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 chu leng ahungchan chun ama kum somle kumni alhingbep in ahi. Amahin kum som nga le nga geijin vai ahom’in ahi. Anu min chu Hephzibah ahi.
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].
Amahin Pakai mitmu’n thilse jing anabollin ahi. Amahin Pathen in Israelte masanga ana nodoh pathen neilou nam mite thet umtah chonna ho chu anajuijin ahi.
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.
Apa Hezekiah in ana suhmang pathen neilouho doiphung chu atungdoh kit’in ahi. Aman Baal maicham jong asemdoh kit’in, chule Asherah doikhomjong atungdoh kit’in Israel lengpa Ahab bol tobang bangin in abollin ahi. Vanthamjolla thaneiho jouse anga ana bohkhup’in chuleh hiche hochu ahouvin ahi.
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.”
Pakaiyin “Jerusalem’ah kamin umden jing ding ahi,” ana tina Pakai houin mun’ah, pathen neilouho maicham ana semdoh in ahi.
5 He directed that altars for worshiping the stars be built in both of the courtyards outside the temple.
Aman hiche van thanei ho pathen doiphung hole maicham phungho jouse Pakai houin mun jousea ana thah tundoh kit in ahi.
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.
Manasseh in ama cha tahbeh jeng jong doi pathen ho hounan anakatdoh in, meiya ana gouvin, themka pou ana dongin, ai-lhimpou anabollin, gaochang miho jong atahsan in, mitphel doithem hopou anamang chan ahi. Hitihin aman Pakai mitmu’n thilse jeng ana bollin Pakai chu ana sulung hangin ahi.
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.
Manasseh hin Asherah semthu pathen lim jeng jong ana sem’in, Pakaiyin David leh achapa Solomon anaseipeh na mun laitah houin sunga chun ana tungdoh in ahi. “Israel phungho jouse lah a kona kana lhendoh Jerusalem khopi leh a houin nahi kamin hi atonsot na kijajing ding ahi,” anati ahi.
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.”
Israelte hin chingthei tah a kathupeh holeh kasohpa Mose kana pehsa kadan sem hohi anit sohkei uva ahileh keiman apu apateu kanapeh gamsunga kona gamdanga sohchanga kasoldoh louhel diu ahi.
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.
Ahinlah hiche mipite hin sei angai pouvin, chuleh Manasseh chun Israelte gamtepgam agalut’un, Pathen in ana suhmang Pathen neilou namdangte sanga thilsejo Manasseh in ana bolsah in ahi.
10 [These are some of the things that] the prophets said many times, messages that Yahweh had given them:
Hiche jouchun Pakaiyin alhachate themgao ho mangchan thu ana seijin ahi.
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.
“Judahte lengpa Manasseh in thet um tahtah thil tamtah ana boldoh in ahi. Israelte hiche gam’a achenlut masang uva anacheng Amor mite sangin thilsejo ana boldoh in ahi. Aman Judah mitehi milim semthu doilim houna a ana chonset sah in ahi,” ati.
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].
Hijeh chun hichehi Israel Pakai Pathen chun hitin aseije, “Keiman Israelte Judah mipite chunga kahinpoh lutding hamsetna hi ajachan jouse tijatna kihot ling gamdiu ahi,” ati.
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].
“Keiman Jerusalem chunga thu katanding hi Samaria chungle Ahab insung mite chunga kanatanbang banga katantoh chet ding ahi. Keiman Jerusalem mipite chu min annehna kong akhup athalla asop banga kasuhmang ding ahi,” ati.
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.
“Hijouteng chule kamite amoh chengse jeng jong kapaidoh ding chuleh agalmi teuvin achom gam diuva kapehdoh ding ahi,” ati.
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.”
“Ajeh chu amahon kamitmu’n thilse jeng abolluvin, Egypt akona apu apateu kahin puidoh apat tunigei hin eilunghansah jing jeng un ahi,” ati.
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].
Manasseh in themmo nabei mitamtah athat’in, Jerusalem ning langkhatna konin ning langkhat geijin themmona bei thisan adimset tokah in athat that jing in ahi. Hiche hi aman Judahte achonsetsah chungchonna chonset abolbesah nahlai chu ahin, hitia hi Pakai mitmua thilse bolna a anapuilut jing ahi.
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 in avaihom sunga thilsoh adangho jouse chuleh anatoh athibolho jouse, athilse bol ho jouse pum’in, Judah lengte thusimbu kijihna lekhabua aum’in ahi.
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 athiphat’in, Uzza hon leng inpi hon sunga chun anavui tauvin ahi. Hijouchun achapa Amon nin lengmun ahinlo tan ahi.
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 chu leng ahung chan chun ama kum somni le ni alhin in chuleh aman Jerusalem’ah kum ni sung lengvai ana po in ahi. Anu chu Meshullemeth, Jotbah khopi akon Haruz chanu ahi.
20 Amon did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil, like his father Manasseh had done.
Amahin apa bol bol ana bollin, apan milimdoi ho ana hou ho mama chu ana houvin ahi.
21 He imitated the behavior of his father, and he worshiped the same idols that his father had worshiped [DOU].
Amahin apa Manasseh in anabolbang bangin Pakai mitmu’n thilse jing ana bollin ahi.
22 He abandoned Yahweh, the God whom his ancestors [had worshiped], and did not behave as Yahweh wanted him to.
Aman apu apte Pathen Pakai ana paidoh in, Pakai lampi chu anajui nompon ahi.
23 Then one day some of his officials plotted to kill him. They assassinated him in the palace.
Hiti chun Amon noija natong pipui ho chun ama dounan tohgon ana neijun aleng inpi sunga ana that tauvin ahi.
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.
Ahinlah agamsung mipiten Amon lengpa douna tohgon ananei ho jouse chu ana that gam’un chuleh amahon achapa Josiah chu leng mun analosah tauvin ahi.
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 vaihom sunga anasoh thildang ho jouse chuleh anatoh thilbol hojouse Judah lengte thusimbu kijihna lekhabua aum’in ahi.
26 Amon was also buried in the tomb in the garden that Uzza [had made]. Then Amon’s son Josiah became the king.
Amachu Uzza honsung lhan nachun. Anavui taovin ahi. Hijouchun achapa Josiah chu leng ahung chang tai.
