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 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 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 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 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.
And he built altars in the house of the Lord, concerning which the Lord said, In Jerusalem shall be my name for ever.
5 Di kedua halaman Rumah TUHAN itu ia mendirikan mezbah-mezbah untuk penyembahan kepada bintang-bintang.
And he built altars to 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.
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 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.
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 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 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 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 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 TUHAN menegur Manasye dan rakyatnya, tetapi mereka tidak mau mendengar.
And the Lord spoke to Manasses, and to his people: but they listened not.
11 Karena itu TUHAN mendatangkan para panglima tentara Asyur untuk menyerang Yehuda. Manasye ditangkap dengan kaitan, lalu dibelenggu dan diangkut ke Babel.
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 Dalam penderitaannya itu ia merendahkan diri terhadap TUHAN Allahnya, dan berdoa mohon pertolongan-Nya.
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 Allah mengabulkan doa Manasye dan mengembalikan dia ke Yerusalem untuk memerintah lagi. Karena kejadian itu Manasye menjadi yakin bahwa TUHAN adalah Allah.
and he prayed to him: and he listened 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 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.
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 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 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 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 offered upon it a sacrifice of peace-offering and thank-offering, and he told Juda to serve the Lord God of Israel.
17 Rakyat masih mempersembahkan kurban di tempat-tempat penyembahan lain, tetapi persembahan itu adalah untuk TUHAN.
Nevertheless the people still sacrificed on the high places, only 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.
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 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.
behold, [they are] in the account of his prayer; and [God] listened 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 Manasye meninggal dan dimakamkan di istana. Amon putranya menjadi raja menggantikan dia.
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 Amon berumur 22 tahun ketika ia menjadi raja Yehuda, dan ia memerintah di Yerusalem dua tahun lamanya.
Amon was twenty and two 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 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 Tetapi, berbeda dengan ayahnya, Amon tidak merendahkan diri dan tidak kembali kepada TUHAN; ia malahan lebih berdosa dari ayahnya.
And he was not humbled before the Lord as his father Manasses was humbled; for his son Amon abounded in transgression.
24 Pegawai-pegawai Raja Amon berkomplot melawan dia dan membunuhnya di istana.
And his servants conspired against him, and killed him in his house.
25 Tetapi rakyat Yehuda membunuh para pembunuh Raja Amon itu, lalu mengangkat Yosia anaknya menjadi raja.
And the people of the land killed the men who had conspired against king Amon; and the people of the land made Josias his son king in his stead.
