2 Kings 17

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition	Biblija Hrvatski
1 In the twelfth year of Ahaz king of Judah Hoshea the son of Elah began to reign in Samaria over Israel, and he reigned nine years.	1 Dvanaeste godine kraljevanja Ahaza u Judeji, postao je Hošea, sin Elin, izraelskim kraljem u Samariji. Kraljevao je devet godina.
2 And he did what was evil in the sight of the LORD, yet not as the kings of Israel who were before him.	2 On je činio što je zlo u očima Jahvinim, ali ne kao izraelski kraljevi, njegovi prethodnici.
3 Against him came up Shalmaneser king of Assyria; and Hoshea became his vassal, and paid him tribute.	3 Asirski kralj Salmanasar pošao je protiv Hošee, koji mu se pokorio i plaćao mu danak.
4 But the king of Assyria found treachery in Hoshea; for he had sent messengers to So, king of Egypt, and offered no tribute 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.	4 Ali je asirski kralj otkrio da mu Hošea sprema zavjeru: još je Hošea poslao poslanike egipatskom kralju Sou i nije platio danaka asirskom kralju kao svake godine. Tada ga asirski kralj baci u tamnicu.
5 Then the king of Assyria invaded all the land and came to Samaria, and for three years he besieged it.	5 Asirski kralj osvoji svu zemlju i krenu opsjedati Samariju. Opsjedao ju je tri godine.
6 In the ninth year of Hoshea the king of Assyria captured Samaria, and he carried the Israelites away to Assyria, and placed them in Halah, and on the Habor, the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes.	6 Devete godine Hošeine vladavine zauze asirski kralj Samariju i odvede Izraelce u sužanjstvo u Asiriju. Naselio ih je u Helahu, i na Haboru, rijeci u Gozanu, i u gradovima medijskim.
7 And this was so, because the people of Israel had sinned against the LORD their God, who had brought them up out of the land of Egypt from under the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and had feared other gods	7 I tako se dogodilo zato što su Izraelci sagriješili protiv Jahve, Boga svoga, koji ih je izveo iz zemlje egipatske, ispod vlasti faraona, kralja egipatskog. Štovali su druge bogove,
8 and walked in the customs of the nations whom the LORD drove out before the people of Israel, and in the customs which the kings of Israel had introduced.	8 slijedili običaje naroda što ih je Jahve protjerao pred sinovima Izraelovim, živjeli po običajima što su ih uveli kraljevi Izraelovi.
9 And the people of Israel did secretly against the LORD their God things that were not right. They built for themselves high places at all their towns, from watchtower to fortified city;	9 Izraelci i njihovi kraljevi potajno su činili neprikladna djela protiv Jahve, Boga svoga. Podigli su uzvišice u svim svojim naseljima: od stražarskih kula pa do utvrđenih gradova.
10 they set up for themselves pillars and Asherim on every high hill and under every green tree;	10 Podizali su stupove i ašere na svakom humku i pod svakim zelenim drvetom.
11 and there they burned incense on all the high places, as the nations did whom the LORD carried away before them. And they did wicked things, provoking the LORD to anger,	11 Ondje su, na svim uzvišicama, palili kâd po običaju naroda što ih je Jahve protjerao ispred njih i činili su zla djela te izazivali gnjev Jahvin.
12 and they served idols, of which the LORD had said to them, "You shall not do this."	12 Služili su idolima, premda im Jahve bijaše rekao: »Ne činite toga!«
13 Yet the LORD warned Israel and Judah by every prophet and every seer, saying, "Turn from your evil ways and keep my commandments and my statutes, in accordance with all the law which I commanded your fathers, and which I sent to you by my servants the prophets."	13 A Jahve opominjaše Izraelce i Judejce preko svih svojih proroka i sviju vidjelaca: »Obratite se od zlog puta svoga«, govorio je, »i pokoravajte se naredbama i zapovijedima mojim prema Zakonu koji sam naložio ocima vašim i prema svemu što sam vam objavio preko slugu svojih – proroka.«
14 But they would not listen, but were stubborn, as their fathers had been, who did not believe in the LORD their God.	14 Ali oni nisu poslušali, nego su ostali tvrdovrati kao i njihovi oci, koji nisu vjerovali u Jahvu, Boga svoga.
