2 Madzimambo 21
1 Manase akanga ava namakore gumi namaviri paakava mambo, uye akatonga muJerusarema kwamakore makumi mashanu namashanu. Zita ramai vake rainzi Hefizibha.
Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Hephzibah.
2 Akaita zvakaipa pamberi paJehovha, achitevera zvinonyangadza zvendudzi dzakadzingwa pamberi pavaIsraeri naJehovha.
He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, after the abominations of the nations whom the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.
3 Akavakazve matunhu akakwirira akanga aparadzwa nababa vake Hezekia; uye akavaka aritari dzaBhaari akaita danda raAshera, sezvakanga zvaitwa naAhabhu mambo weIsraeri. Akapfugamira nyeredzi dzose dzedenga akadzinamata.
For he built again the high places which Hezekiah his father had destroyed; and he raised up altars for Baal, and made an Asherah, as Ahab king of Israel did, and worshiped all the army of the sky, and served them.
4 Akavaka aritari mutemberi yaJehovha, makanga manzi naJehovha, “Ndichaisa zita rangu muJerusarema.”
He built altars in the LORD’s house, of which the LORD said, “I will put my name in Jerusalem.”
5 Muzvivanze zvose zviri zviviri zvetemberi yaJehovha, akavakira nyeredzi dzose dzokudenga aritari.
He built altars for all the army of the sky in the two courts of the LORD’s house.
6 Akabayira mwanakomana wake mumoto, akaita uroyi nokuvuka, akabvunza masvikiro navavuki. Akaita zvakaipa zvakawanda pamberi paJehovha, akamutsa hasha dzake.
He made his son to pass through the fire, practiced sorcery, used enchantments, and dealt with those who had familiar spirits and with wizards. He did much evil in the LORD’s sight, to provoke him to anger.
7 Akatora mufananidzo waAshera wakavezwa waakanga aita akauisa mutemberi, yakanga yanzi naJehovha kuna Dhavhidhi nokumwanakomana wake Soromoni, “Mutemberi iyi nomuJerusarema, mandakasarudza pakati pamarudzi ose aIsraeri, ndichaisamo Zita rangu nokusingaperi.
He set the engraved image of Asherah that he had made in the house of which the LORD 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, I will put my name forever;
8 Handichaitizve kuti tsoka dzavaIsraeri dzidzungaire kubva munyika yandakapa madzitateguru avo, kana vakangochenjera chete kuita zvose zvandakavarayira uye vakachengeta Murayiro wose wavakapiwa nomuranda wangu Mozisi.”
I will not cause the feet of Israel to wander any more out of the land which I gave their fathers, if only they will observe to do according to all that I have commanded them, and according to all the law that my servant Moses commanded them.”
9 Asi vanhu havana kuteerera. Manase akavatsausa, zvokuti vakanyanya kuita zvakaipa kupfuura dzimwe ndudzi dzakaparadzwa pamberi pavaIsraeri naJehovha.
But they did not listen, and Manasseh seduced them to do that which is evil more than the nations did whom the LORD destroyed before the children of Israel.
10 Jehovha akataura kubudikidza navaranda vake ivo vaprofita akati,
The LORD spoke by his servants the prophets, saying,
11 “Manase mambo weJudha aita zvivi zvinonyangadza izvi. Aita zvakaipa zvakawanda kupfuura vaAmori vakamutangira uye atungamirira Judha muzvivi nezvifananidzo zvake.
“Because Manasseh king of Judah has done these abominations, and has done wickedly above all that the Amorites did, who were before him, and has also made Judah to sin with his idols;
12 Naizvozvo zvanzi naJehovha, Mwari waIsraeri: Ndichauyisa dambudziko pamusoro peJerusarema neJudha zvokuti nzeve dzomumwe nomumwe achanzwa nezvazvo dzichaunga.
therefore the LORD the God of Israel says, ‘Behold, I will bring such evil on Jerusalem and Judah that whoever hears of it, both his ears will tingle.
13 Ndichatambanudzira kuJerusarema tambo yokuyeresa yandakayera nayo Samaria nerwodzi rwandakashandisa kuyera narwo imba yaAhabhu. Ndichapukuta Jerusarema somunhu anonopukuta ndiro, anoipukuta uye agoitsindikira.
I will stretch over Jerusalem the line of Samaria, and the plumb line of Ahab’s house; and I will wipe Jerusalem as a man wipes a dish, wiping it and turning it upside down.
14 Ndichafuratira vakasara venhaka yangu uye ndichavapa kuvavengi vavo. Vachabirwa uye vachapambwa navavengi vavo,
I will cast off the remnant of my inheritance and deliver them into the hands of their enemies. They will become a prey and a plunder to all their enemies,
15 nokuti vakaita zvakaipa pamberi pangu vakanditsamwisa kubva pazuva rakabuda madzitateguru avo kubva muIjipiti kusvikira zuva ranhasi.”
because they have done that which is evil in my sight, and have provoked me to anger since the day their fathers came out of Egypt, even to this day.’”
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.
Moreover Manasseh shed innocent blood very much, until he had filled Jerusalem from one end to another; in addition to his sin with which he made Judah to sin, in doing that which was evil in the LORD’s sight.
17 Kana zviri zvimwe zvakaitika panguva yokutonga kwaManase, nezvose zvaakaita, pamwe chete nechivi chaakaita, hazvina kunyorwa here mubhuku renhoroondo dzamadzimambo eJudha?
Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and all that he did, and his sin that he sinned, are not they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
18 Manase akazorora namadzibaba ake akavigwa mubindu romumuzinda wake, bindu raUza. Uye Amoni mwanakomana wake akamutevera paumambo.
Manasseh slept with his fathers, and was buried in the garden of his own house, in the garden of Uzza; and Amon his son reigned in his place.
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.
Amon was twenty-two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned two years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Meshullemeth the daughter of Haruz of Jotbah.
20 Akaita zvakaipa pamberi paJehovha, sezvakanga zvaita Manase baba vake.
He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, as Manasseh his father did.
21 Akafamba munzira dzose dzababa vake; akanamata zvifananidzo zvakanga zvanamatwa nababa vake, akazvipfugamira.
He walked in all the ways that his father walked in, and served the idols that his father served, and worshiped them;
22 Akafuratira Jehovha, Mwari wamadzibaba ake, haana kufamba munzira yaJehovha.
and he abandoned the LORD, the God of his fathers, and did not walk in the way of the LORD.
23 Vabati vaAmoni vakamumukira vakauraya mambo mumuzinda wake.
The servants of Amon conspired against him, and put the king to death in his own house.
24 Ipapo vanhu venyika vakauraya vose vakanga vamukira Mambo Amoni, vakagadza mwanakomana wake Josia kuti ave mambo panzvimbo yake.
But the people of the land killed all those who had conspired against King Amon; and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his place.
25 Kana zviri zvimwe zvakaitika panguva yokutonga kwaAmoni, nezvaakaita, hazvina kunyorwa here mubhuku renhoroondo dzamadzimambo eJudha?
Now the rest of the acts of Amon which he did, are not they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
26 Akavigwa muguva rake mubindu raUza. Josia mwanakomana wake akamutevera paumambo.
He was buried in his tomb in the garden of Uzza, and Josiah his son reigned in his place.
