2 Reyes 17
1 A los doce años de Acaz rey de Judá, comenzó a reinar Oséas, hijo de Ela, en Samaria sobre Israel nueve años.
In the twelfth year of Ahaz, king of Judah, Hoshea, the son of Elah, became king over Israel in Samaria, ruling for nine years.
2 E hizo lo malo en ojos de Jehová, aunque no como los reyes de Israel, que fueron antes de él.
He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, though not like the kings of Israel before him.
3 Contra este subió Salmanasar rey de los Asirios, y Oséas fue hecho su siervo, y pagábale presente.
Against him came up Shalmaneser, king of Assyria, and Hoshea became his servant and sent him offerings.
4 Mas el rey de Asiria halló que Oséas hacía conjuración; porque había enviado embajadores a Sua rey de Egipto, y ya no pagaba presente al rey de Asiria como cada año: y el rey de Asiria le detuvo, y le aprisionó en la casa de la cárcel.
But Hoshea's broken faith became clear to the king of Assyria because he had sent representatives to So, king of Egypt, and did not send his offering to the king of Assyria, as he had done year by year: so the king of Assyria had him shut up in prison and put in chains.
5 Y el rey de Asiria subió contra toda la tierra, y subió contra Samaria, y estuvo sobre ella tres años.
Then the king of Assyria went through all the land and came up to Samaria, shutting it in with his forces for three years.
6 A los nueve años de Oséas tomó el rey de Asiria a Samaria, y trasportó a Israel en Asiria: y púsolos en Hala, y en Habor, junto al río de Gozán, y en las ciudades de los Medos.
In the ninth year of Hoshea, the king of Assyria took Samaria, and took Israel away to Assyria, placing them in Halah and in Habor on the river Gozan, and in the towns of the Medes.
7 Porque como los hijos de Israel pecasen contra Jehová su Dios, que los sacó de tierra de Egipto, de dabajo de la mano de Faraón rey de Egipto, y temiesen a dioses ajenos,
And the wrath of the Lord came on Israel because they had done evil against the Lord their God, who took them out of the land of Egypt from under the yoke of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and had become worshippers of other gods,
8 Y anduviesen en los estatutos de las gentes que Jehová había lanzado delante de los hijos de Israel, y de los reyes de Israel, que ellos hicieron;
Living by the rules of the nations whom the Lord had sent out from before the children of Israel.
9 Y como los hijos de Israel cubrieron cosas no rectas contra Jehová su Dios, edificándose altos en todas sus ciudades, desde las torres de las atalayas hasta las ciudades fuertes;
And the children of Israel did secretly against the Lord their God things which were not right, building high places for themselves in all their towns, from the tower of the watchmen to the walled town.
10 Y se levantasen estatuas y bosques en todo collado alto, y debajo de todo árbol sombrío,
They put up pillars of stone and wood on every high hill and under every green tree:
11 Quemando allí perfumes en todos los altos a la manera de las gentes, las cuales Jehová había traspuesto delante de ellos, y haciendo cosas muy malas para provocar a ira a Jehová.
Burning their offerings in all the high places, as those nations did whom the Lord sent away from before them; they did evil things, moving the Lord to wrath;
12 Sirviendo a los ídolos, de los cuales Jehová les había dicho: Vosotros no haréis esto;
And they made themselves servants of disgusting things, though the Lord had said, You are not to do this.
13 Entonces Jehová protestaba contra Israel, y contra Judá, por la mano de todos los profetas, y de todos los videntes, diciendo: Volvéos de vuestros caminos malos, y guardád mis mandamientos y mis ordenanzas, conforme a todas las leyes que yo mandé a vuestros padres, y que os he enviado por mano de mis siervos los profetas.
And he gave witness to Israel and Judah, by every prophet and seer, saying, Come back from your evil ways, and do my orders and keep my rules, and be guided by the law which I gave to your fathers and sent to you by my servants the prophets.
14 Mas ellos no obedecieron, antes endurecieron su cerviz, como la cerviz de sus padres, los cuales no creyeron en Jehová su Dios.
And they did not give ear, but became stiff-necked, like their fathers who had no faith in the Lord their God.
