2 Kings 17
1 Elah’s son Hoshea began to rule Israel after King Ahaz had ruled Judah for twelve years. Hoshea ruled in Samaria for nine years.
Iti maika-sangapulo ket dua a tawen a panagturay ni Ahaz nga ari ti Juda, nangrugi met ti panagturay ni Oseas nga anak ni Ela. Nagturay isuna idiay Samaria iti entero nga Israel iti siam a tawen.
2 He did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil, but he did not do as many evil things as the previous kings of Israel had done.
Inaramidna ti dakes iti imatang ni Yahweh, ngem saan a kas kadagiti inaramid dagiti ar-ari ti Israel nga immun-una kenkuana.
3 [The army of] King Shalmaneser of Assyria attacked and defeated [the army of] King Hoshea. As a result, the Israelis were forced to pay a lot of tribute/taxes to Assyria each year.
Rinaut isuna ni Salmaneser nga ari ti Asiria, ket nagbalin ni Oseas nga adipenna ken nagbayad kenkuana ti buis.
4 But several years later, Hoshea secretly planned to rebel against the rulers of Assyria. He sent messengers to So/Osorkon, the king of Egypt, [asking if his army could help the Israelis fight against the army of Assyria]. Hoshea also stopped paying the tribute/taxes that he had been paying to Assyria every year. But the king of Assyria found out about those things, so he told his officers to put Hoshea in prison.
Kalpasanna, naammoan ti ari ti Asiria nga agpangpanggep ni Oseas ti dakes a maibusor kenkuana, ta nangibaon ni Oseas kadagiti mensahero kenni So nga ari ti Egipto; kasta met a, saanen isuna a nagbayad iti buis iti ari ti Asiria, a kas iti inar-aramidna iti tinawen. Isu a tiniliw isuna ti ari ti Asiria ket imbaludna iti pagbaludan.
5 Then he [brought the army of] Assyria to Israel, and they attacked everywhere in that land. His army surrounded Samaria [city] for three years.
Rinaut ti ari ti Asiria ti entero a daga, ken rinautda ti Samaria ket linawlawda daytoy iti tallo a tawen.
6 Finally, after King Hoshea had been ruling Israel for nine years, the army of Assyria [MTY] [forcefully entered] the city [and] captured [the people]. They took the Israeli people to Assyria and forced some of them to live in Halah [town]. They forced others to live near the Habor River in Gozan district. They forced others to live in the towns where the Mede people-group lived.
Iti maika-siam a tawen a panagturay ni Oseas, inagaw ti ari ti Asiria ti Samaria ket impanawda ti Israel nga impan idiay Asiria. Pinagnaedda ida idiay Hala, iti Karayan Habor ti Gozan, ken kadagiti siudad ti Media.
7 Those things happened because the Israeli people had sinned against Yahweh their God. He had rescued their [ancestors] from the power [MTY] of the king of Egypt and brought them [safely] out of Egypt, but later they began to worship other gods.
Napasamak daytoy a pannakatiliw gapu ta nagbasol dagiti tattao ti Israel kenni Yahweh a Diosda, a nangirruar kadakuada manipud iti daga ti Egipto, manipud iti bileg ti Faraon nga ari ti Egipto. Nagdaydayaw dagiti tattao kadagiti dadduma a dios
8 They imitated the things that the heathen/pagan people-groups did. Those were the groups that Yahweh had expelled as the Israelis occupied their land. The Israeli people also did the evil things that the kings of Israel (introduced/showed to them).
ken nagnagnada kadagiti sursuro dagiti nasion a pinapanaw idi ni Yahweh sakbay kadagiti tattao ti Israel, ken kadagiti sursuro dagiti ar-ari ti Israel nga inaramidda.
9 The Israeli people also secretly did many things that were not pleasing to Yahweh their God. They built shrines [to worship idols] in all their cities, including small towns and big cities with walls around them.
Sililimed nga inaramid dagiti tattao ti Israel dagiti saan a rumbeng a banbanag a maibusor kenni Yahweh a Diosda. Nagipatakderda kadagiti disso a pagdaydayawan kadagiti amin a siudadda, manipud kadagiti tore dagiti agbanbantay agingga iti natalged a siudad.
10 They set up stone pillars [to honor gods], and poles [to worship the goddess] Asherah at the top of every high hill and under every [big] tree.
Nangipatakderda pay kadagiti nasagradoan nga adigi a bato ken kadagiti imahen ni Asera iti tunggal nangato a turod ken iti sirok iti tunggal narukbos a kayo.
