17:1	Ἐν ἔτει δωδεκάτῳ τῷ Ἀχὰζ βασιλέως Ἰούδα Ἰούδα ἐβασίλευσεν Ὡσῆε υἱὸς Ἡλὰ ἐν Σαμαρείᾳ ἐπὶ Ἰσραὴλ ἐννέα ἔτη.
17:2	καὶ ἐποίησεν τὸ πονηρὸν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς Κυρίου, πλὴν οὐχ ὡς οἱ βασιλεῖς Ἰσραὴλ οἳ ἦσαν ἔμπροσθεν αὐτοῦ.
17:3	ἐπ’ αὐτὸν ἀνέβη Σαμεννάσαρ βασιλεὺς Ἀσσυρίων· καὶ ἐγενήθη αὐτῷ Ὡσῆε δοῦλος καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν αὐτῷ μανάχ.
17:4	καὶ εὗρεν βασιλεὺς Ἀσσυρίων ἐν τῷ τῷ Ὡσῆε ἀδικίαν, ὅτι ἀπέστειλεν ἀγγέλους πρὸς Σηγὼρ βασιλέα Αἰγύπτου, καὶ οὐκ ἤνεγκεν μαναὰ τῷ βασιλεῖ Ἀσσυρίων ἐν τῷ ἐνιαυτῷ ἐκείνῳ· καὶ ἐπολιόρκησεν αὐτὸν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἀσσυρίων, καὶ ἔδησεν αὐτὸν οἰκῳ οἴκῳ φυλακῆς.
17:5	καὶ ἀνέβη ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἀσσυρίων ἐν πάσῃ τῇ γῇ, καὶ ἀνέβη εἰς Σαμάρειαν καὶ ἐπολιόρκησεν ἐπ’ αὐτὴν τρία ἔτη.
17:6	ἐν ἔτει ἐνάτῳ Ὡσῆε συνέλαβεν βασιλεὺς Ἀσσυρίων τὴν Σαμάρειαν, κα ἀπῴκισεν τὸν Ἰσραὴλ εἰς Ἀσσυρίους, καὶ κατῴκισεν αὐτοὺς ἐν Ἁλάε καὶ ἐν Ἁβώρ, ποταμοῖς Γωζάρ, καὶ Ὁρὴ Μήδων.
17:7	Καὶ ἐγένετο ὅτι οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ τῷ κυρίῳ θεῷ αὐτῶν τῷ ἀναγαγόντι αὐτοὺς Αἰγύπτου ὑποκάτωθεν χειρὸς Φαραὼ βασιλέως Αἰγύπτου, κα ἐφοβήθησαν θεοὺς ἑτέρους,
17:8	καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν τοῖς ἐθνῶν ὧν ἐξῆρεν κύριος ἐκ προσώπου υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ, καὶ οἱ ὅσοι ἐποίησαν,
17:9	καὶ ὅσοι ἠμφιέσαντο οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ λόγους οὕτως κατὰ Κυρίου θεοῦ αὐτῶν· καὶ ὧν ᾠκοδόμησαν ἑαυτοῖς ὰ ἐν πάσαις ταῖς πόλεσιν αὐτῶν, ἀπὸ πύργου φυλασσόντων ἕως πόλεως ὀχυρᾶς.
17:10	καὶ ἐστήλωσαν ἑαυτοῖς στήλας καὶ ἄλση ἐπὶ παντὶ βουνῷ ὑψηλῷ καὶ ὑποκάτω παντὸς ξύλου ἀλσώδους·
17:11	καὶ ἐθυμίασαν ἐκεῖ ἐν πᾶσιν ὑψηλοῖς, καθὼς τὰ ἔθνη ἀπῴκισεν Κύριος ἐκ προσώπου αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐποίησαν κοινωνοὺς καὶ ἐχάραξαν τοῦ παροργίσαι τὸν κύριον·
17:12	καὶ ἐλάτευσαν τοῖς εἰδώλοις οἷς εἶπεν Κύριος αὐτοῖς Οὐ ποιήσετε τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο Κυρίῳ.
17:13	καὶ διεμαρτύρατο Κύριος ἐν τῷ Ἰσραὴλ καὶ ἐν τῷ Ἰούδᾳ ἐν χειρὶ Φητῶν αὐτοῦ παντὸς ὁρῶντος λόγον Ἀποστράφητε ἀπὸ τῶν ὁ ὑμῶν τῶν πονηρῶν, καὶ φυλάξατε τὰς ἐντολάς μου καὶ τὰ δικαιώματά μου καὶ πάντα τὸν νόμον ὃν ἐνετειλάμην τοῖς πατράσιν ὑμῶν, ὅσα ἀπέστειλα ἀπέστειλα ἐν χειρὶ τῶν δούλων μου τῶν προφητῶν.
17:14	καὶ οὐκ ἥκουσαν, καὶ ἐσκλήρυναν τὸν νῶτον αὐτῶν ὑπὲρ τὸν νῶτον τῶν πατέρων αὐτῶν·
17:15	καὶ τὰ μαρτύρια αὐτοῦ ὅσα διεμαρτύρατο αὐτοῖς, καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν ὀπίσω τῶν ματαίων , καὶ ἐματαιώθησαν καὶ ὀπίσω τῶν ἐθνῶν τῶν περικύκλῳ αὐτῶν, ὧν ἐνετείλατο αὐτοῖς μὴ ποιῆσαι κατὰ ταῦτα.
