2 Kings 21
1 [was] a son of Two [plus] ten year[s] Manasseh when became king he and fifty and five year[s] he reigned in Jerusalem and [the] name of mother his [was] Hephzi-bah.
Manase alikuwa na umri wa miaka kumi na miwili alipoanza kutawala, naye akatawala huko Yerusalemu miaka hamsini na mitano. Mama yake aliitwa Hefsiba.
2 And he did the evil in [the] eyes of Yahweh according to [the] abominations of the nations which he had dispossessed Yahweh from before [the] people of Israel.
Akafanya maovu machoni pa Bwana, akafuata desturi za machukizo za mataifa ambayo Bwana aliyafukuza mbele ya Waisraeli.
3 And he returned and he built the high places which he had destroyed Hezekiah father his and he set up altars to Baal and he made an Asherah pole just as he had done Ahab [the] king of Israel and he bowed down to all [the] host of the heavens and he served them.
Akajenga upya mahali pa juu pa kuabudia miungu ambapo Hezekia baba yake alikuwa amepabomoa. Pia akasimamisha madhabahu za Baali na kutengeneza nguzo ya Ashera, kama Ahabu mfalme wa Israeli alivyofanya. Akalisujudia jeshi lote la angani na kuliabudu.
4 And he built altars in [the] house of Yahweh which he had said Yahweh in Jerusalem I will put name my.
Akajenga madhabahu katika Hekalu la Bwana, ambamo Bwana alikuwa amesema, “Katika Yerusalemu nitaliweka Jina langu.”
5 And he built altars to all [the] host of the heavens in [the] two [the] courtyards of [the] house of Yahweh.
Katika nyua zote mbili za Hekalu la Bwana, akajenga madhabahu kwa ajili ya jeshi lote la angani.
6 And he made pass son his in the fire and he practiced soothsaying and he practiced divination and he dealt with necromancer and soothsayers he increased to do the evil in [the] eyes of Yahweh to provoke [him] to anger.
Akamtoa kafara mwanawe mwenyewe katika moto, akafanya uchawi na uaguzi, na akataka shauri kwa wapiga ramli na kwa mizimu. Akafanya maovu mengi sana machoni mwa Bwana na kumghadhibisha.
7 And he put [the] image of Asherah which he had made in the house which he had said Yahweh to David and to Solomon son his in the house this and in Jerusalem which I have chosen from all [the] tribes of Israel I will put name my for ever.
Akachukua nguzo ya Ashera aliyoichonga na kuiweka katika Hekalu, ambalo Bwana alikuwa amemwambia Daudi na mwanawe Solomoni, “Katika Hekalu hili na katika Yerusalemu niliouchagua kutoka kabila zote za Israeli, nitaliweka Jina langu milele.
8 And not I will repeat to make wander [the] foot of Israel from the ground which I gave to ancestors their only - if they will take care to do according to all that I have commanded them and to all the law which he commanded them servant my Moses.
Sitaifanya tena miguu ya Waisraeli itangetange kutoka nchi niliyowapa baba zao, ikiwa watakuwa waangalifu kufanya kila kitu nilichowaamuru, na kuishika Sheria yote ambayo walipewa na Mose mtumishi wangu.”
9 And not they listened and he misled them Manasseh to do evil more than the nations which he had destroyed Yahweh from before [the] people of Israel.
Lakini hawa watu hawakusikiliza. Manase akawapotosha, hivyo kwamba walifanya maovu mengi kuliko mataifa ambayo Bwana aliyaangamiza mbele ya Waisraeli.
10 And he spoke Yahweh by [the] hand of servants his the prophets saying.
Bwana akasema kupitia watumishi wake manabii:
11 Because that he has done Manasseh [the] king of Judah the abominations these he has done evil more than all that they did the Amorite[s] who [was] before him and he has caused to sin also Judah with idols his.
“Manase mfalme wa Yuda ametenda dhambi hizi za kuchukiza. Amefanya maovu mengi kuliko Waamori waliokuwepo kabla yake, na ameiongoza Yuda katika dhambi kwa sanamu zake.
12 Therefore thus he says Yahweh [the] God of Israel here I [am] about to bring calamity on Jerusalem and Judah which every ([one who] hears of it *Q(K)*) they will tingle [the] two ears his.
Kwa hiyo hili ndilo asemalo Bwana, Mungu wa Israeli: Nitaleta maafa makubwa juu ya Yerusalemu na Yuda, kiasi kwamba masikio ya kila mmoja atakayesikia habari zake yatawasha.
