2 Ndị Eze 21

1 Manase gbara afọ iri na abụọ mgbe ọ malitere ịbụ eze. Ọ chịrị iri afọ ise na ise na Jerusalem. Aha nne ya bụ Hefziba.

Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign; and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Hephzibah.

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.

He did that which was evil in the sight of YHWH, after the abominations of the nations whom YHWH cast out before the children of Israel.

3 O wugharịrị ebe dị elu niile nke nna ya Hezekaya lara nʼiyi. O wukwara ebe ịchụ aja dị iche iche nye Baal, pịakwa ogidi Ashera, dịka Ehab eze Izrel mere. Ọ kpọrọ isiala nye usuu ihe niile nke dị na mbara eluigwe, feekwa ha ofufe.

For he built again the high places which Hezekiah his father had destroyed; and he reared up altars for Baal, and made an Asherah, as did Ahab king of Israel, and worshiped 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, “Ọ bụ na Jerusalem ka m ga-etinye Aha m.”

He built altars in the house of YHWH, of which YHWH said, "I will put my name in Jerusalem."

5 O wuru ebe ịchụ aja nye usuu ihe niile dị na mbara eluigwe, nʼogige abụọ nke nʼụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị.

He built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of YHWH.

6 O jikwa nwa ya nwoke chụọ aja nʼime ọkụ, ọ gbara aja, 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 ya iwe.

He made his son to pass through the fire, and practiced sorcery, and practiced divination, and consulted mediums, and spiritists: he worked much evil in the sight of YHWH, to provoke him to anger.

7 O were chi Ashera a pịrị apị, bụ nke o mere, debe nʼime ụlọnsọ ahụ, nke Onyenwe anyị 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.

He set the engraved image of Asherah, that he had made, in the house of which YHWH said to David and to Solomon his son, "In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, will I put my name forever;

8 Ma agaghị emekwa ka ụkwụ ndị Izrel wagharịa ọzọ site nʼala ahụ nke m nyere ndị nna nna ha, naanị ma ọ bụrụ na ha elezie anya debe ihe niile m nyere ha nʼiwu ma debekwa iwu niile nke ohu m bụ Mosis nyere ha.”

neither will I cause the feet of Israel to wander any more out of the land which I gave their fathers, if only they will observe to do according to all that I have commanded them, and according to all the law that my servant Moses commanded them."

9 Ma ha egeghị ntị, Manase duhiere ha, mee ka ha mee ihe dị njọ karịa nke ndị mba niile ndị Onyenwe anyị lara nʼiyi site nʼihu ndị Izrel.

But they did not listen: and Manasseh seduced them to do that which is evil more than the nations did whom YHWH destroyed before the children of Israel.

10 Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị kwuru okwu site nʼọnụ ndị amụma ya, sị,

YHWH spoke by his servants the prophets, saying,

11 “Nʼihi na Manase, eze Juda emeela ihe arụ ndị a, o meela ihe dị njọ karịa nke ndị Amọrait, bụ ndị bụ ya ụzọ, o werela arụsị ya duba Juda nʼime mmehie.

"Because Manasseh king of Judah has done these abominations, and has done wickedly above all that the Amorites did, who were before him, and has made Judah also to sin with his idols;

12 Ya mere, nke a bụ ihe Onyenwe anyị, bụ Chineke nke Izrel, sịrị: Lee, ana m aga iweta mbibi dị ukwuu nke ga-adakwasị Jerusalem na Juda, nke ntị ọbụla nụrụ ya ga-azụ wuruwuru.

therefore thus says YHWH, the God of Israel, 'Look, I bring such disaster on Jerusalem and Judah, that whoever hears of it, both his ears shall tingle.

13 Aga m esetipụ eriri ịtụ ọtụtụ nke m ji megide Sameria na ihe ịtụ mgbidi nke m ji megide ụlọ Ehab, nʼelu Jerusalem. Aga m ehichapụ Jerusalem dịka mmadụ si ehichapụ efere, hichaa ya ihu na azụ ma kpuo ya ihu nʼala.

