1In the twelfth year of Achaz king of Juda, Osee the son of Ela reigned in Samaria over Israel nine years.
1ΕΝ ἔτει δωδεκάτῳ τοῦ Ἄχαζ βασιλέως Ἰούδα ἐβασίλευσεν Ὡσηὲ υἱὸς Ἠλὰ ἐν Σαμαρείᾳ ἐπὶ Ἰσραὴλ ἐννέα ἔτη.
2And he did evil before the Lord: but not as the kings of Israel that had been before him.
2καὶ ἐποίησε τὸ πονηρὸν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς Κυρίου, πλὴν οὐχ ὡς οἱ βασιλεῖς Ἰσραήλ, οἳ ἦσαν ἔμπροσθεν αὐτοῦ.
3Against him came up Salmanasar king of the Assyrians, and Osee became his servant, and paid him tribute.
3ἐπ᾿ αὐτὸν ἀνέβη Σαλαμανασὰρ βασιλεὺς Ἀσσυρίων, καὶ ἐγενήθη αὐτῷ Ὡσηὲ δοῦλος καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν αὐτῷ μαναά.
4And when the king of the Assyrians found that Osee endeavouring to rebel had sent messengers to Sua the king of Egypt, that he might not pay tribute to the king of the Assyrians, as he had done every year, he besieged him, bound him, and cast him into prison,
4καὶ εὗρε βασιλεὺς Ἀσσυρίων ἐν τῷ Ὡσηὲ ἀδικίαν, ὅτι ἀπέστειλεν ἀγγέλους πρὸς Σηγὼρ βασιλέα Αἰγύπτου καὶ οὐκ ἤνεγκε μαναὰ τῷ βασιλεῖ Ἀσσυρίων ἐν τῷ ἐνιαυτῷ ἐκείνῳ, καὶ ἐπολιόρκησεν αὐτὸν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἀσσυρίων καὶ ἔδησεν αὐτὸν ἐν οἴκῳ φυλακῆς.
5And he went through all the land: and going up to Samaria, he besieged it three years.
5καὶ ἀνέβη ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἀσσυρίων ἐν πάσῃ τῇ γῇ καὶ ἀνέβη εἰς Σαμάρειαν, καὶ ἐπολιόρκησεν ἐπ᾿ αὐτὴν τρία ἔτη.
6And in the ninth year of Osee, the king of the Assyrians took Samaria, and carried Israel away to Assyria: and he placed them in Hala and Habor by the river of Gozan, in the cities of the Medes.
6ἐν ἔτει ἐνάτῳ Ὡσηὲ συνέλαβε βασιλεὺς Ἀσσυρίων τὴν Σαμάρειαν καὶ ἀπῴκισεν Ἰσραὴλ εἰς Ἀσσυρίους καὶ κατῴκισεν αὐτοὺς ἐν Ἀλαὲ καὶ ἐν Ἀβὼρ ποταμοῖς Γωζάν, καὶ ὄρη Μήδων.
7For so it was that the children of Israel had sinned against the Lord their God, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, from under the hand of Pharao king of Egypt, and they worshipped strange gods.
7καὶ ἐγένετο ὅτι ἥμαρτον οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ τῷ Κυρίῳ Θεῷ αὐτῶν τῷ ἀναγαγόντι αὐτοὺς ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου ὑποκάτωθεν χειρὸς Φαραὼ βασιλέως Αἰγύπτου καὶ ἐφοβήθησαν θεοὺς ἑτέρους
8And they walked according to the way of the nations which the Lord had destroyed in the sight of the children of Israel and of the kings of Israel: because they had done in like manner.
8καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν τοῖς δικαιώμασι τῶν ἐθνῶν, ὧν ἐξῇρε Κύριος ἐκ προσώπου υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ, καὶ οἱ βασιλεῖς Ἰσραήλ, ὅσοι ἐποίησαν,
9And the children of Israel offended the Lord their God with things that were not right: and built them high places in all their cities from the tower of the watchmen to the fenced city.
