2 Whakapapa 33
1 Tekau ma rua nga tau o Manahi i tona kingitanga, a e rima tekau ma rima ona tau i kingi ai ia ki Hiruharama.
Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign; and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem.
2 A he kino tana mahi ki te titiro a Ihowa, i rite ki nga mea whakarihariha a nga iwi i peia nei e Ihowa i te aroaro o nga tama a Iharaira.
And he did evil in the sight of Jehovah, like the abominations of the nations that Jehovah had dispossessed from before the children of Israel.
3 I hanga ano hoki e ia nga wahi tiketike i wahia e tona papa, e Hetekia: i whakaara i nga aata ki nga Paara, i hanga Aherimi; koropiko ana ia ki te ope o te rangi, mahi ana ki a ratou.
And he built again the high places that Hezekiah his father had broken down; and he reared up altars to the Baals, and made Asherahs, and worshipped all the host of heaven and served them.
4 I hanga ano e ia etahi aata ki te whare o Ihowa, ki ta Ihowa i ki ra, Ko Hiruharama hei waihotanga mo toku ingoa ake ake.
And he built altars in the house of Jehovah, of which Jehovah had said, In Jerusalem shall my name be for ever.
5 I hanga ano e ia etahi aata ma te ope katoa o te rangi ki nga marae e rua o te whare o Ihowa.
And he built altars to all the host of heaven in both courts of the house of Jehovah.
6 Meatia ana e ia ana tamariki kia tika na waenganui i te ahi i te aroaro o te tama a Hinomi, rapua ana e ia he tohu i nga kapua, i nga nakahi; kei te makutu ano ia, kei te whai ki nga atua maori, ki nga mata maori: nui atu tana kino i mahi ai ki t e titiro a Ihowa, hei whakapataritari mona.
He also caused his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom; and he used magic and divination and sorcery, and appointed necromancers and soothsayers: he wrought evil beyond measure in the sight of Jehovah, to provoke him to anger.
7 I whakaturia ano e ia te whakapakoko, te ahua i hanga e ia, ki te whare o te Atua, ki ta te Atua i ki ra ki a Rawiri raua ko tana tama, ko Horomona, Hei tenei whare, hei Hiruharama i whiriwhiria nei e ahau i roto i nga iwi katoa o Iharaira, ahau waiho ai i toku ingoa a ake ake:
And he set the graven image of the idol that he had made, in the house of God, of which God had said to David and to Solomon his son, In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, will I put my name for ever;
8 A heoi aku whakanekehanga i te waewae o Iharaira i te whenua i whakaritea e ahau mo o koutou matua; kia mau raia ratou ki te mahi i nga mea katoa i whakahaua e ahau ki a ratou, kia rite ki te ture katoa, ki nga tikanga, ki nga whakaritenga i whak apuakina nei e Mohi.
neither will I any more remove the foot of Israel from out of the land that I have appointed to your fathers; if they will only take heed to do all that I commanded them through Moses, according to all the law and the statutes and the ordinances.
9 Heoi whakakotititia ana e Manahi a Hura me nga tangata o Hiruharama kia nui atu ta ratou mahi kino i ta nga iwi i huna nei e Ihowa i te aroaro o nga tama a Iharaira.
And Manasseh led Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem astray, to do more evil than the nations that Jehovah had destroyed from before the children of Israel.
10 I korero hoki a Ihowa ki a Manahi ratou ko tona iwi; heoi kihai ratou i rongo.
And Jehovah spoke to Manasseh and to his people; but they did not hearken.
11 Na reira i kawea mai ai e Ihowa ki runga ki a ratou nga rangatira o te ope o te kingi o Ahiria; a ka mau i a ratou a Manahi i te taura maitai; herea iho ki te mekameka, kawea ana ki Papurona.
And Jehovah brought upon them the captains of the host of the king of Assyria, who took Manasseh with fetters, and bound him with chains of brass, and carried him to Babylon.
12 Na i a ia i te he, ka inoi ia ki a Ihowa, ki tona Atua, ka whakaiti rawa i a ia i te aroaro o te Atua o ona matua,
And when he was in affliction, he besought Jehovah his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers,
13 Inoi ana ki a ia; a ka tahuri tera ki a ia, ka rongo ki tana inoi. Na ka whakahokia ia ki Hiruharama, ki tona kingitanga. Katahi ka mohio a Manahi ko Ihowa te Atua.
and prayed to him. And he was intreated of him and heard his supplication, and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that Jehovah, he was God.
