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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 He set up pagan altars in the Lord's Temple, right where the Lord had said, “I will place my name in Jerusalem forever.”
Li menm rive bati lotèl pou zidòl anndan Tanp Seyè a, kote Seyè a te di se la l'ap rete lavil Jerizalèm.
5 He set up altars to worship the sun, moon, and stars in the two courtyards of the Lord's Temple.
Li fè bati lotèl nan de lakou tanp lan pou tout zetwal ki nan syèl la.
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.
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 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.
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 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.”
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 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.
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 The Lord said through his servants the prophets:
Lè sa a, Seyè a voye sèvitè l' yo, pwofèt yo, pou di yo:
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,
—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 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.
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 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.
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 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,
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 what is evil in my sight, and have made me angry from the day their fathers left Egypt until today.”
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 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.
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 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.
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 Manasseh died, and was buried in his palace garden, the garden of Uzza. His son Amon succeeded him as king.
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 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.
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 what was evil in the Lord's sight, just as his father Manasseh had done.
Tankou Manase, papa l', li fè sa ki mal devan Seyè a.
21 He followed all the ways of his father, and he served the idols his father had served, bowing down in worship to them.
Li mache pye pou pye dèyè Manase nan tout bagay. Li sèvi zidòl papa l' te sèvi yo, li adore yo.
22 He rejected the Lord, the God of his forefathers, and did not follow the way of the Lord.
Li vire do bay Seyè a, Bondye zansèt li yo, li pa mache jan Seyè a vle l' la.
23 Amon's officials plotted against him and murdered him in his royal palace.
Chèf ki t'ap sèvi avèk Amon yo fè konplo, yo touye l' anndan palè a.
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.
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 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.
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 buried in his tomb in the garden of Uzza, and his son Josiah succeeded him as king.
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.
