walked in the statutes of Israel which they made. 20Yahweh rejected all the seed of Israel, and afflicted them, and delivered them into the hand of raiders, until he had cast them out of his sight. 21For he tore Israel from the house of David; and they made Jeroboam the son of Nebat king: and Jeroboam drove Israel from following Yahweh, and made them sin a great sin. 22The children of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam which he did; they didn’t depart from them; 23until Yahweh removed Israel out of his sight, as he spoke by all his servants the prophets. So Israel was carried away out of their own land to Assyria to this day. 24The 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 lived in the cities of it. 25So it was, at the beginning of their dwelling there, that they didn’t fear Yahweh: therefore Yahweh sent lions among them, which killed some of them. 26Therefore they spoke to the king of Assyria, saying, “The nations which you have carried away, and placed in the cities of Samaria, don’t know the law of the god of the land. Therefore he has sent lions among them, and behold, they kill them, because they don’t know the law of the god of the land.” 27Then the king of Assyria commanded, saying, “Carry there one of the priests whom you brought from there; and let them go and dwell there, and let him teach them the law of the god of the land.” 28So one of the priests whom they had carried away from Samaria came and lived in Bethel, and taught them how they should fear Yahweh. 29However 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 in which they lived. 30The men of Babylon made Succoth Benoth, and the men of Cuth made Nergal, and the men of Hamath made Ashima, 31and the Avvites made Nibhaz and Tartak; and the Sepharvites burnt their children in the fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech, the gods of Sepharvaim. 32So they feared Yahweh, and made to them from among themselves priests of the high places, who sacrificed for them in the houses of the high places. 33They feared Yahweh, and served their own gods, after the ways of the nations from among whom they had been carried away. 34To this day they do what they did before: they don’t fear Yahweh, neither do they follow their statutes, or their ordinances, or the law or the commandment which Yahweh commanded the children of Jacob, whom he named Israel; 35with whom Yahweh had made a covenant, and commanded them, saying, “You shall not fear other gods, nor bow yourselves to them, nor serve them, nor sacrifice to them; 36but you shall fear Yahweh, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt with great power and with an outstretched arm, and you shall bow yourselves to him, and you shall sacrifice to him. 37The statutes and the ordinances, and the law and the commandment, which he wrote for you, you shall observe to do forever more. You shall not fear other gods. 38You shall not forget the covenant that I have made with you; neither shall you fear other gods. 39But you shall fear Yahweh your God; and he will deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies.” 40However they did not listen, but they did what they did before. 41So these nations feared Yahweh, and served their engraved images. Their children likewise, and their children’s children, as their fathers did, so they do to this day.
1In het twaalfde jaar van Achaz, den koning van Juda, werd Hosea, de zoon van Ela, koning over Israel te Samaria, en regeerde negen jaren. 2En hij deed dat kwaad was in de ogen des HEEREN; evenwel niet, als de koningen van Israel, die voor hem geweest waren. 3Tegen hem toog op Salmaneser, koning van Assyrie; en Hosea werd zijn knecht, dat hij hem een geschenk gaf. 4Maar de koning van Assyrie bevond een verbintenis in Hosea, dat hij tot So, den koning van Egypte, boden gezonden had, en het geschenk aan den koning van Assyrie niet als te voren van jaar tot jaar opbracht; zo besloot hem de koning van Assyrie, en bond hem in het gevangenhuis. 5Want de koning van Assyrie toog op in het ganse land; ja, hij kwam op naar Samaria, en hij belegerde haar drie jaren. 6In het negende jaar van Hosea, nam de koning van Assyrie Samaria in, en voerde Israel weg in Assyrie, en deed ze wonen in Halah, en in Habor, aan de rivier Gozan, en in de steden der Meden. 7Want het was geschied, dat de kinderen Israels gezondigd hadden tegen den HEERE, hun God, Die hen uit Egypteland opgebracht had, van onder de hand van Farao, den koning van Egypte; en hadden andere goden gevreesd; 8En hadden gewandeld in de inzettingen der heidenen, die de HEERE voor het aangezicht der kinderen Israels verdreven had, en der koningen van Israel, die ze gemaakt hadden. 9En de kinderen Israels hadden de zaken, die niet recht zijn, tegen den HEERE, hun God, bemanteld; en hadden zich hoogten gebouwd in al hun steden, van den wachttoren af tot de vaste steden toe. 10En zij hadden zich staande beelden opgericht en bossen, op allen hogen heuvel en onder alle groen geboomte. 11En zij hadden daar gerookt op alle hoogten, gelijk de heidenen, die de HEERE van hun aangezichten weggevoerd had; en zij hadden kwade dingen gedaan, om den HEERE tot toorn te verwekken. 