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 began to reign; he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem. 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.
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 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 Hezekiah his father had destroyed, and he built altars for Baal, made an Asherah pole, as Ahab king of Israel had done, and he bowed down to all the stars of heaven and worshiped them.
4 Zgradil je oltarje v Gospodovi hiši, o kateri je Gospod rekel: »V Jeruzalemu bom postavil svoje ime.«
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 na dveh dvorih Gospodove hiše.
He built altars for all the stars of heaven in the two courtyards of the house of Yahweh.
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 caused his son to pass through the fire, he performed sorcery and divination and consulted with those who talked with the dead and with those who talked with spirits. He did much evil in the sight of Yahweh, 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.
The carved figure of Asherah that he had made, he placed it in the house of Yahweh. It was about this house that Yahweh 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 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 not cause the feet of Israel to wander any more out of the land that I gave to their ancestors, if they will only be careful to obey all that I have commanded them, and to follow all the 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 to do evil even more than the nations that Yahweh had destroyed before the people of Israel.
10 Gospod je govoril po svojih služabnikih prerokih, rekoč:
So Yahweh spoke by 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;
“Because Manasseh king of Judah has done these disgusting things, and has acted wickedly more than all that the Amorites who were before him did, and has also made Judah sin with his idols,
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.
therefore Yahweh, the God of Israel, says this: Look, I am about to bring such evil on Jerusalem and Judah that whoever hears of it, both his ears will tingle.
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 over Jerusalem the measuring line used against Samaria, and the plumb line used against the house of Ahab; I will wipe Jerusalem clean, as a man wipes a dish, 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,
I will throw off the remnant of my inheritance and give them into the hand of their enemies. They will become victims and plunder for 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 what is evil in my sight, and have provoked me to anger, since the day their ancestors came out of Egypt, to 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 much innocent blood, until he had filled Jerusalem from one end to another with death. This was in addition to the sin by which he made Judah to sin, when they did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh.
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 other matters concerning Manasseh, all that he did, and the sin that he committed, are they not written in the book of the events 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.
Manasseh slept with his ancestors and was buried in the garden of his own house, in the garden of Uzza. Amon his son became king 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 began to reign; he reigned two years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Meshullemeth; she was the daughter of Haruz of Jotbah.
20 Počel je to, kar je bilo zlo v Gospodovih očeh, kakor je počel njegov oče Manáse.
He did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh, as Manasseh his father 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
Amon followed in all the way that his father had walked in and worshiped the idols that his father worshiped, and bowed down to them.
22 ter zapustil Gospoda, Boga svojih očetov in ni hodil po Gospodovi poti.
He abandoned Yahweh, the God of his fathers, and did not walk in the way of Yahweh.
23 Amónovi služabniki so se zarotili zoper njega in kralja usmrtili v njegovi lastni hiši.
The servants of Amon conspired against him and put the king to death in his own house.
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 Josiah his son king in his place.
25 Torej preostala izmed Amónovih dejanj, ki jih storil, mar niso zapisana v kroniški knjigi Judovih kraljev?
As for the other matters concerning Amon that he did, are they not written in the book of the events of the kings of Judah?
26 Pokopan je bil v svojem mavzoleju v Uzájevem vrtu in namesto njega je zakraljeval njegov sin Jošíja.
The people buried him in his tomb in the garden of Uzza, and Josiah his son became king in his place.
