Fiawo 2 21
1 Manase xɔ ƒe wuieve esime wòzu fia, eye wòɖu fia ƒe blaatɔ̃ vɔ atɔ̃ le Yerusalem. Dadaa ŋkɔe nye Hefziba.
Manasses [was] twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name [was] Apsiba.
2 Ewɔ nu si nye vɔ̃ le Yehowa ŋkume eye wòdze dukɔ siwo Yehowa nya le Israelviwo ŋgɔ ƒe ŋunyɔnuwo wɔwɔ yome.
And he did that which was evil in the eyes of the Lord, according to the abominations of the nations which the Lord cast out from before the children of Israel.
3 Egbugbɔ nuxeƒe siwo fofoa, Hezekia gbã la tu. Hekpe ɖe esiawo ŋu la, etu vɔsamlekpuiwo na Baal eye wòli aƒeli abe ale si Ahab, Israel fia, wɔ la ene. Ede ta agu na dziƒonuwo katã eye wòsubɔ wo.
And he built again the high places, which Ezekias his father [had] demolished; and set up an altar to Baal, and made groves as Achaab king of Israel [made them]; and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served them.
4 Etu vɔsamlekpuiwo ɖe Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ me, teƒe si ŋu Yehowa gblɔ le be, “Yerusalem anye nye ŋkɔ ƒe nɔƒe.”
And he built an altar in the house of the Lord, whereas he had said, In Jerusalem I will place my name.
5 Le Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ ƒe xɔxɔnu eveawo la, eɖi vɔsamlekpuiwo na dziƒoŋunuwo.
And he built an altar to all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the Lord.
6 Etsɔa Via ŋutsuvi saa dzovɔe. Ekaa afa, dea nubiaƒe kple ŋɔliyɔlawo gbɔ. Ewɔ nu siwo nye vɔ̃ la geɖe fũu le Yehowa ŋkume hetsɔ do dzikue nɛ.
And he caused his sons to pass through the fire, and used divination and auspices, and made groves, and multiplied wizards, so as to do that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, to provoke him to anger.
7 Manase li aƒeli si wòwɔ la ɖe gbedoxɔ la me, teƒe si tututu ŋu Yehowa 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 up the graven image of the grove 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, will I even place my name for ever.
8 Eye nyemana Israel ƒe afɔ nage le anyigba si metsɔ na wo fofowo la dzi o, nenye be wolé se siwo katã mede na wo kple se siwo katã nye dɔla Mose de na wo la me ɖe asi, eye wowɔ wo dzi ko.”
And I will not again remove the foot of Israel from the land which I gave to their fathers, [even of those] who shall keep all that I commanded, according to all the commandments which my servant Moses commanded them.
9 Ke ameawo meɖo to Yehowa o eye Manase na wowɔ nu vɔ̃ wu dukɔ siwo ƒo xlã wo, togbɔ be Yehowa tsrɔ̃ dukɔ siawo le woƒe nu vɔ̃wo ta, esi Israelviwo ge ɖe anyigba la dzi gɔ̃ hã.
But they listened not; and Manasses led them astray to do evil in the sight of the Lord, beyond the nations whom the Lord utterly destroyed from before the children of Israel.
10 Yehowa ƒo nu to eƒe nyagblɔɖilawo dzi na ameawo be,
And the Lord spoke by his servants the prophets, saying,
11 “Esi Fia Manase wɔ nu vɔ̃ siawo eye wòvɔ̃ɖi wu Amoritɔwo, ame siwo nɔ anyigba la dzi tsã eye esi wòkplɔ Yuda de legbasubɔsubɔ me ta la,
Forasmuch as Manasses the king of Juda has wrought all these evil abominations, beyond all that the Amorite did, who lived before [him], and has led Juda also into sin by their idols,
12 Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu be mahe dzɔgbevɔ̃e va Yerusalem kple Yuda dzi ale gbegbe be ame sia ame si ase nu tso dzɔgbevɔ̃e sia ŋu la ƒe to me aɖi yeŋ kple vɔvɔ̃.
[it shall] not [be] so. Thus says the Lord God of Israel, Behold, I bring calamities upon Jerusalem and Juda, so that both the ears of every one that hears shall tingle.
