¹In the twelfth year of Ahaz king of Judah began Hoshea the son of Elah to reign in Samaria over Israel nine years.

¹ Yahuda bonkoono Ahaz mayra jiiri way cindi hinkanta ra no Ela izo Hoseya te bonkooni Samariya ra Israyla boŋ. Jiiri yagga mo no a go ga may.

²And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, but not as the kings of Israel that were before him.

² A na teera laalo te Rabbi diyaŋ gaa, amma manti sanda Israyla bonkooney kaŋ yaŋ n'a jin cine.

³Against him came up Shalmaneser king of Assyria; and Hoshea became his servant, and gave him presents.

³ Assiriya bonkoono Salmaneser kaa ka wongu nd'a, Hoseya mo ciya a bannya ka kande a se jangal.

⁴And the king of Assyria found conspiracy in Hoshea: for he had sent messengers to So king of Egypt, and brought no present to the king of Assyria, as he had done year by year: therefore the king of Assyria shut him up, and bound him in prison.

⁴ Assiriya bonkoono na murteyaŋ munaficitaray gar Hoseya do. Zama a jin ka diyayaŋ donton Misira bonkoono So do. A mana jangal samba Assiriya bonkoono do mo, mate kaŋ a doona ka te jiiri kulu. Woodin sabbay se no Assiriya bonkoono n'a haw k'a gaay kasu ra.

⁵Then the king of Assyria came up throughout all the land, and went up to Samaria, and besieged it three years.

⁵ Assiriya bonkoono ziji mo ka gana ka bisa laabo kulu ra. A ziji ka koy Samariya k'a windi nda wongu jiiri hinza.

⁶In the ninth year of Hoshea the king of Assyria took Samaria, and carried Israel away into Assyria, and placed them in Halah and in Habor by the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes.

⁶ Hoseya jiiri yagganta ra no Assiriya bonkoono na Samariya ŋwa ka Israyla ku. A kond'ey Assiriya k'i gorandi Hala, Habor isa me gaa, Gozan laabu da Mediyancey kwaarey ra mo.

⁷For so it was, that the children of Israel had sinned against the LORD their God, which had brought them up out of the land of Egypt, from under the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and had feared other gods,

⁷ A ciya mo, Israyla izey na zunubi te Rabbi ngey Irikoyo se, nga kaŋ kand'ey i ma fun Misira laabo ra nda Misira bonkoono Firawna* kambe ra. I humburu de-koy fooyaŋ,

⁸And walked in the statutes of the heathen, whom the LORD cast out from before the children of Israel, and of the kings of Israel, which they had made.

⁸ i dira mebarawey alaadey boŋ, ngey kaŋ yaŋ Rabbi gaaray Israyla jine. I na Israyla bonkooney alaadey kaŋ i te mo gana.

⁹And the children of Israel did secretly those things that were not right against the LORD their God, and they built them high places in all their cities, from the tower of the watchmen to the fenced city.

⁹ Tuguray ra mo Israyla izey te hariyaŋ kaŋ mana hagu Rabbi ngey Irikoyo diyaŋ gaa. Koyne, i na tudey boŋ sududuyaŋ nangey cina ngey kwaarey kulu ra, za batukoy cinari kuuko gaa kal a ma koy kwaara kaŋ gonda birni cinari gaa.

¹⁰And they set them up images and groves in every high hill, and under every green tree:

¹⁰ I na cinariyaŋ da wayboro himandi bundu tooruyaŋ sinji ngey boŋ se tudu kuuku kulu boŋ, da tuuri kobtokoy kulu cire.

¹¹And there they burnt incense in all the high places, as did the heathen whom the LORD carried away before them; and wrought wicked things to provoke the LORD to anger:

¹¹ Nangey din mo no i ga dugu ton sududuyaŋ nangey kulu ra, sanda mate kaŋ cine mebarawey kaŋ Rabbi gaaray i jine din ga te. I na teera laaloyaŋ te zama i ma Rabbi zokoti se.

¹²For they served idols, whereof the LORD had said unto them, Ye shall not do this thing.

¹² I may toorey se kaŋ yaŋ Rabbi n'i sanni te ka ne: «Araŋ ma si hayey din te me!»

¹³Yet the LORD testified against Israel, and against Judah, by all the prophets, and by all the seers, saying, Turn ye 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.

¹³ Kulu nda yaadin, annabi fo kulu, da borey kaŋ yaŋ ga jina fonnay kulu me ra Rabbi ci Israyla nda Yahuda se ka ne: «Wa bare ka fun araŋ fondo laaley ra. Araŋ m'ay lordey nd'ay hin sanney haggoy, ay asariya kulu boŋ kaŋ ay n'araŋ kaayey lordi nd'a mo, kaŋ ay n'ay tam annabey donton d'a.»

¹⁴Notwithstanding they would not hear, but hardened their necks, like to the neck of their fathers, that did not believe in the LORD their God.

¹⁴ Amma i wangu ka maa, i na hanga sanday te, sanda i kaayey hanga sanda cine, kaŋ yaŋ mana Rabbi ngey Irikoyo cimandi.

