列王紀下 17
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
Berean Standard Bible
1猶大 王 亞哈斯 十二年， 以拉 的兒子 何細亞 在 撒馬利亞 登基作 以色列 王九年。
1In the twelfth year of the reign of Ahaz over Judah, Hoshea son of Elah became king of Israel, and he reigned in Samaria nine years.
2他行耶和華眼中看為惡的事，只是不像在他以前的 以色列 諸王。
2And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, but not like the kings of Israel who preceded him.
3亞述 王 撒縵以色 上來攻擊 何細亞 ， 何細亞 就服事他，給他進貢。
3Shalmaneser king of Assyria attacked him, and Hoshea became his vassal and paid him tribute.
4何細亞 背叛，差人去見 埃及 王 梭 ，不照往年所行的與 亞述 王進貢。 亞述 王知道了，就把他鎖禁，囚在監裏。
4But the king of Assyria discovered that Hoshea had conspired to send envoys to King So of Egypt, and that he had not paid tribute to the king of Assyria as in previous years. Therefore the king of Assyria arrested Hoshea and put him in prison.
5亞述 王上來攻擊 以色列 遍地，上到 撒馬利亞 ，圍困三年。
5Then the king of Assyria invaded the whole land, marched up to Samaria, and besieged it for three years.
6何細亞 第九年 亞述 王攻取了 撒馬利亞 ，將 以色列 人擄到 亞述 ，把他們安置在 哈臘 與 歌散 的 哈博河 邊，並 米底亞 人的城邑。
6In the ninth year of Hoshea, the king of Assyria captured Samaria and carried away the Israelites to Assyria, where he settled them in Halah, in Gozan by the Habor River, and in the cities of the Medes.
7這是因 以色列 人得罪那領他們出 埃及 地、脫離 埃及 王法老手的耶和華－他們的上帝，去敬畏別神，
7All this happened because the people of Israel had sinned against the LORD their God, who had brought them out of the land of Egypt from under the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt. They had worshiped other gods
8隨從耶和華在他們面前所趕出外邦人的風俗和 以色列 諸王所立的條規。
8and walked in the customs of the nations that the LORD had driven out before the Israelites, as well as in the practices introduced by the kings of Israel.
9以色列 人暗中行不正的事，違背耶和華－他們的上帝，在他們所有的城邑，從瞭望樓直到堅固城，建築邱壇；
9The Israelites secretly did things against the LORD their God that were not right. From watchtower to fortified city, they built high places in all their cities.
10在各高岡上、各青翠樹下立柱像和木偶；
10They set up for themselves sacred pillars and Asherah poles on every high hill and under every green tree.
11在邱壇上燒香，效法耶和華在他們面前趕出的外邦人所行的，又行惡事惹動耶和華的怒氣；
11They burned incense on all the high places like the nations that the LORD had driven out before them. They did wicked things, provoking the LORD to anger.
12且事奉偶像，就是耶和華警戒他們不可行的。
12They served idols, although the LORD had told them, “You shall not do this thing.”
13但耶和華藉眾先知、先見勸戒 以色列 人和 猶大 人說：「當離開你們的惡行，謹守我的誡命律例，遵行我吩咐你們列祖，並藉我僕人眾先知所傳給你們的律法。」
13Yet through all His prophets and seers, the LORD warned Israel and Judah, saying, “Turn from your wicked ways and keep My commandments and statutes, according to the entire Law that I commanded your fathers and delivered to you through My servants the prophets.”
14他們卻不聽從，竟硬着頸項，效法他們列祖，不信服耶和華－他們的上帝，
14But they would not listen, and they stiffened their necks like their fathers, who did not believe the LORD their God.
15厭棄他的律例和他與他們列祖所立的約，並勸戒他們的話，隨從虛無 的神 ，自己成為虛妄，效法周圍的外邦人，就是耶和華囑咐他們不可效法的；
15They rejected His statutes and the covenant He had made with their fathers, as well as the decrees He had given them. They pursued worthless idols and themselves became worthless, going after the surrounding nations that the LORD had commanded them not to imitate.
16離棄耶和華－他們上帝的一切誡命，為自己鑄了兩個牛犢的像，立了 亞舍拉 ，敬拜天上的萬象，事奉 巴力 ，
16They abandoned all the commandments of the LORD their God and made for themselves two cast idols of calves and an Asherah pole. They bowed down to all the host of heaven and served Baal.
17又使他們的兒女經火，用占卜，行法術賣了自己，行耶和華眼中看為惡的事，惹動他的怒氣。
17They sacrificed their sons and daughters in the fire and practiced divination and soothsaying. They devoted themselves to doing evil in the sight of the LORD, provoking Him to anger.
18所以耶和華向 以色列 人大大發怒，從自己面前趕出他們，只剩下 猶大 一個支派。
18So the LORD was very angry with Israel, and He removed them from His presence. Only the tribe of Judah remained,
19猶大 人也不遵守耶和華－他們上帝的誡命，隨從 以色列 人所立的條規。
19and even Judah did not keep the commandments of the LORD their God, but lived according to the customs Israel had introduced.
20耶和華就厭棄 以色列 全族，使他們受苦，把他們交在搶奪他們的人手中，以致趕出他們離開自己面前，
20So the LORD rejected all the descendants of Israel. He afflicted them and delivered them into the hands of plunderers, until He had banished them from His presence.
