2 Krønikebok 33
1 Tolv år gamall var Manasse då han vart konge, og fem og femti år styrde han i Jerusalem.
Manasseh was twelve years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem fifty-five years.
2 Han gjorde det som vondt var i Herrens augo, etter den avstyggjelege seden hjå dei folki som Herren hadde rudt ut for Israels-borni.
And he did evil in the sight of the LORD by following the abominations of the nations that the LORD had driven out before the Israelites.
3 Han bygde upp att offerhaugarne som Hizkia, far hans, hadde rive ned, og sette upp altari for Ba’als-gudarne og gjorde Astarte-bilæte og kasta seg ned for og tente heile himmelheren.
For he rebuilt the high places that his father Hezekiah had torn down, and he raised up altars for the Baals and made Asherah poles. And he worshiped and served all the host of heaven.
4 Og han bygde altar i Herrens hus, endå Herren hadde sagt: «I Jerusalem skal namnet mitt vera æveleg.»
Manasseh also built altars in the house of the LORD, of which the LORD had said, “My Name will remain in Jerusalem forever.”
5 Og han bygde altar for heile himmelheren i båe tuni kring Herrens hus.
In both courtyards of the house of the LORD, he built altars to all the host of heaven.
6 Han vigde sønerne sine i elden i Hinnomssons-dalen og for med spådom og trolldom og runing og fekk seg tinga folk til å mana draugar og spåvette; han gjorde mykje som vondt var i Herrens augo og harma honom.
He sacrificed his sons in the fire in the Valley of Hinnom. He practiced sorcery, divination, and witchcraft, and consulted mediums and spiritists. He did great evil in the sight of the LORD, provoking Him to anger.
7 Og avgudsbilætet som han hadde gjort, sette han upp i Guds hus, som Gud hadde sagt um til David og Salomo, son hans: «Til dette huset og til Jerusalem, som eg hev valt ut millom alle Israels ætter, vil eg festa namnet mitt i all æva.
Manasseh even took the carved image he had made and set it up in the house of God, of which God had said to David and his son Solomon, “In this temple and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, I will establish My Name forever.
8 Og eg vil ikkje meir lata Israel fara burt ifrå det landet som eg etla åt federne dykkar, berre dei agtar på å halda alt det som eg hev bode deim, etter heile lovi og bodi og rettarne som dei fekk ved Moses.»
I will never again cause the feet of the Israelites to leave the land that I assigned to your fathers, if only they are careful to do all that I have commanded them through Moses—all the laws, statutes, and judgments.”
9 Men Manasse førde Juda og Jerusalems-buarne til å stella seg verre enn dei folki som Herren hadde øydt ut for Israels-borni.
So Manasseh led the people of Judah and Jerusalem astray, so that they did greater evil than the nations that the LORD had destroyed before the Israelites.
10 Då tala Herren til Manasse og folket hans, men dei agta ikkje på det.
And the LORD spoke to Manasseh and his people, but they did not listen.
11 So let Herren herførarne åt assyrarkongen koma yver deim, og dei fanga Manasse med krokar, lagde honom i koparlekkjor og førde honom til Babel.
So the LORD brought against them the military commanders of the king of Assyria, who captured Manasseh, put a hook in his nose, bound him with bronze shackles, and took him to Babylon.
12 Men då han var i naud, bad han Herren, sin Gud, um nåde, og han audmykte seg djupt for fedreguden sin.
And in his distress, Manasseh sought the favor of the LORD his God and earnestly humbled himself before the God of his fathers.
13 Og då han bad til honom, let han seg blidka og høyrde bøni hans og førde honom attende til Jerusalem til kongedømet hans. Då kom Manasse i hug at Herren er Gud.
And when he prayed to Him, the LORD received his plea and heard his petition; so He brought him back to Jerusalem and to his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the LORD is God.
14 Sidan bygde han ein ytre mur for Davidsstaden vestanfor Gihon i dalen og burt imot Fiskeporten, so han gjekk ikring Ofel; og gjorde honom svært høg. I alle borgbyarne i Juda sette han herførarar.
After this, Manasseh rebuilt the outer wall of the City of David from west of Gihon in the valley to the entrance of the Fish Gate, and he brought it around the hill of Ophel and heightened it considerably. He also stationed military commanders in all the fortified cities of Judah.
15 Han førde burt dei framande gudarne og avgudsbilætet ifrå Herrens hus og alle dei altari som han hadde bygt på det berget der Herrens hus stod og i Jerusalem, og han kasta deim utanfor byen.
He removed the foreign gods and the idol from the house of the LORD, along with all the altars he had built on the temple mount and in Jerusalem, and he dumped them outside the city.
16 Derimot reiste upp att Herrens altar, og han ofra takkoffer og lovoffer på det; og han baud Juda at dei skulde tena Herren, Israels Gud.
Then he restored the altar of the LORD and sacrificed peace offerings and thank offerings on it, and he told Judah to serve the LORD, the God of Israel.
17 Men folket heldt ved med å ofra på offerhaugarne, men einast til Herren, deira Gud.
Nevertheless, the people still sacrificed at the high places, but only to the LORD their God.
18 Det som elles er å fortelja um Manasse, um bøni hans til sin Gud og ordi åt dei sjåarane som tala til honom i namnet åt Herren, Israels Gud, det er uppskrive i krønikeboki åt Israels-kongarne.
As for the rest of the acts of Manasseh, along with his prayer to his God and the words of the seers who spoke to him in the name of the LORD, the God of Israel, they are indeed written in the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.
19 Og um bøni hans, og korleis han vart bønhøyrd, og heile syndi og utruskapen hans og dei staderne der han bygde upp offerhaugar og sette upp Astarte-stolparne og avgudsbilæti fyrr han audmykte seg, det er uppskrive i krønikeboki åt Hozai.
His prayer and how God received his plea, as well as all his sin and unfaithfulness, and the sites where he built high places and set up Asherah poles and idols before he humbled himself, they are indeed written in the Records of the Seers.
20 Og Manasse lagde seg til kvile hjå federne sine, og dei gravlagde honom ved huset hans, og Amon, son hans, vart konge i staden hans.
And Manasseh rested with his fathers and was buried at his palace. And his son Amon reigned in his place.
21 Tvo og tjuge år gamall var Amon då han vart konge, og tvo år styrde han i Jerusalem.
Amon was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem two years.
22 Han gjorde det som vondt var i Herrens augo, liksom Manasse, far hans; og han ofra til alle dei bilæti som Manasse, far hans, hadde gjort, og han tente deim.
And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, as his father Manasseh had done. Amon served and sacrificed to all the idols that his father Manasseh had made,
23 Han audmykte seg ikkje for Herrens åsyn, soleis som Manasse, far hans, gjorde, men han, Amon, leste på seg stor skuld.
but he did not humble himself before the LORD as his father Manasseh had done; instead, Amon increased his guilt.
24 Tenarane hans svor seg saman mot honom og drap honom i huset hans.
Then the servants of Amon conspired against him and killed him in his palace.
25 Men landsfolket drap alle deim som hadde svore seg saman imot kong Amon, og landsfolket tok Josia, son hans, til konge i staden hans.
But the people of the land killed all those who had conspired against King Amon, and they made his son Josiah king in his place.