9καὶ ὅσοι ἠμφιέσαντο οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ λόγους οὐχ οὕτως κατὰ Κυρίου Θεοῦ αὐτῶν. καὶ ᾠκοδόμησαν ἑαυτοῖς ὑψηλὰ ἐν πάσαις ταῖς πόλεσιν αὐτῶν ἀπὸ πύργου φυλασσόντων ἕως πόλεως ὀχυρᾶς
10And they made them statues and groves on every high hill, and under every shady tree:
10καὶ ἐστήλωσαν ἑαυτοῖς στήλας καὶ ἄλση ἐπὶ παντὶ βουνῷ ὑψηλῷ καὶ ὑποκάτω παντὸς ξύλου ἀλσώδους
11And they burnt incense there upon altars after the manner of the nations which the Lord had removed from their face: and they did wicked things, provoking the Lord.
11καὶ ἐθυμίασαν ἐκεῖ ἐν πᾶσιν ὑψηλοῖς καθὼς τὰ ἔθνη, ἃ ἀπῴκισε Κύριος ἐκ προσώπου αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐποίησαν κοινωνοὺς καὶ ἐχάραξαν τοῦ παροργίσαι τὸν Κύριον
12And they worshipped abominations, concerning which the Lord had commanded them that they should not do this thing.
12καὶ ἐλάτρευσαν τοῖς εἰδώλοις, οἷς εἶπε Κύριος αὐτοῖς· οὐ ποιήσετε τὸ ρῆμα τοῦτο τῷ Κυρίῳ.
13And the Lord testified to them in Israel and in Juda by the hand of all the prophets and seers, saying: Return from your wicked ways, and keep my precepts, and ceremonies, according to all the law which I commanded your fathers: and as I have sent to you in the hand of my servants the prophets.
13καὶ διεμαρτύρατο Κύριος ἐν τῷ Ἰσραὴλ καὶ ἐν τῷ Ἰούδᾳ καὶ ἐν χειρὶ πάντων τῶν προφητῶν αὐτοῦ, παντὸς ὁρῶντος λέγων· ἀποστράφητε ἀπὸ τῶν ὁδῶν ὑμῶν τῶν πονηρῶν καὶ φυλάξατε τὰς ἐντολάς μου καὶ τὰ δικαιώματά μου καὶ πάντα τὸν νόμον, ὃν ἐνετειλάμην τοῖς πατράσιν ὑμῶν, ὅσα ἀπέστειλα αὐτοῖς ἐν χειρὶ τῶν δούλων μου τῶν προφητῶν.
14And they hearkened not, but hardened their necks like to the neck of their fathers, who would not obey the Lord their God.
14καὶ οὐκ ἤκουσαν καὶ ἐσκλήρυναν τὸν νῶτον αὐτῶν ὑπὲρ τὸν νῶτον τῶν πατέρων αὐτῶν
15And they rejected his ordinances and the covenant that he made with their fathers, and the testimonies which he testified against them: and they followed vanities, and acted vainly: and they followed the nations that were round about them, concerning which the Lord had commanded them that they should not do as they did.
15καὶ τὰ μαρτύρια αὐτοῦ, ὅσα διεμαρτύρατο αὐτοῖς, οὐκ ἐφύλαξαν καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν ὀπίσω τῶν ματαίων καὶ ἐματαιώθησαν, καὶ ὀπίσω τῶν ἐθνῶν τῶν περικύκλῳ αὐτῶν, ὧν ἐνετείλατο Κύριος αὐτοῖς μὴ ποιῆσαι κατὰ ταῦτα.
16And they forsook all the precepts of the Lord their God: and made to themselves two molten calves, and groves, and adored all the host of heaven: and they served Baal.
16ἐγκατέλιπον τὰς ἐντολὰς Κυρίου Θεοῦ αὐτῶν καὶ ἐποίησαν ἑαυτοῖς χώνευμα δύο δαμάλεις καὶ ἐποίησαν ἄλση καὶ προσεκύνησαν πάσῃ τῇ δυνάμει τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ ἐλάτρευσαν τῷ Βάαλ
17And consecrated their sons, and their daughters through fire: and they gave themselves to divinations, and soothsayings: and they delivered themselves up to do evil before the Lord, to provoke him.
