2 Tantara 33
1 Roa ambin’ ny folo taona Manase, fony izy vao nanjaka, ary dimy amby dimam-polo taona no nanjakany tany Jerosalema.
Manasseh was twelve when he became king, and he reigned in for Jerusalem fifty-five years.
2 Ary nanao izay ratsy eo mason’ i Jehovah izy tahaka ny fahavetavetan’ ny firenena izay noroahin’ i Jehovah tsy ho eo anoloan’ ny Zanak’ isiraely.
He did evil in the Lord's sight by following the disgusting religious practices of the nations that the Lord had driven out before the Israelites.
3 Fa namboariny indray ny fitoerana avo, izay efa noravan’ i Hezekia rainy, ka nanangana alitara ho an’ ireo Bala izy sady nanao Aseraha sy niankohota teo anatrehan’ izay rehetra eny amin’ ny lanitra ka nanompo azy
He rebuilt the high places that his father Hezekiah had destroyed, and he made altars for the Baals and set up Asherah poles. He worshiped the sun, moon, and stars and served them.
4 sady nanorina alitara tao an-tranon’ i Jehovah, dia tao amin’ ilay nolazain’ i Jehovah hoe: Any Jerosalema no hitoeran’ ny anarako mandrakizay.
He built altars in the Lord's Temple, about which the Lord had said, “I shall be honored in Jerusalem forever.”
5 Fa nanao alitara teo anatin’ ny kianja roa amin’ ny tranon’ i Jehovah izy ho an’ izay rehetra eny amin’ ny lanitra.
He built these altars to worship the sun, moon, and stars in both courtyards of the Lord's Temple.
6 Ary ny zanany nampamakiny ny afo teo an-dohasahan’ ny taranak’ i Hinoma, sady nanandro sy nanao sikidy izy sy nanana ody ary naka ny manao azy ho tsindrian-javatra sy ny mpanao hatsarana, dia nahery nanao izay ratsy eo imason’ i Jehovah izy ka nampahatezitra Azy.
He sacrificed his children by burning them to death in the Valley of Ben-hinnom. He practiced sorcery, divination, and witchcraft, and visited mediums and spiritists. He did a great deal of evil in the Lord's sight, making him angry.
7 Ary izay sarin-javatra voasokitra momba ny sampy nataony dia napetrany tao an-tranon’ Andriamanitra, izay nolazain’ Andriamanitra tamin’ Davida sy Solomona zanany hoe: Eto amin’ ity trano ity sy eto Jerosalema, izay nofidiko tamin’ ny firenen’ isiraely rehetra, no hasiako ny anarako mandrakizay;
He took a pagan idol he had made and set it up in God's Temple, about which God had told David and his son Solomon, “I will be honored forever in this Temple and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen from all the tribes of Israel.
8 ary tsy hampandeha ny tongotry ny Isiraely intsony hiala amin’ ny tany izay efa notendreko ho an’ ny razanareo Aho, raha mba hitandrina koa izy hanao araka izay rehetra nandidiako azy, dia araka ny lalana rehetra sy ny didy ary ny fitsipika izay nampilazaina an’ i Mosesy.
If the Israelites are careful to follow everything I have instructed them to do—all the laws, commandments, and regulations, given through Moses—then I will not make them leave the land I granted your forefathers.”
9 Kanjo nampivily ny Joda sy ny mponina tany Jerosalema Manase mba hanao ratsy mihoatra noho ny firenena izay naringan’ i Jehovah tsy ho eo anoloan’ ny Zanak’ isiraely.
But Manasseh seduced Judah and the people of Jerusalem, leading them to commit even worse sins than the nations the Lord had destroyed before Israelites.
10 Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Manase sy ny vahoakany, nefa tsy nety nihaino izy.
The Lord warned Manasseh and his people, but they ignored him.
11 Dia nentin’ i Jehovah hamely azy ny komandin’ ny miaramilan’ ny mpanjakan’ i Asyria, dia nosamborin’ ireo Manase ka nasiany masom-by sady nogadrany gadra varahina ary nentiny ho any Babylona.
So the Lord sent the armies of Assyria with their commanders to attack them. The Assyrians captured Manasseh, put a hook through his nose, put bronze shackles on him, and took him away to Babylon.
12 Ary nony azom-pahoriana mafy izy, vao nifona tamin’ i Jehovah Andriamaniny sady nanetry tena indrindra teo anatrehan’ Andriamanitry ny razany
In his misery, asked the Lord God for help, repenting for his arrogance before the God of his forefathers.
