¹في السنة الثانية عشرة لآحاز ملك يهوذا ملك هوشع بن ايلة في السامرة على اسرائيل تسع سنين.

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

²وعمل الشر في عيني الرب ولكن ليس كملوك اسرائيل الذين كانوا قبله.

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

³وصعد عليه شلمنأسر ملك اشور فصار له هوشع عبدا ودفع له جزية.

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

⁴ووجد ملك اشور في هوشع خيانة. لانه ارسل رسلا الى سوا ملك مصر ولم يؤد جزية الى ملك اشور حسب كل سنة فقبض عليه ملك اشور واوثقه في السجن.

⁴And the king of Assyria found 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 shut him up, and bound him in prison.

⁵وصعد ملك اشور على كل الارض وصعد الى السامرة وحاصرها ثلاث سنين.

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

⁶في السنة التاسعة لهوشع اخذ ملك اشور السامرة وسبى اسرائيل الى اشور واسكنهم في حلح وخابور نهر جوزان وفي مدن مادي

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

⁷وكان ان بني اسرائيل اخطأوا الى الرب الههم الذي اصعدهم من ارض مصر من تحت يد فرعون ملك مصر واتقوا آلهة اخرى

⁷And it was so, because the children of Israel had sinned against Jehovah 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,

⁸وسلكوا حسب فرائض الامم الذين طردهم الرب من امام بني اسرائيل وملوك اسرائيل الذين اقاموهم.

⁸and walked in the statutes of the nations, whom Jehovah cast out from before the children of Israel, and of the kings of Israel, which they made.

⁹وعمل بنو اسرائيل سرّا ضد الرب الههم امورا ليست بمستقيمة وبنوا لانفسهم مرتفعات في جميع مدنهم من برج النواطير الى المدينة المحصّنة.

⁹And the children of Israel did secretly things that were not right against Jehovah their God: and they built them high places in all their cities, from the tower of the watchmen to the fortified city;

¹⁰واقاموا لانفسهم انصابا وسواري على كل تل عال وتحت كل شجرة خضراء.

¹⁰and they set them up pillars and Asherim upon every high hill, and under every green tree;

¹¹واوقدوا هناك على جميع المرتفعات مثل الامم الذين ساقهم الرب من امامهم وعملوا امورا قبيحة لاغاظة الرب.

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

¹²وعبدوا الاصنام التي قال الرب لهم عنها لا تعملوا هذا الامر.

¹²and they served idols, whereof Jehovah had said unto them, Ye shall not do this thing.

¹³واشهد الرب على اسرائيل وعلى يهوذا عن يد جميع الانبياء وكل راء قائلا ارجعوا عن طرقكم الرديّة واحفظوا وصاياي فرائضي حسب كل الشريعة التي اوصيت بها آباءكم والتي ارسلتها اليكم عن يد عبيدي الانبياء.

¹³Yet Jehovah testified unto Israel, and unto Judah, by every prophet, and every seer, 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.

¹⁴فلم يسمعوا بل صلّبوا اقفيتهم كاقفية آبائهم الذين لم يؤمنوا بالرب الههم.

¹⁴Notwithstanding, they would not hear, but hardened their neck, like to the neck of their fathers, who believed not in Jehovah their God.

¹⁵ورفضوا فرائضه وعهده الذي قطعه مع آبائهم وشهاداته التي شهد بها عليهم وساروا وراء الباطل وصاروا باطلا ووراء الامم الذين حولهم الذين امرهم الرب ان لا يعملوا مثلهم.

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

¹⁶وتركوا جميع وصايا الرب الههم وعملوا لانفسهم مسبوكات عجلين وعملوا سواري وسجدوا لجميع جند السماء وعبدوا البعل.

¹⁶And they forsook all the commandments of Jehovah their God, and made them molten images, even two calves, and made an Asherah, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served Baal.

¹⁷وعبّروا بنيهم وبناتهم في النار وعرفوا عرافة وتفاءلوا وباعوا انفسهم لعمل الشر في عيني الرب لاغاظته.

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

¹⁸فغضب الرب جدا على اسرائيل ونحّاهم من امامه ولم يبق الا سبط يهوذا وحده.

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

¹⁹ويهوذا ايضا لم يحفظوا وصايا الرب الههم بل سلكوا في فرائض اسرائيل التي عملوها.

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

²⁰فرذل الرب كل نسل اسرائيل واذلهم ودفعهم ليد ناهبين حتى طرحهم من امامه.

²⁰And Jehovah 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.

