2 Istwa 33
1 Manase te gen douzan lè li moute wa peyi Jida. Li gouvènen nan lavil Jerizalèm pandan senkannsenkan.
Manasseh was twelve when he became king, and he reigned in for Jerusalem fifty-five years.
2 Li fè sa ki mal devan Seyè a, dapre vye prensip krimenèl lòt nasyon Seyè a te mete deyò pou fè plas pou moun pèp Izrayèl yo.
He did evil in the Lord's sight by following the disgusting religious practices of the nations that the Lord had driven out before the Israelites.
3 Li rebati tanp bondye lòt nasyon Ezekyas, papa l', te fè kraze yo. Li bati lotèl pou Baal, li fè yon estati Achera. Lèfini, li adore dènye zetwal ki nan syèl la, li fè sèvis pou yo.
He rebuilt the high places that his father Hezekiah had destroyed, and he made altars for the Baals and set up Asherah poles. He worshiped the sun, moon, and stars and served them.
4 Li menm rive bati lotèl pou zidòl nan Tanp Seyè a menm, kote Seyè a te di se la l'ap rete nan lavil Jerizalèm pou toutan.
He built altars in the Lord's Temple, about which the Lord had said, “I shall be honored in Jerusalem forever.”
5 Li fè bati lotèl nan de lakou tanp Seyè a pou tout zetwal ki nan syèl la.
He built these altars to worship the sun, moon, and stars in both courtyards of the Lord's Temple.
6 Li ofri pitit gason l' pou yo boule sou lotèl zidòl yo nan Fon Inon an. Li lage kò l' nan li nwaj nan syèl la ak nan fè maji pou konnen sa ki gen pou rive. Li ankouraje divinò yo ak moun ki konn rele mò pou pale ak yo. Li donnen nan fè sa ki mal devan Seyè a pou l' te fè Seyè a move jouk li pa kapab ankò.
He sacrificed his children by burning them to death in the Valley of Ben-hinnom. He practiced sorcery, divination, and witchcraft, and visited mediums and spiritists. He did a great deal of evil in the Lord's sight, making him angry.
7 Li fè fè yon estati zidòl mete nan Tanp Seyè a, atout Seyè a te pale ak David ansanm ak Salomon, pitit li. Li te pale ak yo sou Tanp lan, li te di yo se isit lavil Jerizalèm, nan Tanp kote mwen te chwazi nan tout peyi douz branch fanmi pèp Izrayèl la, pou yo fè sèvis pou mwen.
He took a pagan idol he had made and set it up in God's Temple, about which God had told David and his son Solomon, “I will be honored forever in this Temple and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen from all the tribes of Israel.
8 Depi moun pèp Izrayèl yo viv jan mwen mande yo viv la, si yo fè tou sa ki nan lalwa Moyiz, sèvitè m' lan, te ba yo a, mwen p'ap mete yo deyò nan peyi mwen te vle bay zansèt yo a.
If the Israelites are careful to follow everything I have instructed them to do—all the laws, commandments, and regulations, given through Moses—then I will not make them leave the land I granted your forefathers.”
9 Men, Manase te lakòz pèp Jida a ak moun lavil Jerizalèm yo pèdi tèt yo, yo fè pi mal pase nasyon Seyè a te mete deyò nan peyi a pou fè plas pou yo.
But Manasseh seduced Judah and the people of Jerusalem, leading them to commit even worse sins than the nations the Lord had destroyed before Israelites.
10 Seyè a te pale ak Manase ansanm ak pèp li a, men yo derefize koute l'.
The Lord warned Manasseh and his people, but they ignored him.
11 Lè sa a, Seyè a voye chèf lame wa peyi Lasiri a vin atake yo. Yo mete men sou Manase, yo pase kwòk nan machwè li, yo mare l' ak de gwo chenn fèt an kwiv, yo mennen l' lavil Babilòn.
So the Lord sent the armies of Assyria with their commanders to attack them. The Assyrians captured Manasseh, put a hook through his nose, put bronze shackles on him, and took him away to Babylon.
12 Manase te nan gwo lafliksyon, li rele Seyè a, Bondye li a, li rekonèt tout fòt li yo devan Seyè a, Bondye zansèt li yo.
In his misery, asked the Lord God for help, repenting for his arrogance before the God of his forefathers.
