2 Mpanjaka 21
1 Roa ambin’ ny folo taona Manase, fony izy vao nanjaka, ary dimy amby dimam-polo taona no nanjakany tany Jerosalema. Ary ny anaran-dreniny dia Hefziba.
Manasseh was twelve years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for fifty-five years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Hephzibah.
2 Ary nanao izay ratsy eo imason’ i Jehovah izy tahaka ny fahavetavetan’ ny firenena izay noroahin’ i Jehovah tsy ho eo anoloan’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely.
And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, in accord with the idols of the nations that the Lord destroyed before the face of the sons of Israel.
3 Fa namboariny indray ny fitoerana avo, izay noravan’ i Hezekia rainy, ka nanangana alitara ho an’ i Bala izy sady nanao Aseraha, tahaka izay nataon’ i Ahaba, mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely; ary niankohoka teo anatrehan’ izay rehetra eny amin’ ny lanitra izy ka nanompo ireny,
And he turned away. And he built up the high places that his father, Hezekiah, had destroyed. And he erected altars to Baal, and he made sacred groves, just as Ahab, the king of Israel, had done. And he adored the entire army of heaven, and he served them.
4 sady nanao alitara tao an-tranon’ i Jehovah koa izy, dia tao amin’ izay nolazain’ i Jehovah hoe: Ao Jerosalema no hasiako ny anarako.
And he constructed altars in the house of the Lord, about which the Lord said: “In Jerusalem, I will place my name.”
5 Fa nanao alitara teo anatin’ ny kianja roa tamin’ ny tranon’ i Jehovah ho an’ izay rehetra eny amin’ ny lanitra izy.
And he constructed altars, for the entire army of heaven, within the two courts of the temple of the Lord.
6 Ary ny zanany nampamakiny ny afo, sady nanandro sy nanao sikidy izy ary naka ny manao azy ho tsindrian-javatra sy ny mpanao hatsarana, ary nahery nanao izay ratsy eo imason’ i Jehovah izy ka nampahatezitra Azy.
And he led his son through fire. And he used divinations, and observed omens, and appointed soothsayers, and multiplied diviners, so that he did evil before the Lord, and provoked him.
7 Ary ny sarin’ i Astarta izay nataony dia napetrany tao amin’ ny trano nolazain’ i Jehovah tamin’ i Davida sy Solomona zanany hoe: Ato amin’ ity trano ity sy eto Jerosalema, izay nofidiko tamin’ ny firenen’ Isiraely rehetra, no hasiako ny anarako mandrakizay.
Also, he set up an idol, of the sacred grove that he had made, in the temple of the Lord, about which the Lord said to David, and to his son Solomon: “In this temple, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, I will place my name forever.
8 Ary tsy hampandeha ny tongotry ny Isiraely intsony hiala amin’ ny tany izay nomeko ny razany Aho, raha mba hitandrina ka hanao araka izay rehetra nandidiako azy sy araka ny lalàna rehetra izay nandidian’ i Mosesy mpanompoko azy ihany izy.
And I will no longer cause the feet of Israel to be moved from the land that I gave to their fathers: if only they will take care to do all that I have instructed them, and the entire law that my servant Moses commanded to them.”
9 Nefa tsy nihaino izy; fa Manase nitaona azy hanao ratsy mihoatra noho ny nataon’ ny jentilisa, izay naringan’ i Jehovah tsy ho eo anoloan’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely.
Yet truly, they did not listen. Instead, they were seduced by Manasseh, so that they did evil, more so than the nations that the Lord crushed before the face of the sons of Israel.
10 Ary Jehovah nampilaza ny mpaminany mpanompony hoe:
And so the Lord spoke, by the hand of his servants, the prophets, saying:
11 Satria Manase, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, nanao izao fahavetavetana izao ka nanao ratsy mihoatra noho izay rehetra nataon’ ny Amorita izay teo alohany sady nampanota ny Joda tamin’ ny sampiny,
“Since Manasseh, the king of Judah, has committed these wicked abominations, beyond all that the Amorites before him have done, and also has caused Judah to sin by his defilements,
12 dia izao kosa no lazain’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely: Indro, hahatonga loza amin’ i Jerosalema sy ny Joda Aho, ka izay rehetra mandre izany dia hangintsingintsina ny sofiny roa.
because of this, thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Behold, I will lead evils over Jerusalem and over Judah, such that, whoever will hear of these things, both his ears will ring.