13 ka nivavaka taminy; ary Jehovah nanaiky ka nihaino ny fifonany, dia nampody azy ho any Jerosalema ho any amin’ ny fanjakany. Ka dia fantatr’ i Manase fa Jehovah no Andriamanitra.
He prayed and prayed, and the Lord listened to his pleadings, so the Lord brought Manasseh back to Jerusalem and to his kingdom. Then Manasseh was convinced that the Lord is God.
14 Ary rehefa afaka izany, dia nanao manda teo ivelan’ ny Tanànan’ i Davida izy, dia teo andrefana hatrany Gihona, eo amin’ ny lohasahan-driaka, ka hatramin’ ny fidirana amin’ ny vavahadin-kazandrano, ary nataony manodidina an’ i Ofela sady nataony avo dia avo; ary nanendry izay ho komandin’ ny miaramila ho any amin’ ny tanàna mimanda rehetra any Joda izy.
After this, Manasseh rebuilt the outer wall of the City of David from west of Gihon in the valley to the Fish Gate, and around the hill of Ophel, and made it much higher. He also assigned army commanders to all the fortified towns of Judah.
15 Dia nesoriny ireny andriamani-kafa sy ny sampy tao an-tranon’ i Jehovah mbamin’ ny alitara rehetra izay efa naoriny teo an-tendrombohitry ny tranon’ i Jehovah sy tany Jerosalema ka nariany teny ivelan’ ny tanàna.
He disposed of the foreign gods and the idol from the Lord's Temple, together with all the altars he had built on the Temple hill and in Jerusalem, throwing all of them outside the city.
16 Ary nanorina indray ny alitaran’ i Jehovah izy ka namono zavatra hatao fanati-pihavanana sy fanati-pisaorana teo amboniny, dia nandidy ny Joda hanompo an’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely.
Then he restored the altar of the Lord, and sacrificed friendship offerings and thank offerings on it, and he instructed Judah to worship the Lord, the God of Israel.
17 Fa ny olona mbola namono zavatra hatao fanatitra teny amin’ ny fitoerana avo ihany, kanefa kosa ho an’ i Jehovah Andriamaniny ihany.
But the people still sacrificed on the high places, but only to the Lord their God.
18 Ary ny tantaran’ i Manase sisa mbamin’ ny vavaka nataony tamin’ Andriamaniny sy ny tenin’ ireo mpahita izay niteny taminy tamin’ ny anaran’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely indro, ao amin’ ny tantaran’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely izany.
The rest of what Manasseh did, along with his prayer to his God and what he was told by the seers who spoke on the Lord's behalf are recorded in the Book of the Kings of Israel.
19 Ary koa, ny vavaka nataony sy ny naneken’ Andriamanitra izany ary ny fahotany sy ny fahadisoany rehetra mbamin’ ny fitoerana izay nanorenany fitoerana avo sy nananganany Aseraha sy sarin-javatra voasokitra, fony izy tsy mbola nanetry tena, indro, efa voasoratra ao amin’ ny tenin’ i Hozay izany.
His prayer and how God answered him, as well as all his sins and unfaithfulness, and where he built high places and set up Asherah poles and idols before he admitted he was wrong, are recorded in the Records of the Seers.
20 Ary Manase lasa nodi-mandry any amin’ ny razany, dia nalevina tao an-tranony; ary Amona zanany no nanjaka nandimby azy.
Manasseh died and was buried at his palace. His son Amon took over as king.
21 Roa amby roa-polo taona Amona, fony izy vao nanjaka, ary roa taona no nanjakany tany Jerosalema.
Amon was twenty-two when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for two years.
22 Ary nanao izay ratsy eo imason’ i Jehovah tahaka ny nataon’ i Manase rainy ihany izy; fa ny sarin-javatra voasokitra rehetra nataon’ i Manase rainy dia namonoan’ i Amona zavatra hatao fanatitra ka notompoiny;
He did evil in the Lord's sight just as his father Manasseh had. Amon worshiped and sacrificed to all the idols his father Manasseh had made.
23 ary tsy nanetry tena teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah tahaka ny nataon’ i Manase rainy izy, fa mainka nanota bebe kokoa aza.
However, he did not admit his pride before the Lord as his father Manasseh had done—in fact Amon made his guilt even worse.
24 Dia nikomy taminy ny mpanompony ka namono azy tao an-tranony.
Then Amon's officials plotted against him and killed him in his palace.
25 Fa ny vahoaka kosa namono izay rehetra efa nikomy tamin’ i Amona mpanjaka, dia nampanjaka an’ i Josia zanany hisolo azy.
But the people of the land killed everyone who had plotted against King Amon, and they made his son Josiah king.
