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 when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for fifty-five years. His mother's name 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.
He did what was evil in the Lord's sight by following the disgusting pagan practices of the nations that the Lord had driven out before the Israelites.
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,
He rebuilt the high places his father Hezekiah had destroyed, and he erected altars for Baal. He made an Asherah idol pole, just as Ahab, king of Israel, had done, and he worshiped and served the sun, moon, and stars.
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.
He set up pagan altars in the Lord's Temple, right where the Lord had said, “I will place my name in Jerusalem forever.”
5 Fa nanao alitara teo anatin’ ny kianja roa tamin’ ny tranon’ i Jehovah ho an’ izay rehetra eny amin’ ny lanitra izy.
He set up altars to worship the sun, moon, and stars in the two courtyards of the Lord's Temple.
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.
He even he sacrificed his own son as a burnt offering, and used fortune-telling and witchcraft, and he dealt with mediums and with spiritists. He did a great deal of evil in the Lord's sight, making the Lord angry.
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.
He took the Asherah idol pole he had made and placed in the Temple. This was the place referred to by the Lord when he told David and Solomon, his son, “In this Temple and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen from 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.
I will never again make the Israelites wander from the land I gave their forefathers if they are careful to follow everything I have ordered them to do—the whole law that my servant Moses gave 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.
The people refused to listen and Manasseh led them to sin so that the evil they did was even worse than the nations the Lord had destroyed before the Israelites.
10 Ary Jehovah nampilaza ny mpaminany mpanompony hoe:
The Lord said through his servants the prophets:
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, king of Judah, has committed all these disgusting sins, doing even more evil things than the Amorites who lived before him, and by his encouragement of idol worship has made Judah sin,
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.
this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: Watch out! I am going to bring down upon Jerusalem and Judah such a disaster that it will cause ringing in the ears of everyone who hears it.
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.
I will extend over Jerusalem the measuring line used against Samaria and the plumb line used against the house of Ahab, and I will wipe away Jerusalem as people wipe clean a bowl, wiping it and turning it upside down.
14 Ary hafoiko ny lovako sisa ka hatolotro ho eo an-tànan’ ny fahavalony; dia ho sambotra sy ho babon’ ny fahavalony rehetra izy,
I will give up on the remnant of my special people and hand them over to their enemies. They will be plunder and loot to all their enemies,
15 satria efa nanao izay ratsy eo imasoko izy ka nampahatezitra Ahy hatramin’ ny andro nivoahan’ ny razany avy any Egypta ka mandraka androany.
because they have done what is evil in my sight, and have made me angry from the day their fathers left Egypt until today.”
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.
On top of that, Manasseh murdered so many innocent people that Jerusalem was filled from one side to the other with their blood. This was in addition to the sin that he had made Judah commit, doing evil in the Lord's sight.
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?
The rest of what happened in Manasseh's reign, all he did, as well as the sins he committed, are recorded in the Book of Chronicles 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.
Manasseh died, and was buried in his palace garden, the garden of Uzza. His son Amon succeeded him as king.
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 when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for two years. His mother's name was Meshullemeth, daughter of Haruz. She came from Jotbah.
20 Ary nanao izay ratsy eo imason’ i Jehovah koa izy tahaka ny nataon’ i Manase rainy.
He did what was evil in the Lord's sight, 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.
He followed all the ways of his father, and he served the idols his father had served, bowing down in worship to them.
22 Ary nahafoy an’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny razany, izy, fa tsy nandeha tamin’ ny lalan’ i Jehovah.
He rejected the Lord, the God of his forefathers, and did not follow the way of the Lord.
23 Ary ny mpanompon’ i Amona mpanjaka nikomy taminy ka namono azy tao an-tranony.
Amon's officials plotted against him and murdered him in his royal palace.
24 Ary ny vahoaka namono izay rehetra nikomy tamin’ i Amona mpanjaka, dia nampanjaka an’ i Josia zanany hisolo azy.
But then the people of the land killed everyone who had plotted against King Amon, and they chose his son Josiah king to succeed him.
25 Ary ny tantaran’ i Amona sisa, tsy efa voasoratra ao amin’ ny bokin’ ny tantaran’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Joda va izany?
The rest of what happened in Amon's reign, and all he did, are recorded in the Book of Chronicles 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.
He was buried in his tomb in the garden of Uzza, and his son Josiah succeeded him as king.
