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 had begun to reign, and he reigned for fifty-five years in Jerusalem.
2 Innis waan jibbisiisaa saboota Waaqayyo fuula Israaʼelootaa duraa ariʼee baase sanaa duukaa buʼuudhaan fuula Waaqayyoo duratti waan hamaa hojjete.
But he did evil before the Lord, in accord with all the abominations of the nations which the Lord overturned before the sons of Israel.
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.
And turning away, he repaired the high places, which had been demolished by his father, Hezekiah. And he constructed altars to the Baals, and made sacred groves. And he adored the entire army of heaven, and he served them.
4 Innis mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo kan Waaqayyo, “Maqaan koo bara baraan Yerusaalem keessa ni jiraata” jedhee waaʼee isaa dubbate sana keessatti iddoowwan aarsaa tolche.
Also, he built altars in the house of the Lord, about which the Lord had said, “My name shall be in Jerusalem forever.”
5 Oobdiiwwan mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo lamaanuu keessattis raayyaawwan samii hundaaf iddoowwan aarsaa ni tolche.
But he built these for the entire army of heaven, in the two courts of the house of the Lord.
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.
And he caused his sons to pass through fire in the Valley of the son of Hinnom. He observed dreams, followed divinations, served the occult arts, had with him magicians and enchanters, and worked many evils before the Lord, so that he provoked him.
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.
Also, he set up a graven image and molten statue in the house of God, about which God said to David, and to his son Solomon: “In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen from all the tribes of Israel, I will place 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.”
And I will not cause the foot of Israel to be moved from the land which I delivered to their fathers. Yet this is so, only if they will take care to do what I have instructed them, by the hand of Moses, with the entire law and the ceremonies and the judgments.”
9 Minaaseen Yihuudaa fi namoota Yerusaalem karaa irraa jalʼise; kanaafuu isaan saboota Waaqayyo fuula Israaʼelootaa duraa balleesse sana caalaa hammina hojjetan.
And so Manasseh seduced Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that they did evil, more so than all the nations which the Lord had overturned before the face of the sons of Israel.
10 Waaqayyos Minaasee fi saba isaatti dubbateera; isaan garuu dhagaʼuu hin feene.
And the Lord spoke to him and to his people, but they were not willing to pay attention.
11 Kanaafuu Waaqayyo ajajjoota loltoota mootii Asoor isaanitti kaase; isaanis Minaasee qabanii hokkoo funyaanitti kaʼaanii foncaadhaan hidhanii Baabilonitti isa geessan.
Therefore, he led over them the leaders of the army of the king of the Assyrians. And they captured Manasseh, and they led him, bound with chains and fetters, to Babylon.
12 Innis lubbamee Waaqayyo Waaqa isaa barbaadee fuula Waaqa abbootii isaa duratti akka malee gad of qabe.
And after this, being in great anguish, he prayed to the Lord his God. And he did penance greatly 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 he petitioned and begged him intently. And he heeded his prayer, and led him back to Jerusalem, into his kingdom. And Manasseh realized that the Lord himself was 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 these things, he built a wall outside the City of David, to the west of Gihon, at the steep valley, from the entrance to the fish gate, circling around as far as Ophel. And he raised it up greatly. And he appointed leaders of the army 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.
And he took away the foreign gods, and the idol from the house of the Lord, and also the altars which he had made on the mount of the house of the Lord and in Jerusalem. And he cast all these things 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 repaired the altar of the Lord, and he immolated upon it victims, and peace offerings, with praise. And he instructed 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.
Yet still the people were immolating on the high places, 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.
But the rest of the deeds of Manasseh, and his prayer to his God, and also the words of the seers who were speaking to him in the name of the Lord, the God of Israel, are contained in the words 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.
Also, his prayer and its heeding, and all his sins and contempt, and the sites on which he built high places and made sacred groves and statues, before he repented, have been written in the words of Hozai.
20 Minaaseenis abbootii isaa wajjin boqotee masaraa mootummaa isaa keessatti awwaalame. Ilmi isaa Aamoonis iddoo isaa buʼee mootii taʼe.
Then Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they buried him in his own house. 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 had begun to reign, and he reigned for two years in Jerusalem.
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, just as his father Manasseh had done. And he immolated to all the idols that Manasseh had fabricated, and he served them.
23 Inni garuu akka abbaa isaa Minaasee fuula Waaqayyoo duratti gad of hin qabne; Aamoon ittuma caalchisee yakka hojjete.
But he did not turn his face to the Lord, as his father Manasseh had turned himself. And he sinned much more grievously.
24 Qondaaltonni Amoon isatti mariʼatanii masaruma mootummaa isaa keessatti isa ajjeesan.
And when his servants had conspired against him, they killed him in his own house.
25 Kana irratti namoonni biyya sanaa warra Aamoon Mootichatti malatan hunda fixanii ilma isaa Yosiyaasin immoo iddoo isaa mootii godhatan.
But the rest of the multitude of the people, having slain those who had struck down Amon, appointed his son, Josiah, as king in his place.
