2 Kings 17
1 In the twelfth year of Ahaz king of Judah, began Hosea son of Elah to reign in Samaria, over Israel, [and he reigned] nine years.
In yac se aksingoul luo ke pacl Tokosra Ahaz el leum lun Judah, Hoshea wen natul Elah, el tokosrala lun Israel, ac el leum in Samaria ke yac eu.
2 And he did the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, —only, not like the kings of Israel who were before him.
El oru ma koluk lain LEUM GOD, tuh tia arulana yohk oana tokosra su leumi acn Israel meet lukel.
3 Against him, came up Shalmaneser king of Assyria, —and Hoshea became his servant, and rendered him a present.
Tokosra Fulat Shalmaneser lun Assyria el orek mweun lainul, na Hoshea el srasrapo nu sel Shalmaneser ac moli takma nu sel ke yac nukewa.
4 Then found the king of Assyria, in Hosea, a conspiracy, in that he had sent messengers unto So king of Egypt, and had not brought up a 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.
Tuh ke sie yac ah Hoshea el supwala mwet nu yorol Tokosra So lun Egypt in siyuk sel elan kasrel, ac el tia moli takma ke yac sac nu sin Assyria. Ke Shalmaneser el lohngak ma inge, el sap in sruhu Hoshea ac sisiyang el nu in presin.
5 And the king of Assyria came up throughout all the land, —yea he came up to Samaria, and besieged it three years.
Na Shalmaneser el utyak nu fin acn Israel ac kuhlasla acn Samaria. In yac se aktolu ke kuhlusyuki acn we —
6 In the ninth year of Hoshea, did the king of Assyria capture Samaria, and carried Israel away captive to Assyria, —and settled them in Halah, and in Habor by the river of Gozan, and the mountains of Media.
su pa ke yac akeu ma Hoshea el tokosra — Tokosra Fulat lun acn Assyria el sruokya acn Samaria, ac usla mwet Israel nu Assyria in mwet sruoh. El likiya kutu selos in siti Halah, ac kutu in muta yen apkuran nu ke Infacl Habor in acn Gozan, ac kutu ke siti in acn Media.
7 And thus it came to pass that Israel sinned against Yahweh their God, who brought them up out of the land of Egypt, from under the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt, —yea they did reverence to other gods;
Acn Samaria ikori mweyen mwet Israel elos oru ma koluk lain LEUM GOD lalos, su tuh molelosla liki tokosra lun Egypt, ac kololosla liki acn Egypt. Elos alu nu sin god saya,
8 and walked in the statutes of the nations, whom Yahweh had dispossessed from before the sons of Israel, —and [in the statutes] of the kings of Israel, which they had made.
ac fahsr tukun ouiya lun mutunfacl su LEUM GOD El tuh lusla liki acn inge ke mwet lal elos utyak nu we, ac elos moulkin facsin su orekmakinyuk sin tokosra lun Israel.
9 And the sons of Israel did, secretly, things which were not right, against Yahweh their God, —and built for themselves high places in all their cities, from the watchmen’s tower, to the fortified city.
Mwet Israel elos oru ma su LEUM GOD lalos El tia insese nu kac. Elos musaela nien alu pus lun mwet pegan in siti lalos nukewa, acn srik nwe ke siti lulap.
10 And they set up for themselves pillars and Sacred Stems, upon every high hill, and under every green tree;
Elos tulokunak sru eot ac ma sruloala ke god mutan Asherah fin inging nukewa ac ye sak lul nukewa,
11 and burned incense there, in all the high places, like the nations whom Yahweh drave out from before them, —and did things that were wicked, so as to provoke Yahweh to anger;
ac elos akosak mwe keng fin loang nukewa lun mwet pegan, ac etai ouiya lun mutanfahl su LEUM GOD El tuh lusla liki acn inge. Elos akkasrkusrakye LEUM GOD ke orekma koluk lalos nukewa,
12 and they served the manufactured gods, as to which Yahweh had said to them, Ye shall not do this thing.
ac elos tia akos ma LEUM GOD El sapkin nu selos, in tia alu nu ke ma sruloala.
13 And Yahweh testified against Israel and against Judah, through all his prophets—every one who had a vision, saying—Turn ye from your wicked ways, and keep my commandments, my statutes, according to all the law which I commanded your fathers; and which I sent unto you through my servants the prophets.
LEUM GOD El tuh supwala mwet utuk kas ac mwet palu lal in sensenkakin mwet Israel ac mwet Judah, ac fahk nu selos, “Sisla ouiya koluk lowos, ac akos ma nga sapkin su oan in Ma Sap ma nga sang nu sin mwet matu lowos somla, ac su nga sot nu suwos ke pusren mwet palu, mwet kulansap luk.”
14 Howbeit they hearkened not, —but stiffened their neck, like the neck of their fathers, who trusted not in Yahweh their God;
Tuh elos tia akos. Elos likkeke oana mwet matu lalos somla su tia lulalfongi ke LEUM GOD lalos.
