Hoosheeca, Boqorkii Ugu Dambeeyey Ee Israa'iil

17 Aaxaas oo ahaa boqorkii dalka Yahuudah sannaddiisii laba iyo tobnaad ayaa Hoosheeca ina Eelaah dalka Israa'iil Samaariya boqor ugu noqday, oo wuxuu boqor ahaa sagaal sannadood. Oo wuxuu sameeyey wax shar ku ah Rabbiga hortiisa, laakiinse uma uu samayn sidii boqorradii dalka Israa'iil oo isaga ka horreeyey. Oo waxaa isagii ku kacay Shalmaneser oo ahaa boqorkii Ashuur; oo Hoosheeca addoon buu u noqday isagii, oo wuxuu u keenay gabbaro. Markaasaa boqorkii Ashuur wuxuu Hoosheeca ka gartay shirqool, waayo, wuxuu wargeeyayaal u dirtay Soowa oo boqorkii Masar ahaa, oo boqorkii Ashuurna gabbaro ma uu siin siduu sannad kasta yeeli jiray; sidaas daraaddeed boqorkii Ashuur wuu xidhay oo xabsi ku riday. Markaasaa boqorkii Ashuur dalkii oo dhan dhex maray, oo wuxuu yimid Samaariya, oo intii saddex sannadood ah ayuu hareereeyey. Oo Hoosheeca sannaddiisii sagaalaad ayaa boqorkii Ashuur qabsaday Samaariya, oo dadkii Israa'iilna wuxuu u kaxaystay Ashuur, oo wuxuu dejiyey Xalax, iyo Xaaboor oo webigii Goosaan ag ahaa, iyo magaalooyinkii reer Maaday.

Reer Binu Israa'iil Oo Dembigooda Loo Masaafuriyey

Oo taasu way dhacday, maxaa yeelay, dadkii Israa'iil waxay ku dembaabi jireen Rabbiga Ilaahooda ah oo iyaga ka soo bixiyey dalkii Masar oo ka soo hoos bixiyey gacantii Fircoon oo ahaa boqorkii Masar, oo waxay ka cabsan jireen ilaahyo kale, wayna ku socon jireen qaynuunnadii quruumaha kale, kuwaasoo Rabbigu ka eryay dadka Israa'iil hortooda, iyo kuwii ay boqorradii dadkii Israa'iil samaysteenba. Oo dadkii Israa'iil waxay Rabbiga Ilaahooda ah si qarsoon ugu samayn jireen waxyaalo aan qummanayn, oo magaalooyinkooda oo dhan waxay ka dhisan jireen meelo sarsare tan iyo munaaraddii waardiyayaasha iyo ilaa magaaladii deyrka lahayd. 10 Oo buur kasta oo dheer korkeeda iyo geed kastoo dheer oo doog ah hoostiisaba waxay qotonsan jireen tiirar iyo geedihii Asheeraah. 11 Oo meelihii sarsare oo dhan waxay ku shidi jireen foox sidii ay yeeli jireen quruumihii kale oo Rabbigu uu hortooda ka eryay; oo waxay samayn jireen waxyaalo shar ah oo ay Rabbiga kaga xanaajiyeen. 12 Oo waxay u adeegi jireen sanamyadii uu Rabbigu ku yidhi, Idinku waxan ha samaynina. 