Kronika 2 33
1 Manase xɔ ƒe wuieve esime wòzu fia, eye wòɖu fia ƒe blaatɔ̃ vɔ atɔ̃ le Yerusalem.
Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem.
2 Manase wɔ nu si nye vɔ̃ le Yehowa ŋkume eye wòdze dukɔ siwo Yehowa nya le Israelviwo ŋgɔ ƒe ŋunyɔnuwo wɔwɔ yome.
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.
3 Egbugbɔ nuxeƒe siwo fofoa, Hezekia gbã la tu. Hekpe ɖe esiawo ŋu la, etu vɔsamlekpuiwo na Baal eye wòwɔ aƒeliwo. Ede ta agu na dziƒonuwo katã eye wòsubɔ wo.
For he built again the high places which Hezekiah his father had broken down; and he raised up altars for the Baals, made Asheroth, and worshiped all the army of the sky, and served them.
4 Eɖi vɔsamlekpuiwo ɖe Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ me le esime Yehowa gblɔ le gbedoxɔ la ŋu be, “Nye ŋkɔ atsi Yerusalem ŋu tegbetegbe.”
He built altars in the LORD’s house, of which the LORD said, “My name shall be in Jerusalem forever.”
5 Le Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ ƒe xɔxɔnu eveawo la, eɖi vɔsamlekpuiwo na dziƒoŋunuwo.
He built altars for all the army of the sky in the two courts of the LORD’s house.
6 Etsɔa via ŋutsuviwo saa dzovɔe le Ben Hinom ƒe Balime. Ekaa afa, dea nubiaƒe, wɔa adze, dea ŋɔliyɔlawo kple gbɔgbɔwo yɔlawo gbɔ. Ewɔ nu siwo nye vɔ̃ la geɖe fũu le Yehowa ŋkume hetsɔ do dzikue nɛ.
He also made his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom. He practiced sorcery, divination, and witchcraft, 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.
7 Eda legba aɖe si wòwɔ la ɖe Mawu ƒe gbedoxɔ la me, teƒe si tututu ŋu Mawu ƒo nu tsoe na David kple Solomo esi wògblɔ be, “Matsɔ nye ŋkɔ aɖo gbedoxɔ sia me kple Yerusalem, du si metia tso Israel ƒe towo ƒe duwo katã me la ŋu tegbetegbe!
He set the engraved image of the idol, which he had made, in God’s house, of which God 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.
8 Eye nyemana Israel ƒe afɔ nage le anyigba si metsɔ na fofowòwo la dzi o, nenye be wolé nye sewo, ɖoɖowo kple kɔnuwo siwo katã mena wo to Mose dzi la me ɖe asi, eye wowɔ wo dzi ko.”
I will not any more remove the foot of Israel from off the land which I have appointed for your fathers, if only they will observe to do all that I have commanded them, even all the law, the statutes, and the ordinances given by Moses.”
9 Ke Manase do ŋusẽ Yudatɔwo kple Yerusalemtɔwo be woawɔ nu vɔ̃ siwo vɔ̃ɖi wu esiwo dukɔ siwo Yehowa tsrɔ̃ esime Israel ge ɖe anyigba la dzi gɔ̃ hã.
Manasseh seduced Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that they did more evil than did the nations whom the LORD destroyed before the children of Israel.
10 Manase kple eƒe amewo meɖo to Yehowa ƒe nyagbegbe na wo o
The LORD spoke to Manasseh and to his people, but they did not listen.
11 eya ta Yehowa dɔ Asiria ƒe aʋakɔ la ɖa, wolé Manase heƒo ga ɖe ŋɔti nɛ. Wode akɔblikɔsɔkɔsɔe eye woɖe aboyoe yi Babilonia.
Therefore the LORD brought on them the captains of the army of the king of Assyria, who took Manasseh in chains, bound him with fetters, and carried him to Babylon.
12 Manase va nyɔ le eɖokui me mlɔeba eye wòbia kpekpeɖeŋu tso Mawu gbɔ kple ɖokuibɔbɔ.
When he was in distress, he begged the LORD his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers.
13 Yehowa se eƒe kukuɖeɖe eye wòna wògbugbɔ va Yerusalem kple eƒe fiaɖuƒe la. Azɔ hafi Manase dze sii mlɔeba be Yehowa nye Mawu nyateƒe!
He prayed to him; and he was entreated by him, and heard his supplication, and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the LORD was God.