14 I muri i tenei ka hanga e ia he taiepa i waho o te pa o Rawiri, i te taha ki te hauauru o Kihona, ki te awaawa, a tae noa ki te tomokanga i te kuwaha ika; a taiepatia ana a Opere a whawhe noa, hanga ana e ia kia tiketike rawa. I whakanohoia ano e ia etahi rangatira maia ki nga pa taiepa katoa o Hura.
And after this he built the outer wall of the city of David, on the west, toward Gihon, in the valley, even to the entrance of the fish-gate, and carried it round Ophel, and raised it up a very great height; and he put captains of war in all the fortified cities of Judah.
15 I whakakahoretia ano e ia nga atua ke, me te whakapakoko i roto i te whare o Ihowa, me nga aata katoa i hanga e ia ki te maunga o te whare o Ihowa ki Hiruharama; akiritia atu ana e ia ki waho o te pa.
And he removed the strange gods, and the idol out of the house of Jehovah, and all the altars that he had built on the mount of the house of Jehovah and in Jerusalem, and cast [them] out of the city.
16 I hanga ano e ia te aata a Ihowa; patua iho e ia ki runga he patunga mo te pai, a mo te whakawhetai, i ki atu ano ki a Hura kia mahi ki a Ihowa, ki te Atua o Iharaira.
And he reinstated the altar of Jehovah, and sacrificed on it peace-offerings and thank-offerings, and commanded Judah to serve Jehovah the God of Israel.
17 I patu whakahere ano ia te iwi i runga i nga wahi tiketike; otiia ki a Ihowa, ki to ratou Atua anake.
Nevertheless, the people sacrificed still on the high places, although to Jehovah their God only.
18 Na, ko era atu meatanga a Manahi, me tana inoi ki tona Atua, me nga korero a nga matakite i korero nei ki a ia i runga i te ingoa o Ihowa, o te Atua o Iharaira, nana, kei nga pukapuka o nga mahi a nga kingi o Iharaira.
And the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and his prayer to his God, and the words of the seers that spoke to him in the name of Jehovah the God of Israel, behold, they [are written] in the acts of the kings of Israel.
19 Na, ko tana inoi, me to te Atua tahuritanga ki a ia, me tona hara katoa, me tona he, me nga wahi i hanga ai e ia nga wahi tiketike, i whakaturia ai e ia nga Aherimi, me nga whakapakoko i te mea kiano ia i whakaiti i a ia, nana, kei te tuhituhi i roto i nga korero a Hohai.
And his prayer, and [how God] was intreated of him, and all his sin and his unfaithfulness, and the places in which he built high places, and set up Asherahs and graven images, before he was humbled, behold, they are written among the words of Hozai.
20 Heoi kua moe a Manahi ki ona matua, a tanumia iho ki tona whare, a ko tana tama, ko Amono, te kingi i muri i a ia.
And Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they buried him in his own house; and Amon his son reigned in his stead.
21 E rua tekau ma rua nga tau o Amono i tona kingitanga, a e rua nga tau i kingi ai ia ki Hiruharama.
Amon was twenty-two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned two years in Jerusalem.
22 A he kino tana mahi ki ta Ihowa titiro, i rite ki ta tona papa, ki ta Manahi i mea ai: i patu whakahere hoki a Amono ki nga whakapakoko katoa i hanga e tona papa, e Manahi, a mahi ana ki a ratou.
And he did evil in the sight of Jehovah, as Manasseh his father had done; and Amon sacrificed to all the graven images that Manasseh his father had made, and served them.
23 Kihai hoki i whakaiti i a ia ki te aroaro o Ihowa, kihai i pera me tona papa, me Manahi i whakaiti nei; heoi nui noa atu te he o taua Amono nei.
And he did not humble himself before Jehovah, as Manasseh his father had humbled himself; for he, Amon, multiplied trespass.
24 Na, kua whakatupuria he he mona e ana tangata; patua iho ia ki roto ki tona ake whare.
And his servants conspired against him, and slew him in his own house.
25 Otiia i patua e te iwi o te whenua nga tangata katoa i whakatupuria ai te he mo Kingi Amono; a ka meinga e te iwi o te whenua tana tama, a Hohia, hei kingi i muri i a ia.
But the people of the land smote all them that had conspired against king Amon; and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his stead.
