Hoshea Reigns over Israēl

1 In the 12th year of Ahaz king of Judah began Hoshea the son of Elah to reign in Samaria over Israēl nine years.

2 And he did what was evil in the sight of the LORD, but not as the kings of Israēl 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.

וַיִּמְצָא֩ מֶֽלֶךְ־אַשּׁ֨וּר בְּהֹושֵׁ֜עַ קֶ֗שֶׁר אֲשֶׁ֨ר שָׁלַ֤ח מַלְאָכִים֙ אֶל־סֹ֣וא מֶֽלֶךְ־מִצְרַ֔יִם וְלֹא־הֶעֱלָ֥ה מִנְחָ֛ה לְמֶ֥לֶךְ אַשּׁ֖וּר כְּשָׁנָ֣ה בְשָׁנָ֑ה וַֽיַּעַצְרֵ֙הוּ֙ מֶ֣לֶךְ אַשּׁ֔וּר וַיַּאַסְרֵ֖הוּ בֵּ֥ית כֶּֽלֶא׃

4 And the king of the Assyrians found iniquity in Osee, in that he sent messengers to Segor king of Egypt, and didn’t bring a tribute to the king of the Assyrians in that year: and the king of the Assyrians besieged him, and bound him in the prison-house. 4 And the king of the Assyrians found iniquity in Osee, in that he sent messengers to Segor king of Egypt, and didn’t bring a tribute to the king of the Assyrians in that year: and the king of the Assyrians besieged him, and bound him in the prison-house.

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

Israēl Captive

6 In the ninth year of Hoshea the king of Assyria took Samaria, and carried Israēl away into Assyria, and placed them in Halah and in Habor by the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes.

Why Israēl Fell

7 For so it was, that the children of Israēl had sinned against the LORD their God, which had brought them up out of the land of Egypt, from under the hand of Pharoah king of Egypt, and had feared other gods,

וַיְהִ֗י כִּֽי־חָטְא֤וּ בְנֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ לַיהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֵיהֶ֔ם הַמַּעֲלֶ֤ה אֹתָם֙ מֵאֶ֣רֶץ מִצְרַ֔יִם מִתַּ֕חַת יַ֖ד פַּרְעֹ֣ה מֶֽלֶךְ־מִצְרָ֑יִם וַיִּֽירְא֖וּ אֱלֹהִ֥ים אֲחֵרִֽים׃

7 καὶ 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 7 καὶ 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
7 For it came to pass that the children of Israēl had transgressed against the Lord their God, who had brought them up out of the land of Egypt, from under the hand of Pharaō king of Egypt, and they feared other gods, 7 For it came to pass that the children of Israēl had transgressed against the Lord their God, who had brought them up out of the land of Egypt, from under the hand of Pharaō king of Egypt, and they feared other gods,

8 And walked in the statutes of the heathen, whom the LORD cast out from before the children of Israēl, and of the kings of Israēl, which they had made.

וַיֵּֽלְכוּ֙ בְּחֻקֹּ֣ות הַגֹּויִ֔ם אֲשֶׁר֙ הֹורִ֣ישׁ יְהוָ֔ה מִפְּנֵ֖י בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל וּמַלְכֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל אֲשֶׁ֥ר עָשֽׂוּ׃

8 καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν τοῖς δικαιώμασιν τῶν ἐθνῶν, ὧν ἐξῆρεν κύριος ἀπὸ προσώπου υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ, καὶ οἱ βασιλεῖς Ἰσραήλ, ὅσοι ἐποίησαν, 8 καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν τοῖς δικαιώμασιν τῶν ἐθνῶν, ὧν ἐξῇρε Κύριος ἐκ προσώπου υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ, καὶ οἱ βασιλεῖς Ἰσραήλ, ὅσοι ἐποίησαν,
8 and walked in the statutes of the nations which the Lord cast out before the face of the children of Israēl, and of the kings of Israēl as many as did such things, 8 and walked in the statutes of the nations which the Lord cast out before the face of the children of Israēl, and of the kings of Israēl as many as did such things,

9 And the children of Israēl 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.

וַיְחַפְּא֣וּ בְנֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל דְּבָרִים֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר לֹא־כֵ֔ן עַל־יְהוָ֖ה אֱלֹהֵיהֶ֑ם וַיִּבְנ֨וּ לָהֶ֤ם בָּמֹות֙ בְּכָל־עָ֣רֵיהֶ֔ם מִמִּגְדַּ֥ל נֹוצְרִ֖ים עַד־עִ֥יר מִבְצָֽר׃


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

וַיַּצִּ֧בוּ לָהֶ֛ם מַצֵּבֹ֖ות וַאֲשֵׁרִ֑ים עַ֚ל כָּל־גִּבְעָ֣ה גְבֹהָ֔ה וְתַ֖חַת כָּל־עֵ֥ץ רַעֲנָֽן׃

10 καὶ ἐστήλωσαν ἑαυτοῖς στήλας καὶ ἄλση ἐπὶ παντὶ βουνῷ ὑψηλῷ καὶ ὑποκάτω παντὸς ξύλου ἀλσώδους 10 καὶ ἐστήλωσαν ἑαυτοῖς στήλας καὶ ἄλση ἐπὶ παντὶ βουνῷ ὑψηλῷ καὶ ὑποκάτω παντὸς ξύλου ἀλσώδους
10 and they built for themselves high places in all their cities, from the tower of the watchmen to the fortified city. And they made for themselves pillars and groves on every high hill, and under every shady tree. 10 and they built for themselves high places in all their cities, from the tower of the watchmen to the fortified city. And they made for themselves pillars and groves on every high hill, and under every shady tree.

