< 2 Khokhuen 33 >
1 Manasseh te a manghai vaengah kum hlai nit lo ca pueng tih Jerusalem ah sawmnga neh kum nga manghai.
Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem.
2 BOEIPA loh Israel ca mikhmuh lamkah a haek tangtae namtom kah tueilaehkoi bangla BOEIPA mik ah boethae a saii.
He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, after the abominations of the nations whom the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.
3 Mael tih a napa Hezekiah loh a palet tangtae hmuensang te a thoh. Baal hamla hmueihtuk a suem tih Asherah a saii. Vaan caempuei boeih taengah bakop tih te rhoek taengah tho a thueng.
For he built again the high places which Hezekiah his father had broken down; and he raised up altars for the Baals, made Asheroth, and worshiped all the army of the sky, and served them.
4 BOEIPA loh, “Ka ming he Jerusalem ah kumhal duela om ni,” a ti lalah BOEIPA im khuiah hmueihtuk a suem.
He built altars in the LORD’s house, of which the LORD said, “My name shall be in Jerusalem forever.”
5 BOEIPA im vongup rhoi ah vaan caempuei cungkuem ham hmueihtuk a suem.
He built altars for all the army of the sky in the two courts of the LORD’s house.
6 Anih loh a ca rhoek te kolrhawk kah hmai khuila a kat sak. Kutyaek a sawt, lung a sawt, hlang a bi, rhaitonghma neh hnam a saii. Amah veet hamla BOEIPA mik ah boethae a saii khaw khawk.
He also made his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom. He practiced sorcery, divination, and witchcraft, and dealt with those who had familiar spirits and with wizards. He did much evil in the LORD’s sight, to provoke him to anger.
7 Mueimae mueithuk a saii te Pathen im ah a khueh. Te te Pathen loh David taeng neh a capa Solomon taengah khaw, “Israel koca boeih lamloh ka coelh, he im khui neh Jerusalem khuiah tah kumhal duela ka ming te ka khueh eh.
He set the engraved image of the idol, which he had made, in God’s house, of which God said to David and to Solomon his son, “In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, I will put my name forever.
8 Tedae Israel kah kho te na pa rhoek taengah ka thoh khohmuen dong lamloh nong sak ham ka khoep mahpawh. Moses kut lamloh amih ka uen bangla olkhueng neh oltlueh neh laitloeknah boeih te a cungkuem la vai ham a ngaithuen mak atah,” a ti.
I will not any more remove the foot of Israel from off the land which I have appointed for your fathers, if only they will observe to do all that I have commanded them, even all the law, the statutes, and the ordinances given by Moses.”
9 Tedae Manasseh loh namtom rhoek lakah boethae saii ham Judah neh Jerusalem khosa rhoek te kho a hmang sak. Te rhoek te BOEIPA loh Israel ca rhoek mikhmuh lamkah a mitmoeng sak coeng dae ta.
Manasseh seduced Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that they did more evil than did the nations whom the LORD destroyed before the children of Israel.
10 BOEIPA loh Manasseh taeng neh a pilnam taengah a thui dae hnatung uh pawh.
The LORD spoke to Manasseh and to his people, but they didn’t listen.
11 Te dongah BOEIPA loh Assyria manghai kah caempuei mangpa rhoek te amih taengla a thak. Manasseh te mutlo hling neh a tuuk uh tih rhohum neh a khih uh phoeiah Babylon la a khuen uh.
Therefore the LORD brought on them the captains of the army of the king of Assyria, who took Manasseh in chains, bound him with fetters, and carried him to Babylon.
12 A taengah puen a cak vaengah tah a Pathen BOEIPA mikhmuh ah nue coeng tih a napa rhoek kah Pathen mikhmuh ah muep kunyun.
When he was in distress, he begged the LORD his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers.
13 Tedae a taengla a thangthui vaengah tah anih te a rhoi tih a lungmacil te a hnatun pah. Te dongah amah khaw a ram te Jerusalem la mael. Te vaengah Manasseh loh Yahweh amah he Pathen ni tila a ming.
