1In the twelfth year of Ahaz king of Judah, Hoshea the son of Elah began to reign in Samaria over Israel for nine years.
1Yô cablaju chihab roquic chokß xreyeb laj Judá laj Acaz nak laj Oseas li ralal laj Ela qui-oc chokß xreyeb laj Israel. Belêb chihab quicuan chokß rey aran Samaria.
2He did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, yet not as the kings of Israel who were before him.
2Laj Oseas quixbânu li incßaß us chiru li Kâcuaß. Abanan incßaß quinumta lix mâusilal joß xmâusilaleb lix reyeb laj Israel li queßcuan xbên cua.
3Against him came up Shalmaneser king of Assyria; and Hoshea became his servant, and brought him tribute.
3Laj Salmanasar lix reyeb laj Asiria quipletic riqßuin laj Oseas ut quirêchani li plêt. Joßcan nak laj Oseas quicßanjelac chiru ut quixtoj rix lix naßajeb.
4The 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.
4Saß jun li cutan laj Salmanasar lix reyeb laj Asiria quixqßue retal nak laj Oseas yô chixbalakßinquil xban nak naxtaklaheb lix takl riqßuin laj So lix reyeb laj Egipto ut incßaß chic naxtakla lix toj rajlal chihab joß naxbânu. Joßcan nak lix reyeb laj Asiria quixtakla xchapbal laj Oseas ut quixqßue saß tzßalam.
5Then the king of Assyria came up throughout all the land, and went up to Samaria, and besieged it three years.
5Chirix aßan lix reyeb laj Asiria qui-oc chi pletic riqßuineb laj Israel. Oxib chihab quipletic riqßuineb li cuanqueb Samaria.
6In the ninth year of Hoshea the king of Assyria took Samaria, and carried Israel away to Assyria, and placed them in Halah, and on the Habor, the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes.
6Yô chic xbele chihab roquic laj Oseas chokß xreyeb laj Israel nak lix reyeb laj Asiria quirêchani li tenamit Samaria ut quixcßameb chi prêxil laj Israel aran Asiria. Cuan li quixcanabeb saß li naßajej Halah. Cuan li quixcanabeb saß li naßajej Habor li cuan nachß riqßuin li nimaß Gozán. Ut cuan ajcuiß li quixcanabeb saß eb li tenamit li cuanqueb saß xcuênt li tenamit Medo.
7It was so, because the children of Israel had sinned against Yahweh 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,
7Queßxcßul chi joßcan eb laj Israel xban nak queßmâcob chiru li Kâcuaß Dios li qui-isin chak reheb rubel xcuanquil laj faraón aran Egipto. Ut queßxlokßoniheb li jalanil dios.
8and walked in the statutes of the nations, whom Yahweh cast out from before the children of Israel, and of the kings of Israel, which they made.
8Eb laj Israel queßxbânu li incßaß us joß queßxbânu li jalaneb xtenamit li queßisîc xban li Dios saß li naßajej li queßoc cuiß. Ut queßxbânu ajcuiß li incßaß us li queßcßameß cuiß xbeheb xbaneb li rey li queßcuan aran Israel.
9The children of Israel did secretly things that were not right against Yahweh their God: and they built them high places in all their cities, from the tower of the watchmen to the fortified city;
9Eb laj Israel queßxbânu chi mukmu li incßaß quicuulac chiru li Kâcuaß lix Dioseb. Queßxyîb li naßajej re xlokßoninquileb li yîbanbil Dios saß chixjunileb li tenamit. Ut queßxyîb ajcuiß saß eb li cocß cab najt xteram li nequeßcuan cuiß li nequeßiloc re li tenamit, joß eb ajcuiß li tenamit li cauresinbileb re xcolbaleb rib.
10and they set them up pillars and Asherim on every high hill, and under every green tree;
10Ut queßxyîb lix jalam ûch lix Asera lix dioseb ut queßxqßue saß eb li tzûl ut queßxqßue ajcuiß rubeleb li cheß li nînk xmuheb. Ut queßxxakab ajcuiß li okech yîbanbil riqßuin pec re xlokßoninquil lix dioseb.
