2 Kroniška 33
1 Manáse je bil star dvanajst let, ko je začel kraljevati in v Jeruzalemu je kraljeval petinpetdeset let,
Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign; he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem.
2 toda počel je to, kar je bilo zlo v Gospodovih očeh, podobno ogabnostim poganov, ki jih je Gospod pregnal pred Izraelovimi otroki.
He did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh, like the disgusting things of the nations whom Yahweh had driven out before the people of Israel.
3 Kajti ponovno je zgradil visoke kraje, ki jih je njegov oče Ezekíja porušil, vzdignil Báalove oltarje, naredil ašere in oboževal vso vojsko neba ter jim služil.
For he rebuilt the high places that his father Hezekiah had torn down, and he built altars for the Baals, he made Asherah poles, and he bowed down to all the stars of heaven and worshiped them.
4 Prav tako je zgradil oltarje v Gospodovi hiši, o kateri je Gospod rekel: »V Jeruzalemu bo moje ime na veke.«
Manasseh built altars in the house of Yahweh, although Yahweh had commanded, “It is in Jerusalem that my name will be forever.”
5 Zgradil je oltarje za vso vojsko neba v dveh dvorih Gospodove hiše.
He built altars for all the stars of heaven in the two courtyards of the house of Yahweh.
6 Svoje otroke je izročil, da gredo skozi ogenj v dolini sina Hinómovega. Obeleževal je tudi čase, uporabljal izrekanje urokov, uporabljal čarovništvo in postopal z osebnim duhom in s čarovniki. Storil je mnogo zla v Gospodovih očeh, da ga izziva do jeze.
In the Valley of Ben Hinnom he caused his sons to pass through the fire. He practiced sorcery, divination and he read omens, and he consulted with those who talked with the dead and with those who talked with spirits. Manasseh did much evil in the sight of Yahweh, and he provoked him to anger.
7 Postavil je izrezljano podobo, malika, ki ga je naredil v Božji hiši, o kateri je Bog rekel Davidu in njegovemu sinu Salomonu: »V tej hiši, v Jeruzalemu, ki sem jo izbral pred vsemi Izraelovimi rodovi, bom svoje ime postavil na veke.
The carved figure he had made, he placed it in the house of God. It was about this house that God had spoken to David and Solomon his son; he had said, “It is in this house and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen from all the tribes of Israel, that I will put my name forever.
8 Niti ne bom več odstranil Izraelovega stopala iz dežele, ki sem jo določil za vaše očete, tako da bodo pazili, da storijo vse, kar sem jim zapovedal, glede na celotno postavo, zakone in odredbe po Mojzesovi roki.
I will not move the people of Israel any more out of the land that I assigned to their ancestors, if they will only be careful to keep all that I have commanded them, following all the law, statutes, and decrees which I gave them through Moses.”
9 Tako je Manáse storil Judu in prebivalcem Jeruzalema, da zaidejo in da počnejo huje kakor pogani, ki jih je Gospod uničil pred Izraelovimi otroki.
Manasseh led Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to do evil even more than the nations that Yahweh had destroyed before the people of Israel.
10 Gospod je spregovoril Manáseju in njegovemu ljudstvu, toda niso hoteli prisluhniti.
Yahweh spoke to Manasseh, and to his people, but they paid no attention.
11 Zato je Gospod nadnje privedel poveljnike vojske asirskega kralja, ki so Manáseja zajeli med trnjem in ga zvezali z okovi ter ga odvedli v Babilon.
So Yahweh brought on them the commanders of the army of the king of Assyria, who took Manasseh in chains, bound him with fetters, and took him off to Babylon.
12 Ko je bil v stiski, je iskal Gospoda, svojega Boga in se silno ponižal pred Bogom svojih očetov
When Manasseh was in distress, he implored Yahweh, his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his ancestors.
13 in molil k njemu in izprošen je bil od njega in slišal je njegovo ponižno prošnjo in ga ponovno privedel k Jeruzalemu, v njegovo kraljestvo. Potem je Manáse spoznal, da je bil Gospod Bog.
