2 Makoronike 33
1 Manase akanga ane makore gumi namaviri paakava mambo, uye akatonga muJerusarema kwamakore makumi mashanu namashanu.
Manasses was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem.
2 Akaita zvakaipa pamberi paJehovha, achitevedzera zvinonyangadza pamberi paJehovha zvaiitwa nendudzi dzakadzingwa naJehovha pamberi pavaIsraeri.
And he did evil before the Lord, according to all the abominations of the nations, which the Lord cast out before the children of Israel:
3 Akavakazve nzvimbo dzakakwirira dzakanga dzaparadzwa nababa vake Hezekia. Akavaka aritari dzaBhaari uye akagadzira matanda aAshera. Akakotamira nyeredzi dzose dzokudenga akadzishumira.
And he turned, and built again the high places which Ezechias his father had destroyed: and he built altars to Baalim, and made groves, and he adored all the host of heaven, and worshipped them.
4 Akavaka aritari mutemberi yaJehovha yakanga yanzi naJehovha, “Zita rangu richaramba riri muJerusarema nokusingaperi.”
He built also altars in the house of the Lord, whereof the Lord had said: In Jerusalem shall my name be for ever.
5 Muzvivanze zvose zvetemberi yaJehovha akavaka aritari dzenyeredzi dzose dzedenga.
And he built them for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the Lord.
6 Akabayira vanakomana vake mumoto mumupata weBheni Hinomi akaita zvamashura, mazango, nouroyi, akandobvunzira kumasvikiro, navavuki. Akaita zvakaipa zvizhinji pamberi paJehovha akamutsa hasha dzake.
And he made his sons to pass through the fire in the valley of Benennom: he observed dreams, followed divinations, gave himself up to magic arts, had with him magicians, and enchanters: and he wrought many evils before the Lord, to provoke him to anger.
7 Akatora chifananidzo chakavezwa chaakanga agadzira akachiisa mutemberi yaMwari, yakanga yanzi naMwari kuna Dhavhidhi nokumwanakomana wake Soromoni, “Mutemberi ino nomuJerusarema randakasarudza kubva mumarudzi ose eIsraeri, ndichaisa Zita rangu nokusingaperi.
He set also a graven, and a molten statue in the house of God, of which God had said to David, and to Solomon his son: In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, will I put my name for ever.
8 Handichatenderizve kuti tsoka dzavaIsraeri dzibude munyika yandakavimbisa madzitateguru enyu. Kana chete vakachenjerera kuita zvose zvandakavarayira maererano nemirayiro yose, mitemo, nezvandakatema zvakapiwa kubudikidza naMozisi.”
And I will not make the foot of Israel to be removed out of the land which I have delivered to their fathers: yet so if they will take heed to do what I hare commanded them, and all the law, and the ceremonies, and judgments by the hand of Moses.
9 Asi Manase akatungamirira Judha navanhu veJerusarema mukurasika, zvokuti vakaita zvakatonyanya kuipa kupfuura ndudzi dzose dzakanga dzaparadzwa pamberi pavaIsraeri.
So Manasses seduced Juda, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, to do evil beyond all the nations, which the Lord had destroyed before the face of the children of Israel.
10 Jehovha akataura kuna Manase navanhu vake, asi ivo havana kuteerera.
And the Lord spoke to him, and to his people, and they would not hearken.
11 Saka Jehovha akauyisa vatungamiri vehondo yavaAsiria kuzovarwisa vakatora Manase somusungwa, vakaisa chikokovonho mumhino yake, vakamusunga nengetani dzendarira vakaenda naye kuBhabhironi.
Therefore he brought upon them the captains of the army of the king of the Assyrians: and they took Manasses, and carried him bound with chains and fetters to Babylon.
12 Mukutambudzika kwake akatsvaka Jehovha Mwari wake akazvininipisa kwazvo pamberi paMwari wamadzibaba ake.
And after that he was in distress he prayed to the Lord his God: and did penance exceedingly before the God of his fathers.
13 Uye paakanyengetera kwaari, Jehovha akasundwa nokuzvininipisa kwake akateerera kudemba kwake. Saka akamudzosa kuJerusarema uye kuumambo hwake. Ipapo Manase akaziva kuti Jehovha ndiMwari.