13 Li lapriyè Bondye, Bondye tande lapriyè l' la, li ba li sa l' te mande a. Li fè l' tounen lavil Jerizalèm pou li al pran plas li ankò. Se konsa Manase vin konprann se Seyè a ki Bondye vre.
He prayed and prayed, and the Lord listened to his pleadings, so the Lord brought Manasseh back to Jerusalem and to his kingdom. Then Manasseh was convinced that the Lord is God.
14 Apre sa Manase bati yon miray byen wo sou deyò lavil David la, sou bò solèy kouche, bò sous Giyon an. Miray la pran depi nan ravin lan, li pase bò Pòtay Pwason yo, li fè wonn Ofèl la. Manase mete yon kòmandan nan tout lavil peyi Jida yo ki gen gwo ranpa.
After this, Manasseh rebuilt the outer wall of the City of David from west of Gihon in the valley to the Fish Gate, and around the hill of Ophel, and made it much higher. He also assigned army commanders to all the fortified towns of Judah.
15 Li wete tout estati zidòl lòt nasyon yo ak gwo estati ki te nan Tanp lan. Li kraze tout lotèl yo te bati sou mòn kote Tanp Seyè a te ye a ak nan lavil Jerizalèm. Li pran tout bagay sa yo, li voye yo jete an deyò lavil la.
He disposed of the foreign gods and the idol from the Lord's Temple, together with all the altars he had built on the Temple hill and in Jerusalem, throwing all of them outside the city.
16 Li fè repare lotèl Seyè a, li fè ofrann pou mande Bondye padon ak pou di l' mèsi. Li mande pou tout moun nan peyi Jida a sèvi Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la.
Then he restored the altar of the Lord, and sacrificed friendship offerings and thank offerings on it, and he instructed Judah to worship the Lord, the God of Israel.
17 Pèp la te toujou ap ofri bèt pou yo touye lòt kote, men se te toujou pou Seyè a, Bondye yo a, ase.
But the people still sacrificed on the high places, but only to the Lord their God.
18 Tout rès istwa Manase a, lapriyè li te fè nan pye Bondye li a, mesaj pwofèt yo te ba li nan non Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, tou sa ekri nan Liv Istwa wa pèp Izrayèl yo.
The rest of what Manasseh did, along with his prayer to his God and what he was told by the seers who spoke on the Lord's behalf are recorded in the Book of the Kings of Israel.
19 Lapriyè wa a te fè a, repons Bondye te ba li, tout peche l' yo, jan li te vire do bay Bondye, tout kote li te bati pou zidòl yo, estati Achera ak estati lòt zidòl li te fè fè pou l' te ka sèvi anvan li te rekonèt peche li yo, nou jwenn tou sa ekri nan Liv Istwa pwofèt Ozayi a.
His prayer and how God answered him, as well as all his sins and unfaithfulness, and where he built high places and set up Asherah poles and idols before he admitted he was wrong, are recorded in the Records of the Seers.
20 Lè Manase mouri, yo antere l' nan jaden palè a. Se Amon, pitit gason l' lan, ki moute wa nan plas li.
Manasseh died and was buried at his palace. His son Amon took over as king.
21 Amon te gen venndezan lè li moute wa peyi Jida a. Li gouvènen nan lavil Jerizalèm pandan dezan.
Amon was twenty-two when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for two years.
22 Tankou Manase, papa l', li fè sa ki mal devan Seyè a. Li ofri bèt pou yo touye, li fè sèvis pou tout zidòl papa l' te fè fè yo.
He did evil in the Lord's sight just as his father Manasseh had. Amon worshiped and sacrificed to all the idols his father Manasseh had made.
23 Men, li pa t' rekonèt peche l' yo devan Seyè a, tankou Manase, papa l', te fè l' la. Li menm rive fè pi mal pase papa l' toujou.
However, he did not admit his pride before the Lord as his father Manasseh had done—in fact Amon made his guilt even worse.
24 Chèf ki t'ap sèvi avèk Amon yo fè konplo, yo touye l' anndan palè a.
Then Amon's officials plotted against him and killed him in his palace.
25 Moun peyi Jida yo touye mesye ki te fè konplo pou touye Amon yo. Yo mete Jozyas, pitit gason Amon an, wa nan plas li.
But the people of the land killed everyone who had plotted against King Amon, and they made his son Josiah king.
