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 years old when he began to reign; he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem.
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 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 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
For he rebuilt the high places that his father Hezekiah had torn down, and he built altars for the Baals, he made Asherah poles, and he bowed down to all the stars of heaven and worshiped 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.
Manasseh built altars in the house of Yahweh, although Yahweh had commanded, “It is in Jerusalem that my name will be 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 altars for all the stars of heaven in the two courtyards of the house of Yahweh.
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.
In the Valley of Ben Hinnom he caused his sons to pass through the fire. He practiced sorcery, divination and he read omens, and he consulted with those who talked with the dead and with those who talked with spirits. Manasseh did much evil in the sight of Yahweh, and he provoked him to anger.
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;
The carved figure he had made, he placed it in the house of God. It was about this house that God 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 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.
I will not move the people of Israel any more out of the land that I assigned to their ancestors, if they will only be careful to keep all that I have commanded them, following all the law, statutes, and decrees which I gave them through Moses.”
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.
Manasseh led Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to do evil even more than the nations that Yahweh had destroyed before the people of Israel.
10 Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Manase sy ny vahoakany, nefa tsy nety nihaino izy.
Yahweh spoke to Manasseh, and to his people, but they paid no attention.
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 Yahweh brought on them the commanders of the army of the king of Assyria, who took Manasseh in chains, bound him with fetters, and took him off to Babylon.
12 Ary nony azom-pahoriana mafy izy, vao nifona tamin’ i Jehovah Andriamaniny sady nanetry tena indrindra teo anatrehan’ Andriamanitry ny razany
When Manasseh was in distress, he implored Yahweh, his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his ancestors.
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 to him; and God was begged by him, and God heard his begging and brought him back to Jerusalem, into his kingship. Then Manasseh knew that Yahweh was 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 built an outer wall to the city of David, on the west side of Gihon, in the valley, to the entrance at the Fish Gate. He surrounded the hill of Ophel with it and raised the wall up to a very great height. He put courageous commanders in all the fortified cities 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 took away the foreign gods, the idol out of the house of Yahweh, and all the altars that he had built on the mount of the house of Yahweh and in Jerusalem, and threw them out of 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.
He rebuilt the altar of Yahweh and offered on it sacrifices of fellowship offerings and thank offerings; he commanded Judah to serve Yahweh, 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.
However, the people still sacrificed at the high places, but only to Yahweh, 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.
As to the other matters concerning Manasseh, his prayer to his God, and the words of the seers who spoke to him in the name of Yahweh, the God of Israel, behold, they are written among the deeds 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.
In that account there is history of his prayer, and how God was moved by it. There is also an account of all his sin and his trespasses, and the places where he had built high places and set up the Asherah poles and the carved figures, before he humbled himself—they are written about in the Chronicles 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.
So Manasseh slept with his ancestors, and they buried him in his own house. Amon, his son, became king in his place.
21 Roa amby roa-polo taona Amona, fony izy vao nanjaka, ary roa taona no nanjakany tany Jerosalema.
Amon was twenty-two years old when he began to reign; he reigned two years in Jerusalem.
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 what was evil in the sight of Yahweh, as Manasseh, his father, had done. Amon sacrificed to all the carved figures that Manasseh his father had made, and he worshiped them.
23 ary tsy nanetry tena teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah tahaka ny nataon’ i Manase rainy izy, fa mainka nanota bebe kokoa aza.
He did not humble himself before Yahweh, as Manasseh his father had done. Instead, this same Amon trespassed more and more.
24 Dia nikomy taminy ny mpanompony ka namono azy tao an-tranony.
His servants conspired against him and put him to death in his own house.
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 all those who had conspired against King Amon, and they made Josiah, his son, king in his place.