17καὶ διῆγον τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτῶν καὶ τὰς θυγατέρας αὐτῶν ἐν πυρὶ καὶ ἐμαντεύοντο μαντείας καὶ οἰωνίζοντο καὶ ἐπράθησαν τοῦ ποιῆσαι τὸ πονηρὸν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς Κυρίου παροργίσαι αὐτόν.
18And the Lord was very angry with Israel, and removed them from his sight, and there remained only the tribe of Juda.
18καὶ ἐθυμώθη Κύριος σφόδρα ἐν τῷ Ἰσραήλ, καὶ ἀπέστησεν αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ τοῦ προσώπου αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐχ ὑπελείφθη πλὴν φυλὴ Ἰούδα μονωτάτη.
19But neither did Juda itself keep the commandments of the Lord their God: but they walked in the errors of Israel, which they had wrought.
19καί γε Ἰούδας οὐκ ἐφύλαξε τὰς ἐντολὰς Κυρίου τοῦ Θεοῦ αὐτῶν καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν ἐν τοῖς δικαιώμασιν Ἰσραήλ, οἷς ἐποίησαν,
20And the Lord cast off all the seed of Israel, and afflicted them and delivered them into the hand of spoilers, till he cast them away from his face:
20καὶ ἀπεώσαντο τὸν Κύριον, καὶ ἐθυμώθη Κύριος παντὶ σπέρματι Ἰσραὴλ καὶ ἐσάλευσεν αὐτοὺς καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτοὺς ἐν χειρὶ διαρπαζόντων αὐτούς, ἕως οὗ ἀπέρριψεν αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτοῦ.
21Even from that time, when Israel was rent from the house of David, and made Jeroboam son of Nabat their king: for Jeroboam separated Israel from the Lord, and made them commit a great sin.
21ὅτι πλὴν Ἰσραὴλ ἐπάνωθεν οἴκου Δαυὶδ καὶ ἐβασίλευσαν τὸν Ἱεροβοὰμ υἱὸν Ναβάτ, καὶ ἐξέωσεν Ἱεροβοὰμ τὸν Ἰσραὴλ ἐξόπισθεν Κυρίου καὶ ἐξήμαρτεν αὐτοὺς ἁμαρτίαν μεγάλην.
22And the children of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam, which he had done: and they departed not from them,
22καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ ἐν πάσῃ ἁμαρτίᾳ Ἱεροβοάμ, ᾗ ἐποίησεν, οὐκ ἀπέστησαν ἀπ᾿ αὐτῆς,
23Till the Lord removed Israel from his face, as he had spoken in the hand of all his servants the prophets: and Israel was carried away out of their land to Assyria, unto this day.
23ἕως οὗ μετέστησε Κύριος τὸν Ἰσραὴλ ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτοῦ, καθὼς ἐλάλησε Κύριος ἐν χειρὶ πάντων τῶν δούλων αὐτοῦ τῶν προφητῶν, καὶ ἀπῳκίσθη Ἰσραὴλ ἐπάνωθεν τῆς γῆς αὐτοῦ εἰς Ἀσσυρίους ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης.
24And the king of the Assyrians brought people from Babylon, and from Cutha, and from Avah, and from Emath, 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.
24Καὶ ἤγαγε βασιλεὺς Ἀσσυρίων ἐκ Βαβυλῶνος τὸν ἐκ Χουθὰ ἀπὸ Ἀϊὰ καὶ ἀπὸ Αἰμὰθ καὶ Σεπφαρουαΐμ, καὶ κατῳκίσθησαν ἐν πόλεσι Σαμαρείας ἀντὶ τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ καὶ ἐκληρονόμησαν τὴν Σαμάρειαν καὶ κατῴκισαν ἐν ταῖς πόλεσιν αὐτῆς.
25And when they began to dwell there, they feared not the Lord: and the Lord sent lions among them, which killed them.
25καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν ἀρχῇ τῆς καθέδρας αὐτῶν οὐκ ἐφοβήθησαν τὸν Κύριον, καὶ ἀπέστειλε Κύριος ἐν αὐτοῖς τοὺς λέοντας, καὶ ἦσαν ἀποκτέννοντες ἐν αὐτοῖς.