11and there they burnt incense in all the high places, as did the nations whom Yahweh carried away before them; and they worked wicked things to provoke Yahweh to anger;
11Ut queßxcßat li pom saß eb li naßajej li najt xteram li queßxyîb re xlokßoninquil li yîbanbil dios joß queßxbânu li tenamit li queßisîc saß li naßajej aßan xban li Kâcuaß Dios. Riqßuin li mâusilal queßxbânu, queßxchikß xjoskßil li Dios.
12and they served idols, of which Yahweh had said to them, “You shall not do this thing.”
12Eb aßan queßxlokßoni li jalanil dios usta li Kâcuaß Dios quixye nak incßaß teßxlokßoni.
13Yet Yahweh testified to Israel, and to Judah, by every prophet, and every seer, saying, “Turn 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.”
13Li Kâcuaß quixtaklaheb lix profeta ut eb lix takl riqßuineb laj Israel ut riqßuineb laj Judá. Queßxye chi joßcaßin: —Canabomak xbânunquil li mâusilal. Chebânuhak ban li cßaßru naxye li chakßrab li quixqßue li Dios reheb lê xeßtônil yucuaß. Chebânuhak chixjunil li cßaßru xextaklâc cuiß, chanqueb li profetas laj cßanjel chiru li Kâcuaß.
14Notwithstanding, they would not listen, but hardened their neck, like the neck of their fathers, who didn’t believe in Yahweh their God.
14Abanan eb aßan incßaß queßabin. Queßxcacuubresi ban lix chßôleb joß queßxbânu lix xeßtônil xyucuaßeb. Incßaß queßxcßojob xchßôl riqßuin li Dios.
15They rejected his statutes, and his covenant that he made with their fathers, and his testimonies which he testified to them; and they followed vanity, and became vain, and followed the nations that were around them, concerning whom Yahweh had commanded them that they should not do like them.
15Queßxtzßektâna ban li chakßrab li quixqßue li Dios ut queßxtzßektâna ajcuiß li contrato li quixbânu li Dios riqßuineb lix xeßtônil xyucuaßeb. Queßxkßet li râtin li Dios ut queßxlokßoniheb li yîbanbil dios li mâcßaß na-oc cuiß. Joßcan nak eb aßan queßcana chi mâcßaß nequeßoc cuiß xban nak queßxbânu joß nequeßxbânu li jalan tenamit li cuanqueb chi nachß riqßuineb, usta li Dios quixye nak incßaß teßxbânu.
16They forsook all the commandments of Yahweh their God, and made them molten images, even two calves, and made an Asherah, and worshiped all the army of the sky, and served Baal.
16Queßxtzßektâna chixjunil li chakßrab li quiqßueheß reheb xban li Kâcuaß lix Dioseb. Ut queßxyîb riqßuin li chßîchß cuib xjalam ûch li cuacax ut queßxlokßoni. Queßxyîb lix jalam ûch lix Asera lix dioseb. Ut queßxlokßoni ajcuiß laj Baal ut eb li chahim, li sakße ut li po.
17They 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 Yahweh, to provoke him to anger.
17Queßxcßat li ralal xcßajoleb chokß xmayejeb chiru li yîbanbil dios. Queßcôeb chi patzßoc riqßuineb laj kße ut riqßuineb laj tûl. Ut junes li mâusilal queßxqßue xchßôl chixbânunquil. Joßcan nak queßxchikß xjoskßil li Dios.
18Therefore Yahweh was very angry with Israel, and removed them out of his sight: there was none left but the tribe of Judah only.
18Cßajoß nak quichal xjoskßil li Dios saß xbêneb laj Israel xban li mâusilal queßxbânu. Joßcan nak quirisiheb saß lix naßajeb. Caßaj chic eb li ralal xcßajol laj Judá queßcana saß li naßajej aßan.
19Also Judah didn’t keep the commandments of Yahweh their God, but walked in the statutes of Israel which they made.
19Abanan chi moco eb li ralal xcßajol laj Judá queßxbânu li cßaßru naxye saß li chakßrab li quiqßueheß reheb xban li Kâcuaß lix Dioseb. Queßxqßue ban xcuanquil li chakßrab li quiqßueheß xbaneb li ralal xcßajol laj Israel.
