Kings IV 17
1 In the twelfth year of Achaz king of Juda began Osee the son of Ela to reign in Samaria over Israel nine years.
Ní ọdún kejìlá ọba Ahasi ará Juda, Hosea ọmọ Ela jẹ ọba Israẹli ní Samaria, ó sì jẹ fún ọdún mẹ́sàn-án.
2 And he did evil in the eyes of the Lord, only not as the kings of Israel that were before him.
Ó sì ṣe búburú ní ojú Olúwa, ṣùgbọ́n kì í ṣe bí i ti ọba Israẹli ẹni tí ó ti wà ṣáájú rẹ̀.
3 Against him came up Salamanassar king of the Assyrians; and Osee became his servant, and rendered him tribute.
Ṣalamaneseri ọba Asiria wá sókè láti mú Hosea, ẹni tí ó ti jẹ fún Ṣalamaneseri ó sì ti san owó òde fún un.
4 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.
Ṣùgbọ́n ọba Asiria rí i wí pé Hosea jẹ́ ọlọ́tẹ̀, nítorí ó ti rán oníṣẹ́ sọ́dọ̀ ọba Ejibiti, kò sì san owó òde mọ́ fún ọba Asiria, gẹ́gẹ́ bí o ti máa ń ṣe ní ọdọọdún. Nígbà náà ọba Asiria fi agbára mú ún, ó sì fi sínú túbú.
5 And the king of the Assyrians went up against all the land, and went up to Samaria, and besieged it [for] three years.
Ọba Asiria gòkè wá sí gbogbo ibi ilé náà, ó sì lọ sí Samaria, ó sì dúró tí ì fún ọdún mẹ́ta.
6 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.
Ní ọdún kẹsànán ti Hosea, ọba Asiria mú Samaria ó sì kó Israẹli lọ sí Asiria. Ó sì fi wọ́n sílẹ̀ ní Hala, ní Gosani ní etí odò Habori àti ní ìlú àwọn ará Media.
7 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,
Gbogbo eléyìí ṣẹlẹ̀ nítorí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli ti dẹ́ṣẹ̀ sí Olúwa Ọlọ́run wọn, ẹni tí ó mú wọn jáde ní Ejibiti lábẹ́ agbára Farao ọba Ejibiti. Wọ́n sin ọlọ́run mìíràn,
8 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],
wọn si tẹ̀lé ìwà orílẹ̀-èdè tí Olúwa ti gbá kúrò níwájú wọn gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìwà ti ọba Israẹli tí ó ti paláṣẹ.
9 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:
Àwọn ọmọ Israẹli ṣe ohun ìríra sí Olúwa Ọlọ́run wọn kọ́ láti ilé ìṣọ́ sí ìlú tí a dáàbò bò, wọ́n kọ́ ilé gíga fún ara wọn ní gbogbo ìlú wọn.
10 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.
Wọ́n sì gbé àwọn òkúta tí a yà sọ́tọ̀ sókè àti ère òrìṣà Aṣerah lórí gbogbo igi tútù.
11 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.
Ní gbogbo ibi gíga, wọ́n sun tùràrí gẹ́gẹ́ bí orílẹ̀-èdè tí Olúwa ti lé jáde níwájú wọn. Wọ́n ṣe ohun búburú tí ó rú ìbínú Olúwa sókè.
12 And they served the idols, of which the Lord said to them, You shall not do this thing [against] the Lord.
Wọ́n sìn òrìṣà, èyí tí Olúwa ti sọ pé, “Ẹ kò gbọdọ̀ ṣe èyí.”
13 And the Lord testified against Israel and against Juda, even by the hand of all his prophets, [and] of every seer, saying, Turn you 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.
Olúwa kìlọ̀ fún Israẹli àti Juda nípa gbogbo àwọn wòlíì wọn àti aríran: “Ẹ yípadà kúrò ní ọ̀nà búburú yín. Kí ẹ ṣe òfin mi àti ìlànà mi, ní ìbámu pẹ̀lú gbogbo òfin tí Èmi paláṣẹ fún àwọn baba yín láti tẹ̀lé àti èyí tí mo rán sí i yín nípa ìránṣẹ́ àwọn wòlíì mi.”
14 But they listened not, and made their neck harder than the neck of their fathers.
Ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò ní gbọ́, wọ́n sì ṣe gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọlọ́rùn líle gẹ́gẹ́ bí i ti baba wọn, ẹni tí kò gbà Olúwa Ọlọ́run wọn gbọ́.
15 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.