11 And there they burned 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:

וַיְקַטְּרוּ־שָׁם֙ בְּכָל־בָּמֹ֔ות כַּגֹּויִ֕ם אֲשֶׁר־הֶגְלָ֥ה יְהוָ֖ה מִפְּנֵיהֶ֑ם וַֽיַּעֲשׂוּ֙ דְּבָרִ֣ים רָעִ֔ים לְהַכְעִ֖יס אֶת־יְהוָֽה׃

11 καὶ ἐθυμίασαν ἐκεῖ ἐν πᾶσιν ὑψηλοῖς καθὼς τὰ ἔθνη, ἀπῴκισεν κύριος ἐκ προσώπου αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐποίησαν κοινωνοὺς καὶ ἐχάραξαν τοῦ παροργίσαι τὸν κύριον 11 καὶ ἐθυμίασαν ἐκεῖ ἐν πᾶσιν ὑψηλοῖς καθὼς τὰ ἔθνη, ἀπῴκισε Κύριος ἐκ προσώπου αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐποίησαν κοινωνοὺς καὶ ἐχάλασαν τοῦ παροργίσαι τὸν Κύριον
11 And burned incense there on all high places, as the nations did whom the Lord removed from before them, and dealt with familiar spirits, and they carved images to provoke the Lord to anger. 11 And burned incense there on all high places, as the nations did whom the Lord removed from before them, and dealt with familiar spirits, and they carved images to provoke the Lord to anger.

12 For they served idols, of which the LORD had said unto them, You shall not do this thing.

וַיַּֽעַבְד֖וּ הַגִּלֻּלִ֑ים אֲשֶׁ֨ר אָמַ֤ר יְהוָה֙ לָהֶ֔ם לֹ֥א תַעֲשׂ֖וּ אֶת־הַדָּבָ֥ר הַזֶּֽה׃

12 καὶ ἐλάτρευσαν τοῖς εἰδώλοις, οἷς εἶπεν κύριος αὐτοῖς οὐ ποιήσετε τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο κυρίῳ. 12 καὶ ἐλάτρευσαν τοῖς εἰδώλοις, οἷς εἶπε Κύριος αὐτοῖς· οὐ ποιήσετε τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο τῷ Κυρίῳ.
12 And they served the idols, of which the Lord said to them, You shall not do this thing against the Lord. 12 And they served the idols, of which the Lord said to them, You shall not do this thing against the Lord.

13 Yet the LORD testified against Israēl, and against Judah, by all the prophets, and by all the seers, saying, Turn you 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.

וַיָּ֣עַד יְהוָ֡ה בְּיִשְׂרָאֵ֣ל וּבִיהוּדָ֡ה בְּיַד֩ כָּל־ כָל־חֹזֶ֜ה לֵאמֹ֗ר שֻׁ֝֩בוּ מִדַּרְכֵיכֶ֤ם הָֽרָעִים֙ וְשִׁמְרוּ֙ מִצְוֹתַ֣י חֻקֹּותַ֔י כְּכָ֨ל־הַתֹּורָ֔ה אֲשֶׁ֥ר צִוִּ֖יתִי אֶת־אֲבֹֽתֵיכֶ֑ם וַֽאֲשֶׁר֙ שָׁלַ֣חְתִּי אֲלֵיכֶ֔ם בְּיַ֖ד עֲבָדַ֥י הַנְּבִיאִֽים׃

13 καὶ διεμαρτύρατο κύριος ἐν τῷ Ἰσραὴλ καὶ ἐν τῷ Ἰούδα 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. 13 καὶ 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 ἔντολάς μου καὶ τὰ δικαιώματά μου καὶ πάντα τὸν νόμον, ὃν ἐνετειλάμην τοῖς πατράσιν ὑμῶν, ὅσα ἀπέστειλα αὐτοῖς ἐν χειρὶ τῶν δούλων μου τῶν προφητῶν.
13 And the Lord testified against Israēl and against Jouda, even by the hand of all his prophets, and of every seer, saying, Turn you from your evil ways, and keep my commandments and my ordinances, and all the law which I commanded your fathers, and all that I sent to them by the hand of my servants the prophets. 13 And the Lord testified against Israēl and against Jouda, even by the hand of all his prophets, and of every seer, saying, Turn you from your evil ways, and keep my commandments and my ordinances, and all the law which I commanded your fathers, and all that I sent to them by the hand of my servants the prophets.

14 Notwithstanding they would not hear, but hardened their necks, like to the neck of their fathers, that didn’t believe in the LORD their God.

