Manasseh was 12 years old when he became the king [of Judah], and he ruled from Jerusalem for 55 years.
2 Amahin Pakaiyin Israel chate masanga anano doh namdangho chonna kidah umtah ho chonna chu anache pi in Pakai mitmun thilse ngen abollin ahi
He did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil. He imitated the disgusting things that were formerly done by the people-groups that Yahweh had expelled from Israel as his people advanced [though the land].

He commanded his workers to rebuild the shrines [for worshiping idols] that his father Hezekiah had destroyed. He told them to set up altars to [honor] the statues of Baal, and to make altars to [honor the goddess] Asherah. He bowed down to [worship] all the stars.
4 Aman Pakai houinmai leh amiten ama ahin houna ding mun atiova chun semthu pathen houna maicham atungdoh kitnin ahi
He directed his workers to build altars [for foreign gods] in the temple, about which Yahweh had said, “It is here in Jerusalem that I want people to worship me, forever.”

He directed that altars for [worshiping] all the stars be built in both of the courtyards outside the temple.

He even sacrificed [some of] his own sons and burned them in a fire in Hinnom Valley. He performed rituals to practice sorcery. He asked fortune-tellers for advice. He performed witchcraft. He talked to people who consulted the spirits of people who had died to find out what would happen in the future. He did many things that Yahweh considered o be very evil, things that caused Yahweh to become very angry.

Manasseh took a carved idol [that his workers had made] and put it in the temple. That is the temple concerning which God had said to David and to his son Solomon, “My temple will be here in Jerusalem, the city that I have chosen [where I want people to] worship me, forever.
8 “Chuleh Israel mipiten kathupeh hi ajuijuva chuleh kalhacha pa Mosen anapeh u daanchu anit uva ahileh apu apateo kanapeh gam ma konna koima kakaidoh sah louhelding ahi”
If they will obey all the laws and decrees and regulations that I told Moses to give to them, I will not again force the Israeli people to leave this land that I gave to their ancestors.”
9 Manasseh in Judah mipi te achonset sah hi keiman kamite ahung kitolluva kana nodoh peh namdang ho chonset sangin agimnei jon ahi.
But Manasseh led the people of Jerusalem and other places in Judah to do things that are wrong, with the result that they did more evil than was done by the people in the people-groups that Yahweh had expelled as the Israeli people advanced [through the land].
10 Pakaiyin Manasseh leh amipi te anagih vang'in amahon ana nahsah pouvin ahi
Yahweh spoke to Manasseh and the people of Judah, but they paid no attention.
11 Hijeh chun Pakaiyin Assyria sepaite atildoh in Judahte chungah gal abolsah in, amahon Manasseh chu aman nun thihkol toh abutaovin thih khaovin akan nun Babylon nah akailut nun ahi
So Yahweh caused the army commanders of Assyria [and their soldiers] to [come to Jerusalem, and they] captured Manasseh. They put a hook in his nose and put bronze chains on his [feet] and took him to Babylon.
12 Ahahsat phatnin ahung kineosah in a Pakai a Pathen nah ahung kiheilut nin kithopi athummin ahi
There, while he was suffering, he humbled himself greatly in the presence of Yahweh, the God whom his ancestors [worshiped], and pleaded with Yahweh to help him.
13 Pathen nin Manasseh taona asangin Jerusalemma ale sollin avaihom sahkitnin ahi. Hiche phat chun Manasseh in Pakai chu Pathen tahbeh ahi ahechen taan ahi
When he prayed, Yahweh heard him and pitied him. So he [allowed him to] return to Jerusalem and [to] rule his kingdom again. Then Manasseh realized that Yahweh is [an all-powerful] God.
14 Hiche jouhin Manasseh chun David khopi solang panga chun polang pal chu asesangin, nga kelkot sahleng Gihon twiphul kom phaicham ma kon in Ophel kiti khopi kom geijin pal chu asesangin ahi. Kul kiget khum Judah khopi ho khatcheh a chun sepai aloi loijin lamkai khatnoija akoiyin ahi
Later, Manasseh’s [workers] rebuilt the eastern section of the outer wall around Jerusalem, and [they] made it higher. That section extended from Gihon Spring [north] to the Fish Gate, and around the part of the city that they called Ophel [Hill]. Manasseh also appointed army officers to guard each of the cities in Judah that had walls around them.
15 Houin na konchun gamdang pathen holeh milim semthu aman anakoi holeh, namdang maicham thinglhanga atundoh nao ahouin houleh Jerusalem mundang danga umho chu aladoh sohkeijin aga paimang jengin ahi
Manasseh’s [workers] removed from the temple the idols and the stone statues of gods of other nations. Manasseh also [told them to] remove the altars that they had previously built on Zion Hill and in [other places in] Jerusalem. He had all those things thrown out of the city.
16 Aman Pakai ahounao maicham jongchu asemphan ahi, hiche chunga chun chamna thilto leh thangvah na thilto abollin ahi, aman Judah mipi techu Israel Pathen Pakai chu nahou diu ahitin thu apen ahi
Then he [told them to] repair the altar of Yahweh, and he offered sacrifices to restore fellowship with Yahweh and to thank him. And he told [the people of] Judah that they must worship [only] Yahweh.
17 Ahin lah mipi hochun munsang dunga pumgo thilto chu achepi jing nalaijun ahi, ahivangin Pakai Pathen komma bou abol taovin ahi
The people continued to offer sacrifices on the hilltops, but only to Yahweh their God.
18 Manasseh in anabol jouse, Pathen henga ataona, themgao hon Pathen minna akom ma thu aseihou abonchan Israel lengte thusim bua abonchan akijhlut sohkei jin ahi
The other things that happened while Manasseh was ruling, including his prayer to God and the messages from Yahweh that the prophets gave to him, are written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
19 Lengpa taonaleh Pathennin adonbutna alung ahin hei masanga achonset na ho jouse le thilse abolho, namdnag pathen houna le adoihou munchom chomma atundoh ho jouse chu themgao ho thusim bua akijih lut nin ahi
What Manasseh prayed and how God pitied him because he pleaded to God, and also his sins and ways in which he disobeyed God, and the [list of] places where he built shrines and set up poles to [honor the goddess] Asherah and other idols [before he humbled himself], are written in what the prophets wrote.
20 Manasseh athiphat nin khopi sungah avuijun achapa Amon nin lengmun alotan ahi
Manasseh died and was buried in his palace. Then his son Amon became the king [of Judah].
21 Amon chu Juda gamma leng ahung chanchun kum 22 alhingtan ahi, amahin Jerusalema kum ni aleng chang ngin ahi
Amon was 22 years old when he became king, and he ruled in Jerusalem for two years.
22 Ama apa Manasseh bangin Pakai dounan achonse tan ahi aman apan anahou doiho chu ana houvin ahi
He did things that Yahweh considered to be evil, like his father Manasseh had done. Amon worshiped all the idols that Manasseh’s [workers] had made.
23 Ahinlah apa banhgin Pakai anga kisuhnem na anabol pon apa sangin chonset ana ha boljon ahi
But he did not humble himself and turn to Yahweh like his father did. So he became more sinful than his father had been.
24 Amon noija natong lamkai ho chu ana kihoutoh un leng inpi sunga chun ana that taovin ahi
Then Amon’s officials made plans to kill him. They assassinated him in his palace.
25 Judah mipiten Amon that hochu ana thatdoh un achapa Josiah chu leng anachan sah un ahi
But then the people of Judah killed all those who had assassinated Amon, and they appointed his son Josiah to be their king.
