2 Kings 17
1 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.
V dvanajstem letu Judovega kralja Aháza je v Samariji nad Izraelom začel kraljevati Elájev sin Hošéa [za] devet let.
2 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, yet not as the kings of Israel that were before him.
Počel je to, kar je bilo zlo v Gospodovih očeh, toda ne kakor Izraelovi kralji, ki so bili pred njim.
3 Against him came up Shalmaneser king of Assyria; and Hoshea became his servant, and brought him presents.
Zoper njega je prišel gor asirski kralj Salmanasar in Hošéa je postal njegov služabnik in mu izročil darila.
4 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.
Asirski kralj je pri Hošéu našel zaroto, kajti ta je poslal poslance k egiptovskemu kralju Soju in ni prinesel nobenega darila k asirskemu kralju, kakor je počel leto za letom, zato ga je asirski kralj zaprl in ga zvezal v ječi.
5 Then the king of Assyria came up throughout all the land, and went up to Samaria, and besieged it three years.
Potem je asirski kralj prišel gor skozi vso deželo, se dvignil do Samarije in jo tri leta oblegal.
6 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.
V devetem letu kralja Hošéa, je asirski kralj zavzel Samarijo in Izraela odvedel proč v Asirijo ter jih nastanil v Haláhu in Habórju, pri reki Gozán in v mestih Medijcev.
7 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,
Kajti bilo je tako, da so Izraelovi otroci grešili zoper Gospoda, svojega Boga, ki jih je privedel gor iz egiptovske dežele, izpod roke faraona, egiptovskega kralja in so se bali drugih bogov
8 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;
in hodili po zakonih poganov, ki jih je Gospod pregnal izpred Izraelovih otrok in [po poganskih navadah] Izraelovih kraljev, ki so si jih naredili.
9 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;
Izraelovi otroci so zoper Gospoda, svojega Boga, naskrivaj počeli te stvari, ki niso bile pravilne in si gradili visoke kraje po vseh svojih mestih, od stražarskega stolpa do utrjenega mesta.
10 and they set them up pillars and Asherim upon every high hill, and under every leafy tree;
Postavljali so si podobe in ašere na vsakem visokem hribu in pod vsakim zelenim drevesom
11 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;
in tam zažigali kadilo na vseh visokih krajih, kakor so počeli pogani, ki jih je Gospod odvedel izpred njih in počeli zlobne stvari, da Gospoda izzivajo k jezi,
12 and they served idols, whereof the LORD had said unto them: 'Ye shall not do this thing';
kajti služili so malikom, o katerih jim je Gospod rekel: »Vi ne boste počeli te stvari.«
13 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';
Vendar je Gospod pričeval zoper Izraela in zoper Juda po vseh prerokih in po vseh vidcih, rekoč: »Obrnite se od svojih zlobnih poti in se držite mojih zapovedi in mojih zakonov, glede na vso postavo, ki sem jo zapovedal vašim očetom in ki sem jo poslal k vam po mojih služabnikih prerokih.«
14 notwithstanding they would not hear, but hardened their neck, like to the neck of their fathers, who believed not in the LORD their God;
Vendar niso hoteli poslušati, temveč so otrdili svoje vratove, podobno vratovom svojih očetov, da niso verovali v Gospoda, svojega Boga.
15 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;
Zavrnili so njegove zakone in njegovo zavezo, ki jo je sklenil z njihovimi očeti in njegova pričevanja, ki jih je pričeval zoper njih. Sledili so ničevosti, postali prazni in odšli za pogani, ki so bili naokoli njih, glede katerih jim je Gospod naročil, da naj ne bi počeli kakor oni.
16 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;
Zapustili so vse zapovedi Gospoda, svojega Boga in si naredili ulite podobe, celó dve teleti, naredili ašero, oboževali vso vojsko neba in služili Báalu.
17 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;
Svojim sinovom in svojim hčeram so povzročali, da gredo skozi ogenj in uporabljali so vedeževanje, izrekanje urokov in se prodajali, da počno zlo v Gospodovih očeh, da ga izzivajo do jeze.
18 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.
Zato je bil Gospod zelo jezen nad Izraelom in jih odstranil iz svojega pogleda. Tam ni ostal nihče razen samo Judov rod.
19 Also Judah kept not the commandments of the LORD their God, but walked in the statutes of Israel which they practised.
Tudi Juda se ni držal zapovedi Gospoda, svojega Boga, temveč je hodil po Izraelovih zakonih, ki so jih naredili.
20 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.
Gospod je zavrnil vse Izraelovo seme, jih prizadel in jih izročil v roko plenilcev, dokler jih ni pognal izpred svojega pogleda.
21 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.
