1 N o décimo segundo ano do reinado de Acaz, rei de Judá, Oséias, filho de Elá, tornou-se rei de Israel em Samaria, e reinou nove anos.

In the twelfth year of Ahaz king of Judah, Hoshea the son of Elah became king of Israel in Samaria, and he reigned nine years.

2 E le fez o que o Senhor reprova, mas não como os reis de Israel que o precederam.

And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, but not as the kings of Israel who were before him.

3 S almaneser, rei da Assíria, foi atacar Oséias, que fora seu vassalo e lhe pagara tributo.

Shalmaneser king of Assyria came up against him; and Hoshea became his vassal, and paid him tribute money.

4 M as o rei da Assíria descobriu que Oséias era um traidor, pois havia mandado emissários a Sô, rei do Egito, e já não pagava mais o tributo, como costumava fazer anualmente. Por isso, Salmaneser mandou lançá-lo na prisão.

And the king of Assyria uncovered a conspiracy by Hoshea; for he had sent messengers to So, king of Egypt, and brought 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. Israel Carried Captive to Assyria

5 O rei da Assíria invadiu todo o país, marchou contra Samaria e a sitiou por três anos.

Now the king of Assyria went throughout all the land, and went up to Samaria and besieged it for three years.

6 N o nono ano do reinado de Oséias, o rei assírio conquistou Samaria e deportou os israelitas para a Assíria. Ele os colocou em Hala, em Gozã do rio Habor e nas cidades dos medos. Israel é Castigado com o Exílio

In the ninth year of Hoshea, the king of Assyria took Samaria and carried Israel away to Assyria, and placed them in Halah and by the Habor, the River of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes.

7 T udo isso aconteceu porque os israelitas haviam pecado contra o Senhor, o seu Deus, que os tirara do Egito, de sob o poder do faraó, rei do Egito. Eles prestaram culto a outros deuses

For so it was that the children 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 they had feared other gods,

8 e seguiram os costumes das nações que o Senhor havia expulsado de diante deles, bem como os costumes que os reis de Israel haviam introduzido.

and had walked in the statutes of the nations whom the Lord had cast out from before the children of Israel, and of the kings of Israel, which they had made.

9 O s israelitas praticaram o mal secretamente contra o Senhor, o seu Deus. Em todas as suas cidades, desde as torres das sentinelas até as cidades fortificadas, eles construíram altares idólatras.

Also the children of Israel secretly did against the Lord their God things that were not right, and they built for themselves high places in all their cities, from watchtower to fortified city.

10 E rgueram colunas sagradas e postes sagrados em todo monte alto e debaixo de toda árvore frondosa.

They set up for themselves sacred pillars and wooden images on every high hill and under every green tree.

11 E m todos os altares idólatras queimavam incenso, como faziam as nações que o Senhor havia expulsado de diante deles. Fizeram males que provocaram o Senhor à ira.

There they burned incense on all the high places, like the nations whom the Lord had carried away before them; and they did wicked things to provoke the Lord to anger,

12 P restaram culto a ídolos, embora o Senhor houvesse dito: “Não façam isso”.

for they served idols, of which the Lord had said to them, “You shall not do this thing.”

13 O Senhor advertiu Israel e Judá por meio de todos os seus profetas e videntes: “Desviem-se de seus maus caminhos. Obedeçam às minhas ordenanças e aos meus decretos, de acordo com toda a Lei que ordenei aos seus antepassados que obedecessem e que lhes entreguei por meio de meus servos, os profetas”.

Yet the Lord testified against Israel and against Judah, by all of His prophets, every seer, saying, “Turn 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 M as eles não quiseram ouvir e foram obstinados como seus antepassados, que não confiaram no Senhor, o seu Deus.

Nevertheless they would not hear, but stiffened their necks, like the necks of their fathers, who did not believe in the Lord their God.

15 R ejeitaram os seus decretos, a aliança que ele tinha feito com os seus antepassados e as suas advertências. Seguiram ídolos inúteis, tornando-se eles mesmos inúteis. Imitaram as nações ao seu redor, embora o Senhor lhes tivesse ordenado: “Não as imitem”.

