2 Chronicles 33
1 Manasseh was twelue yeere olde, when he beganne to reigne, and he reigned fiue and fiftie yeere in Ierusalem:
Manase alikuwa na umri wa miaka kumi na miwili alipoanza kutawala, naye akatawala huko Yerusalemu miaka hamsini na mitano.
2 And he did euill in the sight of the Lord, like the abominations of the heathen, who the Lord had cast out before the children of Israel.
Akafanya maovu machoni pa Bwana, akafuata desturi za machukizo za mataifa ambayo Bwana aliyafukuza mbele ya Waisraeli.
3 For he went backe and built the hie places, which Hezekiah his father had broken downe: and he set vp altars for Baalim, and made groues, and worshipped all the hoste of the heauen, and serued them.
Akajenga upya mahali pa juu pa kuabudia miungu ambapo Hezekia baba yake, alikuwa amepabomoa, pia akasimamisha madhabahu za Mabaali na nguzo za Maashera. Akalisujudia jeshi lote la angani na kuliabudu.
4 Also he built altars in the house of the Lord, whereof the Lord had saide, In Ierusalem shall my Name be for euer.
Akajenga madhabahu katika Hekalu la Bwana ambamo Bwana alikuwa amesema, “Jina langu litadumu Yerusalemu milele.”
5 And he built altars for all the hoste of the heauen in the two courtes of the house of the Lord.
Katika nyua zote mbili za Hekalu la Bwana akajenga madhabahu kwa ajili ya jeshi lote la angani.
6 And he caused his sonnes to passe through the fire in the valley of Ben-hinnom: he gaue him selfe to witchcraft and to charming and to sorcerie, and he vsed them that had familiar spirits, and soothsayers: hee did very much euill in the sight of the Lord to anger him.
Akawatoa wanawe kuwa kafara kwa kuwapitisha katika moto katika Bonde la Ben-Hinomu, akafanya ulozi, uaguzi na uchawi, akataka ushauri kwa wenye pepo wa utambuzi na wenye kuwasiliana na mizimu. Akafanya maovu mengi machoni pa Bwana, akaichochea hasira yake.
7 He put also the carued image, which he had made, in the house of God: whereof God had said to Dauid and to Salomon his sonne, In this house and in Ierusalem, which I haue chosen before all the tribes of Israel, will I put my Name for euer,
Akachukua ile sanamu aliyoichonga na kuiweka katika Hekalu la Mungu ambalo Mungu alikuwa amemwambia Daudi na mwanawe Solomoni, “Katika Hekalu hili na katika Yerusalemu niliouchagua kutoka kabila zote za Israeli, nitaliweka Jina langu milele.
8 Neither will I make the foote of Israel to remooue any more out of the lande which I haue appointed for your fathers, so that they take heede, and do all that I haue commanded them, according to the Lawe and statutes and iudgements by the hande of Moses.
Sitaifanya tena miguu ya Waisraeli iondoke tena katika nchi niliyowapa baba zenu, ikiwa watakuwa waangalifu kufanya kila kitu nilichowaamuru kuhusu sheria zote, maagizo na amri zilizotolewa kwa mkono wa Mose.”
9 So Manasseh made Iudah and the inhabitants of Ierusalem to erre, and to doe worse then the heathen, whome the Lord had destroyed before the children of Israel.
Lakini Manase akawaongoza Yuda na watu wa Yerusalemu katika upotovu, kiasi kwamba walifanya maovu mengi kuliko mataifa ambayo Bwana aliwaangamiza mbele ya Waisraeli.
10 And the Lord spake to Manasseh and to his people, but they would not regarde.
Bwana akasema na Manase pamoja na watu wake, lakini hawakumjali.
11 Wherefore the Lord brought vpon them the captaines of the hoste of the King of Asshur, which tooke Manasseh and put him in fetters, and bound him in chaines, and caryed him to Babel.
Hivyo Bwana akaleta juu yao majemadari wa jeshi la mfalme wa Ashuru, ambao walimchukua Manase kwenda kifungoni, wakaweka ndoana katika pua yake, wakamfunga kwa pingu za shaba na kumpeleka Babeli.
12 And when he was in tribulation, he prayed to the Lord his God, and humbled him selfe greatly before the God of his fathers,
Katika dhiki yake akamsihi Bwana Mungu wake na kujinyenyekeza sana mbele za Mungu wa baba zake.
13 And prayed vnto him: and God was entreated of him, and heard his prayer, and brought him againe to Ierusalem into his kingdome: then Manasseh knewe that the Lord was God.
