2 Seenaa 33
1 Minaaseen yeroo mootii taʼetti nama waggaa kudha lama ture; innis Yerusaalem keessa taaʼee waggaa shantamii shan bulche.
Manasseh was twelve years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem fifty-five years.
2 Innis waan jibbisiisaa saboota Waaqayyo fuula Israaʼelootaa duraa ariʼee baase sanaa duukaa buʼuudhaan fuula Waaqayyoo duratti waan hamaa hojjete.
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 Inni iddoowwan sagadaa kanneen abbaan isaa Hisqiyaas barbadeessee ture sana illee deebisee ni ijaare; akkasumas Baʼaaliif iddoowwan aarsaa tolchee siidaawwan Aasheeraas ni dhaabe. Raayyaawwan samii hundaafis ni sagade; isaan waaqeffates.
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 Innis mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo kan Waaqayyo, “Maqaan koo bara baraan Yerusaalem keessa ni jiraata” jedhee waaʼee isaa dubbate sana keessatti iddoowwan aarsaa tolche.
Manasseh also built altars in the house of the LORD, of which the LORD had said, “My Name will remain in Jerusalem forever.”
5 Oobdiiwwan mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo lamaanuu keessattis raayyaawwan samii hundaaf iddoowwan aarsaa ni tolche.
In both courtyards of the house of the LORD, he built altars to all the host of heaven.
6 Sulula Ben Hinoomittis ilmaan isaa ibiddaan aarsaa godhee dhiʼeesse; tolchaa fi falfala hojjetee, milkii ilaallatee, ilaaltotaa fi eker dubbistoota gorsa gaafate. Inni fuula Waaqayyoo duratti hammina guddaa ni hojjetee akkasiin dheekkamsaaf isa kakaase.
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 Innis fakkii Waaqa tolfamaa kan hojjetee ture sana geessee mana qulqullummaa Waaqaa kan Waaqni akkana jedhee waaʼee isaa Daawitii fi ilma isaa Solomoonitti dubbatee ture sana keessa kaaʼe; “Mana qulqullummaa kana keessaa fi Yerusaalem ishee ani gosoota Israaʼel hunda keessaa filadhe keessa Maqaa koo bara baraan nan dhaaba.
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 Yoo isaan waan ani waaʼee seera, labsii fi qajeelcha karaa Museetiin kenname sanaa isaan ajaje hunda hojjetanii ani siʼachi akka miilli Israaʼelootaa biyya ani abbootii keessaniif kenne keessaa baʼu hin godhu.”
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 Minaaseen Yihuudaa fi namoota Yerusaalem karaa irraa jalʼise; kanaafuu isaan saboota Waaqayyo fuula Israaʼelootaa duraa balleesse sana caalaa hammina hojjetan.
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 Waaqayyos Minaasee fi saba isaatti dubbateera; isaan garuu dhagaʼuu hin feene.
And the LORD spoke to Manasseh and his people, but they did not listen.
11 Kanaafuu Waaqayyo ajajjoota loltoota mootii Asoor isaanitti kaase; isaanis Minaasee qabanii hokkoo funyaanitti kaʼaanii foncaadhaan hidhanii Baabilonitti isa geessan.
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 Innis lubbamee Waaqayyo Waaqa isaa barbaadee fuula Waaqa abbootii isaa duratti akka malee gad of qabe.
And in his distress, Manasseh sought the favor of the LORD his God and earnestly humbled himself before the God of his fathers.
13 Waaqayyos yeroo inni isa kadhatetti naʼeefii waammata isaa dhagaʼeef; deebisees gara Yerusaalem mootummaa isaatti isa fide. Minaaseenis ergasii akka Waaqayyo Waaqa taʼe ni beeke.
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 Ergasii dallaa Magaalaa Daawit isa alaa, karaa lixa burqaa Giihoon kan sulula keessaa gaara Oofeelitti naannessee hamma Karra Qurxummiitti ni haaromse; dallaa kanas akka malee ol dheeresse. Magaalaawwan Yihuudaa kanneen dallaa jabaa qaban hunda keessas ajajjoota waraanaa ni qubachiise.
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 Innis waaqota ormaa fi fakkiiwwan mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo keessaa ni balleesse; akkasumas iddoowwan aarsaa kanneen inni gaarran mana qulqullummaa irraa fi Yerusaalem keessatti tolche hundas ni diige; magaalaa keessaas baasee ni gate.
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 Iddoo aarsaa Waaqayyoo deebisee dhaabee aarsaa nagaa fi aarsaa galataa irratti ni dhiʼeesse; akka isaan Waaqayyo Waaqa Israaʼel tajaajilaniif namoota Yihuudaa ni ajaje.
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 Taʼus sabni ittuma fufee iddoowwan sagadaa kanneen gaarran irraa keessatti aarsaa dhiʼeesse; garuu uummanni sun Waaqayyo Waaqa isaa qofaaf aarsaa dhiʼeessaa ture.
Nevertheless, the people still sacrificed at the high places, but only to the LORD their God.
18 Wantoonni bara mootummaa Minaasee keessa hojjetaman kanneen biraa, kadhannaan inni Waaqa isaa kadhatee fi dubbii inni namoota waa arganii himan maqaa Waaqayyo Waaqa Israaʼeliin isatti himan dabalatee seenaa mootota Israaʼel keessatti barreeffameera.
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 Kadhannaan isaa fi akki Waaqni itti garaa laafeefii kadhannaa isaa dhagaʼeef, cubbuun inni hojjete hundii fi amanamummaa dhabuun isaa, akkasumas utuu gad of hin qabin dura iddoowwan sagadaa kanneen gaarran irraa ijaaruun isaa, siidaawwan Aasheeraa fi waaqota tolfamoo dhaabuun isaa hundi galmeewwan namoota waa arganii himanii keessatti barreeffamaniiru.
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 Minaaseenis abbootii isaa wajjin boqotee masaraa mootummaa isaa keessatti awwaalame. Ilmi isaa Aamoonis iddoo isaa buʼee mootii taʼe.
And Manasseh rested with his fathers and was buried at his palace. And his son Amon reigned in his place.
21 Aamoon yeroo mootii taʼetti umuriin isaa waggaa digdamii lama ture. Innis Yerusaalem keessa taaʼee waggaa lama bulche.
Amon was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem two years.
22 Innis akkuma abbaan isaa Minaaseen hojjetee ture sana fuula Waaqayyoo duratti waan hamaa hojjete. Aamoon waaqota Minaaseen tolche waaqeffate; hunda isaaniitifis aarsaa dhiʼeesse.
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 Inni garuu akka abbaa isaa Minaasee fuula Waaqayyoo duratti gad of hin qabne; Aamoon ittuma caalchisee yakka hojjete.
but he did not humble himself before the LORD as his father Manasseh had done; instead, Amon increased his guilt.
24 Qondaaltonni Amoon isatti mariʼatanii masaruma mootummaa isaa keessatti isa ajjeesan.
Then the servants of Amon conspired against him and killed him in his palace.
25 Kana irratti namoonni biyya sanaa warra Aamoon Mootichatti malatan hunda fixanii ilma isaa Yosiyaasin immoo iddoo isaa mootii godhatan.
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.