He prayed to him; and God was begged by him, and God heard his begging and brought him back to Jerusalem, into his kingship. Then Manasseh knew that Yahweh was God.
14 Torej po tem je zgradil zid zunaj Davidovega mesta, na zahodni strani Gihona, v dolini, celo pri vhodu velikih ribjih vrat in obdal Ofel ter ga dvignil na zelo veliko višino in vojne poveljnike postavil v vsa utrjena Judova mesta.
After this, Manasseh built an outer wall to the city of David, on the west side of Gihon, in the valley, to the entrance at the Fish Gate. He surrounded the hill of Ophel with it and raised the wall up to a very great height. He put courageous commanders in all the fortified cities of Judah.
15 Odstranil je tuje bogove in malike iz Gospodove hiše in vse oltarje, ki jih je zgradil na gori Gospodove hiše in v Jeruzalemu ter jih vrgel iz mesta.
He took away the foreign gods, the idol out of the house of Yahweh, and all the altars that he had built on the mount of the house of Yahweh and in Jerusalem, and threw them out of the city.
16 Popravil je Gospodov oltar in na njem žrtvoval mirovne daritve in zahvalne daritve in Judu zapovedal, da služi Gospodu, Izraelovemu Bogu.
He rebuilt the altar of Yahweh and offered on it sacrifices of fellowship offerings and thank offerings; he commanded Judah to serve Yahweh, the God of Israel.
17 Kljub temu je ljudstvo še vedno darovalo na visokih krajih, vendar samo Gospodu, svojemu Bogu.
However, the people still sacrificed at the high places, but only to Yahweh, their God.
18 Torej preostala izmed Manásejevih dejanj, njegova molitev k njegovemu Bogu in besede vidcev, ki so mu govorili v imenu Gospoda, Izraelovega Boga, glej, ta so zapisana v knjigi Izraelovih kraljev.
As to the other matters concerning Manasseh, his prayer to his God, and the words of the seers who spoke to him in the name of Yahweh, the God of Israel, behold, they are written among the deeds of the kings of Israel.
19 Tudi njegova molitev in kako je bil Bog izprošen od njega, ves njegov greh, njegov prekršek in kraji, na katerih si je zgradil visoke kraje ter postavil ašere in rezane podobe, preden je bil ponižan. Glej, ta so zapisana med izreki vidcev.
In that account there is history of his prayer, and how God was moved by it. There is also an account of all his sin and his trespasses, and the places where he had built high places and set up the Asherah poles and the carved figures, before he humbled himself—they are written about in the Chronicles of the Seers.
20 Tako je Manáse zaspal s svojimi očeti in pokopali so ga v njegovi lastni hiši. Namesto njega je zakraljeval njegov sin Amón.
So Manasseh slept with his ancestors, and they buried him in his own house. Amon, his son, became king in his place.
21 Amón je bil star dvaindvajset let, ko je začel kraljevati in v Jeruzalemu je kraljeval dve leti.
Amon was twenty-two years old when he began to reign; he reigned two years in Jerusalem.
22 Toda počel je to, kar je bilo zlo v Gospodovih očeh, kakor je počel njegov oče Manáse, kajti Amón je žrtvoval vsem izrezljanim podobam, ki jih je naredil njegov oče Manáse in jim služil.
He did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh, as Manasseh, his father, had done. Amon sacrificed to all the carved figures that Manasseh his father had made, and he worshiped them.
23 Ni se ponižal pred Gospodom, kakor se je ponižal njegov oče Manáse, temveč je Amón bolj in bolj grešil.
He did not humble himself before Yahweh, as Manasseh his father had done. Instead, this same Amon trespassed more and more.
24 In njegovi služabniki so se zarotili zoper njega in ga usmrtili v njegovi lastni hiši.
His servants conspired against him and put him to death in his own house.
25 Toda ljudstvo dežele je usmrtilo vse tiste, ki so se zarotili zoper kralja Amóna in ljudstvo dežele je postavilo njegovega sina Jošíja za kralja namesto njega.
But the people of the land killed all those who had conspired against King Amon, and they made Josiah, his son, king in his place.