26And it was told the king of the Assyrians, and it was said: The nations which thou hast removed, and made to dwell in the cities of Samaria, know not the ordinances of the God of the land: and the Lord hath sent lions among them: and behold they kill them, because they know not the manner of the God of the land.
26καὶ εἶπαν τῷ βασιλεῖ Ἀσσυρίων λέγοντες· τὰ ἔθνη, ἃ ἀπῴκισας καὶ ἀντεκάθισας ἐν πόλεσι Σαμαρείας, οὐκ ἔγνωσαν τὸ κρίμα τοῦ Θεοῦ τῆς γῆς, καὶ ἀπέστειλεν εἰς αὐτοὺς τοὺς λέοντας, καὶ ἰδού εἰσι θανατοῦντες αὐτούς, καθότι οὐκ οἴδασι τὸ κρίμα τοῦ Θεοῦ τῆς γῆς,
27And the king of the Assyrians commanded, saying: Carry thither one of the priests whom you brought from thence captive, and let him go, and dwell with them: and let him teach them the ordinances of the God of the land.
27καὶ ἐνετείλατο ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἀσσυρίων λέγων· ἀπάγετε ἐκεῖθεν καὶ πορευέσθωσαν καὶ κατοικήτωσαν ἐκεῖ καὶ φωτιοῦσιν αὐτοὺς τὸ κρίμα τοῦ Θεοῦ τῆς γῆς.
28So one of the priests who had been carried away captive from Samaria, came and dwelt in Bethel, and taught them how they should worship the Lord.
28καὶ ἤγαγον ἕνα τῶν ἱερέων, ὧν ἀπῴκισαν ἀπὸ Σαμαρείας, καὶ ἐκάθισεν ἐν Βαιθὴλ καὶ ἦν φωτίζων αὐτοὺς πῶς φοβηθῶσι τὸν Κύριον.
29And every nation made gods of their own, and put them in the temples of the high places, which the Samaritans had made, every nation in their cities where they dwelt.
29καὶ ἦσαν ποιοῦντες ἔθνη ἔθνη θεοὺς αὐτῶν καὶ ἔθηκαν ἐν οἴκῳ τῶν ὑψηλῶν, ὧν ἐποίησαν οἱ Σαμαρεῖται, ἔθνη ἔθνη ἐν ταῖς πόλεσιν αὐτῶν, ἐν αἷς κατῴκουν.
30For the men of Babylon made Sochothbenoth: and the Cuthites made Nergel: and the men of Emath made Asima.
30καὶ οἱ ἄνδρες Βαβυλῶνος ἐποίησαν τὴν Σωκχὼθ Βαινίθ, καὶ οἱ ἄνδρες Χοὺθ ἐποίησαν τὴν Νηριγέλ, καὶ οἱ ἄνδρες Αἰμὰθ ἐποίησαν τὴν Ἀσιμάθ,
31And the Hevites made Nebahaz and Tharthac. And they that were of Sepharvaim burnt their children in fire, to Adramelech and Anamelech the gods of Sepharvaim.
31καὶ οἱ Εὐαῖοι ἐποίησαν τὴν Ἐβλαζὲρ καὶ τὴν Θαρθάκ, καὶ οἱ Σεπφαρουαΐμ κατέκαιον τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτῶν ἐν πυρὶ τῷ Ἀδραμέλεχ καὶ Ἀνημελέχ, θεοῖς Σεπφαρουαΐμ.
32And nevertheless they worshipped the Lord. And they made to themselves, of the lowest of the people, priests of the high places, and they placed them in the temples of the high places.
32καὶ ἦσαν φοβούμενοι τὸν Κύριον καὶ κατῴκισαν τὰ βδελύγματα αὐτῶν ἐν τοῖς οἴκοις τῶν ὑψηλῶν, ἃ ἐποίησαν ἐν Σαμαρείᾳ, ἔθνος ἔθνος ἐν πόλει, ἐν ᾗ κατῴκουν ἐν αὐτῇ· καὶ ἦσαν φοβούμενοι τὸν Κύριον καὶ ἐποίησαν ἑαυτοῖς ἱερεῖς τῶν ὑψηλῶν καὶ ἐποίησαν ἐν οἴκῳ τῶν ὑψηλῶν.
