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.
Twelve years old was Menasseh when he became king, and fifty and five years did he reign in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Chephzi-bah.
2 Li te fè mal nan zye SENYÈ a, selon tout abominasyon a nasyon ke SENYÈ a te rache devan fis Israël yo.
And he did what is evil in the eyes of the Lord, after the abominable acts of the nations whom the Lord had driven 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.
And he built up again the high-places which Hezekiah his father had destroyed; and he reared up altars for Ba'al, and made a grove, as Achab the king of Israel had done; and he bowed down to all the host of heaven, and served them.
4 Li te bati lotèl lakay SENYÈ a, sou sila SENYÈ a te di: “Nan Jérusalem, Mwen va mete non Mwen.”
And he built 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 built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts 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 caused his son to pass through the fire, and observed times, and used enchantments, and dealt with familiar spirits and wizards: he wrought much that is evil in the eyes of the Lord, to provoke him to anger.
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.
And he set a hewn image of the Asherah that 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, which I have chosen out of all tribes of Israel, will I 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 I will not cause any more the foot of Israel to move out of the land which I gave their fathers; only if they will observe to act in accordance with all that I have commanded them, and in accordance with all the law that my servant Moses commanded 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 hearkened not: and Menasseh seduced them to do what is evil more than the nations whom the Lord had destroyed before the children of Israel.
10 Alò, SENYÈ a te pale pa sèvitè yo, pwofèt yo, e te di:
And the Lord spoke by means of his servants the prophets, saying,
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;
Forasmuch as Menasseh the king of Judah hath done these abominations, having done wickedly more than all that the Emorites had done, who were before him, and hath induced Judah also to sin with his idols:
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.
Therefore thus hath said the Lord the God of Israel, Behold, I will bring evil upon Jerusalem and Judah, at which both the ears of every one that heareth it shall tingle.
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 I will stretch over Jerusalem the measure-line of Samaria, and the plummet of the house of Achab: and I will wipe off Jerusalem as one wipeth off a dish, wiping it, and turning it 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 forsake the remnant of my inheritance, and give them up into the hand of their enemies; and they shall become a prey and a spoil to all their enemies;
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.’”
Forasmuch as they have done what is evil in my eyes, and have been provoking me to anger, from the day that their fathers came forth out of Egypt, even until 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.
And also innocent blood did Menasseh shed in very great abundance, till he had filled [therewith] Jerusalem from one end to another; beside his sin wherewith he induced Judah to sin, to do what is 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 Menasseh, and all that he did, and his sin that he committed, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles 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.
And Menasseh slept with his fathers, and was buried in the garden of his own house, in the garden of 'Uzza: and Amon his son became king in his stead.
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.
Twenty and two years old was Amon when he became king, and two years did he reign in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Meshullemeth, the daughter of Charuz of Yotbah.
20 Li te fè mal nan zye a SENYÈ a, jan Manassé, papa li te konn fè a.
And he did what is evil in the eyes of the Lord, as his father Menasseh 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.
And he walked in all the way that his father had walked in, and served the idols that his father had served, and bowed himself down to them;
22 Konsa, li te abandone SENYÈ a, Bondye a zansèt li yo, e li pa t mache nan chemen SENYÈ a.
And he forsook the Lord the God of his fathers, and walked not in the way of the Lord.
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 conspired against him, and put the king to death in his own 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.
And the people of the land slew all those that had conspired against king Amon; and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his stead.
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 of Amon which he did, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles 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.
And they buried him in his sepulchre in the garden of 'Uzza: and Josiah his son became king in his stead.