11 The Israelis burned incense in every place where they worshiped those gods, just like the people-groups who lived there previously had done—the groups that Yahweh had expelled from the land. The Israelis did many wicked things that caused Yahweh to become angry.
Sadiay, nagpuorda kadagiti insenso kadagiti amin a disso a pagdaydayawan, a kas iti inar-aramid dagiti nasion, dagidiay pinapanaw ni Yahweh sakbay kadakuada. Nagaramid dagiti Israelita kadagiti dinadangkes a banbanag a nangpapungtot kenni Yahweh;
12 Yahweh warned them many times that they should not worship idols, but they did it anyway.
nagrukbabda kadagiti didiosen, maipapan ti kinuna ni Yahweh kadakuada, “Saanyo nga aramiden daytoy a banag.”
13 Yahweh frequently sent his prophets and (seers/those who saw visions from Yahweh) to warn the people of Israel and the people of Judah. The message that Yahweh gave them was, “Turn away from all your evil behavior. Obey my commands and my laws, the laws that I told your ancestors [to obey] and which I told the prophets who served me to tell to you [again].”
No pay kasta, impaduyakyak ni Yahweh iti Israel ken iti Juda babaen iti tunggal propeta ken tunggal agwanwanawan a kinunana, “Tallikudanyo dagiti dakes a wagasyo ket tungpalenyo dagiti bilbilinko ken alagadek, ket agannadkayo iti panangtungpalyo kadagiti amin a linteg nga imbilinko kadagiti ammayo, nga impatulodko kadakayo babaen kadagiti adipenko a propeta.”
14 But the Israeli people would not pay attention. They were stubborn [IDM] just like their ancestors were. Just like their ancestors did, they refused to believe in Yahweh their God.
Ngem saanda a dimngeg; ngem ketdi, nasukirda unay a kas kadagiti ammada a saan a nagtalek kenni Yahweh a Diosda.
15 They rejected Yahweh’s laws and the agreement that he had made with their ancestors. They ignored Yahweh’s warnings. They worshiped worthless idols and as a result they themselves became worthless. Although Yahweh had commanded them not to imitate the evil behavior of the people-groups that lived near them, they disobeyed that command.
Linaksidda dagiti alagadenna ken ti tulag nga inaramidna kadagiti kapuonanda, ken ti pammaneknekna iti tulagna nga intedna kadakuada. Tinuladda dagiti awan kaes-eskanna a sursuro ket nagbalinda nga awan kaes-ekanna. Sinurotda dagiti pagano a nasion nga adda iti aglawlawda, dagidiay imbilin ni Yahweh kadakuada a saanda a tultuladen.
16 The Israeli people disobeyed all of Yahweh’s commands. They made two metal calves [to worship]. They set up two poles [to worship the goddess] Asherah, and they worshiped [the god] Baal, and the sun, the moon, and the stars.
Saanda nga ingkaskaso dagiti amin a bilbilin ni Yahweh a Diosda. Nangsukogda kadagiti landok nga imahen ti dua a baka a pagrukbabanda. Nangaramidda ti imahen ni Asera, ken nagrukbabda kadagiti amin a bituen dagiti langlangit ken ni Baal.
17 They also burned their own sons and daughters to be sacrifices [to those gods]. They went to fortune-tellers and they practiced sorcery. They continually chose [MET] to do [all kinds of] evil things that caused Yahweh to become angry.
Inddatonda dagiti annakda a lallaki ken babbai a kas daton a mapuoran, nagpadtoda ken nag-orasionda, inlakoda dagiti bagbagida tapno agaramidda iti dakes iti imatang ni Yahweh, ket pinagpungtotda isuna.
18 So, because Yahweh was very angry with the Israeli people, he allowed [their enemies] to take them away [from their country]. Only the people of the tribe of Judah were left [in the land].
Ngarud, nakapungtot iti kasta unay ni Yahweh iti Israel ket inikkatna ida iti imatangna. Awan ti uray maysa a nabati ngem ti tribu laeng iti Juda.
19 But even the people of Judah did not obey the commands of Yahweh their God. They imitated the evil customs that the Israelis had introduced.
Uray pay ti Juda ket saanda a tinungpal dagiti bilbilin ni Yahweh a Diosda, ngem ketdi, sinursurotda dagiti ar-aramiden dagiti pagano a sursuro a sursuroten idi ti Israel.
20 So Yahweh rejected all the people of Israel and of Judah. He punished them by allowing the armies of other nations to defeat them [and take them away]. He got rid of all of them.