And they rejected His statutes and His covenant that He had made with their fathers, and His testimonies which He had testified against them; they followed idols, became idolaters, and went after the nations who were all around them, concerning whom the Lord had charged them that they should not do like them.

16 A bandonaram todos os mandamentos do Senhor, o seu Deus, e fizeram para si dois ídolos de metal na forma de bezerros e um poste sagrado de Aserá. Inclinaram-se diante de todos os exércitos celestiais e prestaram culto a Baal.

So they left all the commandments of the Lord their God, made for themselves a molded image and two calves, made a wooden image and worshiped all the host of heaven, and served Baal.

17 Q ueimaram seus filhos e filhas em sacrifício. Praticaram adivinhação e feitiçaria e venderam-se para fazer o que o Senhor reprova, provocando-o à ira.

And they caused their sons and daughters to pass through the fire, practiced witchcraft and soothsaying, and sold themselves to do evil in the sight of the Lord, to provoke Him to anger.

18 E ntão o Senhor indignou-se muito contra Israel e os expulsou da sua presença. Só a tribo de Judá escapou,

Therefore the Lord was very angry with Israel, and removed them from His sight; there was none left but the tribe of Judah alone.

19 m as nem ela obedeceu aos mandamentos do Senhor, o seu Deus. Seguiram os costumes que Israel havia introduzido.

Also Judah did not keep the commandments of the Lord their God, but walked in the statutes of Israel which they made.

20 P or isso o Senhor rejeitou todo o povo de Israel; ele o afligiu e o entregou nas mãos de saqueadores, até expulsá-lo da sua presença.

And the Lord rejected all the descendants of Israel, afflicted them, and delivered them into the hand of plunderers, until He had cast them from His sight.

21 Q uando o Senhor separou Israel da dinastia de Davi, os israelitas escolheram como rei Jeroboão, filho de Nebate, que induziu Israel a deixar de seguir o Senhor e o levou a cometer grande pecado.

For He tore Israel from the house of David, and they made Jeroboam the son of Nebat king. Then Jeroboam drove Israel from following the Lord, and made them commit a great sin.

22 O s israelitas permaneceram em todos os pecados de Jeroboão e não se desviaram deles,

For the children of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam which he did; they did not depart from them,

23 a té que o Senhor os afastou de sua presença, conforme os havia advertido por meio de todos os seus servos, os profetas. Assim, o povo de Israel foi tirado de sua terra e levado para o exílio na Assíria, onde ainda hoje permanecem. O Repovoamento de Samaria

until the Lord removed Israel out of His sight, as He had said by all His servants the prophets. So Israel was carried away from their own land to Assyria, as it is to this day. Assyria Resettles Samaria

24 O rei da Assíria trouxe gente da Babilônia, de Cuta, de Ava, de Hamate e de Sefarvaim e os estabeleceu nas cidades de Samaria para substituir os israelitas. Eles ocuparam Samaria e habitaram em suas cidades.

Then the king of Assyria brought people from Babylon, Cuthah, Ava, Hamath, and from Sepharvaim, and placed them in the cities of Samaria instead of the children of Israel; and they took possession of Samaria and dwelt in its cities.

25 Q uando começaram a viver ali, não adoravam o Senhor; por isso ele enviou leões para o meio deles, que mataram alguns dentre o povo.

And it was so, at the beginning of their dwelling there, that they did not fear the Lord; therefore the Lord sent lions among them, which killed some of them.

26 E ntão informaram o rei da Assíria: “Os povos que deportaste e fizeste morar nas cidades de Samaria não sabem o que o Deus daquela terra exige. Ele enviou leões para matá-los, pois desconhecem as suas exigências”.

So they spoke to the king of Assyria, saying, “The nations whom you have removed and placed in the cities of Samaria do not know the rituals of the God of the land; therefore He has sent lions among them, and indeed, they are killing them because they do not know the rituals of the God of the land.”

