1 In the twelfth8147 6240 year8141 of Ahaz271 king4428 of Judah3063 began Hoshea1954 the son1121 of Elah425 to reign4427 in Samaria8111 over5921 Israel3478 nine8672 years.8141 2 And he did6213 that which was evil7451 in the sight5869 of the LORD,3068 but7535 not3808 as the kings4428 of Israel3478 that834 were1961 before6440 him. 3 Against5921 him came up5927 Shalmaneser8022 king4428 of Assyria;804 and Hoshea1954 became1961 his servant,5650 and gave7725 him presents.4503 4 And the king4428 of Assyria804 found4672 conspiracy7195 in Hoshea:1954 for he had sent7971 messengers4397 to413 So5471 king4428 of Egypt,4714 and brought5927 no3808 present4503 to the king4428 of Assyria,804 as he had done year8141 by year:8141 therefore the king4428 of Assyria804 shut him up,6113 and bound631 him in prison.1004 3608 5 Then the king4428 of Assyria804 came up5927 throughout all3605 the land,776 and went up5927 to Samaria,8111 and besieged6696 5921 it three7969 years.8141 6 In the ninth8671 year8141 of Hoshea1954 the king4428 of Assyria804 took3920 853 Samaria,8111 and carried Israel away1540 853 3478 into Assyria,804 and placed3427 them in Halah2477 and in Habor2249 by the river5104 of Gozan,1470 and in the cities5892 of the Medes.4074 7 For so it was,1961 that3588 the children1121 of Israel3478 had sinned2398 against the LORD3068 their God,430 which had brought them up5927 853 out of the land4480 776 of Egypt,4714 from under4480 8478 the hand3027 of Pharaoh6547 king4428 of Egypt,4714 and had feared3372 other312 gods,430 8 And walked1980 in the statutes2708 of the heathen,1471 whom834 the LORD3068 cast out3423 from before4480 6440 the children1121 of Israel,3478 and of the kings4428 of Israel,3478 which834 they had made.6213 9 And the children1121 of Israel3478 did secretly2644 those things1697 that834 were not3808 right3651 against5921 the LORD3068 their God,430 and they built1129 them high places1116 in all3605 their cities,5892 from the tower4480 4026 of the watchmen5341 to5704 the fenced4013 city.5892 10 And they set them up5324 images4676 and groves842 in5921 every3605 high1364 hill,1389 and under8478 every3605 green7488 tree:6086 11 And there8033 they burnt incense6999 in all3605 the high places,1116 as did the heathen1471 whom834 the LORD3068 carried away1540 before4480 6440 them; and wrought6213 wicked7451 things1697 to provoke3707 853 the LORD3068 to anger: 12 For they served5647 idols,1544 whereof834 the LORD3068 had said559 unto them, Ye shall not3808 do6213 853 this2088 thing.1697 13 Yet the LORD3068 testified5749 against Israel,3478 and against Judah,3063 by3027 all3605 the prophets,5030 and by all3605 the seers,2374 saying,559 Turn7725 ye from your evil ways,4480 1870 7451 and keep8104 my commandments4687 and my statutes,2708 according to all3605 the law8451 which834 I commanded6680 853 your fathers,1 and which834 I sent7971 to413 you by3027 my servants5650 the prophets.5030 14 Notwithstanding they would not3808 hear,8085 but hardened7185 853 their necks,6203 like to the neck6203 of their fathers,1 that834 did not3808 believe539 in the LORD3068 their God.430 15 And they rejected3988 853 his