Isu a linaksid ni Yahweh dagiti amin a kaputotan ti Israel; pinagrigatna ida ket impaimana ida kadagiti nangagaw kadagiti sanikuada, agingga a pinukawna ida iti imatangna.
21 Earlier, when Yahweh allowed the people of Israel to separate/break away from the area [MTY] that King David [had estabished], they chose Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, to be their king. Then Jeroboam enticed the people of Israel to stop worshiping Yahweh [and to worship idols instead]. He led them to commit great sins.
Inikkatna ti Israel manipud iti panagturay a puli ni David, ket pinagbalinda nga ari ni Jeroboam nga anak ni Nebat. Ni Jeroboam ti nangiyadayo ti Israel manipud iti panangsurotda kenni Yahweh ken nangisungsong kadakuada nga agaramid iti nadagsen a basol.
22 And the Israeli people continued to do the evil things that Jeroboam introduced. They did not turn away from those sins,
Sinurot dagiti tattao ti Israel dagiti amin a basol ni Jeroboam ket saanda a simmina manipud kadagitoy,
23 until finally Yahweh got rid of them. That was just what his prophets had warned would happen. The Israeli people were taken away to the land of Assyria, and they still remain there.
isu nga inikkat ida ni Yahweh ti Israel manipud iti imatangna, kas kinunana nga aramidenna babaen kadagiti amin nga adipenna a propeta. Isu a napapanaw ti Israel manipud iti bukodda a daga ket naipanda idiay Asiria, ket agingga iti agdama nga aldaw, addada pay laeng sadiay.
24 The king of Assyria [ordered his soldiers to] take [groups of] people from Babylon, Cuthah, Avva, Hamath, and Sepharvaim [cities] to [the] Samaria [region], and to resettle them in the towns there, to take the place of the Israelis [who lived there previously]. Those people took control over [the whole] Samaria [region] and lived in the towns there.
Nangipan ti ari ti Asiria kadagiti tattao manipud ti Babilonia, Cut, Avva, Hamat ken Sefarvaim ket pinagnaedna ida kadagiti siudad ti Samaria a kasukat dagiti tattao ti Israel. Tinagikuada ti Samaria ket nagnaedda kadagiti siudad daytoy.
25 But those people [who came from other countries] did not worship Yahweh when they first arrived in Samaria. So Yahweh sent lions to kill some of them.
Napasamak daytoy iti rugi ti panagnaedda sadiay a saanda a dinayaw ni Yahweh. Isu a nangibaon ni Yahweh kadagiti leon a nangpapatay iti sumagmamano kadakuada.
26 Then those people sent a message to the king of Assyria. They wrote, “We people who have resettled in the towns in Samaria do not know how to worship the God [that the Israelis worshiped] in this land. So he has sent lions among us to kill us, because we have not worshiped him correctly.”
Isu a nakisaritada iti ari ti Asiria ket kinunada, “Saan nga ammo dagiti nasion nga impanawmo kalpasanna inkabilmo kadagiti siudad ti Samaria, dagiti sursuro a masapul ti dios iti daytoy a daga. Isu a nangibaon kadagiti leon kadakuada, ket kitaem, pappapatayen dagiti leon dagiti tattao sadiay gapu ta saanda nga ammo dagiti sursuro a masapul ti dios iti daytoy a daga.”
27 [When] the king of Assyria [read this letter, he] commanded [his officers], “You brought many priests here from Samaria. Send one of them back there. Tell him to teach the people who are now living there how to worship correctly the God whom the Israelis worshiped in that land.”
Imbilin ti ari ti Asiria ket kinunana, “Mangalakayo iti maysa kadagiti papadi nga innalayo sadiay, ket ibaonyo ket pagnaedenyo isuna sadiay, ket ipaisuroyo kenkuana kadakuada dagiti sursuro a masapul ti dios iti daytoy a daga.”
28 So [the officers did that]. They sent one of the Israeli priests back to Samaria. That priest went to live in Bethel [city], and he taught the people there how to worship Yahweh.
Isu a napan ti maysa kadagiti papadi a naitalaw manipud idiay Samaria ket nagnaed idiay Betel; insurona kadakuada no kasano ti rumbeng a panagdayawda kenni Yahweh.
29 But the people [who returned from Babylon and started to live in Samaria and] continued to make their own idols. They placed them in the shrines that the Israelis had built there. The people of each people-group made idols in the cities in which they were living.
Nagaramid ti tunggal bunggoy ti tribu kadagiti diosda, ket inkabilda ida kadagiti disso a pagdaydayawan nga inaramid dagiti Samaritano - iti tunggal bunggoy ti tribu kadagiti siudad a nagnaedanda.
