< 2 Kraljevima 17 >

1 Dvanaeste godine kraljevanja Ahaza u Judeji, postao je Hošea, sin Elin, izraelskim kraljem u Samariji. Kraljevao je devet godina.
In the twelfth year of Achaz king of Juda began Osee the son of Ela to reign in Samaria over Israel nine years.
2 On je činio što je zlo u očima Jahvinim, ali ne kao izraelski kraljevi, njegovi prethodnici.
And he did evil in the eyes of the Lord, only not as the kings of Israel that were before him.
3 Asirski kralj Salmanasar pošao je protiv Hošee, koji mu se pokorio i plaćao mu danak.
Against him came up Salamanassar king of the Assyrians; and Osee became his servant, and rendered him tribute.
4 Ali je asirski kralj otkrio da mu Hošea sprema zavjeru: još je Hošea poslao poslanike egipatskom kralju Sou i nije platio danaka asirskom kralju kao svake godine. Tada ga asirski kralj baci u tamnicu.
And the king of the Assyrians found iniquity in Osee, in that he sent messengers to Segor king of Egypt, and brought not a tribute to the king of the Assyrians in that year: and the king of the Assyrians besieged him, and bound him in the prison-house.
5 Asirski kralj osvoji svu zemlju i krenu opsjedati Samariju. Opsjedao ju je tri godine.
And the king of the Assyrians went up against all the land, and went up to Samaria, and besieged it [for] three years.
6 Devete godine Hošeine vladavine zauze asirski kralj Samariju i odvede Izraelce u sužanjstvo u Asiriju. Naselio ih je u Helahu, i na Haboru, rijeci u Gozanu, i u gradovima medijskim.
In the ninth year of Osee the king of the Assyrians took Samaria, and carried Israel away to the Assyrians, and settled them in Alae, and in Abor, [near] the rivers of Gozan, and [in] the mountains of the Medes.
7 I tako se dogodilo zato što su Izraelci sagriješili protiv Jahve, Boga svoga, koji ih je izveo iz zemlje egipatske, ispod vlasti faraona, kralja egipatskog. Štovali su druge bogove,
For it came to pass that the children of Israel [had] transgressed against the Lord their God, who had brought them up out of the land of Egypt, from under the hand of Pharao king of Egypt, and they feared other gods,
8 slijedili običaje naroda što ih je Jahve protjerao pred sinovima Izraelovim, živjeli po običajima što su ih uveli kraljevi Izraelovi.
and walked in the statutes of the nations which the Lord cast out before the face of the children of Israel, and of the kings of Israel as many as did [such things],
9 Izraelci i njihovi kraljevi potajno su činili neprikladna djela protiv Jahve, Boga svoga. Podigli su uzvišice u svim svojim naseljima: od stražarskih kula pa do utvrđenih gradova.
and [in those] of the children of Israel as many as secretly practised customs, not as [they should have done], against the Lord their God:
10 Podizali su stupove i ašere na svakom humku i pod svakim zelenim drvetom.
and they built for themselves high places in all their cities, from the tower of the watchmen to the fortified city. And they made for themselves pillars and groves on every high hill, and under every shady tree.
11 Ondje su, na svim uzvišicama, palili kad po običaju naroda što ih je Jahve protjerao ispred njih i činili su zla djela te izazivali gnjev Jahvin.
And burned incense there on all high places, as the nations [did] whom the Lord removed from before them, and dealt with familiar spirits, and they carved [images] to provoke the Lord to anger.
12 Služili su idolima, premda im Jahve bijaše rekao: “Ne činite toga!”
And they served the idols, of which the Lord said to them, Ye shall not do this thing [against] the Lord.
13 A Jahve opominjaše Izraelce i Judejce preko svih svojih proroka i sviju vidjelaca: “Obratite se od zlog puta svoga”, govorio je, “i pokoravajte se naredbama i zapovijedima mojim prema Zakonu koji sam naložio ocima vašim i prema svemu što sam vam objavio preko slugu svojih - proroka.”
And the Lord testified against Israel and against Juda, even by the hand of all his prophets, [and] of every seer, saying, Turn ye from your evil ways, and keep my commandments and my ordinances, and all the law which I commanded your fathers, [and] all that I sent to them by the hand of my servants the prophets.
