2 Chronicles 33
1 Twelve years old, was Manasseh when he began to reign, —and, fifty-five years, reigned he in Jerusalem.
Manasye berumur 12 tahun ketika ia menjadi raja Yehuda dan ia memerintah di Yerusalem 55 tahun lamanya.
2 And he did the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, -according to the abominable ways of the nations, whom Yahweh dispossessed from before the sons of Israel.
Ia berdosa kepada TUHAN, karena mengikuti kebiasaan-kebiasaan jahat bangsa-bangsa yang diusir TUHAN dari Kanaan pada waktu orang Israel memasuki negeri itu.
3 And he again built the high places, which Hezekiah his father had thrown down, —and set up altars to the Baalim, and made Sacred Stems, and bowed in prostration unto all the army of the heavens, and served them;
Tempat-tempat penyembahan berhala yang telah dimusnahkan Hizkia, ayahnya, dibangunnya kembali. Ia membangun mezbah-mezbah untuk beribadat kepada Baal, dan ia membuat patung-patung Dewi Asyera, serta menyembah bintang-bintang.
4 and built altars in the house of Yahweh, —as to which Yahweh had said, In Jerusalem, shall be my Name, unto times age-abiding.
TUHAN telah berkata bahwa untuk selama-lamanya Yerusalem adalah tempat untuk beribadat kepada-Nya, tetapi di sana di Rumah TUHAN itu, Manasye telah mendirikan mezbah-mezbah untuk dewa-dewa.
5 Yea he built altars unto all the army of the heavens, —in the two courts of the house of Yahweh.
Di kedua halaman Rumah TUHAN itu ia mendirikan mezbah-mezbah untuk penyembahan kepada bintang-bintang.
6 And, he, caused his sons to pass through the fire, in the valley of the son of Hinnom, and practised hidden arts and used divination, and practised sorcery, and appointed a necromancer, and a wizard, —he exceeded in doing the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, to provoke him to anger;
Anak-anaknya dipersembahkannya sebagai kurban bakaran di Lembah Hinom. Ia juga melakukan praktek-praktek pedukunan, penujuman, ilmu gaib, dan meminta petunjuk kepada roh-roh. Ia sangat berdosa kepada TUHAN sehingga membangkitkan kemarahan TUHAN.
7 and he set a resemblance-image which he had made, —in the house of God, as to which God had said unto David, and unto 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, unto times age-abiding.
Patung berhala ditaruhnya di dalam Rumah TUHAN, padahal mengenai tempat itu Allah telah berkata kepada Daud dan Salomo putranya, "Rumah-Ku di Yerusalem ini, yang telah Kupilih dari antara kedua belas wilayah suku Israel, adalah tempat yang Kutentukan sebagai tempat ibadat kepada-Ku untuk selama-lamanya.
8 So will I not again remove the foot of Israel away from the soil which I appointed for their fathers. Only they must observe to do all that I have commanded them, even all the law and the statutes and the regulations, by the hand of Moses.
Kalau umat Israel mentaati semua perintah-Ku dan menuruti hukum-hukum yang diberikan Musa hamba-Ku kepada mereka, maka Aku tidak akan membiarkan mereka diusir dari negeri yang telah Kuberikan kepada leluhur mereka."
9 And so Manasseh led astray Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, —to commit wickedness beyond the nations which Yahweh had destroyed from before the sons of Israel.
Manasye menyebabkan rakyat Yehuda melakukan dosa-dosa yang lebih jahat dari dosa yang dilakukan oleh bangsa-bangsa yang diusir TUHAN dari Kanaan pada waktu umat TUHAN memasuki negeri itu.
10 And Yahweh spake unto Manasseh and unto his people, but they did not give ear.
TUHAN menegur Manasye dan rakyatnya, tetapi mereka tidak mau mendengar.
11 So Yahweh brought in upon them, the captains of the army that belonged to the king of Assyria, and they captured Manasseh with hooks, —and bound him captive with a pair of bronze fetters, and took him away to Babylon.
Karena itu TUHAN mendatangkan para panglima tentara Asyur untuk menyerang Yehuda. Manasye ditangkap dengan kaitan, lalu dibelenggu dan diangkut ke Babel.
12 But, in his distress, he appeased the face of Yahweh his God, —and humbled himself greatly, before the God of his fathers;
Dalam penderitaannya itu ia merendahkan diri terhadap TUHAN Allahnya, dan berdoa mohon pertolongan-Nya.
