Otra Laiku 33
1 Manasus bija divpadsmit gadus vecs, kad palika par ķēniņu, un valdīja piecdesmit pieci gadus Jeruzālemē,
Manasseh was 12 years old when he became the king [of Judah], and he ruled from Jerusalem for 55 years.
2 Un darīja, kas Tam Kungam nepatika, pēc to tautu negantībām, ko Tas Kungs Israēla bērnu priekšā bija izdzinis.
He did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil. He imitated the disgusting things that were formerly done by the people-groups that Yahweh had expelled from Israel as his people advanced [though the land].
3 Jo tas uztaisīja atkal kalnu altārus, ko viņa tēvs Hizkija bija nolauzījis, un uztaisīja altārus Baāliem un taisīja Ašeras un metās zemē priekš visa debess spēka un tiem kalpoja.
He commanded his workers to rebuild the shrines [for worshiping idols] that his father Hezekiah had destroyed. He told them to set up altars to [honor] the statues of Baal, and to make altars to [honor the goddess] Asherah. He bowed down to [worship] all the stars.
4 Viņš taisīja altārus arī Tā Kunga namā, par ko Tas Kungs bija sacījis: Jeruzālemē lai ir mans vārds mūžīgi.
He directed his workers to build altars [for foreign gods] in the temple, about which Yahweh had said, “It is here in Jerusalem that I want people to worship me, forever.”
5 Un visam debess spēkam viņš cēla altārus Tā Kunga nama abējos pagalmos.
He directed that altars for [worshiping] all the stars be built in both of the courtyards outside the temple.
6 Un viņš lika saviem dēliem caur uguni iet Ben-Inoma ielejā un zīlēja un vārdoja un būra un turēja zīlniekus un pūšļotājus; viņš darīja ļoti daudz, kas Tam Kungam nepatika, viņu kaitinādams.
He even sacrificed [some of] his own sons and burned them in a fire in Hinnom Valley. He performed rituals to practice sorcery. He asked fortune-tellers for advice. He performed witchcraft. He talked to people who consulted the spirits of people who had died to find out what would happen in the future. He did many things that Yahweh considered o be very evil, things that caused Yahweh to become very angry.
7 Arī elka tēlu, ko bija taisījis, viņš uzcēla Dieva namā, par ko Dievs uz Dāvidu un viņa dēlu Salamanu bija sacījis: šinī namā un Jeruzālemē, ko Es esmu izredzējis no visām Israēla ciltīm, Es Savu vārdu iecelšu mūžīgi.
Manasseh took a carved idol [that his workers had made] and put it in the temple. That is the temple concerning which God had said to David and to his son Solomon, “My temple will be here in Jerusalem, the city that I have chosen [where I want people to] worship me, forever.
8 Un Israēla kājai Es vairs nelikšu kustēt no tās zemes, ko Es jūsu tēviem esmu nolicis, ja tie visu turēs un darīs, ko Es tiem esmu pavēlējis, pēc visas bauslības un likumiem un tiesām caur Mozu.
If they will obey all the laws and decrees and regulations that I told Moses to give to them, I will not again force the Israeli people to leave this land that I gave to their ancestors.”
9 Tā Manasus Jūdu un Jeruzālemes iedzīvotājus vedināja uz ļaunu, ka tie niknāki darīja, nekā tie pagāni, ko Tas Kungs Israēla bērnu priekšā bija izdeldējis.
But Manasseh led the people of Jerusalem and other places in Judah to do things that are wrong, with the result that they did more evil than was done by the people in the people-groups that Yahweh had expelled as the Israeli people advanced [through the land].
10 Un Tas Kungs gan runāja uz Manasu un uz viņa ļaudīm, bet tie neņēma vērā.
Yahweh spoke to Manasseh and the people of Judah, but they paid no attention.
11 Tāpēc Tas Kungs tiem sūtīja Asīrijas ķēniņa kara virsniekus; tie gūstīja Manasu saitēm un to apcietināja ar divām vara ķēdēm un to noveda uz Bābeli.
So Yahweh caused the army commanders of Assyria [and their soldiers] to [come to Jerusalem, and they] captured Manasseh. They put a hook in his nose and put bronze chains on his [feet] and took him to Babylon.
12 Kad tas nu tā bija spaidos, tad tas pielūdza To Kungu, savu Dievu, un pazemojās ļoti priekš savu tēvu Dieva
There, while he was suffering, he humbled himself greatly in the presence of Yahweh, the God whom his ancestors [worshiped], and pleaded with Yahweh to help him.
