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

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

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.

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.

⁵And the king of Assyria overran the whole land, and went up against 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 by the Habor, 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.

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;

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 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.

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 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.

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 columns and Asherahs on 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 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;

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.

¹²and they served idols, as to which Jehovah had said to 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!»

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.

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.»

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

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 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;

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 Jehovah, 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 Jehovah was very angry with Israel, and removed them out of his sight: there remained 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 Jehovah their God, but walked in the statutes of Israel which they had made.

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

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.

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 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.

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.

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

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

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.

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 [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 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 Jehovah; and Jehovah sent lions among them, which killed [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.

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.

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.»

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.

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 abode in Bethel, and taught them how they should fear Jehovah.

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.

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.

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

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

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 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.

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

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

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.

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,

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;

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 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.

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 ye shall not forget the covenant that I have made with you, 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 ye shall fear Jehovah your God, 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.»

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

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

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.

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.
