2 Chronicles 33
1 Manasseh was twelve years old when he became king, and he was ruling for fifty-five years in Jerusalem.
Manasye berumur dua belas tahun pada waktu ia menjadi raja dan lima puluh lima tahun lamanya ia memerintah di Yerusalem.
2 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.
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 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;
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 And he made altars in the house of the Lord, of which the Lord had said, In Jerusalem will my name be for ever.
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 And he made altars for all the stars of heaven in the two outer squares of the house of the Lord.
Dan ia mendirikan juga mezbah-mezbah bagi segenap tentara langit di kedua pelataran rumah TUHAN.
6 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.
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 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:
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 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.
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 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.
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 word of the Lord came to Manasseh and his people, but they gave no attention.
Kemudian berfirmanlah TUHAN kepada Manasye dan rakyatnya, tetapi mereka tidak menghiraukannya.
11 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.
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 crying out to the Lord his God in his trouble, he made himself low 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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
Ia menegakkan kembali mezbah TUHAN, mempersembahkan korban keselamatan dan korban syukur di atasnya, menyerukan kepada Yehuda untuk beribadah kepada TUHAN, Allah Israel.
17 However, the people still made offerings in 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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 was ruling for two years in Jerusalem.
Amon berumur dua puluh dua tahun pada waktu ia menjadi raja dan dua tahun lamanya ia memerintah di Yerusalem.
22 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.
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 He did not make himself low before the Lord, as his father Manasseh had done, but went on sinning more and more.
Tetapi ia tidak merendahkan diri di hadapan TUHAN seperti Manasye, ayahnya, merendahkan diri, malah Amon makin banyak kesalahannya.
24 And his servants made a secret design against him, and put him to death in his house.
Maka pegawai-pegawainya mengadakan persepakatan melawan dia, dan membunuhnya di istananya.
25 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.
Tetapi rakyat negeri itu membunuh semua orang yang mengadakan persepakatan melawan raja Amon; dan rakyat negeri itu mengangkat Yosia, anaknya, menjadi raja menggantikan dia.