27 E ntão o rei da Assíria deu esta ordem: “Façam um dos sacerdotes de Samaria que vocês levaram prisioneiros retornar e viver ali para ensinar as exigências do deus da terra”.

Then the king of Assyria commanded, saying, “Send there one of the priests whom you brought from there; let him go and dwell there, and let him teach them the rituals of the God of the land.”

28 E ntão um dos sacerdotes exilados de Samaria veio morar em Betel e lhes ensinou a adorar o Senhor.

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.

29 N o entanto, cada grupo fez seus próprios deuses nas diversas cidades em que moravam e os puseram nos altares idólatras que o povo de Samaria havia feito.

However every nation continued to make gods of its own, and put them in the shrines on the high places which the Samaritans had made, every nation in the cities where they dwelt.

30 O s da Babilônia fizeram Sucote-Benote, os de Cuta fizeram Nergal e os de Hamate fizeram Asima;

The men of Babylon made Succoth Benoth, the men of Cuth made Nergal, the men of Hamath made Ashima,

31 o s aveus fizeram Nibaz e Tartaque; os sefarvitas queimavam seus filhos em sacrifício a Adrameleque e Anameleque, deuses de Sefarvaim.

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

32 E les adoravam o Senhor, mas também nomeavam qualquer pessoa para lhes servir como sacerdote nos altares idólatras.

So they feared the Lord, and from every class they appointed for themselves priests of the high places, who sacrificed for them in the shrines of the high places.

33 A doravam o Senhor, mas também prestavam culto aos seus próprios deuses, conforme os costumes das nações de onde haviam sido trazidos.

They feared the Lord, yet served their own gods—according to the rituals of the nations from among whom they were carried away.

34 A té hoje eles continuam em suas antigas práticas. Não adoram o Senhor nem se comprometem com os decretos, com as ordenanças, com as leis e com os mandamentos que o Senhor deu aos descendentes de Jacó, a quem deu o nome de Israel.

To this day they continue practicing the former rituals; they do not fear the Lord, nor do they follow their statutes or their ordinances, or the law and commandment which the Lord had commanded the children of Jacob, whom He named Israel,

35 Q uando o Senhor fez uma aliança com os israelitas, ele lhes ordenou: “Não adorem outros deuses, não se inclinem diante deles, não lhes prestem culto nem lhes ofereçam sacrifício.

with whom the Lord had made a covenant and charged them, saying: “You shall not fear other gods, nor bow down to them nor serve them nor sacrifice to them;

36 M as o Senhor, que os tirou do Egito com grande poder e com braço forte, é quem vocês adorarão. Diante dele vocês se inclinarão e lhe oferecerão sacrifícios.

but the Lord, who brought you up from the land of Egypt with great power and an outstretched arm, Him you shall fear, Him you shall worship, and to Him you shall offer sacrifice.

37 V ocês sempre tomarão o cuidado de obedecer aos decretos, às ordenanças, às leis e aos mandamentos que lhes prescreveu. Não adorem outros deuses.

And the statutes, the ordinances, the law, and the commandment which He wrote for you, you shall be careful to observe forever; you shall not fear other gods.

38 N ão esqueçam a aliança que fiz com vocês e não adorem outros deuses.

And the covenant that I have made with you, you shall not forget, nor shall you fear other gods.

39 A ntes, adorem o Senhor, o seu Deus; ele os livrará das mãos de todos os seus inimigos”.

But the Lord your God you shall fear; and He will deliver you from the hand of all your enemies.”

40 C ontudo, eles não lhe deram atenção, mas continuaram em suas antigas práticas.

However they did not obey, but they followed their former rituals.

41 M esmo quando esses povos adoravam o Senhor, também prestavam culto aos seus ídolos. Até hoje seus filhos e seus netos continuam a fazer o que os seus antepassados faziam.

So these nations feared the Lord, yet served their carved images; also their children and their children’s children have continued doing as their fathers did, even to this day.
