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, Hoshea the son of Elah began to reign in Samaria over Israel, for nine years.

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

²And he did evil in the sight of Jehovah, but not as the kings of Israel that had been 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 tendered him presents.

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.

⁴But the king of Assyria found conspiracy in Hoshea; for he had sent messengers to So king of Egypt, and sent up no present to the king of Assyria as [he had done] from year to year. And the king of Assyria shut him up and bound him in prison.

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

⁵And the king of Assyria overran the whole land, and went up against 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 into Assyria, and placed them in Halah and by 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 so it was, because the children of Israel had sinned against Jehovah their God, who had 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 they walked in the statutes of the nations that Jehovah had dispossessed from before the children of Israel, and of the kings of Israel, which they had 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 against Jehovah their God things that were not right; and they built them high places in all their cities, from the watchmen's tower to the fortified city.

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

¹⁰And they set them up columns and Asherahs on 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 burned incense on all the high places, as did the nations that Jehovah had carried away from 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, as to which Jehovah had said to 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.

¹³And Jehovah testified against Israel and against Judah, by all the prophets, all the seers, saying, Turn from your evil ways, and keep my commandments, my statutes, according to all the law which I commanded your fathers, and which I sent to you through my servants the prophets.

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

¹⁴But they would not hear, and hardened their necks, like to the neck of their fathers, who did not believe 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 which he had made with their fathers, and his testimonies which he had 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, two calves, and made an Asherah, and worshipped all the host of the heavens, 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 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 remained 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 had 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 Israel had rent [the kingdom] from the house of David; and they had made Jeroboam the son of Nebat king; and Jeroboam violently turned 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 did not depart 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 had removed Israel out of his sight, as he had said through all his servants the prophets; and 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 [people] from Babylon, and from Cuthah, and from Avva, and from Hamath, and from Sepharvaim, and made them dwell in the cities of Samaria instead of the children of Israel; and they possessed Samaria, and dwelt in its cities.

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; and 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.

²⁶And they spoke to the king of Assyria saying, The nations that thou hast removed and made to dwell in the cities of Samaria know not the manner of the god of the land; therefore he has sent lions among them, and behold, they slay them, because they know not the manner 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.

²⁷And the king of Assyria commanded saying, Carry thither one of the priests whom ye have brought away from thence; and let them go and abide there, and let him teach them the manner of the god of the land.

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

²⁸Then one of the priests whom they had carried away from Samaria came and abode in Bethel, 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.

²⁹And every nation made gods of their own, and put them in the houses of the high places that the Samaritans had made, every nation in their cities in which they dwelt.

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

³⁰And the people of Babylon made Succoth-benoth, and the people of Cuth made Nergal, and the people 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 burned 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 to themselves from all classes of them priests of the high places, who offered [sacrifices] 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, whence 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

³⁴To this day they do after their former customs: they fear not Jehovah, neither do they after their statutes or after their ordinances, nor after the law and commandment that Jehovah commanded the sons of Jacob, whom he named Israel.

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

³⁵And Jehovah had made a covenant with them, and charged them saying, Ye shall not fear other gods, nor bow down 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 alone, 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.

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

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

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

⁴⁰فلم يسمعوا بل عملوا حسب عادتهم الاولى.

⁴⁰And they did not hearken, but did after their former customs.

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

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