וְלֹ֖א שָׁמֵ֑עוּ וַיַּקְשׁ֤וּ אֶת־עָרְפָּם֙ כְּעֹ֣רֶף אֲבֹותָ֔ם אֲשֶׁר֙ לֹ֣א הֶאֱמִ֔ינוּ בַּֽיהוָ֖ה אֱלֹהֵיהֶֽם׃

14 καὶ οὐκ ἤκουσαν καὶ ἐσκλήρυναν τὸν νῶτον αὐτῶν ὑπὲρ τὸν νῶτον τῶν πατέρων αὐτῶν 14 καὶ οὐκ ἤκουσαν καὶ ἐσκλήρυναν τὸν νῶτον αὐτῶν ὑπὲρ τὸν νῶτον τῶν πατέρων αὐτῶν
14 But they didn’t listen, and made their neck harder than the neck of their fathers. 14 But they didn’t listen, and made their neck harder than the neck of their fathers.

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.

וַיִּמְאֲס֣וּ אֶת־חֻקָּ֗יו וְאֶת־בְּרִיתֹו֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר כָּרַ֣ת אֶת־אֲבֹותָ֔ם וְאֵת֙ עֵֽדְוֹתָ֔יו אֲשֶׁ֥ר הֵעִ֖יד בָּ֑ם וַיֵּ֨לְכוּ֜ אַחֲרֵ֤י הַהֶ֙בֶל֙ וַיֶּהְבָּ֔לוּ וְאַחֲרֵ֤י הַגֹּויִם֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר סְבִֽיבֹתָ֔ם אֲשֶׁ֨ר צִוָּ֤ה יְהוָה֙ אֹתָ֔ם לְבִלְתִּ֖י עֲשֹׂ֥ות כָּהֶֽם׃

15 καὶ τὰ μαρτύρια αὐτοῦ, ὅσα διεμαρτύρατο αὐτοῖς, οὐκ ἐφύλαξαν καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν ὀπίσω τῶν ματαίων καὶ ἐματαιώθησαν καὶ ὀπίσω τῶν ἐθνῶν τῶν περικύκλῳ αὐτῶν, ὧν ἐνετείλατο αὐτοῖς τοῦ μὴ ποιῆσαι κατὰ ταῦτα· 15 καὶ 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.
15 And they didn’t keep any of his testimonies which he charged them; and they walked after vanities, and became vain, and after the nations round about them, concerning which the Lord had charged them not to do accordingly. 15 And they didn’t keep any of his testimonies which he charged them; and they walked after vanities, and became vain, and after the nations round about them, concerning which the Lord had charged them not to do accordingly.

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 objects of the sky, and served Baal.

וַיַּעַזְב֗וּ אֶת־כָּל־מִצְוֹת֙ יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֵיהֶ֔ם וַיַּעֲשׂ֥וּ לָהֶ֛ם מַסֵּכָ֖ה עֲגָלִ֑ים וַיַּעֲשׂ֣וּ אֲשֵׁירָ֗ה וַיִּֽשְׁתַּחֲווּ֙ לְכָל־צְבָ֣א הַשָּׁמַ֔יִם וַיַּעַבְד֖וּ אֶת־הַבָּֽעַל׃

16 They forsook the commandments of the Lord their God, and made themselves graven images, even two heifers, and they made groves, and worshipped all the planetary powers of the sky, and served Baal. 16 They forsook the commandments of the Lord their God, and made themselves graven images, even two heifers, and they made groves, and worshipped all the planetary powers of the sky, 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.

וַֽ֠יַּעֲבִירוּ אֶת־בְּנֵיהֶ֤ם וְאֶת־בְּנֹֽותֵיהֶם֙ בָּאֵ֔שׁ וַיִּקְסְמ֥וּ קְסָמִ֖ים וַיְנַחֵ֑שׁוּ וַיִּֽתְמַכְּר֗וּ לַעֲשֹׂ֥ות הָרַ֛ע בְּעֵינֵ֥י יְהוָ֖ה לְהַכְעִיסֹֽו׃

17 καὶ 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. 17 καὶ 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.
17 And they caused their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire, and used divinations and auspices, and sold themselves to work wickedness in the sight of the Lord, to provoke him. 17 And they caused their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire, and used divinations and auspices, and sold themselves to work wickedness in the sight of the Lord, to provoke him.

18 Therefore the LORD was very angry with Israēl, and removed them out of his sight: there was none left but the tribe of Judah only.

וַיִּתְאַנַּ֨ף יְהוָ֤ה מְאֹד֙ בְּיִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל וַיְסִרֵ֖ם מֵעַ֣ל פָּנָ֑יו לֹ֣א נִשְׁאַ֔ר רַ֛ק שֵׁ֥בֶט יְהוּדָ֖ה לְבַדֹּֽו׃

18 καὶ ἐθυμώθη κύριος σφόδρα ἐν τῷ Ἰσραὴλ καὶ ἀπέστησεν αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ τοῦ προσώπου αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐχ ὑπελείφθη πλὴν φυλὴ Ἰούδα μονωτάτη. 18 καὶ ἐθυμώθη Κύριος σφόδρα ἐν τῷ Ἰσραήλ, καὶ ἀπέστησεν αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ τοῦ προσώπου αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐχ ὑπελείφθη πλὴν φυλὴ Ἰούδα μονωτάτη.
18 And the Lord was very angry with Israēl, and removed them out of his sight; and there was only left the tribe of Jouda quite alone. 18 And the Lord was very angry with Israēl, and removed them out of his sight; and there was only left the tribe of Jouda quite alone.