He prayed to him; and he was entreated by him, and heard his supplication, and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the LORD was God.
14 A hnukah tah David khopuei rhamvoel kah vongtung te khotlak kah Gihon soklong ah a sak tih nga vongka a pha. Ophel te a tuung tih muep a sang sak. Judah kah vong cak khopuei boeih ah tatthai mangpa rhoek a khueh.
Now after this, he built an outer wall to David’s city on the west side of Gihon, in the valley, even to the entrance at the fish gate. He encircled Ophel with it, and raised it up to a very great height; and he put valiant captains in all the fortified cities of Judah.
15 Kholong pathen rhoek neh a mueimae te khaw BOEIPA im lamloh a khoe tih, BOEIPA im tlang neh Jerusalem kah a sak hmueihtuk boeih khaw khopuei rhamvoel la a voeih.
He took away the foreign gods and the idol out of the LORD’s house, and all the altars that he had built in the mountain of the LORD’s house and in Jerusalem, and cast them out of the city.
16 BOEIPA kah hmueihtuk te cikngae la a sak bal tih a soah rhoepnah neh uemonah hmueih te a nawn. Judah taengah khaw Israel Pathen BOEIPA taengah thothueng hamla a thui pah.
He built up the LORD’s altar, and offered sacrifices of peace offerings and of thanksgiving on it, and commanded Judah to serve the LORD, the God of Israel.
17 Tedae pilnam te hmuensang ah a nawn pueng tih a Pathen BOEIPA te khaw a bawkuh.
Nevertheless the people still sacrificed in the high places, but only to the LORD their God.
18 Manasseh kah ol noi khaw, a Pathen taengah a thangthuinah khaw, Israel Pathen BOEIPA ming neh anih taengah aka thui khohmu rhoek kah ol khaw, Israel manghai rhoek kah olka khuiah om coeng ke.
Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and his prayer to his God, and the words of the seers who spoke to him in the name of the LORD, the God of Israel, behold, they are written among the acts of the kings of Israel.
19 A thangthuinah neh a thangthui khaw, a tholhnah neh a boekoeknah boeih khaw, a soah hmuensang a sak nah hmuen te khaw, Asherah neh mueidaep a hol tih a hmai ah a kunyun khaw, Hozai kah olka khuiah a daek uh coeng ke.
His prayer also, and how God listened to his request, and all his sin and his trespass, and the places in which he built high places and set up the Asherah poles and the engraved images before he humbled himself: behold, they are written in the history of Hozai.
20 Manasseh te a napa rhoek taengla a khoem uh vaengah anih te amah im ah a up uh. Te phoeiah tah a capa Amon te anih yueng la manghai.
So Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they buried him in his own house; and Amon his son reigned in his place.
21 Amon a manghai vaengah kum kul kum nit lo ca pueng tih Jerusalem ah kum nit manghai.
Amon was twenty-two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned two years in Jerusalem.
22 A napa Manasseh kah a saii bangla BOEIPA mik ah boethae a saii. A napa Manasseh kah a saii mueidaep cungkuem taengah Amon loh a nawn tih tho a thueng.
He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, as did Manasseh his father; and Amon sacrificed to all the engraved images which Manasseh his father had made, and served them.
23 A napa Manasseh kah a kunyun bangla BOEIPA mikhmuh ah a kunyun moenih. Amon amah lat loh dumlai a pung sak.
He didn’t humble himself before the LORD, as Manasseh his father had humbled himself; but this same Amon trespassed more and more.
24 Te vaengah anih te a sal rhoek loh a taeng uh tih amah im ah a duek sakuh.
His servants conspired against him, and put him to death in his own house.
25 Te dongah manghai Amon aka taeng boeih te khohmuen pilnam loh a ngawn. Te phoeiah tah khohmuen pilnam loh a capa Josiah te anih yueng la a manghai sak.
But the people of the land killed all those who had conspired against King Amon; and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his place.
