< 2 Chronicles 33 >

1 Manasseh was 12 years old when he became the king [of Judah], and he ruled from Jerusalem for 55 years.
Manase ne ja-higni apar gariyo kane odoko ruoth kendo nobedo e loch kuom higni piero abich gabich kodak Jerusalem.
2 He did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil. He imitated the disgusting things that were formerly done by the people-groups that Yahweh had expelled from Israel as his people advanced [though the land].
Notimo richo e nyim wangʼ Jehova Nyasaye koluwo timbe mamono mag ogendini mane Jehova Nyasaye oseriembo e dier jo-Israel.
3 He commanded his workers to rebuild the shrines [for worshiping idols] that his father Hezekiah had destroyed. He told them to set up altars to [honor] the statues of Baal, and to make altars to [honor the goddess] Asherah. He bowed down to [worship] all the stars.
Ne ochako ogero kuonde motingʼore gi malo mag lemo ma wuon mare Hezekia nomuko, to bende nogero kende mag misengini miwangʼoe liswa ne Baal kaachiel gi sirni milamo mag Ashera. Bende nokulore kolamo gik moko duto mochwe man e kor polo.
4 He directed his workers to build altars [for foreign gods] in the temple, about which Yahweh had said, “It is here in Jerusalem that I want people to worship me, forever.”
Ne ogero kende mag misengini e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye kata obedo ni Jehova Nyasaye nosewacho niya, “Nyinga nobed Jerusalem nyaka chiengʼ.”
5 He directed that altars for [worshiping] all the stars be built in both of the courtyards outside the temple.
Nogero kende mag misengini miwangʼoe liswa ne gik mochwe mae kor polo e laru ariyo mag hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye.
6 He even sacrificed [some of] his own sons and burned them in a fire in Hinnom Valley. He performed rituals to practice sorcery. He asked fortune-tellers for advice. He performed witchcraft. He talked to people who consulted the spirits of people who had died to find out what would happen in the future. He did many things that Yahweh considered o be very evil, things that caused Yahweh to become very angry.
Notimo misango kochiwo nyithinde mondo owangʼ e mach e Holo mar Ben Hinom bende noiro ji kendo nogoyo gagi gi timo timbe jwok, kendo nopenjo josepe kod jo-nyakalondo. Notimo timbe maricho mangʼeny e nyim Jehova Nyasaye, omiyo Jehova Nyasaye nokecho.
7 Manasseh took a carved idol [that his workers had made] and put it in the temple. That is the temple concerning which God had said to David and to his son Solomon, “My temple will be here in Jerusalem, the city that I have chosen [where I want people to] worship me, forever.
Nokawo kido mopa mane oloso moketo e hekalu mar Nyasaye mane oyudo Nyasaye osewuoyoe ne Daudi kod wuode Solomon niya, “Aseyiero hekaluni gi Jerusalem e kind ogendini duto mag Israel, kendo abiro keto Nyinga kanyo nyaka chiengʼ.
8 If they will obey all the laws and decrees and regulations that I told Moses to give to them, I will not again force the Israeli people to leave this land that I gave to their ancestors.”
Ka jo-Israel orito chike duto kendo otimo gik moko duto mane achikogi, kendo oluwo buche gi chike duto mane Musa onyisogi, to ok nariembgi e piny mane amiyo kweregi.”
9 But Manasseh led the people of Jerusalem and other places in Judah to do things that are wrong, with the result that they did more evil than was done by the people in the people-groups that Yahweh had expelled as the Israeli people advanced [through the land].
Kata kamano Manase nomiyo jo-Juda kod jo-Jerusalem oweyo Jehova Nyasaye mi gimedo timo timbe maricho moloyo ogendini mane Jehova Nyasaye otieko e nyim jo-Israel.
10 Yahweh spoke to Manasseh and the people of Judah, but they paid no attention.
Jehova Nyasaye nowuoyo kod Manase gi joge to ne ok gidewe.
11 So Yahweh caused the army commanders of Assyria [and their soldiers] to [come to Jerusalem, and they] captured Manasseh. They put a hook in his nose and put bronze chains on his [feet] and took him to Babylon.
Omiyo Jehova Nyasaye nokelonigi jotend jolweny mag ruodh Asuria momako Manase otero e twech kotuch ume kod olowu kendo otweye kod rateke mag mula motere Babulon.
12 There, while he was suffering, he humbled himself greatly in the presence of Yahweh, the God whom his ancestors [worshiped], and pleaded with Yahweh to help him.
Koro e thagruokne nokwayo ngʼwono kuom Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasache kobolore ahinya e nyim Nyasach kwerene.