statutes,2706 and his covenant1285 that834 he made3772 with854 their fathers,1 and his testimonies5715 which834 he testified5749 against them; and they followed1980 310 vanity,1892 and became vain,1891 and went after310 the heathen1471 that834 were round about5439 them, concerning whom834 the LORD3068 had charged6680 them, that they should not1115 do6213 like them. 16 And they left5800 853 all3605 the commandments4687 of the LORD3068 their God,430 and made6213 them molten images,4541 even two8147 calves,5695 and made6213 a grove,842 and worshiped7812 all3605 the host6635 of heaven,8064 and served5647 853 Baal.1168 17 And they caused 853 their sons1121 and their daughters1323 to pass through5674 the fire,784 and used7080 divination7081 and enchantments,5172 and sold themselves4376 to do6213 evil7451 in the sight5869 of the LORD,3068 to provoke him to anger.3707 18 Therefore the LORD3068 was very angry599 3966 with Israel,3478 and removed5493 them out of4480 5921 his sight:6440 there was none3808 left7604 but7535 the tribe7626 of Judah3063 only.905 19 Also1571 Judah3063 kept8104 not3808 853 the commandments4687 of the LORD3068 their God,430 but walked1980 in the statutes2708 of Israel3478 which834 they made.6213 20 And the LORD3068 rejected3988 all3605 the seed2233 of Israel,3478 and afflicted6031 them, and delivered5414 them into the hand3027 of spoilers,8154 until5704 834 he had cast them out7993 of his sight.4480 6440 21 For3588 he rent7167 Israel3478 from4480 5921 the house1004 of David;1732 and they made 853 Jeroboam3379 the son1121 of Nebat5028 king:4427 and Jeroboam3379 drove5080 853 Israel3478 from following4480 310 the LORD,3068 and made them sin2398 a great1419 sin.2401 22 For the children1121 of Israel3478 walked1980 in all3605 the sins2403 of Jeroboam3379 which834 he did;6213 they departed5493 not3808 from4480 them; 23 Until5704 834 the LORD3068 removed5493 853 Israel3478 out of4480 5921 his sight,6440 as834 he had said1696 by3027 all3605 his servants5650 the prophets.5030 So was Israel3478 carried away1540 out of4480 5921 their own land127 to Assyria804 unto5704 this2088 day.3117 24 And the king4428 of Assyria804 brought935 men from Babylon,4480 894 and from Cuthah,4480 3575 and from Ava,4480 5755 and from Hamath,4480 2574 and from Sepharvaim,5617 and placed3427 them in the cities5892 of Samaria8111 instead8478 of the children1121 of Israel:3478 and they possessed3423 853 Samaria,8111 and dwelt3427 in the cities5892 thereof. 25 And so it was1961 at the beginning8462 of their dwelling3427 there,8033 that they feared3372 not3808 853 the LORD:3068 therefore the LORD3068 sent7971 853 lions738 among them, which slew2026 some of them. 26 Wherefore they spoke559 to the king4428 of Assyria,804 saying,559 The nations1471 which834 thou hast removed,1540 and placed3427 in the cities5892 of Samaria,8111 know3045 not3808 853 the manner4941 of the God430 of the land:776 therefore he hath sent7971 853 lions738 among them, and, behold,2009 they slay4191 them, because834 they know3045 not369 853 the manner4941 of the God430 of the land.776 27 Then the king4428 of Assyria804 commanded,6680 saying,559 