Naye alipomwomba, Bwana akaguswa na kule kusihi kwake na akasikiliza kilio chake, kwa hiyo akamrudisha Yerusalemu na kwenye ufalme wake. Ndipo Manase akatambua kwamba Bwana ndiye Mungu.
14 Nowe after this he built a wall without the citie of Dauid, on the Westside of Gihon in the valley, euen at the entrie of the fish gate, and compassed about Ophel, and raised it very hie, and put captaines of warre in all the strong cities of Iudah.
Baadaye akajenga ukuta wa nje wa Mji wa Daudi, magharibi mwa chemchemi ya Gihoni katika bonde, hadi kufikia ingilio la Lango la Samaki na akakizunguka kilima cha Ofeli, pia akaufanya kuwa mrefu zaidi. Akawaweka majemadari katika miji yote ya Yuda iliyokuwa imejengewa ngome.
15 And he tooke away the strange gods and the image out of the house of the Lord, and all the altars that he had built in the mount of the house of the Lord, and in Ierusalem, and cast them out of the citie.
Akaondolea mbali miungu ya kigeni na kuondoa sanamu kutoka Hekalu la Bwana pamoja na madhabahu zote alizozijenga katika kile kilima kilichojengwa Hekalu na katika Yerusalemu, akazitupa nje ya mji.
16 Also he prepared the altar of the Lord, and sacrificed thereon peace offerings, and of thankes, and commanded Iudah to serue the Lord God of Israel.
Kisha akarudisha madhabahu ya Bwana na kutolea juu yake dhabihu za sadaka za amani pamoja na sadaka za shukrani, naye akawaamuru Yuda wamtumikie Bwana, Mungu wa Israeli.
17 Neuerthelesse the people did sacrifice stil in the hie places, but vnto the Lord their God.
Lakini hata hivyo watu wakaendelea kutoa dhabihu mahali pa juu pa kuabudia miungu, lakini wakimtolea Bwana Mungu wao peke yake.
18 Concerning the rest of the actes of Manasseh, and his prayer vnto his God, and the words of the Seers, that spake to him in ye Name of the Lord God of Israel, beholde, they are written in the booke of the Kings of Israel.
Matukio mengine ya utawala wa Manase, maombi yake kwa Mungu wake na maneno aliyoambiwa na waonaji walionena naye kwa jina la Bwana, Mungu wa Israeli, yameandikwa katika kitabu cha kumbukumbu za wafalme wa Israeli.
19 And his prayer and how God was intreated of him, and all his sinne, and his trespasse, and the places wherein he built hie places, and set groues and images (before he was humbled) behold, they are written in the booke of the Seers.
Maombi yake, pamoja na jinsi Mungu alivyoguswa na kusihi kwake, pia dhambi zake zote na kukosa kwake uaminifu pamoja na sehemu alizojenga mahali pa juu pa kuabudia miungu, kule kusimamisha nguzo za Ashera na sanamu kabla ya kujinyenyekeza kwake, yote yameandikwa katika kumbukumbu za waonaji.
20 So Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they buried him in his owne house: and Amon his sonne reigned in his stead.
Manase akalala pamoja na baba zake akazikwa katika jumba lake la kifalme. Naye Amoni mwanawe akawa mfalme baada yake.
21 Amon was two and twentie yeere olde, when he began to reigne, and reigned two yeere in Ierusalem.
Amoni alikuwa na miaka ishirini na miwili, alipoanza kutawala, naye akatawala huko Yerusalemu kwa miaka miwili.
22 But he did euill in the sight of the Lord, as did Manasseh his father: for Amon sacrificed to all the images, which Manasseh his father had made, and serued them,
Akatenda maovu machoni mwa Bwana, kama baba yake Manase alivyofanya. Amoni akaabudu na kutoa dhabihu kwa sanamu zote alizokuwa ametengeneza Manase.
23 And he humbled not him selfe before the Lord, as Manasseh his father had humbled himselfe: but this Amon trespassed more and more.
Lakini tofauti na Manase baba yake, hakujinyenyekeza mbele za Bwana, badala yake Amoni aliongeza hatia zaidi na zaidi.
24 And his seruants conspired against him, and slewe him in his owne house.
Watumishi wa Amoni wakafanya fitina juu yake, nao wakamuulia kwake nyumbani.
25 But the people of the land slewe all them that had conspired against King Amon: and the people of the land made Iosiah his sonne King in his steade.
Kisha watu wa nchi wakawaua wale wote waliokuwa wamefanya hila dhidi ya Mfalme Amoni. Wakamfanya Yosia mwanawe kuwa mfalme mahali pake.
