II Kings 17

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

Wa Akaz t'ap mache sou douzan depi li t'ap gouvènen peyi Jida lè Oze, pitit Ela, moute wa nan peyi Izrayèl. Li gouvènen nan lavil Samari pandan nevan.

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

Li fè sa ki mal nan je Seyè a, men tansèlman pa tankou lòt wa ki te gouvènen peyi Izrayèl la anvan l' yo.

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

Salmanaza, wa peyi Lasiri a, atake Oze. Oze soumèt devan l'. Li peye l' yon lajan chak lanne.

And the king of Assyria found conspiracy in Hoshea: for he had sent messengers to So king of Egypt, and brought no present 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.

Men, Salmanaza vin dekouvri Oze t'ap moute konplo sou do l'. Oze te voye mesaje bò kot So, wa peyi Lejip, pou mande l' konkou. Lèfini, li te sispann voye lajan li te gen pou l' peye wa peyi Lasiri a chak lanne. Se konsa Salmanaza fè arete Oze, mete l' nan prizon ak chenn nan pye l'.

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

Salmanaza anvayi peyi Izrayèl la. Li sènen lavil Samari pandan twazan.

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

Oze te gen nevan depi li te wa lè wa Lasiri a pran lavil Samari. Salmanaza fè tout pèp Izrayèl la prizonye, li depòte yo nan peyi Lasiri. Li mete yon pati ladan yo lavil Ala, toupre larivyè Abò nan zòn Gozan, yon pati nan lavil peyi Medi yo.

For so it was, that the children of Israel had sinned against the LORD their God, which had brought them up out of the land of Egypt, from under the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and had feared other gods,

Sa te rive konsa paske moun peyi Izrayèl yo te fè peche kont Seyè a, Bondye yo a, ki te fè yo soti kite peyi Lejip, ki te delivre yo anba men farawon an, wa peyi Lejip la. Yo t'ap sèvi lòt bondye.

And walked in the statutes of the heathen, whom the LORD cast out from before the children of Israel, and of the kings of Israel, which they had made.

Yo t'ap swiv mès moun lòt nasyon Seyè a te mete deyò nan peyi a pou fè plas pou yo. Yo t'ap mache dapre lòt vye prensip wa Izrayèl yo te ba yo.

And the children of Israel did secretly those things that were not right against the LORD their God, and they built them high places in all their cities, from the tower of the watchmen to the fenced city.

Lèfini, moun peyi Izrayèl yo te fè yon bann bagay yo pa t' dwe fè devan Seyè a. Yo bati tanp pou zidòl nan tout lavil yo, depi nan ti bouk kote ki gen avanpòs pou faksyonnè rive nan gwo lavil ak ranpa yo.

And they set them up images and groves in every high hill, and under every green tree:

Sou tout mòn, anba tout gwo pyebwa, yo kanpe gwo wòch ak estati pou Achera, zidòl fanm lan.

And there they burnt incense in all the high places, as did the heathen whom the LORD carried away before them; and wrought wicked things to provoke the LORD to anger:

Yo boule lansan sou tout lotèl zidòl yo tankou moun Seyè a te mete deyò nan peyi a te konn fè. Yo fè yon bann bagay derespektan ki lakòz Seyè a te fache anpil.

For they served idols, whereof the LORD had said unto them, Ye shall not do this thing.

Yo adore zidòl, bagay Seyè a te ba yo lòd pa fè.

Yet the LORD testified against Israel, and against Judah, by all the prophets, and by all the seers, 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.

Seyè a te voye mesaje ak pwofèt li yo avèti moun peyi Izrayèl yo ansanm ak moun peyi Jida yo. Li te byen di yo: Manyè kite move chemen n'ap swiv la! Fè sa m' mande nou fè. Kenbe lòd mwen yo jan sa ye nan lalwa mwen te bay zansèt nou yo, lalwa mwen te fè pwofèt yo, sèvitè m' yo, moutre nou an.

Notwithstanding they would not hear, but hardened their necks, like to the neck of their fathers, that did not believe in the LORD their God.

Men, yo pa koute l', yo fè tèt di tankou zansèt yo ki pa t' mete konfyans yo nan Seyè a, Bondye yo a.

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

Yo derefize kenbe lòd li yo, yo pa respekte kontra li te pase ak zansèt yo. Yo pa okipe avètisman li te ba yo, yo pran sèvi zidòl ki pa vo anyen. Yo menm, yo pèdi valè yo. Yo pran fè tankou lòt nasyon k'ap viv bò kote yo t'ap fè, yo dezobeyi lòd Seyè a ki te di yo pa fè sa.

And they left all the commandments of the LORD their God, and made them molten images, even two calves, and made a grove, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served Baal.

Yo lage tout kòmandman Seyè a, Bondye yo a, te ba yo. Yo fè de estati towo an kwiv pou yo sèvi ak yon pòtre Achera, zidòl fanm lan, yo sèvi zetwal nan syèl la ansanm ak Baal.

And 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 the LORD, to provoke him to anger.

Yo bay pitit fi ak pitit gason yo pou boule pou bondye lòt nasyon yo, y' al dèyè divinò ak chòche. Yo vann tèt yo, yo lage kò yo nan fè sa ki mal nan je Seyè a, pou yo te ka fè l' move jouk li pa kapab ankò.

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

Se konsa Seyè a fè yon sèl move sou pèp Izrayèl la, li wete yo devan je l'. Pa rete pase branch fanmi Jida a.

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

Men, ata moun peyi Jida yo tou pa t' kenbe lòd Seyè a, Bondye yo a. Yo t'ap fè tankou moun peyi Izrayèl yo. Yo t'ap fè tout vye bagay moun peyi Izrayèl yo te ranmase.