Carry1980 thither8033 one259 of the priests4480 3548 whom834 ye brought1540 from thence;4480 8033 and let them go1980 and dwell3427 there,8033 and let him teach3384 them 853 the manner4941 of the God430 of the land.776 28 Then one259 of the priests4480 3548 whom834 they had carried away1540 from Samaria4480 8111 came935 and dwelt3427 in Bethel,1008 and taught3384 them how349 they should fear3372 853 the LORD.3068 29 Howbeit every nation1471 1471 made6213 gods430 of their own, and put5117 them in the houses1004 of the high places1116 which834 the Samaritans8118 had made,6213 every nation1471 1471 in their cities5892 wherein834 8033 they1992 dwelt.3427 30 And the men376 of Babylon894 made6213 853 Succothbenoth,5524 and the men376 of Cuth3575 made6213 853 Nergal,5370 and the men376 of Hamath2574 made6213 853 Ashima,807 31 And the Avites5761 made6213 Nibhaz5026 and Tartak,8662 and the Sepharvites5617 burnt8313 853 their children1121 in fire784 to Adrammelech152 and Anammelech,6048 the gods430 of Sepharvaim.5617 32 So they feared1961 3372 853 the LORD,3068 and made6213 unto themselves of the lowest4480 7098 of them priests3548 of the high places,1116 which sacrificed6213 for them in the houses1004 of the high places.1116 33 They feared1961 3372 853 the LORD,3068 and served1961 5647 their own gods,430 after the manner4941 of the nations1471 whom834 853 they carried away1540 from thence.4480 8033 34 Unto5704 this2088 day3117 they1992 do6213 after the former7223 manners:4941 they fear3372 not369 853 the LORD,3068 neither369 do6213 they after their statutes,2708 or after their ordinances,4941 or after the law8451 and commandment4687 which834 the LORD3068 commanded6680 853 the children1121 of Jacob,3290 whom834 he named7760 8034 Israel;3478 35 With854 whom the LORD3068 had made3772 a covenant,1285 and charged6680 them, saying,559 Ye shall not3808 fear3372 other312 gods,430 nor3808 bow yourselves7812 to them, nor3808 serve5647 them, nor3808 sacrifice2076 to them: 36 But3588 518 853 the LORD,3068 who834 brought you up5927 853 out of the land4480 776 of Egypt4714 with great1419 power3581 and a stretched out5186 arm,2220 him shall ye fear,3372 and him shall ye worship,7812 and to him shall ye do sacrifice.2076 37 And the statutes,2706 and the ordinances,4941 and the law,8451 and the commandment,4687 which834 he wrote3789 for you, ye shall observe8104 to do6213 forevermore;3605 3117 and ye shall not3808 fear3372 other312 gods.430 38 And the covenant1285 that834 I have made3772 with854 you ye shall not3808 forget;7911 neither3808 shall ye fear3372 other312 gods.430 39 But3588 518 853 the LORD3068 your God430 ye shall fear;3372 and he1931 shall deliver5337 you out of the hand4480 3027 of all3605 your enemies.341 40 Howbeit they did not3808 hearken,8085 but3588 518 they1992 did6213 after their former7223 manner.4941 41 So these428 nations1471 feared1961 3372 853 the LORD,3068 and served5647 their graven images,6456 both1571 their children,1121 and their children's1121 children:1121 as834 did6213 their fathers,1 so do6213 they1992 unto5704 this2088 day.3117 |
