2 Mootota 21
1 Minaaseen yeroo mootii taʼetti nama waggaa kudha lama ture; innis Yerusaalem keessa taaʼee waggaa shantamii shan bulche. Maqaan haadha isaa Hefziibaa ture.
Manasseh was twelve when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for fifty-five years. His mother's name was Hephzibah.
2 Innis waan jibbisiisaa saboota Waaqayyo fuula Israaʼelootaa duraa ariʼee baase sanaa duukaa buʼuudhaan fuula Waaqayyoo duratti waan hamaa hojjete.
He did what was evil in the Lord's sight by following the disgusting pagan practices of the nations that the Lord had driven out before the Israelites.
3 Inni iddoowwan sagadaa kanneen abbaan isaa Hisqiyaas diigee ture sana illee deebisee ni ijaare; akkasumas akkuma Ahaab mootichi Israaʼel godhe sana Baʼaaliif iddoowwan aarsaa tolchee siidaa Aasheeraas ni dhaabe. Raayyaawwan samii hundaafis ni sagade; isaan waaqeffates.
He rebuilt the high places his father Hezekiah had destroyed, and he erected altars for Baal. He made an Asherah idol pole, just as Ahab, king of Israel, had done, and he worshiped and served the sun, moon, and stars.
4 Innis mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo kan Waaqayyo, “Ani Maqaa koo Yerusaalem keessa nan dhaaba” jedhee waaʼee isaa dubbate sana keessatti iddoowwan aarsaa tolche.
He set up pagan altars in the Lord's Temple, right where the Lord had said, “I will place my name in Jerusalem forever.”
5 Oobdiiwwan mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo lamaanuu keessattis raayyaawwan samii hundaaf iddoowwan aarsaa ni tolche.
He set up altars to worship the sun, moon, and stars in the two courtyards of the Lord's Temple.
6 Inni ilma ofii isaa ibiddaan aarsaa godhee dhiʼeesse; tolcha hojjetee, milkii ilaallatee, ilaaltotaa fi eker dubbistoota gorsa gaafate. Inni fuula Waaqayyoo duratti hammina guddaa ni hojjetee akkasiin dheekkamsaaf isa kakaase.
He even he sacrificed his own son as a burnt offering, and used fortune-telling and witchcraft, and he dealt with mediums and with spiritists. He did a great deal of evil in the Lord's sight, making the Lord angry.
7 Innis fakkii Asheeraa kan soofee hojjete sana fuudhee mana qulqullummaa kan Waaqayyo akkana jedhee waaʼee isaa Daawitii fi ilma isaa Solomoonii dubbatee ture sana keessa kaaʼe; “Mana qulqullummaa kana keessaa fi Yerusaalem ishee ani gosoota Israaʼel hunda keessaa filadhe sana keessa Maqaa koo bara baraan nan dhaaba.
He took the Asherah idol pole he had made and placed in the Temple. This was the place referred to by the Lord when he told David and Solomon, his son, “In this Temple and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen from all the tribes of Israel, I will place my name forever.
8 Yoo isaan waan ani isaan ajaje hunda hojjetanii Seera garbichi koo Museen isaaniif kenne guutuu eegan, ani siʼachi akka miilli Israaʼelootaa biyya ani abbootii isaaniitiif kenne keessaa baʼee jooru hin godhu.”
I will never again make the Israelites wander from the land I gave their forefathers if they are careful to follow everything I have ordered them to do—the whole law that my servant Moses gave them.”
9 Namoonni garuu hin dhaggeeffanne. Minaaseen karaa irraa isaan jalʼise; kanaafuu isaan saboota Waaqayyo fuula Israaʼelootaa duraa balleesse sana caalaa hammina hojjetan.
The people refused to listen and Manasseh led them to sin so that the evil they did was even worse than the nations the Lord had destroyed before the Israelites.
10 Waaqayyo karaa garboota isaa raajotaatiin akkana jedhee dubbate;
The Lord said through his servants the prophets:
11 “Minaaseen mootichi Yihuudaa cubbuu jibbisiisaa kanneen hojjeteera. Innis Amoorota isaan dura jiraatan caalaa waan hamaa hojjete; waaqota tolfamoo isaatiinis Yihuudaa cubbuu hojjechiise.
“Since Manasseh, king of Judah, has committed all these disgusting sins, doing even more evil things than the Amorites who lived before him, and by his encouragement of idol worship has made Judah sin,
12 Kanaafuu Waaqayyo Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedha: Ani waan hamaa nama isa dhagaʼu hunda suukaneessu tokko Yerusaalemii fi Yihuudaatti nan fida.
this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: Watch out! I am going to bring down upon Jerusalem and Judah such a disaster that it will cause ringing in the ears of everyone who hears it.
