2 Kraljevima 21
1 Dvanaest godina bješe Manasiji kad poèe carovati, i carova pedeset i pet godina u Jerusalimu. Materi mu bješe ime Efsiva.
Manasseh was twelve when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for fifty-five years. His mother's name was Hephzibah.
2 I èinjaše što je zlo pred Gospodom po gadnijem djelima naroda, koje Gospod odagna ispred sinova Izrailjevijeh;
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 Jer opet naèini visine, koje bješe potro Jezekija otac njegov, i podiže oltare Valu, i naèini lug kao što bješe naèinio Ahav car Izrailjev, i klanjaše se svoj vojsci nebeskoj i služaše joj.
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 I naèini oltare u domu Gospodnjem, za koji bješe rekao Gospod: u Jerusalimu æu namjestiti ime svoje;
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 Naèini oltare svoj vojsci nebeskoj u dva trijema doma Gospodnjega.
He set up altars to worship the sun, moon, and stars in the two courtyards of the Lord's Temple.
6 I sina svojega provede kroz oganj, i vraèaše i gataše, i uredi one što se dogovaraju s duhovima i vraèare; i èinjaše vrlo mnogo što je zlo pred Gospodom, gnjeveæi ga.
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 I postavi rezan lik šumski koji naèini u domu, za koji bješe rekao Gospod Davidu i Solomunu sinu njegovu: u ovom domu i u Jerusalimu, koji izabrah izmeðu svijeh plemena Izrailjevijeh, namjestiæu ime svoje dovijeka;
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 I neæu više dati da se makne noga sinovima Izrailjevijem iz zemlje koju dadoh ocima njihovijem, ako samo uzdrže i ustvore sve što sam im zapovjedio, i sav zakon koji im je zapovjedio moj sluga Mojsije.
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 Ali ne poslušaše, jer ih zavede Manasija, te èiniše gore nego narodi koje istrijebi Gospod ispred sinova Izrailjevijeh.
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 A Gospod govoraše preko sluga svojih proroka govoreæi:
The Lord said through his servants the prophets:
11 Što uèini Manasija car Judin ta gadna djela èineæi gore od svega što su èinili Amoreji koji prije njega biše, i navede na grijeh i Judu gadnijem bogovima svojim;
“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 Zato ovako veli Gospod Bog Izrailjev: evo, ja æu pustiti zlo na Jerusalim i na Judu, da æe svakome ko èuje zujati oba uha.
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 Jer æu zategnuti nad Jerusalimom uže Samarijsko i mjerila doma Ahavova, i zbrisaæu Jerusalim, kao što se briše zdjela, izbriše se pa se izvrne.
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 I ostaviæu ostatak našljedstva svojega, i daæu ih u ruke neprijateljima njihovijem da budu plijen i grabež svijem neprijateljima svojim.
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 Jer èiniše što je zlo preda mnom, i gnjeviše me od dana kad izidoše oci njihovi iz Misira do danas.
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 Još i pravu krv veoma mnogu proli Manasija tako da napuni Jerusalim od kraja do kraja, osim grijeha svojega kojim navede Judu na grijeh da èini što je zlo pred Gospodom.
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 A ostala djela Manasijina i sve što je èinio, i grijeh, kojim je griješio, nije li to zapisano u dnevniku careva Judinijeh?
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 I poèinu Manasija kod otaca svojih, i bi pogreben u vrtu kod doma svojega, u vrtu Ozinu; a na njegovo mjesto zacari se Amon sin njegov.
Manasseh died, and was buried in his palace garden, the garden of Uzza. His son Amon succeeded him as king.
19 Dvadeset i dvije godine imaše Amon kad poèe carovati, i carova dvije godine u Jerusalimu. Materi mu bješe ime Mesulemeta, kæi Arusova, iz Joteve.
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 On èinjaše što je zlo pred Gospodom, kao što je èinio Manasija otac njegov.
He did what was evil in the Lord's sight, just as his father Manasseh had done.
21 I hoðaše svijem putem kojim je hodio otac njegov, i služaše gadnijem bogovima, kojima je služio otac njegov, i klanjaše im se.
He followed all the ways of his father, and he served the idols his father had served, bowing down in worship to them.
22 I ostavi Gospoda Boga otaca svojih, i ne hodi putem Gospodnjim.
He rejected the Lord, the God of his forefathers, and did not follow the way of the Lord.
23 A sluge Amonove pobuniše se na nj, i ubiše cara u dvoru njegovu.
Amon's officials plotted against him and murdered him in his royal palace.
24 A narod zemaljski pobi sve koji se bijahu pobunili na cara Amona; i zacari narod zemaljski na njegovo mjesto Josiju sina njegova.
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 A ostala djela Amonova, što je èinio, nijesu li zapisana u dnevniku careva Judinijeh?
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 I pogreboše ga u njegovu grobu u vrtu Ozinu; i Josija sin njegov bi car na njegovo mjesto.
He was buried in his tomb in the garden of Uzza, and his son Josiah succeeded him as king.