13 Matsɔ dzidzeka si metsɔ dzidze Samaria kple Ahab ƒe aƒe la adzidze Yerusalem. Maklɔ Yerusalem abe ale si woklɔa agbae ene eye matrɔe atsyɔ anyi.
And I will stretch out over Jerusalem the measure of Samaria, and the plummet of the house of Achaab: and I will wipe Jerusalem as a jar is wiped, and turned upside down in the wiping.
14 Gawu la, magbe nu le nye ame ʋɛ siwo asusɔ la gɔ̃ hã gbɔ eye matsɔ wo ade asi na woƒe futɔwo
And I will reject the remnant of my inheritance, and will deliver them into the hands of their enemies; and they shall be for a plunder and for a spoil to all their enemies:
15 elabena wowɔ nu vɔ̃ le nye ŋkume eye wodo dɔmedzoe nam tso esime mekplɔ wo tɔgbuiwo tso Egipte va se ɖe fifi.”
forasmuch as they have done wickedly in my sight, and have provoked me from the day that I brought out their fathers out of Egypt, even until this day.
16 Hekpe ɖe legbasubɔsubɔ si Yehowa lé fui, subɔsubɔ si me Manase he ameawo dee ŋu la, Manase wu ame maɖifɔ geɖewo eye ame siwo wòwu la ƒe kukuawo xɔ Yerusalem ƒe akpa sia akpa.
Moreover Manasses shed very much innocent blood, until he filled Jerusalem [with it] from one end to the other, beside his sins with which he caused Juda to sin, in doing evil in the eyes of the Lord.
17 Woŋlɔ Manase ƒe fiaɖuɖu vɔ̃ɖi la ƒe ŋutinya mamlɛa kple nu siwo wòwɔ kpakple eƒe nu vɔ̃ la ɖe Yuda fiawo ƒe ŋutinyagbalẽwo me.
And the rest of the acts of Manasses, and all that he did, and his sin which he sinned, [are] not these things written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda?
18 Esi wòku la woɖii ɖe eƒe aƒe ƒe abɔ si nye Uza ƒe abɔ le fiasã la me, eye via Amon ɖu fia ɖe eteƒe.
And Manasses slept with his fathers, and was buried in the garden of his house, [even] in the garden of Oza: and Amos his son reigned in his stead.
19 Amon xɔ ƒe blaeve-vɔ-eve esi wòɖu fia eye wòɖu fia le Yerusalem ƒe eve. Dadaa ŋkɔe nye Mesulemet, Haruz ƒe vinyɔnu, ame si tso Yotba.
Twenty and two years old [was] Amos when he began to reign, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name [was] Mesollam, daughter of Arus of Jeteba.
20 Ewɔ nu vɔ̃ le Yehowa ŋkume abe fofoa, Manase, ene.
And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, as Manasses his father did.
21 Ewɔ nu vɔ̃ siwo katã fofoa wɔ eye wòsubɔ legba siwo katã fofoa subɔ.
And he walked in all the way in which his father walked, and served the idols which his father served, and worshipped them.
22 Gawu la, egbe nu le Yehowa, fofoawo ƒe Mawu la gbɔ eye mezɔ ɖe Yehowa ƒe ɖoɖowo dzi o.
And he forsook the Lord God of his fathers, and walked not in the way of the Lord.
23 Amon ŋumewo ɖo nugbe ɖe eŋu eye wowu fia la le eƒe fiasã me.
And the servants of Amos conspired against him, and killed the king in his house.
24 Dukɔmevi aɖewo wu ame siwo wu Fia Amon la dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe eye wotsɔ Amon ƒe vi Yosia ɖo fiae.
And the people of the land killed all that had conspired against king Amos; and the people of the land made Josias king in his room.
25 Woŋlɔ Amon ƒe ŋutinya mamlɛa ɖe Yuda fiawo ƒe ŋutinyagbalẽ me.
And the rest of the acts of Amos, [even] all that he did, behold, [are] not these written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda?
26 Woɖii ɖe eƒe yɔdo me le Uzabɔ me eye via Yosia ɖu fia ɖe eteƒe.
And they buried him in his tomb in the garden of Oza: and Josias his son reigned in his stead.