17:16	ἐνκατέλιπον τὰς ἐντολὰς Κυρίου θεοῦ αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐποίησαν ἑαυτοῖς χώνευμα δύο δαμάλεις, καὶ ἐποίησαν ἐποίησαν καὶ προσεκύνησαν πάσῃ τῇ δυνάμει τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ ἐλάτρευσαν τῷ Βάαλ·
17:17	καὶ διῆγον τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτῶν καὶ τὰς θυγατέρας αὐτῶν ἐν πυρί, ἐμαντεύοντο μαντείας καὶ οἰωνίζοντο· καὶ ἐπράθησαν τοῦ ποιῆσαι τὸ πονηρὸν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς Κυρίου παροργίσαι αὐτόν.
17:18	καὶ ἐθυμώθη Κύριος σφόδρα ἐν τῷ Ἰσραήλ, καὶ ἀπέστησεν αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ τοῦ προσώπου αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐχ ὑπελείφθη πλὴν φυλὴ Ἰούδα μονωτάτη.
17:19	καί γε Ἰούδας οὐκ ἐφύλαξεν τὰς ἐντολὰς τοῦ θεοῦ, καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν ἐν τοῖς δικαιῶμασιν Ἰσραὴλ οἷς ἐποίησαν.
17:20	καὶ ἀπεώσαντο τὸν κύριον ἐν παντὶ σπέρματι Ἰσραήλ. κοὶ ἐσάλευσεν αὐτοὺς καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτοὺς ἐν χερὶ διαρπαζόντων αὐτούς, ἕως οὗ ἀπέρριψεν αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτοῦ.
17:21	ὄτι πλὴν Ἰσραὴλ ἐπάνωθεν οἴκου Δαυείδ, καὶ ἐβασίλευσαν τὸν Ἰεροβοὰμ υἱὸν Ναβάτ· καὶ ἐξέωσεν Ἰεροβοὰμ τὸν Ἰσραὴλ ἐξόπισθεν Κυρίου καὶ ἐξήμαρτεν αὐτοὺς ἁμαρτίαν μεγάλην.
17:22	καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ ἐν πάσῃ ἁμαρτίᾳ ’Iεροβοὰμ ἧς ἑποίησεν· οὐκ ἀπέστησαν ἀπ’ αὐτης
17:23	ἕως οὗ μετέστησεν Κύριος τὸν Ἰσραὴλ ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτοῦ, καθὼς ἐλάλησεν Κύριος ἐν χειρὶ πάντων τῶν δούλων αὐτοῦ τῶν προφητῶν· καὶ ἀπῳκίσθη Ἰσραὴλ ἐπάνωθεν τῆς γῆς αὐτοῦ εἰς Ἀσσυρίους ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης.
17:24	Καὶ ἤγαγεν βασιλεὺς Ἀσσυρίων ἐκ Βαβυλῶνος τὸν ἐκ Χουνθά, ἀπὸ Αιὰ καὶ ἀπὸ Αἱμὰθ καὶ Σεπφαρουάιν· καὶ κατῳκίσθησαν ἐν πόλεσιν Σαμαρείας ἀντὶ τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ, καὶ ἐκληρονόμησαν τὴν Σαμάρειαν κα κατῴκησαν ἐν ταῖς πόλεσιν αὐτῆς.
17:25	καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν ἀρχῇ τῆς καθέδρας αὐτῶν οὐκ ἐφοβήθησαν τὸν κύριον, καὶ άπέστειλεν Κύριος ἐν αὐτοῖς τοὐς λέοντας, καὶ ἦσαν ἀποκτέννοντες ἐν αὐτοῖς.
17:26	καὶ εἶπον τῷ βασιλεῖ Ἀσσυρίων λέγοντες Τὰ ἔθνη ἄ 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.
17:27	καὶ ἐνετείλατο ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἀσσυρίων λέγων Ἀπάγετε ἐκεῖθεν, καὶ πορευέσθωσαν καὶ κατοικείτωσαν ἐκεῖ, καὶ φωτιοῦσιν αὐτοὺς τὸ κρίμα τῆς γῆς.
17:28	καὶ ἤγαγον ἕνα τῶν ἱερέων ὧν ἀπῴκισαν ἀπὸ Σαμαρείας, καὶ ἐκάθισεν ἐν Βαιθήλ, καὶ ἦν φωτίζων αὐτοὺς πῶς φοβηθῶσιν τὸν κύριον.
