何细亚做以色列王

17 犹大亚哈斯十二年,以拉的儿子何细亚撒马利亚登基,做以色列王九年。 他行耶和华眼中看为恶的事,只是不像在他以前的以色列诸王。 亚述撒缦以色上来攻击何细亚何细亚就服侍他,给他进贡。 何细亚背叛,差人去见埃及,不照往年所行的与亚述王进贡。亚述王知道了,就把他锁禁,囚在监里。

亚述王陷撒马利亚

亚述王上来攻击以色列遍地,上到撒马利亚,围困三年。 何细亚第九年,亚述王攻取了撒马利亚,将以色列人掳到亚述,把他们安置在哈腊歌散哈博河边,并玛代人的城邑。

这是因以色列人得罪那领他们出埃及地,脱离埃及王法老手的耶和华他们的神,去敬畏别神, 随从耶和华在他们面前所赶出外邦人的风俗和以色列诸王所立的条规。 以色列人暗中行不正的事,违背耶和华他们的神,在他们所有的城邑,从瞭望楼直到坚固城,建筑丘坛; 10 在各高冈上、各青翠树下立柱像和木偶; 11 在丘坛上烧香,效法耶和华在他们面前赶出的外邦人所行的;又行恶事,惹动耶和华的怒气; 12 且侍奉偶像,就是耶和华警戒他们不可行的。 13 但耶和华借众先知、先见劝诫以色列人和犹大人说:“当离开你们的恶行,谨守我的诫命、律例,遵行我吩咐你们列祖并借我仆人众先知所传给你们的律法。” 14 他们却不听从,竟硬着颈项,效法他们列祖,不信服耶和华他们的神, 15 厌弃他的律例和他与他们列祖所立的约并劝诫他们的话,随从虚无的神,自己成为虚妄,效法周围的外邦人,就是耶和华嘱咐他们不可效法的。 16 离弃耶和华他们神的一切诫命,为自己铸了两个牛犊的像,立了亚舍拉,敬拜天上的万象,侍奉巴力 17 又使他们的儿女经火,用占卜,行法术,卖了自己行耶和华眼中看为恶的事,惹动他的怒气。 18 所以耶和华向以色列人大大发怒,从自己面前赶出他们,只剩下犹大一个支派。

19 犹大人也不遵守耶和华他们神的诫命,随从以色列人所立的条规。 20 耶和华就厌弃以色列全族,使他们受苦,把他们交在抢夺他们的人手中,以致赶出他们离开自己面前, 21 以色列国从大卫家夺回,他们就立尼八的儿子耶罗波安做王。耶罗波安引诱以色列人不随从耶和华,陷在大罪里。 22 以色列人犯耶罗波安所犯的一切罪,总不离开, 23 以致耶和华从自己面前赶出他们,正如借他仆人众先知所说的。这样,以色列人从本地被掳到亚述,直到今日。

置异族人于撒马利亚

24 亚述王从巴比伦古他亚瓦哈马西法瓦音迁移人来,安置在撒马利亚的城邑,代替以色列人。他们就得了撒马利亚,住在其中。 25 他们才住那里的时候,不敬畏耶和华,所以耶和华叫狮子进入他们中间,咬死了些人。 26 有人告诉亚述王说:“你所迁移安置在撒马利亚各城的那些民不知道那地之神的规矩,所以那神叫狮子进入他们中间,咬死他们。”

27 亚述王就吩咐说:“叫所掳来的祭司回去一个,使他住在那里,将那地之神的规矩指教那些民。” 28 于是有一个从撒马利亚掳去的祭司回来,住在伯特利,指教他们怎样敬畏耶和华。 29 然而各族之人在所住的城里各为自己制造神像,安置在撒马利亚人所造有丘坛的殿中。 30 巴比伦人造疏割比讷像,古他人造匿甲像,哈马人造亚示玛像, 31 亚瓦人造匿哈他珥他像,西法瓦音人用火焚烧儿女献给西法瓦音的神亚得米勒亚拿米勒 32 他们惧怕耶和华,也从他们中间立丘坛的祭司,为他们在有丘坛的殿中献祭。 33 他们又惧怕耶和华,又侍奉自己的神,从何邦迁移,就随何邦的风俗。

34 他们直到如今仍照先前的风俗去行,不专心敬畏耶和华,不全守自己的规矩、典章,也不遵守耶和华吩咐雅各后裔的律法、诫命;雅各,就是从前耶和华起名叫以色列的。 35 耶和华曾与他们立约,嘱咐他们说:“不可敬畏别神,不可跪拜侍奉他,也不可向他献祭。 36 但那用大能和伸出来的膀臂领你们出埃及地的耶和华,你们当敬畏、跪拜,向他献祭。 37 他给你们写的律例、典章、律法、诫命,你们应当永远谨守遵行,不可敬畏别神。 38 我耶和华与你们所立的约,你们不可忘记,也不可敬畏别神, 39 但要敬畏耶和华你们的神,他必救你们脱离一切仇敌的手。” 40 他们却不听从,仍照先前的风俗去行。 41 如此,这些民又惧怕耶和华,又侍奉他们的偶像。他们子子孙孙也都照样行,效法他们的祖宗,直到今日。

何细亚做以色列王

17 犹大王亚哈斯执政第十二年,以拉的儿子何细亚在撒玛利亚登基做以色列王,执政九年。 他做耶和华视为恶的事,不过没有他之前的以色列诸王那么败坏。 亚述王撒缦以色攻打以色列,何细亚纳贡称臣。 然而,何细亚差遣使者向埃及王梭求援,不再像往年那样向亚述王进贡。亚述王发现后,把他抓起来囚在狱中。 亚述王攻打以色列全境,并围困撒玛利亚三年。 何细亚执政第九年,撒玛利亚沦陷。亚述王把以色列人掳到亚述,安置在哈腊、歌散的哈博河一带以及玛代人的各城。

