Kings IV 21
1 Manasses [was] twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name [was] Apsiba.
UManase wayeleminyaka elitshumi lambili lapho esiba yinkosi; wabusa iminyaka engamatshumi amahlanu lanhlanu eJerusalema. Lebizo likanina lalinguHefiziba.
2 And he did that which was evil in the eyes of the Lord, according to the abominations of the nations which the Lord cast out from before the children of Israel.
Wasesenza okubi emehlweni eNkosi njengokwamanyala ezizwe iNkosi eyazixotsha elifeni phambi kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli.
3 And he built again the high places, which Ezekias his father [had] demolished; and set up an altar to Baal, and made groves as Achaab king of Israel [made them]; and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served them.
Ngoba wabuya wakha indawo eziphakemeyo uyise uHezekhiya ayezichithile, wamisela uBhali amalathi, wenza isixuku, njengokwenza kukaAhabi inkosi yakoIsrayeli, wakhothamela ibutho lonke lamazulu, walikhonza.
4 And he built an altar in the house of the Lord, whereas he had said, In Jerusalem I will place my name.
Wasesakha amalathi endlini yeNkosi, iNkosi eyathi ngayo: EJerusalema ngizabeka ibizo lami.
5 And he built an altar to all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the Lord.
Wasesakhela ibutho lonke lamazulu amalathi emagumeni womabili endlini yeNkosi.
6 And he caused his sons to pass through the fire, and used divination and auspices, and made groves, and multiplied wizards, so as to do that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, to provoke him to anger.
Wasedabulisa indodana yakhe emlilweni, wachasisa ngemibono, wenza imilingo, wasebenza labalamadlozi labalumbayo. Wenza okubi kakhulu emehlweni eNkosi ukuyithukuthelisa.
7 And he set up the graven image of the grove in the house of which the Lord 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 even place my name for ever.
Wasemisa isithombe esibaziweyo sesixuku ayesenzile endlini, iNkosi eyakhuluma ngayo kuDavida lakuSolomoni indodana yakhe yathi: Kulindlu, leJerusalema engiyikhethe kuzo zonke izizwe zakoIsrayeli, ngizabeka ibizo lami kuze kube nininini.
8 And I will not again remove the foot of Israel from the land which I gave to their fathers, [even of those] who shall keep all that I commanded, according to all the commandments which my servant Moses commanded them.
Kangisayikuzulisa unyawo lukaIsrayeli luphume futhi elizweni engalinika oyise, kuphela uba bezananzelela ukwenza njengakho konke engabalaya khona langokomlayo wonke inceku yami uMozisi eyabalaya wona.
9 But they listened not; and Manasses led them astray to do evil in the sight of the Lord, beyond the nations whom the Lord utterly destroyed from before the children of Israel.
Kodwa kabalalelanga; uManase wasebaphambukisa ukuthi benze okubi okwedlula izizwe iNkosi eyazichitha phambi kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli.
10 And the Lord spoke by his servants the prophets, saying,
INkosi yasikhuluma ngezinceku zayo abaprofethi isithi:
11 Forasmuch as Manasses the king of Juda has wrought all these evil abominations, beyond all that the Amorite did, who lived before [him], and has led Juda also into sin by their idols,
Ngenxa yokuthi uManase inkosi yakoJuda wenzile lamanyala, wenze okubi okwedlula konke amaAmori akwenzayo, ayephambi kwakhe, wonisa loJuda ngezithombe zakhe.
12 [it shall] not [be] so. Thus says the Lord God of Israel, Behold, I bring calamities upon Jerusalem and Juda, so that both the ears of every one that hears shall tingle.
Ngakho itsho njalo iNkosi, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli: Khangela, ngiletha okubi phezu kweJerusalema loJuda kuthi laye wonke ozwayo indlebe zakhe zombili zizakhenceza ngakho.
13 And I will stretch out over Jerusalem the measure of Samaria, and the plummet of the house of Achaab: and I will wipe Jerusalem as a jar is wiped, and turned upside down in the wiping.