19 Also Judah didn’t keep the commandments of the LORD their God, but walked in the statutes of Israēl which they made.

גַּם־יְהוּדָ֕ה לֹ֣א שָׁמַ֔ר אֶת־מִצְוֹ֖ת יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֵיהֶ֑ם וַיֵּ֣לְכ֔וּ בְּחֻקֹּ֥ות יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל אֲשֶׁ֥ר עָשֽׂוּ׃

19 καί γε Ἰούδας οὐκ ἐφύλαξεν τὰς ἐντολὰς κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ αὐτῶν καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν ἐν τοῖς δικαιώμασιν Ἰσραήλ, οἷς ἐποίησαν, 19 καί γε Ἰούδας οὐκ ἐφύλαξε τὰς ἐντολὰς Κυρίου τοῦ Θεοῦ αὐτῶν καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν ἐν τοῖς δικαιώμασιν Ἰσραήλ, οἷς ἐποίησαν,
19 No even Jouda didn’t keep the commandments of the Lord their God, but they walked according to the customs of Israēl which they practised, and rejected the Lord. 19 No even Jouda didn’t keep the commandments of the Lord their God, but they walked according to the customs of Israēl which they practised, and rejected the Lord.

20 And the LORD rejected all the seed of Israēl, and afflicted them, and delivered them into the hand of spoilers, until he had cast them out of his sight.

וַיִּמְאַ֨ס יְהוָ֜ה בְּכָל־זֶ֤רַע יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ וַיְעַנֵּ֔ם וַֽיִּתְּנֵ֖ם בְּיַד־שֹׁסִ֑ים עַ֛ד אֲשֶׁ֥ר הִשְׁלִיכָ֖ם מִפָּנָֽיו׃


21 For he rent Israēl from the house of David; and they made Jeroboam the son of Nebat king: and Jeroboam drove Israēl from following the LORD, and made them sin a great sin.

כִּֽי־קָרַ֣ע יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל מֵעַל֙ בֵּ֣ית דָּוִ֔ד וַיַּמְלִ֖יכוּ אֶת־יָרָבְעָ֣ם בֶּן־נְבָ֑ט יָרָבְעָ֤ם אֶת־יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ מֵאַחֲרֵ֣י יְהוָ֔ה וְהֶחֱטֵיאָ֖ם חֲטָאָ֥ה גְדֹולָֽה׃

21 ὅτι πλὴν Ἰσραὴλ ἐπάνωθεν οἴκου Δαυὶδ καὶ ἐβασίλευσαν τὸν Ἰεροβοὰμ υἱὸν Ναβάτ, καὶ ἐξέωσεν Ἰεροβοὰμ τὸν Ἰσραὴλ ἐξόπισθεν κυρίου καὶ ἐξήμαρτεν αὐτοὺς ἁμαρτίαν μεγάλην· 21 ὅτι πλὴν Ἰσραὴλ ἐπάνωθεν οἴκου Δαυὶδ καὶ ἐβασίλευσαν τὸν Ἱεροβοὰμ υἱὸν Ναβάτ, καὶ ἐξέωσεν Ἱεροβοὰμ τὸν Ἰσραὴλ ἐξόπισθεν Κυρίου καὶ ἐξήμαρτεν αὐτοὺς ἁμαρτίαν μεγάλην.
21 Forasmuch as Israēl revolted from the house of David, and they made Jeroboam the son of Nabat king: and Jeroboam drew off Israēl from following the Lord, and led them to sin a great sin. 21 Forasmuch as Israēl revolted from the house of David, and they made Jeroboam the son of Nabat king: and Jeroboam drew off Israēl from following the Lord, and led them to sin a great sin.

22 For the children of Israēl walked in all the sins of Jeroboam which he did; they didn’t depart from them;

וַיֵּֽלְכוּ֙ בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל בְּכָל־חַטֹּ֥אות יָרָבְעָ֖ם אֲשֶׁ֣ר עָשָׂ֑ה לֹא־סָ֖רוּ מִמֶּֽנָּה׃

22 καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ ἐν πάσῃ ἁμαρτίᾳ Ἰεροβοάμ, ἐποίησεν, οὐκ ἀπέστησαν ἀπ’ αὐτῆς, 22 καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ ἐν πάσῃ ἁμαρτίᾳ Ἱεροβοάμ, ἐποίησεν, οὐκ ἀπέστησαν ἀπ’ αὐτῆς,
22 And the children of Israēl walked in all the sin of Jeroboam which he committed; they didn’t depart from it, 22 And the children of Israēl walked in all the sin of Jeroboam which he committed; they didn’t depart from it,

23 Until the LORD removed Israēl out of his sight, as he had said by all his servants the prophets. So was Israēl carried away out of their own land to Assyria unto this day.

Cities of Israēl Filled with Strangers

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 Israēl: and they possessed Samaria, and dwelt in the cities of it.

