2 Raja-raja 21

1 Manasye berumur dua belas tahun pada waktu ia menjadi raja dan lima puluh lima tahun lamanya ia memerintah di Yerusalem. Nama ibunya ialah Hefzibah.

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

2 Ia melakukan apa yang jahat di mata TUHAN, sesuai dengan perbuatan keji bangsa-bangsa yang telah dihalau TUHAN dari depan orang Israel.

He did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh, like the disgusting things of the nations whom Yahweh had driven out before the people of Israel.

3 Ia mendirikan kembali bukit-bukit pengorbanan yang telah dimusnahkan oleh Hizkia, ayahnya; ia membangun mezbah-mezbah untuk Baal, membuat patung Asyera seperti yang dilakukan Ahab, raja Israel, dan sujud menyembah kepada segenap tentara langit dan beribadah kepadanya.

For he rebuilt the high places that Hezekiah his father had destroyed, and he built altars for Baal, made an Asherah pole, as Ahab king of Israel had done, and he bowed down to all the stars of heaven and worshiped them.

4 Ia mendirikan mezbah-mezbah di rumah TUHAN, walaupun sehubungan dengan rumah itu TUHAN telah berfirman: "Di Yerusalem Aku akan menaruh nama-Ku!"

Manasseh built altars in the house of Yahweh, although Yahweh had commanded, “It is in Jerusalem that my name will be forever.”

5 Dan ia mendirikan juga mezbah-mezbah bagi segenap tentara langit di kedua pelataran rumah TUHAN.

He built altars for all the stars of heaven in the two courtyards of the house of Yahweh.

6 Bahkan, ia mempersembahkan anaknya sebagai korban dalam api, melakukan ramal dan telaah, dan menghubungi para pemanggil arwah dan para pemanggil roh peramal. Ia melakukan banyak yang jahat di mata TUHAN, sehingga ia menimbulkan sakit hati-Nya.

He caused his son to pass through the fire, he performed sorcery and divination and consulted with those who talked with the dead and with those who talked with spirits. He did much evil in the sight of Yahweh, provoking him to anger.

7 Ia menaruh juga patung Asyera yang telah dibuatnya dalam rumah, walaupun sehubungan dengan rumah itu TUHAN 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!

The carved figure of Asherah that he had made, he placed it in the house of Yahweh. It was about this house that Yahweh had spoken to David and Solomon his son; he had said: “It is in this house and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen from all the tribes of Israel, that I will put my name forever.

8 Aku tidak akan membiarkan bangsa Israel lagi dibawa keluar dari tanah yang telah Kuberikan kepada nenek moyang mereka, asal saja mereka tetap berbuat tepat seperti yang telah Kuperintahkan kepada mereka dan tepat menurut hukum yang telah diperintahkan kepada mereka oleh hamba-Ku Musa."

I will not cause the feet of Israel to wander any more out of the land that I gave to their ancestors, if they will only be careful to obey all that I have commanded them, and to follow all the law that my servant Moses commanded them.”

9 Tetapi mereka tidak mau mendengarkan, dan Manasye menyesatkan mereka, sehingga mereka melakukan yang jahat lebih dari pada bangsa-bangsa yang telah dipunahkan TUHAN dari hadapan orang Israel.

But the people did not listen, and Manasseh led them to do evil even more than the nations that Yahweh had destroyed before the people of Israel.

10 Kemudian berfirmanlah TUHAN dengan perantaraan para hamba-Nya, yakni para nabi:

So Yahweh spoke by his servants the prophets, saying,

11 "Oleh karena Manasye, raja Yehuda, telah melakukan kekejian-kekejian ini, berbuat jahat lebih dari pada segala yang telah dilakukan oleh orang Amori yang mendahului dia, dan dengan berhala-berhalanya ia telah mengakibatkan orang Yehuda berdosa pula,

“Because Manasseh king of Judah has done these disgusting things, and has acted wickedly more than all that the Amorites who were before him did, and has also made Judah sin with his idols,

12 sebab itu beginilah firman TUHAN, Allah Israel: Sesungguhnya Aku akan mendatangkan malapetaka atas Yerusalem dan Yehuda, sehingga setiap orang yang mendengarnya akan bising kedua telinganya.

therefore Yahweh, the God of Israel, says this: Look, I am about to bring such evil on Jerusalem and Judah that whoever hears of it, both his ears will tingle.