12En zij hadden de drekgoden gediend, waarvan de HEERE tot hen gezegd had: Gij zult deze zaak niet doen. 13Als nu de HEERE tegen Israel en tegen Juda, door den dienst van alle profeten, van alle zieners, betuigd had, zeggende: Bekeert u van uw boze wegen en houdt Mijn geboden, en Mijn inzettingen, naar al de wet, die Ik uw vaderen geboden heb, en die Ik tot u door de hand van Mijn knechten, de profeten, gezonden heb; 14Zo hoorden zij niet, maar zij verhardden hun nek, gelijk de nek hunner vaderen geweest was, die aan den HEERE, hun God, niet geloofd hadden. 15Daartoe verwierpen zij Zijn inzettingen, en Zijn verbond, dat Hij met hun vaderen gemaakt had, en Zijn getuigenissen, die Hij tegen hen betuigd had, en wandelden de ijdelheid na, dat zij ijdel werden, en achter de heidenen, die rondom hen waren, van dewelke de HEERE hun geboden had, dat zij niet zouden doen gelijk die. 16Ja, zij verlieten al de geboden des HEEREN, huns Gods, en maakten zich gegoten beelden, twee kalveren; en maakten bossen, en bogen zich voor alle heir des hemels, en dienden Baal. 17Ook deden zij hun zonen en hun dochteren door het vuur gaan, en gebruikten waarzeggerijen, en gaven op vogelgeschrei acht, en verkochten zich, om te doen dat kwaad was in de ogen des HEEREN, om Hem tot toorn te verwekken. 18Daarom vertoornde zich de HEERE zeer over Israel, dat Hij hen wegdeed van Zijn aangezicht; er bleef niets over, behalve de stam van Juda alleen. 19Zelfs hield Juda de geboden des HEEREN, huns Gods, niet; maar zij wandelden in de inzettingen van Israel, die zij gemaakt hadden. 20Zo verwierp de HEERE het ganse zaad van Israel, en bedrukte hen, en gaf ze in de hand der rovers, totdat Hij hen van Zijn aangezicht weggeworpen had. 21Want Hij scheurde Israel van het huis van David af, en zij maakten Jerobeam, den zoon van Nebat, koning; en Jerobeam dreef Israel af van achter den HEERE, en hij deed ze een grote zonde zondigen. 22Alzo wandelden de kinderen Israels in alle zonden van Jerobeam die hij gedaan had; zij weken daarvan niet af; 23Totdat de HEERE Israel van Zijn aangezicht wegdeed, gelijk als Hij gesproken had door den dienst van al Zijn knechten, de profeten; alzo werd Israel weggevoerd uit zijn land naar Assyrie, tot op dezen dag. 24De koning nu van Assyrie bracht volk van Babel, en van Chuta, en van Avva, en van Hamath, en Sefarvaim, en deed hen wonen in de steden van Samaria, in de plaats der kinderen Israels; en zij namen Samaria erfelijk in, en woonden in haar steden. 25En het geschiedde in het begin hunner woning aldaar, dat zij den HEERE niet vreesden; zo zond de HEERE leeuwen onder hen, die enigen van hen doodden. 26Daarom spraken zij tot den koning van Assyrie, zeggende: De volken, die gij vervoerd hebt, en hebt doen wonen in de steden van Samaria, weten de wijze des Gods van het land niet; daarom heeft Hij leeuwen onder hen gezonden, en ziet, zij doden hen, dewijl zij niet weten de wijze des Gods van het land. 27Toen gebood de koning van Assyrie, zeggende: Brengt een der priesteren daarheen, die gijlieden van daar weggevoerd hebt, dat zij henentrekken, en wonen aldaar; en dat hij hun lere de wijze des Gods van het land. 28Zo kwam een uit de priesteren, die zij van Samaria weggevoerd hadden, en woonde te Beth-El; en hij leerde hun, hoe zij den HEERE vrezen zouden. 29Maar elk volk maakte zijn goden; en zij stelden ze in de huizen der hoogten, die de Samaritanen gemaakt hadden, elk volk in hun steden, waarin zij woonachtig waren. 30Want de lieden van Babel maakten Sukkoth Benoth, en de lieden van Chut maakten Nergal, en de lieden van Hamath maakten Asima, 31En de Avieten maakten Nibhaz en Tartak, en de Sefarvieten verbrandden hun zonen voor Adramelech en Anamelech, de goden van Sefarvaim, met vuur. 32Ook vreesden zij den HEERE, en maakten zich van hun geringsten priesteren der hoogten, dewelke voor hen dienst deden in de huizen der hoogten. 33Zij vreesden den HEERE, en dienden ook hun goden, naar de wijze der volken, van dewelke zij die weggevoerd hadden. 34Tot op dezen dag toe doen die naar de eerste wijzen; zij vrezen den HEERE niet, en zij doen niet naar hun inzettingen, en naar hun rechten, en naar de wet, en naar het gebod, dat de HEERE geboden heeft aan de kinderen van Jakob, dien Hij den naam Israel gaf. 35Nochtans had de HEERE een verbond met hen gemaakt, en had hun geboden, zeggende: Gij zult geen andere goden vrezen, noch u voor hen nederbuigen, noch hen dienen, noch hun offerande doen. 36Maar den HEERE, Die u uit Egypteland met grote kracht en met een uitgestrekten arm opgevoerd heeft, Dien zult gij vrezen, en voor Hem zult gij u buigen, en Hem zult gij offerande doen; 37En de inzettingen, en de rechten, en de wet, en het gebod, die Hij u geschreven heeft, zult gij waarnemen te doen te allen dag; en gij zult andere goden niet vrezen. 38En het verbond, dat Ik met u gemaakt heb, zult gij niet vergeten; en gij zult andere goden niet vrezen. 39Maar den HEERE, uw God, zult gij vrezen; en Hij zal u redden uit de hand van al uw vijanden. 40Doch zij hoorden niet, maar zij deden naar hun eerste wijze. 41Maar deze volken vreesden den HEERE, en dienden hun gesneden beelden; ook doen hun kinderen en hun kindskinderen, gelijk als hun vaders gedaan hebben, tot op dezen dag.
