6. तब इस्राएलियों ने फिर यहोवा की दृष्टि में बुरा किया, अर्थात् बाल देवताओं और अश्तोरेत देवियों और आराम, सीदोन, मोआब, अम्मोनियों, और पलिश्तियों के देवताओं की उपासना करने लगे; और यहोवा को त्याग दिया, और उसकी उपासना न की।
6. Once again the people of Israel did what was evil in the sight of the Lord. They served the gods that were named after Baal. They served the goddesses that were named after Ashtoreth. They worshiped the gods of Aram and Sidon. They served the gods of Moab and Ammon. They also worshiped the gods of the Philistines. The people of Israel deserted the Lord. They didn't serve him anymore.
