2 Reyes 21
1 Manasés tenía 12 años cuando comenzó a reinar, y reinó 55 años en Jerusalén. El nombre de su madre fue Hepsiba.
Manasseh was twelve years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for fifty-five years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Hephzibah.
2 Hizo lo malo ante Yavé, según las repugnancias de las naciones que Yavé expulsó de delante de los hijos de Israel,
And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, in accord with the idols of the nations that the Lord destroyed before the face of the sons of Israel.
3 porque volvió a edificar los lugares altos que su padre Ezequías destruyó, y erigió altares a baal. Hizo una Asera, tal como hizo Acab, rey de Israel. Se postró ante todo el ejército del cielo y les rindió culto.
And he turned away. And he built up the high places that his father, Hezekiah, had destroyed. And he erected altars to Baal, and he made sacred groves, just as Ahab, the king of Israel, had done. And he adored the entire army of heaven, and he served them.
4 Construyó altares en la Casa de Yavé, de la cual Yavé dijo: En Jerusalén pondré mi Nombre.
And he constructed altars in the house of the Lord, about which the Lord said: “In Jerusalem, I will place my name.”
5 Levantó altares para todo el ejército del cielo en los dos patios del Templo de Yavé,
And he constructed altars, for the entire army of heaven, within the two courts of the temple of the Lord.
6 hizo pasar por fuego a su hijo, practicó la brujería y la magia, designó adivinadores por medio de espíritus de muertos y se empeñó en hacer lo malo ante Yavé para provocarlo a ira.
And he led his son through fire. And he used divinations, and observed omens, and appointed soothsayers, and multiplied diviners, so that he did evil before the Lord, and provoked him.
7 Puso la imagen tallada de Asera que él hizo en la Casa. Yavé dijo a David y a su hijo Salomón acerca de esta Casa: Pondré mi Nombre para siempre en esta Casa y en Jerusalén, la cual escogí de entre todas las tribus de Israel.
Also, he set up an idol, of the sacred grove that he had made, in the temple of the Lord, about which the Lord said to David, and to his son Solomon: “In this temple, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, I will place my name forever.
8 No volveré a desplazar los pies de Israel de la tierra que di a sus antepasados, con tal que observen todo lo que les ordené, según toda la Ley que mi esclavo Moisés les ordenó.
And I will no longer cause the feet of Israel to be moved from the land that I gave to their fathers: if only they will take care to do all that I have instructed them, and the entire law that my servant Moses commanded to them.”
9 Pero no escucharon, pues Manasés los indujo a hacer el mal, más que las otras naciones que Yavé destruyó delante de los hijos de Israel.
Yet truly, they did not listen. Instead, they were seduced by Manasseh, so that they did evil, more so than the nations that the Lord crushed before the face of the sons of Israel.
10 Entonces Yavé habló por medio de sus esclavos profetas:
And so the Lord spoke, by the hand of his servants, the prophets, saying:
11 Por cuanto Manasés, rey de Judá, hizo estas repugnancias, produjo más mal que todo el que practicaron los amorreos que lo precedieron y estimuló a pecar a Judá con sus ídolos,
“Since Manasseh, the king of Judah, has committed these wicked abominations, beyond all that the Amorites before him have done, and also has caused Judah to sin by his defilements,
12 por tanto, Yavé ʼElohim de Israel dijo: Ciertamente Yo traigo tal mal sobre Jerusalén y sobre Judá, que al que lo oiga le vibrarán ambos oídos.
because of this, thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Behold, I will lead evils over Jerusalem and over Judah, such that, whoever will hear of these things, both his ears will ring.
13 Extenderé sobre Jerusalén el cordel de Samaria y la plomada de la casa de Acab. Escurriré a Jerusalén como se escurre un plato, que se escurre y se voltea boca abajo.
And I will extend the measuring line of Samaria over Jerusalem, with the scale of the house of Ahab. And I will erase Jerusalem, just as writing tablets are usually erased. And after erasing, I will turn it and repeatedly drag a stylus over its surface.
14 Desampararé el resto de mi heredad y la entregaré en mano de sus enemigos. Serán presa y despojo para todos sus adversarios,
And truly, I will send away the remnants of my inheritance, and I will deliver them into the hands of their enemies. And they will be devastated and plundered by all their adversaries.
15 porque hicieron lo malo delante de Mí y me provocaron a ira desde el día cuando sus antepasados salieron de Egipto hasta hoy.
For they have done evil before me, and they have persevered in provoking me, from the day when their fathers departed from Egypt, even to this day.
16 También Manasés derramó mucha sangre inocente, hasta llenar de ella a Jerusalén de un extremo a otro, además de su pecado con el cual estimuló a pecar a Judá para que hiciera lo malo ante Yavé.
Moreover, Manasseh also has shed an exceedingly great amount of innocent blood, until he filled Jerusalem even to the mouth, aside from his sins by which he caused Judah to sin, so that they did evil before the Lord.”
17 Todo lo que hizo Manasés y todo su pecado, ¿no están escritos en el rollo de las Crónicas de los reyes de Judá?
Now the rest of the words of Manasseh, and all that he did, and his sin that he sinned, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah?
18 Manasés reposó con sus antepasados, y fue sepultado en el jardín de Uza que era el de su casa. Reinó en su lugar su hijo Amón.
And Manasseh slept with his fathers, and he was buried in the garden of his own house, in the garden of Uzza. And Amon, his son, reigned in his place.
19 Amón tenía 22 años cuando comenzó a reinar, y reinó dos años en Jerusalén. El nombre de su madre fue Mesulemet, hija de Haruz de Jotba.
Amon was twenty-two years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for two years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Meshullemeth, the daughter of Haruz, from Jotbah.
20 Hizo lo malo ante Yavé, como hizo su padre Manasés.
And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, just as his father, Manasseh, had done.
21 Anduvo en todos los caminos en los cuales estuvo su padre. Sirvió y adoró a los ídolos de su padre.
And he walked in all the ways in which his father had walked. And he served the unclean things that his father had served, and he adored them.
22 Abandonó a Yavé, el ʼElohim de sus antepasados y no anduvo en el camino de Yavé.
And he abandoned the Lord, the God of his fathers, and he did not walk in the way of the Lord.
23 Los esclavos de Amón conspiraron contra él, y lo mataron en su casa.
And his servants undertook treachery against him. And they killed the king in his own house.
24 Pero el pueblo de la tierra mató a todos los que conspiraron contra el rey Amón, y el pueblo de la tierra proclamó a su hijo Josías como rey en su lugar.
But the people of the land slew all those who had conspired against king Amon. And they appointed for themselves Josiah, his son, as king in his place.
25 Los demás hechos de Amón, ¿no están escritos en el rollo de las Crónicas de los reyes de Judá?
But the rest of the words of Amon, which he did, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah?
26 Fue sepultado en su sepulcro en el huerto de Uza, y su hijo Josías reinó en su lugar.
And they buried him in his sepulcher, in the garden of Uzza. And his son, Josiah, reigned in his place.