13 Oo weliba Rabbigu dadkii Israa'iil iyo dadkii Yahuudahba wuxuu ugu digi jiray nebiyadii oo dhan iyo kuwii wax arki jiray oo dhan, isagoo leh, War jidadkiinna sharka ah ka soo noqda, oo amarradayda iyo qaynuunnadayda u dhawra siduu ahaa sharcigii aan awowayaashiin ku amray oo dhan oo aan idinkugu soo dhiibay addoommadaydii nebiyada ahaa. 14 Habase yeeshee iyagu way diidi jireen inay taas maqlaan, laakiinse waxay u madax adkaan jireen sidii awowayaashood oo kale, kuwaasoo aan rumaysan Rabbiga Ilaahooda ah. 15 Oo iyagu way diidi jireen qaynuunnadiisii iyo axdigiisii uu awowayaashood la dhigtay, iyo markhaatifurkiisii uu iyaga ugu marag furay, oo intay waxtarla'aan raaceen ayay wax aan waxba tarin noqdeen, oo waxay ku dayan jireen quruumihii hareerahooda ku wareegsanaa oo Rabbigu ku amray inayan sidooda oo kale yeelin. 16 Oo iyagu way ka tegi jireen amarradii Rabbiga Ilaahooda ah oo dhan, oo waxay samaysteen sanamyo la shubay, kuwaasoo ahaa laba weylood, oo waxay kaloo samaysteen geedihii Asheeraah, oo waxay caabudi jireen ciidanka samada oo dhan, Bacalna way u adeegi jireen. 17 Oo wiilashoodii iyo gabdhahoodii ayay dab dhex marin jireen, oo waxay u tegi jireen waxsheegyo iyo falanfallowyo, oo waxay nafsaddoodii u iibin jireen inay sameeyaan wax shar ku ah Rabbiga hortiisa, oo ay kaga xanaajiyeen. 18 Sidaas daraaddeed Rabbigu aad buu ugu cadhooday reer binu Israa'iil, markaasuu hortiisa ka fogeeyey; oo iyagii waxba kama hadhin qabiilkii Yahuudah oo keliya mooyaane. 19 Oo xataa reer Yahuudahna ma ayan dhawrin amarradii Rabbiga Ilaahooda ah, laakiinse waxay ku socdeen qaynuunnadii ay dadkii Israa'iil sameeyeen. 20 Oo Rabbigu wuxuu nacay farcankii reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan, oo intuu dhibay ayuu gacanta u geliyey kuwii dhacay ilaa uu hortiisa ka tuuray. 21 Waayo, isagu reer binu Israa'iil wuu ka soocay Daa'uud reerkiisii, oo waxay boqor ka dhigteen Yaaraabcaam ina Nebaad, oo Yaaraabcaamna dadkii Israa'iil wuu ka kaxeeyey Rabbiga lasocodkiisii, oo wuxuu iyagii dembaajiyey dembi weyn. 22 Oo dadkii Israa'iil waxay ku socdeen kulli dembiyadii Yaaraabcaam sameeyey oo dhan, oo kuwaasna kama ay tegin 23 ilaa uu Rabbigu dadkii Israa'iil hortiisa ka fogeeyey, siduu kaga hadli jiray addoommadiisii nebiyada ahaa oo dhan. Oo sidaas daraaddeed dadkii Israa'iil waa laga kaxaystay dalkoodii, oo waxaa lala tegey dalka Ashuur, halkaasoo ay ilaa maantadan joogaan.

