2 Sarakuna 21
1 Manasse yana da shekara goma sha biyu sa’ad da ya zama sarki, ya yi mulki shekara hamsin da biyar a Urushalima. Sunan mahaifiyarsa Hefziba.
Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to rule. He ruled Judah for 55 years from Jerusalem. His mother was Hephzibah.
2 Ya aikata mugunta a gaban Ubangiji, ya bi munanan al’adun al’umman da Ubangiji ya kora a gaban Isra’ilawa.
He did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil. He imitated the disgusting things that were formerly done by the people of the nations that Yahweh had expelled from the land of Israel as his people advanced [through the land].
3 Ya sāke gina masujadan da mahaifinsa Hezekiya ya rurrushe. Ya kuma gina wa Ba’al bagadai. Ya kafa ginshiƙin Ashera kamar yadda Ahab sarkin Isra’ila ya yi. Ya durƙusa wa dukan rundunan taurari ya yi musu sujada.
He commanded his workers to rebuild the shrines [for worshiping Yahweh] that his father Hezekiah had destroyed [because they were not in the place that Yahweh had said they should worship him]. He directed his workers to build altars for worshiping Baal. He made [a statue of the goddess] Asherah, like Ahab the king of Israel had done [previously]. And Manasseh worshiped [DOU] the stars.
4 Ya gina bagadai a haikalin Ubangiji, wurin da Ubangiji ya ce, “A Urushalima ne zan sa Sunana.”
He directed his workers to build altars [for worshiping foreign gods] in the temple of Yahweh, about which Yahweh had said, “It is here in Jerusalem where I want people to worship [MTY] me, forever.”
5 Cikin filaye biyu na haikalin Ubangiji kuwa, ya gina bagadai na dukan rundunan taurari.
He directed that altars for worshiping the stars be built in both of the courtyards outside the temple.
6 Ya miƙa ɗansa hadaya ta ƙonawa, ya yi sihiri da tsubu, ya tuntuɓi masu duba da masu ruhohi. Ya aikata mugunta ƙwarai a gaban Ubangiji, ya sa Ubangiji ya yi fushi.
He even sacrificed his own son by burning [him in a fire]. He performed rituals to practice sorcery and magic rituals. He also went to people who consulted the spirits of dead people to find out what would happen in the future. He did many things that Yahweh considered to be extremely evil, things that caused Yahweh to become very angry.
7 Ya ɗauki siffar ginshiƙin Asherar da ya yi, ya sa a haikalin da Ubangiji ya ce wa Dawuda da ɗansa Solomon, “A cikin wannan haikali, da kuma cikin Urushalima inda na zaɓa daga kabilan Isra’ila, zan sa Sunana har abada.
He placed the statue of the goddess Asherah in the temple, the place about which Yahweh had said to David and his son Solomon, “My temple will be here in Jerusalem. This is the city that I have chosen from all the territory of the twelve tribes of Israel, where I want people to worship me, forever.
8 Ba zan ƙara sa Isra’ilawa su fita daga ƙasar da na ba kakanninsu ba, idan dai za su kula su aikata dukan abin da na umarce su, su kuma kiyaye dukan dokokin da na ba wa bawana Musa yă umarce su.”
And if the Israeli people obey all my commands and all the laws that I gave to Moses, the man who served me [very well], I will not again force them to leave this land that I gave to their ancestors.”
9 Amma mutanen ba su kasa kunne ba. Manasse ya ɓad da su, har suka yi muguntar da ta fi ta al’umman da Ubangiji ya hallaka a gaban Isra’ilawa.
But the people did not heed Yahweh. And Manasseh persuaded them to commit sins that are more evil than the sins that were committed by the people of the nations that Yahweh had expelled from the land as the Israeli people advanced.
10 Ubangiji ya yi magana ta bakin bayinsa annabawa,
[These are some of the things that] the prophets said many times, messages that Yahweh had given them:
11 “Manasse, sarkin Yahuda ya aikata waɗannan ƙazantattun zunubai. Ya aikata mugunta fiye da ta Amoriyawan da suka riga shi, ya kuma sa Yahuda ta bauɗe ta wurin yin zunubi saboda gumakansa.
“Manasseh, the king of Judah, has done these abominable things, things that are much worse than the things that the Amor people-group did in this land long ago. He has persuaded the people of Judah to sin by [worshiping] idols.
