2 Chronicles 33
1 Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign; and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem.
Tolv år gamall var Manasse då han vart konge, og fem og femti år styrde han i Jerusalem.
2 And he did evil in the sight of Jehovah, like the abominations of the nations that Jehovah had dispossessed from before the children of Israel.
Han gjorde det som vondt var i Herrens augo, etter den avstyggjelege seden hjå dei folki som Herren hadde rudt ut for Israels-borni.
3 And he built again the high places that Hezekiah his father had broken down; and he reared up altars to the Baals, and made Asherahs, and worshipped all the host of heaven and served them.
Han bygde upp att offerhaugarne som Hizkia, far hans, hadde rive ned, og sette upp altari for Ba’als-gudarne og gjorde Astarte-bilæte og kasta seg ned for og tente heile himmelheren.
4 And he built altars in the house of Jehovah, of which Jehovah had said, In Jerusalem shall my name be for ever.
Og han bygde altar i Herrens hus, endå Herren hadde sagt: «I Jerusalem skal namnet mitt vera æveleg.»
5 And he built altars to all the host of heaven in both courts of the house of Jehovah.
Og han bygde altar for heile himmelheren i båe tuni kring Herrens hus.
6 He also caused his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom; and he used magic and divination and sorcery, and appointed necromancers and soothsayers: he wrought evil beyond measure in the sight of Jehovah, to provoke him to anger.
Han vigde sønerne sine i elden i Hinnomssons-dalen og for med spådom og trolldom og runing og fekk seg tinga folk til å mana draugar og spåvette; han gjorde mykje som vondt var i Herrens augo og harma honom.
7 And he set the graven image of the idol that he had made, in the house of God, of which God had said to David and to Solomon his son, In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, will I put my name for ever;
Og avgudsbilætet som han hadde gjort, sette han upp i Guds hus, som Gud hadde sagt um til David og Salomo, son hans: «Til dette huset og til Jerusalem, som eg hev valt ut millom alle Israels ætter, vil eg festa namnet mitt i all æva.
8 neither will I any more remove the foot of Israel from out of the land that I have appointed to your fathers; if they will only take heed to do all that I commanded them through Moses, according to all the law and the statutes and the ordinances.
Og eg vil ikkje meir lata Israel fara burt ifrå det landet som eg etla åt federne dykkar, berre dei agtar på å halda alt det som eg hev bode deim, etter heile lovi og bodi og rettarne som dei fekk ved Moses.»
9 And Manasseh led Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem astray, to do more evil than the nations that Jehovah had destroyed from before the children of Israel.
Men Manasse førde Juda og Jerusalems-buarne til å stella seg verre enn dei folki som Herren hadde øydt ut for Israels-borni.
10 And Jehovah spoke to Manasseh and to his people; but they did not hearken.
Då tala Herren til Manasse og folket hans, men dei agta ikkje på det.
11 And Jehovah brought upon them the captains of the host of the king of Assyria, who took Manasseh with fetters, and bound him with chains of brass, and carried him to Babylon.
So let Herren herførarne åt assyrarkongen koma yver deim, og dei fanga Manasse med krokar, lagde honom i koparlekkjor og førde honom til Babel.
12 And when he was in affliction, he besought Jehovah his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers,
Men då han var i naud, bad han Herren, sin Gud, um nåde, og han audmykte seg djupt for fedreguden sin.
13 and prayed to him. And he was intreated of him and heard his supplication, and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that Jehovah, he was God.
Og då han bad til honom, let han seg blidka og høyrde bøni hans og førde honom attende til Jerusalem til kongedømet hans. Då kom Manasse i hug at Herren er Gud.
14 And after this he built the outer wall of the city of David, on the west, toward Gihon, in the valley, even to the entrance of the fish-gate, and carried it round Ophel, and raised it up a very great height; and he put captains of war in all the fortified cities of Judah.
Sidan bygde han ein ytre mur for Davidsstaden vestanfor Gihon i dalen og burt imot Fiskeporten, so han gjekk ikring Ofel; og gjorde honom svært høg. I alle borgbyarne i Juda sette han herførarar.
15 And he removed the strange gods, and the idol out of the house of Jehovah, and all the altars that he had built on the mount of the house of Jehovah and in Jerusalem, and cast [them] out of the city.
Han førde burt dei framande gudarne og avgudsbilætet ifrå Herrens hus og alle dei altari som han hadde bygt på det berget der Herrens hus stod og i Jerusalem, og han kasta deim utanfor byen.
16 And he reinstated the altar of Jehovah, and sacrificed on it peace-offerings and thank-offerings, and commanded Judah to serve Jehovah the God of Israel.
Derimot reiste upp att Herrens altar, og han ofra takkoffer og lovoffer på det; og han baud Juda at dei skulde tena Herren, Israels Gud.
17 Nevertheless, the people sacrificed still on the high places, although to Jehovah their God only.
Men folket heldt ved med å ofra på offerhaugarne, men einast til Herren, deira Gud.
18 And the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and his prayer to his God, and the words of the seers that spoke to him in the name of Jehovah the God of Israel, behold, they [are written] in the acts of the kings of Israel.
Det som elles er å fortelja um Manasse, um bøni hans til sin Gud og ordi åt dei sjåarane som tala til honom i namnet åt Herren, Israels Gud, det er uppskrive i krønikeboki åt Israels-kongarne.
19 And his prayer, and [how God] was intreated of him, and all his sin and his unfaithfulness, and the places in which he built high places, and set up Asherahs and graven images, before he was humbled, behold, they are written among the words of Hozai.
Og um bøni hans, og korleis han vart bønhøyrd, og heile syndi og utruskapen hans og dei staderne der han bygde upp offerhaugar og sette upp Astarte-stolparne og avgudsbilæti fyrr han audmykte seg, det er uppskrive i krønikeboki åt Hozai.
20 And Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they buried him in his own house; and Amon his son reigned in his stead.
Og Manasse lagde seg til kvile hjå federne sine, og dei gravlagde honom ved huset hans, og Amon, son hans, vart konge i staden hans.
21 Amon was twenty-two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned two years in Jerusalem.
Tvo og tjuge år gamall var Amon då han vart konge, og tvo år styrde han i Jerusalem.
22 And he did evil in the sight of Jehovah, as Manasseh his father had done; and Amon sacrificed to all the graven images that Manasseh his father had made, and served them.
Han gjorde det som vondt var i Herrens augo, liksom Manasse, far hans; og han ofra til alle dei bilæti som Manasse, far hans, hadde gjort, og han tente deim.
23 And he did not humble himself before Jehovah, as Manasseh his father had humbled himself; for he, Amon, multiplied trespass.
Han audmykte seg ikkje for Herrens åsyn, soleis som Manasse, far hans, gjorde, men han, Amon, leste på seg stor skuld.
24 And his servants conspired against him, and slew him in his own house.
Tenarane hans svor seg saman mot honom og drap honom i huset hans.
25 But the people of the land smote all them that had conspired against king Amon; and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his stead.
Men landsfolket drap alle deim som hadde svore seg saman imot kong Amon, og landsfolket tok Josia, son hans, til konge i staden hans.