13 Ani funyoo Samaariyaatii fi tumbii mana Ahaab sana Yerusaalem irratti nan diriirsa. Akkuma namni caabii haxaaʼee gad gombisutti ani Yerusaalemin haxaaʼee nan gombisa.
I will extend over Jerusalem the measuring line used against Samaria and the plumb line used against the house of Ahab, and I will wipe away Jerusalem as people wipe clean a bowl, wiping it and turning it upside down.
14 Ani hambaa dhaala koo dhiisee harka diinota isaaniitti dabarsee nan kenna. Isaanis diinota isaanii hundaan ni saamamu; ni boojiʼamus.
I will give up on the remnant of my special people and hand them over to their enemies. They will be plunder and loot to all their enemies,
15 Isaan gaafa abbootiin isaanii Gibxii baʼanii jalqabee hamma harʼaatti fuula koo duratti waan hamaa hojjechuudhaan dheekkamsaaf na kakaasaniiruutii.”
because they have done what is evil in my sight, and have made me angry from the day their fathers left Egypt until today.”
16 Kana caalaas Minaaseen akka warri Yihuudaa fuula Waaqayyoo duratti waan hamaa hojjetan godhee cubbuu isaan hojjechiisuu isaa irra iyyuu dhiiga namoota balleessaa hin qabnee baayʼee dhangalaasee akka Yerusaalem daangaa tokkoo hamma daangaa kaaniitti dhiigaan guutamtu godheera.
On top of that, Manasseh murdered so many innocent people that Jerusalem was filled from one side to the other with their blood. This was in addition to the sin that he had made Judah commit, doing evil in the Lord's sight.
17 Wantoonni bara mootummaa Minaasee keessa hojjetaman kanneen biraa, wanni inni hojjete hundi, cubbuu inni hojjete dabalatee seenaa mootota Yihuudaa keessatti barreeffamaniiru mitii?
The rest of what happened in Manasseh's reign, all he did, as well as the sins he committed, are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Judah.
18 Minaaseen abbootii isaa wajjin boqotee iddoo biqiltuu masaraa mootummaa isaa keessatti, iddoo biqiltuu Uzaa keessatti ni awwaalame. Ilmi isaa Aamoonis iddoo isaa buʼee mootii taʼe.
Manasseh died, and was buried in his palace garden, the garden of Uzza. His son Amon succeeded him as king.
19 Aamoon yeroo mootii taʼetti umuriin isaa waggaa digdamii lama ture; innis Yerusaalem keessa taaʼee waggaa lama bulche. Maqaan haadha isaa Meshulemet ture; isheenis intala Haaruus nama biyya Yoxbaa turte.
Amon was twenty-two when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for two years. His mother's name was Meshullemeth, daughter of Haruz. She came from Jotbah.
20 Innis akkuma abbaan isaa Minaaseen hojjetee ture sana fuula Waaqayyoo duratti waan hamaa hojjete.
He did what was evil in the Lord's sight, just as his father Manasseh had done.
21 Innis karaa abbaa isaa hunda irra deeme; waaqota tolfamoo abbaan isaa waaqeffate illee waaqeffatee isaaniifis sagade.
He followed all the ways of his father, and he served the idols his father had served, bowing down in worship to them.
22 Inni Waaqayyo Waaqa abbootii isaa dhiise; karaa Waaqayyoo irras hin deemne.
He rejected the Lord, the God of his forefathers, and did not follow the way of the Lord.
23 Qondaaltonni Aamoon isatti mariʼatanii masaruma mootummaa isaa keessatti mooticha ni ajjeesan.
Amon's officials plotted against him and murdered him in his royal palace.
24 Kana irratti namoonni biyya sanaa warra Aamoon mootichatti malatan hunda fixanii ilma isaa Yosiyaasin immoo iddoo isaa mootii godhatan.
But then the people of the land killed everyone who had plotted against King Amon, and they chose his son Josiah king to succeed him.
25 Wanni bara mootummaa Aamoon keessa hojjetame kan biraa, wanni inni hojjetes kitaaba seenaa mootota Yihuudaa keessatti barreeffameera mitii?
The rest of what happened in Amon's reign, and all he did, are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Judah.
26 Innis awwaala isaa kan iddoo biqiltuu Uzaa keessatti ni awwaalame. Ilmi isaa Yosiyaasis iddoo isaa buʼee mootii taʼe.
He was buried in his tomb in the garden of Uzza, and his son Josiah succeeded him as king.
