列王紀下 17
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
World English 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 Ahaz king of Judah, Hoshea the son of Elah began to reign in Samaria over Israel for 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。
2He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, yet not as the kings of Israel who were before 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 came up against him; and Hoshea became his servant, and brought 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。
4The king of Assyria discovered a 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 seized him, and bound 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 came up throughout all the land, went up to Samaria, and besieged it 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 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.
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，
7It was so because the children of Israel had sinned against the LORD 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,
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 statutes of the nations whom the LORD cast out from before the children of Israel, and of the kings of Israel, which they made.
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 children of Israel secretly did things that were not right against the LORD their God; and they built high places for themselves in all their cities, from the tower of the watchmen to the fortified city;
10在各高岡上、各青翠樹下立柱像和木偶；
10and they set up for themselves 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；
11and there they burned incense in all the high places, as the nations whom the LORD carried away before them did; and they did wicked things to provoke the LORD to anger;
12且事奉偶像，就是耶和華警戒他們不可行的。
12and they served idols, of which the LORD had said to 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 the LORD 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.”
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，
14Notwithstanding, they would not listen, but hardened their neck like the neck of their fathers who didn’t believe in 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 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 the LORD had commanded them that they should not do like them.
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 molten images for themselves, even two calves, and made an Asherah, and worshiped all the army of the sky, 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 caused their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire, used divination and enchantments, and sold themselves to do that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, to provoke 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。
18Therefore the LORD was very angry with Israel, and removed them out of his sight. There was none left but the tribe of Judah only.
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。
19Also Judah didn’t keep the commandments of the LORD their God, but walked in the statutes of Israel which they made.
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，
20The LORD rejected all the offspring of Israel, afflicted them, and delivered them into the hands of raiders, until he had cast them out of his sight.
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。
21For he tore Israel from David’s house; and they made Jeroboam the son of Nebat king; and Jeroboam drove Israel from following the LORD, and made them sin a great sin.
22以色列 人犯 耶羅波安 所犯的一切罪，總不離開，
22The children of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam which he did; they didn’t depart 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。
23until the LORD removed Israel out of his sight, as he said by all his servants the prophets. So Israel was carried away out of their own land to Assyria 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。
24The king of Assyria brought people from Babylon, from Cuthah, 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 its cities.
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。
25So it was, at the beginning of their dwelling there, that they didn’t fear the LORD. Therefore the LORD 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。」
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.”
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, saying, “Carry there one of the priests whom you brought from there; and let him go and dwell there, and let him teach them the law 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。
28So one of the priests whom they had carried away from Samaria came and lived in Bethel, and taught them how they should fear 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。
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.
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, and the men of Cuth made Nergal, and 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 。
31and the Avvites made Nibhaz and Tartak; and the Sepharvites burned their children in the fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech, the gods of 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 they feared the LORD, and also made from among themselves priests of the high places for themselves, who sacrificed for them in the houses 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 feared the LORD, and also served their own gods, after the ways of the nations from among whom 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 do what they did before. They don’t fear the LORD, and they do not follow the statutes, or the ordinances, or the law, or the commandment which the LORD commanded the children 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。
35with whom the LORD 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;
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。
36but you shall fear the LORD, 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.
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。
37The statutes and the ordinances, and the law and the commandment which he wrote for you, you shall observe to do forever more. You shall not fear 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。
38You shall not forget the covenant that I have made with you. You shall not fear 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 you shall fear the LORD your God, and he will deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies.”
40他們卻不聽從，仍照先前的風俗去行。
40However they didn’t listen, but they did what they did before.
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 feared the LORD, and also served their engraved images. Their children did likewise, and so did their children’s children. They do as their fathers did to this day.
