2 Sarakuna 17
1 A shekara ta goma sha biyu ta mulkin Ahaz sarkin Yahuda, Hosheya ɗan Ela ya zama sarkin Isra’ila a Samariya, ya kuma yi mulki na shekara tara.
In the twelfth year of Ahaz king of Judah, Hoshea the son of Elah began to reign in Samaria over Israel for nine years.
2 Ya aikata mugunta a gaban Ubangiji, amma ba kamar na sarakunan Isra’ilan da suka riga shi ba.
He did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, yet not as the kings of Israel who were before him.
3 Shalmaneser sarkin Assuriya ya kawo wa Hosheya wanda dā abokin tarayyarsa ne, hari har Hosheya ya biya shi haraji.
Shalmaneser king of Assyria came up against him; and Hoshea became his servant, and brought him tribute.
4 Amma sarkin Assuriya ya gane cewa Hosheya mai cin amana ne, gama ya aika da wakilai wurin So sarkin Masar, ya kuma daina aika wa sarkin Assuriya haraji yadda ya saba yi kowace shekara. Saboda haka Shalmaneser ya kama shi ya sa a kurkuku.
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.
5 Sarkin Assuriya ya kai wa ƙasar Hosheya gaba ɗaya farmaki, ya kewaye Samariya na tsawon shekara uku.
Then the king of Assyria came up throughout all the land, went up to Samaria, and besieged it three years.
6 A shekara ta tara ta sarautar Hosheya, sarkin Assuriya ya ci Samariya da yaƙi ya kuma kwashe Isra’ilawa zuwa Assuriya. Ya tsugunar da su a Hala, da a Gozan a bakin Kogin Habor da kuma a garuruwan Medes.
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.
7 Duk wannan ya faru ne saboda Isra’ilawa sun yi wa Ubangiji Allahnsu zunubi, shi wanda ya fitar da su daga Masar daga ƙarƙashin ikon Fir’auna sarkin Masar. Sun yi wa waɗansu alloli sujada
It was so because the children of Israel had sinned against Yahweh 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,
8 suka kuma bi gurbin al’umman da Ubangiji ya kora a gabansu, da kuma ayyukan da sarakuna Isra’ila suka gabatar.
and walked in the statutes of the nations whom Yahweh cast out from before the children of Israel, and of the kings of Israel, which they made.
9 Isra’ilawa a ɓoye sun aikata abubuwan da ba daidai ba ga Ubangiji Allahnsu. Tun daga hasumiyoyi har zuwa birane masu katanga, sun gina wa kansu wuraren sujada na tudu a dukan garuruwansu.
The children of Israel secretly did things that were not right against Yahweh their God; and they built high places for themselves in all their cities, from the tower of the watchmen to the fortified city;
10 Suka kafa keɓaɓɓun duwatsu da kuma ginshiƙan Ashera a kowane tudu mai tsayi da kuma a ƙarƙashin kowane babban itace.
and they set up for themselves pillars and Asherah poles on every high hill and under every green tree;
11 Suka ƙona turare a kan kowane tudu, kamar dai yadda al’umman da Ubangiji ya kora daga gabansu suka yi. Suka yi muguntan da ya sa Ubangiji ya yi fushi.
and there they burned incense in all the high places, as the nations whom Yahweh carried away before them did; and they did wicked things to provoke Yahweh to anger;
12 Suka bauta wa gumaka, ko da yake Ubangiji ya ce, “Ba za ku yi wannan ba.”
and they served idols, of which Yahweh had said to them, “You shall not do this thing.”
13 Ubangiji ya yi wa Isra’ila da Yahuda kashedi ta bakin dukan annabawansa da kuma masu duba, cewa, “Ku juyo daga mugayen ayyukanku. Ku yi biyayya da umarnai da farillaina, bisa ga dukan Dokar da na dokaci kakanninku su bi, waɗanda na kuma bayar ta wurin bayina, annabawa.”
Yet Yahweh 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.”
