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.

१मनश्शे राज्य करु लागला तेव्हा तो बारा वर्षांचा होता. त्याने यरूशलेमेवर पंचावन्न वर्षे, राज्य केले. त्याच्या आईचे नाव हेफसीबा.

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].

२परमेश्वराने जे करु नका म्हणून सांगितले तेच त्याने केले. इतर राष्ट्रे करत तसे अमंगळ आचरण मनश्शेने केले (आणि इस्राएली आले त्यावेळी याच राष्ट्रांना परमेश्वराने तेथून हुसकून लावले होते.)

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.

३हिज्कीयाने नष्ट केलेली उंचस्थानावरील पूजास्थळे मनश्शेने पुन्हा बांधली, तसेच त्याने बआलदेवतेसाठी वेदी बांधली आणि इस्राएलचा राजा अहाब याच्याप्रमाणे अशेरा देवीचे स्तंभ उभारले. मनश्शे नक्षत्रांची ही पूजा करत असे.

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.”

४आणि ज्याविषयी परमेश्वराने सांगितले होते की, “मी आपले नाव यरूशलेमेत ठेवीन,” तेथे परमेश्वराच्या घरात मनश्शेने वेद्या बांधल्या.

5 He directed that altars for worshiping the stars be built in both of the courtyards outside the temple.

५या खेरीज परमेश्वराच्या मंदिराच्या दोन्ही चौकांत मनश्शेने आकाशातील नक्षत्रांसाठी वेद्या बांधल्या.

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.

६आपल्या मुलाचाच बली देऊन मनश्शेने त्यास वेदीवर जाळले. जादूटोणा, मंत्रतंत्र, भूतवैद्य यांच्यामार्फत भविष्य जाणून घ्यायचा मनश्शेला नाद होता. परमेश्वराने जे जे गैर म्हणून सांगितले ते ते मनश्शे करत गेला. त्याने परमेश्वराचा कोप झाला.

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.

७मनश्शेने अशेराचा कोरीव पुतळा करून तो मंदिरात ठेवला. या मंदिराविषयी दावीद आणि दाविदाचा मुलगा शलमोन यांना परमेश्वर म्हणाला होता, “इस्राएलमधील सर्व वंशातून, या नगरांमधून मी यरूशलेमची निवड केली आहे. यरूशलेममधील मंदिरात मी माझे नाव कायमचे ठेवीन.

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.”

८इस्राएल लोकांस या भूमीतून बाहेर पडावे लागू नये याची मी दक्षता घेईल. माझ्या सर्व आज्ञा तसेच मोशेची शिकवण त्यांनी तंतोतंत पाळली, तर त्यांची इथेच या भूमीत वस्ती राहील.”

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.

९पण लोकांनी परमेश्वराचे ऐकले नाही. इस्राएल लोक इथे येण्यापूर्वी कनानमधील राष्ट्रांनी जी वाईट वर्तणूक केली त्यापेक्षाही मनश्शेचे वर्तन निंद्य होते. इस्राएल लोक या भूमीत आले तेव्हा त्या राष्ट्रांना परमेश्वराने नष्ट केले होते.

10 [These are some of the things that] the prophets said many times, messages that Yahweh had given them:

१०तेव्हा परमेश्वराने आपल्या सेवक संदेष्ट्यांना हे सांगायला सांगितले,

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.

११“यहूद्यांचा राजा मनश्शे याने अत्यंत निंद्य कृत्ये केली आहेत. त्याच्या आधीच्या अमोऱ्यापेक्षाही याचे वागणे भयंकर आहे. त्याच्या त्या मूर्तीपुढे त्याने यहूदालाही पाप करायला लावले आहे.

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].

१२तेव्हा इस्राएलाचा परमेश्वर म्हणतो, ‘यरूशलेम आणि यहूदा यांना मी आता अशा संकटाच्या खाईत लोटीन की ते ऐकूनच लोकांस धक्का बसेल.

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].

१३शोमरोनचे मापनसूत्र आणि अहाबाच्या घराण्याचा ओळंबा मी यरूशलेमेवर धरीन. थाळी घासूनपुसून पालथी करून ठेवावी तशी मी यरूशलेमची गत करीन.

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.

१४मी आपल्या वतनांतल्या राहिलेल्यांचा त्याग करून त्यांना त्यांच्या शत्रूच्या ताब्यात देईन. ते त्यांना युध्दातील लुटीप्रमाणे व भक्ष्य असे होतील.

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.”

१५मी जे जे करु नका म्हणून बजावले ते ते त्यांनी केले त्याचे हे फळ होय. यांचे पूर्वज मिसरमधून बाहेर पडले, त्या दिवसापासूनच यांनी मला संताप आणला आहे.

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].

१६शिवाय मनश्शेने अनेक निरपराध्यांची हत्या केली. संपूर्ण यरूशलेम त्याने रक्तलांछित केले. यहूद्यांना त्याने जी पापे करायला लावली ती वेगळीच. परमेश्वराने जे करु नका म्हणून सांगितले ते मनश्शेने यहूदाला करायला लावले.”

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’.

१७मनश्शेची पापे आणि इतर कृत्ये यहूदाच्या राजांचा इतिहास, या पुस्तकात लिहिलेली आहेत.

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.

१८मनश्शे मरण पावला आणि त्याचे आपल्या पूर्वजांच्या शेजारी दफन झाले. आपल्या घराच्या बगीच्यात त्यास पुरले. या बागेचे नाव “उज्जाची बाग” त्याच्या जागी त्याचा मुलगा आमोन राज्य करु लागला.

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.

१९आमोन राज्य करु लागला तेव्हा बावीस वर्षांचा होता. त्याने यरूशलेमेवर दोन वर्षे राज्य केले. याच्या आईचे नाव मशुल्लेमेथ ही यटबा येथील हारुस याची मुलगी.

20 Amon did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil, like his father Manasseh had done.

२०आपले वडिल मनश्शे यांच्याप्रमाणेच आमोननेही परमेश्वराच्या दृष्टीने गैर कृत्ये केली.

21 He imitated the behavior of his father, and he worshiped the same idols that his father had worshiped [DOU].

२१तो आपल्या वडिलांसारखाच होता. वडिलांनी ज्या देवतांची पूजाअर्चा केली त्यांचीच पूजा आमोननेही आरंभली.

22 He abandoned Yahweh, the God whom his ancestors [had worshiped], and did not behave as Yahweh wanted him to.

२२आपल्या पूर्वजांचा परमेश्वर देव याचा मार्ग त्याने सोडला आणि परमेश्वराच्या इच्छेविरुध्द वागला.

23 Then one day some of his officials plotted to kill him. They assassinated him in the palace.

२३आमोनच्या सेवकांनी त्याच्याविरुध्द कट करून त्याच्या घरातच राजाला ठार केले.

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.

२४आणि ज्यांनी आमोनशी फितुरी केली, त्या सेवकांना देशातील लोकांनी जिवे मारले. मग आमोनचा मुलगा योशीया याला लोकांनी राजा केले.

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’.

२५आमोनने जी इतर कृत्ये केली ती सर्व “यहूदाच्या राजांचा इतिहास” या पुस्तकात लिहून ठेवलेली आहेत.

26 Amon was also buried in the tomb in the garden that Uzza [had made]. Then Amon’s son Josiah became the king.

२६उज्जाच्या बागेत आमोनचे दफन करण्यात आले. आमोनचा मुलगा योशीया राजा झाला.
