2 Ljetopisa 33
1 Manašeu je bilo dvanaest godina kad se zakraljio. Pedeset i pet godina kraljevao je u Jeruzalemu.
Manasseh was twelve years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem fifty-five years.
2 Činio je što je zlo u Jahvinim očima, povodeći se za gnusobama naroda što ih je Jahve protjerao pred sinovima Izraelovim.
And he did evil in the sight of the LORD by following the abominations of the nations that the LORD had driven out before the Israelites.
3 Obnovio je uzvišice što ih bijaše oborio otac mu Ezekija, podigao je žrtvenike Baalu, načinio ašere i stao se klanjati svoj nebeskoj vojsci i služiti joj.
For he rebuilt the high places that his father Hezekiah had torn down, and he raised up altars for the Baals and made Asherah poles. And he worshiped and served all the host of heaven.
4 Podigao je žrtvenike i u Domu Jahvinu, za koji bijaše rekao Jahve: “U Jeruzalemu će prebivati Ime moje zauvijek.”
Manasseh also built altars in the house of the LORD, of which the LORD had said, “My Name will remain in Jerusalem forever.”
5 Sagradio je žrtvenike svoj nebeskoj vojsci u oba predvorja Doma Jahvina.
In both courtyards of the house of the LORD, he built altars to all the host of heaven.
6 I sinove je svoje proveo kroz oganj u dolini Hinomova sina. Vračao je, gatao, čarao, stvorio bajače i opsjenare i uopće učinio premnogo zla u Jahvinim očima razjarujući ga.
He sacrificed his sons in the fire in the Valley of Hinnom. He practiced sorcery, divination, and witchcraft, and consulted mediums and spiritists. He did great evil in the sight of the LORD, provoking Him to anger.
7 Načinio je idolski lik i posadio ga u Domu Božjem, za koji Bog bijaše rekao Davidu i njegovu sinu Salomonu: “U ovom Domu i u Jeruzalemu, koji sam izabrao među svim izraelskim plemenima, postavit ću Ime svoje zauvijek.
Manasseh even took the carved image he had made and set it up in the house of God, of which God had said to David and his son Solomon, “In this temple and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, I will establish My Name forever.
8 Neću više dati da noga Izraelaca uzmakne iz zemlje koju sam dao u baštinu vašim očevima, samo ako budu držali i provodili u djelo sve što sam im zapovjedio: sav Zakon, uredbe i običaje dane preko Mojsija.”
I will never again cause the feet of the Israelites to leave the land that I assigned to your fathers, if only they are careful to do all that I have commanded them through Moses—all the laws, statutes, and judgments.”
9 Ali je Manaše zaveo Judejce i Jeruzalemce te su radili još gore nego narodi što ih je Jahve iskorijenio pred sinovima Izraelovim.
So Manasseh led the people of Judah and Jerusalem astray, so that they did greater evil than the nations that the LORD had destroyed before the Israelites.
10 Jahve je opominjao Manašea i njegov narod, ali oni nisu poslušali.
And the LORD spoke to Manasseh and his people, but they did not listen.
11 Stoga je Jahve doveo na njih vojskovođe asirskoga kralja. Uhvativši Manašea kukama, svezali su ga u dvoje mjedene verige i odveli u Babilon.
So the LORD brought against them the military commanders of the king of Assyria, who captured Manasseh, put a hook in his nose, bound him with bronze shackles, and took him to Babylon.
12 Kad se našao u nevolji, počeo se moliti za milost Jahvi, svome Bogu, ponizivši se veoma pred Bogom otaca.
And in his distress, Manasseh sought the favor of the LORD his God and earnestly humbled himself before the God of his fathers.
13 Molio se i Bog mu se smilovao te usliša njegovu prošnju i vrati ga u Jeruzalem u kraljevstvo. Manaše tada spozna da je Jahve Bog.
And when he prayed to Him, the LORD received his plea and heard his petition; so He brought him back to Jerusalem and to his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the LORD is God.
14 Poslije toga sagradio je vanjski zid Davidovu gradu zapadno od Gihona, od doline pa do Ribljih vrata, i opasao zidom Ofel, izvevši ga vrlo visoko. Postavio je bojne vojvode u svim tvrdim gradovima u Judi.
After this, Manasseh rebuilt the outer wall of the City of David from west of Gihon in the valley to the entrance of the Fish Gate, and he brought it around the hill of Ophel and heightened it considerably. He also stationed military commanders in all the fortified cities of Judah.
15 Osim toga, uklonio je iz Jahvina Doma tuđinske bogove, onaj idolski lik i sve žrtvenike što ih bijaše posagradio na gori Jahvina Doma i u Jeruzalemu i sve ih baci izvan grada.
He removed the foreign gods and the idol from the house of the LORD, along with all the altars he had built on the temple mount and in Jerusalem, and he dumped them outside the city.
16 Zatim opet podiže Jahvin žrtvenik i žrtvova na njemu žrtve pričesnice i zahvalnice. Zapovjedi i Judejcima da služe Jahvi, Bogu Izraelovu.
Then he restored the altar of the LORD and sacrificed peace offerings and thank offerings on it, and he told Judah to serve the LORD, the God of Israel.
17 Ipak je narod još žrtvovao po uzvišicama, ali samo Jahvi, svojem Bogu.
Nevertheless, the people still sacrificed at the high places, but only to the LORD their God.
18 Ostala Manašeova djela i njegova molitva Bogu, riječi koje su mu govorili vidioci u ime Jahve, Izraelova Boga, zapisane su u Povijesti izraelskih kraljeva.
As for the rest of the acts of Manasseh, along with 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, they are indeed written in the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.
19 Njegova molitva i kako je bio uslišan, svi njegovi grijesi i njegova nevjera te mjesta na kojima je pogradio uzvišice, podigao ašere i idole prije nego što se ponizio - sve je to zapisano u povijesti Hozajevoj.
His prayer and how God received his plea, as well as all his sin and unfaithfulness, and the sites where he built high places and set up Asherah poles and idols before he humbled himself, they are indeed written in the Records of the Seers.
20 Tada Manaše počinu kraj svojih otaca. Sahranili su ga u dvoru. Na njegovo se mjesto zakraljio sim mu Amon.
And Manasseh rested with his fathers and was buried at his palace. And his son Amon reigned in his place.
21 Dvadeset su i dvije godine bile Amonu kad se zakraljio, a kraljevao je dvije godine u Jeruzalemu.
Amon was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem two years.
22 Činio je što je zlo u Jahvinim očima, kao i otac mu Manaše, jer je svim idolima koje bijaše načinio njegov otac Manaše on prinosio žrtve i služio im.
And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, as his father Manasseh had done. Amon served and sacrificed to all the idols that his father Manasseh had made,
23 Ali se nije ponizio pred Jahvom kako se ponizio otac mu Manaše, nego je još i umnožio svoju krivicu.
but he did not humble himself before the LORD as his father Manasseh had done; instead, Amon increased his guilt.
24 Tada se protiv njega urotiše njegove sluge i ubiše ga u dvoru.
Then the servants of Amon conspired against him and killed him in his palace.
25 Ali je prosti puk pobio sve one koji se bijahu urotili protiv kralja Amona i na njegovo mjesto zakraljio sina mu Jošiju.
But the people of the land killed all those who had conspired against King Amon, and they made his son Josiah king in his place.
