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 began to reign; he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Hephzibah.
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 what was evil in the sight of Yahweh, like the disgusting things of the nations whom Yahweh had driven out before the people 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.
For he rebuilt the high places that Hezekiah his father had destroyed, and he built altars for Baal, made an Asherah pole, as Ahab king of Israel had done, and he bowed down to all the stars of heaven and worshiped them.
4 Li te bati lotèl lakay SENYÈ a, sou sila SENYÈ a te di: “Nan Jérusalem, Mwen va mete non Mwen.”
Manasseh built altars in the house of Yahweh, although Yahweh had commanded, “It is in Jerusalem that my name will be forever.”
5 Li te bati lotèl pou tout lame syèl la nan de lakou lakay SENYÈ a.
He built altars for all the stars of heaven in the two courtyards of the house of Yahweh.
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.
He caused his son to pass through the fire, he performed sorcery and divination and consulted with those who talked with the dead and with those who talked with spirits. He did much evil in the sight of Yahweh, provoking 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.
The carved figure of Asherah that he had made, he placed it in the house of Yahweh. It was about this house that Yahweh had spoken to David and Solomon his son; he had said: “It is in this house and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen from all the tribes of Israel, that I will put my name forever.
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.”
I will not cause the feet of Israel to wander any more out of the land that I gave to their ancestors, if they will only be careful to obey all that I have commanded them, and to follow 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 the people did not listen, and Manasseh led them to do evil even more than the nations that Yahweh had destroyed before the people of Israel.
10 Alò, SENYÈ a te pale pa sèvitè yo, pwofèt yo, e te di:
So Yahweh spoke by 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;
“Because Manasseh king of Judah has done these disgusting things, and has acted wickedly more than all that the Amorites who were before him did, and has also made Judah 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 Yahweh, the God of Israel, says this: Look, I am about to bring such evil on Jerusalem and Judah that whoever hears of it, both his ears will 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.
I will stretch over Jerusalem the measuring line used against Samaria, and the plumb line used against the house of Ahab; I will wipe Jerusalem clean, as a man wipes a dish, wiping it and turning it upside down.
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,
I will throw off the remnant of my inheritance and give them into the hand of their enemies. They will become victims and plunder for 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.’”
because they have done what is evil in my sight, and have provoked me to anger, since the day their ancestors came out of Egypt, to 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.
Moreover, Manasseh shed much innocent blood, until he had filled Jerusalem from one end to another with death. This was in addition to the sin by which he made Judah to sin, when they did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh.
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?
As for the other matters concerning Manasseh, all that he did, and the sin that he committed, are they not written in the book of the events 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.
Manasseh slept with his ancestors and was buried in the garden of his own house, in the garden of Uzza. 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 began to reign; he reigned two years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Meshullemeth; she was 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 what was evil in the sight of Yahweh, 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.
Amon followed in all the way that his father had walked in and worshiped the idols that his father worshiped, and bowed down to them.
22 Konsa, li te abandone SENYÈ a, Bondye a zansèt li yo, e li pa t mache nan chemen SENYÈ a.
He abandoned Yahweh, the God of his fathers, and did not walk in the way of Yahweh.
23 Sèvitè a Amon yo te fè konplo kont li e yo te touye wa a nan pwòp kay li.
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.
But the people of the land killed all those who had conspired against King Amon, and they 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?
As for the other matters concerning Amon that he did, are they not written in the book of the events 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.
The people buried him in his tomb in the garden of Uzza, and Josiah his son became king in his place.
