2 Mga Cronica 33
1 Si Manases ay may labing dalawang taon nang siya'y magpasimulang maghari; at siya'y nagharing limang pu't limang taon sa Jerusalem.
Manasseh was 12 years old when he became the king [of Judah], and he ruled from Jerusalem for 55 years.
2 At siya'y gumawa ng masama sa paningin ng Panginoon, ayon sa mga karumaldumal ng mga bansa, na pinalayas ng Panginoon sa harap ng mga anak ni Israel.
He did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil. He imitated the disgusting things that were formerly done by the people-groups that Yahweh had expelled from Israel as his people advanced [though the land].
3 Sapagka't kaniyang itinayo uli ang mga mataas na dako na iginiba ni Ezechias na kaniyang ama: at siya'y nagtayo ng mga dambana na ukol sa mga Baal, at gumawa ng mga Asera, at sumamba sa lahat ng natatanaw sa langit, at naglingkod sa mga yaon,
He commanded his workers to rebuild the shrines [for worshiping idols] that his father Hezekiah had destroyed. He told them to set up altars to [honor] the statues of Baal, and to make altars to [honor the goddess] Asherah. He bowed down to [worship] all the stars.
4 At siya'y nagtayo ng mga dambana sa bahay ng Panginoon, na pinagsabihan ng Panginoon, Sa Jerusalem ay malalagay ang aking pangalan magpakailan man.
He directed his workers to build altars [for foreign gods] in the temple, about which Yahweh had said, “It is here in Jerusalem that I want people to worship me, forever.”
5 At siya'y nagtayo ng mga dambana na ukol sa mga natatanaw sa langit sa dalawang looban ng bahay ng Panginoon.
He directed that altars for [worshiping] all the stars be built in both of the courtyards outside the temple.
6 Kaniya rin namang pinaraan ang kaniyang mga anak sa apoy sa libis ng anak ni Hinnom: at siya'y nagpamahiin, at nagsanay ng panggagaway at nanghula, at nakipagsanggunian sa mga masamang espiritu, at sa mga mahiko: siya'y gumawa ng maraming kasamaan sa paningin ng Panginoon, upang mungkahiin niya siya sa galit.
He even sacrificed [some of] his own sons and burned them in a fire in Hinnom Valley. He performed rituals to practice sorcery. He asked fortune-tellers for advice. He performed witchcraft. He talked to people who consulted the spirits of people who had died to find out what would happen in the future. He did many things that Yahweh considered o be very evil, things that caused Yahweh to become very angry.
7 At siya'y naglagay ng larawan ng diosdiosan na inanyuan, na kaniyang ginawa, sa bahay ng Dios na pinagsabihan ng Dios kay David, at kay Salomon na kaniyang anak, Sa bahay na ito, at sa Jerusalem na aking pinili sa lahat ng mga lipi ni Israel, aking ilalagay ang aking pangalan magpakailan man:
Manasseh took a carved idol [that his workers had made] and put it in the temple. That is the temple concerning which God had said to David and to his son Solomon, “My temple will be here in Jerusalem, the city that I have chosen [where I want people to] worship me, forever.
8 Ni babaguhin pa man ang paa ng Israel sa lupain na aking itinakda na ukol sa inyong mga magulang, kung kanila lamang isasagawa ang lahat na aking iniutos sa kanila, sa makatuwid baga'y ang buong kautusan at ang mga palatuntunan at ang mga ayos, sa pamamagitan ng kamay ni Moises.
If they will obey all the laws and decrees and regulations that I told Moses to give to them, I will not again force the Israeli people to leave this land that I gave to their ancestors.”
9 At iniligaw ni Manases ang Juda at ang mga taga Jerusalem, na anopa't sila'y nagsigawa ng higit na sama kay sa ginawa ng mga bansang nilipol ng Panginoon sa harap ng mga anak ni Israel.
But Manasseh led the people of Jerusalem and other places in Judah to do things that are wrong, with the result that they did more evil than was done by the people in the people-groups that Yahweh had expelled as the Israeli people advanced [through the land].
10 At ang Panginoon ay nagsalita kay Manases, at sa kaniyang bayan: nguni't niwalang bahala nila.
Yahweh spoke to Manasseh and the people of Judah, but they paid no attention.
11 Kaya't dinala ng Panginoon sa kanila ang mga punong kawal ng hukbo ng hari sa Asiria, na siyang nagdala kay Manases na may mga tanikala, at ginapos siya ng mga damal, at nagdala sa kaniya sa Babilonia.
So Yahweh caused the army commanders of Assyria [and their soldiers] to [come to Jerusalem, and they] captured Manasseh. They put a hook in his nose and put bronze chains on his [feet] and took him to Babylon.
12 At nang siya'y nasa pagkapighati siya'y dumalangin sa Panginoon niyang Dios, at nagpakumbabang mainam sa harap ng Dios ng kaniyang mga magulang.
There, while he was suffering, he humbled himself greatly in the presence of Yahweh, the God whom his ancestors [worshiped], and pleaded with Yahweh to help him.