24 καὶ ἤγαγεν βασιλεὺς Ἀσσυρίων ἐκ Βαβυλῶνος τὸν ἐκ Χουνθὰ καὶ ἀπὸ Ἀιὰ καὶ ἀπὸ Αἰμὰθ καὶ Σεπφαρουαίν, καὶ κατῳκίσθησαν ἐν πόλεσιν Σαμαρείας ἀντὶ τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ καὶ ἐκληρονόμησαν τὴν Σαμάρειαν καὶ κατῴκησαν ἐν ταῖς πόλεσιν αὐτῆς. 24 Καὶ 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.
24 And the king of Assyria brought from Babylon the men of Chutha, and men from Aia, and from Aimath, and Seppharvaim, and they were settled in the cities of Samaria in the place of the children of Israēl: and they inherited Samaria, and were settled in its cities. 24 And the king of Assyria brought from Babylon the men of Chutha, and men from Aia, and from Aimath, and Seppharvaim, and they were settled in the cities of Samaria in the place of the children of Israēl: and they inherited Samaria, and were settled in its cities.

25 And so it was at the beginning of their dwelling there, that they didn’t fear the LORD: therefore the LORD sent lions among them, which slew some of them.

וַיְהִ֗י בִּתְחִלַּת֙ שִׁבְתָּ֣ם שָׁ֔ם לֹ֥א יָרְא֖וּ אֶת־יְהוָ֑ה וַיְשַׁלַּ֨ח יְהוָ֤ה בָּהֶם֙ אֶת־הָ֣אֲרָיֹ֔ות וַיִּֽהְי֥וּ הֹרְגִ֖ים בָּהֶֽם׃

25 καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν ἀρχῇ τῆς καθέδρας αὐτῶν οὐκ ἐφοβήθησαν τὸν κύριον, καὶ ἀπέστειλεν κύριος ἐν αὐτοῖς τοὺς λέοντας, καὶ ἦσαν ἀποκτέννοντες ἐν αὐτοῖς. 25 καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν ἀρχῇ τῆς καθέδρας αὐτῶν οὐκ ἐφοβήθησαν τὸν Κύριον, καὶ ἀπέστειλε Κύριος ἐν αὐτοῖς τοὺς λέοντας, καὶ ἦσαν ἀποκτέννοντες ἐν αὐτοῖς.
25 And it was so at the beginning of their establishment there that they didn’t fear the Lord, and the Lord sent lions among them, and they slew some of them. 25 And it was so at the beginning of their establishment there that they didn’t fear the Lord, and the Lord sent lions among them, and they slew some of them.

26 Therefore they spoke to the king of Assyria, saying, The nations which you have removed, and placed in the cities of Samaria, don’t know the manner of the God of the land: therefore he has sent lions among them, and, behold, they slay them, because they don’t know the manner of the God of the land.

26 καὶ εἶπον τῷ βασιλεῖ Ἀσσυρίων λέγοντες τὰ ἔθνη, ἀπῴκισας καὶ ἀντεκάθισας ἐν πόλεσιν Σαμαρείας, οὐκ ἔγνωσαν τὸ κρίμα τοῦ θεοῦ τῆς γῆς, καὶ ἀπέστειλεν εἰς αὐτοὺς τοὺς λέοντας, καὶ ἰδού εἰσιν θανατοῦντες αὐτούς, καθότι οὐκ οἴδασιν τὸ κρίμα τοῦ θεοῦ τῆς γῆς. 26 καὶ εἶπαν τῷ βασιλεῖ Ἀσσυρίων λέγοντες· τὰ ἔθνη, 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,
26 And they spoke to the king of the Assyrians, saying, The nations whom you have removed and substituted in the cities of Samaria for the Israēlites, don’t know the manner of the God of the land: and he has sent the lions against them, and, behold, they are slaying them, because they don’t know the manner of the God of the land. 26 And they spoke to the king of the Assyrians, saying, The nations whom you have removed and substituted in the cities of Samaria for the Israēlites, don’t know the manner of the God of the land: and he has sent the lions against them, and, behold, they are slaying them, because they don’t know the manner of the God of the land.

27 Then the king of Assyria commanded, saying, Carry to that place one of the priests whom you brought from there; and let them go and dwell there, and let him teach them the manner of the God of the land.

וַיְצַ֨ו מֶֽלֶךְ־אַשּׁ֜וּר לֵאמֹ֗ר הֹלִ֤יכוּ שָׁ֙מָּה֙ אֶחָ֤ד מֵהַכֹּֽהֲנִים֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר הִגְלִיתֶ֣ם מִשָּׁ֔ם וְיֵלְכ֖וּ וְיֵ֣שְׁבוּ שָׁ֑ם וְיֹרֵ֕ם אֶת־מִשְׁפַּ֖ט אֱלֹהֵ֥י הָאָֽרֶץ׃

27 καὶ ἐνετείλατο βασιλεὺς Ἀσσυρίων λέγων ἀπάγετε ἐκεῖθεν καὶ πορευέσθωσαν καὶ κατοικείτωσαν ἐκεῖ καὶ φωτιοῦσιν αὐτοὺς τὸ κρίμα τοῦ θεοῦ τῆς γῆς. 27 καὶ ἐνετείλατο βασιλεὺς Ἀσσυρίων λέγων· ἀπάγετε ἐκεῖθεν καὶ πορευέσθωσαν καὶ κατοικήτωσαν ἐκεῖ καὶ φωτιοῦσιν αὐτοὺς τὸ κρίμα τοῦ Θεοῦ τῆς γῆς.
27 And the king of the Assyrians commanded, saying, Bring some Israēlites from there, and let them go and dwell there, and they shall teach them the manner of the God of the land. 27 And the king of the Assyrians commanded, saying, Bring some Israēlites from there, and let them go and dwell there, and they shall 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.

