II Na Lii 21
1 HE umikumamalua na makahiki o Manase, i kona wa i lilo ai i alii, a he kanalimakumamalima na makahiki ana i alii ai ma Ierusalema, A o Hepeziba ka inoa o kona makuwahine.
Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to rule. He ruled Judah for 55 years from Jerusalem. His mother was Hephzibah.
2 A hana ino aku la ia imua o Iehova, e like me na mea haumia o na lahuikanaka a Iehova i kipaku ae mai ke alo aku o na mamo a Iseraela.
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 A hana hou aku la ia i na heiau a Hezekia a kona makuakane i wawahi ai; a kukulu iho la ia i na kuahu no Baala, a hana hoi i kii o Aseterota, e like me ka hana a Ahaba, ke alii o ka Iseraela; a hoomana aku la i na puali a pau o ka lani, a malama ia lakou.
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 A hana aku la ia i na kuahu iloko o ka hale o Iehova, kahi a Iehova i i mai ai, Ma Ierusalema e waiho ai au i ko'u inoa.
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 Hana aku la hoi ia i na kuahu no na puali a pau o ka lani ma na pahale elua o ka hale o Iehova.
He directed that altars for worshiping the stars be built in both of the courtyards outside the temple.
6 A kaumaha aku la ia i kana keikikane i ke ahi, a nana i ke ao, a hookilokilo, a ninau i na uhane ino, a i na kupua; ua nui kana hana hewa ana imua o Iehova e hoonaukiuki ia ia.
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 A kukulu iho la no ia i kii kalaiia no Aseterota, ka mea ana i hana'i, ma ka hale, kahi a Iehova i i mai ai ia Davida a ia Solomona kana keiki, Ma keia hale, a ma Ierusalema, ka mea a'u i wae ai mailoko mai o na ohana a pau o ka Iseraela, e waiho mau loa ai au i ko'u inoa:
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 Aole hoi au e hoonee hou aku i ka wawae o ka Iseraela mai ka aina aku a'u i haawi aku ai i ko lakou poe kupuna, ke makaala io lakou e hana, e like me na mea a pau a'u i kauoha aku ai ia lakou, a me ke kanawai a pau a Mose ka'u kauwa i kauoha aku ai ia lakou.
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 Aole hoi lakou i lohe; aka, hoowalewale ae la o Manase ia lakou e hookela aku i ka hana hewa ana mamua o ko na lahuikanaka a Iehova i luku ai imua o ka poe mamo a Iseraela.
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 A olelo mai o Iehova ma kana poe kauwa ma na kaula, i mai la,
[These are some of the things that] the prophets said many times, messages that Yahweh had given them:
11 No ka mea, ua hana aku o Manase i keia mau mea haumia, i ka hewa oi aku imua o na mea a pau a ka Amora i hana'i mamua ona, a ua hoolilo i ka Iuda i ka hewa ma kona mau kii;
“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 No ia mea, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova ke Akua o ka Iseraela, Aia hoi, e lawe mai ana au i ka ino maluna o Ierusalema, a o ka Iuda, i ka mea e kani ai na pepeiao elua o na mea a pau i lohe.
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 A e kau aku au maluna o Ierusalema i ke kaulaana o Samaria, a me ka mea kaupaona o ko ka hale o Ahaba; a e holoi maloo aku au ia Ierusalema, e like me ka mea nana e holoi maloo ke kiaha, holoi no ia, a huli ia ia ilalo ke alo.
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 A e haalele au i ke koena o ko'u hooilina, a e haawi aku au ia lakou iloko o ka lima o ko lakou poe enemi; a e lilo lakou i poe pio, a i waiwai pio no ko lakou poe enemi;
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 No ka mea, ua hana hewa lakou imua o'u, a ua hoonaukiuki lakou ia'u mai ka manawa mai a ko lakou poe kupuna i puka ae mai Aigupita mai a hiki i keia wa.
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 I hookahe ae la o Manase i ke koko hala ole he nui loa, a hoopiha iho la oia ia Ierusalema mai kela aoao a hiki i keia aoao; he okoa kona hewa, o ka hoolilo ana i ka Iuda i ka hewa e hana hewa imua o Iehova.
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 A o na hana i koe a Manase, a o na mea a pau ana i hana'i, a o kona hewa ana i hewa'i, aole anei i kakauia lakou iloko o ka buke oihanaalii a na'lii o ka Iuda?
[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 A hiamoe iho la o Manase me kona poe kupuna, a kanuia oia ma ke kihapai o kona hale, ma ke kihapai o Uza: a noho alii iho la o Amona kana keiki ma kona hakahaka.
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 He iwakaluakumamalua na makahiki o Amona i kona wa i lilo ai i alii: a elua makahiki o kona noho alii ana ma Ierusalema. A o Mesulemeta ka inoa o kona makuwahine. ke kaikamahine a Haruza no Ioteba.
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 A hana ino aku la ia imua o Iehova e like me ka Manase, ka kona makuakane i hana'i.
Amon did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil, like his father Manasseh had done.
21 A hele aku ia ma na aoao a pau a kona makuakane i hele ai, a malama aku i na kii a kona makuakane i malama'i, a hoomana aku la ia lakou.
He imitated the behavior of his father, and he worshiped the same idols that his father had worshiped [DOU].
22 Haalele no oia ia Iehova ke Akua o kona poe kupuna, aole ia i hele ma ka aoao o Iehova.
He abandoned Yahweh, the God whom his ancestors [had worshiped], and did not behave as Yahweh wanted him to.
23 A kipi ae la na kauwa a Amona ia ia, a pepehi iho la i ke alii maloko o kona hale iho.
Then one day some of his officials plotted to kill him. They assassinated him in the palace.
24 A pepehi aku la na kanaka o ka aina i ka poe a pau i kipi i ke alii ia Amona; a hooalii aku la na kanaka o ka aina ia Iosia kana keiki ma kona hakahaka.
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 A o na mea i koe a Amona i hana'i, aole anei i kakania lakou iloko o ka buke oihanaalii a na'lii o ka Iuda?
[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’.
26 A kanu lakou ia ia iloko o kona halelua iho ma ke kihapai o Uza; a noho alii iho la o Iosia kana keiki ma kona hakahaka.
Amon was also buried in the tomb in the garden that Uzza [had made]. Then Amon’s son Josiah became the king.