Wọ́n kọ̀ ìlànà rẹ̀ àti májẹ̀mú tí ó ti ṣe pẹ̀lú baba wọn àti ìkìlọ̀ tí ó ti fi fún wọn. Wọ́n tẹ̀lé òrìṣà aláìníláárí, àwọn fún rara wọn sì jẹ́ aláìníláárí. Wọ́n tẹ̀lé orílẹ̀-èdè tí ó yí wọn ká bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé Olúwa ti kìlọ̀ fún wọn pé, “Má ṣe ṣe gẹ́gẹ́ bí wọn tí ń ṣe,” wọ́n sì ṣe ohun tí Olúwa ti kà léèwọ̀ fún wọn láti ṣe.
16 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.
Wọ́n kọ̀ gbogbo òfin Olúwa Ọlọ́run wọn sílẹ̀, wọ́n sì ṣe òrìṣà méjì fún ara wọn, wọ́n sì gbẹ́ ẹ ọ̀kan ní ère ẹgbọrọ màlúù, àti ọ̀kan ní ère òrìṣà Aṣerah. Wọ́n sì tẹrí wọn ba sí gbogbo ogun ọ̀run, wọ́n sì sin Baali.
17 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.
Wọ́n sì fi àwọn ọmọkùnrin àti àwọn ọmọbìnrin wọn rú ẹbọ nínú iná. Wọ́n sì ń fọ àfọ̀ṣẹ, wọ́n sì ń ṣe àlúpàyídà wọ́n sì ta ara wọn láti ṣe ohun búburú níwájú Olúwa, wọ́n sì mú un bínú.
18 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.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Olúwa sì bínú gidigidi pẹ̀lú Israẹli ó sì mú wọn kúrò níwájú rẹ̀. Ẹ̀yà Juda nìkan ṣoṣo ni ó kù,
19 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.
àti pẹ̀lú, Juda kò pa òfin Olúwa Ọlọ́run wọn mọ́. Wọ́n tẹ̀lé ìhùwàsí àwọn Israẹli tí wọ́n ṣe.
20 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.
Nítorí náà Olúwa kọ gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn Israẹli; ó sì jẹ wọ́n ní yà. Ó sì fi wọ́n lé ọwọ́ àwọn olè títí tí ó fi ta wọ́n nù kúrò níwájú rẹ̀.
21 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.
Nígbà tí ó ta Israẹli kúrò láti ìdílé Dafidi, wọ́n sì mú Jeroboamu ọmọ Nebati jẹ ọba wọn. Jeroboamu sì mú kí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli yípadà kúrò ní títẹ̀lé Olúwa, ó sí mú kí wọn dẹ́ṣẹ̀ ńlá.
22 And the children of Israel walked in all the sin of Jeroboam which he committed; they departed not from it,
Àwọn ọmọ Israẹli forítì í nínú gbogbo ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ Jeroboamu kò sì yí padà kúrò lọ́dọ̀ wọn,
23 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.
títí tí Olúwa fi mú wọn kúrò níwájú rẹ̀, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ó ti paláṣẹ láti ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn ìránṣẹ́ wòlíì. Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni a kó gbogbo ènìyàn Israẹli kúrò ní ilẹ̀ wọn lọ sí ìgbèkùn ni Asiria, títí di òní yìí.
24 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.
Ọba Asiria mú àwọn ènìyàn láti Babeli, Kuta, Afa, Hamati àti Sefarfaimi, wọ́n sì fi wọ́n sínú ìlú Samaria láti rọ́pò àwọn ọmọ Israẹli. Wọ́n sì ń gbé ní ìlú náà.
25 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 killed some of them.
Nígbà tí wọ́n gbé bẹ̀ ní àkọ́kọ́, wọn kò sì bẹ̀rù Olúwa, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ó rán kìnnìún sí àárín wọn. Wọ́n sì pa nínú wọn.
26 And they spoke to the king of the Assyrians, saying, The nations whom you have 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.
Wọ́n sì sọ fún ọba Asiria pé, “Àwọn ènìyàn tí ìwọ lé kúrò tí o sì fi sínú ìlú Samaria kò mọ ohun tí ọlọ́run ìlú náà béèrè. Ó sì ti rán kìnnìún sí àárín wọn, tí ó sì ń pa wọ́n run, nítorí ènìyàn wọn kò mọ ohun tí ó béèrè.”
27 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.
Nígbà náà ọba Asiria pàṣẹ yìí wí pé, “Mú ọ̀kan lára àwọn àlùfáà tí ó mú láti Samaria lọ padà gbé níbẹ̀ kí ó sì kọ́ àwọn ènìyàn ní, ohun tí ọlọ́run ilẹ̀ náà béèrè.”
28 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.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ọ̀kan lára àwọn àlùfáà tí ó ti kúrò ní Samaria wá gbé ní Beteli ó sì kọ́ wọn bí a ti ń sin Olúwa.
