17 — 4 Kings (2 Kings)

1In the twelfth year of Achaz king of Juda, Osee the son of Ela reigned in Samaria, over Israel, nine years.L'anno duodecimo di Achaz re di Giuda, Osea figliuolo di Eia regnò sopra Israele in Samaria per nove anni.IN the twelfth yeare of Achaz king of Iuda, reigned Osee the sonne of Ela in Samaria ouer Israel nine yeares.Anno duodecimo Achaz regis Juda, regnavit Osee filius Ela in Samaria super Israël novem annis. 2And he did evil before the Lord: but not as the kings of Israel that had been before him.Ed ei fece il male nel cospetto del Signore, ma non come i re d'Israele suoi predecessori.And he did euil before our Lord: but not as the kinges of Israel, that had bene before him.Fecitque malum coram Domino, sed non sicut reges Israël qui ante eum fuerant. 3Against him came up Salmanasar, king of the Assyrians; and Osee became his servant, and paid him tribute.Contro di lui si mosse Salmanasarre degli Assiri, e Osea divenne suo vassallo, e gli pagava tributo.Against him came vp Salmanasar king of the Assyrians, and Osee was made seruant to him, and payd him tributes.Contra hunc ascendit Salmanasar rex Assyriorum, et factus est ei Osee servus, reddebatque illi tributa. 4And when the king of the Assyrians found that Osee, endeavouring to rebel, had sent messengers to Sua, the king of Egypt, that he might not pay tribute to the king of the Assyrians, as he had done every year, he besieged him, bound him, and cast him into prison.Ma avendo scoperto il re degli Assiri, come Osea tentando di ribellarsi avea mandati ambasciadori a Sua re dell'Egitto, per non pagare al re degli Assiri il tributo, che soleva dargli ogni anno, andò ad assediarlo, e presolo lo messe in prigione.And when the king of the Assyrians had found, that Osee endeuoring to rebel had sent messengers to Sua the king of Aegypt, that he might not pay tributes to the king of the Assyrians, as euery yeare he was accustomed, he besieged him, and cast him blound into prison.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. 5And he went through all the land: and going up to Samaria, he besieged it three years.Egli fece scorrerie per tutto il paese, e accostatosi a Samaria, la assedio per tre anni.And he ranged through al the land: and going vp to Samaria, he besieged it three yeares.Pervagatusque est omnem terram: et ascendens Samariam, obsedit eam tribus annis. 6And in the ninth year of Osee, the king of the Assyrians took Samaria, and carried Israel away to Assyria: and he placed them in Hala, and Habor, by the river of Gozan, in the cities of the Medes.E l'anno nono di Osea, il re degli Assiri prese Samaria, e trasportò gl'Israeliti nell'Assiria, e li collocò in Hala, e in Habor, città dei Medi presso al fiume Gozan.And in the ninth yeare of Osee, the king of Assyrians tooke Samaria, and transferred Israel vnto the Assyrians: and he put them in Hala, and in Habor beside the riuer of Gozan, in the cities of the Medes.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.

7For so it was that the children of Israel had sinned against the Lord, their God, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, from under the hand of Pharao, king of Egypt; and they worshipped strange gods.Imperocché i figliuoli d'Israele avean peccato contro il Signore Dio loro, il quale gli avea tratti dalla terra d'Egitto, dalle mani di Faraone re dell'Egitto, e aveano adorati gli dei stranieri.For it came to passe, when the children of Israel had sinned to our Lord their God, which brought them out of the land of Aegypt, and out of the hand of Pharao the king of Aegypt, they worshipped strange goddes.Factum est enim, cum peccassent filii Israël Domino Deo suo, qui eduxerat eos de terra Ægypti, de manu Pharaonis regis Ægypti, coluerunt deos alienos. 8And they walked according to the way of the nations which the Lord had destroyed in the sight of the children of Israel, and of the kings of Israel: because they had done in like manner.E aveano imitati i costumi delle genti distrutte dal Signore all'arrivo de' figliuoli d'Israele, e (i costumi) dei re d'Israele, che avean fatte le stesse cose.And they walked according to the rite of the Gentiles, which our Lord had consumed in the sight of the children of Israel, and of the kings of Israel: because they had done in like maner.Et ambulaverunt juxta ritum gentium quas consumpserat Dominus in conspectu filiorum Israël et regum Israël, quia similiter fecerant. 9And the children of Israel offended the Lord, their God, with things that were not right: and built them high places in all their cities, from the tower of the watchmen to the fenced city.E i figliuoli d'Israele avean disgustato il Signore Dio loro con azioni non rette: e si erano eretti de' luoghi eccelsi in tutte le loro città, dalle torri delle sentinelle fino alle città fortificate.And the children of Israel offended our Lord their God with wordes not right: & built them excelses in al their cities from the Towre of watchmen vnto the fensed citie.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. 10And they made them statues and groves on every high hill, and under every shady tree:E si erano fatti de' boschetti, e si erano erette statue in ogni colle elevato, e sotto ogni pianta ombrosa.And they made them statues & groues on euerie high hil, and vnder euerie thicke woddie tree:Feceruntque sibi statuas et lucos in omni colle sublimi, et subter omne lignum nemorosum:

