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.
Kotahi tekau ma rua nga tau o Manahi i tona kingitanga, a e rima tekau ma rima nga tau i kingi ai ia ki Hiruharama; a ko te ingoa o tona whaea ko Hepetipa.
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.
A he kino tana mahi ki te titiro a Ihowa, i rite tonu ki nga mea whakarihariha a nga tauiwi i peia nei e Ihowa i te aroaro o nga tama a Iharaira.
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.
I hanga ano hoki e ia nga wahi tiketike i whakakorea ra e Hetekia, e tona papa i whakaarahia ake ana e ia he aata ki a Paara, hanga ana e ia he Ahera, pera ana me ta Ahapa kingi o Iharaira i mea ai, a koropiko ana ki te ope katoa o te rangi, mahi ana ki a ratou.
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.
I hanga hoki e ia etahi aata ki te whare o Ihowa, ki ta Ihowa i ki ra, Ko Hiruharama hei waihotanga mo toku ingoa.
5 And he put up altars for all the stars of heaven in the two outer squares of the house of the Lord.
I hanga ano e ia etahi aata mo te ope katoa o te rangi ki nga marae e rua o te whare o Ihowa.
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.
A meatia ana e ia tana tama kia tika na waenganui i te ahi, rapua ana e ia he tohu i nga kapua, i nga nakahi, i whai hoki ia ki nga atua maori, ki nga mata maori; nui atu tana kino i mahi ai ki te titiro a Ihowa hei whakapataritari i a ia.
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.
A i whakaturia e ia he whakapakoko no Ahera, i mahia e ia ki te whare i ki ra a Ihowa ki a Rawiri raua ko tana tama ko Horomona, Hei tenei whare, hei Hiruharama i whiriwhiria nei e ahau i roto i nga iwi katoa o Iharaira ahau waiho ai i toku ingoa a ake ake.
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.
A heoi aku whakanekehanga i nga waewae o Iharaira i te whenua i hoatu e ahau ki o ratou matua: ki te mau raia ratou ki te mahi i nga mea katoa i whakahaua e ahau ki a ratou, kia rite ki te ture katoa i whakahaua e Mohi, e taku pononga ki a ratou.
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.
Otiia kihai ratou i rongo: i takina ketia ratou e Manahi kia nui atu ta ratou mahi kino i ta nga iwi i huna nei e Ihowa i te aroaro o nga tama a Iharaira.
10 And the Lord said, by his servants the prophets,
I korero ano a Ihowa, ara ana pononga, nga poropiti, i mea,
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,
Kua mahi nei a Manahi kingi o Hura i enei mea whakarihariha, kino atu tana i nga mea katoa i mea ai nga Amori i mua i a ia; a kua mea nei ia i a Hura kia hara ki ana whakapakoko;
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.
Mo reira ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, a te Atua o Iharaira, Tenei ahau te kawe nei i te kino ki Hiruharama raua ko Hura, e paorooro ai nga taringa e rua o nga tangata e rangona ai.
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.
Ka whakamarokia e ahau te aho o Hamaria ki runga ki Hiruharama, me te parameti o te whare o Ahapa; a ka horoia e ahau a Hiruharama, ka peratia me ta te tangata horoi i te rihi; horoia ana e ia, hurihia ana ko tua.
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;
A ka rukea atu e ahau te toenga o toku wahi tupu, ka hoatu ki nga ringa o o ratou hoariri; a hei taonga parau ratou, hei mea parakete ma o ratou hoariri katoa;
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.
Mo ratou i mahi i te kino ki taku titiro, i whakapataritari hoki i ahau, mai o te ra i puta mai ai o ratou matua i Ihipa a taea noatia tenei ra.
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.
I whakahekea ano hoki e Manahi he toto harakore, tona nui, a ki noa i a ia Hiruharama i tetahi pito ki tetahi; tapiritia ana tenei e ia ki tona hara i hara ai a Hura, i mea ai i te kino ki te titiro a Ihowa.
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?
Na, ko era atu meatanga a Manahi me ana mahi katoa, me tona hara i hara ai ia, kihai ianei ena i tuhituhia ki te pukapuka o nga meatanga o nga ra o nga kingi o Hura?
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.
Na ka moe a Manahi ki ona matua, a tanumia ana ki te kari o tona whare, ki te kari a Uha: a ko tana tama, ko Amono, te kingi i muri i a ia.
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.
E rua tekau ma rua nga tau o Amono i tona kingitanga, a e rua nga tau i kingi ai ia ki Hiruharama: a ko te ingoa o tona whaea ko Mehuremete, he tamahine na Harutu, no Iotopa.
20 He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, as Manasseh his father had done.
A he kino tana mahi ki te titiro a Ihowa, rite tonu tana mahi ki ta tona papa, ki ta Manahi.
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;
I haere hoki ia i nga ara katoa i haere ai tona papa, i mahi ki nga whakapakoko i mahi ai tona papa, a koropiko ana ia ki aua mea.
22 Turning away from the Lord, the God of his fathers, and not walking in his ways.
I whakarerea e ia a Ihowa, te Atua, o ona matua, kihai i haere i te ara o Ihowa.
23 And the servants of Amon made a secret design against him, and put the king to death in his house.
Na ka whakatupu nga tangata a Amono i te mate mona, a patua iho e ratou te kingi ki roto ano i tona whare.
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.
Otiia i patua e nga tangata o te whenua te hunga katoa nana i whakatupu te he mo Kingi Amono; a meinga ana e nga tangata o taua whenua a Hohia, tana tama, hei kingi i muri i a ia.
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?
Na, ko era atu meatanga i mea ai a Amono, kahore ianei i tuhituhia ki te pukapuka o nga meatanga o nga ra o nga kingi o Hura?
26 He was put in his last resting-place in the garden of Uzza, and Josiah his son became king in his place.
A i tanumia ia ki tona tanumanga ki te kari a Uha, a ko Hohia, ko tana tama, te kingi i muri i a ia.
