2 Kings 17

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition	NOVA VULGATA
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 Anno duodecimo Achaz regis Iudae regnavit Osee filius Ela in Samaria super Israel novem annis.
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 Fecitque malum coram Domino, sed non sicut reges Israel, qui ante eum fuerant.
3 Against him came up Shalmaneser king of Assyria; and Hoshea became his vassal, and paid him tribute.	3 Contra hunc ascendit Salmanasar rex Assyriorum; et factus est ei Osee servus reddebatque illi tributa.
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 Cumque deprehendisset rex Assyriorum Osee quod rebellare nitens misisset nuntios ad Sua regem Aegypti nec praestaret tributa regi Assyriorum, sicut singulis annis solitus erat, apprehendit eum et vinctum misit in carcerem.
5 Then the king of Assyria invaded all the land and came to Samaria, and for three years he besieged it.	5 Pervagatusque est omnem terram et ascendens Samariam obsedit eam tribus annis.
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 Anno autem nono Osee cepit rex Assyriorum Samariam et transtulit Israel in Assur posuitque eos in Hala et iuxta Habor fluvium Gozan et in civitatibus Medorum.
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 Factum est enim hoc, cum peccassent filii Israel Domino Deo suo, qui eduxerat eos de terra Aegypti, de manu pharaonis regis Aegypti: coluerunt deos alienos.
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 Et ambulaverunt iuxta ritus gentium, quas consumpserat Dominus in conspectu filiorum Israel et regum Israel, qui similiter fecerant.
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 Et offenderunt filii Israel operibus non rectis Dominum Deum suum et aedificaverunt sibi excelsa in cunctis urbibus suis a turre custodum usque ad civitatem munitam.
10 they set up for themselves pillars and Asherim on every high hill and under every green tree;	10 Feceruntque sibi lapides et palos in omni colle sublimi et subter omne lignum nemorosum
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 et adolebant ibi in omnibus excelsis sicut gentes, quas transtulerat Dominus a facie eorum; feceruntque pessima irritantes Dominum
12 and they served idols, of which the LORD had said to them, "You shall not do this."	12 et coluerunt idola immunda, de quibus praecepit Dominus eis, ne facerent hoc.
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 Et testificatus est Dominus in Israel et in Iuda per manum omnium prophetarum et videntium dicens: “ Revertimini a viis vestris pessimis et custodite mandata mea et praecepta iuxta omnem legem, quam praecepi patribus vestris, et sicut misi ad vos in manu servorum meorum prophetarum ”.
14 But they would not listen, but were stubborn, as their fathers had been, who did not believe in the LORD their God.	14 Qui non audierunt, sed induraverunt cervicem suam iuxta cervicem patrum suorum, qui noluerunt credere in Dominum Deum suum.
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 Et abiecerunt legitima eius et pactum, quod pepigit cum patribus eorum, et testificationes, quibus contestatus est eos; secutique sunt vanitates et vani facti sunt et secuti sunt gentes, quae erant per circuitum eorum, super quibus praeceperat Dominus eis ut non facerent, sicut et illae faciebant.
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 Et dereliquerunt omnia praecepta Domini Dei sui feceruntque sibi conflatiles duos vitulos et palum et adoraverunt universam militiam caeli servieruntque Baal
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 et consecrabant filios suos et filias suas per ignem; et divinationibus inserviebant et auguriis et tradiderunt se, ut facerent malum coram Domino et irritarent eum.
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 Iratusque est Dominus vehementer Israel et abstulit eos de conspectu suo, et non remansit nisi tribus Iudae tantummodo.
19 Judah also did not keep the commandments of the LORD their God, but walked in the customs which Israel had introduced.	19 Sed nec ipse Iuda custodivit mandata Domini Dei sui; verum ambulavit in erroribus Israel, quos operatus fuerat.
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 Proiecitque Dominus omne semen Israel et afflixit eos et tradidit in manu diripientium, donec proiceret eos a facie sua,
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 ex eo iam tempore, quo scissus est Israel a domo David, et constituerunt sibi regem Ieroboam filium Nabat; separavit enim Ieroboam Israel a Domino et peccare eos fecit peccatum magnum.