15 Y desecharon sus estatutos, y su concierto, que él había concertado con sus padres, y sus testimonios, que él había protestado contra ellos: y siguieron la vanidad, y fueron hechos vanos: y en pos de las gentes, que estaban al rededor de ellos, de las cuales Jehová les había mandado, que no hiciesen a la manera de ellas.
And they went against his rules, and the agreement which he made with their fathers, and his laws which he gave them; they gave themselves up to things without sense or value, and became foolish like the nations round them, of whom the Lord had said, Do not as they do.
16 Y dejaron todos los mandamientos de Jehová su Dios, e hiciéronse vaciadizos dos becerros, e hicieron bosques, y adoraron a todo el ejército del cielo, y sirvieron a Baal.
And turning their backs on all the orders which the Lord had given them, they made for themselves images of metal, and the image of Asherah, worshipping all the stars of heaven and becoming servants to Baal.
17 E hicieron pasar a sus hijos y a sus hijas por fuego, y adivinaron adivinaciones, y eran agoreros, y entregáronse a hacer lo malo en ojos de Jehová, provocándole a ira.
And they made their sons and their daughters go through the fire, and they made use of secret arts and unnatural powers, and gave themselves up to doing evil in the eyes of the Lord, till he was moved to wrath.
18 Y Jehová se airó en gran manera contra Israel, y quitólos de delante de su rostro, que no quedó, sino solo la tribu de Judá.
So the Lord was very angry with Israel, and his face was turned away from them: only the tribe of Judah kept its place.
19 Mas ni aun Judá guardó los mandamientos de Jehová su Dios, antes anduvieron en los estatutos de Israel, los cuales hicieron.
(But even Judah did not keep the orders of the Lord their God, but were guided by the rules which Israel had made.
20 Y desechó Jehová toda la simiente de Israel, y afligiólos, y entrególos en manos de saqueadores, hasta echarlos de su presencia.
So the Lord would have nothing to do with all the offspring of Israel, and sent trouble on them, and gave them up into the hands of their attackers, till he had sent them away from before his face.)
21 Porque cortó a Israel de la casa de David, e hiciéronse rey a Jeroboam, hijo de Nabat, y Jeroboam rempujó a Israel de en pos de Jehová, e hízolos pecar gran pecado.
For Israel was broken off from the family of David, and they made Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, king, who, driving them away from the laws of the Lord, made them do a great sin.
22 Y los hijos de Israel anduvieron en todos los pecados de Jeroboam, que él hizo; no se apartaron de ellos;
And the children of Israel went on with all the sins which Jeroboam did; they did not keep themselves from them;
23 Hasta tanto que Jehová quitó a Israel de delante de su rostro, como él lo había dicho por mano de todos los profetas sus siervos, e Israel fue traspuesto de su tierra en Asiria hasta hoy.
Till the Lord put Israel away from before his face, as he had said by all his servants the prophets. So Israel was taken away from their land to Assyria, to this day.
24 Y trajo el rey de Asiria gente de Babilonia, y de Cuta, y de Ava, y de Emat, y de Sefarvaim, y púsolos en las ciudades de Samaria en lugar de los hijos de Israel; y poseyeron a Samaria, y habitaron en sus ciudades.
Then the king of Assyria took men from Babylon and from Cuthah and Avva and Hamath and Sepharvaim, and put them in the towns of Samaria in place of the children of Israel; so they got Samaria for their heritage, living in its towns.
25 Y aconteció al principio, cuando comenzaron a habitar allí, que no temiendo ellos a Jehová, Jehová envió contra ellos leones que los mataban.
Now when first they were living there they did not give worship to the Lord. So the Lord sent lions among them, causing the death of some of them.
26 Entonces ellos dijeron al rey de Asiria: Las gentes que tú traspasaste, y pusiste en las ciudades de Samaria, no saben la costumbre del Dios de aquella tierra, y él ha echado leones en ellos, y, he aquí, los matan, porque no saben la costumbre del Dios de la tierra.
So they said to the king of Assyria, The nations whom you have taken as prisoners and put in the towns of Samaria, have no knowledge of the way of the god of the land: so he has sent lions among them, causing their death, because they have no knowledge of his way.
