2 Kings 17
1 In the twelfth year of Ahaz king of Judah, Hoshea the son of Elah began to reign in Samaria over Israel for nine years.
Judah manghai Ahaz kah kum hlai nit vaengah Elah capa Hosea loh Samaria ah Israel kum ko a manghai thil.
2 He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, yet not as the kings of Israel who were before him.
BOEIPA mikhmuh ah boethae a saii dae anih hmai kah Israel manghai aka om rhoek bangla om pawh.
3 Shalmaneser king of Assyria came up against him; and Hoshea became his servant, and brought him tribute.
Assyria manghai Shalmaneser loh Hosea te a caeh thil vaengah tah Assyria manghai kah sal la vik om tih a taengah khocang a mael.
4 The king of Assyria discovered a conspiracy in Hoshea; for he had sent messengers to So king of Egypt, and offered no tribute to the king of Assyria, as he had done year by year. Therefore the king of Assyria seized him, and bound him in prison.
Tedae Assyria manghai loh Hosea te lairhui la a hmuh. Egypt manghai So taengla puencawn a tueih tih a kum, kum ah Assyria manghai ham khocang thak pah voel pawh. Te dongah Assyria manghai loh anih te atlaeng tih thongim ah a khoh.
5 Then the king of Assyria came up throughout all the land, went up to Samaria, and besieged it three years.
Assyria manghai te khohmuen tom la cet tih Samaria a pha vaengah tah khoupuei te kum thum a dum.
6 In the ninth year of Hoshea the king of Assyria took Samaria and carried Israel away to Assyria, and placed them in Halah, and on the Habor, the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes.
Hosea kah a kum ko dongah tah Assyria manghai loh Samaria te a loh tih Israel te Assyria la a poelyoe. Te phoeiah amih te Halah kah Gozan tuiva Habor neh Madai khopuei rhoek ah kho a sak sak.
7 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,
Egypt manghai Pharaoh kut hmui lamkah neh Egypt khohmuen lamloh amih aka caeh puei a Pathen Yahweh taengah Israel ca rhoek tholh uh tih pathen tloe te a rhih uh dongah ni he he a thoeng.
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 made.
Namtom kah khosing bangla pongpa uh pueng. Te rhoek te BOEIPA loh Israel ca rhoek mikhmuh lamkah a haek coeng dae Israel manghai rhoek loh koep a pak uh.
9 The children of Israel secretly did things that were not right against the LORD their God; and they built high places for themselves in all their cities, from the tower of the watchmen to the fortified city;
Olka dongah Israel ca rhoek a hawn uh dongah a Pathen BOEIPA taengah thuem uh pawt tangkhuet. Te dongah aka rhalrhing kah rhaltoengim lamloh khopuei hmuencak hil, a khopuei tom ah amamih ham hmuensang a thoh uh.
10 and they set up for themselves pillars and Asherah poles on every high hill and under every green tree;
Amih ham kaam neh Asherah te som sang boeih neh thing hing tom kah hmui ah a ling uh.
11 and there they burnt incense in all the high places, as the nations whom the LORD carried away before them did; and they did wicked things to provoke the LORD to anger;
Namtom rhoek bangla hmuensang tom ah hnap a phum uh. Te rhoek te BOEIPA loh amih mikhmuh lamkah a poelyoe coeng dae BOEIPA te veet hamla boethae hno a saii uh.
12 and they served idols, of which the LORD had said to them, “You shall not do this thing.”
BOEIPA loh amih taengah hebang hno he saii pawt ham a thui pah lalah mueirhol te tho a thueng thiluh.
13 Yet the LORD testified to Israel and to Judah, by every prophet and every seer, saying, “Turn 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 my servants the prophets.”
BOEIPA loh Israel neh Judah te tonghma boeih kah tonghma neh khohmu boeih kah kut lamloh a rhalrhing sak tih, “Nangmih kah longpuei thae lamloh mael uh laeh, a cungkuem dongah na pa rhoek ka uen olkhueng bangla ka olpaek neh ka khosing he tuem uh. Te te ka sal rhoek, tonghma rhoek kut lamloh nangmih taengah kam pat coeng,” a ti.
14 Notwithstanding, they would not listen, but hardened their neck like the neck of their fathers who didn’t believe in the LORD their God.
Tedae hnatun uh pawt tih a Pathen BOEIPA aka tangnah pawh a napa rhoek kah a rhawn bangla a rhawn te a siing uh.
15 They rejected his statutes and his covenant that he made with their fathers, and his testimonies which he testified to them; and they followed vanity, and became vain, and followed the nations that were around them, concerning whom the LORD had commanded them that they should not do like them.