14 Amma ba su saurare ni ba don sun kangare kamar kakanninsu, waɗanda ba su amince da Ubangiji Allahnsu ba.
Notwithstanding, they would not listen, but hardened their neck like the neck of their fathers who didn’t believe in Yahweh their God.
15 Suka yi watsi da farillansa da yarjejjeniyar da ya ƙulla da kakanninsu, da kuma kashedin da ya yi musu. Suka bi gumaka marasa amfani, wannan ya sa su ma kansu suka zama marasa amfani. Suka kwaikwayi sauran ƙasashen da suke kewaye da su, ko da yake Ubangiji ya umarce su cewa, “Kada ku yi rayuwa irin tasu,” suka kuwa yi abin da Ubangiji ya hana su.
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 Yahweh had commanded them that they should not do like them.
16 Suka wofinta dukan umarnan Ubangiji Allahnsu, suka yi wa kansu gumakan zubi na siffar’yan maruƙa biyu, da kuma ginshiƙin Ashera. Suka rusuna wa rundunan taurari, suka kuma yi wa Ba’al sujada.
They abandoned all the commandments of Yahweh their God, and made molten images for themselves, even two calves, and made an Asherah, and worshiped all the army of the sky, and served Baal.
17 Suka miƙa’ya’yansu maza da mata hadaya ta wuta. Suka yi duba, suka yi sihiri suka kuma ba da kansu ga mugunta a gaban Ubangiji; suka sa ya yi fushi.
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 Yahweh’s sight, to provoke him to anger.
18 Saboda haka Ubangiji ya yi fushi ƙwarai da Isra’ila, ya kuma kawar da su daga gabansa. Kabilar Yahuda kaɗai aka bari,
Therefore Yahweh was very angry with Israel, and removed them out of his sight. There was none left but the tribe of Judah only.
19 ko Yahuda ma ba su kiyaye umarnan Ubangiji Allahnsu ba. Sun bi gurbin da Isra’ila ta kawo.
Also Judah didn’t keep the commandments of Yahweh their God, but walked in the statutes of Israel which they made.
20 Saboda haka Ubangiji ya wofinta mutanen Isra’ila; ya azabtar da su, ya kuma ba da su a hannun masu kwasar ganima, sai da ya shafe su ƙaƙaf daga gabansa.
Yahweh 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.
21 Sa’ad da ya ware Isra’ila daga gidan Dawuda, sai suka naɗa Yerobowam ɗan Nebat sarki a kansu. Yerobowam ya rinjayi Isra’ila daga ƙin Ubangiji, ya sa suka aikata babban zunubi.
For he tore Israel from David’s house; and they made Jeroboam the son of Nebat king; and Jeroboam drove Israel from following Yahweh, and made them sin a great sin.
22 Isra’ila suka nace cikin dukan zunuban Yerobowam, ba su kuwa rabu da su ba
The children of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam which he did; they didn’t depart from them
23 har Ubangiji ya kawar da su daga gabansa, kamar yadda ya gargaɗe su ta bakin bayinsa annabawa. Saboda haka aka kwashi mutanen Isra’ila daga ƙasarsu zuwa bauta a Assuriya, har wa yau kuwa suna can.
until Yahweh 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.
24 Sarkin Assuriya ya kawo mutane daga Babilon, Kuta, Afa, Hamat da Sefarfayim ya zaunar da su a garuruwan Samariya don su maya gurbin Isra’ilawa. Suka mallaki Samariya suka kuma zauna a garuruwansu.
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.
25 Sa’ad da suka fara zama a can, ba su bauta wa Ubangiji ba; saboda haka ya aika da zakoki a tsakaninsu suka karkashe waɗansu mutane.
So it was, at the beginning of their dwelling there, that they didn’t fear Yahweh. Therefore Yahweh sent lions among them, which killed some of them.
26 Sai aka faɗa wa sarkin Assuriya cewa, “Mutanen da ka kwashe ka zaunar a garuruwan Samariya fa ba su san abin da allahn ƙasar yake bukata ba. Saboda haka allahn ƙasar ya tura zakoki a cikinsu, waɗanda suke karkashe su, domin mutanen ba su san abin da yake bukata ba.”