15 but rejected his statutes, and his covenant, which he solemnised with their fathers, and his testimonies wherewith he testified against them, —and followed vanity, and became vain, and followed the nations that were round about them, as to whom Yahweh charged them, so that they should not do like them.
Elos tia lungse akos kas in luti lal nu selos, elos tia karinganang wuleang ma El orala yurin mwet matu somla lalos, ac elos pilesru kas in sensenkakin lal. Elos alu nu ke ma sruoala lusrongten, pwanang elos ekla pac mwet lusrongten. Elos oru ouiya lun mutanfahl ma raunelosla, ac seakos ma sap lun LEUM GOD su fahk mu elos in tia etawelos.
16 But they forsook all the commandments of Yahweh their God, and made for themselves something molten—two calves, and made a Sacred Stem, and bowed themselves down to all the army of the heavens, and served Baal;
Elos kunausla nufon ma sap lun LEUM GOD lalos, ac elos orala ma sruloala osra luo ke luman cow mukul tuh elos in alu nu kac. Elos oayapa orala sie ma sruloala ke god mutan Asherah. Elos alu nu ke itu uh, ac kulansap nu sin god Baal.
17 and made their sons and their daughters pass through the fire, and used divinations and enchantments, and sold themselves to do the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, provoking him to wrath.
Elos sang wen ac acn natulos in mwe kisa firir nu sin god lun mwet pegan, ac elos suk kasru sin mwet sramsram nu sin inut ac mwet susfa, ac elos sang insialos nufon in oru ma sesuwos ye mutun LEUM GOD, ac arulana akkasrkusrakyal.
18 So Yahweh shewed himself exceeding angry with Israel, and removed them from his presence, —there was none left, save the tribe of Judah, alone.
Ke ma inge LEUM GOD El kasrkusrak sin mwet Israel ac luselosla liki ye mutal, ac tokosrai lun Judah mukena lula.
19 Even Judah, kept not the commandments of Yahweh their God, —but walked in the statutes of Israel, which they had made.
Tusruktu finne mwet Judah, elos tia pac akos ma sap lun LEUM GOD lalos, ac elos etai facsin ma mwet Israel elos eisla saya.
20 So Yahweh rejected all the seed of Israel, and humiliated them, and delivered them into the hand of spoilers, —until he had cast them out from his presence;
LEUM GOD El ngetla liki mwet nukewa lun Israel ac akkeokyalos, ac eisalosyang nu inpoun mwet lokoalok sulallal, nwe ke El luselosla liki ye mutal.
21 for he rent Israel away from the house of David, and they made Jeroboam son of Nebat, king, —and Jeroboam thrust away Israel from following Yahweh, and caused them to commit a great sin.
Tukun LEUM GOD El srela mwet Israel liki mwet Judah, mwet Israel elos sraklalak Jeroboam wen natul Nebat in tokosra lalos. Jeroboam el oru tuh elos in sisla LEUM GOD, ac el kololosla in oru ma koluk na lulap.
22 And the sons of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam which he had committed, —they turned not away therefrom;
Elos fahsr tokol Jeroboam ac nuna oru na kain in ma koluk nukewa ma el tuh oru,
23 until that Yahweh removed Israel from his presence, according as he spake through all his servants the prophets, —and so Israel was driven away from off their own soil, to Assyria, until this day.
nwe ke na LEUM GOD El luselosla liki ye mutal, oana ke El tuh sensenkakinulos sin mwet kulansap lal, mwet palu, mu El ac oru. Ouinge mwet Israel utukla mwet sruoh nu Assyria, yen elos srakna oasr we.
24 And the king of Assyria brought [men] from Babylon, and from Cuthah, and from Avvah, and from Hamath, and [from] Sepharvaim, and caused them to dwell in the cities of Samaria, instead of the sons of Israel, —so they took possession of Samaria, and dwelt in the cities thereof.
Tokosra Fulat lun Assyria el use mwet in siti Babylon, Cuth, Ivvah, Hamath, ac Sepharvaim, ac oakelosi in siti lun acn Samaria, in aolla mwet Israel su som nu in sruoh. Elos utyak nu in siti inge ac oakwuki we.
25 And so it was, that, when they first dwelt there, they revered not Yahweh, —therefore Yahweh sent among them, lions, which were slaying them.
Ke elos tufahna oakwuki in acn inge elos tia alu nu sin LEUM GOD, ouinge El supwala lion pus ac uniya kutu selos.
26 Therefore spake they unto the king of Assyria, saying, The nations whom thou hast removed and settled in the cities of Samaria, know not the custom of the God of the land, —and he hath sent among them lions, and lo! they are slaying them, because they know not the custom of the God of the land.
Fwackyang nu sin Tokosra Fulat lun Assyria lah mwet el likiya in siti lun acn Samaria elos tia etu ma sap lun god lun facl sac, na pa god sac tuh supwala lion ac onelosi.
