Lakini kila mara mwamuzi alipofariki, watu walirudia katika hali mbaya ya uovu zaidi kuliko baba zao, wakiifuata miungu mingine kuitumikia na kuiabudu. Walikataa kuacha matendo yao maovu na njia zao za ukaidi.
Judges 2:19 in English
Judges 2:19 · Berean Standard Bible
But when the judge died, the Israelites became even more corrupt than their fathers, going after other gods to serve them and bow down to them. They would not give up their evil practices and stubborn ways.
Context
17Lakini hawakuwasikiliza hata waamuzi wao, bali walifanya uasherati kwa kuifuata miungu mingine na kuiabudu. Waligeuka mara na kuiacha njia ambayo baba zao waliiendea, yaani, njia ya kutii amri za Bwana. 18Kila mara Bwana alipowainulia mwamuzi, Bwana alikuwa pamoja na huyo mwamuzi, naye aliwaokoa kutoka mikononi mwa adui zao kwa kipindi chote alichoishi yule mwamuzi. Kwa kuwa Bwana aliwahurumia kwa sababu ya kilio chao cha huzuni kwa ajili ya wale waliokuwa wakiwatesa na kuwataabisha. 19Lakini kila mara mwamuzi alipofariki, watu walirudia katika hali mbaya ya uovu zaidi kuliko baba zao, wakiifuata miungu mingine kuitumikia na kuiabudu. Walikataa kuacha matendo yao maovu na njia zao za ukaidi. 20Kwa hiyo Bwana akawakasirikia sana Israeli na kusema, “Kwa kuwa taifa hili limevunja Agano lile nililofanya na baba zao na hawakunisikiliza, 21mimi nami sitafukuza taifa lolote ambalo Yoshua aliliacha alipofariki.
