2 Kralji 21
1 Manáse je bil star dvanajst let, ko je začel kraljevati in v Jeruzalemu je kraljeval petinpetdeset let. Ime njegove matere je bilo Hefcí Bah.
Manasseh was twelve years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem fifty-five years. His mother’s name was Hephzibah.
2 Počel je to, kar je bilo zlo v Gospodovih očeh, po ogabnostih poganov, ki jih je Gospod pregnal pred Izraelovimi otroki.
And he did evil in the sight of the LORD by following the abominations of the nations that the LORD had driven out before the Israelites.
3 Kajti ponovno je zgradil visoke kraje, ki jih je njegov oče Ezekíja uničil, vzdignil oltarje za Báala in naredil ašero, kakor je storil Izraelov kralj Aháb, in oboževal vso vojsko neba in jim služil.
For he rebuilt the high places that his father Hezekiah had destroyed, and he raised up altars for Baal. He made an Asherah pole, as King Ahab of Israel had done, and he worshiped and served all the host of heaven.
4 Zgradil je oltarje v Gospodovi hiši, o kateri je Gospod rekel: »V Jeruzalemu bom postavil svoje ime.«
Manasseh also built altars in the house of the LORD, of which the LORD had said, “In Jerusalem I will put My Name.”
5 Zgradil je oltarje za vso vojsko neba na dveh dvorih Gospodove hiše.
In both courtyards of the house of the LORD, he built altars to all the host of heaven.
6 Svojega sina je primoral iti skozi ogenj, obeleževal čase, uporabljal izrekanje urokov, postopal z osebnimi duhovi in čarovniki. Počel je mnogo zlobnosti v Gospodovih očeh, da ga je izzival do jeze.
He sacrificed his own son in the fire, practiced sorcery and divination, and consulted mediums and spiritists. He did great evil in the sight of the LORD, provoking Him to anger.
7 Postavil je rezano podobo ašere, ki jo je naredil v hiši, o kateri je Gospod rekel Davidu in njegovemu sinu Salomonu: »V tej hiši in v Jeruzalemu, ki sem ga izbral izmed vseh Izraelovih rodov, bom svoje ime postavil na veke.
Manasseh even took the carved Asherah pole he had made and set it up in the temple, of which the LORD had said to David and his son Solomon, “In this temple and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, I will establish My Name forever.
8 Niti ne bom več storil, da se stopala Izraela premaknejo iz dežele, ki sem jo dal njihovim očetom, samo če bodo obeleževali, da storijo glede na vse, kar sem jim zapovedal in glede na vso postavo, ki jim jo je zapovedal moj služabnik Mojzes.«
I will never again cause the feet of the Israelites to wander from the land that I gave to their fathers, if only they are careful to do all I have commanded them—the whole Law that My servant Moses commanded them.”
9 Vendar niso prisluhnili in Manáse jih je zapeljal, da so storili več zla, kakor so ga storili narodi, ki jih je Gospod uničil pred Izraelovimi otroki.
But the people did not listen and Manasseh led them astray, so that they did greater evil than the nations that the LORD had destroyed before the Israelites.
10 Gospod je govoril po svojih služabnikih prerokih, rekoč:
And the LORD spoke through His servants the prophets, saying,
11 »Ker je Judov kralj Manáse storil te ogabnosti in je zlobno počel, nad vsem, kar so počeli Amoréjci, ki so bili pred njim, in tudi Juda je pripravil, da greši z njegovimi maliki;
“Since Manasseh king of Judah has committed all these abominations, acting more wickedly than the Amorites who preceded him, and with his idols has caused Judah to sin,
12 zato tako govori Gospod, Izraelov Bog: ›Glej, nad Jeruzalem in Juda prinašam takšno zlo, da kdorkoli bo slišal o tem, mu bo zvenelo [v] obeh njegovih ušesih.
this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘Behold, I am bringing such calamity upon Jerusalem and Judah that the news will reverberate in the ears of all who hear it.