27 So the king of Assyria commanded, saying—Carry thither, one of the priests, whom ye brought away captive from thence, that they may go, and dwell there, —and teach them the custom of the God of the land.
Ke ma inge Tokosra Fulat el sapkin: “Supwala sie sin mwet tol ma kut tuh use liki acn we, elan folokla muta we ac luti mwet uh ke ma sap lun god lun facl sac.”
28 Then came one of the priests whom they had carried away captive from Samaria, and dwelt in Bethel, —and he began teaching them how they should do reverence unto Yahweh.
Ouinge sie mwet tol lun Israel su utuku liki acn Samaria el som ac muta Bethel, yen el luti mwet uh in etu ouiyen alu nu sin LEUM GOD.
29 Howbeit the nations severally were making their own gods, —and did put them in the houses of the high places, which, the Samaritans, had made, each several nation, in their cities wherein, they, were dwelling.
Tusruktu mwet su muta Samaria inge elos srakna oru ma sruloala lalos, ac likiya in nien alu su mwet Israel tuh musaela. Kais sie u inge orala ma sruloala in siti ma elos muta we:
30 So then, the men of Babylon, made Succoth-benoth, and, the men of Cuth, made Nergal, and, the men of Hamath, made Ashima:
mwet Babylon elos orala ma sruloala ke god Succoth Benoth, ac mwet Cuth orala ma sruloala ke Nergal, ac mwet Hamath orala ma sruloala ke Ashima,
31 and, the Avvites, made Nibhaz and Tartak, and, the Sepharvites, did consume their sons in the fire, to Adrammelech and Anammelech gods of Sepharvaim.
ac mwet Ivvah orala ma sruloala ke Nibhaz ac Tartak, ac mwet Sepharvaim elos orek kisa firir ke tulik natulos nu sin god Adrammelech ac Anammelech.
32 Thus became they reverers of Yahweh, —and yet made for themselves, from the whole compass of them, priests of high places, who became offerers for them in the house of the high places.
Mwet inge elos oayapa alu nu sin LEUM GOD, ac elos sulela inmasrlon mwet lalos oana sie kain in mwet tuh in mwet tol lalos ke nien alu lun mwet pegan, ac in orek kisa kaclos we.
33 Yahweh, were they revering, —and yet, their own gods, were they serving, according to the custom of the nations from whence they had brought them away captive.
Ouinge elos alu nu sin LEUM GOD, ac elos oayapa alu nu sin god lalos, fal nu ke facsin lun kais sie facl elos tuku we me.
34 Unto this day, are they offering according to the former customs, —they are not revering Yahweh, neither are they offering after their own statutes, or their own custom, nor yet after the law and the commandment which Yahweh commanded the sons of Jacob, whose name he made to be Israel:
Elos srakna oru facsin matu lalos nwe in len inge. Elos tia alu nu sin LEUM GOD, ac elos tia pac akos ma sap ac oakwuk su El tuh sang nu sin fwil natul Jacob, mwet se El sang inel Israel.
35 With, whom, Yahweh solemnised a covenant, and commanded them saying—Ye shall not revere other gods, —nor bow down to them, nor serve them, nor sacrifice to them;
LEUM GOD El tuh orala sie wulela yorolos, ac sapkin nu selos: “Nik kowos alu nu ke god saya. Nikmet epasr nu selos, ku kulansapwalos, ku orek kisa nu selos.
36 But, Yahweh—who brought you up out of the land of Egypt, with great might, and with arm outstretched, him, shall ye revere, —and to him, shall ye bow down, and to him, shall ye sacrifice;
Kowos in akosyu, LEUM GOD, su uskowosme liki acn Egypt ke ku lulap ac po kulana. Kowos in epasr nu sik ac orek kisa nu sik.
37 And, the statutes and the regulations, and the law and the commandment, which he wrote for you, shall ye surely observe to do, continually, —So shall ye not revere other gods;
In pacl nukewa, kowos in akos ma sap ac oakwuk luk ma nga simusla nu suwos. Nik kowos akos kutena god sayuk,
38 But, the covenant which I have solemnised with you, shall ye not forget, —So shall ye not revere other gods;
ac nik kowos mulkunla wuleang su nga tuh orala yuruwos.
39 But, Yahweh your God, shall ye revere, —then will, he, deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies.
Kowos in akosyu, LEUM GOD lowos, ac nga fah molikowosla liki mwet lokoalok lowos.”
40 Howbeit they hearkened not, —but, according to their own former custom, were they offering.
Tusruktu mwet inge tiana porongo ma El fahk, a elos sruokyana facsin matu lalos.
41 Thus were these nations doing reverence unto Yahweh, and yet, unto their own carved images, were they rendering service, —yea, their sons and their son’s sons, as the fathers offered, so are, they, offering until this day.
Ouinge mwet ingo elos alu nu sin LEUM GOD, tusruktu elos alu pacna nu ke ma sruloala lalos, ac fwilin tulik natulos elos srak pacna oru oana mwet matu lalos su somla nwe in pacl inge.
