2 Kraljevima 21
1 Manašeu je bilo dvanaest godina kad se zakraljio. Pedeset i pet godina kraljevao je u Jeruzalemu. Njegova se majka zvala Hefsi-Bah.
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 Činio je što je zlo u Jahvinim očima, povodeći se za gnusobama naroda što ih je Jahve protjerao pred Izraelovim sinovima.
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 Obnovio je uzvišice što ih bijaše oborio otac mu Ezekija, podigao je žrtvenik Baalu, načinio ašere kako bijaše učinio izraelski kralj Ahab; i stao se klanjati svoj vojsci nebeskoj i služiti joj.
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 Podigao je žrtvenike i u Domu Jahvinu, za koji bijaše rekao Jahve: “U Jeruzalemu će prebivati moje Ime zauvijek.”
He built altars in the LORD’s house, of which the LORD said, “I will put my name in Jerusalem.”
5 Sagradio je žrtvenike svoj nebeskoj vojsci u oba predvorja Doma Jahvina.
He built altars for all the army of the sky in the two courts of the LORD’s house.
6 I sinove je svoje proveo kroz oganj. Vračao je, gatao, stvorio bajače i opsjenare, učinio je premnogo zla u očima Jahve i razjarivao ga.
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 Dao je načiniti lik Ašere i posadio ga u Domu, za koji Jahve bijaše rekao Davidu i njegovu sinu Salomonu: “U ovom Domu i u Jeruzalemu, koji sam izabrao među svim izraelskim plemenima, postavit ću svoje Ime zauvijek.
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 Neću više dati da noga Izraelaca uzmakne iz zemlje koju sam dao u baštinu njihovim očevima, samo ako budu držali i provodili u djelo sve što sam im zapovjedio: Zakon što im ga je objavio moj sluga Mojsije.”
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 Ali oni nisu poslušali, Manaše ih je zaveo te su radili još gore nego narodi što ih je Jahve iskorijenio pred Izraelovim sinovima.
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 Tada je Jahve ovako govorio preko slugu svojih proroka:
The LORD spoke by his servants the prophets, saying,
11 “Zato što je judejski kralj Manaše činio te gnusobe, zato što je učinio više zla nego što su prije njega radili Amorejci i što je zaveo Judejce svojim idolima,
“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 ovako veli Jahve, Bog Izraelov: 'Evo, učinit ću da dođe nevolja na Jeruzalem i Judeju, takva da će zazujati oba uha onima koji o njoj čuju.
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 Nategnut ću nad Jeruzalemom isto uže kao nad Samarijom, isto mjerilo kao nad kućom Ahabovom; zbrisat ću Jeruzalem kao što se briše zdjela pa se tad izvrne.
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 Odbacit ću ostatke svoje baštine, predat ću ih u ruke njihovih neprijatelja; služit će za plijen i grabež svim svojim neprijateljima
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 jer su činili što je zlo u mojim očima jer su izazivali moj gnjev od dana kada su njihovi oci izišli iz Egipta pa sve do danas.'”
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 I mnogo je nedužne krvi prolio Manaše, tako da se njome napunio Jeruzalem od jednoga kraja do drugoga, da se i ne spominje njegov grijeh kojim je zaveo Judu da čini što je zlo u očima Jahvinim.
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 Ostala povijest Manašeova, njegova djela i grijesi koje je počinio, zar sve to nije zapisano u knjizi Ljetopisa judejskih kraljeva?
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 Manaše je počinuo kraj svojih otaca i sahranjen je u vrtu svojeg dvora, u vrtu Uzinu. Sin mu Amon zakralji se mjesto njega.
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 Amonu bijahu dvadeset i dvije godine kad je zavladao, a kraljevao je dvije godine u Jeruzalemu. Njegova se majka zvala Mešulemet, kći Harusova, i bila je iz Jotbe.
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 On je činio što je zlo u očima Jahvinim, kao što je činio njegov otac Manaše.
He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, as Manasseh his father did.
21 U svemu je slijedio put svoga oca, služio je idolima kojima je služio i njegov otac i klanjao im se.
He walked in all the ways that his father walked in, and served the idols that his father served, and worshipped them;
22 On je ostavio Jahvu, Boga svojih praotaca, i nije hodio putem Jahvinim.
and he abandoned the LORD, the God of his fathers, and didn’t walk in the way of the LORD.
23 Amonovi se časnici urotiše protiv njega i ubiše kralja u dvoru.
The servants of Amon conspired against him, and put the king to death in his own house.
24 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 the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his place.
25 Ostala povijest Amonova i sve što je činio, zar sve to nije zapisano u knjizi Ljetopisa judejskih kraljeva?
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 Pokopali su ga u grobnicu njegova oca, u vrtu Uzinu, a njegov sin Jošija zakralji se mjesto njega.
He was buried in his tomb in the garden of Uzza, and Josiah his son reigned in his place.
