2 Kronická 33
1 Ve dvanácti letech byl Manasses, když počal kralovati, a padesáte pět let kraloval v Jeruzalémě.
Manasseh was 12 years old when he became the king [of Judah], and he ruled from Jerusalem for 55 years.
2 Èinil pak to, což jest zlého před očima Hospodinovýma, vedlé ohavností těch národů, kteréž Hospodin vyhnal před syny Izraelskými.
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].
3 Nebo vzdělal zase výsosti, kteréž byl rozbořil Ezechiáš otec jeho, a vystavěl oltáře Bálům, a vysadil háje, a klaněje se všemu vojsku nebeskému, sloužil jim.
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 Vzdělal také oltáře v domě Hospodinově, o němž byl řekl Hospodin: V Jeruzalémě bude jméno mé na věky.
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.”
5 Vzdělal, pravím, oltáře všemu vojsku nebeskému ve dvou síních domu Hospodinova.
He directed that altars for [worshiping] all the stars be built in both of the courtyards outside the temple.
6 Přesto dal provoditi syny své skrze oheň v údolí Benhinnom, a šetřil času, s hadačstvím a s kouzly se obíral, a nařídil zaklinače a čarodějníky, a mnoho zlého páchal před očima Hospodinovýma, popouzeje ho.
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.
7 Postavil také obraz rytý, kterýž byl udělal, v domě Božím, o kterémž byl řekl Bůh Davidovi a Šalomounovi synu jeho: V domě tomto a v Jeruzalémě, kterýž jsem vyvolil ze všech pokolení Izraelských, oslavím jméno své na věky.
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 Aniž více pohnu nohou lidu Izraelského z země, kterouž jsem oddělil otcům vašim, jen toliko budou-li šetřiti, aby plnili všecko to, což jsem jim přikázal, všecken zákon, ustanovení a soudy skrze Mojžíše vydané.
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 Ale Manasses uvedl v blud Judské i obyvatele Jeruzalémské, tak že činili horší věci nežli ti národové, kteréž vyplénil Hospodin před tváří synů Izraelských.
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 A ačkoli mluvil Hospodin k Manassesovi a k lidu jeho, oni však nepozorovali.
Yahweh spoke to Manasseh and the people of Judah, but they paid no attention.
11 Pročež přivedl na ně Hospodin hejtmany vojska krále Assyrského, kteříž jali Manassesa v trní, a svázavše ho dvěma řetězy ocelivými, dovedli jej do Babylona.
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 Tam pak jsa sevřín, modlil se Hospodinu Bohu svému, a ponižoval se velmi před oblíčejem Boha otců svých,
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 A modlil se jemu. I naklonil se k němu, a vyslyšel modlitbu jeho, a uvedl jej zase do Jeruzaléma do království jeho. Tehdy poznal Manasses, že sám Hospodin jest Bohem.
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 A potom vystavěl zed zevnitřní města Davidova k západní straně Gihonu potoku, až kudy se chodí k bráně rybné, a obehnal Ofel, a vyhnal ji velmi vysoko. Rozsadil také hejtmany vojska po všech městech hrazených v Judstvu.
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 Vymetal také bohy cizí a rytinu z domu Hospodinova, a všecky oltáře, kterýchž byl nadělal na hoře domu Hospodinova i v Jeruzalémě, a vyházel za město.
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 Opravil zase i oltář Hospodinův, a obětoval na něm oběti pokojné a díkčinění, a přikázal Judským, aby sloužili Hospodinu Bohu Izraelskému.
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 A však vždy ještě lid obětoval na výsostech, ale toliko Hospodinu Bohu svému.
The people continued to offer sacrifices on the hilltops, but only to Yahweh their God.
18 Jiné pak věci Manassesovy, i modlitba jeho k Bohu jeho, a slova proroků, kteříž mluvívali k němu ve jménu Hospodina Boha Izraelského, to vše zapsáno v knize o králích Izraelských.
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 Modlitba pak jeho i to, že vyslyšán jest, a každý hřích jeho, i přestoupení jeho, i místa, na kterýchž byl postavil výsosti, a zdělal háje a rytiny, ještě prvé než se pokořil, to vše zapsáno jest v knihách Chozai.
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 I usnul Manasses s otci svými, a pochovali jej v domě jeho, a kraloval Amon syn jeho místo něho.
Manasseh died and was buried in his palace. Then his son Amon became the king [of Judah].
21 Ve dvamecítma letech byl Amon, když počal kralovati, a dvě létě kraloval v Jeruzalémě.
Amon was 22 years old when he became king, and he ruled in Jerusalem for two years.
22 I činil to, což jest zlého před očima Hospodinovýma, tak jako byl činil Manasses otec jeho; nebo všechněm rytinám, kterýchž byl nadělal Manasses otec jeho, obětoval Amon a sloužil jim.
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 Aniž se ponížil před Hospodinem, jako se ponížil Manasses otec jeho, nýbrž on Amon mnohem více hřešil.
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 Spuntovali se pak proti němu služebníci jeho, a zamordovali jej v domě jeho.
Then Amon’s officials made plans to kill him. They assassinated him in his palace.
25 Tedy pobil lid země všecky ty, kteříž se byli spuntovali proti králi Amonovi, a ustanovil lid země krále Joziáše syna jeho místo něho.
But then the people of Judah killed all those who had assassinated Amon, and they appointed his son Josiah to be their king.
