2 Chronicles 33
1 Manasseh was twelve years old when he became king, and he was ruling for fifty-five years in Jerusalem.
Manasés tenía 12 años cuando comenzó a reinar, y reinó 55 años en Jerusalén.
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.
Hizo lo malo ante los ojos de Yavé, en conformidad con las repugnancias de las naciones que Yavé expulsó de delante de los hijos de 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;
Pues él reedificó los lugares altos que su padre Ezequías destruyó, levantó altares a los baales, hizo Aseras, se postró ante toda la hueste del cielo y les sirvió.
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.
Edificó altares en la Casa de Yavé, de la cual Yavé dijo: En Jerusalén permanecerá mi Nombre para siempre.
5 And he made altars for all the stars of heaven in the two outer squares of the house of the Lord.
También edificó altares a toda la hueste del cielo en los dos patios de la Casa de Yavé.
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.
Ordenó pasar a sus hijos por el fuego en el valle del hijo de Hinom. Practicó la magia, la brujería y la hechicería, evocó a espíritus de muertos y practicó el espiritismo. Abundó en hacer lo malo ante Yavé y lo provocó a ira.
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:
Además puso la imagen tallada del ídolo que hizo en la Casa de ʼElohim, de la cual ʼElohim dijo a David y su hijo Salomón: En esta Casa y en Jerusalén, la cual Yo escogí entre todas las tribus de Israel, estará mi Nombre para siempre.
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.
No volveré a quitar el pie de Israel de la tierra que di a sus antepasados, con tal que se cuiden de practicar todo lo que les ordené por medio de Moisés con respecto a toda la Ley, los Estatutos y las Ordenanzas.
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.
Pero Manasés indujo a Judá y a los habitantes de Jerusalén a proceder peor que las naciones que Yavé destruyó ante los hijos de Israel.
10 And the word of the Lord came to Manasseh and his people, but they gave no attention.
Yavé habló a Manasés y a su pueblo, pero ellos no escucharon.
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.
Por tanto, Yavé llevó contra ellos a los jefes del ejército del rey de Asiria, quienes encadenaron con grillos de bronce a Manasés y lo llevaron a Babilonia.
12 And crying out to the Lord his God in his trouble, he made himself low before the God of his fathers,
Cuando estaba en angustia, oró a Yavé su ʼElohim y se humilló grandemente ante el ʼElohim de sus antepasados.
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.
Cuando [Manasés] oró, Él fue movido por la súplica, escuchó su clamor y lo devolvió a Jerusalén, a su reino. Y Manasés reconoció que solo Yavé es ʼElohim.
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.
Después de esto, construyó el muro exterior de la Ciudad de David, en el valle al occidente de Gihón, y hasta la entrada de la puerta de los Peces, alrededor de Ofel. Elevó el muro a gran altura y colocó jefes del ejército en todas las ciudades fortificadas de Judá.
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.
Quitó los ʼelohim extraños, el ídolo de la Casa de Yavé y todos los altares que construyó en la Montaña de la Casa de Yavé y en Jerusalén. Los echó fuera de la ciudad.
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.
Después reconstruyó el altar de Yavé y ofreció en él sacrificios de paz y de gratitud. Ordenó a Judá que sirviera a Yavé, el ʼElohim de Israel.
17 However, the people still made offerings in the high places, but only to the Lord their God.
Sin embargo, el pueblo siguió ofreciendo sacrificios en los lugares altos, aunque solo a Yavé su ʼElohim.
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.
Los demás hechos de Manasés, sus súplicas a su ʼElohim y las Palabras de los videntes que le hablaron en Nombre de Yavé ʼElohim de Israel, ciertamente están escritos en las crónicas de los Reyes de 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.
Su oración y cómo fue atendido, todo su pecado, su infidelidad y los sitios donde edificó lugares altos y erigió Aseras y otras imágenes talladas antes de humillarse, ciertamente están escritos en las crónicas de los videntes.
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.
Manasés descansó con sus antepasados y lo sepultaron en su propia casa. Su hijo Amón reinó en su lugar.
21 Amon was twenty-two years old when he became king; and he was ruling for two years in Jerusalem.
Amón tenía 22 años cuando comenzó a reinar, y reinó dos años en Jerusalén.
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.
Practicó lo malo ante Yavé, como su padre Manasés, pues Amón ofreció sacrificios a todos los ídolos de talla que su padre Manasés estableció, y les sirvió.
23 He did not make himself low before the Lord, as his father Manasseh had done, but went on sinning more and more.
Pero no se humilló delante de Yavé como se humilló su padre Manasés, sino Amón aumentó su culpa.
24 And his servants made a secret design against him, and put him to death in his house.
Sus esclavos conspiraron contra él y lo asesinaron en su propia casa.
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.
Pero el pueblo de la tierra mató a todos los que conspiraron contra el rey Amón y proclamó a su hijo Josías como rey.
