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

¹[Ny nanjakan'i Hosea, sy ny naharavan'ny fanjakan'ny Isiraely, ary ny fototry ny nahatonga izany] Tamin'ny taona faharoa ambin'ny folo nanjakan'i Ahaza, mpanjakan'ny Joda, no vao nanjakan'i Hosea, zanak'i Elaha, tamin'ny Isiraely tao Samaria; ary nanjaka Sivy taona izy.

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

²Ary nanao izay ratsy eo imason'i Jehovah izy, nefa tsy dia tahaka ny nataon'ny mpanjakan'ny Isiraely teo alohany.

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

³Niakatra hanafika azy Salmanesera, mpanjakan'i Asyria, ka dia tonga mpanompony nandoa hetra ho azy Hosea.[Heb. fanomezana]

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.

⁴Ary ny mpanjakan'i Asyria nahita fa niodina Hosea; fa efa naniraka olona tany amin'i So, mpanjakan'i Egypta, izy sady tsy nanatitra hetra ho an'ny mpanjakan'i Asyria intsony tahaka ny fanaony isan-taona; koa dia nanidy azy ny mpanjakan'i Asyria sy namatotra azy tao an-trano-maizina.

⁵And the king of Assyria overran the whole land, and went up against Samaria, and besieged it three years.

⁵Dia niakatra ny mpanjakan'i Asyria ka nanenika ny tany; ary niakatra tany Samaria izy ka nanao fahirano azy telo taona.

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.

⁶Ary tamin'ny taona fahasivy nanjakan'i Hosea no nahafahan'ny mpanjakan'i Asyria an'i Samaria, dia nentiny ho babo tany Asyria ny Isiraely ka namponeniny tao Hala sy teo amoron'i Habora (dia ny onin'i Gozana izany) ary teny amin'ny tanànan'ny Mediana.

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;

⁷Ary ny nahatongavan'izany dia noho ny nanotan'ny Zanak'Isiraely tamin'i Jehovah Andriamaniny, Izay nitondra azy nivoaka avy tany amin'ny tany Egypta ho afaka tamin'ny tànan'i Farao, mpanjakan'i Egypta, fa natahotra izay andriamani-kafa izy

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.

⁸ka nandeha araka ny fanaon'ny jentilisa izay noroahin'i Jehovah tsy ho eo anoloan'ny Zanak'Isiraely sy araka ny didy izay nataon'ny mpanjakan'ny Isiraely.

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.

⁹Ary ny Zanak'Isiraely dia nanao teny tsy marina ho enti-manakona an'i Jehovah Andriamaniny ka nanao fitoerana avo teny amin'ny tanànany rehetra, dia hatramin'ny tilikambon'ny mpiambina ka hatramin'ny tanàna mimànda.

¹⁰And they set them up columns and Asherahs on every high hill and under every green tree;

¹⁰Ary nanangana tsangam-bato-tsampy sy Aseraha ho azy teny amin'ny tendrombohitra avo rehetra sy teny ambanin'ny hazo maitso rehetra izy;

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;

¹¹ary nandoro ditin-kazo manitra teny amin'ny fitoerana avo rehetra izy, tahaka ny nataon'ny jentilisa izay noroahin'i Jehovah tsy ho eo anoloany, sady nanao zavatra ratsy ka nampahatezitra an'i Jehovah.

¹²and they served idols, as to which Jehovah had said to them, Ye shall not do this thing.

¹²Fa nanompo sampy, izay nandraran'i Jehovah azy hoe: Aza manao izany zavatra izany ianareo.

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.

¹³Nefa ny mpaminany rehetra sy ny mpahita rehetra dia nasain'i Jehovah nananatra ny Isiraely sy ny Joda hoe: Mialà amin'ny lalanareo ratsy, ary tandremo ny lalàko sy ny didiko, araka ny lalàna rehetra izay nandidiako ny razanareo sy izay nanirahako ny mpaminany mpanompoko ho aminareo.