Dad La Dejiyey Samaariya

24 Markaasaa boqorkii Ashuur dad ka keenay xagga Baabuloon, iyo Kuutaah, iyo Cawaa, iyo Xamaad, iyo Sefarwayiim, oo wuxuu dejiyey magaalooyinkii Samaariya, meeshay dadkii Israa'iil ka degganaan jireen, oo waxay hantiyeen Samaariya, magaalooyinkeediina way degeen. 25 Oo markay bilaabeen inay meeshaas degaan Rabbiga kama ay cabsan jirin, oo sidaas daraaddeed Rabbigu wuxuu dhexdooda u soo diray libaaxyo, kuwaasoo iyagii qaar ka laayay. 26 Sidaas daraaddeed boqorkii Ashuur ayaa lala hadlay oo lagu yidhi, War quruumihii aad kaxaysay oo aad magaalooyinka Samaariya dejisay ma ay yaqaaniin camalka Ilaaha dalkaas, oo sidaas daraaddeed wuxuu dhexdooda u soo diray libaaxyo, oo bal eeg, libaaxyadu way laayaan, maxaa yeelay, iyagu ma ay yaqaaniin camalka Ilaaha dalkaas. 27 Markaasaa boqorkii Ashuur wuxuu bixiyey amar, oo yidhi, Wadaaddadii aad ka soo kaxayseen midkood halkaas ku celiya, oo halkaas ha tago oo ha dego, dadkana ha baro camalka Ilaaha dalkaas. 28 Haddaba wadaaddadii ay Samaariya ka soo kaxeeyeen midkood ayaa yimid, oo wuxuu degay Beytel, oo wuxuu dadkii baray siday Rabbiga uga cabsan lahaayeen. 29 Habase yeeshee quruun waluba waxay samaysatay ilaahyo ay iyagu leeyihiin, oo waxay dhex dhigteen guryihii meelaha sarsare oo ay reer Samaariya samaysteen, oo quruun waluba waxay dhex dhigteen magaalooyinkii ay iyagu degganaayeen. 30 Oo dadkii reer Baabuloon waxay samaysteen Sukood Benood, dadkii reer Kuudna waxay samaysteen Neergal, dadkii reer Xamaadna waxay samaysteen Ashiimaa, 31 oo reer Cawaana waxay samaysteen Nibxas iyo Tartaq, oo reer Sefarwayiimna waxay carruurtoodii dab ugu gubeen Adrammeleg iyo Canammeleg oo ahaa ilaahyadii reer Sefarwayiim. 32 Rabbiga way ka cabsan jireen oo waxay dadkooda ka dooran jireen wadaaddadii meelaha sarsare, kuwaasoo ugu allabaryi jiray guryihii meelaha sarsare. 33 Rabbiga way ka cabsan jireen, isla markaasna waxay u adeegi jireen ilaahyadoodii sidii quruumihii iyaga laga soo dhex kaxeeyey ay yeeli jireen. 34 Oo ilaa maantadan waxay sameeyaan sidii caadooyinkoodii hore ay ahaayeen, oo Rabbiga kama cabsadaan, mana ay sameeyaan qaynuunnadoodii, iyo xukummadoodii, iyo sharcigii iyo amarkii uu Rabbigu amray reer Yacquub, kii uu Israa'iil u bixiyey, 35 kuwaasoo uu Rabbigu axdi la dhigtay, oo uu ku amray, isagoo leh, Idinku ilaahyo kale ha ka cabsanina, hana u sujuudina, hana u adeegina, allabarina ha u bixinina; 36 laakiinse waxaad ka cabsataan Rabbigii dalkii Masar idinkaga soo bixiyey xoogga weyn iyo cudud fidsan, isagana u sujuuda oo allabari u bixiya; 37 oo qaynuunnadii, iyo xukummadii, iyo sharcigii, iyo amarkii uu idiin qoray waa inaad dhawrtaan oo aad weligiinba samaysaan, oo waa inaydnaan ka cabsan ilaahyo kale. 38 Oo axdigii aan idinla dhigtayna waa inaydnaan illoobin, oo aydnaan ilaahyo kale ka cabsan; 39 laakiinse waxaad ka cabsataan Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah, oo isna wuxuu idinka samatabbixin doonaa gacanta cadaawayaashiinna oo dhan. 40 Habase yeeshee iyagu ma ayan dhegaysan, laakiinse waxay sameeyeen sidii caadadoodii hore ay ahayd. 41 Quruumahaasu waxay ka cabsan jireen Rabbiga, isla markaasna waxay u adeegi jireen sanamyadoodii xardhanaa, oo carruurtoodiina saasoo kalay yeeleen, oo carruurtii carruurtooduna saasoo kalay yeeleen, oo sidii awowayaashood samayn jireen ayay iyaguna sameeyaan ilaa maantadan la joogo.

Hoshea Last King of Israel(A)

17 In the twelfth year of Ahaz king of Judah, Hoshea(B) son of Elah became king of Israel in Samaria, and he reigned nine years. He did evil(C) in the eyes of the Lord, but not like the kings of Israel who preceded him.

Shalmaneser(D) king of Assyria came up to attack Hoshea, who had been Shalmaneser’s vassal and had paid him tribute.(E) But the king of Assyria discovered that Hoshea was a traitor, for he had sent envoys to So[a] king of Egypt,(F) and he no longer paid tribute to the king of Assyria, as he had done year by year. Therefore Shalmaneser seized him and put him in prison.(G) The king of Assyria invaded the entire land, marched against Samaria and laid siege(H) to it for three years. In the ninth year of Hoshea, the king of Assyria(I) captured Samaria(J) and deported(K) the Israelites to Assyria. He settled them in Halah, in Gozan(L) on the Habor River and in the towns of the Medes.

