2 Maũndũ 33
1 Manase aarĩ wa mĩaka ikũmi na ĩĩrĩ rĩrĩa aatuĩkire mũthamaki, nake agĩthamaka arĩ Jerusalemu mĩaka mĩrongo ĩtano na ĩtano.
Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem.
2 Nake agĩĩka maũndũ marĩa mataagĩrĩire maitho-inĩ ma Jehova na ũndũ wa kũrũmĩrĩra maũndũ maarĩ magigi marĩa meekagwo nĩ ndũrĩrĩ iria Jehova aaingatĩte ciehere mbere ya andũ a Isiraeli.
He did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, after the abominations of the nations whom Yahweh cast out before the children of Israel.
3 Agĩaka rĩngĩ kũndũ kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru kũrĩa ithe Hezekia aamomorete; ningĩ agĩakĩra Baali igongona na agĩthondeka itugĩ cia Ashera. Ningĩ akĩinamĩrĩra na akĩhooya mĩhianano yothe ya mbũtũ cia njata cia igũrũ na agĩcitungatĩra.
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 Manase nĩaakire igongona thĩinĩ wa hekarũ ya Jehova, o ĩrĩa Jehova oigĩte ũhoro wayo atĩrĩ, “Rĩĩtwa rĩakwa rĩgaatũũra Jerusalemu nginya tene.”
He built altars in Yahweh’s house, of which Yahweh said, “My name shall be in Jerusalem forever.”
5 Nĩakĩire mĩhianano yothe ya mbũtũ cia njata cia igũrũ igongona kũu nja cierĩ cia hekarũ ya Jehova.
He built altars for all the army of the sky in the two courts of Yahweh’s house.
6 Nĩaarutire ariũ ake matuĩke igongona, magĩcinĩrwo Gĩtuamba-inĩ kĩa Beni-Hinomu, na nĩaragũraga na agatuĩria nyoni, na akarogana, na agathiiaga kũrĩ andũ arĩa maarĩ na maroho ma kũragũra, o na agatuĩria ũhoro kuuma kũrĩ maroho mooru. Nĩekire maũndũ maingĩ mooru maitho-inĩ ma Jehova, akĩmũrakaria.
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 Yahweh’s sight, to provoke him to anger.
7 Nĩooire mũhianano mũicũhie ũrĩa aathondekete na akĩũiga thĩinĩ wa hekarũ ya Ngai, ĩrĩa Ngai eerĩte Daudi na mũriũ Solomoni ũhoro wayo atĩrĩ, “Thĩinĩ wa hekarũ ĩno na thĩinĩ wa Jerusalemu, o kũrĩa ndĩthuurĩire kuuma mĩhĩrĩga-inĩ yothe ya Isiraeli, nĩkuo ngũtũũria Rĩĩtwa rĩakwa nginya tene.
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 Ndigatũma magũrũ ma andũ a Isiraeli macooke kũũrũũra moime bũrũri ũyũ ndaheire maithe manyu ma tene, korwo no metĩkĩre kũmenyerera maũndũ mothe marĩa ndĩmaathĩte makonainie na mawatho mothe na kĩrĩra gĩakwa gĩa kũrũmĩrĩrwo na matuĩro marĩa maaheirwo na kanua ka Musa ma kũrũmĩrĩrwo.”
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 No rĩrĩ, Manase akĩhĩtithia andũ a Juda na andũ a Jerusalemu, nginya magĩĩka maũndũ mooru o na gũkĩra ndũrĩrĩ iria Jehova aaniinĩte ciehere mbere ya andũ a Isiraeli.
Manasseh seduced Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that they did more evil than did the nations whom Yahweh destroyed before the children of Israel.
10 Jehova akĩarĩria Manase na andũ ake, no matiigana kũmũigua.
Yahweh spoke to Manasseh and to his people, but they didn’t listen.
11 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Ngai akĩmarehithĩria anene a mbũtũ cia ita cia mũthamaki wa Ashuri, nao makĩnyiita Manase, makĩmwĩkĩra kĩbini iniũrũ, makĩmuoha na mĩnyororo ya gĩcango, na makĩmũtwara Babuloni.
Therefore Yahweh 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 Hĩndĩ ĩyo aarĩ mũhinyĩrĩrĩku ngoro-rĩ, akĩrongooria ũtugi wa Jehova Ngai wake, na akĩĩnyiihia mũno mbere ya Ngai wa maithe mao.
When he was in distress, he begged Yahweh his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers.
