2 Kings 21
1 Manasseh was twelve when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for fifty-five years. His mother's name was Hephzibah.
Na rĩrĩ, Manase aarĩ wa mĩaka ikũmi na ĩĩrĩ rĩrĩa aatuĩkire mũthamaki, nake agĩathana arĩ Jerusalemu mĩaka mĩrongo ĩtano na ĩtano. Nyina eetagwo Hefiziba.
2 He did what was evil in the Lord's sight by following the disgusting pagan practices of the nations that the Lord had driven out before the Israelites.
Agĩĩka maũndũ mooru maitho-inĩ ma Jehova, akĩrũmĩrĩra mĩtugo ĩrĩ magigi ya ndũrĩrĩ iria Jehova aaingatĩte ciehere mbere ya Isiraeli.
3 He rebuilt the high places his father Hezekiah had destroyed, and he erected altars for Baal. He made an Asherah idol pole, just as Ahab, king of Israel, had done, and he worshiped and served the sun, moon, and stars.
Nĩaakire rĩngĩ kũndũ kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru, o kũrĩa ithe Hezekia aanangĩte; ningĩ agĩaka igongona cia Baali na agĩaka itugĩ cia Ashera, o ta ũrĩa Ahabu mũthamaki wa Isiraeli eekĩte. Nĩainamĩrĩire mbũtũ cia igũrũ ciothe na agĩcihooya.
4 He set up pagan altars in the Lord's Temple, right where the Lord had said, “I will place my name in Jerusalem forever.”
Agĩaka magongona thĩinĩ wa hekarũ ya Jehova, o ĩrĩa Jehova oigĩte ũhoro wayo atĩrĩ, “Thĩinĩ wa Jerusalemu nĩkuo ngaatũũria rĩĩtwa rĩakwa.”
5 He set up altars to worship the sun, moon, and stars in the two courtyards of the Lord's Temple.
Thĩinĩ wa nja cierĩ cia hekarũ ya Jehova, agĩaka igongona cia mbũtũ ciothe cia igũrũ.
6 He even he sacrificed his own son as a burnt offering, and used fortune-telling and witchcraft, and he dealt with mediums and with spiritists. He did a great deal of evil in the Lord's sight, making the Lord angry.
Nake akĩruta mũriũ wake arĩ igongona rĩa njino, na nĩaragũraga na agatuĩria nyoni, na akarogana, na agathiiaga kũrĩ andũ arĩa marĩ maroho ma kũragũra. Agĩĩka maũndũ maingĩ mooru maitho-inĩ ma Jehova, nginya akĩmũrakaria.
7 He took the Asherah idol pole he had made and placed in the Temple. This was the place referred to by the Lord when he told David and Solomon, his son, “In this Temple and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen from all the tribes of Israel, I will place my name forever.
Nĩooire mũhianano mũicũhie ũrĩa aathondekete wa gĩtugĩ kĩa Ashera, akĩũiga hekarũ thĩinĩ, o nyũmba ĩyo Jehova eerĩte Daudi na mũriũ Solomoni ũhoro wayo atĩrĩ, “Nĩngatũũria rĩĩtwa rĩakwa nginya tene thĩinĩ wa hekarũ ĩno na thĩinĩ wa Jerusalemu, kũrĩa thuurĩte kuuma mĩhĩrĩga-inĩ yothe ya Isiraeli.
8 I will never again make the Israelites wander from the land I gave their forefathers if they are careful to follow everything I have ordered them to do—the whole law that my servant Moses gave them.”
Ndirĩ hĩndĩ ĩngĩ ngaatũma magũrũ ma andũ a Isiraeli morũũre, moime bũrũri ũrĩa ndaaheire maithe mao ma tene, mamenyagĩrĩre mekage maũndũ marĩa mothe ndĩmathĩte, na marũmie Watho ũrĩa maaheirwo nĩ Musa ndungata yakwa.”
9 The people refused to listen and Manasseh led them to sin so that the evil they did was even worse than the nations the Lord had destroyed before the Israelites.
No andũ acio matiigana kũigua. Manase akĩmahĩtithia, nĩ ũndũ wa ũguo magĩĩka maũndũ mooru gũkĩra ndũrĩrĩ iria Jehova aaniinĩire mbere ya andũ a Isiraeli.
10 The Lord said through his servants the prophets:
Jehova oigire na tũnua twa ndungata ciake cia anabii atĩrĩ:
11 “Since Manasseh, king of Judah, has committed all these disgusting sins, doing even more evil things than the Amorites who lived before him, and by his encouragement of idol worship has made Judah sin,
“Manase mũthamaki wa Juda nĩekĩte mehia marĩ magigi. Ageeka maũndũ mooru gũkĩra Aamori arĩa maarĩ mbere yake, na agatongoria andũ a Juda kwĩhia nĩ ũndũ wa kũhooya mĩhianano yake.
