2 Ihe E Mere 33
1 Manase gbara afọ iri na abụọ mgbe ọ malitere ịbụ eze. Ọ chịrị iri afọ ise na ise na Jerusalem.
Manasses was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem.
2 O mere ihe dị njọ nʼanya Onyenwe anyị, site nʼịgbaso ihe arụ niile nke ndị mba ọzọ bi nʼala ahụ na mbụ mere, bụ ndị Onyenwe anyị chụpụrụ nʼihu ndị Izrel.
And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, according to all the abominations of the heathen, whom the Lord destroyed from before the face of the children of Israel.
3 O wugharịrị ebe dị elu niile nke nna ya Hezekaya kwadara, o wukwara ebe ịchụ aja dị iche iche nke Baal, pịakwa ogidi Ashera dị iche iche. Ọ kpọrọ isiala nye usuu ihe niile nke dị na mbara eluigwe feekwa ha ofufe.
And he returned and built the high places, which his father Ezekias had pulled down, and set up images to Baalim, and made groves, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served them.
4 O wuru ebe ịchụ aja dị iche iche, nʼime ụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị, nke Onyenwe anyị, kwuru okwu banyere ya, sị, “Aha m ga-adịgide na Jerusalem ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.”
And he built altars in the house of the Lord, concerning which the Lord said, In Jerusalem shall be my name for ever.
5 O wuru ebe ịchụ aja nye usuu ihe niile dị na mbara eluigwe nʼogige abụọ dị nʼụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị.
And he built altars to all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the Lord.
6 O jikwa ụmụ ya chụọ aja nʼime ọkụ na Ndagwurugwu nke Ben Hinom. Ọ gbara aja, taa amụsụ, chọọ ọsịsa nʼaka ndị mgbaasị, jụta ase nʼaka ndị na-ajụ mmụọ ọjọọ ase, ya na ndị dibịa afa mekọkwara ihe. O mere ihe dị njọ nʼebe ọ dị ukwuu nʼanya Onyenwe anyị si otu a kpasuo iwe ya.
He also passed his children through the fire in the valley of Benennom; and he divined, and used auspices, and sorceries, and appointed those who had divining spirits, and enchanters, and wrought abundant wickedness before the Lord, to provoke him.
7 O were oyiyi apịrị apị nke o mere debe nʼime ụlọnsọ Chineke, nke Chineke gwara Devid na nwa ya Solomọn okwu sị, “Nʼụlọnsọ a na nʼime Jerusalem, nke mụ onwe m họpụtara site nʼebo niile nke Izrel, ka m ga-akpọkwasị Aha m ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.
And he set the graven [image], the molten [statue], the idol which he made, in the house of God, of which God had said to David and to Solomon his son, In this house, and Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, I will put my name for ever;
8 Ma agaghị emekwa ka ụkwụ ndị Izrel hapụ ala ahụ nke m kenyere nna nna unu, naanị ma ọ bụrụ na ha elezie anya debe ihe niile m nyere ha nʼiwu banyere iwu niile, ụkpụrụ niile na ntụziaka niile m nyere site nʼaka Mosis.”
and I will not again remove the foot of Israel from the land which I gave to their fathers, if only they will take heed to do all things which I have commanded them, according to all the law and the ordinances and the judgments [given] by the hand of Moses.
9 Ma Manase duhiere Juda na ndị Jerusalem, mee ka ha mee ihe dị njọ karịa nke ndị mba niile ndị Onyenwe anyị lara nʼiyi site nʼihu ndị Izrel.
So Manasses led astray Juda and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, to do evil beyond all the nations which the Lord cast out from before the children of Israel.
10 Onyenwe anyị gwara Manase na ndị ya okwu, ma ha egeghị ntị.
And the Lord spoke to Manasses, and to his people: but they hearkened not.
11 Nʼihi ya, Onyenwe anyị mere ka ndị ọchịagha nke eze ndị Asịrịa bịa buso ha agha, bụ ndị jidere Manase, gbanye ya nko igwe nʼimi, were ụdọ bronz kee ya agbụ, kpọrọ ya laa Babilọn.
And the Lord brought upon them the captains of the host of the king of Assyria, and they took Manasses in bonds, and bound him in fetters, and brought him to Babylon.
12 Nʼoge ahụ ka anya doro Manase. O wedara onwe ya ala nke ukwuu, rịọọ amara site nʼaka Onyenwe anyị Chineke nna nna ya.
And when he was afflicted, he sought the face of the Lord his God, and was greatly humbled before the face of the God of his fathers;
13 Onyenwe anyị nụrụ arịrịọ ya mee ya ka ọ lọtakwa nʼalaeze ya na Jerusalem. Mgbe ahụ, Manase matara na Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke nʼezie.
and he prayed to him: and he hearkened to him, and listened to his cry, and brought him back to Jerusalem to his kingdom: and Manasses knew that the Lord he is God.
