2 Kings 21
1 Manasseh was twelve years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for fifty-five years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Hephzibah.
Manassé te gen laj douzan lè l te devni wa a e li te renye senkann-senk ane Jérusalem. Manman li te rele Hephtsiba.
2 And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, in accord with the idols of the nations that the Lord destroyed before the face of the sons of Israel.
Li te fè mal nan zye SENYÈ a, selon tout abominasyon a nasyon ke SENYÈ a te rache devan fis Israël yo.
3 And he turned away. And he built up the high places that his father, Hezekiah, had destroyed. And he erected altars to Baal, and he made sacred groves, just as Ahab, the king of Israel, had done. And he adored the entire army of heaven, and he served them.
Paske li te rebati wo plas ke Ézéchias te detwi yo, epi li te monte lotèl pou Baal yo, e li te fè yon Astarté, jan Achab, wa Israël la te fè pou te adore tout lame syèl la e te sèvi yo.
4 And he constructed altars in the house of the Lord, about which the Lord said: “In Jerusalem, I will place my name.”
Li te bati lotèl lakay SENYÈ a, sou sila SENYÈ a te di: “Nan Jérusalem, Mwen va mete non Mwen.”
5 And he constructed altars, for the entire army of heaven, within the two courts of the temple of the Lord.
Li te bati lotèl pou tout lame syèl la nan de lakou lakay SENYÈ a.
6 And he led his son through fire. And he used divinations, and observed omens, and appointed soothsayers, and multiplied diviners, so that he did evil before the Lord, and provoked him.
Li te fè fis li yo pase nan dife, pratike maji e sèvi divinasyon. Li te sèvi moun ki pale ak mò ansanm ak lespri. Li te fè anpil mal nan zye SENYÈ a ki te pwovoke Li a lakòlè.
7 Also, he set up an idol, of the sacred grove that he had made, in the temple of the Lord, about which the Lord said to David, and to his son Solomon: “In this temple, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, I will place my name forever.
Anplis, li te plase imaj a Astarté ke li te fè a, nan kay ke SENYÈ a te di a David avèk fis li a, Salomon: “Nan kay sila a ak Jérusalem nan, ke Mwen te chwazi soti nan tout tribi Israël yo, Mwen va mete non Mwen jis pou tout tan.
8 And I will no longer cause the feet of Israel to be moved from the land that I gave to their fathers: if only they will take care to do all that I have instructed them, and the entire law that my servant Moses commanded to them.”
Epi mwen p ap fè pye Israël mache egare ankò deyò peyi ke m te bay a zansèt yo a, si sèlman, yo va obsève pou fè selon tout sa ke M te kòmande yo, selon tout lalwa ke sèvitè Mwen an, Moïse te kòmande yo.”
9 Yet truly, they did not listen. Instead, they were seduced by Manasseh, so that they did evil, more so than the nations that the Lord crushed before the face of the sons of Israel.
Men yo pa t koute e Manassé te sedwi yo pou fè mal plis ke nasyon ke SENYÈ a te detwi devan fis Israël yo.
10 And so the Lord spoke, by the hand of his servants, the prophets, saying:
Alò, SENYÈ a te pale pa sèvitè yo, pwofèt yo, e te di:
11 “Since Manasseh, the king of Judah, has committed these wicked abominations, beyond all that the Amorites before him have done, and also has caused Judah to sin by his defilements,
“Akoz Manassé, wa Juda a, te fè abominasyon sila yo, e te fè plis mechanste pase tout Amoreyen ki te avan li yo, e anplis, li te fè Juda peche avèk zidòl pa li yo;
12 because of this, thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Behold, I will lead evils over Jerusalem and over Judah, such that, whoever will hear of these things, both his ears will ring.
pou sa, konsa pale SENYÈ, Bondye Israël la: ‘Gade byen, Mwen ap mennen yon tèlman gwo twoub sou Jérusalem avèk Juda, pou nenpòt moun ki tande koz li, toude zòrèy li va sonnen avèk sezisman.
