2 Tawarikh 33
1 Manasye berumur 12 tahun ketika ia menjadi raja Yehuda dan ia memerintah di Yerusalem 55 tahun lamanya.
Manasses was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem.
2 Ia berdosa kepada TUHAN, karena mengikuti kebiasaan-kebiasaan jahat bangsa-bangsa yang diusir TUHAN dari Kanaan pada waktu orang Israel memasuki negeri itu.
And he did evil before the Lord, according to all the abominations of the nations, which the Lord cast out before the children of Israel:
3 Tempat-tempat penyembahan berhala yang telah dimusnahkan Hizkia, ayahnya, dibangunnya kembali. Ia membangun mezbah-mezbah untuk beribadat kepada Baal, dan ia membuat patung-patung Dewi Asyera, serta menyembah bintang-bintang.
And he turned, and built again the high places which Ezechias his father had destroyed: and he built altars to Baalim, and made groves, and he adored all the host of heaven, and worshipped them.
4 TUHAN telah berkata bahwa untuk selama-lamanya Yerusalem adalah tempat untuk beribadat kepada-Nya, tetapi di sana di Rumah TUHAN itu, Manasye telah mendirikan mezbah-mezbah untuk dewa-dewa.
He built also altars in the house of the Lord, whereof the Lord had said: In Jerusalem shall my name be for ever.
5 Di kedua halaman Rumah TUHAN itu ia mendirikan mezbah-mezbah untuk penyembahan kepada bintang-bintang.
And he built them for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the Lord.
6 Anak-anaknya dipersembahkannya sebagai kurban bakaran di Lembah Hinom. Ia juga melakukan praktek-praktek pedukunan, penujuman, ilmu gaib, dan meminta petunjuk kepada roh-roh. Ia sangat berdosa kepada TUHAN sehingga membangkitkan kemarahan TUHAN.
And he made his sons to pass through the fire in the valley of Benennom: he observed dreams, followed divinations, gave himself up to magic arts, had with him magicians, and enchanters: and he wrought many evils before the Lord, to provoke him to anger.
7 Patung berhala ditaruhnya di dalam Rumah TUHAN, padahal mengenai tempat itu Allah telah berkata kepada Daud dan Salomo putranya, "Rumah-Ku di Yerusalem ini, yang telah Kupilih dari antara kedua belas wilayah suku Israel, adalah tempat yang Kutentukan sebagai tempat ibadat kepada-Ku untuk selama-lamanya.
He set also a graven, and a molten statue in the house of God, of which God had 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 for ever.
8 Kalau umat Israel mentaati semua perintah-Ku dan menuruti hukum-hukum yang diberikan Musa hamba-Ku kepada mereka, maka Aku tidak akan membiarkan mereka diusir dari negeri yang telah Kuberikan kepada leluhur mereka."
And I will not make the foot of Israel to be removed out of the land which I have delivered to their fathers: yet so if they will take heed to do what I hare commanded them, and all the law, and the ceremonies, and judgments by the hand of Moses.
9 Manasye menyebabkan rakyat Yehuda melakukan dosa-dosa yang lebih jahat dari dosa yang dilakukan oleh bangsa-bangsa yang diusir TUHAN dari Kanaan pada waktu umat TUHAN memasuki negeri itu.
So Manasses seduced Juda, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, to do evil beyond all the nations, which the Lord had destroyed before the face of the children of Israel.
10 TUHAN menegur Manasye dan rakyatnya, tetapi mereka tidak mau mendengar.
And the Lord spoke to him, and to his people, and they would not hearken.
11 Karena itu TUHAN mendatangkan para panglima tentara Asyur untuk menyerang Yehuda. Manasye ditangkap dengan kaitan, lalu dibelenggu dan diangkut ke Babel.
Therefore he brought upon them the captains of the army of the king of the Assyrians: and they took Manasses, and carried him bound with chains and fetters to Babylon.
12 Dalam penderitaannya itu ia merendahkan diri terhadap TUHAN Allahnya, dan berdoa mohon pertolongan-Nya.
And after that he was in distress he prayed to the Lord his God: and did penance exceedingly before the God of his fathers.