27 Y el rey de Asiria mandó, diciendo: Llevád allí a alguno de los sacerdotes que trajisteis de allá, y vayan, y habiten allá, y enséñenles la costumbre del Dios de la tierra.
Then the king of Assyria gave orders, saying, Send there one of the priests whom you took away, and let him be living there and teaching the people the way of the god of the land.
28 Y vino uno de los sacerdotes que habían trasportado de Samaria, y habitó en Bet-el, y enseñóles como habían de temer a Jehová.
So one of the priests whom they had taken away as a prisoner from Samaria came back, and, living in Beth-el, became their teacher in the worship of the Lord.
29 Mas cada nación se hizo sus dioses, y pusiéronlos en los templos de los altos que habían hecho los de Samaria; cada nación en su ciudad donde habitaba.
And every nation made gods for themselves, and put them in the houses of the high places which the Samaritans had made, every nation in the towns where they were living.
30 Los de Babilonia hicieron a Soccot-benot, y los de Cuta hicieron a Nergel, y los de Emat hicieron a Asima.
The men of Babylon made Succoth-benoth, and the men of Cuth made Nergal, and the men of Hamath made Ashima,
31 Los Heveos hicieron a Nebahaz, y a Tartac. Y los de Sefarvaim quemaban sus hijos con fuego a Adramelec y a Anamelec dioses de Sefarvaim.
The Avvites made Nibhaz and Tartak, and the Sepharvites gave their children to be burned in the fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech, the gods of Sepharvaim.
32 Y temían a Jehová, e hicieron de ellos sacerdotes de los altos, que les sacrificaban en los templos de los altos.
So they went on worshipping the Lord, and made for themselves, from among all the people, priests for the high places, to make offerings for them in the houses of the high places.
33 Y temían a Jehová, y honraban también a sus dioses, según la costumbre de las gentes, que habían hecho traspasar de allí.
They gave worship to the Lord, but they gave honour to their gods like the nations did from whom they had been taken as prisoners.
34 Hasta hoy hacen como primero, que ni temen a Jehová, ni guardan sus estatutos, ni sus ordenanzas, ni hacen según la ley y los mandamientos, que mandó Jehová a los hijos de Jacob, al cual puso por nombre Israel:
So to this day they go on in their old ways, not worshipping the Lord or keeping his orders or his ways or the law and the rule which the Lord gave to the children of Jacob, to whom he gave the name Israel;
35 Con los cuales Jehová había hecho concierto, y les mandó, diciendo: No temeréis a otros dioses, ni los adoraréis, ni les serviréis, ni les sacrificaréis.
And the Lord made an agreement with them and gave them orders, saying, You are to have no other gods; you are not to give worship to them or be their servants or make them offerings:
36 Mas a Jehová, que os sacó de tierra de Egipto con potencia grande, y brazo extendido, a este temeréis, a este adoraréis, a este sacrificaréis.
But the Lord, who took you out of the land of Egypt with his great power and his outstretched arm, he is your God, to whom you are to give worship and make offerings:
37 Los estatutos, y derechos, y ley, y mandamientos que os dio por escrito, guardaréis, haciéndolos todos los días, y no temeréis dioses ajenos.
And the rules and the orders and the law which he put in writing for you, you are to keep and do for ever; you are to have no other gods.
38 Y no olvidaréis el concierto que hice con vosotros, ni temeréis dioses ajenos;
And you are to keep in memory the agreement which I have made with you; and you are to have no other gods.
39 Sino a Jehová vuestros Dios teméd, y él os librará de mano de todos vuestros enemigos.
And you are to give worship to the Lord your God; for it is he who will give you salvation from the hands of all who are against you.
40 Mas ellos no oyeron: antes hicieron según su costumbre antigua.
But they gave no attention, but went on in their old way.
41 Así temieron a Jehová aquellas gentes, y juntamente sirvieron a sus ídolos: y asimismo sus hijos y sus nietos, como hicieron sus padres, así hacen hasta hoy.
So these nations, worshipping the Lord, still were servants to the images they had made; their children and their children's children did the same; as their fathers did, so do they, to this day.