14 Esi wògbugbɔ David ƒe Du la ƒe gli egodotɔ ɖo vɔ la, eɖo gli la ɖe Gihon tɔʋu si le balime la ƒe ɣedzeƒe yi ɖase keke Tɔmelãgbo la nu, eɖoe ƒo xlã Ofel togbɛ la eye wòna teƒe sia ƒe gliwo kɔ wu teƒe mamlɛawo tɔwo. Eɖo aʋafiawo Yuda du siwo katã wòglã la nu.
Now after this, he built an outer wall to David’s city on the west side of Gihon, in the valley, even to the entrance at the fish gate. He encircled Ophel with it, and raised it up to a very great height; and he put valiant captains in all the fortified cities of Judah.
15 Eɖe dzromawuwo ɖa eye nenema ke wòɖe legba la hã ɖa le Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la me. Nenema ke wòɖe vɔsamlekpui siwo katã wòɖi ɖe gbedoxɔa ƒe togbɛ dzi kple le Yerusalem eye wòtsɔ wo ƒu gbe ɖe du la godo.
He took away the foreign gods and the idol out of the LORD’s house, and all the altars that he had built in the mountain of the LORD’s house and in Jerusalem, and cast them out of the city.
16 Egbugbɔ Yehowa ƒe vɔsamlekpui la tu, ŋutifafavɔ kple akpedavɔ le edzi eye wògblɔ na Yuda be wòasubɔ Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu la.
He built up the LORD’s altar, and offered sacrifices of peace offerings and of thanksgiving on it, and commanded Judah to serve the LORD, the God of Israel.
17 Ke hã la, ameawo gasaa vɔwo ko le vɔsamlekpui siwo le togbɛawo dzi la dzi gake wosaa vɔ siawo azɔ na Yehowa, woƒe Mawu la.
Nevertheless the people still sacrificed in the high places, but only to the LORD their God.
18 Woŋlɔ nu bubu siwo yi edzi le Manase ƒe fiaɖuɖu me, eƒe gbe si wòdo ɖa na eƒe Mawu, nya siwo nukpɔlawo gblɔ nɛ le Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu la ƒe ŋkɔ me la katã ɖe Israel fiawo ƒe ŋutinyagbalẽwo me.
Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and his prayer to his God, and the words of the seers who spoke to him in the name of the LORD, the God of Israel, behold, they are written among the acts of the kings of Israel.
19 Woŋlɔ eƒe gbedodoɖa kple ale si eƒe kokoƒoƒo wɔ dɔ ɖe Mawu dzi kpe ɖe eƒe nu vɔ̃wo, eƒe nuteƒemawɔmawɔ, teƒe siwo wòtu nuxeƒewo ɖo, afi siwo wòtu aƒeliwo ɖo eye wòli legbawo ɖo hafi bɔbɔ eɖokui la katã de nukpɔlawo ƒe nyaŋlɔɖigbalẽwo me.
His prayer also, and how God listened to his request, and all his sin and his trespass, and the places in which he built high places and set up the Asherah poles and the engraved images before he humbled himself: behold, they are written in the history of Hozai.
20 Manase ku, woɖii ɖe eƒe fiasã me eye Amon, Via ŋutsu, ɖu fia ɖe eteƒe.
So Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they buried him in his own house; and Amon his son reigned in his place.
21 Amon xɔ ƒe blaeve-vɔ-eve esi wòɖu fia eye wòɖu fia le Yerusalem ƒe eve.
Amon was twenty-two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned two years in Jerusalem.
22 Amon wɔ nu vɔ̃ le Yehowa ŋkume abe fofoa, Manase, ene. Esubɔ eye wòsa vɔ na legbawo katã abe fofoa ene,
He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, as did Manasseh his father; and Amon sacrificed to all the engraved images which Manasseh his father had made, and served them.
23 ke eya metrɔ dzime abe fofoa ene o, ke boŋ Amon yi nu vɔ̃ wɔwɔ dzi.
He did not humble himself before the LORD, as Manasseh his father had humbled himself; but this same Amon trespassed more and more.
24 Mlɔeba la, Amon ŋumewo ɖo nugbe ɖe eŋu eye wowui le eƒe fiasã me.
His servants conspired against him, and put him to death in his own house.
25 Dukɔmevi aɖewo wu ame siwo wu Fia Amon la dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe eye wotsɔ Amon ƒe vi, Yosia, ɖo fiae.
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.