11And they burnt incense there upon altars, after the manner of the nations which the Lord had removed from their face: and they did wicked things, provoking the Lord.Ed ivi bruciavano incensi sopra gli altari ad imitazione delle genti, le quali il Signore avea disperse alla loro venuta: e fecero cose iniquissime, provocando ad ira il Signore:and burnt there incense vpon the altars after the maner of the Gentiles, which our Lord remoued from their face: and they did wicked things, prouoking our Lord.et adolebant ibi incensum super aras in morem gentium quas transtulerat Dominus a facie eorum: feceruntque verba pessima irritantes Dominum. 12And they worshipped abominations, concerning which the Lord had commanded them that they should not do this thing.E adorarono le immondezze contro il divieto fatto loro dal Signore.And they worshipped the filthes, wherof our Lord commanded them that thou should not doe this thing.Et coluerunt immunditias de quibus præcepit eis Dominus ne facerent verbum hoc. 13And the Lord testified to them in Israel, and in Juda, by the hand of all the prophets and seers, saying: Return from your wicked ways, and keep my precepts, and ceremonies, according to all the law which I commanded your fathers: and as I have sent to you in the hand of my servants the prophets.E il Signore avea fatte le sue proteste ad Israele, e a Giuda per mezzo di tutti i profeti, e de' Veggenti, dicendo: Convertitevi dai pessimi vostri andamenti, e osservate i miei precetti, e le cerimonie a norma di tutte le leggi intimate da me a' padri vostri, e come ho mandato a dirvi pe' miei servi i profeti.And our Lord testified in Israel and in Iuda by the hand of al the Prophetes and Seers, saying: Returne from your most wicked wayes, and keepe my precepts, and ceremonies according to al the law, which I commanded your fathers: and as I haue sent to you in the hand of my seruantes the Prophetes.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. 14And they hearkened not, but hardened their necks like to the neck of their fathers, who would not obey the Lord, their God.Eglino però non ascoltarono, ma indurarono la loro cervice imitando la durezza de' padri loro, i quali ubbidir non vollero al Signore loro Dio.Who heard not, but hardened their necke according to the necke of their fathers, who would not obey our Lord their God.Qui non audierunt, sed induraverunt cervicem suam juxta cervicem patrum suorum, qui noluerunt obedire Domino Deo suo.

15And they rejected his ordinances, and the covenant that he made with their fathers, and the testimonies which he testified against them: and they followed vanities, and acted vainly: and they followed the nations that were round about them, concerning which the Lord had commanded them that they should not do as they did.E rigettarono le sue leggi, e il patto fermato da lui co' padri loro, e gli avvertimenti fatti ad essi da lui, e andaron dietro alle vanità, e infatuirono, e imitarono le nazioni circonvicine, intorno alle quali il Signore avea loro ordinato di non fare quel che esse facevano.And they cast away his ordinances, and the couenant that he made with their fathers, and the testifications, wherwith he contested them: and they folowed vanities, and did vaynly: and they folowed the Gentiles, that were round about them, concerning which our Lord had commanded them, that they should not doe as they did.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. 16And they forsook all the precepts of the Lord, their God: and made to themselves two molten calves, and groves, and adored all the host of heaven: and they served Baal,E posero in non cale tutti i comandi del Signore Dio loro: e si fecero due vitelli di getto, e de' boschetti, e adorarono tutta la milizia del cielo, e rendettero onore a Baal,And they forsooke al the preceptes of our Lord their God: and made to them selues two molten calues, and groues, and adored al the hoste of heauen: and they serued Baal,Et dereliquerunt omnia præcepta Domini Dei sui: feceruntque sibi conflatiles duos vitulos, et lucos, et adoraverunt universam militiam cæli: servieruntque Baal, 17And consecrated their sons, and their daughters, through fire: and they gave themselves to divinations, and soothsayings: and they delivered themselves up to do evil before the Lord, to provoke him.E consagrarono i lor figliuoli, e le figlie per mezzo del fuoco; e si applicarono agl'indozzamenti, ed agli auguri: e si vendettero per fare ogni male dinanzi al Signore, provocandolo a sdegno.and consecrated their sonnes, and their daughters through fyre: and they gaue themselues to deuinations, and soothsayings: and they deliuered vp themselues to doe euil before our Lord, that they might prouoke him.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. 18And the Lord was very angry with Israel, and removed them from his sight, and there remained only the tribe of Juda.E il Signore si adirò altamente contro Israele, e se lo tolse davanti, e non rimase se non la sola tribù di Giuda.And our Lord was wrath with Israel vehemently, and tooke them away from his sight, and there remayned but the tribe of Iuda onlie.Iratusque est Dominus vehementer Israëli, et abstulit eos a conspectu suo, et non remansit nisi tribus Juda tantummodo.