1 ἐν ἔτει δωδεκάτῳ τῷ Αχαζ βασιλεῖ Ιουδα ἐβασίλευσεν Ωσηε υἱὸς Ηλα ἐν Σαμαρείᾳ ἐπὶ Ισραηλ ἐννέα ἔτη 2 καὶ ἐποίησεν τὸ πονηρὸν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς κυρίου πλὴν οὐχ ὡς οἱ βασιλεῖς Ισραηλ οἳ ἦσαν ἔμπροσθεν αὐτοῦ 3 ἐπ᾽ αὐτὸν ἀνέβη Σαλαμανασαρ βασιλεὺς Ἀσσυρίων καὶ ἐγενήθη αὐτῷ Ωσηε δοῦλος καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν αὐτῷ μαναα 4 καὶ εὗρεν βασιλεὺς Ἀσσυρίων ἐν τῷ Ωσηε ἀδικίαν ὅτι ἀπέστειλεν ἀγγέλους πρὸς Σηγωρ βασιλέα Αἰγύπτου καὶ οὐκ ἤνεγκεν μαναα τῷ βασιλεῖ Ἀσσυρίων ἐν τῷ ἐνιαυτῷ ἐκείνῳ καὶ ἐπολιόρκησεν αὐτὸν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἀσσυρίων καὶ ἔδησεν αὐτὸν ἐν οἴκῳ φυλακῆς 5 καὶ ἀνέβη ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἀσσυρίων ἐν πάσῃ τῇ γῇ καὶ ἀνέβη εἰς Σαμάρειαν καὶ ἐπολιόρκησεν ἐπ᾽ αὐτὴν τρία ἔτη 6 ἐν ἔτει ἐνάτῳ Ωσηε συνέλαβεν βασιλεὺς Ἀσσυρίων τὴν Σαμάρειαν καὶ ἀπῴκισεν τὸν Ισραηλ εἰς Ἀσσυρίους καὶ κατῴκισεν αὐτοὺς ἐν Αλαε καὶ ἐν Αβωρ ποταμοῖς Γωζαν καὶ Ορη Μήδων 7 καὶ ἐγένετο ὅτι ἥμαρτον οἱ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ τῷ κυρίῳ θεῷ αὐτῶν τῷ ἀναγαγόντι αὐτοὺς ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου ὑποκάτωθεν χειρὸς Φαραω βασιλέως Αἰγύπτου καὶ ἐφοβήθησαν θεοὺς ἑτέρους 8 καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν τοῖς δικαιώμασιν τῶν ἐθνῶν ὧν ἐξῆρεν κύριος ἀπὸ προσώπου υἱῶν Ισραηλ καὶ οἱ βασιλεῖς Ισραηλ ὅσοι ἐποίησαν 9 καὶ ὅσοι ἠμφιέσαντο οἱ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ λόγους οὐχ οὕτως κατὰ κυρίου θεοῦ αὐτῶν καὶ ᾠκοδόμησαν ἑαυτοῖς ὑψηλὰ ἐν πάσαις ταῖς πόλεσιν αὐτῶν ἀπὸ πύργου φυλασσόντων ἕως πόλεως ὀχυρᾶς 10 καὶ ἐστήλωσαν ἑαυτοῖς στήλας καὶ ἄλση ἐπὶ παντὶ βουνῷ ὑψηλῷ καὶ ὑποκάτω παντὸς ξύλου ἀλσώδους 11 καὶ ἐθυμίασαν ἐκεῖ ἐν πᾶσιν ὑψηλοῖς καθὼς τὰ ἔθνη ἃ ἀπῴκισεν κύριος ἐκ προσώπου αὐτῶν καὶ ἐποίησαν κοινωνοὺς καὶ ἐχάραξαν τοῦ παροργίσαι τὸν κύριον 12 καὶ ἐλάτρευσαν τοῖς εἰδώλοις οἷς εἶπεν κύριος αὐτοῖς οὐ ποιήσετε τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο κυρίῳ 13 καὶ διεμαρτύρατο κύριος ἐν τῷ Ισραηλ καὶ ἐν τῷ Ιουδα 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 14 καὶ οὐκ ἤκουσαν καὶ ἐσκλήρυναν τὸν νῶτον αὐτῶν ὑπὲρ τὸν νῶτον τῶν πατέρων αὐτῶν 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 16 ἐγκατέλιπον τὰς ἐντολὰς κυρίου θεοῦ αὐτῶν καὶ ἐποίησαν ἑαυτοῖς χώνευμα δύο δαμάλεις καὶ ἐποίησαν ἄλση καὶ προσεκύνησαν πάσῃ τῇ δυνάμει τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ ἐλάτρευσαν τῷ Βααλ 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 18 καὶ ἐθυμώθη κύριος σφόδρα ἐν τῷ Ισραηλ καὶ ἀπέστησεν αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ τοῦ προσώπου αὐτοῦ καὶ οὐχ ὑπελείφθη πλὴν φυλὴ Ιουδα μονωτάτη 19 καί γε Ιουδας οὐκ ἐφύλαξεν τὰς ἐντολὰς κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ αὐτῶν καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν ἐν τοῖς δικαιώμασιν Ισραηλ οἷς ἐποίησαν 20 καὶ ἀπεώσαντο τὸν κύριον ἐν παντὶ σπέρματι Ισραηλ καὶ ἐσάλευσεν αὐτοὺς καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτοὺς ἐν χειρὶ διαρπαζόντων αὐτούς ἕως οὗ ἀπέρριψεν αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτοῦ 21 ὅτι πλὴν Ισραηλ ἐπάνωθεν οἴκου Δαυιδ καὶ ἐβασίλευσαν τὸν Ιεροβοαμ υἱὸν Ναβατ καὶ ἐξέωσεν Ιεροβοαμ τὸν Ισραηλ ἐξόπισθεν κυρίου καὶ ἐξήμαρτεν αὐτοὺς ἁμαρτίαν μεγάλην 22 καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ ἐν πάσῃ ἁμαρτίᾳ Ιεροβοαμ ᾗ ἐποίησεν οὐκ ἀπέστησαν ἀπ᾽ αὐτῆς 23 ἕως οὗ μετέστησεν κύριος τὸν Ισραηλ ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτοῦ καθὼς ἐλάλησεν κύριος ἐν χειρὶ πάντων τῶν δούλων αὐτοῦ τῶν προφητῶν καὶ ἀπῳκίσθη Ισραηλ ἐπάνωθεν τῆς γῆς αὐτοῦ εἰς Ἀσσυρίους ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης 24 καὶ ἤγαγεν βασιλεὺς Ἀσσυρίων ἐκ Βαβυλῶνος τὸν ἐκ Χουνθα καὶ ἀπὸ Αια καὶ ἀπὸ Αιμαθ καὶ Σεπφαρουαιν καὶ κατῳκίσθησαν ἐν πόλεσιν Σαμαρείας ἀντὶ τῶν υἱῶν Ισραηλ καὶ ἐκληρονόμησαν τὴν Σαμάρειαν καὶ κατῴκησαν ἐν ταῖς πόλεσιν αὐτῆς 25 καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν ἀρχῇ τῆς καθέδρας αὐτῶν οὐκ ἐφοβήθησαν τὸν κύριον καὶ ἀπέστειλεν κύριος ἐν αὐτοῖς τοὺς λέοντας καὶ ἦσαν ἀποκτέννοντες ἐν αὐτοῖς 26 καὶ εἶπον τῷ βασιλεῖ Ἀσσυρίων λέγοντες τὰ ἔθνη ἃ 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 27 καὶ ἐνετείλατο ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἀσσυρίων λέγων ἀπάγετε ἐκεῖθεν καὶ πορευέσθωσαν καὶ κατοικείτωσαν ἐκεῖ καὶ φωτιοῦσιν αὐτοὺς τὸ κρίμα τοῦ θεοῦ τῆς γῆς 28 καὶ ἤγαγον ἕνα τῶν ἱερέων ὧν ἀπῴκισαν ἀπὸ Σαμαρείας καὶ ἐκάθισεν ἐν Βαιθηλ καὶ ἦν φωτίζων αὐτοὺς πῶς φοβηθῶσιν τὸν κύριον 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 30 καὶ οἱ ἄνδρες Βαβυλῶνος ἐποίησαν τὴν Σοκχωθβαινιθ καὶ οἱ ἄνδρες Χουθ ἐποίησαν τὴν Νηριγελ καὶ οἱ ἄνδρες Αιμαθ ἐποίησαν τὴν Ασιμαθ 31 καὶ οἱ Ευαῖοι ἐποίησαν τὴν Εβλαζερ καὶ τὴν Θαρθακ καὶ οἱ Σεπφαρουαιν κατέκαιον τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτῶν ἐν πυρὶ τῷ Αδραμελεχ καὶ Ανημελεχ θεοῖς Σεπφαρουαιν 32 καὶ ἦσαν φοβούμενοι τὸν κύριον καὶ κατῴκισαν τὰ βδελύγματα αὐτῶν ἐν τοῖς οἴκοις τῶν ὑψηλῶν ἃ ἐποίησαν ἐν Σαμαρείᾳ ἔθνος ἔθνος ἐν πόλει ἐν ᾗ κατῴκουν ἐν αὐτῇ καὶ ἦσαν φοβούμενοι τὸν κύριον καὶ ἐποίησαν ἑαυτοῖς ἱερεῖς τῶν ὑψηλῶν καὶ ἐποίησαν ἑαυτοῖς ἐν οἴκῳ τῶν ὑψηλῶν 33 τὸν κύριον ἐφοβοῦντο καὶ τοῖς θεοῖς αὐτῶν ἐλάτρευον κατὰ τὸ κρίμα τῶν ἐθνῶν ὅθεν ἀπῴκισεν αὐτοὺς ἐκεῖθεν 34 ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης αὐτοὶ ἐποίουν κατὰ τὸ κρίμα αὐτῶν αὐτοὶ φοβοῦνται καὶ αὐτοὶ ποιοῦσιν κατὰ τὰ δικαιώματα αὐτῶν καὶ κατὰ τὴν κρίσιν αὐτῶν καὶ κατὰ τὸν νόμον καὶ κατὰ τὴν ἐντολήν ἣν ἐνετείλατο κύριος τοῖς υἱοῖς Ιακωβ οὗ ἔθηκεν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ισραηλ 35 καὶ διέθετο κύριος μετ᾽ αὐτῶν διαθήκην καὶ ἐνετείλατο αὐτοῖς λέγων οὐ φοβηθήσεσθε θεοὺς ἑτέρους καὶ οὐ προσκυνήσετε αὐτοῖς καὶ οὐ λατρεύσετε αὐτοῖς καὶ οὐ θυσιάσετε αὐτοῖς 36 ὅτι ἀλλ᾽ ἢ τῷ κυρίῳ ὃς ἀνήγαγεν ὑμᾶς ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου ἐν ἰσχύι μεγάλῃ καὶ ἐν βραχίονι ὑψηλῷ αὐτὸν φοβηθήσεσθε καὶ αὐτῷ προσκυνήσετε καὶ αὐτῷ θύσετε 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 38 καὶ τὴν διαθήκην ἣν διέθετο μεθ᾽ ὑμῶν οὐκ ἐπιλήσεσθε καὶ οὐ φοβηθήσεσθε θεοὺς ἑτέρους 39 ὅτι ἀλλ᾽ ἢ τὸν κύριον θεὸν ὑμῶν φοβηθήσεσθε καὶ αὐτὸς ἐξελεῖται ὑμᾶς ἐκ πάντων τῶν ἐχθρῶν ὑμῶν 40 καὶ οὐκ ἀκούσεσθε ἐπὶ τῷ κρίματι αὐτῶν ὃ αὐτοὶ ποιοῦσιν 41 καὶ ἦσαν τὰ ἔθνη ταῦτα φοβούμενοι τὸν κύριον καὶ τοῖς γλυπτοῖς αὐτῶν ἦσαν δουλεύοντες καί γε οἱ υἱοὶ καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ τῶν υἱῶν αὐτῶν καθὰ ἐποίησαν οἱ πατέρες αὐτῶν ποιοῦσιν ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης |

1 Anno duodecimo Achaz regis Juda, regnavit Osee filius Ela in Samaria super Israël novem annis. 2 Fecitque malum coram Domino, sed non sicut reges Israël qui ante eum fuerant. 3 Contra hunc ascendit Salmanasar rex Assyriorum, et factus est ei Osee servus, reddebatque illi tributa. 4 Cumque deprehendisset rex Assyriorum Osee, quod rebellare nitens misisset nuntios ad Sua regem Ægypti ne præstaret tributa regi Assyriorum sicut singulis annis solitus erat, obsedit eum, et vinctum misit in carcerem. 5 Pervagatusque est omnem terram: et ascendens Samariam, obsedit eam tribus annis. 6 Anno autem nono Osee, cepit rex Assyriorum Samariam, et transtulit Israël in Assyrios: posuitque eos in Hala et in Habor juxta fluvium Gozan, in civitatibus Medorum. 7 Factum est enim, cum peccassent filii Israël Domino Deo suo, qui eduxerat eos de terra Ægypti, de manu Pharaonis regis Ægypti, coluerunt deos alienos. 8 Et ambulaverunt juxta ritum gentium quas consumpserat Dominus in conspectu filiorum Israël et regum Israël, quia similiter fecerant. 9 Et offenderunt filii Israël verbis non rectis Dominum Deum suum: et ædificaverunt sibi excelsa in cunctis urbibus suis, a turre custodum usque ad civitatem munitam. 10 Feceruntque sibi statuas et lucos in omni colle sublimi, et subter omne lignum nemorosum: 11 et adolebant ibi incensum super aras in morem gentium quas transtulerat Dominus a facie eorum: feceruntque verba pessima irritantes Dominum. 12 Et coluerunt immunditias de quibus præcepit eis Dominus ne facerent verbum hoc. 13 Et testificatus est Dominus in Israël et in Juda per manum omnium prophetarum et videntium, dicens: Revertimini a viis vestris pessimis, et custodite præcepta mea et cæremonias, juxta omnem legem quam præcepi patribus vestris, et sicut misi ad vos in manu servorum meorum prophetarum. 14 Qui non audierunt, sed induraverunt cervicem suam juxta cervicem patrum suorum, qui noluerunt obedire Domino Deo suo. 15 Et abjecerunt legitima ejus, et pactum quod pepigit cum patribus eorum, et testificationes quibus contestatus est eos: secutique sunt vanitates, et vane egerunt: et secuti sunt gentes quæ erant per circuitum eorum, super quibus præceperat Dominus eis ut non facerent sicut et illæ faciebant. 16 Et dereliquerunt omnia præcepta Domini Dei sui: feceruntque sibi conflatiles duos vitulos, et lucos, et adoraverunt universam militiam cæli: servieruntque Baal, 17 et consecraverunt filios suos et filias suas per ignem: et divinationibus inserviebant, et auguriis: et tradiderunt se ut facerent malum coram Domino, ut irritarent eum. 18 Iratusque est Dominus vehementer Israëli, et abstulit eos a conspectu suo, et non remansit nisi tribus Juda tantummodo. 19 Sed nec ipse Juda custodivit mandata Domini Dei sui: verum ambulavit in erroribus Israël, quos operatus fuerat. 