Anamanga maguwa ansembewa mʼNyumba ya Yehova, mʼmene Yehova ananena kuti, “Mu Yerusalemu ndidzayikamo Dzina langa.”
5 Muzvivanze zvose zviri zviviri zvetemberi yaJehovha, akavakira nyeredzi dzose dzokudenga aritari.
Mʼmabwalo onse awiri a Nyumba ya Yehova, Manase anamangamo maguwa opembedzerapo zinthu zamlengalenga.
6 Akabayira mwanakomana wake mumoto, akaita uroyi nokuvuka, akabvunza masvikiro navavuki. Akaita zvakaipa zvakawanda pamberi paJehovha, akamutsa hasha dzake.

9 Asi vanhu havana kuteerera. Manase akavatsausa, zvokuti vakanyanya kuita zvakaipa kupfuura dzimwe ndudzi dzakaparadzwa pamberi pavaIsraeri naJehovha.
Koma anthu sanamvere. Manase anawasocheretsa, kotero kuti anachita zoyipa zambiri kupambana anthu a mitundu ina amene Yehova anawawononga pamene Aisraeli ankafika.
10 Jehovha akataura kubudikidza navaranda vake ivo vaprofita akati,

11 “Manase mambo weJudha aita zvivi zvinonyangadza izvi. Aita zvakaipa zvakawanda kupfuura vaAmori vakamutangira uye atungamirira Judha muzvivi nezvifananidzo zvake.
“Manase mfumu ya Yuda wachita machimo onyansawa ndipo wachita zoyipa kupambana Aamori amene analipo kale iye asanabadwe ndi kuchimwitsa anthu a ku Yuda ndi mafano ake.
12 Naizvozvo zvanzi naJehovha, Mwari waIsraeri: Ndichauyisa dambudziko pamusoro peJerusarema neJudha zvokuti nzeve dzomumwe nomumwe achanzwa nezvazvo dzichaunga.
Choncho Yehova Mulungu wa Israeli akuti, ‘Taonani, ndikubweretsa pa Yerusalemu ndi Yuda mavuto akuti aliyense amene adzawamve adzathedwa nzeru.
13 Ndichatambanudzira kuJerusarema tambo yokuyeresa yandakayera nayo Samaria nerwodzi rwandakashandisa kuyera narwo imba yaAhabhu. Ndichapukuta Jerusarema somunhu anonopukuta ndiro, anoipukuta uye agoitsindikira.
Ndidzalanga Yerusalemu ndi Yuda pogwiritsa ntchito muyeso umene ndinalangira Samariya ndi Ahabu pamodzi ndi nyumba yake. Ndidzayeretsa Yerusalemu monga mmene munthu amachitira popukuta mbale ndipo atayipukuta amayivundikira pansi.
14 Ndichafuratira vakasara venhaka yangu uye ndichavapa kuvavengi vavo. Vachabirwa uye vachapambwa navavengi vavo,
Ndidzawataya anthu otsala amene ndi cholowa changa ndipo ndidzawapereka mʼmanja mwa adani awo. Adzachotsedwa ndipo adaniwo adzawalanda zinthu zonse
15 nokuti vakaita zvakaipa pamberi pangu vakanditsamwisa kubva pazuva rakabuda madzitateguru avo kubva muIjipiti kusvikira zuva ranhasi.”
chifukwa anachita zoyipa pamaso panga ndipo akhala akundikwiyitsa kuchokera tsiku limene makolo awo anatuluka mu Igupto mpaka lero lino.’”
16 Pamusoro pezvo, Manase akateura ropa risina mhosva rakawanda zvokuti akazadza Jerusarema kubva kuno rumwe rutivi kusvika kuno rumwe, zvisiri izvozvo chete, asi nezvivi zvaakaita kuti Judha iite, zvokuti vakaita zvakaipa pamberi paJehovha.
Kuwonjezera apo, Manase anakhetsa kwambiri magazi a anthu osalakwa mpaka magaziwo kuyenderera mu Yerusalemu kuyambira mbali ina mpaka mbali ina, kuphatikiza pa kuchimwitsa Yuda, kotero kuti anthu anachita zoyipa pamaso pa Yehova.

18 Manase akazorora namadzibaba ake akavigwa mubindu romumuzinda wake, bindu raUza. Uye Amoni mwanakomana wake akamutevera paumambo.
Manase anagona ndi makolo ake ndipo anayikidwa mʼmanda mʼmunda wa Uza, ku nyumba yaufumu. Ndipo Amoni mwana wake analowa ufumu mʼmalo mwake.
19 Amoni akanga ava namakore makumi maviri namaviri paakava mambo, uye akatonga muJerusarema kwamakore maviri. Zita ramai vake rainzi Meshuremeti mwanasikana waHaruzi; akanga achibva kuJotibha.

20 Akaita zvakaipa pamberi paJehovha, sezvakanga zvaita Manase baba vake.
Iye anachita zoyipa pamaso pa Yehova monga anachitira Manase abambo ake.
21 Akafamba munzira dzose dzababa vake; akanamata zvifananidzo zvakanga zvanamatwa nababa vake, akazvipfugamira.
Anatsatira makhalidwe onse a abambo ake. Ankapembedza mafano amene abambo akewo ankawapembedza ndipo ankawagwadira.
22 Akafuratira Jehovha, Mwari wamadzibaba ake, haana kufamba munzira yaJehovha.
Iyeyo anasiya Yehova Mulungu wa makolo ake ndipo sanayende mʼnjira ya Yehova.
23 Vabati vaAmoni vakamumukira vakauraya mambo mumuzinda wake.
