< 2 Kings 21 >
1 Manasseh was twelve years old when he became king; for fifty-five years he was ruling in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Hephzi-bah.
Manase te gen douzan lè li moute wa peyi Jida. Li gouvènen nan lavil Jerizalèm pandan senkannsenkan. Manman l' te rele Efziba.
2 He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, copying the disgusting ways of those nations whom the Lord had sent out before the children of Israel.
Li fè sa ki mal devan Seyè a, dapre vye prensip krimenèl lòt nasyon Seyè a te mete deyò pou fè plas pou moun pèp Izrayèl yo.
3 He put up again the high places which had been pulled down by Hezekiah his father; he made altars for Baal, and an Asherah, as Ahab, king of Israel, had done; he was a worshipper and servant of all the stars of heaven.
Li rebati tanp bondye lòt nasyon Ezekyas, papa l', te fè kraze. Li bati lotèl pou Baal, li fè fè yon estati Achera, tankou sa Akab, wa peyi Izrayèl la, te fè fè a. Lèfini, li adore dènye zetwal ki nan syèl la, li fè sèvis pou yo.
4 And he put up altars in the house of the Lord, of which the Lord had said, In Jerusalem will I put my name.
Li menm rive bati lotèl pou zidòl anndan Tanp Seyè a, kote Seyè a te di se la l'ap rete lavil Jerizalèm.
5 And he put up altars for all the stars of heaven in the two outer squares of the house of the Lord.
Li fè bati lotèl nan de lakou tanp lan pou tout zetwal ki nan syèl la.
6 And he made his son go through the fire, and made use of secret arts and signs for reading the future; he 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.
Li bay pitit gason l' pou yo boule sou lotèl pou zidòl yo. Li lage kò l' nan li nwaj nan syèl la ak nan fè maji pou konnen sa ki gen pou rive, li ankouraje divinò yo ak moun ki konn rele mò pou pale ak yo. Li donnen nan fè sa ki mal nan je Seyè a pou l' te fè l' move jouk li pa kapab ankò.
7 He put the image of Asherah which he had made in the house of which the Lord 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, I will put my name for ever.
Li te fè yon estati Achera, zidòl fanm lan, li mete l' nan Tanp lan, atout Seyè a te pale ak David ansanm ak Salomon sou Tanp lan. Li te di yo: Se isit lavil Jerizalèm, nan Tanp kote mwen te chwazi nan tout peyi douz branch fanmi pèp Izrayèl la, pou yo fè sèvis pou mwen.
8 And never again will I send the feet of Israel wandering from the land which I gave to their fathers; if only they will take care to do all my orders, and keep all the law which my servant Moses gave them.
Si moun pèp Izrayèl yo viv jan mwen mande yo viv la, si yo fè tou sa ki nan lalwa Moyiz, sèvitè m' lan, te ba yo a, mwen p'ap mete yo deyò nan peyi mwen te bay zansèt yo a.
9 But they did not give ear; and Manasseh made them do more evil than those nations did, whom the Lord gave up to destruction before the children of Israel.
Men moun peyi Jida yo pa koute Seyè a, Manase pran tèt yo, yo fè pi mal pase nasyon Seyè a te mete deyò nan peyi a pou fè plas pou yo.
10 And the Lord said, by his servants the prophets,
Lè sa a, Seyè a voye sèvitè l' yo, pwofèt yo, pou di yo:
11 Because Manasseh, king of Judah, has done these disgusting things, doing more evil than all the Amorites before him, and making Judah do evil with his false gods,
—Wa Manase te fè tout bagay degoutan sa yo. Li te fè pi mal pase moun Amori yo ki te la nan peyi a anvan yo. Avèk tout vye zidòl li yo, li fè pèp Jida a tonbe nan fè sa ki mal.
12 For this cause, says the Lord, the God of Israel, I will send such evil on Jerusalem and Judah that the ears of all to whom the news comes will be burning.