וַיָּבֹ֞א אֶחָ֣ד מֵהַכֹּהֲנִ֗ים אֲשֶׁ֤ר הִגְלוּ֙ מִשֹּׁ֣מְרֹ֔ון וַיֵּ֖שֶׁב בְּבֵֽית־אֵ֑ל וַֽיְהִי֙ מֹורֶ֣ה אֹתָ֔ם אֵ֖יךְ יִֽירְא֥וּ אֶת־יְהוָֽה׃

28 καὶ ἤγαγον ἕνα τῶν ἱερέων, ὧν ἀπῴκισαν ἀπὸ Σαμαρείας, καὶ ἐκάθισεν ἐν Βαιθὴλ καὶ ἦν φωτίζων αὐτοὺς πῶς φοβηθῶσιν τὸν κύριον. 28 καὶ ἤγαγον ἕνα τῶν ἱερέων, ὧν ἀπῴκισαν ἀπὸ Σαμαρείας, καὶ ἐκάθισεν ἐν Βαιθὴλ καὶ ἦν φωτίζων αὐτοὺς πῶς φοβηθῶσι τὸν Κύριον.
28 And they brought one of the priests whom they had removed from Samaria, and he settled in Baethel, and taught them how they should fear the Lord. 28 And they brought one of the priests whom they had removed from Samaria, and he settled in Baethel, and taught them how they should fear the Lord.

29 However 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 in which they dwelt.

וַיִּהְי֣וּ עֹשִׂ֔ים גֹּ֥וי גֹּ֖וי אֱלֹהָ֑יו וַיַּנִּ֣יחוּ ׀ בְּבֵ֣ית הַבָּמֹ֗ות אֲשֶׁ֤ר עָשׂוּ֙ הַשֹּׁ֣מְרֹנִ֔ים גֹּ֥וי גֹּוי֙ בְּעָ֣רֵיהֶ֔ם אֲשֶׁ֛ר הֵ֥ם יֹשְׁבִ֖ים שָֽׁם׃

29 καὶ ἦσαν ποιοῦντες ἔθνη ἔθνη θεοὺς αὐτῶν καὶ ἔθηκαν ἐν οἴκῳ τῶν ὑψηλῶν, ὧν ἐποίησαν οἱ Σαμαρῖται, ἔθνη ἐν ταῖς πόλεσιν αὐτῶν, ἐν αἷς κατῴκουν ἐν αὐταῖς· 29 καὶ 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.
29 But the nations made each their own gods, and put them in the house of the high places which the Samaritans had made, each nation in the cities in which they dwelt. 29 But the nations made each their own gods, and put them in the house of the high places which the Samaritans had made, each nation in the cities in which 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,

וְאַנְשֵׁ֣י בָבֶ֗ל עָשׂוּ֙ אֶת־סֻכֹּ֣ות בְּנֹ֔ות וְאַנְשֵׁי־כ֔וּת עָשׂ֖וּ אֶת־נֵֽרְגַ֑ל וְאַנְשֵׁ֥י חֲמָ֖ת עָשׂ֥וּ אֶת־אֲשִׁימָֽא׃


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

וְהָעַוִּ֛ים עָשׂ֥וּ נִבְחַ֖ז וְאֶת־תַּרְתָּ֑ק וְהַסְפַרְוִ֗ים שֹׂרְפִ֤ים אֶת־בְּנֵיהֶם֙ בָּאֵ֔שׁ לְאַדְרַמֶּ֥לֶךְ וַֽעֲנַמֶּ֖לֶךְ

31 καὶ οἱ Εὐαῖοι ἐποίησαν τὴν Ἐβλαζὲρ καὶ τὴν Θαρθάκ, καὶ οἱ Σεπφαρουαὶν κατέκαιον τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτῶν ἐν πυρὶ τῷ Ἀδραμελὲχ καὶ Ἀνημελὲχ θεοῖς Σεπφαρουαίν. 31 καὶ οἱ Εὐαῖοι ἐποίησαν τὴν Ἐβλαζὲρ καὶ τὴν Θαρθάκ, καὶ οἱ Σεπφαρουαῒμ κατέκαιον τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτῶν ἐν πυρὶ τῷ Ἀδραμέλεχ καὶ Ἀνημελέχ, θεοῖς Σεπφαρουαΐμ.
31 And the Evites made Eblazer and Tharthac, and the inhabitant of Seppharvaim did evil when they burned their sons in the fire to Adramelech and Anemelech, the gods of Seppharvaim. 31 And the Evites made Eblazer and Tharthac, and the inhabitant of Seppharvaim did evil when they burned their sons in the fire to Adramelech and Anemelech, the gods of Seppharvaim.

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.

