2 Kings 21
1 Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Hephzibah.
Manase anakhala mfumu ali ndi zaka khumi ndi ziwiri ndipo analamulira mu Yerusalemu zaka 55. Amayi ake anali Hefiziba.
2 He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, after the abominations of the nations whom the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.
Iye anachita zoyipa pamaso pa Yehova, potsatira mchitidwe wonyansa wa mitundu imene Yehova anayipirikitsa pofika Aisraeli.
3 For he built again the high places which Hezekiah his father had destroyed; and he raised up altars for Baal, and made an Asherah, as Ahab king of Israel did, and worshiped all the army of the sky, and served them.
Iyetu anamanganso malo opembedzera mafano amene Hezekiya abambo ake anawawononga. Anamangira Baala maguwa a nsembe ndi mtengo wa fano la Asera monga anachitira Ahabu mfumu ya Israeli ndipo ankapembedza zolengedwa zonse zamlengalenga.
4 He built altars in the LORD’s house, of which the LORD said, “I will put my name in Jerusalem.”
Anamanga maguwa ansembewa mʼNyumba ya Yehova, mʼmene Yehova ananena kuti, “Mu Yerusalemu ndidzayikamo Dzina langa.”
5 He built altars for all the army of the sky in the two courts of the LORD’s house.
Mʼmabwalo onse awiri a Nyumba ya Yehova, Manase anamangamo maguwa opembedzerapo zinthu zamlengalenga.
6 He made his son to pass through the fire, practiced sorcery, used enchantments, and dealt with those who had familiar spirits and with wizards. He did much evil in the LORD’s sight, to provoke him to anger.
Iye anapsereza mwana wake pa moto ngati nsembe, ankachita za matsenga, ankawombeza mawula, ankapita kwa woyankhula ndi mizimu ya anthu akufa ndiponso ankapembedza mizimu. Iyeyo anachita zoyipa zambiri pamaso pa Yehova ndipo anakwiyitsa Yehovayo.
7 He set the engraved image of Asherah that he had made in the house of which the LORD said to David and to Solomon his son, “In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, I will put my name forever;
Iye anatenga fano losema la Asera limene analipanga ndi kuliyika mʼNyumba ya Yehova, Nyumba imene Yehova ananena kwa Davide ndi mwana wake Solomoni kuti, “Mʼnyumba iyi ndi mu Yerusalemu ndiwo malo amene ndasankha pakati pa mafuko onse a Aisraeli kuyikamo Dzina langa kwamuyaya.
8 I will not cause the feet of Israel to wander any more out of the land which I gave their fathers, if only they will observe to do according to all that I have commanded them, and according to all the law that my servant Moses commanded them.”
Sindidzalola kuti Aisraeli achotsedwe mʼdziko lawo limene ndinapatsa makolo awo ngati iwowo adzasamala kuchita zinthu zonse zimene ndinawalamula ndi kusunga malamulo onse amene mtumiki wanga Mose anawapatsa.”
9 But they didn’t listen, and Manasseh seduced them to do that which is evil more than the nations did whom the LORD destroyed before the children of Israel.
Koma anthu sanamvere. Manase anawasocheretsa, kotero kuti anachita zoyipa zambiri kupambana anthu a mitundu ina amene Yehova anawawononga pamene Aisraeli ankafika.
10 The LORD spoke by his servants the prophets, saying,
Yehova anayankhula kudzera mwa atumiki ake, aneneri kuti,
11 “Because Manasseh king of Judah has done these abominations, and has done wickedly above all that the Amorites did, who were before him, and has also made Judah to sin with his idols;
“Manase mfumu ya Yuda wachita machimo onyansawa ndipo wachita zoyipa kupambana Aamori amene analipo kale iye asanabadwe ndi kuchimwitsa anthu a ku Yuda ndi mafano ake.
12 therefore the LORD the God of Israel says, ‘Behold, I will bring such evil on Jerusalem and Judah that whoever hears of it, both his ears will tingle.
Choncho Yehova Mulungu wa Israeli akuti, ‘Taonani, ndikubweretsa pa Yerusalemu ndi Yuda mavuto akuti aliyense amene adzawamve adzathedwa nzeru.