A a oltlueh neh a paipi te a hnawt uh. Te te a napa rhoek taengah a saii tih a olphong neh amih te a rhalrhing sak. Tedae a honghi hnukah pongpa uh tih hoemdawk uh. A kaepvai kah namtom rhoek hnukah amih bangla saii pawt ham BOEIPA loh amih a uen.
16 They abandoned all the commandments of the LORD their God, and made molten images for themselves, even two calves, and made an Asherah, and worshipped all the army of the sky, and served Baal.
A Pathen BOEIPA kah olpaek cungkuem te a hnoo uh tih amamih ham mueihlawn vaitoca rhoi panit a saii uh. Asherah a saii phoeiah vaan caempuei cungkuem te a bakop thil uh tih Baal taengah tho a thueng uh.
17 They caused their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire, used divination and enchantments, and sold themselves to do that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, to provoke him to anger.
A capa khaw, a canu khaw hmai khuila a kat sakuh. Bihma a bi uh tih lung a sawt uh. BOEIPA te veet ham neh a mikhmuh ah boethae saii ham yoi uh thae.
18 Therefore the LORD was very angry with Israel, and removed them out of his sight. There was none left but the tribe of Judah only.
Te dongah BOEIPA he Israel taengah bahoeng a thintoek tih amih te a mikhmuh lamloh a khoe. Te vaengah Judah koca amah bueng phoeiah tah pakhat khaw hlun pawh.
19 Also Judah didn’t keep the commandments of the LORD their God, but walked in the statutes of Israel which they made.
Judah pataeng a Pathen BOEIPA kah olpaek te tuem pawt tih Israel kah a pak khosing dongah pongpa uh.
20 The LORD rejected all the offspring of Israel, afflicted them, and delivered them into the hands of raiders, until he had cast them out of his sight.
Te dongah BOEIPA loh Israel kah tiingan boeih te a hnawt tih amih te a phaep. Amih te a mikhmuh lamloh a voeih duela aka tukvat rhoek kah kut dongah a tloeng.
21 For he tore Israel from David’s house; and they made Jeroboam the son of Nebat king; and Jeroboam drove Israel from following the LORD, and made them sin a great sin.
Israel te David imkhui lamloh a phen tih Nebat capa Jeroboam te a manghai sak. Jeroboam loh Israel te BOEIPA taeng lamloh a rhoe tih a heh dongah amih te tholh a len neh a tholh sak.
22 The children of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam which he did; they didn’t depart from them
Israel ca rhoek he Jeroboam kah a saii tholhnah cungkuem dongah pongpa uh tih te lamloh a nong uh moenih.
23 until the LORD removed Israel out of his sight, as he said by all his servants the prophets. So Israel was carried away out of their own land to Assyria to this day.
A sal tonghma boeih kah kut ah a thui bangla BOEIPA loh Israel te a mikhmuh lamloh a khoe. Te dongah ni tahae khohnin hil Israel te amah khohmuen lamloh Assyria la a poelyoe.
24 The king of Assyria brought people from Babylon, from Cuthah, 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 lived in its cities.
Te vaengah Assyria manghai loh Babylon lamkah neh Kuthah lamkah khaw, Ivvah lamkah neh Khamath lamkah khaw, Sepharvaim lamkah khaw a khuen tih Israel ca rhoek yueng la Samaria khopuei rhoek ah kho a sak sak. Te dongah Samaria te a huul uh tih a khopuei ah kho a sak uh.
25 So it was, at the beginning of their dwelling there, that they didn’t fear the LORD. Therefore the LORD sent lions amongst them, which killed some of them.
Amih kah khosak a tong van neh BOEIPA te hnap rhih uh pawh. Te dongah BOEIPA loh amih taengah sathueng a hlah pah tih amih aka ngawn la om.
26 Therefore they spoke to the king of Assyria, saying, “The nations which you have carried away and placed in the cities of Samaria don’t know the law of the god of the land. Therefore he has sent lions amongst them; and behold, they kill them, because they don’t know the law of the god of the land.”
Te vaengah Assyria manghai taengla puen uh tih, “Na poelyoe tih Samaria khopuei ah kho na sak sak namtom tah khohmuen Pathen kah laitloeknah te ming uh pawh. Khohmuen Pathen kah laitloeknah te a ming uh pawt dongah amih taengah sathueng a hlah pah tih amih a duek sak coeng he,” a ti nah.
27 Then the king of Assyria commanded, saying, “Carry there one of the priests whom you brought from there; and let him go and dwell there, and let him teach them the law of the god of the land.”