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 among them; and behold, they kill them, because they don’t know the law of the god of the land.”
27 Sai sarkin Assuriya ya ba da umarni cewa, “A sami wani daga cikin firistocin da aka kwaso zuwa bauta daga Samariya, yă koma yă zauna a can, yă koya wa mutanen abin da allahn ƙasar yake bukata.”
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.”
28 Saboda haka ɗaya daga cikin firistocin da aka kawo bauta daga Samariya ya dawo ya zauna a Betel, ya koya musu yadda za su yi sujada ga Ubangiji.
So one of the priests whom they had carried away from Samaria came and lived in Bethel, and taught them how they should fear Yahweh.
29 Duk da haka, jama’ar kowace ƙasa, suka ƙera tasu alloli a garuruwa masu yawa inda suke zaune, suka sa su a masujadan da mutanen Samariya suka gina a kan tuddai.
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.
30 Mutane daga Babilon suka ƙera Sukkot Benot, mutane daga Kut suka ƙera Nergal, mutane daga Hamat suka ƙera Ashima;
The men of Babylon made Succoth Benoth, and the men of Cuth made Nergal, and the men of Hamath made Ashima,
31 Awwiyawa suka ƙera Nibhaz da Tartak, Sefarfayawa kuwa suka ƙone’ya’yansu a wuta a matsayi hadayu ga Adrammelek da Anammelek allolin Sefarfayim.
and the Avvites made Nibhaz and Tartak; and the Sepharvites burned their children in the fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech, the gods of Sepharvaim.
32 Sun yi wa Ubangiji sujada, amma kuma suka zaɓi mutanensu su yi musu hidima a matsayin firistoci a masujadan da suke kan tuddai.
So they feared Yahweh, and also made from among themselves priests of the high places for themselves, who sacrificed for them in the houses of the high places.
33 Sun yi wa Ubangiji sujada, amma kuma sun bauta wa allolinsu bisa ga al’adun ƙasashen da suka fito.
They feared Yahweh, and also served their own gods, after the ways of the nations from among whom they had been carried away.
34 Har yă zuwa yau, sun nace da ayyukansu na dā. Ba sa yin wa Ubangiji sujada, ba sa kuma bin dokoki da farillansa, dokoki da umarnan da Ubangiji ya ba wa zuriyar Yaƙub, wadda ya ba wa suna Isra’ila.
To this day they do what they did before. They don’t fear Yahweh, and they do not follow the statutes, or the ordinances, or the law, or the commandment which Yahweh commanded the children of Jacob, whom he named Israel;
35 Da Ubangiji ya ƙulla alkawari da Isra’ilawa, ya dokace su cewa, “Kada ku yi wa waɗansu alloli sujada ko ku durƙusa a gabansu ku bauta musu, ko ku miƙa musu hadaya.
with whom Yahweh 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;
36 Amma Ubangiji wanda ya fito da ku daga Masar da iko mai girma da hannu mai ƙarfi, shi ne za ku yi masa sujada. Gare shi za ku durƙusa ku kuma miƙa masa hadayu.
but you shall fear Yahweh, 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.
37 Dole kullum ku mai da hankali ga kiyaye ƙa’idodi da farillan, dokoki da umarnan da ya rubuta muku. Kada ku yi wa waɗansu alloli sujada.
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.
38 Kada ku manta da alkawarin da na ƙulla da ku, kada ku yi sujada ga waɗansu alloli.
You shall not forget the covenant that I have made with you. You shall not fear other gods.
39 Maimakon haka, ku yi wa Ubangiji Allahnku sujada; shi ne zai cece ku daga hannun abokan gābanku.”
But you shall fear Yahweh your God, and he will deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies.”
40 Amma ba su saurara ba, suka nace da ayyukansu na dā.
However they didn’t listen, but they did what they did before.
41 Ko ma yayinda mutanen nan suke yi wa Ubangiji sujada, ba su daina bauta wa gumakansu ba. Har yă zuwa yau,’ya’yansu da jikokinsu sun ci gaba da bin gurbin kakanninsu.
So these nations feared Yahweh, 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.