13 I will stretch over Jerusalem the line of Samaria, and the plumb line of Ahab’s house; and I will wipe Jerusalem as a man wipes a dish, wiping it and turning it upside down.
Ndidzalanga Yerusalemu ndi Yuda pogwiritsa ntchito muyeso umene ndinalangira Samariya ndi Ahabu pamodzi ndi nyumba yake. Ndidzayeretsa Yerusalemu monga mmene munthu amachitira popukuta mbale ndipo atayipukuta amayivundikira pansi.
14 I will cast off the remnant of my inheritance and deliver them into the hands of their enemies. They will become a prey and a plunder to all their enemies,
Ndidzawataya anthu otsala amene ndi cholowa changa ndipo ndidzawapereka mʼmanja mwa adani awo. Adzachotsedwa ndipo adaniwo adzawalanda zinthu zonse
15 because they have done that which is evil in my sight, and have provoked me to anger since the day their fathers came out of Egypt, even to this day.’”
chifukwa anachita zoyipa pamaso panga ndipo akhala akundikwiyitsa kuchokera tsiku limene makolo awo anatuluka mu Igupto mpaka lero lino.’”
16 Moreover Manasseh shed innocent blood very much, until he had filled Jerusalem from one end to another; in addition to his sin with which he made Judah to sin, in doing that which was evil in the LORD’s sight.
Kuwonjezera apo, Manase anakhetsa kwambiri magazi a anthu osalakwa mpaka magaziwo kuyenderera mu Yerusalemu kuyambira mbali ina mpaka mbali ina, kuphatikiza pa kuchimwitsa Yuda, kotero kuti anthu anachita zoyipa pamaso pa Yehova.
17 Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and all that he did, and his sin that he sinned, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
Ntchito zina za Manase ndi zonse zimene anachita, kodi sizinalembedwe mʼbuku la mbiri ya mafumu a Yuda?
18 Manasseh slept with his fathers, and was buried in the garden of his own house, in the garden of Uzza; and Amon his son reigned in his place.
Manase anagona ndi makolo ake ndipo anayikidwa mʼmanda mʼmunda wa Uza, ku nyumba yaufumu. Ndipo Amoni mwana wake analowa ufumu mʼmalo mwake.
19 Amon was twenty-two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned two years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Meshullemeth the daughter of Haruz of Jotbah.
Amoni anakhala mfumu ali ndi zaka 22 ndipo analamulira mu Yerusalemu zaka ziwiri. Amayi ake anali Mesulemeti mwana wa Haruzi, wochokera ku Yotiba.
20 He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, as Manasseh his father did.
Iye anachita zoyipa pamaso pa Yehova monga anachitira Manase abambo ake.
21 He walked in all the ways that his father walked in, and served the idols that his father served, and worshiped them;
Anatsatira makhalidwe onse a abambo ake. Ankapembedza mafano amene abambo akewo ankawapembedza ndipo ankawagwadira.
22 and he abandoned the LORD, the God of his fathers, and didn’t walk in the way of the LORD.
Iyeyo anasiya Yehova Mulungu wa makolo ake ndipo sanayende mʼnjira ya Yehova.
23 The servants of Amon conspired against him, and put the king to death in his own house.
Nduna za Amoni zinamuchita chiwembu ndipo zinamupha mʼnyumba yake.
24 But the people of the land killed all those who had conspired against King Amon; and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his place.
Koma anthu a mʼdzikomo anapha onse amene anachitira chiwembu Mfumu Amoni, nayika Yosiya mwana wake kukhala mfumu mʼmalo mwake.
25 Now the rest of the acts of Amon which he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
Ntchito zina za Amoni ndi zonse zimene anachita, kodi sizinalembedwe mʼbuku la mbiri ya mafumu a Yuda?
26 He was buried in his tomb in the garden of Uzza, and Josiah his son reigned in his place.
Iye anayikidwa mʼmanda ake mʼmunda wa Uza. Ndipo Yosiya mwana wake analowa ufumu mʼmalo mwake.
