Luo Tokosra 17
1 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.
In the twelfth year of Achaz king of Juda began Osee the son of Ela to reign in Samaria over Israel nine years.
2 El oru ma koluk lain LEUM GOD, tuh tia arulana yohk oana tokosra su leumi acn Israel meet lukel.
And he did evil in the eyes of the Lord, only not as the kings of Israel that were before him.
3 Tokosra Fulat Shalmaneser lun Assyria el orek mweun lainul, na Hoshea el srasrapo nu sel Shalmaneser ac moli takma nu sel ke yac nukewa.
Against him came up Salamanassar king of the Assyrians; and Osee became his servant, and rendered him tribute.
4 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.
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 Na Shalmaneser el utyak nu fin acn Israel ac kuhlasla acn Samaria. In yac se aktolu ke kuhlusyuki acn we —
And the king of the Assyrians went up against all the land, and went up to Samaria, and besieged it [for] three years.
6 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.
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 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,
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 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.
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 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.
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 Elos tulokunak sru eot ac ma sruloala ke god mutan Asherah fin inging nukewa ac ye sak lul nukewa,
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 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,
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 ac elos tia akos ma LEUM GOD El sapkin nu selos, in tia alu nu ke ma sruloala.
And they served the idols, of which the Lord said to them, Ye shall not do this thing [against] the Lord.
13 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.”
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 Tuh elos tia akos. Elos likkeke oana mwet matu lalos somla su tia lulalfongi ke LEUM GOD lalos.
But they hearkened not, and made their neck harder than the neck of their fathers.
15 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 Ke ma inge LEUM GOD El kasrkusrak sin mwet Israel ac luselosla liki ye mutal, ac tokosrai lun Judah mukena lula.
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 Tusruktu finne mwet Judah, elos tia pac akos ma sap lun LEUM GOD lalos, ac elos etai facsin ma mwet Israel elos eisla saya.
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 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.
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 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.
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 Elos fahsr tokol Jeroboam ac nuna oru na kain in ma koluk nukewa ma el tuh oru,
And the children of Israel walked in all the sin of Jeroboam which he committed; they departed not from it,
23 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.
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 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.
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 Ke elos tufahna oakwuki in acn inge elos tia alu nu sin LEUM GOD, ouinge El supwala lion pus ac uniya kutu selos.
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 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.
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 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.”
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 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.
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 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:
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 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,
And the men of Babylon made Socchoth Benith, and the men of Chuth made Ergel, and the men of Haemath made Asimath.
31 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.
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 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.
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 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.
And they feared the Lord, and served their gods according to the manner of the nations, whence [their lords] brought them.
34 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 In pacl nukewa, kowos in akos ma sap ac oakwuk luk ma nga simusla nu suwos. Nik kowos akos kutena god sayuk,
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 ac nik kowos mulkunla wuleang su nga tuh orala yuruwos.
Neither shall ye forget the covenant which he made with you: and ye shall not fear other gods.
39 Kowos in akosyu, LEUM GOD lowos, ac nga fah molikowosla liki mwet lokoalok lowos.”
But ye shall fear the Lord your God, and he shall deliver you from all your enemies.
40 Tusruktu mwet inge tiana porongo ma El fahk, a elos sruokyana facsin matu lalos.
Neither shall ye comply with their practice, which they follow.
41 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.
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.
