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 azalaki na mibu zomi na mibale ya mbotama tango akomaki mokonzi, mpe akonzaki mibu tuku mitano na mitano na Yelusalemi.
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].
Asalaki makambo mabe na miso ya Yawe na ndenge amekolaki misala ya nkele ya bikolo oyo Yawe abenganaki liboso ya bato ya Isalaele.
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.
Atongaki lisusu bisambelo ya likolo ya bangomba oyo Ezekiasi, tata na ye, abukaki; atongaki mpe bitumbelo mpo na banzambe Bala mpe atelemisaki makonzi mpo na nzambe mwasi Ashera. Afukamelaki mpe agumbamelaki mampinga nyonso ya likolo.
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.”
Atongaki bitumbelo mpo na banzambe ya bapaya kati na Tempelo ya Yawe oyo, na tina na yango, Yawe alobaki: « Kombo na Ngai ekozala kati na Yelusalemi mpo na libela. »
5 He directed that altars for [worshiping] all the stars be built in both of the courtyards outside the temple.
Atongaki kati na mapango nyonso mibale ya Tempelo ya Yawe bitumbelo mpo na mampinga nyonso ya likolo.
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.
Manase abonzaki na moto, lokola mbeka, bana na ye ya mibali, kati na Lubwaku ya Beni-Inomi; asalelaki kindoki, soloka mpe maji; atiaki na mosala bato oyo basololaka na milimo ya bakufi mpe bamoni makambo. Akobaki kosala makambo mabe na miso ya Yawe; na bongo, apelisaki kanda na Ye.
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.
Atiaki kati na Tempelo ya Yawe nzambe ya ekeko oyo asalisaki; nzokande, Nzambe alobaki na Davidi mpe na Salomo, mwana na ye ya mobali: — Nakotia Kombo na Ngai mpo na libela kati na Tempelo oyo mpe kati na Yelusalemi oyo naponi kati na mabota nyonso ya Isalaele.
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.”
Nakolongola lisusu te makolo ya bato ya Isalaele na mokili oyo napesaki epai ya batata na bango, soki kaka bamipesi na kosala makambo nyonso oyo natindaki bango na tina na mibeko nyonso, mitindo mpe malako oyo napesaki bango na nzela ya Moyize.
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].
Kasi Manase apengwisaki bato ya Yuda mpe ya Yelusalemi; boye basalaki lisusu mabe koleka bikolo oyo Yawe abebisaki liboso ya bato ya Isalaele.
10 Yahweh spoke to Manasseh and the people of Judah, but they paid no attention.
Yawe akebisaki Manase mpe bato na Ye, kasi baboyaki koyoka.
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.
Bongo Yawe atindaki bakonzi ya basoda ya mokonzi ya Asiri kobundisa bango. Bakangaki Manase mpe bakotisaki na zolo na ye ebende oyo ezali lokola ndobo, bakangaki ye minyololo ya bronze mpe bamemaki ye na Babiloni.
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.
Kati na pasi na ye, Manase abondelaki Yawe, Nzambe na ye, mpe amikitisaki makasi liboso ya Nzambe ya batata na ye.
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.
Abondelaki Ye, mpe Yawe alembisaki motema, ayokaki libondeli na ye mpe azongisaki ye na Yelusalemi, kati na mokili na ye. Manase asosolaki ete Yawe kaka nde azali Nzambe.
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.
Sima na makambo oyo nyonso, Manase atongaki mir, na libanda ya engumba ya Davidi, na ngambo ya weste ya etima ya Giyoni, na lubwaku oyo ekenda kino na ekuke ya Mbisi; ezingelaki ngomba moke ya Ofeli. Asalaki yango molayi makasi, kobanda na se kino na likolo, mpe atiaki bakonzi ya basoda kati na bingumba nyonso ya Yuda, oyo batonga makasi.
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.
Alongolaki kati na Tempelo ya Yawe banzambe ya bapaya mpe ya bikeko, abwakaki libanda ya engumba bitumbelo nyonso oyo atongaki na ngomba moke ya Tempelo mpe kati na Yelusalemi.
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.
Bongo atongaki lisusu etumbelo ya Yawe, abonzaki na likolo na yango mbeka ya boyokani elongo na makabo ya kozongisa matondi epai ya Nzambe, mpe apesaki mitindo epai ya bato ya Yuda ete basalela Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele.
17 The people continued to offer sacrifices on the hilltops, but only to Yahweh their God.
Atako bato bakobaki kotumba bambeka na bisambelo ya likolo ya bangomba, kasi bazalaki kosala yango kaka mpo na lokumu ya Yawe, Nzambe na bango.
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’.
Makambo mosusu oyo etali bokonzi ya Manase, libondeli na ye epai ya Nzambe na ye mpe maloba oyo bamoni makambo balobaki na ye na Kombo na Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, ekomama kati na buku ya masolo ya bakonzi ya Isalaele.
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.
Libondeli na ye mpe ndenge Yawe alimbisaki mabe na ye, masumu na ye nyonso, bozangi boyengebene na ye epai ya Nzambe, molongo ya bisika nyonso epai wapi atongaki bisambelo ya likolo ya bangomba mpe atelemisaki makonzi ya nzambe mwasi Ashera elongo na bikeko ya banzambe oyo azalaki kofukamela liboso ete ayokisama soni, nyonso wana ekomama kati na mikanda ya Ozayi.
20 Manasseh died and was buried in his palace. Then his son Amon became the king [of Judah].
Manase akendeki kokutana na bakoko na ye, mpe bakundaki ye kati na ndako na ye ya bokonzi. Amoni, mwana na ye ya mobali, akitanaki na ye na bokonzi.
21 Amon was 22 years old when he became king, and he ruled in Jerusalem for two years.
Amoni azalaki na mibu tuku mibale na mibale ya mbotama tango akomaki mokonzi, mpe akonzaki mibu mibale na Yelusalemi.
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.
Amoni asalaki makambo mabe na miso ya Yawe, ndenge kaka Manase, tata na ye, asalaki; agumbamelaki banzambe nyonso ya bikeko oyo Manase, tata na ye, asalaki mpe abonzelaki yango bambeka.
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.
Amoni amikitisaki te lokola Manase, tata na ye, liboso ya Yawe, kasi asalaki lisusu mabe koleka.
24 Then Amon’s officials made plans to kill him. They assassinated him in his palace.
Bakalaka na ye basalelaki ye likita mpe babomaki ye kati na ndako na ye ya bokonzi.
25 But then the people of Judah killed all those who had assassinated Amon, and they appointed his son Josiah to be their king.
Kasi bato ya mokili babomaki bato nyonso oyo basalelaki mokonzi Amoni likita; mpe na esika na ye, bakomisaki Joziasi, mwana na ye ya mobali, mokonzi.