13 Dan Aku akan merentangkan atas Yerusalem tali pengukur sama seperti atas Samaria dan tali unting-unting sama seperti atas keluarga Ahab; dan Aku akan menghapuskan Yerusalem seperti orang menghapus pinggan, yakni habis dihapus, dibalikkan pula menungging.

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

14 Aku akan membuangkan sisa milik pusaka-Ku dan akan menyerahkan mereka ke dalam tangan musuh-musuh mereka, sehingga mereka menjadi jarahan dan menjadi rampasan bagi semua musuh mereka,

I will throw off the remnant of my inheritance and give them into the hand of their enemies. They will become victims and plunder for all their enemies,

15 oleh karena mereka telah melakukan apa yang jahat di mata-Ku dan dengan demikian mereka menimbulkan sakit hati-Ku, mulai dari hari nenek moyang mereka keluar dari Mesir sampai hari ini."

because they have done what is evil in my sight, and have provoked me to anger, since the day their ancestors came out of Egypt, to this day.”

16 Lagipula Manasye mencurahkan darah orang yang tidak bersalah sedemikian banyak, hingga dipenuhinya Yerusalem dari ujung ke ujung, belum termasuk dosa-dosanya yang mengakibatkan orang Yehuda berdosa pula dengan berbuat apa yang jahat di mata TUHAN.

Moreover, Manasseh shed much innocent blood, until he had filled Jerusalem from one end to another with death. This was in addition to the sin by which he made Judah to sin, when they did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh.

17 Selebihnya dari riwayat Manasye, segala yang dilakukannya dan dosa-dosa yang diperbuatnya, bukankah semuanya itu tertulis dalam kitab sejarah raja-raja Yehuda?

As for the other matters concerning Manasseh, all that he did, and the sin that he committed, are they not written in the book of the events of the kings of Judah?

18 Kemudian Manasye mendapat perhentian bersama-sama dengan nenek moyangnya, dan ia dikuburkan di taman istananya, di taman Uza. Maka Amon, anaknya, menjadi raja menggantikan dia.

Manasseh slept with his ancestors and was buried in the garden of his own house, in the garden of Uzza. Amon his son became king in his place.

19 Amon berumur dua puluh dua tahun pada waktu ia menjadi raja dan dua tahun lamanya ia memerintah di Yerusalem. Nama ibunya ialah Mesulemet binti Harus, dari Yotba.

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

20 Ia melakukan apa yang jahat di mata TUHAN seperti yang telah dilakukan Manasye, ayahnya.

He did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh, as Manasseh his father had done.

21 Ia hidup sama seperti ayahnya dahulu sambil beribadah kepada berhala-berhala yang disembah oleh ayahnya dan sujud menyembah kepada mereka.

Amon followed in all the way that his father had walked in and worshiped the idols that his father worshiped, and bowed down to them.

22 Ia meninggalkan TUHAN, Allah nenek moyangnya dan tidak hidup menurut kehendak TUHAN.

He abandoned Yahweh, the God of his fathers, and did not walk in the way of Yahweh.

23 Dan pegawai-pegawai Amon mengadakan persepakatan melawan dia dan membunuh raja di istananya.

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

24 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 people of the land killed all those who had conspired against King Amon, and they made Josiah his son king in his place.

25 Selebihnya dari riwayat Amon, apa yang dilakukannya, bukankah semuanya itu tertulis dalam kitab sejarah raja-raja Yehuda?

As for the other matters concerning Amon that he did, are they not written in the book of the events of the kings of Judah?

26 Kemudian ia dikuburkan dalam kuburnya di taman Uza. Maka Yosia, anaknya, menjadi raja menggantikan dia.

The people buried him in his tomb in the garden of Uzza, and Josiah his son became king in his place.