19But neither did Juda itself keep the commandments of the Lord, their God: but they walked in the errors of Israel, which they had wrought.Ma nemmeno lo stesso Giuda osservò i comandamenti del Signore Dio suo, ma imitò i traviamenti, ne' quali incorse Israele.But neither Iuda it self kept the commandementes of our Lord their God: but walked in the errours of Israel, which it had wrought.Sed nec ipse Juda custodivit mandata Domini Dei sui: verum ambulavit in erroribus Israël, quos operatus fuerat. 20And the Lord cast off all the seed of Israel, and afflicted them, and delivered them into the hand of spoilers, till he cast them away from his face:E Dio rigettò tutta la stirpe d'Israele, e li punì, e dielli in potere de' loro oppressori, sino a tanto che gli ebbe rigettati dal suo cospetto;And our Lord reiected al the seede of Israel, and afflicted them, & deliuered them into the hand of the spoylers, til he threwe them away from his face:Projecitque Dominus omne semen Israël, et afflixit eos, et tradidit eos in manu diripientium, donec projiceret eos a facie sua: 21Even from that time, when Israel was rent from the house of David, and made Jeroboam, son of Nabat, their king: for Jeroboam separated Israel from the Lord, and made them commit a great sin.Fin da quel tempo, in cui Israele fece scissura dalla casa di Davidde, e si elesse per suo re Geroboam figliuolo di Nabath (perchè Geroboam separò Israele dal Signore, e lo indusse a commettere il gran peccato.)euen now from that time, when Israel was rent from the house of Dauid, and made Ieroboam the sonne of Nabat their king: for Ieroboam seperated Israel from our Lord, and made them sinne a great sinne.ex eo jam tempore quo scissus est Israël a domo David, et consituerunt sibi regem Jeroboam filium Nabat: separavit enim Jeroboam Israël a Domino, et peccare eos fecit peccatum magnum. 22And the children of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam, which he had done: and they departed not from them,Imitarono i figliuoli d'Israele tutte le iniquità commesse da Geroboam, nè mai le abbandonarono,And the children of Israel walked in al the sinnes of Ieroboam, which he had done: and they departed not from them,Et ambulaverunt filii Israël in universis peccatis Jeroboam quæ fecerat: et non recesserunt ab eis, 23Till the Lord removed Israel from his face, as he had spoken in the hand of all his servants, the prophets: and Israel was carried away out of their land to Assyria, unto this day.Fino a tanto che il Signore si tolse dinanzi Israele, come avea predetto per mezzo di tutti i profeti suoi servi. E Israele fù trasportato dalla sua terra nell'Assiria, dov'è anche in oggi.vntil our Lord tooke away Israel from his face, as he had spoken in the hand of al his seruantes the Prophetes: and Israel was transported out of their land vnto the Assyrians, vntil this day.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.