30 The people from Babylon made idols to represent their god Succoth-Benoth. The people from Cuthah made idols to represent their god Nergal. The people from Hamath made idols to represent their god Ashima.
Inaramid dagiti tattao ti Babilonia ti Succot Benot; inaramid dagiti tattao ti Cut ti Nergal, inaramid dagiti tattao ti Hamat ti Asima;
31 The people of Avva made idols to represent their gods Nibhaz and Tartak. The people from Sepharvaim sacrificed their own children. They completely burned them [in pits where hot fires were kept burning, ] as offerings to their gods Adrammelech and Anammelech.
inaramid dagiti Awita ti Nibhaz ken Tartak; ken pinuoran dagiti Sefarvita dagiti annakda kas datonda kada Adramelek ken Anamelek, dagiti dios dagiti Sefravita.
32 But those people also worshiped Yahweh, and they appointed from among their own groups many people to be priests at the shrines on the tops of the hills, in order that those priests could offer sacrifices for them there.
Dinayawda met ni Yahweh, ket nangdutokda manipud kadakuada kadagiti papadi kadagiti nangato a disso, a nagidaton para kadakuada kadagiti disso a pagdaydayawan kadagiti templo.
33 So they revered Yahweh, but they also worshiped their own gods, just as the people living in the countries from which they had been taken to Samaria did.
Dinayawda ni Yahweh ken nagrukbabda pay kadagiti diosda, kadagiti kaugalian dagiti nasion manipud kadagiti nakaipanawanda.
34 They still keep their old customs. They really do not worship Yahweh, and they do not obey all the laws and commands that Yahweh gave to the descendants of Jacob, to whom he gave the new name Israel.
Agingga kadagitoy nga al-aldaw, itultuloyda pay laeng dagiti kadaanan a kaugalianda. Saanda a daydayawen ni Yahweh, wenno tungtungpalen dagiti pagalagadan, paglintegan, ti linteg, wenno dagiti bilbilin ni Yahweh nga intedna kadagiti tattao ni Jacob - a pinanagananna ti Israel-
35 Yahweh had previously made an agreement with their ancestors, commanding them not to worship other gods or bow down to honor them or do other things to please them or offer sacrifices to them.
a nakitulagan ni Yahweh ket binilinna ida, “Saankayo nga agbuteng kadagiti didiosen, wenno agkurno kadakuada, agrukbab kadakuada, wenno agidaton kadakuada.
36 He had said to them, “You must have an awesome respect for me, Yahweh, the one who brought you out of Egypt with my very great power [DOU]. I am the one whom you must bow down to honor, and I am the one to whom you must offer sacrifices.
Ngem ni Yahweh a nangipanaw kadakayo manipud iti daga ti Egipto nga addaan iti naindaklan a pannakabalin ken bileg, ket isuna ti masapul a dayawenyo; isuna laeng iti pagkurnoanyo, ken isuna ti pagidatonanyo.
37 You must always obey the laws and commands that I [told Moses to] write for you. You must not worship other gods.
Tungpalenyo iti agnanayon dagiti pagalagadan ken dagiti paglintegan, dagiti linteg ken bilbilin nga insuratna para kadakayo. Isu a saan a rumbeng nga agbutengkayo kadagiti sabali a dios,
38 And you must not forget the agreement that I made with your ancestors. You must not revere other gods.
ken saanyo a liplipatan ti katulagak kadakayo; wenno dayawen dagiti sabali a dios.
39 Instead, you must revere me, Yahweh, your God. If you do that, I will rescue you from the power [MTY] of all your enemies.”
Ngem ni Yahweh a Diosyo ti dayawenyo. Ispalennakayto manipud iti bileg dagiti kabusoryo.”
40 But the people [from those foreign nations] would not heed what Yahweh said. Instead, they continued to adhere to their old customs.
Saanda a dimngeg, gapu ta intultuloyda ti agaramid kadagiti inaramidda iti naglabas.
41 So, they worshiped Yahweh, but they also worshiped their idols. And their descendants still do the same thing.
Isu a nagbuteng dagitoy a nasion kenni Yahweh ken nagrukbabda met kadagiti kinitikitanda nga imahen, ken kasta met laeng ti inaramid dagiti annakda - a kas met ti inaramid dagiti annak dagiti annakda. Itultuloyda nga ar-aramiden dagiti inaramid dagiti kapuonanda agingga iti daytoy nga aldaw.