13 Ary hohenjaniko ato Jerosalema ny famolainan’ i Samaria sy ny pilaon’ ny taranak’ i Ahaba; ary hamaoka an’ i Jerosalema Aho, toy ny olona mamaoka lovia ka sady mamaoka no manohoka azy koa.
And I will extend the measuring line of Samaria over Jerusalem, with the scale of the house of Ahab. And I will erase Jerusalem, just as writing tablets are usually erased. And after erasing, I will turn it and repeatedly drag a stylus over its surface.
14 Ary hafoiko ny lovako sisa ka hatolotro ho eo an-tànan’ ny fahavalony; dia ho sambotra sy ho babon’ ny fahavalony rehetra izy,
And truly, I will send away the remnants of my inheritance, and I will deliver them into the hands of their enemies. And they will be devastated and plundered by all their adversaries.
15 satria efa nanao izay ratsy eo imasoko izy ka nampahatezitra Ahy hatramin’ ny andro nivoahan’ ny razany avy any Egypta ka mandraka androany.
For they have done evil before me, and they have persevered in provoking me, from the day when their fathers departed from Egypt, even to this day.
16 Ary na dia ny rà marina aza dia nalatsak’ i Manase be dia be mandra-pamenony an’ i Jerosalema rehetra, ho fanampin’ ny ota izay nampanotany ny Joda tamin’ ny nanaovany izay ratsy eo imason’ i Jehovah.
Moreover, Manasseh also has shed an exceedingly great amount of innocent blood, until he filled Jerusalem even to the mouth, aside from his sins by which he caused Judah to sin, so that they did evil before the Lord.”
17 Ary ny tantaran’ i Manase sisa mbamin’ izay rehetra nataony sy ny fahotana izay nataony, tsy efa voasoratra ao amin’ ny bokin’ ny tantaran’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Joda va izany?
Now the rest of the words of Manasseh, and all that he did, and his sin that he sinned, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah?
18 Ary Manase lasa nodi-mandry any amin’ ny razany, dia nalevina teo an-tanimboly eo ala-tranony amin’ ny sahan’ i Oza; ary Amona zanany no nanjaka nandimby azy.
And Manasseh slept with his fathers, and he was buried in the garden of his own house, in the garden of Uzza. And Amon, his son, reigned in his place.
19 Roa amby roa-polo taona Amona, fony izy vao nanjaka, ary roa taona no nanjakany tany Jerosalema, Ary ny anaran-dreniny dia Mesolemeta, zanakavavin’ i Haroza, avy any Jotba.
Amon was twenty-two years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for two years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Meshullemeth, the daughter of Haruz, from Jotbah.
20 Ary nanao izay ratsy eo imason’ i Jehovah koa izy tahaka ny nataon’ i Manase rainy.
And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, just as his father, Manasseh, had done.
21 Fa nandeha tamin’ ny lalana rehetra izay efa nalehan-drainy izy ka nanompo ny sampy izay notompoin-drainy sady niankohoka teo anatrehany.
And he walked in all the ways in which his father had walked. And he served the unclean things that his father had served, and he adored them.
22 Ary nahafoy an’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny razany, izy, fa tsy nandeha tamin’ ny lalan’ i Jehovah.
And he abandoned the Lord, the God of his fathers, and he did not walk in the way of the Lord.
23 Ary ny mpanompon’ i Amona mpanjaka nikomy taminy ka namono azy tao an-tranony.
And his servants undertook treachery against him. And they killed the king in his own house.
24 Ary ny vahoaka namono izay rehetra nikomy tamin’ i Amona mpanjaka, dia nampanjaka an’ i Josia zanany hisolo azy.
But the people of the land slew all those who had conspired against king Amon. And they appointed for themselves Josiah, his son, as king in his place.
25 Ary ny tantaran’ i Amona sisa, tsy efa voasoratra ao amin’ ny bokin’ ny tantaran’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Joda va izany?
But the rest of the words of Amon, which he did, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah?
26 Ary nalevina tao amin’ ny fasany tao amin’ ny sahan’ i Oza izy; ary Josia zanany no nanjaka nandimby azy.
And they buried him in his sepulcher, in the garden of Uzza. And his son, Josiah, reigned in his place.