Kajti Izraela je odtrgal od Davidove hiše in Nebátovega sina Jerobeáma so postavili za kralja. Jerobeám je Izraela pregnal od sledenja Gospodu in jih primoral, da zagrešijo velik greh.
22 And the children of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam which he did; they departed not from them;
Kajti Izraelovi otroci so hodili v vseh Jerobeámovih grehih, ki jih je ta storil; niso se odvrnili od njih,
23 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.
dokler ni Gospod Izraela odstranil izpred svojega pogleda, kakor je govoril po vseh svojih služabnikih prerokih. Tako je bil Izrael odveden proč iz svoje lastne dežele, v Asirijo, do današnjega dne.
24 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.
Asirski kralj pa je privedel može iz Babilona, iz Kute, iz Avája, iz Hamáta in iz Sefarvájima ter jih namesto Izraelovih otrok postavil v mesta Samarije. Samarijo so vzeli v last in prebivali v njenih mestih.
25 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.
Na začetku njihovega prebivanja je bilo tam tako, da se niso bali Gospoda, zato je Gospod mednje poslal leve, ki so usmrtili nekatere izmed njih.
26 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.'
Zato so asirskemu kralju govorili, rekoč: »Narodi, ki si jih odstranil in postavil v samarijska mesta, ne poznajo sodbe Boga dežele, zato je mednje poslal leve in glej, ti jih pobijajo, ker ne poznajo sodbe Boga dežele.«
27 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.'
Potem je asirski kralj zapovedal, rekoč: »Odvedite tja enega izmed duhovnikov, ki ste jih privedli od tam in naj gredo in prebivajo tam in naj jih nauči sodbe Boga dežele.«
28 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.
Potem je eden izmed duhovnikov, ki so ga odvedli iz Samarije, prišel in prebival v Betelu ter jih učil, kako naj bi se bali Gospoda.
29 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.
Vendar je vsak narod izdelal svoje lastne bogove in jih postavil v hiše visokih krajev, ki so jih naredili Samarijani, vsak narod v svoja mesta, v katerih so prebivali.
30 And the men of Babylon made Succoth-benoth, and the men of Cuth made Nergal, and the men of Hamath made Ashima,
Možje iz Babilona so naredili Sukót Benót, možje iz Kute so naredili Nergála, možje iz Hamáta so naredili Ašimája,
31 and the Avvites made Nibhaz and Tartak, and the Sepharvites burnt their children in the fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech, the gods of Sepharvaim.
Avéjci so naredili Nibháza in Tartáka, Sefarvéjci pa so svoje otroke v ognju sežigali Adramélehu in Anamélehu, sefarvájimskima bogovoma.
32 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.
Tako so se bali Gospoda in si postavili najnižje izmed njih za duhovnike visokih krajev, ki so zanje žrtvovali v hišah visokih krajev.
33 They feared the LORD, and served their own gods, after the manner of the nations from among whom they had been carried away.
Bali so se Gospoda in služili svojim lastnim bogovom po običaju narodov, od katerih so jih odvedli.
34 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;
Do tega dne počnejo po prejšnjih navadah. Ne bojijo se Gospoda niti ne delajo po njihovih zakonih ali po njihovih odredbah ali po postavi in zapovedi, ki jo je Gospod zapovedal Jakobovim otrokom, ki jih je imenoval Izrael,
35 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;
s katerimi je Gospod sklenil zavezo in jim naročil, rekoč: »Vi se ne boste bali drugih bogov, niti se jim ne boste priklanjali, niti jim služili, niti jim žrtvovali,
36 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;
temveč Gospoda, ki vas je privedel gor iz egiptovske dežele z veliko močjo in z iztegnjenim laktom, njega se boste bali in njega boste oboževali in njemu boste žrtvovali.
37 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;
Zakone, predpise, odredbe in zapoved, ki vam jo je zapisal, boste obeleževali, da jih izvajate na vékomaj in ne boste se bali drugih bogov.
38 and the covenant that I have made with you ye shall not forget; neither shall ye fear other gods;
Zaveze, ki sem jo sklenil z vami, ne boste pozabili niti se ne boste bali drugih bogov.
39 but the LORD your God shall ye fear; and He will deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies.'
Temveč se boste bali Gospoda, svojega Boga in on vas bo osvobodil iz roke vseh vaših sovražnikov.«
40 Howbeit they did not hearken, but they did after their former manner.
Vendar niso prisluhnili, temveč so počeli po svoji prejšnji navadi.
41 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.
Tako so se ti narodi bali Gospoda in služili svojim rezanim podobam, tako njihovi otroci in otroci njihovih otrok, kakor so počeli njihovi očetje, tako počnejo do današnjega dne.