14 Ali oni nisu poslušali nego su ostali tvrdovrati kao i njihovi oci, koji nisu vjerovali u Jahvu, Boga svoga.
But they hearkened not, and made their neck harder than the neck of their fathers.
15 Prezreli su njegove zakone i Savez koji je sklopio s njihovim ocima i opomene njegove koje im je upućivao. Težili su za ispraznošću, pa su i sami postali isprazni slijedeći narode oko sebe, premda im je Jahve zapovjedio da ne čine kao oni.
And they kept not any of his testimonies which he charged them; and they walked after vanities, and became vain, and after the nations round about them, concerning which the Lord had charged them not to do accordingly.
16 Odbacili su sve zapovijedi Jahve, Boga svoga, i načinili su sebi salivene idole, dva teleta. Podigli su ašere, klanjali se svoj vojsci nebeskoj i služili Baalu.
They forsook the commandments of the Lord their God, and made themselves graven images, [even] two heifers, and they made groves, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served Baal.
17 Provodili su svoje sinove i kćeri kroz oganj, odavali se vračanju i gatanju, čineći tako zlo u očima Jahvinim i razjarujući ga.
And they caused their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire, and used divinations and auspices, and sold themselves to work wickedness in the sight of the Lord, to provoke him.
18 Tada se Jahve razgnjevi na Izraela i odbaci ga ispred svoga lica. Ostalo je samo pleme Judino.
And the Lord was very angry with Israel, and removed them out of his sight; and there was only left the tribe of Juda quite alone.
19 Ali ni pleme Judino nije držalo zapovijedi Jahve, Boga svoga, i slijedilo je običaje kojih su se držali Izraelci.
Nay even Juda kept not the commandments of the Lord their God, but they walked according to the customs of Israel which they practised, and rejected the Lord.
20 I Jahve odbaci sav rod Izraela, ponizi ga i predade ga pljačkašima, dok ih konačno ne odbaci daleko od svoga lica.
And the Lord was angry with the whole seed of Israel, and troubled them, and gave them into the hand of them that spoiled them, until he cast them out of his presence.
21 On je, konačno, otrgnuo Izraelce od kuće Davidove, a Izrael je proglasio kraljem Jeroboama, sina Nebatova. Jeroboam je odvratio Izraela od Jahve i naveo ih na veliku grehotu.
Forasmuch as Israel revolted from the house of David, and they made Jeroboam the son of Nabat king: and Jeroboam drew off Israel from following the Lord, and led them to sin a great sin.
22 Izraelci su slijedili svaki grijeh koji je Jeroboam počinio i od njega se nisu odvraćali,
And the children of Israel walked in all the sin of Jeroboam which he committed; they departed not from it,
23 dok konačno Jahve nije odbacio Izraela ispred svoga lica, kako to bijaše objavio po svojim slugama, prorocima. Odveo je Izraelce iz njihove zemlje u sužanjstvo u Asiriju, gdje su do današnjega dana.
until the Lord removed Israel from his presence, as the Lord spoke by all his servants the prophets; and Israel was removed from off their land to the Assyrians until this day.
24 Asirski je kralj doveo ljude iz Babilona, iz Kute, iz Ave, Hamata i iz Sefarvajima, i naselio ih u gradovima Samarije mjesto Izraelaca. Oni su zaposjeli Samariju i nastanili se u gradovima njezinim.
And the king of Assyria brought from Babylon the men of Chutha, [and men] from Aia, and from Aemath, and Seppharvaim, and they were settled in the cities of Samaria in the place of the children of Israel: and they inherited Samaria, and were settled in its cities.
25 U vrijeme naseljavanja u zemlju nisu štovali Jahve i on je poslao protiv njih lavove da ih rastrgaju.
And it was so at the beginning of their establishment there [that] they feared not the Lord, and the Lord sent lions among them, and they slew some of them.
26 Zato su rekli asirskom kralju: “Narodi koje si preselio da ih nastaniš u gradovima Samarije ne znaju kako valja štovati Boga ove zemlje i on je na njih poslao lavove, koji ih usmrćuju, jer ti narodi ne poznaju bogoštovlja ove zemlje.”
And they spoke to the king of the Assyrians, saying, The nations whom thou hast removed and substituted in the cities of Samaria [for the Israelites], know not the manner of the God of the land: and he has sent the lions against them, and, behold, they are slaying them, because they know not the manner of the God of the land.