15 They despised his statutes, and his covenant that he made with their fathers, and the warnings which he gave them. They went after false idols, and became false, and they followed the nations that were round about them, concerning whom the LORD had commanded them that they should not do like them.	15 Prezreli su njegove zakone i savez koji je sklopio s njihovim ocima i opomene njegove koje im je upućivao. Težili su za ispraznošću, pa su i sami postali isprazni slijedeći narode oko sebe, premda im je Jahve zapovjedio da ne čine kao oni.
16 And they forsook all the commandments of the LORD their God, and made for themselves molten images of two calves; and they made an Asherah, and worshiped all the host of heaven, and served Baal.	16 Odbacili su sve zapovijedi Jahve, Boga svoga, i načinili su sebi salivene idole, dva teleta. Podigli su ašere, klanjali se svoj vojsci nebeskoj i služili Baalu.
17 And they burned their sons and their daughters as offerings, and used divination and sorcery, and sold themselves to do evil in the sight of the LORD, provoking him to anger.	17 Provodili su svoje sinove i kćeri kroz oganj, odavali se vračanju i gatanju, čineći tako zlo u očima Jahvinim i razjarujući ga.
18 Therefore the LORD was very angry with Israel, and removed them out of his sight; none was left but the tribe of Judah only.	18 Tada se Jahve razgnjevi na Izraela i odbaci ga ispred svoga lica. Ostalo je samo pleme Judino.
19 Judah also did not keep the commandments of the LORD their God, but walked in the customs which Israel had introduced.	19 Ali ni pleme Judino nije držalo zapovijedi Jahve, Boga svoga, i slijedilo je običaje kojih su se držali Izraelci.
20 And the LORD rejected all the descendants of Israel, and afflicted them, and gave them into the hand of spoilers, until he had cast them out of his sight.	20 I Jahve odbaci sav rod Izraela, ponizi ga i predade ga pljačkašima, dok ih konačno ne odbaci daleko od svoga lica.
21 When he had torn Israel from the house of David they made Jeroboam the son of Nebat king. And Jeroboam drove Israel from following the LORD and made them commit great sin.	21 On je, konačno, otrgnuo Izraelce od kuće Davidove, a Izrael je proglasio kraljem Jeroboama, sina Nebatova. Jeroboam je odvratio Izraela od Jahve i naveo ih na veliku grehotu.
22 The people of Israel walked in all the sins which Jeroboam did; they did not depart from them,	22 Izraelci su slijedili svaki grijeh koji je Jeroboam počinio i od njega se nisu odvraćali,
23 until the LORD removed Israel out of his sight, as he had spoken by all his servants the prophets. So Israel was exiled from their own land to Assyria until this day.	23 dok konačno Jahve nije odbacio Izraela ispred svoga lica, kako to bijaše objavio po svojim slugama, prorocima. Odveo je Izraelce iz njihove zemlje u sužanjstvo u Asiriju, gdje su do današnjega dana.
24 And the king of Assyria brought people from Babylon, Cuthah, Avva, Hamath, and Sephar-vaim, and placed them in the cities of Samaria instead of the people of Israel; and they took possession of Samaria, and dwelt in its cities.	24 Asirski je kralj doveo ljude iz Babilona, iz Kute, iz Ave, Hamata i iz Sefarvajima, i naselio ih u gradovima Samarije mjesto Izraelaca. Oni su zaposjeli Samariju i nastanili se u gradovima njezinim.
25 And at the beginning of their dwelling there, they did not fear the LORD; therefore the LORD sent lions among them, which killed some of them.	25 U vrijeme naseljavanja u zemlju nisu štovali Jahve i on je poslao protiv njih lavove da ih rastrgaju.