Israel Exiled Because of Sin

All this took place because the Israelites had sinned(M) against the Lord their God, who had brought them up out of Egypt(N) from under the power of Pharaoh king of Egypt. They worshiped other gods and followed the practices of the nations(O) the Lord had driven out before them, as well as the practices that the kings of Israel had introduced. The Israelites secretly did things against the Lord their God that were not right. From watchtower to fortified city(P) they built themselves high places in all their towns. 10 They set up sacred stones(Q) and Asherah poles(R) on every high hill and under every spreading tree.(S) 11 At every high place they burned incense, as the nations whom the Lord had driven out before them had done. They did wicked things that aroused the Lord’s anger. 12 They worshiped idols,(T) though the Lord had said, “You shall not do this.”[b] 13 The Lord warned(U) Israel and Judah through all his prophets and seers:(V) “Turn from your evil ways.(W) Observe my commands and decrees, in accordance with the entire Law that I commanded your ancestors to obey and that I delivered to you through my servants the prophets.”(X)

14 But they would not listen and were as stiff-necked(Y) as their ancestors, who did not trust in the Lord their God. 15 They rejected his decrees and the covenant(Z) he had made with their ancestors and the statutes he had warned them to keep. They followed worthless idols(AA) and themselves became worthless.(AB) They imitated the nations(AC) around them although the Lord had ordered them, “Do not do as they do.”

16 They forsook all the commands of the Lord their God and made for themselves two idols cast in the shape of calves,(AD) and an Asherah(AE) pole. They bowed down to all the starry hosts,(AF) and they worshiped Baal.(AG) 17 They sacrificed(AH) their sons and daughters in the fire. They practiced divination and sought omens(AI) and sold(AJ) themselves to do evil in the eyes of the Lord, arousing his anger.

18 So the Lord was very angry with Israel and removed them from his presence.(AK) Only the tribe of Judah was left, 19 and even Judah did not keep the commands of the Lord their God. They followed the practices Israel had introduced.(AL) 20 Therefore the Lord rejected all the people of Israel; he afflicted them and gave them into the hands of plunderers,(AM) until he thrust them from his presence.(AN)

21 When he tore(AO) Israel away from the house of David, they made Jeroboam son of Nebat their king.(AP) Jeroboam enticed Israel away from following the Lord and caused them to commit a great sin.(AQ) 22 The Israelites persisted in all the sins of Jeroboam and did not turn away from them 23 until the Lord removed them from his presence,(AR) as he had warned(AS) through all his servants the prophets. So the people of Israel were taken from their homeland(AT) into exile in Assyria, and they are still there.

Samaria Resettled

24 The king of Assyria(AU) brought people from Babylon, Kuthah, Avva, Hamath and Sepharvaim(AV) and settled them in the towns of Samaria to replace the Israelites. They took over Samaria and lived in its towns. 25 When they first lived there, they did not worship the Lord; so he sent lions(AW) among them and they killed some of the people. 26 It was reported to the king of Assyria: “The people you deported and resettled in the towns of Samaria do not know what the god of that country requires. He has sent lions among them, which are killing them off, because the people do not know what he requires.”

27 Then the king of Assyria gave this order: “Have one of the priests you took captive from Samaria go back to live there and teach the people what the god of the land requires.” 28 So one of the priests who had been exiled from Samaria came to live in Bethel and taught them how to worship the Lord.

29 Nevertheless, each national group made its own gods in the several towns(AX) where they settled, and set them up in the shrines(AY) the people of Samaria had made at the high places.(AZ) 30 The people from Babylon made Sukkoth Benoth, those from Kuthah made Nergal, and those from Hamath made Ashima; 31 the Avvites made Nibhaz and Tartak, and the Sepharvites burned their children in the fire as sacrifices to Adrammelek(BA) and Anammelek, the gods of Sepharvaim.(BB) 32 They worshiped the Lord, but they also appointed all sorts(BC) of their own people to officiate for them as priests in the shrines at the high places. 33 They worshiped the Lord, but they also served their own gods in accordance with the customs of the nations from which they had been brought.

34 To this day they persist in their former practices. They neither worship the Lord nor adhere to the decrees and regulations, the laws and commands that the Lord gave the descendants of Jacob, whom he named Israel.(BD) 35 When the Lord made a covenant with the Israelites, he commanded them: “Do not worship(BE) any other gods or bow down to them, serve them or sacrifice to them.(BF) 36 But the Lord, who brought you up out of Egypt with mighty power and outstretched arm,(BG) is the one you must worship. To him you shall bow down and to him offer sacrifices. 37 You must always be careful(BH) to keep the decrees(BI) and regulations, the laws and commands he wrote for you. Do not worship other gods. 38 Do not forget(BJ) the covenant I have made with you, and do not worship other gods. 39 Rather, worship the Lord your God; it is he who will deliver you from the hand of all your enemies.”

40 They would not listen, however, but persisted in their former practices. 41 Even while these people were worshiping the Lord,(BK) they were serving their idols. To this day their children and grandchildren continue to do as their ancestors did.