20Yahweh 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.
20Joßcan nak li Kâcuaß quixtzßektânaheb chixjunileb laj Israel. Quixtakla li raylal saß xbêneb ut quixcanabeb saß rukßeb li xicß nequeßiloc reheb toj retal nak queßisîc saß lix naßajeb.
21For he tore Israel from the house of David; and they made Jeroboam the son of Nebat king: and Jeroboam drove Israel from following Yahweh, and made them sin a great sin.
21Nak li Kâcuaß quirisiheb li ralal xcßajol laj Israel saß xyânkeb li ralal xcßajol laj David, eb laj Israel queßxxakab laj Jeroboam li ralal laj Nabat chokß xreyeb. Ut laj Jeroboam, aßan li quiqßuehoc reheb laj Israel chixtzßektânanquil li Kâcuaß ut kßaxal nimla mâc queßxbânu.
22The children of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam which he did; they didn’t depart from them;
22Eb li ralal xcßajol laj Israel queßxbânu li mâusilal li quixbânu li rey Jeroboam ut incßaß queßxcanab mâcobc chiru li Dios,
23until Yahweh removed Israel out of his sight, as he spoke by all his servants the prophets. So Israel was carried away out of their own land to Assyria to this day.
23toj retal nak li Dios quixcanabeb re nak teßchapekß xbaneb jalan tenamit joß quiyeheß reheb xbaneb lix profeta li Dios. Joßcan nak queßchapeß ut queßcßameß Asiria. Ut aran cuanqueb toj chalen anakcuan.
24The 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 lived in the cities of it.
24Lix reyeb laj Asiria quixcßameb laj Babilonia aran Israel. Quixcßameb laj Cuta, eb laj Ava ut eb laj Hamat, joß eb ajcuiß laj Sefarvaim. Quixqßueheb chi cuânc saß eb li tenamit li cuanqueb saß xcuênt Samaria saß lix naßajeb laj Israel.
25So it was, at the beginning of their dwelling there, that they didn’t fear Yahweh: therefore Yahweh sent lions among them, which killed some of them.
25Nak queßxtiquib cuânc aran eb li cristian incßaß queßxlokßoni li Kâcuaß. Joßcan nak li Kâcuaß quixtaklaheb li cakcoj chixcamsinquileb.
26Therefore they spoke to the king of Assyria, saying, “The nations which you have carried away, and placed in the cities of Samaria, don’t know the law of the god of the land. Therefore he has sent lions among them, and behold, they kill them, because they don’t know the law of the god of the land.”
26Quiyeheß re lix reyeb laj Asiria: —Eb li cristian li xataklaheb chi cuânc Samaria incßaß nequeßxnau xlokßoninquil li Dios li queßxlokßoniheb laj Israel li queßcuan Samaria. Xban nak incßaß yôqueb chixbânunquil li naraj li Kâcuaß lix Dioseb, joßcan nak quixtaklaheb li cakcoj chixcamsinquileb.—
27Then the king of Assyria commanded, saying, “Carry there one of the priests whom you brought from there; and let them go and dwell there, and let him teach them the law of the god of the land.”
27Ut lix reyeb laj Asiria quixye: —Sicßomak chak junak aj tij li xecßam chak Samaria. Li jun aßan tâxic cuißchic Samaria. Tâcuânk aran ut tixcßut chiruheb chanru xlokßoninquil li Kâcuaß lix Dioseb laj Israel, chan.
28So one of the priests whom they had carried away from Samaria came and lived in Bethel, and taught them how they should fear Yahweh.
28Joßcan nak queßxtakla jun reheb laj tij li qui-isîc Samaria chi cuânc Bet-el re tixcßut chiruheb li tenamit chanru nak teßxlokßoni li Kâcuaß.
29However 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 in which they lived.
29Abanan li junjûnk chi tenamit queßxyîb lix dioseb ut queßxqßue saß eb li cab li queßxyîb laj Israel saß eb li naßajej li najt xteram aran Samaria.
30The men of Babylon made Succoth Benoth, and the men of Cuth made Nergal, and the men of Hamath made Ashima,
30Eb li queßchal Babilonia queßxyîb xjalam ûch laj Sucot-benot. Eb li queßchal Cuta queßxyîb xjalam ûch laj Nergal. Ut eb li queßchal Hamat queßxyîb xjalam ûch laj Asima.