¹⁵And they rejected his statutes, and his covenant that he made with their fathers, and his testimonies which he testified against them; and they followed vanity, and became vain, and went after the heathen that were round about them, concerning whom the LORD had charged them, that they should not do like them.

¹⁵ I wangu a hin sanney d'a sappa kaŋ a te d'i kaayey d'a seedey kaŋ yaŋ a ci i se. I na hari yaamoyaŋ gana hal i ciya yaamoyaŋ. I na dumi cindey kaŋ yaŋ go g'i windi gana, ngey kaŋ yaŋ boŋ Rabbi lordi i se ka ne i ma si goy d'i goyey dumi.

¹⁶And they left all the commandments of the LORD their God, and made them molten images, even two calves, and made a grove, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served Baal.

¹⁶ Koyne, i fay da Rabbi ngey Irikoyo lordey kulu. I na sooguyaŋ himandi handayze hinka te ngey boŋ se. I na bundu tooruyaŋ te. I gurfa beena ra marga kulu se, i may Baal se mo.

¹⁷And they caused their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire, and used divination and enchantments, and sold themselves to do evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.

¹⁷ I na ngey ize arey da ngey ize wayey daŋ danji ra. I na gunayaŋ da dobo te. I na ngey boŋ neera zama ngey ma laala te Rabbi diyaŋ gaa k'a zokoti.

¹⁸Therefore the LORD was very angry with Israel, and removed them out of his sight: there was none left but the tribe of Judah only.

¹⁸ To, woodin yaŋ kulu sabbay se no Rabbi te bine Israyla se gumo. A n'i ganandi ka kaa nga jine. Afo kulu mana cindi, kala Yahuda kunda hinne.

¹⁹Also Judah kept not the commandments of the LORD their God, but walked in the statutes of Israel which they made.

¹⁹ Baa Yahuda mo, i mana Rabbi ngey Irikoyo lordey haggoy bo, amma i dira Israyla farilley ra kaŋ yaŋ i daŋ.

²⁰And the LORD rejected all the seed of Israel, and afflicted them, and delivered them into the hand of spoilers, until he had cast them out of his sight.

²⁰ Rabbi mo wangu Israyla izey kulu. A n'i kaynandi k'i daŋ komkoy kambe ra, hal a n'i furu ka kaa nga jine.

²¹For he rent Israel from the house of David; and they made Jeroboam the son of Nebat king: and Jeroboam drave Israel from following the LORD, and made them sin a great sin.

²¹ Zama a na Israyla fay ka kaa Dawda dumo gaa. Israyla na Yerobowam Nebat izo didiji bonkooni. Yerobowam mo na Israyla ganji Rabbi ganayaŋ, a n'i daŋ zunubi bambata teeyaŋ.

²²For the children of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam which he did; they departed not from them;

²² Israyla izey mo na Yerobowam zunubey kulu kaŋ yaŋ a te gana, i mana fay d'ey.

²³Until the LORD removed Israel out of his sight, as he had said by all his servants the prophets. So was Israel carried away out of their own land to Assyria unto this day.

²³ Hal a to naŋ kaŋ Rabbi na Israyla ganandi ka kaa nga jine, sanda mate kaŋ cine a ci nga tam annabey kulu me ra. Yaadin no i na Israyla ganandi nd'a nga laabo ra ka kond'a Assiriya laabu hala ka kaa hunkuna.

²⁴And the king of Assyria brought men from Babylon, and from Cuthah, and from Ava, and from Hamath, and from Sepharvaim, and placed them in the cities of Samaria instead of the children of Israel: and they possessed Samaria, and dwelt in the cities thereof.

²⁴ Kala Assiriya bonkoono na boroyaŋ kaa Kuta kwaara, da Babila, da Abba, da Hamat, da Sefarbayim, k'i gorandi Samariya kwaarey ra Israyla izey nango ra. Ngey mo na Samariya mayra ta ka goro a kwaarey ra.

²⁵And so it was at the beginning of their dwelling there, that they feared not the LORD: therefore the LORD sent lions among them, which slew some of them.

²⁵ A ciya mo nango din i goray sintina, i mana Rabbi beerandi. Woodin sabbay se no Rabbi mo na muusu beeri yaŋ donton i ra, i na afooyaŋ wi i ra.

²⁶Wherefore they spake to the king of Assyria, saying, The nations which thou hast removed, and placed in the cities of Samaria, know not the manner of the God of the land: therefore he hath sent lions among them, and, behold, they slay them, because they know not the manner of the God of the land.

²⁶ Woodin sabbay se no i salaŋ Assiriya bonkoono se ka ne: «Mebarawey kaŋ ni ku ka jisi Samariya kwaarey ra, i si laabo din Irikoyo asariya bay. Woodin sabbay se no a na muusu beeri yaŋ donton i ra. Ngey mo neeya g'i wi, zama i si laabo Irikoyo asariya bay.»

²⁷Then the king of Assyria commanded, saying, Carry thither one of the priests whom ye brought from thence; and let them go and dwell there, and let him teach them the manner of the God of the land.