24And the king of the Assyrians brought people from Babylon, and from Cutha, and from Avah, and from Emath, and from Sepharvaim: and placed them in the cities of Samaria instead of the children of Israel: and they possessed Samaria, and dwelt in the cities thereof.E il re degli Assiri menò gente da Babilonia, e da Cutha, e da Avah, e da Emath, e da Sepharvaim, e diede ad essi stanza nelle città della Samaria in luogo de' figliuoli d'Israele. E quelli possedettero la Samaria, e dimorarono in quelle città.And the king of the Assyrians brought from Babylon, and from Cutha, and from Auah, and from Emath, and from Sepharuaim: and placed them in the cities of Samaria for the children of Israel: who possessed Samaria, and dwelt in the cities therof.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. 25And when they began to dwell there, they feared not the Lord: and the Lord sent lions among them, which killed them.E quando cominciarono a dimorarvi, non temevano il Signore; e il Signore mandò contro di loro dei leoni, i quali gli uccidevano.And when they began to dwel there, they feared not our Lord: and our Lord sent lions vpon them, which killed them.Cumque ibi habitare cœpissent, non timebant Dominum: et immisit in eos Dominus leones, qui interficiebant eos. 26And it was told the king of the Assyrians, and it was said: The nations which thou hast removed, and made to dwell in the cities of Samaria, know not the ordinances of the God of the land: and the Lord hath sent lions among them: and behold they kill them, because they know not the manner of the God of the land.E ne fu portata la nuova al re degli Assiri, e gli fu detto: Le genti, che tu hai trasportate ad abitare le città della Samaria, non han cognizione del culto del Dio di quel paese; e il Signore ha mandato contro di loro dei leoni, i quali gli uccidono, perchè ei non sanno i riti del Dio del paese.And it was told the king of the Assyrians, and sayd. The nations, which thou hast transferred, and made to dwel in the cities of Samaria, know not the ordinances of the God of the land: and the Lord hath sent lions vpon them: and behold they kil them, for that they know not the rite of the God of the land.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. 27And the king of the Assyrians commanded, saying: Carry thither one of the priests whom you brought from thence captive, and let him go, and dwell with them: and let him teach them the ordinances of the God of the land.E il re degli Assiri comandò, e disse: Si meni colà uno dei sacerdoti, che sono stati di là condotti in ischiavitù, ed egli vada a stare con quegli, e insegni loro il culto del Dio del paese.And the king of the Assyrians commanded, saying: Bring thither one of the priestes, which you brought thence captiue, and let him goe, and dwel with them: and let him teach them the ordinances of the God of the land.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.

28So one of the priests, who had been carried away captive from Samaria, came and dwelt in Bethel, and taught them how they should worship the Lord.Essendo adunque andato uno de' sacerdoti condotti schiavi dalla Samaria, abitò a Bethel, e insegnava a coloro la maniera di onorare il Signore.Therfore when one of those priests, which were led captiue from Samaria, was come, he dwelt in Bethel, and taught them how they should worship our Lord.Igitur cum venisset unus de sacerdotibus his qui captivi ducti fuerant de Samaria, habitavit in Bethel, et docebat eos quomodo colerent Dominum. 29And every nation made gods of their own and put them in the temples of the high places, which the Samaritans had made, every nation in their cities where they dwelt.Ma ciascheduna nazione si formò il suo Dio, e li collocarono negli adoratori eccelsi eretti dai Samaritani: ogni nazione (ebbe il suo) in ogni città da lei abitata.And euerie Nation framed their owne god, and put them in the highe temples, which the Samaritanes had made, Nation and Nation in their cities, where they dwelt.Et unaquæque gens fabricata est deum suum: posueruntque eos in fanis excelsis quæ fecerant Samaritæ, gens et gens in urbibus suis, in quibus habitabat. 30For the men of Babylon made Sochothbenoth: and the Cuthites made Nergel: and the men of Emath made Asima.Perocché i Babilonesi fecero i Socoth-benoth, e i Cutei, Nergel, e quelli di Emath fecero Asima.For the men of Babylon made Socoth benoth: and the Cutheites made Nergel: and the men of Emath made Asima.Viri enim Babylonii fecerunt Sochothbenoth: viri autem Cuthæi fecerunt Nergel: et viri de Emath fecerunt Asima. 31And the Hevites made Nebahaz, and Tharthac. And they that were of Sepharvaim burnt their children in fire, to Adramelech and Anamelech, the gods of Sepharvaim.E gli Hevei fecero Nebahaz, e Tharthac: e quei di Sepharvaim bruciavano i lor figliuoli in onore di Adramelech, e di Anamelech dei di Sepharvaim.Moreouer the Heueites made Nebahaz & Tharthac. And they that were of Sepharuaim burnt their children in fyre, to Adramelech, and Anamelech the goddes of Sepharuaim.Porro Hevæi fecerunt Nebahaz et Tharthac. Hi autem qui erant de Sepharvaim, comburebant filios suos igni, Adramelech et Anamelech diis Sepharvaim, 32And nevertheless they worshipped the Lord. And they made to themselves, of the lowest of the people, priests of the high places, and they placed them in the temples of the high places.E con tutto questo adoravano il Signore. E della gente più vile crearono sacerdoti de' luoghi eccelsi, e li collocavano negli alti adoratori.and neuetheles they worshipped our Lord. And they made to themselues of the vilest persones priestes of the excelses, and they placed them in the highe temples.et nihilominus colebant Dominum. Fecerunt autem sibi de novissimis sacerdotes excelsorum, et ponebant eos in fanis sublimibus.