29 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 lived.
Bí ó tilẹ̀ rí bẹ́ẹ̀, olúkúlùkù orílẹ̀-èdè ṣe òrìṣà tirẹ̀ ní gbogbo ìlú níbi tí wọ́n gbé wà, wọ́n sì gbé wọn nínú ilé òrìṣà àti àwọn ènìyàn Samaria ó sì ṣe wọ́n sí ibi gíga wọ̀n-ọn-nì.
30 And the men of Babylon made Socchoth Benith, and the men of Chuth made Ergel, and the men of Haemath made Asimath.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àwọn ọkùnrin láti Babeli ṣe àgọ́ àwọn wúńdíá, àwọn ènìyàn Kuti ṣe òrìṣà Nergali, àti àwọn ènìyàn Hamati ṣe ti Aṣima;
31 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.
àti àwọn ará Afa ṣe Nibhasi àti Tartaki, àti àwọn ará Sefarfaimi sun àwọn ọmọ wọn níná gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹbọ sí Adrameleki àti Anameleki, àwọn òrìṣà Sefarfaimi.
32 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 lived: 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.
Wọ́n sin Olúwa, ṣùgbọ́n wọ́n sì tún yan gbogbo ẹgbẹ́ tí ènìyàn wọn láti ṣe iṣẹ́ oyè fún wọn gẹ́gẹ́ bí àlùfáà ní ibi gíga.
33 And they feared the Lord, and served their gods according to the manner of the nations, whence [their lords] brought them.
Wọ́n sin Olúwa ṣùgbọ́n wọ́n sin òrìṣà wọn ní ìṣọ̀kan pẹ̀lú àṣà orílẹ̀-èdè wọn láti ibi tí wọ́n ti gbé wọn wá.
34 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.
Láti ìgbà náà wá àwọn àlùfáà wọn ṣe bí ti àtẹ̀yìnwá. Wọn kò sin Olúwa tàbí kí wọ́n fi ara mọ́ ìlànà àti àṣẹ àti òfin tí Olúwa fi fún ìránṣẹ́ Jakọbu, tí wọ́n pe orúkọ rẹ̀ ní Israẹli.
35 And the Lord made a covenant with them, and charged them, saying, You shall not fear other gods, neither shall you worship them, nor serve them, nor sacrifice to them:
Nígbà tí Olúwa ṣe májẹ̀mú pẹ̀lú àwọn ọmọ Israẹli ó pàṣẹ fún wọn pé, “Ẹ má ṣe sin òrìṣà mìíràn tàbí tẹríba fún wọn, sìn wọ́n tàbí kí ẹ rú ẹbọ sí wọn.
36 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 you fear, and him shall you worship; to him shall you sacrifice.
Ṣùgbọ́n Olúwa, ẹni tí ó mú yín gòkè jáde wá láti ilẹ̀ Ejibiti pẹ̀lú agbára ńlá àti nínà apá, òun ni ẹni náà tí ó yẹ kí ẹ sìn. Òun ni ẹni tí ó yẹ kí ẹ tẹríba fún àti sí òun ni kí ẹ rú ẹbọ fún.
37 You shall observe continually the ordinances, and the judgments, and the law, and the commandments which he wrote for you to do; and you shall not fear other gods.
Ó yẹ kí ẹ̀yin kí ó máa kíyèsi ara yín gidigidi láti pa ìlànà àti àṣẹ, àti òfin tí ó kọ fún un yín mọ́. Ẹ má ṣe sin ọlọ́run mìíràn.
38 Neither shall you forget the covenant which he made with you: and you shall not fear other gods.
Ẹ má ṣe gbàgbé májẹ̀mú tí mo ti ṣe pẹ̀lú yín mọ́ àti kí ẹ má sin ọlọ́run mìíràn.
39 But you shall fear the Lord your God, and he shall deliver you from all your enemies.
Kúkú sin Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ; Òun ni ẹni náà tí yóò gbà yín kúrò lọ́wọ́ gbogbo àwọn ọ̀tá a yín.”
40 Neither shall you comply with their practice, which they follow.
Wọn kò ní gbọ́, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni, wọ́n sì ń ṣe iṣẹ́ wọ́n ti àtijọ́.
41 So these nations feared the Lord, and served their graven images: yes, their sons and their son's sons do until this day even as their fathers did.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àwọn ènìyàn wọn sin Olúwa, wọ́n sì ń sin òrìṣà wọn. Títí di ọjọ́ òní ọmọ wọn àti àwọn ọmọ ọmọ wọn sì ń ṣe bí àwọn baba wọn ti ń ṣe.
