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.
Manasseh is a son of twelve years in his reigning, and he has 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 does evil in the eyes of YHWH, like the abominations of the nations that YHWH dispossessed from the presence of the sons 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 turns and builds the high places that his father Hezekiah has broken down, and raises altars for Ba‘alim, and makes Asherim, and bows himself to all the host of the heavens, and serves 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 has built altars in the house of YHWH of which YHWH had said, “My Name is in Jerusalem for all time.”
5 O wuru ebe ịchụ aja nye usuu ihe niile dị na mbara eluigwe nʼogige abụọ dị nʼụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị.
And he builds altars for all the host of the heavens in the two courts of the house of YHWH.
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.
And he has caused his sons to pass over through fire in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, and observed clouds and used enchantments and witchcraft, and dealt with a familiar spirit, and a wizard; he has multiplied to do evil in the eyes of YHWH, to provoke him to anger.
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 places the carved image of the idol that he made in the house of God, of which God said to David, and to his son Solomon, “In this house, and in Jerusalem that I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, I put My Name for all time,
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 do not add to turn aside the foot of Israel from off the ground that I appointed to your fathers, only, if they watch to do all that I have commanded them—to all the Law, and the statutes, and the ordinances 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.
And Manasseh causes Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to err, to do evil above the nations that YHWH destroyed from the presence of the sons of Israel.
10 Onyenwe anyị gwara Manase na ndị ya okwu, ma ha egeghị ntị.
And YHWH speaks to Manasseh and to his people, and they have not attended,
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 YHWH brings in against them the heads of the host that the king of Asshur has, and they capture Manasseh among the thickets, and bind him with bronze chains, and cause him to go 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 is in distress he has appeased the face of his God YHWH, and is exceedingly humbled before 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 prays to Him, and He accepts his plea, and hears his supplication, and brings him back to Jerusalem, to his kingdom, and Manasseh knows that He, YHWH, [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 after this he has built an outer wall for the City of David, on the west of Gihon, in the valley, and at the entering in at the Fish Gate, and it has gone around to the tower, and he makes it exceedingly high, and he puts heads of the force in all the cities of the bulwarks in Judah.
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 turns aside the gods of the stranger, and the idol, out of the house of YHWH, and all the altars that he had built on the mountain of the house of YHWH and in Jerusalem, and casts [them] to the outside of 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 builds the altar of YHWH, and sacrifices on it sacrifices of peace-offerings and thank-offering, and commands to Judah to serve YHWH, 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.
but still the people are sacrificing in high places, only—to their God YHWH.
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 matters of Manasseh, and his prayer to his God, and the matters of the seers, those speaking to him in the Name of YHWH, God of Israel, behold, they are [on the scroll of] the matters of the kings 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.
and his prayer, and his plea, and all his sin, and his trespass, and the places in which he had built high places, and established the Asherim and the carved images before his being humbled, behold, they are written beside the matters of Hozai.
20 Manase sooro ndị nna nna ya ha dina nʼọnwụ, e lie ya nʼụlọeze ya. Amọn, ọkpara ya, nọchiri ya.
And Manasseh lies with his fathers, and they bury him in his own house, and his son Amon reigns in his stead.
21 Amọn gbara iri afọ abụọ na abụọ mgbe ọ malitere ịbụ eze. Ọ chịrị afọ abụọ na Jerusalem.
Amon [is] a son of twenty-two years in his reigning, and he has 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 does evil in the eyes of YHWH, as his father Manasseh did, and Amon has sacrificed to all the carved images that his father Manasseh had made, and serves 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 has not been humbled before YHWH, like the humbling of his father Manasseh, for Amon himself has multiplied guilt.
24 Ndị na-ejere Amọn ozi gbara izu megide ya, ha gburu ya nʼime ụlọeze ya.
And his servants conspire against him and put him to death in his own 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 strike all those conspiring against King Amon, and the people of the land cause his son Josiah to reign in his stead.