Te dongah Assyria manghai loh a uen tih, “A poelyoe khosoih khuiah pakhat tah te lam te thak laeh. Cet tih kho a sak pahoi daengah ni khohmuen Pathen kah laitloeknah te amih a thuinuet eh?,” a ti nah.
28 So one of the priests whom they had carried away from Samaria came and lived in Bethel, and taught them how they should fear the LORD.
Te dongah Samaria lamkah a poelyoe khosoih rhoek khuiah pakhat tah mael. Bethel ah kho a sak tih BOEIPA metla rhih ham khaw amih te a thuinuet.
29 However 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 in which they lived.
Tedae amah namtu, namtu ah pathen tah a saii uh tih Samaria kah a saii hmuensang im ah a khueh uh. Amih te amah namtu, namtu neh khopuei ah kho a sak uh.
30 The men of Babylon made Succoth Benoth, and the men of Cuth made Nergal, and the men of Hamath made Ashima,
Babylon hlang rhoek loh Succothbenoth te a sak tih Kuthah hlang loh Nergal te a sak. Khamath hlang rhoek loh Ashima te a sak van.
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.
Avvii loh Nibbaz neh Tartak te a saii tih Sepharvi loh Sepharvaim kah pathen Adrammelech neh Anamelek ham a ca rhoek te hmai ah a hoeh uh.
32 So they feared the LORD, and also made from amongst themselves priests of the high places for themselves, who sacrificed for them in the houses of the high places.
BOEIPA aka rhih la om uh dae amih kah a hmatoeng lamloh hmuensang khosoih a khueh uh tih amih ham hmuensang im ah aka nawn rhung la om uh.
33 They feared the LORD, and also served their own gods, after the ways of the nations from amongst whom they had been carried away.
BOEIPA aka rhih la om uh cakhaw namtom rhoek kah khosing bangla amah pathen taengah tho aka thueng la om uh. Te lamlong ni amih te a poelyoe.
34 To this day they do what they did before. They don’t fear the LORD, and they do not follow the statutes, or the ordinances, or the law, or the commandment which the LORD commanded the children of Jacob, whom he named Israel;
Tahae khohnin hil amih he hnukbuet kah khosing bangla a saii uh tih amih loh BOEIPA te rhih uh pawh. Israel ming a phuk thil Jakob kah koca rhoek loh BOEIPA kah a uen bangla a khosing neh a laitloeknah khaw, olkhueng neh olpaek te khaw a vai uh moenih.
35 with whom the LORD had made a covenant and commanded them, saying, “You shall not fear other gods, nor bow yourselves to them, nor serve them, nor sacrifice to them;
BOEIPA loh amih taengah paipi a saii tih amih a uen vaengah, “Pathen tloe te rhih uh boeh, amih taengah bakop boeh, amih te thothueng pah boeh, amih taengah nawn uh boeh.
36 but you shall fear the LORD, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt with great power and with an outstretched arm, and you shall bow yourselves to him, and you shall sacrifice to him.
BOEIPA bueng long ni thadueng len neh a ban a yueng tih nangmih te Egypt kho lamloh n'khuen. Amah te rhih uh lamtah amah taengah bakop uh, amah taengah tah nawn uh.
37 The statutes and the ordinances, and the law and the commandment which he wrote for you, you shall observe to do forever more. You shall not fear other gods.
Nangmih ham a daek oltlueh neh laitloeknah te khaw, olkhueng neh olpaek te khaw khohnin takuem vai hamla ngaithuen uh lamtah a tloe pathen rhoek te rhih uh boeh.
38 You shall not forget the covenant that I have made with you. You shall not fear other gods.
Nangmih taengah paipi ka saii te hnilh uh boel lamtah a tloe pathen rhoek te rhih uh boeh.
39 But you shall fear the LORD your God, and he will deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies.”
Nangmih kah Pathen BOEIPA bueng te rhih uh. Te daengah ni amah loh nangmih te na thunkha cungkuem kah kut lamloh n'huul eh?,” a ti nah.
40 However they didn’t listen, but they did what they did before.
Tedae hnatun uh pawt tih lamhma kah a khosing bangla a saii uh.
41 So these nations feared the LORD, and also served their engraved images. Their children did likewise, and so did their children’s children. They do as their fathers did to this day.
Te dongah natom rhoek he BOEIPA aka rhih la om uh cakhaw a ca neh a ca phoeikah a ca rhoek tah a mueidaep kah thothueng la om uh. Amih loh tahae khohnin hil a napa rhoek kah a saii bangla a saii uh.