וַיִּהְי֥וּ יְרֵאִ֖ים אֶת־יְהוָ֑ה וַיַּעֲשׂ֨וּ לָהֶ֤ם מִקְצֹותָם֙ כֹּהֲנֵ֣י בָמֹ֔ות וַיִּהְי֛וּ עֹשִׂ֥ים לָהֶ֖ם בְּבֵ֥ית הַבָּמֹֽות׃

32 καὶ ἦσαν φοβούμενοι τὸν κύριον καὶ κατῴκισαν τὰ βδελύγματα αὐτῶν ἐν τοῖς οἴκοις τῶν ὑψηλῶν, ἐποίησαν ἐν Σαμαρείᾳ, ἔθνος ἔθνος ἐν πόλει ἐν κατῴκουν ἐν αὐτῇ· καὶ ἦσαν φοβούμενοι τὸν κύριον καὶ ἐποίησαν ἑαυτοῖς ἱερεῖς τῶν ὑψηλῶν καὶ ἐποίησαν ἑαυτοῖς ἐν οἴκῳ τῶν ὑψηλῶν. 32 καὶ ἦσαν φοβούμενοι τὸν Κύριον καὶ κατῴκισαν τὰ βδελύγματα αὐτῶν ἐν τοῖς οἴκοις τῶν ὑψηλῶν, ἐποίησαν ἐν Σαμαρείᾳ, ἔθνος ἔθνος ἐν πόλει, ἐν κατῴκουν ἐν αὐτῇ· καὶ ἦσαν φοβούμενοι τὸν Κύριον καὶ ἐποίησαν ἑαυτοῖς ἱερεῖς τῶν ὑψηλῶν καὶ ἐποίησαν ἐν οἴκῳ τῶν ὑψηλῶν.
32 And they feared the Lord, yet they established their abominations in the houses of the high places which they made in Samaria, each nation in the city in which they dwelt: and they feared the Lord, and they made for themselves priests of the high places, and sacrificed for themselves in the house of the high places. 32 And they feared the Lord, yet they established their abominations in the houses of the high places which they made in Samaria, each nation in the city in which they dwelt: and they feared the Lord, and they made for themselves priests of the high places, and sacrificed for themselves in the house 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 there.

אֶת־יְהוָ֖ה הָי֣וּ יְרֵאִ֑ים וְאֶת־אֱלֹֽהֵיהֶם֙ הָי֣וּ עֹֽבְדִ֔ים כְּמִשְׁפַּט֙ הַגֹּויִ֔ם אֲשֶׁר־הִגְל֥וּ אֹתָ֖ם מִשָּֽׁם׃

33 τὸν κύριον ἐφοβοῦντο καὶ τοῖς θεοῖς αὐτῶν ἐλάτρευον κατὰ τὸ κρίμα τῶν ἐθνῶν, ὅθεν ἀπῴκισεν αὐτοὺς ἐκεῖθεν. 33 καὶ τὸν Κύριον ἐφοβοῦντο καὶ τοῖς θεοῖς αὐτῶν ἐλάτρευον κατὰ τὸ κρίμα τῶν ἐθνῶν, ὅθεν ἀπῴκισαν αὐτοὺς ἐκεῖθεν.
33 And they feared the Lord, and served their gods according to the manner of the nations, from where their lords brought them. 33 And they feared the Lord, and served their gods according to the manner of the nations, from where their lords brought them.

34 Unto this day they do after the former manners: they don’t fear 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 Israēl;

עַ֣ד הַיֹּ֤ום הַזֶּה֙ הֵ֣ם עֹשִׂ֔ים כַּמִּשְׁפָּטִ֖ים הָרִֽאשֹׁנִ֑ים אֵינָ֤ם יְרֵאִים֙ אֶת־יְהוָ֔ה וְאֵינָ֣ם עֹשִׂ֗ים כְּחֻקֹּתָם֙ וּכְמִשְׁפָּטָ֔ם וְכַתֹּורָ֣ה וְכַמִּצְוָ֗ה אֲשֶׁ֨ר צִוָּ֤ה יְהוָה֙ אֶת־בְּנֵ֣י יַעֲקֹ֔ב אֲשֶׁר־שָׂ֥ם שְׁמֹ֖ו יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃

34 Until this day they did according to their manner: they fear the Lord, and they do according to their customs, and according to their manner, and according to the law, and according to the commandment which the Lord commanded the sons of Jacob, whose name he made Israēl. 34 Until this day they did according to their manner: they fear the Lord, and they do according to their customs, and according to their manner, and according to the law, and according to the commandment which the Lord commanded the sons of Jacob, whose name he made Israēl.

35 With whom the LORD had made a covenant, and charged them saying, You shall not fear other gods, nor bow yourselves to them, nor serve them, nor sacrifice to them:

וַיִּכְרֹ֨ת יְהוָ֤ה אִתָּם֙ בְּרִ֔ית וַיְצַוֵּ֣ם לֵאמֹ֔ר לֹ֥א תִֽירְא֖וּ אֱלֹהִ֣ים אֲחֵרִ֑ים וְלֹא־תִשְׁתַּחֲו֣וּ לָהֶ֔ם וְלֹ֣א תַעַבְד֔וּם וְלֹ֥א תִזְבְּח֖וּ לָהֶֽם׃


36 But the LORD, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt with great power and a stretched out arm, him shall you fear, and him shall you worship, and to him shall you do sacrifice.