Ngizakwelula phezu kweJerusalema intambo yeSamariya, lentambo yokulinganisa yendlu kaAhabi, ngiyesule iJerusalema njengowesula umganu, awesule awumbokothe.
14 And I will reject the remnant of my inheritance, and will deliver them into the hands of their enemies; and they shall be for a plunder and for a spoil to all their enemies:
Njalo ngizatshiya insali yelifa lami, ngibanikele esandleni sezitha zabo, babe ngokubanjiweyo lempango kwezitha zabo zonke,
15 forasmuch as they have done wickedly in my sight, and have provoked me from the day that I brought out their fathers out of Egypt, even until this day.
ngenxa yokuthi benzile okubi emehlweni ami, bayangithukuthelisa, kusukela osukwini oyise abaphuma ngalo eGibhithe ngitsho kuze kube lamuhla.
16 Moreover Manasses shed very much innocent blood, until he filled Jerusalem [with it] from one end to the other, beside his sins with which he caused Juda to sin, in doing evil in the eyes of the Lord.
Futhi-ke uManase uchithile igazi elinengi kakhulu elingelacala waze wayigcwalisa iJerusalema kusukela ekuqaleni kuze kube sekucineni, ngaphandle kwesono sakhe enza ngaso uJuda ukuthi one, ukwenza okubi emehlweni eNkosi.
17 And the rest of the acts of Manasses, and all that he did, and his sin which he sinned, [are] not these things written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda?
Ezinye-ke zezindaba zikaManase, lakho konke akwenzayo, lesono sakhe asonayo, kakubhalwanga yini egwalweni lwemilando yamakhosi akoJuda?
18 And Manasses slept with his fathers, and was buried in the garden of his house, [even] in the garden of Oza: and Amos his son reigned in his stead.
UManase waselala laboyise, wangcwatshelwa esivandeni sendlu yakhe, esivandeni sikaUza. UAmoni indodana yakhe wasesiba yinkosi esikhundleni sakhe.
19 Twenty and two years old [was] Amos when he began to reign, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name [was] Mesollam, daughter of Arus of Jeteba.
UAmoni wayeleminyaka engamatshumi amabili lambili lapho esiba yinkosi; wabusa iminyaka emibili eJerusalema. Lebizo likanina lalinguMeshulemethi indodakazi kaHaruzi weJotiba.
20 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, as Manasses his father did.
Wasesenza okubi emehlweni eNkosi njengokwenza kukaManase uyise.
21 And he walked in all the way in which his father walked, and served the idols which his father served, and worshipped them.
Wahamba ngendlela yonke uyise ahamba ngayo, wakhonza izithombe uyise azikhonzayo, wakhothama kuzo.
22 And he forsook the Lord God of his fathers, and walked not in the way of the Lord.
Wayidela iNkosi, uNkulunkulu waboyise, kahambanga ngendlela yeNkosi.
23 And the servants of Amos conspired against him, and killed the king in his house.
Izinceku zikaAmoni zasezimenzela ugobe, zabulala inkosi endlini yayo.
24 And the people of the land killed all that had conspired against king Amos; and the people of the land made Josias king in his room.
Kodwa abantu belizwe babatshaya bonke labo ababenzele inkosi uAmoni ugobe; abantu belizwe basebebeka uJosiya indodana yakhe ukuba yinkosi esikhundleni sakhe.
25 And the rest of the acts of Amos, [even] all that he did, behold, [are] not these written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda?
Ezinye-ke zezindaba zikaAmoni azenzayo kazibhalwanga yini egwalweni lwemilando yamakhosi akoJuda?
26 And they buried him in his tomb in the garden of Oza: and Josias his son reigned in his stead.
Wasengcwatshelwa engcwabeni lakhe esivandeni sikaUza. UJosiya indodana yakhe wasesiba yinkosi esikhundleni sakhe.