¹⁴But they would not hear, and hardened their necks, like to the neck of their fathers, who did not believe in Jehovah their God.

¹⁴Kanefa tsy nihaino izy, fa nanamafy ny hatony, tahaka ny razany, izay tsy nino an'i Jehovah Andriamaniny.

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.

¹⁵Ary nolaviny ny didiny sy ny fanekeny izay nataony tamin'ny razany mbamin'ny teni-vavolombelony izay nananarany azy; ary nandeha nanaraka ny zava-poana izy, ka dia tonga zava-poana koa ary nanaraka ny jentilisa manodidina azy, izay efa nandraran'i Jehovah azy mba tsy halainy tahaka.

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;

¹⁶Ary nahafoy ny didin'i Jehovah Andriamaniny rehetra izy ka nanao sarin-javatra an-idina ho an'ny tenany, dia ombilahy kely roa, ary nanao Aseraha koa izy sady niankohoka teo anatrehan'izay rehetra eny amin'ny lanitra ary nanompo an'i Bala.

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.

¹⁷Ary nampandeha ny zananilahy sy ny zananivavy hamaky ny afo izy, sady nanao fankatovana sy sikidy ary nivaro-tena hanao izay ratsy eo imason'i Jehovah ka nampahatezitra Azy.

¹⁸Therefore Jehovah was very angry with Israel, and removed them out of his sight: there remained but the tribe of Judah only.

¹⁸Koa dia tezitra indrindra tamin'ny Isiraely Jehovah, dia nesoriny tsy ho eo imasony izy, ka tsy nisy sisa afa-tsy ny firenen'i Joda ihany.

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

¹⁹Ary ny Joda koa aza tsy mba nitandrina ny didin'i Jehovah Andriamaniny, fa nandeha araka izay rehetra nataon'ny Isiraely koa.

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.

²⁰Dia narian'i Jehovah ny taranak'Isiraely rehetra ka nampahoriny sy natolony ho eo an-tànan'ny mpamabo azy mandra-panaisony azy tsy ho eo imasony.

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.

²¹Fa nendahany niala tamin'ny taranak'i Davida ny Isiraely; ary ny olona nampanjaka an'i Jeroboama, zanak'i Nebata; ary Jeroboama dia nampiala ny Isiraely tsy hanaraka an'i Jehovah ka nampanota azy indrindra.

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

²²Ary ny Zanak'Isiraely nandeha tamin'ny fahotana rehetra nataon'i Jeroboama, fa tsy niala tamin'izany izy

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.

²³Mandra-panaisotr'i Jehovah ny Isiraely tsy ho eo anatrehany, araka izay nampilazainy ny mpaminany mpanompony rehetra. Ka dia lasan-ko babo niala tamin'ny taniny ho any Asyria ny Isiraely ka mbola any mandraka androany.

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.

²⁴[Ny nametrahana olona hafa firenena tao amin'ny tany Samaria, sy ny amin'ny fivavahan'ireny] Ary ny mpanjakan'i Asyria nitondra olona avy tany Babylona sy Kota sy Ava sy Hamata sy Sefarvaima ka namponina azy teny amin'ny tanànan'i Samaria nisolo ny Zanak'Isiraely; dia nahazo an'i Samaria ireny ka nitoetra teny amin'ny tanànany.

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.

²⁵Ary raha vao nonina tao ireny, dia tsy natahotra an'i Jehovah; ary Jehovah kosa nampandeha ny liona hamely azy, ka nahafatesan'ireny izy.

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.

²⁶Dia hoy ny olona tamin'ny mpanjakan'i Asyria: Ny firenena izay nafindranao sy namponeninao eny amin'ny tanànan'i Samaria tsy mahalala izay tokony hatao amin'ny Andriamanitry ny tany any, ka dia nampandeha ny liona hamely azy Izy; ary, indro, nahafatesan'ireny izy noho ny tsi-fahalalany ny fanaon'ny Andriamanitry ny tany.

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.