14 Ọ bụ nʼoge a ka o wughachiri mgbidi nke abụọ gburugburu obodo Devid, na mgbidi dị nʼọdịda anyanwụ iyi Gaihọn na ndagwurugwu Kidrọn. Site nʼebe ahụ, o wuru ya ruo nʼọnụ ụzọ ama Azụ, na gburugburu ugwu Ofel ebe o wuliri ya elu. O dokwara ndịisi agha ya nʼobodo niile e wusiri ike dị na Juda.
And afterward he built a wall without the city of David, from the southwest southward in the valleys and at the entrance through the fish-gate, as men go out by the gate round about, even as far as Opel: and he raised it much, and set captains of the host in all the fortified cities in Juda.
15 O wezugara chi ndị mba ọzọ niile, wepụkwa oyiyi ahụ o tinyere nʼụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị, kụtuokwa ụlọ arụsị o wuru nʼugwu ụlọnsọ, na ndị nke o wuru na Jerusalem. O sitere nʼobodo bufuo ha.
And he removed the strange gods, and the graven [image] out of the house of the Lord, and all the altars which he had built in the mount of the house of the Lord, and in Jerusalem, and without the city.
16 Emesịa, o wugharịrị ebe ịchụ aja Onyenwe anyị dị nʼụlọnsọ ukwu Chineke, chụọ aja udo na aja ekele nʼelu ya. O nyekwara ndị Juda niile iwu sị ha fee Onyenwe anyị Chineke nke Izrel ofufe.
And he repaired the altar of the Lord, and offered upon it a sacrifice of peace-offering and thank-offering, and he told Juda to serve the Lord God of Israel.
17 Ma ụfọdụ ndị Juda nọgidekwara na-achụ aja nʼugwu, maọbụ naanị Onyenwe anyị Chineke ha ka ha na-achụrụ aja ndị a.
Nevertheless the people still sacrificed on the high places, only to the Lord their God.
18 Ma banyere ihe ndị ọzọ niile mere nʼoge ọchịchị Manase na ekpere nke o kpeere Chineke ya, na okwu niile ndị ọhụ gwara ya nʼaha Onyenwe anyị, bụ Chineke nke Izrel, ka e dere nʼakwụkwọ akụkọ ihe e mere nʼoge ndị eze Izrel niile.
And the rest of the acts of Manasses, and his prayer to God, and the words of the seers that spoke to him in the name of the God of Israel,
19 Ekpere ya, na ọsịsa Chineke zara ya, na mmehie ya niile, na-ekwesighị ntụkwasị obi ya, na ebe niile o wuru ụlọ arụsị nʼelu ugwu, na ebe ọ manyere ogidi arụsị Ashera, na arụsị ndị ọzọ, tupu o weda onwe ya ala, ka e dere nʼakwụkwọ akụkọ ndị amụma.
behold, [they are] in the account of his prayer; and [God] hearkened to him. And all his sins, and his backslidings, and the spots on which he built the high places, and set there groves and graven images, before he repented, behold, they are written in the books of the seers.
20 Manase sooro ndị nna nna ya ha dina nʼọnwụ, e lie ya nʼụlọeze ya. Amọn, ọkpara ya, nọchiri ya.
And Manasses slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the garden of his house: and Amon his son reigned in his stead.
21 Amọn gbara iri afọ abụọ na abụọ mgbe ọ malitere ịbụ eze. Ọ chịrị afọ abụọ na Jerusalem.
Amon was twenty and two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem.
22 O mere ihe dị njọ nʼanya Onyenwe anyị dịka nna ya Manase mere. Amọn kpọrọ isiala, chụọkwa aja nye arụsị niile, nke Manase mere.
And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, as his father Manasses did: and Amon sacrificed to all the idols which his father Manasses had made, and served them.
23 Ma o wedaghị onwe ya ala nʼihu Onyenwe anyị dịka Manase nna ya mere. Kama Amọn gara nʼihu mee ka ikpe ọmụma ya mụbaa.
And he was not humbled before the Lord as his father Manasses was humbled; for his son Amon abounded in transgression.
24 Ndị na-ejere Amọn ozi gbara izu megide ya, ha gburu ya nʼime ụlọeze ya.
And his servants conspired against him, and slew him in his house.
25 Mgbe ahụ, ndị ala ahụ gburu ndị niile ahụ gbara izu megide eze Amọn. Ha mere Josaya nwa ya nwoke eze nʼọnọdụ ya.
And the people of the land slew the men who had conspired against king Amon; and the people of the land made Josias his son king in his stead.