13 At siya'y dumalangin sa kaniya; at siya'y dininig, at pinakinggan ang kaniyang pamanhik, at ibinalik siya sa Jerusalem sa kaniyang kaharian. Nang magkagayo'y nakilala ni Manases na ang Panginoon ay siyang Dios.
When he prayed, Yahweh heard him and pitied him. So he [allowed him to] return to Jerusalem and [to] rule his kingdom again. Then Manasseh realized that Yahweh is [an all-powerful] God.
14 Pagkatapos nga nito ay nagtayo siya ng isang kutang panglabas sa bayan ni David, sa dakong kalunuran ng Gihon, sa libis, hanggang sa pasukan sa pintuang-bayan ng mga isda; at kaniyang kinulong ang Ophel, at itinaas ng malaking kataasan: at kaniyang nilagyan ng mga matapang na pinunong kawal ang lahat ng bayan na nakukutaan sa Juda.
Later, Manasseh’s [workers] rebuilt the eastern section of the outer wall around Jerusalem, and [they] made it higher. That section extended from Gihon Spring [north] to the Fish Gate, and around the part of the city that they called Ophel [Hill]. Manasseh also appointed army officers to guard each of the cities in Judah that had walls around them.
15 At kaniyang inalis ang mga dios ng iba, at ang diosdiosan sa bahay ng Panginoon, at ang lahat na dambana na kaniyang itinayo sa bundok ng bahay ng Panginoon, at sa Jerusalem, at inihagis ang mga yaon mula sa bayan.
Manasseh’s [workers] removed from the temple the idols and the stone statues of gods of other nations. Manasseh also [told them to] remove the altars that they had previously built on Zion Hill and in [other places in] Jerusalem. He had all those things thrown out of the city.
16 At kaniyang itinayo ang dambana ng Panginoon, at naghandog doon ng mga hain na mga handog tungkol sa kapayapaan, at tungkol sa mga pasalamat, at inutusan ang Juda na maglingkod sa Panginoon, sa Dios ng Israel.
Then he [told them to] repair the altar of Yahweh, and he offered sacrifices to restore fellowship with Yahweh and to thank him. And he told [the people of] Judah that they must worship [only] Yahweh.
17 Gayon ma'y naghain ang bayan na nagpatuloy sa mga mataas na dako, nguni't sa Panginoon lamang na kanilang Dios.
The people continued to offer sacrifices on the hilltops, but only to Yahweh their God.
18 Ang iba nga sa mga gawa ni Manases, at ang kaniyang dalangin sa kaniyang Dios, at ang mga salita ng mga tagakita na nagsalita sa kaniya sa pangalan ng Panginoon, ng Dios ng Israel, narito, nangakasulat sa mga gawa ng mga hari sa Israel.
The other things that happened while Manasseh was ruling, including his prayer to God and the messages from Yahweh that the prophets gave to him, are written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
19 Gayon din ang kaniyang panalangin, at kung paanong dininig siya, at ang buo niyang kasalanan at pagsalangsang niya, at ang mga dakong kaniyang pinagtayuan ng mga mataas na dako, at pinagtindigan ng mga Asera at ng mga larawang inanyuan, bago siya nagpakumbaba: narito, nangakasulat sa kasaysayan ni Hozai.
What Manasseh prayed and how God pitied him because he pleaded to God, and also his sins and ways in which he disobeyed God, and the [list of] places where he built shrines and set up poles to [honor the goddess] Asherah and other idols [before he humbled himself], are written in what the prophets wrote.
20 Sa gayo'y natulog si Manases na kasama ng kaniyang mga magulang, at inilibing nila siya sa kaniyang sariling bahay: at si Amon na kaniyang anak ay naghari na kahalili niya.
Manasseh died and was buried in his palace. Then his son Amon became the king [of Judah].
21 Si Amon ay may dalawang pu't dalawang taon nang siya'y magpasimulang maghari; at siya'y nagharing dalawang taon sa Jerusalem.
Amon was 22 years old when he became king, and he ruled in Jerusalem for two years.
22 At siya'y gumawa ng masama sa paningin ng Panginoon, gaya ng ginawa ni Manases na kaniyang ama: at si Amon ay naghain sa lahat ng larawang inanyuan na ginawa ni Manases na kaniyang ama, at naglingkod sa mga yaon.
He did things that Yahweh considered to be evil, like his father Manasseh had done. Amon worshiped all the idols that Manasseh’s [workers] had made.
23 At siya'y hindi nagpakumbaba sa harap ng Panginoon, na gaya na pagpapakumbaba ni Manases na kaniyang ama: kundi ang Amon ding ito ay siyang sumalangsang ng higit at higit.
But he did not humble himself and turn to Yahweh like his father did. So he became more sinful than his father had been.
24 At ang kaniyang mga lingkod ay naghimagsik laban sa kaniya, at pinatay siya sa kaniyang sariling bahay.
Then Amon’s officials made plans to kill him. They assassinated him in his palace.
25 Nguni't pinatay ng bayan ng lupain ang lahat na nagsipanghimagsik laban sa haring Amon; at ginawang hari ng bayan ng lupain si Josias na kaniyang anak na kahalili niya.
But then the people of Judah killed all those who had assassinated Amon, and they appointed his son Josiah to be their king.