27 Tada je asirski kralj izdao ovu zapovijed: “Neka ide onamo jedan od svećenika koje sam odande doveo u sužanjstvo; neka ide, neka se ondje nastani i pouči ih u štovanju Boga one zemlje.”
And the king of the Assyrians commanded, saying, Bring some [Israelites] thence, and let them go and dwell there, and they shall teach them the manner of the God of the land.
28 Tako ode jedan od svećenika koji su bili odvedeni iz Samarije i nastani se u Betelu. On ih je poučio kako treba štovati Jahvu.
And they brought one of the priests whom they had removed from Samaria, and he settled in Baethel, and taught them how they should fear the Lord.
29 Svaki je narod imao likove svojih bogova i postavili su ih u hramove na uzvišicama koje su podigli Samarijanci, svaki narod u svojim gradovima u kojima življaše.
But the nations made each their own gods, and put them in the house of the high places which the Samaritans [had] made, each nation in the cities in which they dwelt.
30 Babilonci načiniše Sukot Benota, Kušani Nergala, Hamaćani Ašimu;
And the men of Babylon made Socchoth Benith, and the men of Chuth made Ergel, and the men of Haemath made Asimath.
31 Avijci načiniše Nibhaza i Tartaka, a Sefarvajimci spaljivahu svoju djecu na ognju u čast Adrameleka i Anameleka, sefarvajimskih bogova.
And the Evites made Eblazer and Tharthac, and the [inhabitant] of Seppharvaim [did evil] when they burnt their sons in the fire to Adramelech and Anemelech, the gods of Seppharvaim.
32 Oni su štovali i Jahvu i postavili su neke između sebe za svećenike uzvišica koji su im prinosili žrtve u hramovima uzvišica.
And they feared the Lord, yet they established their abominations in the houses of the high places which they made in Samaria, each nation in the city in which they dwelt: and they feared the Lord, and they made for themselves priests of the high places, and sacrificed for themselves in the house of the high places.
33 Štovali su Jahvu i služili su svojim bogovima po običaju onih naroda između kojih su ih preselili.
And they feared the Lord, and served their gods according to the manner of the nations, whence [their lords] brought them.
34 Oni se još i danas drže starih običaja. Ne štuju Jahve i ne usklađuju svojih pravila i običaja sa Zakonom i zapovijedima što ih je Jahve naredio djeci Jakova komu je nadjenuo ime Izrael.
Until this day they did according to their manner: they fear [the Lord], and they do according to their customs, and according to their manner, and according to the law, and according to the commandment which the Lord commanded the sons of Jacob, whose name he made Israel.
35 Jahve bijaše s njima sklopio Savez i zapovjedio im: “Ne štujte tuđih bogova niti im se klanjajte. Nemojte ih štovati niti im žrtava prinositi.
And the Lord made a covenant with them, and charged them, saying, Ye shall not fear other gods, neither shall ye worship them, nor serve them, nor sacrifice to them:
36 Samo je Jahve onaj koji vas je velikom snagom svoje ispružene ruke izveo iz zemlje egipatske; njega štujte, njemu se klanjajte i njemu žrtve prinosite.
but only to the Lord, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt with great strength and with a high arm: him shall ye fear, and him shall ye worship; to him shall ye sacrifice.
37 Držite se pravila i običaja, zakona i naredaba koje vam je propisao da ih vjerno ispunjavate uvijek i ne štujte tuđih bogova.
Ye shall observe continually the ordinances, and the judgments, and the law, and the commandments which he wrote for you to do; and ye shall not fear other gods.
38 Nemojte zaboraviti Saveza koji sam sklopio s vama i nemojte štovati drugih bogova,
Neither shall ye forget the covenant which he made with you: and ye shall not fear other gods.
39 samo Jahvu, Boga svoga, poštujte i on će vas izbaviti iz ruke svih vaših neprijatelja.”
But ye shall fear the Lord your God, and he shall deliver you from all your enemies.
40 Ali oni nisu poslušali, nego su se i dalje držali svoga starog običaja.
Neither shall ye comply with their practice, which they follow.
41 Tako su ti narodi štovali Jahvu, a služili su i svojim idolima. Njihovi sinovi i sinovi njihovih sinova čine do dana današnjega onako kako su činili njihovi oci.
So these nations feared the Lord, and served their graven images: yea, their sons and their son's sons do until this day even as their fathers did.
