2 Kings 17
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1In the twelfth year of Ahaz king of Judah began Hoshea the son of Elah to reign in Samaria over Israel, and reigned nine years.
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。
2And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, yet not as the kings of Israel that were before him.
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。
3Against him came up Shalmaneser king of Assyria; and Hoshea became his servant, and brought him presents.
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。
4And the king of Assyria found conspiracy in Hoshea; for he had sent messengers to So king of Egypt, and offered 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.
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。
5Then the king of Assyria came up throughout all the land, and went up to Samaria, and besieged it three years.
5亞述 王上來攻擊 以色列 遍地，上到 撒馬利亞 ，圍困三年。
6In the ninth year of Hoshea, the king of Assyria took Samaria, and carried Israel away unto Assyria, and placed them in Halah, and in Habor, on the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes.
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。
7And it 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,
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，
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 practised;
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。
9and the children of Israel did impute things that were not right unto the LORD their God, and they built them high places in all their cities, from the tower of the watchmen to the fortified city;
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；
10and they set them up pillars and Asherim upon every high hill, and under every leafy tree;
10在各高岡上、各青翠樹下立柱像和木偶；
11and there they offered in all the high places, as did the nations whom the LORD carried away before them; and wrought wicked things to provoke the LORD;
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；
12and they served idols, whereof the LORD had said unto them: 'Ye shall not do this thing';
12且事奉偶像，就是耶和華警戒他們不可行的。
13yet the LORD forewarned Israel, and Judah, by the hand of every prophet, and of every seer, 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 the hand of My servants the prophets';
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。」
14notwithstanding they would not hear, but hardened their neck, like to the neck of their fathers, who believed not in the LORD their God;
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，
15and they rejected His statutes, and His covenant that He made with their fathers, and His testimonies wherewith He testified against them; and they went after things of nought, and became nought, and after the nations that were round about them, concerning whom the LORD had charged them that they should not do like them;
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；
16and they forsook all the commandments of the LORD their God, and made them molten images, even two calves, and made an Asherah, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served Baal;
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 ，
17and they caused their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire, and used divination and enchantments, and gave themselves over to do that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke Him;
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。
18that the LORD was very angry with Israel, and removed them out of His sight; there was none left but the tribe of Judah only.
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。
19Also Judah kept not the commandments of the LORD their God, but walked in the statutes of Israel which they practised.
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。
20And 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.
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，
21For He rent Israel from the house of David; and they made Jeroboam the son of Nebat king; and Jeroboam drew Israel away from following the LORD, and made them sin a great sin.
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。
22And the children of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam which he did; they departed not from them;
22以色列 人犯 耶羅波安 所犯的一切罪，總不離開，
23until the LORD removed Israel out of His sight, as He spoke by the hand of all His servants the prophets. So Israel was carried away out of their own land to Assyria, unto this day.
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。
24And the 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 dwelt in the cities thereof.
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。
25And so it was, at the beginning of their dwelling there, that they feared not the LORD; therefore the LORD sent lions among them, which killed some of them.
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。
26Wherefore they spoke to the king of Assyria, saying: 'The nations which thou hast carried away, 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.'
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。」
27Then 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.'
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。」
28So 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.
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。
29Howbeit 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.
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。
30And the men of Babylon made Succoth-benoth, and the men of Cuth made Nergal, and the men of Hamath made Ashima,
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；
31and the Avvites made Nibhaz and Tartak, and the Sepharvites burnt their children in the fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech, the gods of Sepharvaim.
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 。
32So they feared the LORD, and made unto them from among themselves priests of the high places, who sacrificed for them in the houses of the high places.
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。
33They feared the LORD, and served their own gods, after the manner of the nations from among whom they had been carried away.
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。
34Unto 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 or after the commandment which the LORD commanded the children of Jacob, whom He named Israel;
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。）
35with whom the LORD had made a covenant, and charged them, saying: 'Ye shall not fear other gods, nor bow down to them, nor serve them, nor sacrifice to them;
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。
36but the LORD, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt with great power and with an outstretched arm, Him shall ye fear, and Him shall ye worship, and to Him shall ye sacrifice;
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。
37and 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;
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。
38and the covenant that I have made with you ye shall not forget; neither shall ye 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。
39but the LORD your God shall ye fear; and He will deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies.'
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。」
40Howbeit they did not hearken, but they did after their former manner.
40他們卻不聽從，仍照先前的風俗去行。
41So these nations feared the LORD, and served their graven images; their children likewise, and their children's children, as did their fathers, so do they unto this day.
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。
