2 Chronicles 33
1 Manasseh was twelve years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem fifty-five years.
Manasye berumur dua belas tahun pada waktu ia menjadi raja dan lima puluh lima tahun lamanya ia memerintah di Yerusalem.
2 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.
Ia melakukan apa yang jahat di mata TUHAN, sesuai dengan perbuatan keji bangsa-bangsa yang telah dihalaukan TUHAN dari depan orang Israel.
3 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.
Ia mendirikan kembali bukit-bukit pengorbanan yang telah dirobohkan oleh Hizkia, ayahnya; ia membangun mezbah-mezbah untuk para Baal, membuat patung-patung Asyera dan sujud menyembah kepada segenap tentara langit dan beribadah kepadanya.
4 Manasseh also built altars in the house of the LORD, of which the LORD had said, “My Name will remain in Jerusalem forever.”
Ia mendirikan mezbah-mezbah di rumah TUHAN, walaupun sehubungan dengan rumah itu TUHAN telah berfirman: "Di Yerusalem nama-Ku akan tinggal untuk selama-lamanya!"
5 In both courtyards of the house of the LORD, he built altars to all the host of heaven.
Dan ia mendirikan juga mezbah-mezbah bagi segenap tentara langit di kedua pelataran rumah TUHAN.
6 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.
Bahkan, ia mempersembahkan anak-anaknya sebagai korban dalam api di Lebak Ben-Hinom; ia melakukan ramal, telaah dan sihir, dan menghubungi para pemanggil arwah dan para pemanggil roh peramal. Ia melakukan banyak yang jahat di mata TUHAN, sehingga ia menimbulkan sakit hati-Nya.
7 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.
Ia menaruh juga patung berhala yang telah dibuatnya dalam rumah Allah, walaupun Allah telah berfirman kepada Daud dan kepada Salomo, anaknya: "Dalam rumah ini dan di Yerusalem, yang telah Kupilih dari antara segala suku Israel, Aku akan menaruh nama-Ku untuk selama-lamanya!
8 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.”
Aku tidak akan membuat pula orang Israel berjejak ke luar dari tanah yang telah Kutentukan untuk nenek moyangmu, asal saja mereka melakukan dengan setia segala yang telah Kuperintahkan kepada mereka dengan perantaraan Musa, yakni segala hukum, ketetapan dan peraturan."
9 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.
Tetapi Manasye menyesatkan Yehuda dan penduduk Yerusalem, sehingga mereka melakukan yang jahat lebih dari pada bangsa-bangsa yang telah dipunahkan TUHAN dari depan orang Israel.
10 And the LORD spoke to Manasseh and his people, but they did not listen.
Kemudian berfirmanlah TUHAN kepada Manasye dan rakyatnya, tetapi mereka tidak menghiraukannya.
11 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.
Oleh sebab itu TUHAN mendatangkan kepada mereka panglima-panglima tentara raja Asyur yang menangkap Manasye dengan kaitan, membelenggunya dengan rantai tembaga dan membawanya ke Babel.
12 And in his distress, Manasseh sought the favor of the LORD his God and earnestly humbled himself before the God of his fathers.
Dalam keadaan yang terdesak ini, ia berusaha melunakkan hati TUHAN, Allahnya; ia sangat merendahkan diri di hadapan Allah nenek moyangnya,
13 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.
dan berdoa kepada-Nya. Maka TUHAN mengabulkan doanya, dan mendengarkan permohonannya. Ia membawanya kembali ke Yerusalem dan memulihkan kedudukannya sebagai raja. Dan Manasye mengakui, bahwa TUHAN itu Allah.
14 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.
Kemudian ia mendirikan tembok luar pada kota Daud, di sebelah Barat Gihon, di lembah, sampai dekat Pintu Gerbang Ikan, mengelilingi Ofel. Tembok itu dibuatnya sangat tinggi. Ia menempatkan juga panglima-panglima perang di tiap kota kubu di Yehuda.
15 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.
Ia menjauhkan allah-allah asing dan berhala dari rumah TUHAN, juga segala mezbah yang didirikannya di atas gunung rumah TUHAN dan di Yerusalem, dan membuangnya ke luar kota.
16 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.
Ia menegakkan kembali mezbah TUHAN, mempersembahkan korban keselamatan dan korban syukur di atasnya, menyerukan kepada Yehuda untuk beribadah kepada TUHAN, Allah Israel.
17 Nevertheless, the people still sacrificed at the high places, but only to the LORD their God.
Walaupun demikian, rakyat masih mempersembahkan korban di bukit-bukit pengorbanan, tetapi hanya kepada TUHAN, Allah mereka.
18 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.
Selebihnya dari riwayat Manasye, doanya kepada Allahnya, dan ucapan-ucapan para pelihat yang berkata-kata kepadanya dengan nama TUHAN, Allah Israel, sesungguhnya semuanya itu terdapat dalam riwayat raja-raja Israel.
19 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.
Doanya dan pengabulan doanya, segala dosa dan ketidaksetiaannya, semua tempat di mana ia telah membangun bukit-bukit pengorbanan serta mendirikan tiang-tiang berhala dan patung-patung sebelum ia merendahkan diri, sesungguhnya semuanya itu tertulis dalam riwayat para pelihat.
20 And Manasseh rested with his fathers and was buried at his palace. And his son Amon reigned in his place.
Kemudian Manasye mendapat perhentian bersama-sama dengan nenek moyangnya, dan ia dikuburkan di dalam istananya. Maka Amon, anaknya, menjadi raja menggantikan dia.
21 Amon was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem two years.
Amon berumur dua puluh dua tahun pada waktu ia menjadi raja dan dua tahun lamanya ia memerintah di Yerusalem.
22 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,
Ia melakukan apa yang jahat di mata TUHAN seperti yang telah dilakukan Manasye, ayahnya. Amon mempersembahkan korban kepada segala patung yang dibuat Manasye, ayahnya, dan beribadah kepada patung-patung itu.
23 but he did not humble himself before the LORD as his father Manasseh had done; instead, Amon increased his guilt.
Tetapi ia tidak merendahkan diri di hadapan TUHAN seperti Manasye, ayahnya, merendahkan diri, malah Amon makin banyak kesalahannya.
24 Then the servants of Amon conspired against him and killed him in his palace.
Maka pegawai-pegawainya mengadakan persepakatan melawan dia, dan membunuhnya di istananya.
25 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.
Tetapi rakyat negeri itu membunuh semua orang yang mengadakan persepakatan melawan raja Amon; dan rakyat negeri itu mengangkat Yosia, anaknya, menjadi raja menggantikan dia.