²¹لانه شق اسرائيل عن بيت داود فملّكوا يربعام بن نباط فابعد يربعام اسرائيل من وراء الرب وجعلهم يخطئون خطية عظيمة.

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

²²وسلك بنو اسرائيل في جميع خطايا يربعام التي عمل. لم يحيدوا عنها

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

²³حتى نحّى الرب اسرائيل من امامه كما تكلم عن يد جميع عبيده الانبياء. فسبي اسرائيل من ارضه الى اشور الى هذا اليوم

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

²⁴واتى ملك اشور بقوم من بابل وكوث وعوّا وحماة وسفروايم واسكنهم في مدن السامرة عوضا عن بني اسرائيل فامتلكوا السامرة وسكنوا في مدنها.

²⁴And the king of Assyria brought men from Babylon, and from Cuthah, and 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 dwelt in the cities thereof.

²⁵وكان في ابتداء سكنهم هناك انهم لم يتقوا الرب فارسل الرب عليهم السباع فكانت تقتل منهم.

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

²⁶فكلموا ملك اشور قائلين. ان الامم الذين سبيتهم واسكنتهم في مدن السامرة لا يعرفون قضاء اله الارض فارسل عليهم السباع فهي تقتلهم لانهم لا يعرفون قضاء اله الارض.

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

²⁷فأمر ملك اشور قائلا ابعثوا الى هناك واحدا من الكهنة الذين سبيتموهم من هناك فيذهب ويسكن هناك ويعلمهم قضاء اله الارض.

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 law of the god of the land.

²⁸فأتى واحد من الكهنة الذين سبوهم من السامرة وسكن في بيت ايل وعلمهم كيف يتقون الرب.

²⁸So one of the priests whom they had carried away from Samaria came and dwelt in Beth-el, and taught them how they should fear Jehovah.

²⁹فكانت كل امّة تعمل آلهتها ووضعوها في بيوت المرتفعات التي عملها السامريون كل امّة في مدنها التي سكنت فيها.

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.

³⁰فعمل اهل بابل سكّوث بنوث. واهل كوث عملوا نرجل واهل حماة عملوا اشيما

³⁰And the men of Babylon made Succoth-benoth, and the men of Cuth made Nergal, and the men of Hamath made Ashima,

³¹والعويون عملوا نبحز وترتاق والسفروايميون كانوا يحرقون بنيهم بالنار لأدرملك وعنمّلك الهي سفروايم.

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

³²فكانوا يتقون الرب ويعملون لانفسهم من اطرافهم كهنة مرتفعات كانوا يقرّبون لاجلهم في بيوت المرتفعات.

³²So they feared Jehovah, and made unto them from among themselves priests of the high places, who sacrificed for them in the houses of the high places.

³³كانوا يتقون الرب ويعبدون آلهتهم كعادة الامم الذين سبوهم من بينهم.

³³They feared Jehovah, and served their own gods, after the manner of the nations from among whom they had been carried away.

³⁴الى هذا اليوم يعملون كعاداتهم الأول. لا يتقون الرب ولا يعملون حسب فرائضهم وعوائدهم ولا حسب الشريعة والوصية التي امر بها الرب بني يعقوب الذي جعل اسمه اسرائيل

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

³⁵وقطع الرب معهم عهدا وامرهم قائلا لا تتقوا آلهة اخرى ولا تسجدوا لها ولا تعبدوها ولا تذبحوا لها.

³⁵with whom Jehovah 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:

³⁶بل انما اتقوا الرب الذي اصعدكم من ارض مصر بقوة عظيمة وذراع ممدودة وله اسجدوا وله اذبحوا.

³⁶but Jehovah, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt with great power and with an outstretched arm, him shall ye fear, and unto him shall ye bow yourselves, and to him shall ye sacrifice:

³⁷واحفظوا الفرائض والاحكام والشريعة والوصية التي كتبها لكم لتعملوا بها كل الايام ولا تتقوا آلهة اخرى.

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:

³⁸ولا تنسوا العهد الذي قطتعه معكم ولا تتقوا آلهة اخرى.

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

³⁹بل انما اتقوا الرب الهكم وهو ينقذكم من ايدي جميع اعدائكم.

³⁹but Jehovah your God shall ye fear; and he will deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies.

⁴⁰فلم يسمعوا بل عملوا حسب عادتهم الاولى.

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

⁴¹فكان هؤلاء الامم يتقون الرب ويعبدون تماثيلهم وايضا بنوهم وبنو بنيهم فكما عمل آباؤهم هم عاملون الى هذا اليوم

⁴¹So these nations feared Jehovah, and served their graven images; their children likewise, and their children's children, as did their fathers, so do they unto this day.
