2 Tawarikh 33
1 Manasye berumur dua belas tahun pada waktu ia menjadi raja dan lima puluh lima tahun lamanya ia memerintah di Yerusalem.
Manasses was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem.
2 Ia melakukan apa yang jahat di mata TUHAN, sesuai dengan perbuatan keji bangsa-bangsa yang telah dihalaukan TUHAN dari depan orang Israel.
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 Ia mendirikan kembali bukit-bukit pengorbanan yang telah dirobohkan oleh Hizkia, ayahnya; ia membangun mezbah-mezbah untuk para Baal, membuat patung-patung Asyera dan sujud menyembah kepada segenap tentara langit dan beribadah kepadanya.
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 Ia mendirikan mezbah-mezbah di rumah TUHAN, walaupun sehubungan dengan rumah itu TUHAN telah berfirman: "Di Yerusalem nama-Ku akan tinggal untuk selama-lamanya!"
He built also altars in the house of the Lord, whereof the Lord had said: In Jerusalem shall my name be for ever.
5 Dan ia mendirikan juga mezbah-mezbah bagi segenap tentara langit di kedua pelataran rumah TUHAN.
And he built them for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the Lord.
6 Bahkan, ia mempersembahkan anak-anaknya sebagai korban dalam api di Lebak Ben-Hinom; ia melakukan ramal, telaah dan sihir, dan menghubungi para pemanggil arwah dan para pemanggil roh peramal. Ia melakukan banyak yang jahat di mata TUHAN, sehingga ia menimbulkan sakit hati-Nya.
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 Ia menaruh juga patung berhala yang telah dibuatnya dalam rumah Allah, walaupun Allah telah berfirman kepada Daud dan kepada Salomo, anaknya: "Dalam rumah ini dan di Yerusalem, yang telah Kupilih dari antara segala suku Israel, Aku akan menaruh nama-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 Aku tidak akan membuat pula orang Israel berjejak ke luar dari tanah yang telah Kutentukan untuk nenek moyangmu, asal saja mereka melakukan dengan setia segala yang telah Kuperintahkan kepada mereka dengan perantaraan Musa, yakni segala hukum, ketetapan dan peraturan."
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 Tetapi Manasye menyesatkan Yehuda dan penduduk Yerusalem, sehingga mereka melakukan yang jahat lebih dari pada bangsa-bangsa yang telah dipunahkan TUHAN dari depan orang Israel.
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 Kemudian berfirmanlah TUHAN kepada Manasye dan rakyatnya, tetapi mereka tidak menghiraukannya.
And the Lord spoke to him, and to his people, and they would not hearken.
11 Oleh sebab itu TUHAN mendatangkan kepada mereka panglima-panglima tentara raja Asyur yang menangkap Manasye dengan kaitan, membelenggunya dengan rantai tembaga dan membawanya 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 keadaan yang terdesak ini, ia berusaha melunakkan hati TUHAN, Allahnya; ia sangat merendahkan diri di hadapan Allah nenek moyangnya,
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 dan berdoa kepada-Nya. Maka TUHAN mengabulkan doanya, dan mendengarkan permohonannya. Ia membawanya kembali ke Yerusalem dan memulihkan kedudukannya sebagai raja. Dan Manasye mengakui, bahwa TUHAN itu 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 ia mendirikan tembok luar pada kota Daud, di sebelah Barat Gihon, di lembah, sampai dekat Pintu Gerbang Ikan, mengelilingi Ofel. Tembok itu dibuatnya sangat tinggi. Ia menempatkan juga panglima-panglima perang di tiap kota kubu di Yehuda.
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 menjauhkan allah-allah asing dan berhala dari rumah TUHAN, juga segala mezbah yang didirikannya di atas gunung rumah TUHAN dan di Yerusalem, dan membuangnya ke luar kota.
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 Ia menegakkan kembali mezbah TUHAN, mempersembahkan korban keselamatan dan korban syukur di atasnya, menyerukan kepada Yehuda untuk beribadah 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 Walaupun demikian, rakyat masih mempersembahkan korban di bukit-bukit pengorbanan, tetapi hanya kepada TUHAN, Allah mereka.
Nevertheless the people still sacrificed in the high places to the Lord their God.
18 Selebihnya dari riwayat Manasye, doanya kepada Allahnya, dan ucapan-ucapan para pelihat yang berkata-kata kepadanya dengan nama TUHAN, Allah Israel, sesungguhnya semuanya itu terdapat dalam riwayat 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 Doanya dan pengabulan doanya, segala dosa dan ketidaksetiaannya, semua tempat di mana ia telah membangun bukit-bukit pengorbanan serta mendirikan tiang-tiang berhala dan patung-patung sebelum ia merendahkan diri, sesungguhnya semuanya itu tertulis dalam riwayat para pelihat.
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 Kemudian Manasye mendapat perhentian bersama-sama dengan nenek moyangnya, dan ia dikuburkan di dalam istananya. Maka Amon, anaknya, 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 dua puluh dua tahun pada waktu ia menjadi raja dan dua tahun lamanya ia memerintah di Yerusalem.
Amen was two and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem.
22 Ia melakukan apa yang jahat di mata TUHAN seperti yang telah dilakukan Manasye, ayahnya. Amon mempersembahkan korban kepada segala patung yang dibuat Manasye, ayahnya, dan beribadah kepada patung-patung 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 ia tidak merendahkan diri di hadapan TUHAN seperti Manasye, ayahnya, merendahkan diri, malah Amon makin banyak kesalahannya.
And he did not humble himself before the Lord, as Manasses his father had humbled himself, but committed far greater sins.
24 Maka pegawai-pegawainya mengadakan persepakatan melawan dia, dan membunuhnya di istananya.
And his servants conspired against him, and slew him in his own house.
25 Tetapi rakyat negeri itu membunuh semua orang yang mengadakan persepakatan melawan raja Amon; dan rakyat negeri itu mengangkat Yosia, anaknya, menjadi raja menggantikan dia.
But the rest of the multitude of the people slew them that had killed Amen, and made Josias his son king in his stead.