13 When he prayed, Yahweh heard him and pitied him. So he [allowed him to] return to Jerusalem and [to] rule his kingdom again. Then Manasseh realized that Yahweh is [an all-powerful] God.
Kane okwayo, Jehova Nyasaye noneno bolruokne mowinjo ywakne omiyo nodwoge Jerusalem e pinyruodhe; bangʼe Manase nongʼeyo ni Jehova Nyasaye en Nyasaye.
14 Later, Manasseh’s [workers] rebuilt the eastern section of the outer wall around Jerusalem, and [they] made it higher. That section extended from Gihon Spring [north] to the Fish Gate, and around the part of the city that they called Ophel [Hill]. Manasseh also appointed army officers to guard each of the cities in Judah that had walls around them.
Bangʼe nogero ohinga ma oko mar Dala Maduongʼ mar Daudi yo podho chiengʼ mar aora Gihon manie holo nyaka ochopo kar donjo mar Ranga Rech kendo nolworo got Ofel mogere modhi malo ahinya. Noketo jotend lweny e mier madongo duto mag Juda mochiel motegno gi ohinga.
15 Manasseh’s [workers] removed from the temple the idols and the stone statues of gods of other nations. Manasseh also [told them to] remove the altars that they had previously built on Zion Hill and in [other places in] Jerusalem. He had all those things thrown out of the city.
Nogolo nyiseche manono ma welo kod kido mar nyasaye manono mane ni e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye kaachiel gi kende mag misango miwangʼoe liswa duto mane ogero e got mar hekalu kod Jerusalem kendo nowitogi oko mar dala maduongʼ.
16 Then he [told them to] repair the altar of Yahweh, and he offered sacrifices to restore fellowship with Yahweh and to thank him. And he told [the people of] Judah that they must worship [only] Yahweh.
Bangʼe nochako ogero kendo mar misango mar Jehova Nyasaye kendo notimo misango mar lalruok kod chiwo mag erokamano kuome kowachone Juda mondo otine Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach jo-Israel.
17 The people continued to offer sacrifices on the hilltops, but only to Yahweh their God.
Kata kamano, ji nodhi nyime kod timo misengini e kuonde motingʼore malo mag lemo to negitime ne Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachgi kende.
18 The other things that happened while Manasseh was ruling, including his prayer to God and the messages from Yahweh that the prophets gave to him, are written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
Weche mag ndalo loch Manase kaachiel gi kwayo mane okwayogo Nyasache, kod weche mane jonen nowachone kuom nying Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach jo-Israel ondiki e kitepe mag ruodhi Israel.
19 What Manasseh prayed and how God pitied him because he pleaded to God, and also his sins and ways in which he disobeyed God, and the [list of] places where he built shrines and set up poles to [honor the goddess] Asherah and other idols [before he humbled himself], are written in what the prophets wrote.
Lemo mare kod kaka Nyasaye nowinjo ywakne kaachiel gi richone kod kethone duto kod kuonde manogeroe kuonde motingʼore malo mag lemo kaachiel gi sirni mag Ashera milamo, kod nyiseche manono kapod ok olokore, magi duto ondiki e kitap jonen.
20 Manasseh died and was buried in his palace. Then his son Amon became the king [of Judah].
Manase notho kaka kwerene kendo noyike e ode mar ruoth. Amon wuode nobedo ruoth kare.
21 Amon was 22 years old when he became king, and he ruled in Jerusalem for two years.
Amon ne ja-higni piero ariyo gariyo kane obedo ruoth kendo norito piny kodak Jerusalem kuom higni ariyo.
22 He did things that Yahweh considered to be evil, like his father Manasseh had done. Amon worshiped all the idols that Manasseh’s [workers] had made.
Notimo timbe maricho e wangʼ Jehova Nyasaye mana kaka wuon mare Manase nosetimo. Amon nolamo kendo timo liswa ne nyiseche duto manono mane Manase oseloso.
23 But he did not humble himself and turn to Yahweh like his father did. So he became more sinful than his father had been.
To kopogore gi wuon mare ma Manase ne ok obolore e nyim Jehova Nyasaye nikech nomedo timo gik maricho.
24 Then Amon’s officials made plans to kill him. They assassinated him in his palace.
Jodongo mag Amon nowinjore monego ruoth e kar dakne.
25 But then the people of Judah killed all those who had assassinated Amon, and they appointed his son Josiah to be their king.
Eka jopinyno noriwore monego jogo duto mane onego ruoth Amon kendo negiketo Josia wuode obedo ruoth kare.
