2 Kings 21
1 Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to rule. He ruled Judah for 55 years from Jerusalem. His mother was Hephzibah.
Manasseh a manghai vaengah kum hlai nit ni a lo ca pueng tih Jerusalem ah kum sawmnga kum nga manghai. A manu ming tah Hephzibah ni.
2 He did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil. He imitated the disgusting things that were formerly done by the people of the nations that Yahweh had expelled from the land of Israel as his people advanced [through the land].
BOEIPA loh Israel ca rhoek mikhmuh lamkah a haek namtom rhoek kah tueilaehkoi bangla BOEIPA mikhmuh ah boethae a saii.
3 He commanded his workers to rebuild the shrines [for worshiping Yahweh] that his father Hezekiah had destroyed [because they were not in the place that Yahweh had said they should worship him]. He directed his workers to build altars for worshiping Baal. He made [a statue of the goddess] Asherah, like Ahab the king of Israel had done [previously]. And Manasseh worshiped [DOU] the stars.
Mael tih a napa Hezekiah loh a phae hmuensang te a sak. Baal ham hmueihtuk a thoh tih Israel manghai Ahab kah a saii bangla Asherah te a saii. Vaan kah caempuei cungkuem taengah bakop tih te rhoek taengah tho a thueng.
4 He directed his workers to build altars [for worshiping foreign gods] in the temple of Yahweh, about which Yahweh had said, “It is here in Jerusalem where I want people to worship [MTY] me, forever.”
BOEIPA loh, “Ka ming he Jerusalem ah ni ka khueh eh?,” a ti vanbangla BOEIPA im ah hmueihtuk a suem.
5 He directed that altars for worshiping the stars be built in both of the courtyards outside the temple.
BOEIPA im kah vongup rhoi ah vaan caempuei cungkuem ham hmueihtuk a suem pah.
6 He even sacrificed his own son by burning [him in a fire]. He performed rituals to practice sorcery and magic rituals. He also went to people who consulted the spirits of dead people to find out what would happen in the future. He did many things that Yahweh considered to be extremely evil, things that caused Yahweh to become very angry.
A ca te hmai dongah a kat sak. Kutyaek a sawt tih lung a sawt. Rhaitonghma a dawt tih a mikhmuh ah boethae saii ham neh BOEIPA veet ham te hnam la tlung.
7 He placed the statue of the goddess Asherah in the temple, the place about which Yahweh had said to David and his son Solomon, “My temple will be here in Jerusalem. This is the city that I have chosen from all the territory of the twelve tribes of Israel, where I want people to worship me, forever.
Asherah mueithuk a saii te im ah a khueh. Te te BOEIPA loh a ca David taeng neh Solomon taengah tah, “He im khui neh Israel koca cungkuem lamloh ka coelh Jerusalem ah he kumhal duela ka ming ka khueh ni.
8 And if the Israeli people obey all my commands and all the laws that I gave to Moses, the man who served me [very well], I will not again force them to leave this land that I gave to their ancestors.”
A cungkuem dongah amih ka uen bangla saii ham a ngaithuen uh mak atah a napa rhoek taengah ka paek khohmuen lamloh Israel kah khokan rhaehba sak ham ka khoep mahpawh. Te dongah a cungkuem dongkah olkhueng te ka sal Moses loh amih a uen coeng,” a ti nah.
9 But the people did not heed Yahweh. And Manasseh persuaded them to commit sins that are more evil than the sins that were committed by the people of the nations that Yahweh had expelled from the land as the Israeli people advanced.
Tedae a ngai uh pawt dongah Manasseh loh amih kho a hmang sak. Te dongah BOEIPA loh Israel ca rhoek mikhmuh lamkah a milh sak namtom rhoek lakah boethae a saii.
10 [These are some of the things that] the prophets said many times, messages that Yahweh had given them:
BOEIPA loh a sal, tonghma rhoek kut ah a thui tih,
11 “Manasseh, the king of Judah, has done these abominable things, things that are much worse than the things that the Amor people-group did in this land long ago. He has persuaded the people of Judah to sin by [worshiping] idols.
“Judah manghai Manasseh loh tueilaehkoi a saii vanbangla te rhoek te a mikhmuh kah Amori rhoek loh a saii boeih lakah khaw thae. Te dongah Judah khaw a mueirhol neh a tholh sak.
12 Therefore, this is what I, Yahweh, the God whom you Israeli people worship, say: I will the cause the people of Jerusalem and the rest of Judah to experience great disasters. It will be terrible, with the result that everyone who hears about it will be stunned [MTY].
