2 Manghai 21

1 Manasseh a manghai vaengah kum hlai nit ni a lo ca pueng tih Jerusalem ah kum sawmnga kum nga manghai. A manu ming tah Hephzibah ni.

Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Hephzibah.

2 BOEIPA loh Israel ca rhoek mikhmuh lamkah a haek namtom rhoek kah tueilaehkoi bangla BOEIPA mikhmuh 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 phae hmuensang te a sak. Baal ham hmueihtuk a thoh tih Israel manghai Ahab kah a saii bangla Asherah te a saii. Vaan kah caempuei cungkuem taengah bakop tih te rhoek taengah tho a thueng.

For he built again the high places which Hezekiah his father had destroyed; and he raised up altars for Baal, and made an Asherah, as Ahab king of Israel did, and worshipped all the army of the sky, and served them.

4 BOEIPA loh, “Ka ming he Jerusalem ah ni ka khueh eh?,” a ti vanbangla BOEIPA im ah hmueihtuk a suem.

He built altars in the LORD’s house, of which the LORD said, “I will put my name in Jerusalem.”

5 BOEIPA im kah vongup rhoi ah vaan caempuei cungkuem ham hmueihtuk a suem pah.

He built altars for all the army of the sky in the two courts of the LORD’s house.

6 A ca te hmai dongah a kat sak. Kutyaek a sawt tih lung a sawt. Rhaitonghma a dawt tih a mikhmuh ah boethae saii ham neh BOEIPA veet ham te hnam la tlung.

He made his son to pass through the fire, practised sorcery, used enchantments, 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 Asherah mueithuk a saii te im ah a khueh. Te te BOEIPA loh a ca David taeng neh Solomon taengah tah, “He im khui neh Israel koca cungkuem lamloh ka coelh Jerusalem ah he kumhal duela ka ming ka khueh ni.

He set the engraved image of Asherah that he had made in the house of which the LORD 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 A cungkuem dongah amih ka uen bangla saii ham a ngaithuen uh mak atah a napa rhoek taengah ka paek khohmuen lamloh Israel kah khokan rhaehba sak ham ka khoep mahpawh. Te dongah a cungkuem dongkah olkhueng te ka sal Moses loh amih a uen coeng,” a ti nah.

I will not cause the feet of Israel to wander any more out of the land which I gave their fathers, if only they will observe to do according to all that I have commanded them, and according to all the law that my servant Moses commanded them.”

9 Tedae a ngai uh pawt dongah Manasseh loh amih kho a hmang sak. Te dongah BOEIPA loh Israel ca rhoek mikhmuh lamkah a milh sak namtom rhoek lakah boethae a saii.

But they didn’t listen, and Manasseh seduced them to do that which is evil more than the nations did whom the LORD destroyed before the children of Israel.

10 BOEIPA loh a sal, tonghma rhoek kut ah a thui tih,

The LORD spoke by his servants the prophets, saying,

11 “Judah manghai Manasseh loh tueilaehkoi a saii vanbangla te rhoek te a mikhmuh kah Amori rhoek loh a saii boeih lakah khaw thae. Te dongah Judah khaw a mueirhol neh a tholh sak.

“Because Manasseh king of Judah has done these abominations, and has done wickedly above all that the Amorites did, who were before him, and has also made Judah to sin with his idols;

12 Te dongah ni Israel Pathen BOEIPA loh he he a thui. Kai loh Jerusalem neh Judah soah boethae ka khuen pah coeng. Te te aka ya la aka ya boeih tah a hna rhoi te umya uh bitni.

therefore the LORD the God of Israel says, ‘Behold, I will bring such evil on Jerusalem and Judah that whoever hears of it, both his ears will tingle.

13 Jerusalem soah Samaria rhilam neh Ahab im kah mikrhael ka toe ni. Bael a huih, a huih tih a hmai long a bueng bangla Jerusalem te ka huih ni.

I will stretch over Jerusalem the line of Samaria, and the plumb line of Ahab’s house; and I will wipe Jerusalem as a man wipes a dish, wiping it and turning it upside down.

14 Ka rho kah a meet te ka phap vetih amih te a thunkha kut ah ka paek ni. Te vaengah a thunkha cungkuem taengah maeh neh maehbuem la om uh ni.

I will cast off the remnant of my inheritance and deliver them into the hands of their enemies. They will become a prey and a plunder to all their enemies,

15 Ka mikhmuh ah boethae a saii uh tih a napa rhoek Egypt lamkah a caeh uh khohnin lamloh tahae khohnin hil kai aka veet la om uh,” a ti nah.

because they have done that which is evil in my sight, and have provoked me to anger since the day their fathers came out of Egypt, even to this day.’”

16 Ommongsitoe thii khaw Manasseh loh muep a long sak aih. Jerusalem a hmoi lamloh a hmoi hil a li sak. Amah kah tholhnah bueng kolla BOEIPA mikhmuh ah boethae saii hamla Judah te a tholh sak.

Moreover Manasseh shed innocent blood very much, until he had filled Jerusalem from one end to another; in addition to his sin with which he made Judah to sin, in doing that which was evil in the LORD’s sight.

17 Manasseh kah ol noi neh a cungkuem a saii te khaw, a tholhnah neh a tholh te khaw, Judah manghai rhoek kah khokhuen olka cabu dongah a daek uh moenih a?

Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and all that he did, and his sin that he sinned, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

18 Manasseh te a napa rhoek taengla a khoem uh vaengah tah amah im kah dum, Uzzah dum ah a up uh. Te phoeiah a capa Amon te anih yueng la manghai.

Manasseh slept with his fathers, and was buried in the garden of his own house, in the garden of Uzza; and Amon his son reigned in his place.

19 Amon he kum kul kum nit a lo ca vaengah manghai tih Jerusalem ah kum nit manghai. A manu ming tah Jotbah lamkah Haruz canu Meshullemeth ni.

Amon was twenty-two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned two years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Meshullemeth the daughter of Haruz of Jotbah.

20 A napa Manasseh kah a saii bangla BOEIPA mikhmuh ah thae a saii bal.

He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, as Manasseh his father did.

21 A napa kah a pongpa bangla longpuei cungkuem ah pongpa. A napa kah thothueng bangla mueirhol taengah tho a thueng tih te rhoek taengah bakop.

He walked in all the ways that his father walked in, and served the idols that his father served, and worshipped them;

22 A napa rhoek kah Pathen BOEIPA te a hnoo tih BOEIPA kah longpuei ah pongpa pawh.

and he abandoned the LORD, the God of his fathers, and didn’t walk in the way of the LORD.

23 Tedae anih te Amon sal rhoek loh a taeng tih manghai te amah im ah a duek sakuh.

The servants of Amon conspired against him, and put the king to death in his own house.

24 Te dongah Amon manghai aka taeng boeih te khohmuen pilnam loh a ngawn. Te phoeiah tah khohmuen pilnam loh a capa Josiah te anih yueng la a manghai sakuh.

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.

25 Amon kah ol noi neh a saii te Judah manghai rhoek kah khokhuen olka cabu dongah a daek uh moenih a?

Now the rest of the acts of Amon which he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

26 Anih te Uzzah dum kah amah phuel ah a up. Te phoeiah a capa Josiah te anih yueng la manghai.

He was buried in his tomb in the garden of Uzza, and Josiah his son reigned in his place.
