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 and 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 did that which was evil in the sight of Yhwh, like unto the abominations of the heathen, whom Yhwh had 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 reared up altars for Baalim, and made groves, and worshipped all the host of heaven, 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.”
Also he built altars in the house of Yhwh, whereof Yhwh had said, In Jerusalem shall my name be for ever.
5 Le Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ ƒe xɔxɔnu eveawo la, eɖi vɔsamlekpuiwo na dziƒoŋunuwo.
And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of Yhwh.
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 children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom: also he observed times, and used enchantments, and used witchcraft, and dealt with a familiar spirit, and with wizards: he wrought much evil in the sight of Yhwh, 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!
And he set a carved image, the idol which he had made, in the house of God, of which God had said to David and to Solomon his son, In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen before all the tribes of Israel, will I put my name for ever:
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.”
Neither will I any more remove the foot of Israel from out of the land which I have appointed for your fathers; so that they will take heed to do all that I have commanded them, according to the whole law and the statutes and the ordinances by the hand of 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.
So Manasseh made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to err, and to do worse than the heathen, whom Yhwh had destroyed before the children of Israel.
10 Manase kple eƒe amewo meɖo to Yehowa ƒe nyagbegbe na wo o
And Yhwh spake to Manasseh, and to his people: but they would not hearken.
11 eya ta Yehowa dɔ Asiria ƒe aʋakɔ la ɖa, wolé Manase heƒo ga ɖe ŋɔti nɛ. Wode akɔblikɔsɔkɔsɔe eye woɖe aboyoe yi Babilonia.
wherefore Yhwh brought upon them the captains of the army of the king of Assyria, which took Manasseh among the thorns, and 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.
And when he was in affliction, he besought Yhwh 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!
And prayed unto him: and he was intreated of him, and heard his supplication, and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that Yhwh he 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 a wall without the city of David, on the west side of Gihon, in the valley, even to the entering in at the fish gate, and compassed about Ophel, and raised it up a very great height, and put captains of war in all the fenced 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 strange gods, and the idol out of the house of Yhwh, and all the altars that he had built in the mount of the house of Yhwh, 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.
And he repaired the altar of Yhwh, and sacrificed thereon peace offerings and thank offerings, and commanded Judah to serve Yhwh 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 did sacrifice still in the high places, yet unto Yhwh their God only.
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 unto his God, and the words of the seers that spake to him in the name of Yhwh God of Israel, behold, they are written in the book 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 was intreated of him, and all his sin, and his trespass, and the places wherein he built high places, and set up groves and graven images, before he was humbled: behold, they are written among the sayings of the seers.
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 stead.
21 Amon xɔ ƒe blaeve-vɔ-eve esi wòɖu fia eye wòɖu fia le Yerusalem ƒe eve.
Amon was two and twenty years old when he began to reign, and 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,
But he did that which was evil in the sight of Yhwh, as did Manasseh his father: for Amon sacrificed unto all the carved 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.
And humbled not himself before Yhwh, as Manasseh his father had humbled himself; but Amon trespassed more and more.
24 Mlɔeba la, Amon ŋumewo ɖo nugbe ɖe eŋu eye wowui le eƒe fiasã me.
And his servants conspired against him, and slew 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 people of the land slew all them that had conspired against king Amon; and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his stead.
