2 Mga Hari 17

1Nang ikalabing dalawang taon ni Achaz na hari sa Juda ay nagpasimula si Oseas na anak ni Ela na maghari sa Samaria sa Israel, at nagharing siyam na taon. 2At gumawa siya ng masama sa paningin ng Panginoon, bagaman hindi gaya ng mga hari sa Israel na mga una sa kaniya. 3Laban sa kaniya ay umahon si Salmanasar na hari sa Asiria; at si Oseas ay naging kaniyang lingkod, at dinalhan siya ng mga kaloob. 4At ang hari sa Asiria ay nakasumpong kay Oseas ng pagbabanta; sapagka't siya'y nagsugo ng mga sugo kay So na hari sa Egipto, at hindi naghandog ng kaloob sa hari sa Asiria, na gaya ng kaniyang ginagawa taontaon; kaya't kinulong siya ng hari sa Asiria, at ipinangaw siya sa bilangguan. 5Nang magkagayon ay umahon ang hari sa Asiria sa buong lupain, at umahon sa Samaria, at kinulong na tatlong taon. 6Nang ikasiyam na taon ni Oseas, sinakop ng hari sa Asiria ang Samaria, at dinala ang Israel sa Asiria, at inilagay sila sa Hala, at sa Habor, sa ilog ng Gozan, at sa mga bayan ng mga Medo. 7At nagkagayon, sapagka't ang mga anak ni Israel ay nangagkasala laban sa Panginoon nilang Dios, na siyang nagahon sa kanila mula sa lupain ng Egipto, mula sa kamay ni Faraon na hari sa Egipto, at sila'y natakot sa ibang mga dios. 8At lumakad sa mga palatuntunan ng mga bansa, na pinalayas ng Panginoon sa harap ng mga anak ni Israel, at ng mga hari ng Israel, na kanilang ginawa. 9At ang mga anak ni Israel ay nagsigawa ng mga lihim na bagay na hindi matuwid sa Panginoon nilang Dios, at sila'y nagsipagtayo sa kanila ng mga mataas na dako sa lahat nilang bayan mula sa moog ng mga bantay hanggang sa bayang nakukutaan. 10At sila'y nangagsipaglagay ng mga haligi na pinakaalaala at mga Asera sa bawa't mataas na burol, at sa ilalim ng lahat na sariwang punong kahoy; 11At doo'y nagsunog sila ng kamangyan sa lahat na mataas na dako, gaya ng ginawa ng mga bansa na pinalayas ng Panginoon sa harap nila; at nagsigawa ng masasamang bagay upang mungkahiin ang Panginoon sa galit; 12At sila'y nagsipaglingkod sa mga diosdiosan, na siyang sa kanila ay sinabi ng Panginoon, Huwag ninyong gagawin ang bagay na ito. 13Gayon ma'y tumutol ang Panginoon sa Israel, at sa Juda, sa pamamagitan ng bawa't propeta, at ng bawa't tagakita, na sinasabi, Iwan ninyo ang inyong masasamang lakad, at ingatan ninyo ang aking mga utos, at ang aking mga palatuntunan, ayon sa buong kautusan na aking iniutos sa inyong mga magulang, at aking ipinadala sa inyo, sa pamamagitan ng aking mga lingkod na mga propeta. 14Gayon ma'y hindi nila dininig, kundi kanilang pinatigas ang kanilang ulo, na gaya ng ulo ng kanilang mga magulang, na hindi nagsisampalataya sa Panginoon nilang Dios. 15At kanilang itinakuwil ang kaniyang mga palatuntunan, at ang kaniyang tipan na kaniyang itinipan sa kanilang mga magulang, at ang kaniyang mga patotoo na kaniyang ipinatotoo sa kanila; at sila'y nagsisunod sa walang kabuluhan, at naging walang kabuluhan, at nagsisunod sa mga bansa na nangasa palibot nila, ayon sa ibinilin ng Panginoon na huwag silang magsigawa ng gaya ng mga yaon. 16At kanilang iniwan ang lahat na utos ng Panginoon nilang Dios, at nagsigawa ng mga larawang binubo, sa makatuwid baga'y ng dalawang guya, at nagsigawa ng isang Asera, at sinamba ang buong natatanaw sa langit, at nagsipaglingkod kay Baal. 17At kanilang pinaraan ang kanilang mga anak na lalake at babae sa apoy, at nagsihilig sa panghuhula at mga panggagaway, at nangapabili upang magsigawa ng masama sa paningin ng Panginoon, upang mungkahiin siya sa galit. 18Kaya't ang Panginoon ay totoong nagalit sa Israel, at inalis sila sa kaniyang paningin: walang naiwan kundi ang lipi ni Juda lamang. 19Hindi rin naman iningatan ng Juda ang mga utos ng Panginoon nilang Dios, kundi nagsilakad sa mga palatuntunan ng Israel na kanilang ginawa. 20At itinakuwil ng Panginoon ang buong binhi ng Israel, at pinighati sila at ibinigay sila sa kamay ng mga mananamsam hanggang sa kaniyang pinalayas sila sa kaniyang paningin. 21Sapagka't kaniyang inihiwalay ang Israel sa sangbahayan ni David, at kanilang ginawang hari si Jeroboam na anak ni Nabat: at pinahiwalay ni Jeroboam ang Israel sa pagsunod sa Panginoon at pinapagkasala sila ng malaking kasalanan. 