²⁷Ary ny mpanjakan'i Asyria nandidy hoe: Iraho ho any ny anankiray amin'ny mpisorona izay nentinareo ho babo avy tany, ary aoka handeha izy ka hitoetra any, dia aoka hampianatra azy izay tokony hatao amin'ny Andriamanitry ny tany any izy.

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.

²⁸Dia tonga ny mpisorona anankiray avy tamin'izay efa nentiny ho babo avy tany Samaria ka nonina tao Betela, dia nampianatra azy izay fahatahorana an'i Jehovah.

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.

²⁹Kanefa ny isam-pirenena mbola samy nanao ny andriamaniny avy ka nametraka azy tao amin'ny trano eny amin'ny fitoerana avo, izay nataon'ny mponina tao Samaria, eny, ny isam-pirenena dia samy nanao tao amin'ny tanàna nitoerany avy.

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

³⁰Koa ny olona avy any Babylona dia nanao an'i Sokota-benota; ary ny olona avy any Kota nanao an'i Nergala; ary ny olona avy any Hamata nanao an'i Asima;

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

³¹ary ny Avita nanao an'i Nibaza sy Tartaka; ary ny Sefarvita nandoro ny zanany tamin'ny afo ho an'i Adrameleka Anameleka, andriamanitr'i Sefarvaima.

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.

³²Dia natahotra an'i Jehovah ny olona, ary izay avy tamin'ny ankabiazam-bahoaka no notendreny ho mpisorona amin'ny fitoerana avo, ary ireny no nanatitra fanatitra tao amin'ny trano eny amin'ny fitoerana avo nisolo ny vahoaka.

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

³³Jehovah dia natahorany ihany, kanefa mbola nanompo ny andriamaniny avy koa izy araka ny fanaon'ny firenena izay efa nangalana azy avy.

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.

³⁴Mandraka androany dia mbola manao araka ny fanaony teo ihany izy: tsy dia matahotra an'i Jehovah, ary tsy dia manao araka ny fomban-drazany, na araka ny lalàna sy ny didy izay nandidian'i Jehovah ny taranak'i Jakoba, izay nataony hoe Isiraely

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;

³⁵Sady nanaovany fanekena sy nodidiany hoe: Aza matahotra izay andriamani-kafa, na miankohoka eo anatrehany, na manompo azy, na namono zavatra hatao fanaritra ho azy;

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.

³⁶Fa Jehovah, Izay nitondra anareo nivoaka avy tany amin'ny tany Egypta tamin'ny hery lehibe sy ny sandry nahinjitra, dia aoka Izy ihany no hatahoranareo, ary ho eo anatrehany no hiankohofanareo, ary ho Azy no hamonoanareo zavatra hatao fanatitra;

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.

³⁷Ary ny didy sy ny fitsipika sy ny lalàna ary ny teny izay nosoratany ho anareo no aoka hotandremanareo hatao mandrakariva; ary aza matahotra izay andriamani-kafa;

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

³⁸Ary ny fanekena izay nataoko taminareo dia aza hadinoinareo; ary aza matahotra izay andriamani-kafa ianareo;

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

³⁹Fa Jehovah Andriamanitrareo no aoka hatahoranareo; dia Izy no hamonjy anareo amin'ny tanan'ny fahavalonareo rehetra.

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

⁴⁰Nefa tsy nety nihaino izy, fa nanao tahaka ny fanaony taloha ihany.Ka dia natahotra an'i Jehovah ihany ireo firenena ireo, kanefa nanompo ny sarin-javatra voasokitra izy hatramin'ny zanany sy ny zafiny koa aza; tahaka ny fanaon'ny razany ihany no nataon'ireny mandraka androany.

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.

⁴¹Ka dia natahotra an'i Jehovah ihany ireo firenena ireo, kanefa nanompo ny sarin-javatra voasokitra izy hatramin'ny zanany sy ny zafiny koa aza; tahaka ny fanaon'ny razany ihany no nataon'ireny mandraka androany.