12 this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: Watch out! I am going to bring down upon Jerusalem and Judah such a disaster that it will cause ringing in the ears of everyone who hears it.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jehova Ngai wa Isiraeli ekuuga ũũ: Nĩngũrehere Jerusalemu na Juda mwanangĩko ũrĩa ũgaatũma andũ arĩa makaigua ũhoro ũcio mararakwo nĩ matũ mao.
13 I will extend over Jerusalem the measuring line used against Samaria and the plumb line used against the house of Ahab, and I will wipe away Jerusalem as people wipe clean a bowl, wiping it and turning it upside down.
Nĩngatambũrũkĩria Jerusalemu rũrigi rwa gũthima rũrĩa rwahũthĩrirwo rwa gũũkĩrĩra Samaria na kabirũ karĩa kahũthĩrirwo gũũkĩrĩra nyũmba ya Ahabu. Nĩngaherithia na niine andũ a Jerusalemu o ta ũrĩa mũndũ ahuuraga thaani, akamĩkurumania.
14 I will give up on the remnant of my special people and hand them over to their enemies. They will be plunder and loot to all their enemies,
Nĩngatiganĩria matigari ma igai rĩakwa, na ndĩmaneane kũrĩ thũ ciao. Magaatahwo na matunywo indo ciao nĩ thũ ciao ciothe,
15 because they have done what is evil in my sight, and have made me angry from the day their fathers left Egypt until today.”
tondũ nĩmekĩte maũndũ mooru maitho-inĩ makwa, makaandakaria, kuuma mũthenya ũrĩa maithe mao moimire Misiri nginyagia ũmũthĩ.”
16 On top of that, Manasseh murdered so many innocent people that Jerusalem was filled from one side to the other with their blood. This was in addition to the sin that he had made Judah commit, doing evil in the Lord's sight.
Ningĩ Manase nĩaitire thakame nyingĩ mũno ya andũ matehĩtie, ĩkĩiyũra Jerusalemu kuuma gĩturi kĩmwe nginya kĩrĩa kĩngĩ, tũtegũtara mehia marĩa aatũmĩte andũ a Juda meehie, nĩ ũndũ wa ũguo magĩĩka maũndũ mooru maitho-inĩ ma Jehova.
17 The rest of what happened in Manasseh's reign, all he did, as well as the sins he committed, are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Judah.
Ha ũhoro wa maũndũ marĩa mangĩ makoniĩ wathani wa Manase, na marĩa mothe eekire, hamwe na mehia marĩa eekire-rĩ, githĩ matiandĩkĩtwo mabuku-inĩ ma mahinda ma athamaki a Juda?
18 Manasseh died, and was buried in his palace garden, the garden of Uzza. His son Amon succeeded him as king.
Manase akĩhurũka hamwe na maithe make, na agĩthikwo mũgũnda-inĩ wake wa ũthamaki, nĩguo mũgũnda wa Uza. Nake mũriũ Amoni agĩtuĩka mũthamaki ithenya rĩake.
19 Amon was twenty-two when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for two years. His mother's name was Meshullemeth, daughter of Haruz. She came from Jotbah.
Amoni aarĩ wa mĩaka mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ĩĩrĩ rĩrĩa aatuĩkire mũthamaki, nake agĩthamaka Jerusalemu mĩaka ĩĩrĩ. Nyina eetagwo Meshulemethu mwarĩ wa Haruzu; oimĩte Jotiba.
20 He did what was evil in the Lord's sight, just as his father Manasseh had done.
Nake agĩĩka maũndũ mooru maitho-inĩ ma Jehova, o ta ũrĩa ithe Manase eekĩte.
21 He followed all the ways of his father, and he served the idols his father had served, bowing down in worship to them.
Nĩathiire na mĩthiĩre yothe ya ithe; akĩhooya mĩhianano ĩrĩa ithe aahooyaga, na akĩmĩinamĩrĩra.
22 He rejected the Lord, the God of his forefathers, and did not follow the way of the Lord.
Agĩtigana na Jehova, Ngai wa maithe make, na ndaigana kũrũmĩrĩra Jehova.
23 Amon's officials plotted against him and murdered him in his royal palace.
Anene a Amoni makĩmũciirĩra ndundu, na makĩũragĩra mũthamaki kũu nyũmba-inĩ yake ya ũthamaki.
24 But then the people of the land killed everyone who had plotted against King Amon, and they chose his son Josiah king to succeed him.
Nao andũ a bũrũri makĩũraga arĩa othe maathugundĩte gũũkĩrĩra Mũthamaki Amoni na magĩtua mũriũ Josia mũthamaki ithenya rĩake.
25 The rest of what happened in Amon's reign, and all he did, are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Judah.
Ha ũhoro wa maũndũ marĩa mangĩ makoniĩ wathani wa Amoni, na ũrĩa eekire-rĩ, githĩ matiandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ rĩa mahinda ma athamaki a Juda?
26 He was buried in his tomb in the garden of Uzza, and his son Josiah succeeded him as king.
Nake agĩthikwo mbĩrĩra-inĩ yake mũgũnda-inĩ wa Uza. Nake mũriũ Josia agĩtuĩka mũthamaki ithenya rĩake.