13 Un lūdza Viņu. Un Viņš no tā ļāvās pielūgties un paklausīja viņa sirsnīgo lūgšanu un pārveda to atkal uz Jeruzālemi viņa valstībā. Tad Manasus atzina, ka Tas Kungs ir Dievs.
When he prayed, Yahweh heard him and pitied him. So he [allowed him to] return to Jerusalem and [to] rule his kingdom again. Then Manasseh realized that Yahweh is [an all-powerful] God.
14 Un pēc tam viņš uztaisīja Dāvida pilsētas āra mūri uz Ģiona pusi pret vakariem ielejā līdz tai vietai, kur ieiet pa Zivju vārtiem, un apkārt Ofelam, un to taisīja ļoti augstu, un ielika arīdzan kara virsniekus visās stiprās Jūda pilsētās.
Later, Manasseh’s [workers] rebuilt the eastern section of the outer wall around Jerusalem, and [they] made it higher. That section extended from Gihon Spring [north] to the Fish Gate, and around the part of the city that they called Ophel [Hill]. Manasseh also appointed army officers to guard each of the cities in Judah that had walls around them.
15 Un viņš nopostīja tos svešos dievus un to elku no Tā Kunga nama, ar visiem altāriem, ko viņš bija uztaisījis Tā Kunga nama kalnā un Jeruzālemē un izmeta tos ārā no pilsētas.
Manasseh’s [workers] removed from the temple the idols and the stone statues of gods of other nations. Manasseh also [told them to] remove the altars that they had previously built on Zion Hill and in [other places in] Jerusalem. He had all those things thrown out of the city.
16 Un viņš uzkopa Tā Kunga altāri un upurēja uz tā pateicības upurus un slavas upurus, un pavēlēja Jūda ļaudīm, kalpot Tam Kungam, Israēla Dievam.
Then he [told them to] repair the altar of Yahweh, and he offered sacrifices to restore fellowship with Yahweh and to thank him. And he told [the people of] Judah that they must worship [only] Yahweh.
17 Taču tie ļaudis vēl upurēja kalnos, bet Tam Kungam savam Dievam.
The people continued to offer sacrifices on the hilltops, but only to Yahweh their God.
18 Un kas vēl par Manasu stāstāms, un viņa lūgšana uz savu Dievu un to redzētāju vārdi, kas uz viņu runājuši Tā Kunga, Israēla Dieva, vārdā, redzi, tas ir Israēla ķēniņu stāstos.
The other things that happened while Manasseh was ruling, including his prayer to God and the messages from Yahweh that the prophets gave to him, are written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
19 Un viņa lūgšana un kā Dievs viņu paklausījis, arī visi viņa grēki un viņa pārkāpumi, un tās vietas, kur viņš uztaisījis elku altārus un uzcēlis Ašeras un elku tēlus, pirms tapa pazemots, tas rakstīts Kazaja stāstos.
What Manasseh prayed and how God pitied him because he pleaded to God, and also his sins and ways in which he disobeyed God, and the [list of] places where he built shrines and set up poles to [honor the goddess] Asherah and other idols [before he humbled himself], are written in what the prophets wrote.
20 Un Manasus aizmiga pie saviem tēviem, un to apraka viņa namā, un viņa dēls Amons palika par ķēniņu viņa vietā.
Manasseh died and was buried in his palace. Then his son Amon became the king [of Judah].
21 Amons bija divdesmit divus gadus vecs, kad palika par ķēniņu, un valdīja divus gadus Jeruzālemē.
Amon was 22 years old when he became king, and he ruled in Jerusalem for two years.
22 Un viņš darīja, kas Tam Kungam nepatika, tā kā viņa tēvs Manasus bija darījis, un Amons upurēja visiem elku tēliem, ko viņa tēvs Manasus bija taisījis, un tiem kalpoja.
He did things that Yahweh considered to be evil, like his father Manasseh had done. Amon worshiped all the idols that Manasseh’s [workers] had made.
23 Bet viņš nepazemojās Tā Kunga priekšā, tā kā viņa tēvs Manasus bija pazemojies; bet šis Amons vairoja noziegumu.
But he did not humble himself and turn to Yahweh like his father did. So he became more sinful than his father had been.
24 Un viņa kalpi sacēlās pret viņu un to nokāva viņa namā.
Then Amon’s officials made plans to kill him. They assassinated him in his palace.
25 Un tie zemes ļaudis nokāva visus, kas bija sacēlušies pret ķēniņu Amonu, un tie zemes ļaudis cēla Josiju, viņa dēlu, par ķēniņu viņa vietā.
But then the people of Judah killed all those who had assassinated Amon, and they appointed his son Josiah to be their king.