21將 以色列 國從 大衛 家奪回；他們就立 尼八 的兒子 耶羅波安 作王。 耶羅波安 引誘 以色列 人不隨從耶和華，陷在大罪裏。
21When the LORD had torn Israel away from the house of David, they made Jeroboam son of Nebat king, and Jeroboam led Israel away from following the LORD and caused them to commit a great sin.
22以色列 人犯 耶羅波安 所犯的一切罪，總不離開，
22The Israelites persisted in all the sins that Jeroboam had committed and did not turn away from them.
23以致耶和華從自己面前趕出他們，正如藉他僕人眾先知所說的。這樣， 以色列 人從本地被擄到 亞述 ，直到今日。
23Finally, the LORD removed Israel from His presence, as He had declared through all His servants the prophets. So Israel was exiled from their homeland into Assyria, where they are to this day.
24亞述 王從 巴比倫 、 古他 、 亞瓦 、 哈馬 ，和 西法瓦音 遷移人來，安置在 撒馬利亞 的城邑，代替 以色列 人；他們就得了 撒馬利亞 ，住在其中。
24Then the king of Assyria brought people from Babylon, Cuthah, Avva, Hamath, and Sepharvaim and settled them in the towns of Samaria to replace the Israelites. They took possession of Samaria and lived in its towns.
25他們才住那裏的時候，不敬畏耶和華，所以耶和華叫獅子進入他們中間，咬死了些人。
25Now when the settlers first lived there, they did not worship the LORD, so He sent lions among them, which killed some of them.
26有人告訴 亞述 王說：「你所遷移安置在 撒馬利亞 各城的那些民，不知道那地之神的規矩，所以那神叫獅子進入他們中間，咬死他們。」
26So they spoke to the king of Assyria, saying, “The peoples that you have removed and placed in the cities of Samaria do not know the requirements of the God of the land. Because of this, He has sent lions among them, which are indeed killing them off.”
27亞述 王就吩咐說：「叫所擄來的祭司回去一個，使他住在那裏，將那地之神的規矩指教那些民。」
27Then the king of Assyria commanded: “Send back one of the priests you carried off from Samaria, and have him go back to live there and teach the requirements of the God of the land.”
28於是有一個從 撒馬利亞 擄去的祭司回來，住在 伯特利 ，指教他們怎樣敬畏耶和華。
28Thus one of the priests they had carried away came and lived in Bethel, and he began to teach them how they should worship the LORD.
29然而，各族之人在所住的城裏各為自己製造神像，安置在 撒馬利亞 人所造有邱壇的殿中。
29Nevertheless, the people of each nation continued to make their own gods in the cities where they had settled, and they set them up in the shrines that the people of Samaria had made on the high places.
30巴比倫 人造 疏割‧比訥 像； 古他 人造 匿甲 像； 哈馬 人造 亞示瑪 像；
30The men of Babylon made Succoth-benoth, the men of Cuth made Nergal, the men of Hamath made Ashima,
31亞瓦 人造 匿哈 和 他珥他 像； 西法瓦音 人用火焚燒兒女，獻給 西法瓦音 的神 亞得米勒 和 亞拿米勒 。
31the Avvites made Nibhaz and Tartak, and the Sepharvites burned their children in the fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech the gods of the Sepharvaim.
32他們懼怕耶和華，也從他們中間立邱壇的祭司，為他們在有邱壇的殿中獻祭。
32So the new residents worshiped the LORD, but they also appointed for themselves priests of all sorts to serve in the shrines of the high places.
33他們又懼怕耶和華，又事奉自己的神，從何邦遷移，就隨何邦的風俗。
33They worshiped the LORD, but they also served their own gods according to the customs of the nations from which they had been carried away.
34他們直到如今仍照先前的風俗去行，不 專心 敬畏耶和華，不 全 守自己的規矩、典章，也不遵守耶和華吩咐 雅各 後裔的律法、誡命。（ 雅各 ，就是從前耶和華起名叫 以色列 的。）
34To this day they are still practicing their former customs. None of them worship the LORD or observe the statutes, ordinances, laws, and commandments that the LORD gave the descendants of Jacob, whom He named Israel.
35耶和華曾與他們立約，囑咐他們說：「不可敬畏別神，不可跪拜事奉他，也不可向他獻祭。
35For the LORD had made a covenant with the Israelites and commanded them, “Do not worship other gods or bow down to them; do not serve them or sacrifice to them.
36但那用大能和伸出來的膀臂領你們出 埃及 地的耶和華，你們當敬畏，跪拜，向他獻祭。
36Instead, worship the LORD, who brought you out of the land of Egypt with great power and an outstretched arm. You are to bow down to Him and offer sacrifices to Him.
37他給你們寫的律例、典章、律法、誡命，你們應當永遠謹守遵行，不可敬畏別神。
37And you must always be careful to observe the statutes, ordinances, laws, and commandments He wrote for you. Do not worship other gods.
38我－ 耶和華 與你們所立的約你們不可忘記，也不可敬畏別神。
38Do not forget the covenant I have made with you. Do not worship other gods,
39但要敬畏耶和華－你們的上帝，他必救你們脫離一切仇敵的手。」
39but worship the LORD your God, and He will deliver you from the hands of all your enemies.”
40他們卻不聽從，仍照先前的風俗去行。
40But they would not listen, and they persisted in their former customs.
41如此這些民又懼怕耶和華，又事奉他們的偶像。他們子子孫孫也都照樣行，效法他們的祖宗，直到今日。
41So these nations worshiped the LORD but also served their idols, and to this day their children and grandchildren continue to do as their fathers did.