I will stretch over Jerusalem the line of Samaria, and the plummet of the house of Ahab; and I will wipe Jerusalem as a man wipes a dish, wiping it and turning it upside down.

14 Aga m agbakụtakwa ndị fọdụrụ nʼihe nketa m azụ, were ha nyefee nʼaka ndị iro ha. Ha ga-aghọ ihe anaara nʼike, ghọọkwa ihe nkwata nʼagha nye ndị iro ha niile,

I will cast off the remnant of my inheritance, and deliver them into the hand of their enemies. They will become a prey and a spoil to all their enemies;

15 nʼihi na ha emeela ihe dị njọ nʼanya m, kpasukwaa m iwe, site nʼụbọchị nna nna ha si Ijipt pụta ọbụladị ruo taa.”

because they have done that which is evil in my sight, and have provoked me to anger, since the day their fathers came forth out of Egypt, even to this day.'"

16 Nke ka nke, Manase gbukwara ọtụtụ ndị aka ha dị ọcha, ruo na ọ wụsaara ọbara ha site nʼotu akụkụ Jerusalem ruo nʼakụkụ nke ọzọ ya, nke a agụnyeghị mmehie ahụ nke o dubara ndị Juda ime, nke mere ka ha mee ihe dị njọ nʼanya Onyenwe anyị.

Moreover Manasseh shed innocent blood very much, until he had filled Jerusalem from one end to another; besides his sin with which he made Judah to sin, in doing that which was evil in the sight of YHWH.

17 Ma banyere ihe ndị ọzọ niile mere nʼoge ọchịchị Manase na ihe niile o mere, tinyere mmehie niile nke o mere, ọ bụ na e deghị ha nʼakwụkwọ akụkọ ihe mere nʼoge ndị eze Juda?

Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and all that he did, and his sin that he sinned, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

18 Manase soro ndị nna nna ya ha dina nʼọnwụ, e lie ya nʼime ubi a gbara ogige nʼụlọeze ya, bụ ubi Ụza a gbara ogige. Amọn nwa ya ghọrọ eze nʼọnọdụ ya.

Manasseh slept with his fathers, and was buried in the garden of his own house, in the garden of Uzza: and Amon his son reigned in his place.

19 Amọn gbara iri afọ abụọ na abụọ mgbe ọ malitere ịbụ eze. Ọ chịrị afọ abụọ na Jerusalem. Aha nne ya bụ Meshulemet, ada Haruz onye Jotba.

Amon was twenty-two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned two years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Meshullemeth the daughter of Haruz of Jotbah.

20 O mere ihe dị njọ nʼanya Onyenwe anyị dịka nna ya Manase mere.

He did that which was evil in the sight of YHWH, as Manasseh his father did.

21 Ọ gbasoro ụzọ ahụ niile dị iche nke nna ya gbasoro. O fere arụsị niile nke nna ya fere, kpọọkwa isiala nye ha.

He walked in all the way that his father walked in, and served the idols that his father served, and worshiped them:

22 Ọ jụrụ iso Onyenwe anyị, bụ Chineke nna nna ya ha, jụkwa ibi ndụ irube isi nye ya.

and he forsook YHWH, the God of his fathers, and did not walk in the way of YHWH.

23 Ndị na-ejere Amọn ozi gbara izu megide ya, ha gburu eze nʼime ụlọeze ya.

The servants of Amon conspired against him, and put the king to death in his own house.

24 Mgbe ahụ, ndị ala ahụ gburu ndị niile ahụ gbara izu megide eze Amọn. Ha mere Josaya nwa ya nwoke eze nʼọnọdụ ya.

But the people of the land killed all those who had conspired against king Amon; and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his place.

25 Ma banyere ihe ndị ọzọ niile mere nʼoge ọchịchị Amọn na ihe ndị o mere, ọ bụ na e deghị ha nʼakwụkwọ akụkọ ihe mere nʼoge ndị eze Juda?

Now the rest of the acts of Amon which he did, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

26 E liri ya nʼili nke aka ya, dị nʼogige Ụza. Josaya nwa ya ghọrọ eze nʼọnọdụ ya.

He was buried in his tomb in the garden of Uzza: and Josiah his son reigned in his place.
