2 Wa 21
1 Manassé te gen laj douzan lè l te devni wa a e li te renye senkann-senk ane Jérusalem. Manman li te rele Hephtsiba.
Manasseh was twelve years old when he became king; for fifty-five years he was ruling in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Hephzi-bah.
2 Li te fè mal nan zye SENYÈ a, selon tout abominasyon a nasyon ke SENYÈ a te rache devan fis Israël yo.
He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, copying the disgusting ways of those nations whom the Lord had sent out before the children of Israel.
3 Paske li te rebati wo plas ke Ézéchias te detwi yo, epi li te monte lotèl pou Baal yo, e li te fè yon Astarté, jan Achab, wa Israël la te fè pou te adore tout lame syèl la e te sèvi yo.
He put up again the high places which had been pulled down by Hezekiah his father; he made altars for Baal, and an Asherah, as Ahab, king of Israel, had done; he was a worshipper and servant of all the stars of heaven.
4 Li te bati lotèl lakay SENYÈ a, sou sila SENYÈ a te di: “Nan Jérusalem, Mwen va mete non Mwen.”
And he put up altars in the house of the Lord, of which the Lord had said, In Jerusalem will I put my name.
5 Li te bati lotèl pou tout lame syèl la nan de lakou lakay SENYÈ a.
And he put up altars for all the stars of heaven in the two outer squares of the house of the Lord.
6 Li te fè fis li yo pase nan dife, pratike maji e sèvi divinasyon. Li te sèvi moun ki pale ak mò ansanm ak lespri. Li te fè anpil mal nan zye SENYÈ a ki te pwovoke Li a lakòlè.
And he made his son go through the fire, and made use of secret arts and signs for reading the future; he gave positions to those who had control of spirits and to wonder-workers; he did much evil in the eyes of the Lord, moving him to wrath.
7 Anplis, li te plase imaj a Astarté ke li te fè a, nan kay ke SENYÈ a te di a David avèk fis li a, Salomon: “Nan kay sila a ak Jérusalem nan, ke Mwen te chwazi soti nan tout tribi Israël yo, Mwen va mete non Mwen jis pou tout tan.
He put the image of Asherah which he had made in the house of which the Lord had said to David and to Solomon his son, In this house, and in Jerusalem, the town which I have made mine out of all the tribes of Israel, I will put my name for ever.
8 Epi mwen p ap fè pye Israël mache egare ankò deyò peyi ke m te bay a zansèt yo a, si sèlman, yo va obsève pou fè selon tout sa ke M te kòmande yo, selon tout lalwa ke sèvitè Mwen an, Moïse te kòmande yo.”
And never again will I send the feet of Israel wandering from the land which I gave to their fathers; if only they will take care to do all my orders, and keep all the law which my servant Moses gave them.
9 Men yo pa t koute e Manassé te sedwi yo pou fè mal plis ke nasyon ke SENYÈ a te detwi devan fis Israël yo.
But they did not give ear; and Manasseh made them do more evil than those nations did, whom the Lord gave up to destruction before the children of Israel.
10 Alò, SENYÈ a te pale pa sèvitè yo, pwofèt yo, e te di:
And the Lord said, by his servants the prophets,
11 “Akoz Manassé, wa Juda a, te fè abominasyon sila yo, e te fè plis mechanste pase tout Amoreyen ki te avan li yo, e anplis, li te fè Juda peche avèk zidòl pa li yo;
Because Manasseh, king of Judah, has done these disgusting things, doing more evil than all the Amorites before him, and making Judah do evil with his false gods,
12 pou sa, konsa pale SENYÈ, Bondye Israël la: ‘Gade byen, Mwen ap mennen yon tèlman gwo twoub sou Jérusalem avèk Juda, pou nenpòt moun ki tande koz li, toude zòrèy li va sonnen avèk sezisman.
For this cause, says the Lord, the God of Israel, I will send such evil on Jerusalem and Judah that the ears of all to whom the news comes will be burning.
13 Mwen va fè lonje sou Jérusalem lizyè Samarie a, avèk fil aplon kay Achab la, e Mwen va siye Jérusalem jan yon moun ta siye yon plato. Konsa m ap siye li e vire li tèt anba.
And over Jerusalem will be stretched the line of Samaria and the weight of Ahab; Jerusalem will be washed clean as a plate is washed, and turned over on its face.
14 Mwen va abandone retay eritaj Mwen an e Mwen va livre yo nan men a lènmi yo. Yo va vin piyaje e depouye pa tout lènmi yo,
And I will put away from me the rest of my heritage, and give them up into the hands of their haters, who will take their property and their goods for themselves;
15 akoz yo te fè mal devan zye Mwen e te pwovoke Mwen a lakòlè soti jou ke zansèt pa yo te sòti an Égypte la, menm rive jodi a.’”
Because they have done evil in my eyes, moving me to wrath, from the day when their fathers came out of Egypt till this day.
16 Anplis, Manassé te vèse san inosan jiskaske li te ranpli Jérusalem soti nan yon bout jis rive nan yon lòt. Li te fè sa, anplis, peche pa li avèk sila li te fè Juda peche nan fè mal devan zye SENYÈ a.
More than this, Manasseh took the lives of upright men, till Jerusalem from one end to the other was full of blood; in addition to his sin in making Judah do evil in the eyes of the Lord.
17 Alò, tout lòt zèv a Manassé yo avèk tout sa ke li te fè ak peche ke li te komèt yo, èske yo pa ekri nan Liv Kwonik A Wa Juda Yo?
Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and all he did, and his sins, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Judah?
18 Konsa, Manassé te dòmi avèk zansèt pa li yo e te antere nan jaden lakay li, nan jaden Uzza a. Epi Amon, fis li a, te devni wa nan plas li.
So Manasseh went to rest with his fathers, and was put into the earth in the garden of his house, in the garden of Uzza; and Amon his son became king in his place.
19 Amon te gen venn-dezan lè l te devni wa e li te renye dezan Jérusalem. Manman li te rele Meschullémeth, fi a Haruts la, nan Jotba.
Amon was twenty-two years old when he became king, ruling in Jerusalem for two years; his mother's name was Meshullemeth, the daughter of Haruz of Jotbah.
20 Li te fè mal nan zye a SENYÈ a, jan Manassé, papa li te konn fè a.
He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, as Manasseh his father had done.
21 Paske li te mache nan tout chemen ke papa li te konn mache yo, e li te sèvi zidòl ke papa li te konn sèvi, e te adore yo.
He went in all the ways of his father, being a servant and worshipper of the false gods to which his father had been a servant;
22 Konsa, li te abandone SENYÈ a, Bondye a zansèt li yo, e li pa t mache nan chemen SENYÈ a.
Turning away from the Lord, the God of his fathers, and not walking in his ways.
23 Sèvitè a Amon yo te fè konplo kont li e yo te touye wa a nan pwòp kay li.
And the servants of Amon made a secret design against him, and put the king to death in his house.
24 Alò, pèp peyi a te touye tout sila ki te fè konplo kont Wa Amon yo, e pèp peyi a te fè Josias, fis li a, wa nan plas li.
But the people of the land put to death all those who had taken part in the design against the king, and made Josiah his son king in his place.
25 Alò, tout lòt zèv ke Amon te fè yo, èske yo pa ekri nan Liv Kwonik A Wa Juda Yo?
Now the rest of the acts which Amon did, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Judah?
26 Li te antere nan tonm pa li nan jaden Uzza a e Josias, fis li a, te devni Wa nan plas li.
He was put in his last resting-place in the garden of Uzza, and Josiah his son became king in his place.