20 Projecitque Dominus omne semen Israël, et afflixit eos, et tradidit eos in manu diripientium, donec projiceret eos a facie sua: 21 ex eo jam tempore quo scissus est Israël a domo David, et constituerunt sibi regem Jeroboam filium Nabat: separavit enim Jeroboam Israël a Domino, et peccare eos fecit peccatum magnum. 22 Et ambulaverunt filii Israël in universis peccatis Jeroboam quæ fecerat: et non recesserunt ab eis, 23 usquequo Dominus auferret Israël a facie sua, sicut locutus fuerat in manu omnium servorum suorum prophetarum: translatusque est Israël de terra sua in Assyrios, usque in diem hanc. 24 Adduxit autem rex Assyriorum de Babylone, et de Cutha, et de Avah, et de Emath, et de Sepharvaim: et collocavit eos in civitatibus Samariæ pro filiis Israël: qui possederunt Samariam, et habitaverunt in urbibus ejus. 25 Cumque ibi habitare cœpissent, non timebant Dominum: et immisit in eos Dominus leones, qui interficiebant eos. 26 Nuntiatumque est regi Assyriorum, et dictum: Gentes quas transtulisti, et habitare fecisti in civitatibus Samariæ, ignorant legitima Dei terræ: et immisit in eos Dominus leones, et ecce interficiunt eos, eo quod ignorent ritum Dei terræ. 27 Præcepit autem rex Assyriorum, dicens: Ducite illuc unum de sacerdotibus quos inde captivos adduxistis, et vadat, et habitet cum eis: et doceat eos legitima Dei terræ. 28 Igitur cum venisset unus de sacerdotibus his qui captivi ducti fuerant de Samaria, habitavit in Bethel, et docebat eos quomodo colerent Dominum. 29 Et unaquæque gens fabricata est deum suum: posueruntque eos in fanis excelsis quæ fecerant Samaritæ, gens et gens in urbibus suis, in quibus habitabat. 30 Viri enim Babylonii fecerunt Sochothbenoth: viri autem Cuthæi fecerunt Nergel: et viri de Emath fecerunt Asima. 31 Porro Hevæi fecerunt Nebahaz et Tharthac. Hi autem qui erant de Sepharvaim, comburebant filios suos igni, Adramelech et Anamelech diis Sepharvaim, 32 et nihilominus colebant Dominum. Fecerunt autem sibi de novissimis sacerdotes excelsorum, et ponebant eos in fanis sublimibus. 33 Et cum Dominum colerent, diis quoque suis serviebant juxta consuetudinem gentium, de quibus translati fuerant Samariam. 34 Usque in præsentem diem morem sequuntur antiquum: non timent Dominum, neque custodiunt cæremonias ejus, judicia, et legem, et mandatum, quod præceperat Dominus filiis Jacob, quem cognominavit Israël: 35 et percusserat cum eis pactum, et mandaverat eis, dicens: Nolite timere deos alienos, et non adoretis eos, neque colatis eos, et non immoletis eis: 36 sed Dominum Deum vestrum, qui eduxit vos de terra Ægypti in fortitudine magna et in brachio extento, ipsum timete, et illum adorate, et ipsi immolate. 37 Cæremonias quoque, et judicia, et legem, et mandatum, quod scripsit vobis, custodite ut faciatis cunctis diebus: et non timeatis deos alienos. 38 Et pactum quod percussit vobiscum, nolite oblivisci: nec colatis deos alienos, 39 sed Dominum Deum vestrum timete, et ipse eruet vos de manu omnium inimicorum vestrorum. 40 Illi vero non audierunt, sed juxta consuetudinem suam pristinam perpetrabant. 41 Fuerunt igitur gentes istæ timentes quidem Dominum, sed nihilominus et idolis suis servientes: nam et filii eorum, et nepotes, sicut fecerunt patres sui, ita faciunt usque in præsentem diem. |
