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 years old when he began to rule. He ruled Judah for 55 years from Jerusalem. His mother was Hephzibah.
2 I èinjaše što je zlo pred Gospodom po gadnijem djelima naroda, koje Gospod odagna ispred sinova Izrailjevijeh;
He did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil. He imitated the disgusting things that were formerly done by the people of the nations that Yahweh had expelled from the land of Israel as his people advanced [through the land].
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 commanded his workers to rebuild the shrines [for worshiping Yahweh] that his father Hezekiah had destroyed [because they were not in the place that Yahweh had said they should worship him]. He directed his workers to build altars for worshiping Baal. He made [a statue of the goddess] Asherah, like Ahab the king of Israel had done [previously]. And Manasseh worshiped [DOU] the stars.
4 I naèini oltare u domu Gospodnjem, za koji bješe rekao Gospod: u Jerusalimu æu namjestiti ime svoje;
He directed his workers to build altars [for worshiping foreign gods] in the temple of Yahweh, about which Yahweh had said, “It is here in Jerusalem where I want people to worship [MTY] me, forever.”
5 Naèini oltare svoj vojsci nebeskoj u dva trijema doma Gospodnjega.
He directed that altars for worshiping the stars be built in both of the courtyards outside the 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 sacrificed his own son by burning [him in a fire]. He performed rituals to practice sorcery and magic rituals. He also went to people who consulted the spirits of dead people to find out what would happen in the future. He did many things that Yahweh considered to be extremely evil, things that caused Yahweh to become very 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 placed the statue of the goddess Asherah in the temple, the place about which Yahweh had said to David and his son Solomon, “My temple will be here in Jerusalem. This is the city that I have chosen from all the territory of the twelve tribes of Israel, where I want people to worship me, 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.
And if the Israeli people obey all my commands and all the laws that I gave to Moses, the man who served me [very well], I will not again force them to leave this land that I gave to their ancestors.”
9 Ali ne poslušaše, jer ih zavede Manasija, te èiniše gore nego narodi koje istrijebi Gospod ispred sinova Izrailjevijeh.
But the people did not heed Yahweh. And Manasseh persuaded them to commit sins that are more evil than the sins that were committed by the people of the nations that Yahweh had expelled from the land as the Israeli people advanced.
10 A Gospod govoraše preko sluga svojih proroka govoreæi:
[These are some of the things that] the prophets said many times, messages that Yahweh had given them:
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;
“Manasseh, the king of Judah, has done these abominable things, things that are much worse than the things that the Amor people-group did in this land long ago. He has persuaded the people of Judah to sin by [worshiping] idols.
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.
Therefore, this is what I, Yahweh, the God whom you Israeli people worship, say: I will the cause the people of Jerusalem and the rest of Judah to experience great disasters. It will be terrible, with the result that everyone who hears about it will be stunned [MTY].
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 judge and punish [MET] the people of Jerusalem like I punished the family of King Ahab [of Israel]. I will (wipe Jerusalem clean/remove all the people from Jerusalem), like [MET] people wipe a plate and then turn it upside down [after they have finished eating, to show that they are now satisfied].
14 I ostaviæu ostatak našljedstva svojega, i daæu ih u ruke neprijateljima njihovijem da budu plijen i grabež svijem neprijateljima svojim.
And I will abandon the people who remain alive, and I will allow their enemies to conquer them and steal everything valuable from their land.
15 Jer èiniše što je zlo preda mnom, i gnjeviše me od dana kad izidoše oci njihovi iz Misira do danas.
I will do this because my people have done things that I consider to be very evil, things which have caused me to become very angry. They have caused me to become angry continually, ever since their ancestors left Egypt.”
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.
Manasseh [commanded his officials to] kill many innocent people in Jerusalem, with the result that their blood flowed in the streets. He did this in addition to persuading the people of Judah to sin against Yahweh [by worshiping idols].
17 A ostala djela Manasijina i sve što je èinio, i grijeh, kojim je griješio, nije li to zapisano u dnevniku careva Judinijeh?
[If you want to know more about] all the things that Manasseh did, they are written in the scroll called ‘The History 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 [EUP] and was buried in the garden outside his palace, the garden that Uzza [had made]. Then Manasseh’s son Amon became the 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 years old when he became king. He ruled Judah from Jerusalem for [only] two years. His mother’s name was Meshullemeth. She was from Jotbah [town], and was the granddaughter of Haruz.
20 On èinjaše što je zlo pred Gospodom, kao što je èinio Manasija otac njegov.
Amon did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil, like 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 imitated the behavior of his father, and he worshiped the same idols that his father had worshiped [DOU].
22 I ostavi Gospoda Boga otaca svojih, i ne hodi putem Gospodnjim.
He abandoned Yahweh, the God whom his ancestors [had worshiped], and did not behave as Yahweh wanted him to.
23 A sluge Amonove pobuniše se na nj, i ubiše cara u dvoru njegovu.
Then one day some of his officials plotted to kill him. They assassinated him in the 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 Judah killed all those who had assassinated King Amon, and they appointed his son Josiah to be their king.
25 A ostala djela Amonova, što je èinio, nijesu li zapisana u dnevniku careva Judinijeh?
[If you want to read about] [RHQ] the other things that Amon did, they are written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.
26 I pogreboše ga u njegovu grobu u vrtu Ozinu; i Josija sin njegov bi car na njegovo mjesto.
Amon was also buried in the tomb in the garden that Uzza [had made]. Then Amon’s son Josiah became the king.
