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 had begun to reign, and he reigned for 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.
But he did evil before the Lord, in accord with all the abominations of the nations which the Lord overturned before the sons 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.
And turning away, he repaired the high places, which had been demolished by his father, Hezekiah. And he constructed altars to the Baals, and made sacred groves. And he adored the entire army of heaven, and he 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.”
Also, he built altars in the house of the Lord, about which the Lord had said, “My name shall be in Jerusalem forever.”
5 Le Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ ƒe xɔxɔnu eveawo la, eɖi vɔsamlekpuiwo na dziƒoŋunuwo.
But he built these for the entire army of heaven, in the two courts of the house of the Lord.
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.
And he caused his sons to pass through fire in the Valley of the son of Hinnom. He observed dreams, followed divinations, served the occult arts, had with him magicians and enchanters, and worked many evils before the Lord, so that he provoked him.
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!
Also, he set up a graven image and molten statue in the house of God, about which God said to David, and to his son Solomon: “In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen from all the tribes of Israel, I will place 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.”
And I will not cause the foot of Israel to be moved from the land which I delivered to their fathers. Yet this is so, only if they will take care to do what I have instructed them, by the hand of Moses, with the entire law and the ceremonies and the judgments.”
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.
And so Manasseh seduced Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that they did evil, more so than all the nations which the Lord had overturned before the face of the sons of Israel.
10 Manase kple eƒe amewo meɖo to Yehowa ƒe nyagbegbe na wo o
And the Lord spoke to him and to his people, but they were not willing to pay attention.
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, he led over them the leaders of the army of the king of the Assyrians. And they captured Manasseh, and they led him, bound with chains and fetters, to Babylon.
12 Manase va nyɔ le eɖokui me mlɔeba eye wòbia kpekpeɖeŋu tso Mawu gbɔ kple ɖokuibɔbɔ.
And after this, being in great anguish, he prayed to the Lord his God. And he did penance 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!
And he petitioned and begged him intently. And he heeded his prayer, and led him back to Jerusalem, into his kingdom. And Manasseh realized that the Lord himself 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.
After these things, he built a wall outside the City of David, to the west of Gihon, at the steep valley, from the entrance to the fish gate, circling around as far as Ophel. And he raised it up greatly. And he appointed leaders of the army 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.
And he took away the foreign gods, and the idol from the house of the Lord, and also the altars which he had made on the mount of the house of the Lord and in Jerusalem. And he cast all these things outside 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.
Then he repaired the altar of the Lord, and he immolated upon it victims, and peace offerings, with praise. And he instructed 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.
Yet still the people were immolating on the high places, 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.
But the rest of the deeds of Manasseh, and his prayer to his God, and also the words of the seers who were speaking to him in the name of the Lord, the God of Israel, are contained in the words 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.
Also, his prayer and its heeding, and all his sins and contempt, and the sites on which he built high places and made sacred groves and statues, before he repented, have been written in the words of Hozai.
20 Manase ku, woɖii ɖe eƒe fiasã me eye Amon, Via ŋutsu, ɖu fia ɖe eteƒe.
Then Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they buried him in his own house. And his son, Amon, 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 had begun to reign, and he reigned for 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,
And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, just as his father Manasseh had done. And he immolated to all the idols that Manasseh had fabricated, and he served them.
23 ke eya metrɔ dzime abe fofoa ene o, ke boŋ Amon yi nu vɔ̃ wɔwɔ dzi.
But he did not turn his face to the Lord, as his father Manasseh had turned himself. And he sinned much more grievously.
24 Mlɔeba la, Amon ŋumewo ɖo nugbe ɖe eŋu eye wowui le eƒe fiasã me.
And when his servants had conspired against him, they killed him 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 rest of the multitude of the people, having slain those who had struck down Amon, appointed his son, Josiah, as king in his place.