33And when they worshipped the Lord, they served also their own gods, according to the custom of the nations out of which they were brought to Samaria:E adorando il Signore, servivano insieme a' loro dei secondo il costume delle genti, donde erano stati trasportati a Samaria:And when they worshipped our Lord, they serued also their owne goddes according to the custome of the Nations out of the which they were transported to Samaria:Et cum Dominum colerent, diis quoque suis serviebant juxta consuetudinem gentium, de quibus translati fuerant Samariam. 34Unto this day they follow the old manner: they fear not the Lord, neither do they keep his ceremonies, and judgments, and law, and the commandment, which the Lord commanded the children of Jacob, whom he surnamed Israel:Ei perseverano sino al dì d'oggi nell'antico costume: non temono il Signore, e non osservano le sue cerimonie, e i riti, e le leggi, e i comandamenti intimati dal Signore a' figliuoli di Giacobbe, cui egli diede il soprannome d'Israele:vntil this present day they folow the old maner: they feare not our Lord, neither keepe they his ceremonies, and iudgements, and law, and the commandemet, which our Lord commanded the children of Iacob, whom he surnamed Israel: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: 35With whom he made a covenant, and charged them, saying: You shall not fear strange gods, nor shall you adore them, nor worship them, nor sacrifice to them.Con essi aveva egli fermato il patto, e avea lor comandato: Non temete gli dei stranieri, e non gli adorate, e non rendete loro culto veruno, né offerite loro sacrifizi:and he had made a couenant with them, & had commanded them, saying: Feare not strange goddes, and adore them not, neither worship them, and immolate not to them.et percusserat cum eis pactum, et mandaverat eis, dicens: Nolite timere deos alienos, et non adoretis eos, neque colatis eos, et non immoletis eis: 36But the Lord, your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, with great power, and a stretched out arm, him shall you fear, and him shall you adore, and to him shall you sacrifice.Ma il Signore Dio vostro, il quale vi ha tratti dalla terra d'Egitto con possanza grande, e colla forza del suo braccio, lui temete, lui adorate, e a lui offerite sagrifizi.But the Lord your God, which brought you out of the Land of Aegypt in great strength, and a stretched out arme, him feare ye, and him adore, and to him doe ye immolate.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.

37And the ceremonies, and judgments, and law, and the commandment, which he wrote for you, you shall observe to do them always: and you shall not fear strange gods.E osservate, e adempite costantemente le cerimonie, e i riti, e la legge, e i comandamenti dati a voi per iscritto: e non temete gli dei stranieri:The ceremonies also, and iudgementes, and law, and the commandment, that he wrote you, kepe ye, that you may doe them alwaies: and feare not strange goddes.Cæremonias quoque, et judicia, et legem, et mandatum, quod scripsit vobis, custodite ut faciatis cunctis diebus: et non timeatis deos alienos. 38And the covenant that he made with you, you shall not forget: neither shall ye worship strange gods,E non ponete in dimenticanza il patto, che egli fermò con voi; e non rendete culto agli dei stranieri,And the couenant, that he made with you, forget not: neither doe ye worship strange goddes,Et pactum quod percussit vobiscum, nolite oblivisci: nec colatis deos alienos, 39But fear the Lord, your God, and he shall deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies.Ma temete il Signore Dio vostro; ed ei vi libererà dalle mani di tutti i vostri nemici.but feare our Lord your God, and he wil deliuer you out of the hand of al your enemies.sed Dominum Deum vestrum timete, et ipse eruet vos de manu omnium inimicorum vestrorum. 40But they did not hearken to them, but did according to their old custom.Quelli però non dieder retta, ma secondo l'antico loro costume operarono.But they heard not, but did according to their old custome.Illi vero non audierunt, sed juxta consuetudinem suam pristinam perpetrabant. 41So these nations feared the Lord, but nevertheless served also their idols: their children also, and grandchildren, as their fathers did, so do they unto this day.Queste genti pertanto renderon culto al Signore, ma con tutto questo servirono anche agli idoli loro; imperocché quello, che fecero i padri loro, lo hanno fatto i loro figliuoli, e i nipoti sino al dì d'oggi.These Nations therfore were fearing of our Lord but neuerthelesse seruing their idols also: for both their children and nephewes, as their fathers did, soe doe they vntil this present day.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.