17:29	καὶ ἦσαν ποιοῦντες ἔθνη ἔθνη θεοὺς αὐτῶν, καὶ ἔθηκαν ἐν οἴκῳ τῶν ὑψηλῶν ὧν ἐποίησαν οἱ Σαμαρεῖται, ἔθνη ἐν ταῖς πόλεσιν αὐτῶν ἐν αἷς κατῴκουν ἐν αὐταῖς·
17:30	καὶ οἱ ἄνδρες Βαβθλῶνος ἐποίησαν τὴν Ῥοοἱ ἄνδρες Χοὺθ ἐποίησαν τὴν Ἐργέλ, καὶ οἱ ἄνδρες Ἑμὰθ τὴν Ἀσειμάθ,
17:31	καὶ οἱ Εὐαῖοι ἐποίησαν τὴν Ἐβλαζὲρ καὶ τὴν Θαρθὰκ καὶ τὴν Σεπφαρούν, ἡνίκα κατέκαιον τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτῶν ἐν πυρὶ τῷ Ἀδραμέλεχ καὶ Ἀνημέλεχ Σεφφαρούν.
17:32	καὶ ἦσαν φοβούμενοι τὸν κύριον, καὶ κατᾠ κισαν τὰ βδελύγματα αὐτῶν ἐν τοῖς οἴκοις τῶν ὑψηλῶν ἃ ἐποίησαν ἐν Σαμαρείᾳ, ἔθνος ἔθνος ἐν πόλει ἐν ᾖ κατᾠκουν ἐν αὐτῇ· καὶ ἦσαν φοβούμενοι τὸν κύριον, καὶ ἐποίησαν ἱερεῖς τῶν ὑψηλῶν, καὶ ἐποίησαν ἑαυτοῖς ἐν οἴκῳ τῶν ὑψηλῶν.
17:33	τὸν κύριον ἐφοβοῦντο, καὶ τοῖς θεοῖς αὐτῶν ἐλάτγρευον κατὰ τὸ κρίμα τῶν ἐθνῶν ὅθεν ἀπὠκισεν αὐτοὺς ἐκεῖθεν.
17:34	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 τῆν ἐντολὴν ἣν ἐνετείλατο Κύριος τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἰακὼβ οὖ ἔθηκεν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ἰσραήλ.
17:35	καὶ διέθετο Κύριος μετ’ αὐτῶν διαθήκη, καὶ ἐνετείλατο αὐτοῖς λέγων Οὐ φοβηθήσεσθε θεοὺς ἑτέρους καὶ προσκυνήσετε αὐτοῖς, καὶ οὐ λατρεύσετε αὐτοῖς καὶ οὐ θυσιάσετε αὐτοῖς·
17:36	ὅτι ἀλλ' ἢ τῷ κυρίῳ ὂς ἀνήγαγεν ὑμᾶς ἐκ τῆς Αἰγύπτου ἐν ἰσχύι μεγάλῃ καὶ ἐν βραχίονι ὑψηλῷ· αὐτὸν καὶ οὐ θυσιάσετε αὐτῷ προσκυνήσετε, αὐτῷ θύσετε.
17:37	καὶ τὰ δικαιώματα καὶ τὰ κρίματα καὶ τὸν νόμον καὶ τὰς ἐντολὰς ἃς ἔγραψεν ὑμῖν ποιεῖν φυλάσσεσθε πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας, καὶ οὐ φοβηθήσεσθε θεοὺς ἑτέρους.
17:38	καὶ τὴν διαθήκην ἣν διέθετο μεθ’ ὑμῶν οὐκ ἐπιλήσεσθε· καὶ οὐ φοβηθήσεσθε θεοὺς ἑτέρους,
17:39	ἀλλ’ ἢ τὸν κύριον θεὸν ὑμῶν φοβηθήσεσθε, καὶ αὐτὸς ἐξελεῖται ὑμᾶς ἐκ πάντων τῶν ἐχθρῶν ὑμῶν·
17:40	καὶ οὐκ ἀκούσεσθε ἔτι τῷ κρίματι αὐτῶν ὃ αὐτοὶ ποιοῦσιν.
17:41	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 ημέρας ταύτης.

What the layers are

L0 witness
The text as its witness or edition has it, original spelling; its dialect is a description and is never standardized.

L0.5 transliteration
For Egyptian texts: the transliteration with the editors' marks turned into the symbols ° * < > _ ^ (ruled 2026-09-10). For papyri: the edition's Leiden marks as the same symbols, and the editors' readings beside the scribe's as ‹scribe→editors› (ruled PAP-3).

L1 Cairene
Standardized Greco-Bohairic spelling and grammar, generated by code from the layer above under the rulings of the project.

L2 Kemetic
The Kemetic alphabet, generated by code from L1.

English
Quoted translations where they exist, credited; otherwise model drafts, marked as drafts.
