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.
Roa ambin’ ny folo taona Manase, fony izy vao nanjaka, ary dimy amby dimam-polo taona no nanjakany tany Jerosalema. Ary ny anaran-dreniny dia Hefziba.
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].
Ary nanao izay ratsy eo imason’ i Jehovah izy tahaka ny fahavetavetan’ ny firenena izay noroahin’ i Jehovah tsy ho eo anoloan’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely.
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.
Fa namboariny indray ny fitoerana avo, izay noravan’ i Hezekia rainy, ka nanangana alitara ho an’ i Bala izy sady nanao Aseraha, tahaka izay nataon’ i Ahaba, mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely; ary niankohoka teo anatrehan’ izay rehetra eny amin’ ny lanitra izy ka nanompo ireny,
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.”
sady nanao alitara tao an-tranon’ i Jehovah koa izy, dia tao amin’ izay nolazain’ i Jehovah hoe: Ao Jerosalema no hasiako ny anarako.
5 He directed that altars for worshiping the stars be built in both of the courtyards outside the temple.
Fa nanao alitara teo anatin’ ny kianja roa tamin’ ny tranon’ i Jehovah ho an’ izay rehetra eny amin’ ny lanitra izy.
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.
Ary ny zanany nampamakiny ny afo, sady nanandro sy nanao sikidy izy ary naka ny manao azy ho tsindrian-javatra sy ny mpanao hatsarana, ary nahery nanao izay ratsy eo imason’ i Jehovah izy ka nampahatezitra Azy.
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.
Ary ny sarin’ i Astarta izay nataony dia napetrany tao amin’ ny trano nolazain’ i Jehovah tamin’ i Davida sy Solomona zanany hoe: Ato amin’ ity trano ity sy eto Jerosalema, izay nofidiko tamin’ ny firenen’ Isiraely rehetra, no hasiako ny anarako mandrakizay.
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.”
Ary tsy hampandeha ny tongotry ny Isiraely intsony hiala amin’ ny tany izay nomeko ny razany Aho, raha mba hitandrina ka hanao araka izay rehetra nandidiako azy sy araka ny lalàna rehetra izay nandidian’ i Mosesy mpanompoko azy ihany izy.
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.
Nefa tsy nihaino izy; fa Manase nitaona azy hanao ratsy mihoatra noho ny nataon’ ny jentilisa, izay naringan’ i Jehovah tsy ho eo anoloan’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely.
10 [These are some of the things that] the prophets said many times, messages that Yahweh had given them:
Ary Jehovah nampilaza ny mpaminany mpanompony hoe:
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.
Satria Manase, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, nanao izao fahavetavetana izao ka nanao ratsy mihoatra noho izay rehetra nataon’ ny Amorita izay teo alohany sady nampanota ny Joda tamin’ ny sampiny,
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].
dia izao kosa no lazain’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely: Indro, hahatonga loza amin’ i Jerosalema sy ny Joda Aho, ka izay rehetra mandre izany dia hangintsingintsina ny sofiny roa.
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].
Ary hohenjaniko ato Jerosalema ny famolainan’ i Samaria sy ny pilaon’ ny taranak’ i Ahaba; ary hamaoka an’ i Jerosalema Aho, toy ny olona mamaoka lovia ka sady mamaoka no manohoka azy koa.
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.
Ary hafoiko ny lovako sisa ka hatolotro ho eo an-tànan’ ny fahavalony; dia ho sambotra sy ho babon’ ny fahavalony rehetra izy,
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.”
satria efa nanao izay ratsy eo imasoko izy ka nampahatezitra Ahy hatramin’ ny andro nivoahan’ ny razany avy any Egypta ka mandraka androany.
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].
Ary na dia ny rà marina aza dia nalatsak’ i Manase be dia be mandra-pamenony an’ i Jerosalema rehetra, ho fanampin’ ny ota izay nampanotany ny Joda tamin’ ny nanaovany izay ratsy eo imason’ i Jehovah.
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’.
Ary ny tantaran’ i Manase sisa mbamin’ izay rehetra nataony sy ny fahotana izay nataony, tsy efa voasoratra ao amin’ ny bokin’ ny tantaran’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Joda va izany?
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.
Ary Manase lasa nodi-mandry any amin’ ny razany, dia nalevina teo an-tanimboly eo ala-tranony amin’ ny sahan’ i Oza; ary Amona zanany no nanjaka nandimby azy.
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.
Roa amby roa-polo taona Amona, fony izy vao nanjaka, ary roa taona no nanjakany tany Jerosalema, Ary ny anaran-dreniny dia Mesolemeta, zanakavavin’ i Haroza, avy any Jotba.
20 Amon did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil, like his father Manasseh had done.
Ary nanao izay ratsy eo imason’ i Jehovah koa izy tahaka ny nataon’ i Manase rainy.
21 He imitated the behavior of his father, and he worshiped the same idols that his father had worshiped [DOU].
Fa nandeha tamin’ ny lalana rehetra izay efa nalehan-drainy izy ka nanompo ny sampy izay notompoin-drainy sady niankohoka teo anatrehany.
22 He abandoned Yahweh, the God whom his ancestors [had worshiped], and did not behave as Yahweh wanted him to.
Ary nahafoy an’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny razany, izy, fa tsy nandeha tamin’ ny lalan’ i Jehovah.
23 Then one day some of his officials plotted to kill him. They assassinated him in the palace.
Ary ny mpanompon’ i Amona mpanjaka nikomy taminy ka namono azy tao an-tranony.
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.
Ary ny vahoaka namono izay rehetra nikomy tamin’ i Amona mpanjaka, dia nampanjaka an’ i Josia zanany hisolo azy.
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’.
Ary ny tantaran’ i Amona sisa, tsy efa voasoratra ao amin’ ny bokin’ ny tantaran’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Joda va izany?
26 Amon was also buried in the tomb in the garden that Uzza [had made]. Then Amon’s son Josiah became the king.
Ary nalevina tao amin’ ny fasany tao amin’ ny sahan’ i Oza izy; ary Josia zanany no nanjaka nandimby azy.