כִּ֣י אִֽם־אֶת־יְהוָ֗ה אֲשֶׁר֩ הֶעֱלָ֨ה אֶתְכֶ֜ם מֵאֶ֧רֶץ מִצְרַ֛יִם בְּכֹ֧חַ גָּדֹ֛ול וּבִזְרֹ֥ועַ נְטוּיָ֖ה אֹתֹ֣ו תִירָ֑אוּ וְלֹ֥ו תִֽשְׁתַּחֲו֖וּ וְלֹ֥ו תִזְבָּֽחוּ׃

36 ὅτι ἀλλ’ τῷ κυρίῳ, ὃς ἀνήγαγεν ὑμᾶς ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου ἐν ἰσχύϊ μεγάλῃ καὶ ἐν βραχίονι ὑψηλῷ, αὐτὸν φοβηθήσεσθε καὶ αὐτῷ προσκυνήσετε καὶ αὐτῷ θύσετε 36 ὅτι ἀλλ’ τῷ Κυρίῳ, ὃς ἀνήγαγεν ὑμᾶς ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου ἐν ἰσχύϊ μεγάλῃ καὶ ἐν βραχίονι ὑψηλῷ, αὐτὸν φοβηθήσεσθε καὶ αὐτῷ προσκυνήσετε, αὐτῷ θύσετε·
36 but only to the Lord, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt with great strength and with a high arm: him shall you fear, and him shall you worship; to him shall you sacrifice. 36 but only to the Lord, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt with great strength and with a high arm: him shall you fear, and him shall you worship; to him shall you sacrifice.

37 And the statutes, and the ordinances, and the law, and the commandment, which he wrote for you, you shall observe to do forevermore; and you shall not fear other gods.

וְאֶת־הַחֻקִּ֨ים וְאֶת־הַמִּשְׁפָּטִ֜ים וְהַתֹּורָ֤ה וְהַמִּצְוָה֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר כָּתַ֣ב לָכֶ֔ם תִּשְׁמְר֥וּן לַעֲשֹׂ֖ות כָּל־הַיָּמִ֑ים וְלֹ֥א תִֽירְא֖וּ אֱלֹהִ֥ים אֲחֵרִֽים׃

37 καὶ τὰ δικαιώματα καὶ τὰ κρίματα καὶ τὸν νόμον καὶ τὰς ἐντολάς, ἃς ἔγραψεν ὑμῖν, φυλάσσεσθε ποιεῖν πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας καὶ οὐ φοβηθήσεσθε θεοὺς ἑτέρους· 37 καὶ τὰ δικαιώματα καὶ τὰ κρίματα καὶ τὸν νόμον καὶ τὰς ἔντολάς, ἃς ἔγραψεν ὑμῖν ποιεῖν, φυλάσσεσθε πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας καὶ οὐ φοβηθήσεσθε θεοὺς ἑτέρους·
37 You shall observe continually the ordinances, and the judgments, and the law, and the commandments which he wrote for you to do; and you shall not fear other gods. 37 You shall observe continually the ordinances, and the judgments, and the law, and the commandments which he wrote for you to do; and you shall not fear other gods.

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

וְהַבְּרִ֛ית אֲשֶׁר־כָּרַ֥תִּי אִתְּכֶ֖ם לֹ֣א תִשְׁכָּ֑חוּ וְלֹ֥א תִֽירְא֖וּ אֱלֹהִ֥ים אֲחֵרִֽים׃

38 καὶ τὴν διαθήκην, ἣν διέθετο μεθ’ ὑμῶν, οὐκ ἐπιλήσεσθε καὶ οὐ φοβηθήσεσθε θεοὺς ἑτέρους, 38 καὶ τὴν διαθήκην, ἣν διέθετο μεθ’ ὑμῶν, οὐκ ἐπιλήσεσθε καὶ οὐ φοβηθήσεσθε θεοὺς ἑτέρους,
38 Neither shall you forget the covenant which he made with you: and you shall not fear other gods. 38 Neither shall you forget the covenant which he made with you: and you shall not fear other gods.

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

כִּ֛י אִֽם־אֶת־יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֵיכֶ֖ם תִּירָ֑אוּ וְהוּא֙ יַצִּ֣יל אֶתְכֶ֔ם מִיַּ֖ד כָּל־אֹיְבֵיכֶֽם׃


40 However they didn’t listen, but they did after their former manner.

וְלֹ֖א שָׁמֵ֑עוּ כִּ֛י אִֽם־כְּמִשְׁפָּטָ֥ם הָֽרִאשֹׁ֖ון הֵ֥ם עֹשִֽׂים׃

40 καὶ οὐκ ἀκούσεσθε ἐπὶ τῷ κρίματι αὐτῶν, αὐτοὶ ποιοῦσιν. 40 καὶ οὐκ ἀκούσεσθε ἐπὶ τῷ κρίματι αὐτῶν, ὃν αὐτοὶ ποιοῦσι.
40 Neither shall you comply with their practice, which they follow. 40 Neither shall you comply with their practice, which they follow.

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.

וַיִּהְי֣וּ ׀ הַגֹּויִ֣ם הָאֵ֗לֶּה יְרֵאִים֙ אֶת־יְהוָ֔ה וְאֶת־פְּסִֽילֵיהֶ֖ם הָי֣וּ עֹֽבְדִ֑ים גַּם־בְּנֵיהֶ֣ם ׀ וּבְנֵ֣י בְנֵיהֶ֗ם כַּאֲשֶׁ֨ר עָשׂ֤וּ אֲבֹתָם֙ הֵ֣ם עֹשִׂ֔ים עַ֖ד הַיֹּ֥ום הַזֶּֽה׃