13 and, when he prayed unto him, then was he entreated of him, and hearkened unto his supplication, and brought him back to Jerusalem, unto his own kingdom, and so Manasseh came to know, that, Yahweh, is God.
Allah mengabulkan doa Manasye dan mengembalikan dia ke Yerusalem untuk memerintah lagi. Karena kejadian itu Manasye menjadi yakin bahwa TUHAN adalah Allah.
14 And, after this, he built an outer wall to the city of David on the west of the Gihon in the ravine, even to the entering in through the fish-gate, and went round to Ophel, and carried it up very high, —and put captains of valour in all the fortified cities, throughout Judah.
Kemudian Manasye mempertinggi tembok luar di bagian timur Kota Daud. Ia mulai dari satu tempat di lembah dekat mata air Gihon lalu terus ke utara sampai ke Pintu Gerbang Ikan dan bagian kota yang disebut Ofel. Di setiap kota berbenteng di Yehuda, ia menempatkan juga seorang panglima.
15 And he removed the gods of the foreigner and the image, out of the house of Yahweh, and all the altars that he had built in the mountain of the house of Yahweh, and in Jerusalem, —and he cast them forth outside the city.
Ia menyingkirkan patung-patung dewa bangsa lain serta berhala-berhala yang telah diletakkannya di Rumah TUHAN. Ia membongkar mezbah-mezbah berhala yang berada di bukit Rumah TUHAN, dan di tempat-tempat lain di Yerusalem. Semuanya itu dibawanya ke luar kota lalu dibuang.
16 And he built the altar of Yahweh, and sacrificed thereon peace-offerings, and thanksgiving sacrifices, -and gave word to Judah to serve Yahweh, God of Israel.
Kemudian ia memperbaiki mezbah tempat ibadat kepada TUHAN, lalu mempersembahkan di situ kurban perdamaian dan kurban syukur. Semua orang Yehuda disuruhnya beribadat kepada TUHAN Allah Israel.
17 Howbeit, still were, the people, sacrificing in the high places, —only unto Yahweh their God.
Rakyat masih mempersembahkan kurban di tempat-tempat penyembahan lain, tetapi persembahan itu adalah untuk TUHAN.
18 But, the rest of the story of Manasseh, and his prayer unto his God, and the story of the seers who spake unto him in the name of Yahweh God of Israel, there they are, in the story of the kings of Israel:
Kisah lainnya mengenai Manasye, dan mengenai doanya kepada Allah, serta pesan-pesan Allah yang disampaikan kepadanya oleh nabi-nabi atas nama TUHAN, Allah Israel, semuanya sudah dicatat di dalam buku Sejarah Raja-raja Israel.
19 both his prayer and how [God] was entreated of him—and all his sin and his treacherous act, and the sites whereon he built high places, and set up the Sacred Stems and the images, before he humbled himself, there they are, written in the story of the seers.
Dalam buku Sejarah Nabi-nabi sudah dicatat juga doa Manasye dan jawaban Allah atas doa itu, serta kisah tentang dosa-dosanya sebelum ia bertobat, tempat-tempat penyembahan berhala dan patung-patung Dewi Asyera yang dibuatnya, dan berhala-berhala yang disembahnya.
20 And Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the garden off his own house, —and Amon his son reigned in his stead.
Manasye meninggal dan dimakamkan di istana. Amon putranya menjadi raja menggantikan dia.
21 Twenty-two years old, was Amon when he began to reign, —and, two years, reigned he in Jerusalem.
Amon berumur 22 tahun ketika ia menjadi raja Yehuda, dan ia memerintah di Yerusalem dua tahun lamanya.
22 And he did the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, as Manasseh his father had done, —and, unto all the images which Manasseh his father had made, Amon offered sacrifice, and did serve them.
Seperti ayahnya ia pun berdosa kepada TUHAN. Ia menyembah berhala-berhala yang disembah ayahnya dan mempersembahkan kurban kepada berhala-berhala itu.
23 But he did not humble himself before Yahweh as Manasseh his father humbled himself, —for, he, Amon, made guilt abound.
Tetapi, berbeda dengan ayahnya, Amon tidak merendahkan diri dan tidak kembali kepada TUHAN; ia malahan lebih berdosa dari ayahnya.
24 And his servants conspired against him, and put him to death, in his own house.
Pegawai-pegawai Raja Amon berkomplot melawan dia dan membunuhnya di istana.
25 But the people of the land smote all the conspirators against King Amon, —and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his stead.
Tetapi rakyat Yehuda membunuh para pembunuh Raja Amon itu, lalu mengangkat Yosia anaknya menjadi raja.