And he entreated him, and besought him earnestly: and he heard his prayer, and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom, and Manasses knew that the Lord was God.
14 Mushure maizvozvi akavakazve rusvingo rwokunze rweGuta raDhavhidhi, kumavirira kwechitubu chepaGihoni mumupata, kusvika pavanopinda napo paSuo reHove akakomberedza chikomo chaOferi; akachiitawo kuti chinyanye kukwirira. Akamisa vakuru vehondo mumaguta ose ane masvingo muJudha.
After this he built a wall without the city of David, on the west side of Gihon in the valley, from the entering in of the fish gate round about to Ophel, and raised it up to a great height: and he appointed captains of the army in all the fenced cities of Juda:
15 Akaparadza vamwari vose vedzimwe nyika akabvisa chifananidzo kubva mutemberi yaJehovha nearitari dzaakanga avaka pachikomo chetemberi nomuJerusarema akadzikanda kunze kweguta.
And he took away the strange gods, and the idol out of the house of the Lord: the altars also which he had made in the mount of the house of the Lord, and in Jerusalem, and he cast them all out of the city.
16 Ipapo akavakazve aritari yaJehovha akabayira zvipiriso zvokuwadzana nokuvonga pairi. Uye akataurira Judha kuti ishumire Jehovha, Mwari weIsraeri.
And he repaired the altar of the Lord, and sacrificed upon it victims, and peace offerings, and praise: and he commanded Juda to serve the Lord the God of Israel.
17 Zvisinei, vanhu vakaramba vachibayira panzvimbo dzakakwirira, asi kuna Jehovha Mwari wavo chete.
Nevertheless the people still sacrificed in the high places to the Lord their God.
18 Zvimwe zvakaitwa naManase panguva yokutonga kwake, kusanganisira munyengetero wake kuna Mwari wake, namashoko akataurwa navaoni kwaari muzita raJehovha Mwari waIsraeri, zvakanyorwa munhoroondo dzamadzimambo eIsraeri.
But the rest of the acts of Manasses, and his prayer to his God, and the words of the seers that spoke to him in the name of the Lord the God of Israel, are contained in the words of the kings of Israel.
19 Munyengetero wake uye kuti Mwari akasundwa sei nokuzvininipisa kwake, nezvivi zvake zvose nokusatendeka kwake, nenzvimbo dzaakavakira nzvimbo dzakakwirira nokumisa matanda aAshera nezvifananidzo asati azvininipisa, zvose zvakanyorwa munhoroondo dzavaoni.
His prayer also, and his being heard, and all his sins, and contempt, and places wherein he built high places, and set up groves, and statues before he did penance, are written in the words of Hozai.
20 Manase akazorora namadzibaba ake akavigwa mumuzinda wake. Uye Amoni mwanakomana wake akamutevera paumambo.
And Manasses slept with his fathers. and they buried him in his house: and his son Amen reigned in his stead.
21 Amoni akanga ava namakore makumi maviri namaviri paakava mambo, uye akatonga muJerusarema kwamakore maviri.
Amen was two and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem.
22 Akaita zvakaipa pamberi paJehovha, sezvakanga zvaitwa naManase baba vake. Amoni akashumira uye akapa zvibayiro zvakanga zvagadzirwa naManase.
And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, as Manasses his father had done: and he sacrificed to all the idols which Manasses his father had made, and served them.
23 Asi haana kuzoita sababa vake, haana kuzvininipisa pamberi paJehovha. Amoni akawedzera mhosva yake.
And he did not humble himself before the Lord, as Manasses his father had humbled himself, but committed far greater sins.
24 Makurukota aAmoni akarangana akamuuraya mumuzinda wake.
And his servants conspired against him, and slew him in his own house.
25 Ipapo vanhu venyika yose vakauraya vose vakanga varangana kuuraya mambo Amoni. Vakaita Josia mwanakomana wake mambo panzvimbo yake.
But the rest of the multitude of the people slew them that had killed Amen, and made Josias his son king in his stead.