13 And I will extend the measuring line of Samaria over Jerusalem, with the scale of the house of Ahab. And I will erase Jerusalem, just as writing tablets are usually erased. And after erasing, I will turn it and repeatedly drag a stylus over its surface.
Mwen va fè lonje sou Jérusalem lizyè Samarie a, avèk fil aplon kay Achab la, e Mwen va siye Jérusalem jan yon moun ta siye yon plato. Konsa m ap siye li e vire li tèt anba.
14 And truly, I will send away the remnants of my inheritance, and I will deliver them into the hands of their enemies. And they will be devastated and plundered by all their adversaries.
Mwen va abandone retay eritaj Mwen an e Mwen va livre yo nan men a lènmi yo. Yo va vin piyaje e depouye pa tout lènmi yo,
15 For they have done evil before me, and they have persevered in provoking me, from the day when their fathers departed from Egypt, even to this day.
akoz yo te fè mal devan zye Mwen e te pwovoke Mwen a lakòlè soti jou ke zansèt pa yo te sòti an Égypte la, menm rive jodi a.’”
16 Moreover, Manasseh also has shed an exceedingly great amount of innocent blood, until he filled Jerusalem even to the mouth, aside from his sins by which he caused Judah to sin, so that they did evil before the Lord.”
Anplis, Manassé te vèse san inosan jiskaske li te ranpli Jérusalem soti nan yon bout jis rive nan yon lòt. Li te fè sa, anplis, peche pa li avèk sila li te fè Juda peche nan fè mal devan zye SENYÈ a.
17 Now the rest of the words of Manasseh, and all that he did, and his sin that he sinned, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah?
Alò, tout lòt zèv a Manassé yo avèk tout sa ke li te fè ak peche ke li te komèt yo, èske yo pa ekri nan Liv Kwonik A Wa Juda Yo?
18 And Manasseh slept with his fathers, and he was buried in the garden of his own house, in the garden of Uzza. And Amon, his son, reigned in his place.
Konsa, Manassé te dòmi avèk zansèt pa li yo e te antere nan jaden lakay li, nan jaden Uzza a. Epi Amon, fis li a, te devni wa nan plas li.
19 Amon was twenty-two years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for two years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Meshullemeth, the daughter of Haruz, from Jotbah.
Amon te gen venn-dezan lè l te devni wa e li te renye dezan Jérusalem. Manman li te rele Meschullémeth, fi a Haruts la, nan Jotba.
20 And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, just as his father, Manasseh, had done.
Li te fè mal nan zye a SENYÈ a, jan Manassé, papa li te konn fè a.
21 And he walked in all the ways in which his father had walked. And he served the unclean things that his father had served, and he adored them.
Paske li te mache nan tout chemen ke papa li te konn mache yo, e li te sèvi zidòl ke papa li te konn sèvi, e te adore yo.
22 And he abandoned the Lord, the God of his fathers, and he did not walk in the way of the Lord.
Konsa, li te abandone SENYÈ a, Bondye a zansèt li yo, e li pa t mache nan chemen SENYÈ a.
23 And his servants undertook treachery against him. And they killed the king in his own house.
Sèvitè a Amon yo te fè konplo kont li e yo te touye wa a nan pwòp kay li.
24 But the people of the land slew all those who had conspired against king Amon. And they appointed for themselves Josiah, his son, as king in his place.
Alò, pèp peyi a te touye tout sila ki te fè konplo kont Wa Amon yo, e pèp peyi a te fè Josias, fis li a, wa nan plas li.
25 But the rest of the words of Amon, which he did, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah?
Alò, tout lòt zèv ke Amon te fè yo, èske yo pa ekri nan Liv Kwonik A Wa Juda Yo?
26 And they buried him in his sepulcher, in the garden of Uzza. And his son, Josiah, reigned in his place.
Li te antere nan tonm pa li nan jaden Uzza a e Josias, fis li a, te devni Wa nan plas li.