22At ang mga anak ni Israel ay nagsilakad sa lahat ng kasalanan ni Jeroboam na kaniyang ginawa; hindi nila hiniwalayan; 23Hanggang sa inihiwalay ng Panginoon ang Israel sa kaniyang paningin, gaya ng kaniyang sinalita sa pamamagitan ng lahat niyang lingkod na mga propeta. Gayon dinala ang Israel sa Asiria na mula sa kanilang sariling lupain, hanggang sa araw na ito. 24At ang hari sa Asiria ay nagdala ng mga tao na mula sa Babilonia, at sa Cutha, at sa Ava, at sa Hamath at sa Sepharvaim, at inilagay sila sa mga bayan ng Samaria na kahalili ng mga anak ni Israel: at kanilang inari ang Samaria, at nagsitahan sa mga bayan niyaon. 25At nagkagayon, sa pasimula ng kanilang pagtahan doon, na hindi sila nangatakot sa Panginoon: kaya't ang Panginoon ay nagsugo ng mga leon sa gitna nila, na pinatay ang ilan sa kanila. 26Kaya't kanilang sinalita sa hari sa Asiria, na sinasabi, Ang mga bansa na iyong dinala at inilagay sa mga bayan ng Samaria, hindi nakaaalam ng paraan ng Dios sa lupain; kaya't siya'y nagsugo ng mga leon sa gitna nila, at, narito, pinatay sila, sapagka't hindi sila nakakaalam ng paraan ng Dios sa lupain. 27Nang magkagayo'y nagutos ang hari sa Asiria, na nagsasabi, Dalhin ninyo roon ang isa sa mga saserdote na inyong dinala mula roon; at inyong payaunin at patahanin doon, at turuan niya sila ng paraan ng Dios sa lupain. 28Sa gayo'y isa sa mga saserdote na kanilang dinala mula sa Samaria ay naparoon at tumahan sa Beth-el, at tinuruan sila kung paanong sila'y marapat na matakot sa Panginoon. 29Gayon ma'y bawa't bansa ay gumawa ng mga dios sa kanikaniyang sarili, at ipinaglalagay sa mga bahay sa mga mataas na dako na ginawa ng mga Samaritano, na bawa't bansa ay sa kanilang mga bayan na kanilang tinatahanan. 30At itinayo ng mga lalake sa Babilonia ang Succoth-benoth, at itinayo ng mga lalake sa Cutha ang Nergal, at itinayo ng mga lalake sa Hamath ang Asima, 31At itinayo ng mga Avveo ang Nibhaz at ang Tharthac, at sinunog ng mga Sepharvita ang kanilang mga anak sa apoy sa Adrammelech at sa Anammelech, na mga dios ng Sefarvaim. 32Sa gayo'y nangatakot sila sa Panginoon, at nagsipaghalal sila sa gitna nila ng mga saserdote sa mga mataas na dako, na siyang naghahain para sa kanila sa mga bahay, na nangasa mga mataas na dako. 33Sila'y nangatakot sa Panginoon, at nagsipaglingkod sa kanilang sariling mga dios, ayon sa paraan ng mga bansa na kinadalhang bihag nila. 34Hanggang sa araw na ito ay ginagawa nila ang ayon sa mga dating paraan: sila'y hindi nangatatakot sa Panginoon, o nagsisigawa man ng ayon sa kanilang mga palatuntunan, o ayon sa kanilang mga ayos, o ayon sa kautusan, o ayon sa utos na iniutos ng Panginoon sa mga anak ni Jacob, na kaniyang pinanganlang Israel, 35Na siyang pinakipagtipanan ng Panginoon, at pinagbilinan na sinasabi, Kayo'y huwag mangatatakot sa ibang mga dios, o nagsisiyukod man sa kanila, o magsisipaglingkod man sa kanila, o magsisipaghain man sa kanila: 36Kundi ang Panginoon, na nagahon sa inyo mula sa lupain ng Egipto na may dakilang kapangyarihan at may unat na kamay, siya ninyong katatakutan, at sa kaniya kayo magsisiyukod, at sa kaniya kayo magsisipaghain. 37At ang mga palatuntunan, at ang mga ayos, at ang kautusan, at ang utos na kaniyang sinulat para sa inyo ay inyong isasagawa magpakailan man; at kayo'y huwag mangatatakot sa ibang mga dios: 38At ang tipan na aking ipinakipagtipan sa inyo, huwag ninyong kalilimutan; ni mangatatakot man kayo sa ibang mga dios: 39Nguni't sa Panginoon ninyong Dios ay mangatatakot kayo; at kaniyang ililigtas kayo sa kamay ng lahat ninyong mga kaaway. 40Gayon ma'y hindi nila dininig, kundi kanilang ginawa ang ayon sa kanilang dating paraan. 41Sa gayo'y ang mga bansang ito ay nangatakot sa Panginoon, at nagsipaglingkod sa kanilang mga larawang inanyuan; ang kanilang mga anak ay gayon din, at ang mga anak ng kanilang mga anak, kung ano ang ginawa ng kanilang mga magulang ay gayon ang ginawa nila hanggang sa araw na ito.

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.