26 So the king of Assyria was told, "The nations which you have carried away and placed in the cities of Samaria do not know the law of the god of the land; therefore he has sent lions among them, and behold, they are killing them, because they do not know the law of the god of the land."	26 Zato su rekli asirskom kralju: »Narodi koje si preselio da ih nastaniš u gradovima Samarije ne znaju kako valja štovati Boga ove zemlje i on je na njih poslao lavove, koji ih usmrćuju, jer ti narodi ne poznaju bogoštovlja ove zemlje.«
27 Then the king of Assyria commanded, "Send there one of the priests whom you carried away thence; and let him go and dwell there, and teach them the law of the god of the land."	27 Tada je asirski kralj izdao ovu zapovijed: »Neka ide onamo jedan od svećenika koje sam odande doveo u sužanjstvo; neka ide, neka se ondje nastani i pouči ih u štovanju Boga one zemlje.«
28 So 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.	28 Tako ode jedan od svećenika koji su bili odvedeni iz Samarije i nastani se u Betelu. On ih je poučio kako treba štovati Jahvu.
29 But every nation still made gods of its own, and put them in the shrines of the high places which the Samaritans had made, every nation in the cities in which they dwelt;	29 Svaki je narod imao likove svojih bogova i postavili su ih u hramove na uzvišicama koje su podigli Samarijanci, svaki narod u svojim gradovima u kojima življaše.
30 the men of Babylon made Succoth-benoth, the men of Cuth made Nergal, the men of Hamath made Ashima,	30 Babilonci načiniše Sukot Benota, Kušani Nergala, Hamaćani Ašimu;
31 and the Avvites made Nibhaz and Tartak; and the Sepharvites burned their children in the fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech, the gods of Sephar-vaim.	31 Avijci načiniše Nibhaza i Tartaka, a Sefarvajimci spaljivahu svoju djecu na ognju u čast Adrameleka i Anameleka, sefarvajimskih bogova.
32 They also feared the LORD, and appointed from among themselves all sorts of people as priests of the high places, who sacrificed for them in the shrines of the high places.	32 Oni su štovali i Jahvu i postavili su neke između sebe za svećenike uzvišica koji su im prinosili žrtve u hramovima uzvišica.
33 So they feared the LORD but also served their own gods, after the manner of the nations from among whom they had been carried away.	33 Štovali su Jahvu i služili su svojim bogovima po običaju onih naroda između kojih su ih preselili.
34 To this day they do according to the former manner. They do not fear the LORD, and they do not follow the statutes or the ordinances or the law or the commandment which the LORD commanded the children of Jacob, whom he named Israel.	34 Oni se još i danas drže starih običaja. Ne štuju Jahve i ne usklađuju svojih pravila i običaja sa Zakonom i zapovijedima što ih je Jahve naredio djeci Jakova, komu je nadjenuo ime Izrael.
35 The LORD made a covenant with them, and commanded them, "You shall not fear other gods or bow yourselves to them or serve them or sacrifice to them;	35 Jahve bijaše s njima sklopio Savez i zapovjedio im: »Ne štujte tuđih bogova niti im se klanjajte. Nemojte ih štovati niti im žrtava prinositi.
36 but you shall fear the LORD, who brought you out of the land of Egypt with great power and with an outstretched arm; you shall bow yourselves to him, and to him you shall sacrifice.	36 Samo je Jahve onaj koji vas je velikom snagom svoje ispružene ruke izveo iz zemlje egipatske; njega štujte, njemu se klanjajte i njemu žrtve prinosite.
37 And the statutes and the ordinances and the law and the commandment which he wrote for you, you shall always be careful to do. You shall not fear other gods,	37 Držite se pravilâ i običaja, Zakona i naredaba koje vam je propisao da ih vjerno ispunjavate uvijek i ne štujte tuđih bogova.
38 and you shall not forget the covenant that I have made with you. You shall not fear other gods,	38 Nemojte zaboraviti Saveza koji sam sklopio s vama i nemojte štovati drugih bogova,
39 but you shall fear the LORD your God, and he will deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies."	39 samo Jahvu, Boga svoga, poštujte i on će vas izbaviti iz ruke svih vaših neprijatelja.«
40 However they would not listen, but they did according to their former manner.	40 Ali oni nisu poslušali, nego su se i dalje držali svoga starog običaja.
41 So these nations feared the LORD, and also served their graven images; their children likewise, and their children's children--as their fathers did, so they do to this day.	41 Tako su ti narodi štovali Jahvu, a služili su i svojim idolima. Njihovi sinovi i sinovi njihovih sinova čine do dana današnjega onako kako su činili njihovi oci.