13 And I will stretch out over Jerusalem [the] measuring-line of Samaria and [the] leveling tool of [the] house of Ahab and I will wipe clean Jerusalem just as someone wipes clean the bowl he wipes [it] clean and he turns [it] over on face its.
Nitanyoosha juu ya Yerusalemu kamba ya kupimia iliyotumika dhidi ya Samaria, na timazi iliyotumika dhidi ya nyumba ya Ahabu. Nitaifutilia mbali Yerusalemu kama mtu afutaye sahani, nikiifuta na kuifunikiza.
14 And I will abandon [the] remnant of inheritance my and I will give them in [the] hand of enemies their and they will become spoil and plunder to all enemies their.
Nitawakataa mabaki wa urithi wangu na kuwatia mikononi mwa adui zao. Watapokonywa mali zao na kutekwa nyara na adui zao wote,
15 Because that they have done the evil in view my and they have been provoking to anger me since the day when they came out ancestors their from Egypt and until the day this.
kwa sababu wametenda uovu machoni pangu na kunighadhibisha tangu siku baba zao walipotoka Misri mpaka siku ya leo.”
16 And also blood innocent he shed Manasseh much very until that he had filled Jerusalem mouth to mouth apart from sin his which he caused to sin Judah to do the evil in [the] eyes of Yahweh.
Zaidi ya hayo, Manase pia alimwaga damu nyingi isiyo na hatia, hivi kwamba aliijaza Yerusalemu kutoka mwanzo hadi mwisho, mbali na dhambi ambayo alikuwa amesababisha Yuda kufanya, na hivyo wakatenda maovu machoni pa Bwana.
17 And [the] rest of [the] matters of Manasseh and all that he did and sin his which he sinned ¿ not [are] they written on [the] scroll of [the] matters of the days of [the] kings of Judah.
Matukio mengine ya utawala wa Manase, na yote aliyoyafanya, pamoja na dhambi alizotenda, je, hayakuandikwa katika kitabu cha kumbukumbu za wafalme wa Yuda?
18 And he lay down Manasseh with ancestors his and he was buried in [the] garden of house his in [the] garden of Uzzah and he became king Amon son his in place of him.
Manase akalala pamoja na baba zake na akazikwa katika bustani ya jumba lake la kifalme, katika bustani ya Uza. Naye Amoni mwanawe akawa mfalme baada yake.
19 [was] a son of Twenty and two year[s] Amon when became king he and two years he reigned in Jerusalem and [the] name of mother his [was] Meshullemeth [the] daughter of Haruz from Jotbah.
Amoni alikuwa na miaka ishirini na miwili alipoanza kutawala, naye akatawala huko Yerusalemu kwa miaka miwili. Mamaye aliitwa Meshulemethi binti Haruzi, kutoka Yotba.
20 And he did the evil in [the] eyes of Yahweh just as he had done Manasseh father his.
Akatenda maovu machoni mwa Bwana, kama baba yake Manase alivyofanya.
21 And he walked in all the way which he had walked father his and he served the idols which he had served father his and he bowed down to them.
Akaenenda katika njia zote za baba yake, akaabudu sanamu ambazo baba yake aliziabudu na kuzisujudia.
22 And he forsook Yahweh [the] God of ancestors his and not he walked in [the] way of Yahweh.
Akamwacha Bwana, Mungu wa baba zake, wala hakuenenda katika njia za Bwana.
23 And they conspired [the] servants of Amon on him and they killed the king in own house his.
Watumishi wa Amoni wakafanya fitina juu yake, nao wakamuulia kwake nyumbani.
24 And it struck down [the] people of the land all those [who] had conspired on the king Amon and they made king [the] people of the land Josiah son his in place of him.
Kisha watu wa nchi wakawaua wale wote waliokuwa wamefanya hila dhidi ya Mfalme Amoni. Wakamfanya Yosia mwanawe kuwa mfalme mahali pake.
25 And [the] rest of [the] matters of Amon which he did ¿ not [are] they written on [the] scroll of [the] matters of the days of [the] kings of Judah.
Matukio mengine ya utawala wa Amoni na yale aliyoyafanya, je, hayakuandikwa katika kitabu cha kumbukumbu za wafalme wa Yuda?
26 (And someone buried *LB(ah)*) him in grave his in [the] garden of Uzzah and he became king Josiah son his in place of him.
Akazikwa kwenye kaburi lake katika bustani ya Uza. Naye Yosia mwanawe akawa mfalme baada yake.