31and the Avvites made Nibhaz and Tartak; and the Sepharvites burnt their children in the fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech, the gods of Sepharvaim.
31Eb laj aveo queßxyîb xjalam ûch laj Nibhaz ut laj Tartac. Ut eb li queßchal Sefarvaim queßxcßat li ralal xcßajoleb chokß xmayejeb re xlokßoninquil laj Adramelec ut laj Anamelec li cuib chi xdioseb laj Sefarvaim.
32So they feared Yahweh, and made to them from among themselves priests of the high places, who sacrificed for them in the houses of the high places.
32Queßxlokßoni li Kâcuaß, abanan moco anchaleb ta xchßôl. Queßxxakab yalak ani chi cßanjelac chokß aj tij saß eb li naßajej li najt xteram li queßxlokßoni cuiß lix dioseb.
33They feared Yahweh, and served their own gods, after the ways of the nations from among whom they had been carried away.
33Yôqueb chixqßuebal xlokßal li Kâcuaß, abanan yôqueb ajcuiß chixqßuebal xlokßal lix dioseb joß cßaynakeb chixbânunquil saß eb li tenamit li queßchal cuiß chak.
34To this day they do what they did before: they don’t fear Yahweh, neither do they follow their statutes, or their ordinances, or the law or the commandment which Yahweh commanded the children of Jacob, whom he named Israel;
34Toj chalen anakcuan nequeßxbânu joß queßxbânu chak najter. Incßaß nequeßxlokßoni li Kâcuaß chi moco nequeßxbânu li chakßrab ut li xtaklanquil, chi moco nequeßxbânu li cßaßru quixye li Kâcuaß reheb li ralal xcßajol laj Jacob, li quixqßue “aj Israel” chokß xcßabaß.
35with whom Yahweh had made a covenant, and commanded them, saying, “You shall not fear other gods, nor bow yourselves to them, nor serve them, nor sacrifice to them;
35Nak li Kâcuaß quixbânu li contrato riqßuineb laj Israel quixchakßrabiheb ut quixye reheb: —Mêlokßoni li jalanil dios, chi moco têcuikßib êrib chiruheb. Incßaß texcßanjelak chiruheb chi moco texmayejak chiruheb.
36but you shall fear Yahweh, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt with great power and with an outstretched arm, and you shall bow yourselves to him, and you shall sacrifice to him.
36Lâin li Kâcuaß. Lâin quin-isin chak êre saß li naßajej Egipto riqßuin xnimal incuanquil ut riqßuin sachba chßôlej. Caßaj cuiß lâin têxucua cuu. Tinêlokßoni ut texmayejak chicuu.
37The statutes and the ordinances, and the law and the commandment, which he wrote for you, you shall observe to do forevermore. You shall not fear other gods.
37Junelic têbânu li cßaßru xinye êre. Têbânu li chakßrab xinqßue êre. Têbânu chixjunil li nacuaj joß tzßîbanbil retalil. Ut mêlokßoni li jalanil dios.
38You shall not forget the covenant that I have made with you; neither shall you fear other gods.
38Misach saß êchßôl li contrato li xinbânu êriqßuin. Ut mêlokßoni li jalanil dios.
39But you shall fear Yahweh your God; and he will deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies.”
39Chexucua ban cuu lâin li Kâcuaß, lê Dios. Lâin li Kâcuaß tincolok êre saß rukßeb li xicß nequeßiloc êre, chan li Dios.
40However they did not listen, but they did what they did before.
40Abanan eb li tenamit aßan incßaß queßxbânu joß quixye li Kâcuaß.

41So these nations feared Yahweh, and served their engraved images. Their children likewise, and their children’s children, as their fathers did, so they do to this day.
41Yôqueb chixlokßoninquil li Kâcuaß, abanan moco anchaleb ta xchßôl xban nak toj yôqueb chixlokßoninquileb li yîbanbil dios. Ut toj chalen anakcuan eb li ralal xcßajol nequeßxbânu joß queßxbânu lix xeßtônil xyucuaßeb.