13 Na rĩrĩa aamũhooire, Jehova akĩigua ihooya rĩake na akĩigua gũthaithana gwake; nĩ ũndũ ũcio, akĩmũcookia Jerusalemu na akĩmũcookeria ũthamaki wake. Hĩndĩ ĩyo Manase akĩmenya atĩ Jehova nĩwe Ngai.
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 Yahweh was God.
14 Thuutha-inĩ-rĩ, agĩaka rĩngĩ rũthingo rwa nja rwa Itũũra Inene rĩa Daudi mwena wa ithũĩro wa gĩthima kĩa Gihoni kũu gĩtuamba-inĩ, o nginya itoonyero-inĩ rĩa Kĩhingo gĩa Thamaki, na gũthiũrũrũkĩria karĩma ka Ofeli; o na ningĩ akĩrũraihia na igũrũ. Nĩaigire anene a thigari matũũra-inĩ mothe ma Juda marĩa maarĩ mairigĩre na thingo cia hinya.
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 Akĩeheria ngai cia kũngĩ, o na akĩeheria mũhianano ũrĩa warĩ thĩinĩ wa hekarũ ya Jehova, o na igongona ciothe iria aakĩte karĩma-inĩ ka hekarũ na kũu Jerusalemu, na agĩcite na kũu nja ya itũũra inene.
He took away the foreign gods and the idol out of Yahweh’s house, and all the altars that he had built in the mountain of Yahweh’s house and in Jerusalem, and cast them out of the city.
16 Ningĩ agĩcookereria kĩgongona kĩa Jehova, na akĩrutĩra igũrũ rĩakĩo maruta ma ũiguano na ma gũcookia ngaatho, na akĩĩra andũ a Juda matungatĩre Jehova Ngai wa Isiraeli.
He built up Yahweh’s altar, and offered sacrifices of peace offerings and of thanksgiving on it, and commanded Judah to serve Yahweh, the God of Israel.
17 No rĩrĩ, andũ magĩthiĩ o na mbere kũrutĩra magongona kũndũ kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru, no mamarutagĩra Jehova Ngai wao o we wiki.
Nevertheless the people still sacrificed in the high places, but only to Yahweh their God.
18 Maũndũ marĩa mangĩ makoniĩ wathani wa Manase, o hamwe na ũrĩa aahooire Ngai wake, o na ciugo iria ooni-maũndũ maamwarĩirie thĩinĩ wa rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova, Ngai wa Isiraeli-rĩ, nĩmandĩke maandĩko-inĩ ma mahinda ma athamaki a Isiraeli.
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 Yahweh, the God of Israel, behold, they are written among the acts of the kings of Israel.
19 Ihooya rĩake, na ũrĩa Ngai aahutirio nĩ gũthaithana gwake, o na ningĩ mehia make mothe, na kwaga kwĩhokeka gwake, o na kũndũ kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru kũrĩa aakire mahooero ma Baali, na akĩhaanda itugĩ cia Ashera na mĩhianano mbere ya atanenyiihĩria Jehova-rĩ, mothe nĩmandĩkĩtwo maandĩko-inĩ ma andũ arĩa ooni-maũndũ.
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 akĩhurũka hamwe na maithe make na agĩthikwo nyũmba-inĩ yake ya ũthamaki. Nake mũriũ Amoni agĩtuĩka mũthamaki ithenya rĩake.
So Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they buried him in his own house; and Amon his son reigned in his place.
21 Amoni aarĩ wa mĩaka mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ĩĩrĩ rĩrĩa aatuĩkire mũthamaki, nake agĩthamaka arĩ Jerusalemu mĩaka ĩĩrĩ.
Amon was twenty-two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned two years in Jerusalem.
22 Nake agĩĩka maũndũ mooru maitho-inĩ ma Jehova, o ta ũrĩa ithe Manase eekĩte. Amoni nĩahooire na akĩrutĩra mĩhianano yothe magongona ĩrĩa Manase aathondekithĩtie.
He did that which was evil in Yahweh’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 Nowe ndeekire ta ithe Manase tondũ ndaigana kwĩnyiihĩria Jehova; Amoni nĩaingĩhirie mahĩtia make.
He didn’t humble himself before Yahweh, as Manasseh his father had humbled himself; but this same Amon trespassed more and more.
24 Anene a Amoni makĩmũciirĩrĩra, na makĩmũũragĩra o kũu nyũmba-inĩ yake ya ũthamaki.
His servants conspired against him, and put him to death in his own house.
25 Hĩndĩ ĩyo andũ a bũrũri ũcio makĩũraga andũ arĩa othe maaciirĩire kũũraga Mũthamaki Amoni; nao magĩtua mũriũ Josia mũthamaki ithenya rĩake.
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.