Te dongah ni Israel Pathen BOEIPA loh he he a thui. Kai loh Jerusalem neh Judah soah boethae ka khuen pah coeng. Te te aka ya la aka ya boeih tah a hna rhoi te umya uh bitni.
13 I will judge and punish [MET] the people of Jerusalem like I punished the family of King Ahab [of Israel]. I will (wipe Jerusalem clean/remove all the people from Jerusalem), like [MET] people wipe a plate and then turn it upside down [after they have finished eating, to show that they are now satisfied].
Jerusalem soah Samaria rhilam neh Ahab im kah mikrhael ka toe ni. Bael a huih, a huih tih a hmai long a bueng bangla Jerusalem te ka huih ni.
14 And I will abandon the people who remain alive, and I will allow their enemies to conquer them and steal everything valuable from their land.
Ka rho kah a meet te ka phap vetih amih te a thunkha kut ah ka paek ni. Te vaengah a thunkha cungkuem taengah maeh neh maehbuem la om uh ni.
15 I will do this because my people have done things that I consider to be very evil, things which have caused me to become very angry. They have caused me to become angry continually, ever since their ancestors left Egypt.”
Ka mikhmuh ah boethae a saii uh tih a napa rhoek Egypt lamkah a caeh uh khohnin lamloh tahae khohnin hil kai aka veet la om uh,” a ti nah.
16 Manasseh [commanded his officials to] kill many innocent people in Jerusalem, with the result that their blood flowed in the streets. He did this in addition to persuading the people of Judah to sin against Yahweh [by worshiping idols].
Ommongsitoe thii khaw Manasseh loh muep a long sak aih. Jerusalem a hmoi lamloh a hmoi hil a li sak. Amah kah tholhnah bueng kolla BOEIPA mikhmuh ah boethae saii hamla Judah te a tholh sak.
17 [If you want to know more about] all the things that Manasseh did, they are written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.
Manasseh kah ol noi neh a cungkuem a saii te khaw, a tholhnah neh a tholh te khaw, Judah manghai rhoek kah khokhuen olka cabu dongah a daek uh moenih a?
18 Manasseh died [EUP] and was buried in the garden outside his palace, the garden that Uzza [had made]. Then Manasseh’s son Amon became the king.
Manasseh te a napa rhoek taengla a khoem uh vaengah tah amah im kah dum, Uzzah dum ah a up uh. Te phoeiah a capa Amon te anih yueng la manghai.
19 Amon was twenty-two years old when he became king. He ruled Judah from Jerusalem for [only] two years. His mother’s name was Meshullemeth. She was from Jotbah [town], and was the granddaughter of Haruz.
Amon he kum kul kum nit a lo ca vaengah manghai tih Jerusalem ah kum nit manghai. A manu ming tah Jotbah lamkah Haruz canu Meshullemeth ni.
20 Amon did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil, like his father Manasseh had done.
A napa Manasseh kah a saii bangla BOEIPA mikhmuh ah thae a saii bal.
21 He imitated the behavior of his father, and he worshiped the same idols that his father had worshiped [DOU].
A napa kah a pongpa bangla longpuei cungkuem ah pongpa. A napa kah thothueng bangla mueirhol taengah tho a thueng tih te rhoek taengah bakop.
22 He abandoned Yahweh, the God whom his ancestors [had worshiped], and did not behave as Yahweh wanted him to.
A napa rhoek kah Pathen BOEIPA te a hnoo tih BOEIPA kah longpuei ah pongpa pawh.
23 Then one day some of his officials plotted to kill him. They assassinated him in the palace.
Tedae anih te Amon sal rhoek loh a taeng tih manghai te amah im ah a duek sakuh.
24 But then the people of Judah killed all those who had assassinated King Amon, and they appointed his son Josiah to be their king.
Te dongah Amon manghai aka taeng boeih te khohmuen pilnam loh a ngawn. Te phoeiah tah khohmuen pilnam loh a capa Josiah te anih yueng la a manghai sakuh.
25 [If you want to read about] [RHQ] the other things that Amon did, they are written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.
Amon kah ol noi neh a saii te Judah manghai rhoek kah khokhuen olka cabu dongah a daek uh moenih a?
26 Amon was also buried in the tomb in the garden that Uzza [had made]. Then Amon’s son Josiah became the king.
Anih te Uzzah dum kah amah phuel ah a up. Te phoeiah a capa Josiah te anih yueng la manghai.