12 Saboda haka ga abin da Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila ya ce, zan jawo wa Urushalima da kuma Yahuda masifar da duk kunnen da ya ji, sai ya kusa suma.
Therefore, this is what I, Yahweh, the God whom you Israeli people worship, say: I will the cause the people of Jerusalem and the rest of Judah to experience great disasters. It will be terrible, with the result that everyone who hears about it will be stunned [MTY].
13 Zan auna Urushalima da ma’aunin da na yi amfani da shi a kan Samariya, zan kuma yi amfani da magwajin da na yi amfani da shi a kan gidan Ahab. Zan shafe Urushalima yadda mutum yake wanke kwano yă kife.
I will judge and punish [MET] the people of Jerusalem like I punished the family of King Ahab [of Israel]. I will (wipe Jerusalem clean/remove all the people from Jerusalem), like [MET] people wipe a plate and then turn it upside down [after they have finished eating, to show that they are now satisfied].
14 Zan rabu da ragowar gādona, in kuma miƙa su ga maƙiyansu. Abokan gābansu za su washe suka kuma kwashi ganima daga gare su,
And I will abandon the people who remain alive, and I will allow their enemies to conquer them and steal everything valuable from their land.
15 domin sun aikata mugunta a idanuna, suka kuma tsokane ni tun daga ranar da kakanninsu suka fito daga Masar, har yă zuwa yau.”
I will do this because my people have done things that I consider to be very evil, things which have caused me to become very angry. They have caused me to become angry continually, ever since their ancestors left Egypt.”
16 Ban da haka ma, Manasse ya zub da jinin marasa laifi har ya cika Urushalima daga wannan ɓangare zuwa wancan, ban da zunubin da ya sa Yahuda ta aikata, ta haka suka yi mugunta a gaban Ubangiji.
Manasseh [commanded his officials to] kill many innocent people in Jerusalem, with the result that their blood flowed in the streets. He did this in addition to persuading the people of Judah to sin against Yahweh [by worshiping idols].
17 Game da sauran ayyukan mulkin Manasse, da duk abin da ya yi, har da zunubin da ya aikata, duk a rubuce suke a cikin littafin tarihin sarakunan Yahuda.
[If you want to know more about] all the things that Manasseh did, they are written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.
18 Manasse ya huta tare da kakanninsa, aka kuma binne shi a lambun fadansa, lambun Uzza. Sai Amon ɗansa ya gāje shi.
Manasseh died [EUP] and was buried in the garden outside his palace, the garden that Uzza [had made]. Then Manasseh’s son Amon became the king.
19 Amon yana da shekara ashirin da biyu sa’ad da ya zama sarki, ya yi mulki shekara biyu a Urushalima. Sunan mahaifiyarsa Meshullemet’yar Haruz; ita mutuniyar Yotba ce.
Amon was twenty-two years old when he became king. He ruled Judah from Jerusalem for [only] two years. His mother’s name was Meshullemeth. She was from Jotbah [town], and was the granddaughter of Haruz.
20 Ya aikata mugunta a gaban Ubangiji, yadda Manasse mahaifinsa ya yi.
Amon did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil, like his father Manasseh had done.
21 Ya bi duk gurbin mahaifinsa a kome, ya yi sujada ga gumakan da mahaifinsa ya yi wa, ya kuma durƙusa musu.
He imitated the behavior of his father, and he worshiped the same idols that his father had worshiped [DOU].
22 Ya rabu da Ubangiji Allah na kakanninsa, bai kuwa yi tafiya a hanyar Ubangiji ba.
He abandoned Yahweh, the God whom his ancestors [had worshiped], and did not behave as Yahweh wanted him to.
23 Fadawan Amon suka ƙulla maƙarƙashiya suka kashe shi a cikin fadarsa.
Then one day some of his officials plotted to kill him. They assassinated him in the palace.
24 Sai mutanen ƙasar suka kashe duk waɗanda suka ƙulla wa Sarki Amon maƙarƙashiya, sa’an nan suka naɗa ɗansa sarki a maimakonsa.
But then the people of Judah killed all those who had assassinated King Amon, and they appointed his son Josiah to be their king.
25 Game da sauran ayyukan mulkin Amon, da abubuwan da ya aikata, duk a rubuce suke a cikin littafin tarihin sarakunan Yahuda.
[If you want to read about] [RHQ] the other things that Amon did, they are written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.