33And when they worshipped the Lord, they served also their own gods according to the custom of the nations out of which they were brought to Samaria:
33καὶ τὸν Κύριον ἐφοβοῦντο καὶ τοῖς θεοῖς αὐτῶν ἐλάτρευον κατὰ τὸ κρίμα τῶν ἐθνῶν, ὅθεν ἀπῴκισαν αὐτοὺς ἐκεῖθεν.
34Unto this day they followed the old manner: they fear not the Lord, neither do they keep his ceremonies, and judgments, and law, and the commandment, which the Lord commanded the children of Jacob, whom he surnamed Israel:
34ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης αὐτοὶ ἐποίουν κατὰ τὸ κρίμα αὐτῶν· αὐτοὶ φοβοῦνται καὶ αὐτοὶ ποιοῦσι κατὰ τὰ δικαιώματα αὐτῶν καὶ κατὰ τὴν κρίσιν αὐτῶν καὶ κατὰ τὸν νόμον καὶ κατὰ τὴν ἐντολήν, ἣν ἐνετείλατο Κύριος τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἰακώβ, οὗ ἔθηκε τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ἰσραήλ,
35With whom he made a covenant, and charged them, saying: You shall not fear strange gods, nor shall you adore them, nor worship them, nor sacrifice to them.
35καὶ διέθετο Κύριος μετ᾿ αὐτῶν διαθήκην καὶ ἐνετείλατο αὐτοῖς λέγων· οὐ φοβηθήσεσθε θεοὺς ἑτέρους καὶ οὐ προσκυνήσετε αὐτοῖς καὶ οὐ λατρεύσετε αὐτοῖς καὶ οὐ θυσιάσετε αὐτοῖς,
36But the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt with great power, and a stretched out arm, him shall you fear, and him shall you adore, and to him shall you sacrifice.
36ὅτι ἀλλ᾿ ἢ τῷ Κυρίῳ, ὃς ἀνήγαγεν ὑμᾶς ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου ἐν ἰσχύϊ μεγάλῃ καὶ ἐν βραχίονι ὑψηλῷ, αὐτὸν φοβηθήσεσθε καὶ αὐτῷ προσκυνήσετε, αὐτῷ θύσετε·
37And the ceremonies, and judgments, and law, and the commandment, which he wrote for you, you shall observe to do them always: and you shall not fear strange gods.
37καὶ τὰ δικαιώματα καὶ τὰ κρίματα καὶ τὸν νόμον καὶ τὰς ἐντολάς, ἃς ἔγραψεν ὑμῖν ποιεῖν, φυλάσσεσθε πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας καὶ οὐ φοβηθήσεσθε θεοὺς ἑτέρους·
38And the covenant that he made with you, you shall not forget: neither shall ye worship strange gods,
38καὶ τὴν διαθήκην, ἣν διέθετο μεθ᾿ ὑμῶν, οὐκ ἐπιλήσεσθε καὶ οὐ φοβηθήσεσθε θεοὺς ἑτέρους,
39But fear the Lord your God, and he shall deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies.
39ἀλλ᾿ ἢ τὸν Κύριον Θεὸν ὑμῶν φοβηθήσεσθε, καὶ αὐτὸς ἐξελεῖται ὑμᾶς ἐκ πάντων τῶν ἐχθρῶν ὑμῶν·
40But they did not hearken, but did according to their old custom.
40καὶ οὐκ ἀκούσεσθε ἐπὶ τῷ κρίματι αὐτῶν, ὃ αὐτοὶ ποιοῦσι.
41So these nations feared the Lord, but nevertheless served also their idols: their children also and grandchildren, as their fathers did, so do they unto this day.
41καὶ ἦσαν τὰ ἔθνη ταῦτα φοβούμενοι τὸν Κύριον καὶ τοῖς γλυπτοῖς αὐ- τῶν ἦσαν δουλεύοντες, καί γε οἱ υἱοὶ καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ τῶν υἱῶν αὐτῶν, καθὰ ἐποίησαν οἱ πατέρες αὐτῶν, ποιοῦσιν ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης.