²⁷ Alwaato din Assiriya bonkoono lordi ka ne: «Kal i ma sambu tamtaray alfagey ra afo kaŋ i kande ka fun noodin. I ma naŋ a ma ye ka koy ka goro noodin laabo ra, ka borey dondonandi laabo din Irikoyo asariya.»

²⁸Then one of the priests whom they had carried away from Samaria came and dwelt in Bethel, and taught them how they should fear the LORD.

²⁸ Alfagey kaŋ i ku Samariya ra binde, afo kaa ka goro Betel. A n'i dondonandi mate kaŋ boro ga humburu Rabbi nd'a.

²⁹Howbeit 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 wherein they dwelt.

²⁹ Kulu nda yaadin mebaraw fo kulu te nga boŋ tooruyaŋ k'i daŋ tudey boŋ fuwey ra, kaŋ yaŋ Samariyancey te, mebaraw kulu ngey kwaara ra kaŋ ra i ga goro.

³⁰And the men of Babylon made Succothbenoth, and the men of Cuth made Nergal, and the men of Hamath made Ashima,

³⁰ Babila borey te Sukkot-Benet. Kuta borey mo te Nergal. Hamat borey te Asima.

³¹And the Avites made Nibhaz and Tartak, and the Sepharvites burnt their children in fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech, the gods of Sepharvaim.

³¹ Abbi borey te Nibhaz da Tartak. Sefarbancey mo na ngey izeyaŋ daŋ danji ra Adrammelek da Anammelek se, kaŋ ga ti Sefarbayim toorey.

³²So they feared the LORD, and made unto themselves of the lowest of them priests of the high places, which sacrificed for them in the houses of the high places.

³² Yaadin no i humburu Rabbi. I ra koyne i na alfagayaŋ suuban boro yaamey ra tudey boŋ sududuyaŋ nangey se, borey kaŋ yaŋ ga sargay te i se i tudey boŋ sududuyaŋ fuwey ra.

³³They feared the LORD, and served their own gods, after the manner of the nations whom they carried away from thence.

³³ I humburu Rabbi ka may ngey toorey se mo, mebarawey kaŋ yaŋ ra i n'i sambu alaadey boŋ.

³⁴Unto this day they do after the former manners: they fear not the LORD, neither do they after their statutes, or after their ordinances, or after the law and commandment which the LORD commanded the children of Jacob, whom he named Israel;

³⁴ Hala hõ i ga goy ngey doŋ alaadey boŋ. I mana Rabbi beerandi bo. I mana goy ngey hin sanney boŋ mo, wala ngey alaadey, wala asariya boŋ, wala Rabbi lordey kaŋ yaŋ a na Yakuba izey lordi nd'a din boŋ, dumo kaŋ a n'a no maa Israyla,

³⁵With whom the LORD had made a covenant, and charged them, saying, Ye shall not fear other gods, nor bow yourselves to them, nor serve them, nor sacrifice to them:

³⁵ ngey kaŋ yaŋ Rabbi na alkawli sambu i se. A na sanno gaabandi i se ka ne: «Araŋ ma si humburu de-koy fooyaŋ bo. Araŋ ma si sombu i se, araŋ ma si may i se, araŋ ma si sargay te i se mo.

³⁶But the LORD, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt with great power and a stretched out arm, him shall ye fear, and him shall ye worship, and to him shall ye do sacrifice.

³⁶ Amma Rabbi, nga kaŋ fun d'araŋ Misira laabo ra da dabari bambata da kambe sallanta, nga no araŋ ga humburu. Nga mo no araŋ ga sombu a se; a se mo no araŋ ga sargay te.

³⁷And the statutes, and the ordinances, and the law, and the commandment, which he wrote for you, ye shall observe to do for evermore; and ye shall not fear other gods.

³⁷ A hin sanney d'a farilley d'a asariya d'a lordey, kaŋ yaŋ a hantum araŋ se, araŋ g'i haggoy hal abada, zama araŋ m'i te. Araŋ ma si humburu de-koy fooyaŋ bo.

³⁸And the covenant that I have made with you ye shall not forget; neither shall ye fear other gods.

³⁸ Sappa kaŋ ay te d'araŋ mo, araŋ ma si diny'a bo. Araŋ ma si humburu de-koy fooyaŋ.

³⁹But the LORD your God ye shall fear; and he shall deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies.

³⁹ Amma Rabbi araŋ Irikoyo no araŋ ga humburu. A g'araŋ faaba mo araŋ ibarey kulu kambe ra.»

⁴⁰Howbeit they did not hearken, but they did after their former manner.

⁴⁰ Amma i mana hangan. I goy ngey doŋ alaadey boŋ.

⁴¹So these nations feared the LORD, and served their graven images, both their children, and their children's children: as did their fathers, so do they unto this day.

⁴¹ Dumi woodin yaŋ mo, i humburu Rabbi ka may sooguyaŋ hima-careyaŋ se. Yaadin mo no i izey d'i haamey. Sanda mate kaŋ i kaayey te, yaadin no ngey mo goono ga te hala ka kaa sohõ.