22 The people of Israel walked in all the sins which Jeroboam did; they did not depart from them,	22 Et ambulaverunt filii Israel in universis peccatis Ieroboam, quae fecerat; non recesserunt ab eis,
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 usquequo auferret Dominus Israel a facie sua, sicut locutus fuerat in manu omnium servorum suorum prophetarum. Translatusque est Israel de terra sua in Assur usque in diem hanc.
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 Adduxit autem rex Assyriorum de Babylone et de Chutha et de Ava et de Emath et de Sepharvaim et collocavit eos in civitatibus Samariae pro filiis Israel, qui possederunt Samariam et habitaverunt in urbibus eius.
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 Cumque ibi habitare coepissent, non timebant Dominum. Et immisit eis Dominus leones, qui interficiebant inter eos.
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 Nuntiatumque est regi Assyriorum et dictum: “ Gentes, quas transtulisti et habitare fecisti in civitatibus Samariae, ignorant legitima Dei terrae; et immisit eis leones, et ecce interficiunt eos, eo quod ignorent ritum Dei terrae ”.
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 Praecepit autem rex Assyriorum dicens: “ Ducite illuc unum de sacerdotibus, quos inde captivos adduxistis, et vadat et habitet cum eis et doceat eos legitima Dei terrae ”.
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 Igitur cum venisset unus de sacerdotibus his, qui captivi ducti fuerant de Samaria, habitavit in Bethel et docebat eos quomodo colerent Dominum.
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 Et unaquaeque gens fabricata est deum suum; posueruntque eos in fanis excelsis, quae fecerant Samaritae, gens et gens in urbibus suis, in quibus habitabant.
30 the men of Babylon made Succoth-benoth, the men of Cuth made Nergal, the men of Hamath made Ashima,	30 Viri enim Babylonii fecerunt Socchothbenoth, viri autem Chutheni fecerunt Nergel, et viri de Emath fecerunt Asima;
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 porro Hevaei fecerunt Nebahaz et Tharthac, hi autem, qui erant de Sepharvaim, comburebant filios suos igne Adramelech et Anamelech diis Sepharvaim.
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 Et nihilominus colebant Dominum. Fecerunt autem sibi de medio ipsorum sacerdotes excelsorum et ponebant eos in fanis excelsorum;
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 et, cum Dominum colerent, diis quoque suis serviebant iuxta consuetudinem gentium, de quibus translati fuerant Samariam.
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 Usque in praesentem diem morem sequuntur antiquum: non timent Dominum neque custodiunt instituta et iudicium ipsorum et legem et mandatum, quod praeceperat Dominus filiis Iacob, quem cognominavit Israel,
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 et percusserat cum eis pactum et mandaverat eis dicens: “ Nolite timere deos alienos et non adoretis eos neque colatis et non immoletis eis,
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 sed Dominum, qui eduxit vos de terra Aegypti in fortitudine magna et in brachio extento, ipsum timete, illum adorate et ipsi immolate.
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 Instituta quoque et iudicia et legem et mandatum, quod scripsit vobis, custodite, ut faciatis cunctis diebus; et non timeatis deos alienos.
38 and you shall not forget the covenant that I have made with you. You shall not fear other gods,	38 Et pactum, quod percussi vobiscum, nolite oblivisci nec timeatis deos alienos,
39 but you shall fear the LORD your God, and he will deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies."	39 sed Dominum Deum vestrum timete, et ipse eruet vos de manu omnium inimicorum vestrorum ”.
40 However they would not listen, but they did according to their former manner.	40 Illi vero non audierunt, sed iuxta consuetudinem suam pristinam perpetrabant.
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 Fuerunt igitur gentes istae timentes quidem Dominum, sed nihilominus et idolis suis servientes; nam et filii eorum et nepotes, sicut fecerunt parentes sui, ita faciunt usque in praesentem diem.