And the LORD 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.

Se poutèt sa Seyè a vire do bay dènye moun nan ras Izrayèl la. Li fè yo wont, li lage yo nan men yon bann piyajè, jouk li wete yo devan je l'.

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

Li separe pèp la, li mete moun peyi Izrayèl yo yon bò, moun fanmi David yo yon bò. Moun peyi Izrayèl yo pran Jewoboram, pitit Nebat, yo mete l' wa pou gouvènen yo. Jewoboram lakòz yo kite chimen Seyè a nèt. Li fè yo fè pi gwo peche toujou.

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

Moun peyi Izrayèl yo pran fè tankou Jewoboram, yo donnen ladan l' san rete.

Until the LORD removed Israel out of his sight, as he had said by all his servants the prophets. So was Israel carried away out of their own land to Assyria unto this day.

Bout pou bout, Seyè a wete yo nèt devan je l', jan li te voye sèvitè l' yo, pwofèt yo avèti yo a. Se konsa yo depòte moun peyi Izrayèl yo byen lwen nan peyi Lasiri kote yo ye jouk jounen jòdi a.

And the king of Assyria brought men from Babylon, and from Cuthah, and from Ava, and from Hamath, and from 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.

Wa peyi Lasiri a pran moun lavil Babilòn, moun lavil Kout, moun lavil Ava, moun lavil Ama ak moun lavil Sefavayim, li voye yo al rete nan lavil peyi Samari nan plas moun Izrayèl li te fè depòte yo. Moun yo pran peyi Samari a pou yo, y' al rete nan tout lavil yo.

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

Moun sa yo pa t' nan sèvi Seyè a. Konsa, lè yo fèk vin tabli nan peyi a, Seyè a voye lyon ki touye kèk ladan yo.

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

Yo voye di wa peyi Lasiri a: Moun ou te voye vin rete lavil peyi Samari yo pa konnen jan pou yo sèvi Bondye peyi a. Se konsa bondye peyi a voye lyon k'ap fini ak yo.

Then 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 manner of the God of the land.

Lè sa a, wa peyi Lasiri a bay lòd sa a: Pran yonn nan prèt nou te fè prizonye yo, voye l' tounen al viv laba a pou l' ka moutre moun yo jan pou yo sèvi bondye peyi a.

Then one of the priests whom they had carried away from Samaria came and dwelt in Beth–el, and taught them how they should fear the LORD.

Se konsa yonn nan prèt yo te depòte yo tounen nan peyi Samari, l' al rete lavil Betèl, li moutre yo jan pou yo fè sèvis pou Seyè a.

Howbeit 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.

Men, chak nasyon te fè bondye pa yo nan lavil kote yo te rete a, yo mete yo nan tanp ansyen moun peyi Izrayèl yo te bati pou zidòl yo.

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

Moun lavil Babilòn yo te fè pòtre Soukòt Benòt. Moun lavil Kout yo te fè pòtre Negal. Moun lavil Amat yo te fè pòtre Asima.

And the Avites made Nibhaz and Tartak, and the Sepharvites burnt their children in fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech, the gods of Sepharvaim.

Moun lavil Ava yo te fè pòtre Nibaz ak Tatak. Moun lavil Sefavayim yo ofri pitit yo pou boule pou Adramelèk ak Anamelèk, bondye pa yo.

So they feared the LORD, and made unto themselves of the lowest of them priests of the high places, which sacrificed for them in the houses of the high places.

Kifè yo t'ap sèvi Seyè a, men an menm tan yo chwazi moun nan mitan yo pou sèvi prèt zidòl yo, pou fè sèvis pou yo nan tanp zidòl yo.

They feared the LORD, and served their own gods, after the manner of the nations whom they carried away from thence.

Se konsa yo t'ap adore Seyè a men yo t'ap adore bondye pa yo tou, dapre koutim peyi kote yo te soti.

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

Jouk jounen jòdi a y'ap fè sa yo te konn fè a. Men, yo pa adore Seyè a, yo pa fè sa li mande nan lalwa ak kòmandman li te bay moun fanmi Jakòb yo swiv. Se Jakòb sa a Bondye sèl Mèt la te bay yon lòt non, li te rele l' Izrayèl.

With whom the LORD 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:

Seyè a te pase yon kontra ak pitit Jakòb yo, li te ba yo lòd sa a: Pa sèvi lòt bondye, pa mete jenou atè devan yo. Pa fè sèvis pou yo, pa ofri ankenn bèt pou touye pou yo.

But the LORD, 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.

Se mwen menm Seyè a pou nou sèvi, mwen menm Bondye nou an ki te fè nou soti kite peyi Lejip ak gwo kouraj mwen, ak fòs ponyèt mwen. Se mwen menm sèlman pou nou sèvi, pou nou adore. Se pou mwen ase pou nou ofri bèt pou touye.

And 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.

Se pou nou toujou kenbe prensip ak regleman, lòd ak kòmandman mwen te ekri ban nou pou nou te ka swiv yo chak jou. Piga nou gen krentif pou bondye lòt nasyon yo.

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

Piga nou bliye kontra mwen te pase ak nou an. Piga nou gen krentif pou bondye lòt nasyon yo.

But the LORD your God ye shall fear; and he shall deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies.

Se mwen menm ase, Seyè a, Bondye nou an, pou nou sèvi, m'a delivre nou anba men lènmi nou yo.

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

Men, moun yo pa koute m', yo toujou ap fè sa yo te konn fè anvan an.

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

Konsa moun nasyon sa yo t'ap sèvi Seyè a, men yo te toujou ap sèvi zidòl pa yo tou. Pitit yo ak pitit pitit yo ap fè tankou papa yo jouk jounen jòdi a.
