2 Krønikebok 33
1 Tolv år gamall var Manasse då han vart konge, og fem og femti år styrde han i Jerusalem.
Manasses was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem.
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 before the Lord, according to all the abominations of the nations, which the Lord cast out before the children of Israel:
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.
And he turned, and built again the high places which Ezechias his father had destroyed: and he built altars to Baalim, and made groves, and he adored all the host of heaven, and worshipped them.
4 Og han bygde altar i Herrens hus, endå Herren hadde sagt: «I Jerusalem skal namnet mitt vera æveleg.»
He built also altars in the house of the Lord, whereof the Lord had said: In Jerusalem shall my name be for ever.
5 Og han bygde altar for heile himmelheren i båe tuni kring Herrens hus.
And he built them for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the Lord.
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.
And he made his sons to pass through the fire in the valley of Benennom: he observed dreams, followed divinations, gave himself up to magic arts, had with him magicians, and enchanters: and he wrought many evils before the Lord, to provoke 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.
He set also a graven, and a molten statue 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 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.»
And I will not make the foot of Israel to be removed out of the land which I have delivered to their fathers: yet so if they will take heed to do what I hare commanded them, and all the law, and the ceremonies, and judgments by the hand of Moses.
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 Manasses seduced Juda, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, to do evil beyond all the nations, which the Lord had destroyed before the face of the children of Israel.
10 Då tala Herren til Manasse og folket hans, men dei agta ikkje på det.
And the Lord spoke to him, and to his people, and they would not hearken.
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.
Therefore he brought upon them the captains of the army of the king of the Assyrians: and they took Manasses, and carried him bound with chains and fetters 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 after that he was in distress he prayed to the Lord his God: and did penance exceedingly 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 he entreated him, and besought him earnestly: and he heard his prayer, and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom, and Manasses knew that the Lord was 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 he built a wall without the city of David, on the west side of Gihon in the valley, from the entering in of the fish gate round about to Ophel, and raised it up to a great height: and he appointed captains of the army in all the fenced cities of Juda:
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.
And he took away the strange gods, and the idol out of the house of the Lord: the altars also which he had made in the mount of the house of the Lord, and in Jerusalem, and he cast them all out of 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.
And he repaired the altar of the Lord, and sacrificed upon it victims, and peace offerings, and praise: and he commanded Juda 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 in the high places 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.
But the rest of the acts of Manasses, and his prayer to his God, and the words of the seers that spoke to him in the name of the Lord the God of Israel, are contained in the words 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 also, and his being heard, and all his sins, and contempt, and places wherein he built high places, and set up groves, and statues before he did penance, are written in the words of Hozai.
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 Manasses slept with his fathers. and they buried him in his house: and his son Amen reigned in his stead.
21 Tvo og tjuge år gamall var Amon då han vart konge, og tvo år styrde han i Jerusalem.
Amen was two and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem.
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 Manasses his father had done: and he sacrificed to all the idols which Manasses his father had made, and served them.
23 Han audmykte seg ikkje for Herrens åsyn, soleis som Manasse, far hans, gjorde, men han, Amon, leste på seg stor skuld.
And he did not humble himself before the Lord, as Manasses his father had humbled himself, but committed far greater sins.
24 Tenarane hans svor seg saman mot honom og drap honom i huset hans.
And his servants conspired against him, and slew him in his own house.
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 rest of the multitude of the people slew them that had killed Amen, and made Josias his son king in his stead.