13 Nad Jeruzalemom bom iztegnil vrvico Samarije in grezilo Ahábove hiše. Jeruzalem bom izbrisal, kakor človek obriše posodo, obriše jo in jo obrne narobe.
I will stretch out over Jerusalem the measuring line used against Samaria and the plumb line used against the house of Ahab, and I will wipe out Jerusalem as one wipes out a bowl—wiping it and turning it upside down.
14 Zapustil bom ostanek svoje dediščine, izročil jih bom v roko njihovih sovražnikov. Postali bodo plen in ukradeno blago vsem svojim sovražnikom,
So I will forsake the remnant of My inheritance and deliver them into the hands of their enemies. And they will become plunder and spoil to all their enemies,
15 ker so počeli to, kar je bilo zlo v mojem pogledu in izzivali so me do jeze od dne, ko so njihovi očetje prišli iz Egipta, celo do tega dne.‹«
because they have done evil in My sight and have provoked Me to anger from the day their fathers came out of Egypt until this day.’”
16 Poleg tega je Manáse prelil veliko nedolžne krvi, dokler ni Jeruzalema napolnil od enega konca do drugega, poleg njegovega greha, s katerim je Judu storil, da je grešil s početjem tega, kar je bilo zlo v Gospodovih očeh.
Moreover, Manasseh shed so much innocent blood that he filled Jerusalem from end to end, in addition to the sin that he had caused Judah to commit, doing evil in the sight of the LORD.
17 Torej preostala izmed Manásejevih dejanj in vse, kar je storil in njegov greh, ki ga je zagrešil, mar niso zapisana v kroniški knjigi Judovih kraljev?
As for the rest of the acts of Manasseh, along with all his accomplishments and the sin that he committed, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
18 Manáse je zaspal s svojimi očeti in pokopan je bil na vrtu svoje lastne hiše, na Uzájevem vrtu. Namesto njega je zakraljeval njegov sin Amón.
And Manasseh rested with his fathers and was buried in his palace garden, the garden of Uzza. And his son Amon reigned in his place.
19 Amón je bil star dvaindvajset let, ko je začel kraljevati in v Jeruzalemu je kraljeval dve leti. Ime njegove matere je bilo Mešulémeta, hči Harúca iz Jotbe.
Amon was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem two years. His mother’s name was Meshullemeth daughter of Haruz; she was from Jotbah.
20 Počel je to, kar je bilo zlo v Gospodovih očeh, kakor je počel njegov oče Manáse.
And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, as his father Manasseh had done.
21 Hodil je po vsej poti, po kateri je hodil njegov oče, služil malikom, ki jim je služil njegov oče in jih oboževal
He walked in all the ways of his father, and he served and worshiped the idols his father had served.
22 ter zapustil Gospoda, Boga svojih očetov in ni hodil po Gospodovi poti.
He abandoned the LORD, the God of his fathers, and did not walk in the way of the LORD.
23 Amónovi služabniki so se zarotili zoper njega in kralja usmrtili v njegovi lastni hiši.
Then the servants of Amon conspired against him and killed the king in his palace.
24 Ljudstvo dežele je usmrtilo vse tiste, ki so se zarotili zoper kralja Amóna in ljudstvo dežele je namesto njega postavilo za kralja njegovega sina Jošíja.
But the people of the land killed all those who had conspired against King Amon, and they made his son Josiah king in his place.
25 Torej preostala izmed Amónovih dejanj, ki jih storil, mar niso zapisana v kroniški knjigi Judovih kraljev?
As for the rest of the acts of Amon, along with his accomplishments, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
26 Pokopan je bil v svojem mavzoleju v Uzájevem vrtu in namesto njega je zakraljeval njegov sin Jošíja.
And he was buried in his tomb in the garden of Uzza, and his son Josiah reigned in his place.
