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 was ruling for fifty-five years in Jerusalem.
2 Činio je što je zlo u Jahvinim očima, povodeći se za gnusobama naroda što ih je Jahve protjerao pred sinovima Izraelovim.
He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, copying the disgusting ways of the nations whom the Lord had sent out of the land before the children of Israel.
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 put up again the high places which had been pulled down by his father Hezekiah; and he made altars for the Baals, and pillars of wood, and was a worshipper and servant of all the stars of heaven;
4 Podigao je žrtvenike i u Domu Jahvinu, za koji bijaše rekao Jahve: “U Jeruzalemu će prebivati Ime moje zauvijek.”
And he made altars in the house of the Lord, of which the Lord had said, In Jerusalem will my name be for ever.
5 Sagradio je žrtvenike svoj nebeskoj vojsci u oba predvorja Doma Jahvina.
And he made altars for all the stars of heaven in the two outer squares of the house of the Lord.
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.
More than this, he made his children go through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom; and he made use of secret arts, and signs for reading the future, and unnatural powers, and gave positions to those who had control of spirits and to wonder-workers: he did much evil in the eyes of the Lord, moving him to wrath.
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.
And he put the image he had made in the house of God, the house of which God had said to David and to Solomon his son, In this house, and in Jerusalem, the town which I have made mine out of all the tribes of Israel, will I put my name for ever:
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.”
And never again will I let the feet of Israel be moved out of the land which I have given to their fathers; if only they will take care to do all my orders, even all the law and the orders and the rules given to them by Moses.
9 Ali je Manaše zaveo Judejce i Jeruzalemce te su radili još gore nego narodi što ih je Jahve iskorijenio pred sinovima Izraelovim.
And Manasseh made Judah and the people of Jerusalem go out of the true way, so that they did more evil than those nations whom the Lord gave up to destruction before the children of Israel.
10 Jahve je opominjao Manašea i njegov narod, ali oni nisu poslušali.
And the word of the Lord came to Manasseh and his people, but they gave no attention.
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 sent against them the captains of the army of Assyria, who made Manasseh a prisoner and took him away in chains to Babylon.
12 Kad se našao u nevolji, počeo se moliti za milost Jahvi, svome Bogu, ponizivši se veoma pred Bogom otaca.
And crying out to the Lord his God in his trouble, he made himself low 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 made prayer to him; and in answer to his prayer God let him come back to Jerusalem and to his kingdom. Then Manasseh was certain that the Lord was 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 he made an outer wall for the town of David, on the west side of Gihon in the valley, as far as the way into the town by the fish doorway; and he put a very high wall round the Ophel; and he put captains of the army in all the walled towns 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 took away the strange gods and the image out of the house of the Lord, and all the altars he had put up on the hill of the Lord's house and in Jerusalem, and put them out of the town.
16 Zatim opet podiže Jahvin žrtvenik i žrtvova na njemu žrtve pričesnice i zahvalnice. Zapovjedi i Judejcima da služe Jahvi, Bogu Izraelovu.
And he put the altar of the Lord in order, offering peace-offerings and praise-offerings on it, and said that all Judah were to be servants of the Lord, the God of Israel.
17 Ipak je narod još žrtvovao po uzvišicama, ali samo Jahvi, svojem Bogu.
However, the people still made offerings in 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.
Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and his prayer to his God, and the words which the seers said to him in the name of the Lord, the God of Israel, are recorded among the acts 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.
And the prayer which he made to God, and how God gave him an answer, and all his sin and his wrongdoing, and the places where he made high places and put up pillars of wood and images, before he put away his pride, are recorded in the history of the seers.
20 Tada Manaše počinu kraj svojih otaca. Sahranili su ga u dvoru. Na njegovo se mjesto zakraljio sim mu Amon.
So Manasseh went to rest with his fathers, and they put his body to rest in his house, and Amon his son became king 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 was ruling for two years in Jerusalem.
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.
He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, as Manasseh his father had done; and Amon made offerings to all the images which his father Manasseh had made, and was their servant.
23 Ali se nije ponizio pred Jahvom kako se ponizio otac mu Manaše, nego je još i umnožio svoju krivicu.
He did not make himself low before the Lord, as his father Manasseh had done, but went on sinning more and more.
24 Tada se protiv njega urotiše njegove sluge i ubiše ga u dvoru.
And his servants made a secret design against him, and put him to death in his house.
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 put to death all those who had taken part in the design against King Amon, and made his son Josiah king in his place.
