Chapter 17
1 Dvanaeste godine carovanja Ahazovog nad Judom zacari se u Samariji nad Izrailjem Osija, sin Ilin, i carova devet godina.
2 I činjaše što je zlo pred Gospodom, ali ne kao carevi Izrailjevi koji biše pre njega.
3 Na njega dođe Salmanasar car asirski, i Osija mu posta sluga, te mu plaćaše danak.
4 Ali car asirski opazi da Osija hoće da se odmetne, jer Osija posla poslanike k Soju, caru misirskom i ne posla danak godišnji caru asirskom; zato ga opkoli car asirski i svezavši baci ga u tamnicu.
5 A car asirski prođe svu zemlju i dođe na Samariju, i bi je tri godine.
6 Devete godine Osijine uze car asirski Samariju i odvede Izrailja u Asiriju i naseli u Alaju i u Avoru na vodi Gozanu i u gradovima midskim.
7 A to bi što sinovi Izrailjevi grešiše Gospodu Bogu svom, koji ih je izveo iz zemlje misirske ispod ruke Faraona, cara misirskog, i bojaše se drugih bogova,
8 i hodiše po uredbama naroda koji odagna Gospod ispred sinova Izrailjevih, i kako činiše carevi Izrailjevi;
9 i tajno činiše sinovi Izrailjevi šta nije pravo pred Gospodom Bogom njihovim, i pogradiše visine po svim gradovima svojim, od kule stražarske do gradova ozidanih.
10 I podigoše likove i lugove na svakom visokom humu i pod svakim zelenim drvetom.
11 I kađahu onuda po svim visinama kao narodi koje odagna Gospod ispred njih, i činjahu zle stvari gneveći Gospoda.
12 I služahu gadnim bogovima, za koje im beše Gospod rekao: Ne činite to.
13 I Gospod opominjaše Izrailja i Judu preko svih proroka i svih videlaca govoreći: Vratite se sa zlih puteva svojih i držite zapovesti moje i uredbe moje po svemu zakonu koji sam zapovedio ocima vašim i koji sam vam poslao po slugama svojim prorocima.
14 Ali ne poslušaše; nego behu tvrdovrati kao i oci njihovi, koji ne verovaše Gospodu Bogu svom.
15 I odbaciše uredbe Njegove i zavet Njegov, koji učini s ocima njihovim, i svedočanstva Njegova, kojima im svedočaše, i hodiše za ništavilom i postaše ništavi, i za narodima koji behu oko njih, za koje im beše zapovedio Gospod da ne čine kao oni.
16 I ostaviše sve zapovesti Gospoda Boga svog, i načiniše sebi livene likove, dva teleta, i lugove, i klanjaše se svoj vojsci nebeskoj, i služaše Valu.
17 I provodiše sinove svoje i kćeri svoje kroz oganj, i davaše se na vračanje i gatanje, i prodaše se da čine zlo pred Gospodom gneveći Ga.
18 Zato se Gospod razgnevi vrlo na Izrailja, i odbaci ih od sebe, te ne osta nego samo pleme Judino.
19 Pa ni Juda ne držaše zapovesti Gospoda Boga svog, nego hođaše po uredbama koje načiniše Izrailjci.
20 Zato Gospod povrže sve seme Izrailjevo, i muči ih, i predade ih u ruke onima koji ih plene, dokle ih i odbaci od sebe.
21 Jer se otcepiše Izrailjci od doma Davidovog, i postaviše carem Jerovoama, sina Navatovog, a Jerovoam odbi Izrailjce od Gospoda i navede ih da greše grehom velikim.
22 I hodiše sinovi Izrailjevi u svim gresima Jerovoamovim koje je on činio, i ne odstupiše od njih;
23 dokle Gospod ne odbaci Izrailja od sebe kao što je govorio preko svih sluga svojih proroka, i tako preseljen bi Izrailj iz zemlje svoje u Asirsku do današnjeg dana.
24 Potom dovede car asirski ljude iz Vavilona i iz Hute i iz Ave i iz Emata i iz Sefarvima, i naseli ih u gradovima samarijskim mesto Izrailjaca, i naslediše Samariju, i življahu po gradovima njenim.
25 A kad počeše živeti onde, ne bojahu se Gospoda, a Gospod posla na njih lavove, koji ih davljahu.
26 Zato rekoše caru asirskom govoreći: Ovi narodi koje si doveo i naselio u gradovima samarijskim ne znaju zakone Boga one zemlje; zato posla na njih lavove, koji ih eto more, jer ne znaju zakone Boga one zemlje.
27 Tada zapovedi car asirski i reče: Odvedite onamo jednog od sveštenika koje ste doveli odande, pa neka ide i sedi onde, neka ih uči zakonu Boga one zemlje.
28 I tako jedan od sveštenika, koje behu odveli iz Samarije, dođe i nastani se u Vetilju, i učaše ih kako će se bojati Gospoda.
29 Ali načiniše sebi svaki narod svoje bogove, i pometaše ih u kuće visina, koje behu načinili Samarjani, svaki narod u svojim gradovima u kojima življahu.
30 Jer Vavilonjani načiniše Sokot-Venotu, a Hućani načiniše Nergala, a Emaćani načiniše Asima;
31 i Avljani načiniše Nivaza i Tartaka, a Sefarvimci spaljivahu sinove svoje ognjem Adramelehu i Anamelehu bogovima sefarvimskim.
32 Ali se bojahu Gospoda, i postaviše između sebe sveštenike visinama, koji im služahu u domovima visina;
33 bojahu se Gospoda, ali i svojim bogovima služahu po običaju onih naroda iz kojih ih preseliše.
34 I do današnjeg dana rade po starim običajima; ne boje se Gospoda, a ne rade ni po svojim uredbama i običajima, ni po zakonu i zapovesti što je zapovedio Gospod sinovima Jakova, kome nade ime Izrailj;
35 s kojima učini Gospod zavet i zapovedi im i reče: Ne bojte se drugih bogova niti im se klanjajte niti im služite niti im prinosite žrtava;
36 nego Gospoda, koji vas je izveo iz zemlje misirske silom velikom i mišicom podignutom, Njega se bojte i Njemu se klanjajte i Njemu prinosite žrtve;
37 i uredbe i pravila i zakon i zapovesti što vam je napisao držite izvršujući ih uvek, i ne bojte se drugih bogova.
38 I ne zaboravljajte zavet koji je učinio s vama, i ne bojte se drugih bogova.
39 Nego Gospoda Boga svog bojte se, i On će vas izbaviti iz ruku svih neprijatelja vaših.
40 Ali ne poslušaše, nego radiše po starom svom običaju.
41 Tako ovi narodi bojahu se Gospoda i idolima svojim služahu; i sinovi njihovi i sinovi sinova njihovih čine do današnjeg dana onako kako su činili oci njihovi.

2 Kings

Chapter 17
1 In the twelfth year of Ahaz king of Judah began Hoshea the son of Elah to reign in Samaria over Israel nine years.
2 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, but not as the kings of Israel that were before him.
3 ¶ Against him came up Shalmaneser king of Assyria; and Hoshea became his servant, and gave him presents.
4 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.
5 ¶ Then the king of Assyria came up throughout all the land, and went up to Samaria, and besieged it three years.
6 ¶ 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.
7 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,
8 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.
9 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 Beth-el, 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 Succoth-benoth, 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.