以色列人的罪恶史

以色列人之所以有如此下场,是因为他们的上帝耶和华领他们出埃及,从埃及王法老手中救出他们,他们却犯罪得罪祂。他们祭拜别的神明, 效法耶和华在他们面前赶走的外族人的风俗和以色列诸王奉行的习俗。 以色列人暗中做不义之事,冒犯他们的上帝耶和华。从瞭望塔到坚城,他们在各地建丘坛, 10 在各高岗上、绿树下立神柱和亚舍拉神像, 11 在各丘坛烧香,如同耶和华在他们面前赶走的外族人一样。他们邪恶的行为激怒了耶和华。 12 尽管耶和华警告他们不可祭拜偶像,他们仍然执迷不悟。

13 耶和华借着祂的众先知和先见警告以色列人和犹大人说:“你们要离开恶道,遵守我的诫命和律例,即我吩咐你们祖先遵守并借着我的仆人——众先知传给你们的律法。” 14 但他们充耳不闻,像他们祖先一样顽固不化,不信靠他们的上帝耶和华, 15 拒绝遵守祂的律例和祂与他们祖先所立的约,无视祂的警告。他们随从虚无的偶像,自己也变得虚无。他们违背耶和华的命令,去效法周围的外族人。 16 他们把他们的上帝耶和华的诫命抛诸脑后,铸造了两个金牛犊,还造了亚舍拉神像。他们祭拜巴力和天上的万象, 17 把自己的儿女烧死献作祭物。他们占卜,行邪术,出卖自己去做耶和华视为恶的事,惹祂发怒。

18 因此,耶和华非常愤怒,从祂面前赶走以色列人,只留下犹大一个支派。 19 但犹大人也不遵守他们的上帝耶和华的诫命,反而效法以色列人的恶行。 20 于是,耶和华弃绝了以色列全族,使他们饱尝痛苦,任人宰割,直至把他们从自己眼前赶走。 21 祂使以色列从大卫家分裂出来,以色列人便拥立尼八的儿子耶罗波安为王。耶罗波安诱使以色列人远离耶和华,使他们犯了大罪。 22 以色列人沉溺于耶罗波安所犯的一切罪中,始终不肯回头, 23 直到耶和华把他们从自己眼前赶走,正如祂借自己的仆人——众先知对他们的警告。这样,以色列人被掳到亚述,至今仍住在那里。

外族人移居撒玛利亚

24 亚述王把巴比伦、古他、亚瓦、哈马、西法瓦音等地的一些居民迁移到撒玛利亚各城,代替以色列人。 25 刚迁居到那里的时候,他们不敬拜耶和华,所以耶和华差遣狮子闯入他们当中,咬死了一些人。 26 有人禀告亚述王说:“你迁移到撒玛利亚各城的那些人不知道当地神明的规矩,所以神明就差遣狮子闯入他们当中,咬死了一些人。” 27 亚述王便下令:“派一位被掳来的祭司回去,让他住在那里,把当地神明的规矩教导给他们。” 28 于是,有一位从撒玛利亚被掳走的祭司回去住在伯特利,教导他们怎样敬拜耶和华。

29 可是,这些从各地迁来的民族都在所住的各城为自己制造神像,供奉在撒玛利亚人在高岗上建造的神庙中。 30 巴比伦人造疏割·比讷神像,古他人造匿甲神像,哈马人造亚示玛神像, 31 亚瓦人造匿哈和他珥他神像,西法瓦音人焚烧儿女向他们的神明亚得米勒和亚拿米勒献祭。 32 他们也敬拜耶和华,却委任各种人做祭司,在高岗上的神庙为他们献祭。 33 他们就这样既敬拜耶和华,又各按各的风俗供奉自己的神明。

34 直到现在,他们仍然执迷不悟,不敬畏耶和华,也不遵行耶和华赐给雅各子孙的律例、典章、法度和诫命。耶和华曾给雅各取名叫以色列, 35 与他的子孙立约,吩咐他们:“不可祭拜其他神明,不可跪拜和供奉他们,也不可向他们献祭。 36 耶和华伸出大能的臂膀把你们领出埃及,你们要敬拜祂,要向祂跪拜、献祭。 37 你们要永远谨遵祂所定的律例、典章、法度和诫命,不可祭拜其他神明。 38 不可忘记我与你们立的约,不可祭拜其他神明。 39 我是你们的上帝耶和华,你们要敬拜我,我必从一切仇敌手中救你们。” 40 但是他们没有听从,依然仿效先前的风俗。 41 那些移民到撒玛利亚各城的外族人既敬拜耶和华,又供奉自己的偶像。直到今日,他们的子孙仍是这样。

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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,

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.

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.

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

11 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:

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

13 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.

14 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.

15 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.

16 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.

17 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.

18 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.

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

20 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.

21 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.

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

23 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.

24 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.

25 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.

26 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.

27 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.

28 Then one of the priests whom they had carried away from Samaria came and dwelt in Bethel, and taught them how they should fear the Lord.

29 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.

30 And the men of Babylon made Succothbenoth, and the men of Cuth made Nergal, and the men of Hamath made Ashima,

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

32 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.

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

34 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;

35 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:

36 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.

37 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.

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

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

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

41 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.