Se poutèt sa, men sa mwen menm, Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, mwen di: Mwen pral voye yon sèl malè sou lavil Jerizalèm ak sou peyi Jida a. Lè moun va pran nouvèl la, y'ap rete gaga.
13 And over Jerusalem will be stretched the line of Samaria and the weight of Ahab; Jerusalem will be washed clean as a plate is washed, and turned over on its face.
M'ap peni lavil Jerizalèm menm jan mwen te peni lavil Samari ak fanmi wa Akaz la. Mwen pral netwaye lavil Jerizalèm tankou yo netwaye yon asyèt lèfini yo vire l' bouch anba.
14 And I will put away from me the rest of my heritage, and give them up into the hands of their haters, who will take their property and their goods for themselves;
M'ap vire do bay rès moun ki va chape yo, m'ap lage yo nan men lènmi yo ki pral piye yo, ki pral pran peyi a nan men yo.
15 Because they have done evil in my eyes, moving me to wrath, from the day when their fathers came out of Egypt till this day.
M'ap fè pèp mwen an sa paske yo fè sa ki mal devan m', yo fè m' fache anpil depi jou zansèt yo te soti kite peyi Lejip jouk jounen jòdi a.
16 More than this, Manasseh took the lives of upright men, till Jerusalem from one end to the other was full of blood; in addition to his sin in making Judah do evil in the eyes of the Lord.
Manase pa sèlman lakòz pèp Jida a fè sa li pa t' dwe fè avèk tou sa li menm li t'ap fè ki mal nan je Seyè a, li fè pi rèd toujou. Li sitèlman touye moun inonsan, tout lari lavil Jerizalèm te plen san.
17 Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and all he did, and his sins, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Judah?
Tout rès istwa Manase a, tou sa li te fè ak tout move zak li te fè yo, n'a jwenn tou sa ekri nan liv Istwa wa peyi Jida yo.
18 So Manasseh went to rest with his fathers, and was put into the earth in the garden of his house, in the garden of Uzza; and Amon his son became king in his place.
Lè Manase mouri, yo antere l' nan jaden palè a, jaden Ouza a. Se Amon, pitit gason l' lan, ki moute wa nan plas li.
19 Amon was twenty-two years old when he became king, ruling in Jerusalem for two years; his mother's name was Meshullemeth, the daughter of Haruz of Jotbah.
Amon te gen venndezan lè li moute wa peyi Jida. Li gouvènen lavil Jerizalèm pandan dezan. Manman l' te rele Mechoulemèt. Se te pitit fi Awouz, yon moun lavil Jotba.
20 He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, as Manasseh his father had done.
Tankou Manase, papa l', li fè sa ki mal devan Seyè a.
21 He went in all the ways of his father, being a servant and worshipper of the false gods to which his father had been a servant;
Li mache pye pou pye dèyè Manase nan tout bagay. Li sèvi zidòl papa l' te sèvi yo, li adore yo.
22 Turning away from the Lord, the God of his fathers, and not walking in his ways.
Li vire do bay Seyè a, Bondye zansèt li yo, li pa mache jan Seyè a vle l' la.
23 And the servants of Amon made a secret design against him, and put the king to death in his house.
Chèf ki t'ap sèvi avèk Amon yo fè konplo, yo touye l' anndan palè a.
24 But the people of the land put to death all those who had taken part in the design against the king, and made Josiah his son king in his place.
Moun pèp Jida yo touye mesye ki te fè konplo pou touye Amon yo, yo mete Jozyas, pitit gason l' lan, wa nan plas li.
25 Now the rest of the acts which Amon did, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Judah?
Tout rès istwa Amon an, tou sa li te fè, n'a jwenn tou sa ekri nan liv Istwa wa peyi Jida yo.
26 He was put in his last resting-place in the garden of Uzza, and Josiah his son became king in his place.
Lè Amon mouri, yo antere l' nan kavo fanmi an, nan jaden Ouza a. Lèfini, se Jozyas, pitit gason l' lan, ki moute wa nan plas li.