13 Allah mengabulkan doa Manasye dan mengembalikan dia ke Yerusalem untuk memerintah lagi. Karena kejadian itu Manasye menjadi yakin bahwa TUHAN adalah Allah.
And he entreated him, and besought him earnestly: and he heard his prayer, and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom, and Manasses knew that the Lord was God.
14 Kemudian Manasye mempertinggi tembok luar di bagian timur Kota Daud. Ia mulai dari satu tempat di lembah dekat mata air Gihon lalu terus ke utara sampai ke Pintu Gerbang Ikan dan bagian kota yang disebut Ofel. Di setiap kota berbenteng di Yehuda, ia menempatkan juga seorang panglima.
After this he built a wall without the city of David, on the west side of Gihon in the valley, from the entering in of the fish gate round about to Ophel, and raised it up to a great height: and he appointed captains of the army in all the fenced cities of Juda:
15 Ia menyingkirkan patung-patung dewa bangsa lain serta berhala-berhala yang telah diletakkannya di Rumah TUHAN. Ia membongkar mezbah-mezbah berhala yang berada di bukit Rumah TUHAN, dan di tempat-tempat lain di Yerusalem. Semuanya itu dibawanya ke luar kota lalu dibuang.
And he took away the strange gods, and the idol out of the house of the Lord: the altars also which he had made in the mount of the house of the Lord, and in Jerusalem, and he cast them all out of the city.
16 Kemudian ia memperbaiki mezbah tempat ibadat kepada TUHAN, lalu mempersembahkan di situ kurban perdamaian dan kurban syukur. Semua orang Yehuda disuruhnya beribadat kepada TUHAN Allah Israel.
And he repaired the altar of the Lord, and sacrificed upon it victims, and peace offerings, and praise: and he commanded Juda to serve the Lord the God of Israel.
17 Rakyat masih mempersembahkan kurban di tempat-tempat penyembahan lain, tetapi persembahan itu adalah untuk TUHAN.
Nevertheless the people still sacrificed in the high places to the Lord their God.
18 Kisah lainnya mengenai Manasye, dan mengenai doanya kepada Allah, serta pesan-pesan Allah yang disampaikan kepadanya oleh nabi-nabi atas nama TUHAN, Allah Israel, semuanya sudah dicatat di dalam buku Sejarah Raja-raja Israel.
But the rest of the acts of Manasses, and his prayer to his God, and the words of the seers that spoke to him in the name of the Lord the God of Israel, are contained in the words of the kings of Israel.
19 Dalam buku Sejarah Nabi-nabi sudah dicatat juga doa Manasye dan jawaban Allah atas doa itu, serta kisah tentang dosa-dosanya sebelum ia bertobat, tempat-tempat penyembahan berhala dan patung-patung Dewi Asyera yang dibuatnya, dan berhala-berhala yang disembahnya.
His prayer also, and his being heard, and all his sins, and contempt, and places wherein he built high places, and set up groves, and statues before he did penance, are written in the words of Hozai.
20 Manasye meninggal dan dimakamkan di istana. Amon putranya menjadi raja menggantikan dia.
And Manasses slept with his fathers. and they buried him in his house: and his son Amen reigned in his stead.
21 Amon berumur 22 tahun ketika ia menjadi raja Yehuda, dan ia memerintah di Yerusalem dua tahun lamanya.
Amen was two and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem.
22 Seperti ayahnya ia pun berdosa kepada TUHAN. Ia menyembah berhala-berhala yang disembah ayahnya dan mempersembahkan kurban kepada berhala-berhala itu.
And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, as Manasses his father had done: and he sacrificed to all the idols which Manasses his father had made, and served them.
23 Tetapi, berbeda dengan ayahnya, Amon tidak merendahkan diri dan tidak kembali kepada TUHAN; ia malahan lebih berdosa dari ayahnya.
And he did not humble himself before the Lord, as Manasses his father had humbled himself, but committed far greater sins.
24 Pegawai-pegawai Raja Amon berkomplot melawan dia dan membunuhnya di istana.
And his servants conspired against him, and slew him in his own house.
25 Tetapi rakyat Yehuda membunuh para pembunuh Raja Amon itu, lalu mengangkat Yosia anaknya menjadi raja.
But the rest of the multitude of the people slew them that had killed Amen, and made Josias his son king in his stead.
