2 Mga Hari 21
1 Si Manases ay may labing dalawang taon nang magpasimulang maghari; at siya'y nagharing limangpu't limang taon sa Jerusalem: at ang pangalan ng kaniyang ina ay Hepsi-ba.
Manasseh was twelve when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for fifty-five years. His mother's name was Hephzibah.
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 what was evil in the Lord's sight by following the disgusting pagan practices of the nations that the Lord had driven out before the Israelites.
3 Sapagka't kaniyang itinayo uli ang mga mataas na dako na iginiba ni Ezechias na kaniyang ama; at kaniyang ipinagtayo ng mga dambana si Baal, at gumawa ng Asera, gaya ng ginawa ni Achab na hari sa Israel, at sumamba sa lahat ng natatanaw sa langit, at naglingkod sa kanila.
He rebuilt the high places his father Hezekiah had destroyed, and he erected altars for Baal. He made an Asherah idol pole, just as Ahab, king of Israel, had done, and he worshiped and served the sun, moon, and stars.
4 At siya'y nagtayo ng mga dambana sa bahay ng Panginoon, na pinagsabihan ng Panginoon, Sa Jerusalem ay ilalagay ko ang aking pangalan.
He set up pagan altars in the Lord's Temple, right where the Lord had said, “I will place my name in Jerusalem forever.”
5 At kaniyang ipinagtayo ng mga dambana ang lahat na natatanaw sa langit sa dalawang looban ng bahay ng Panginoon.
He set up altars to worship the sun, moon, and stars in the two courtyards of the Lord's Temple.
6 At kaniyang pinaraan ang kaniyang anak sa apoy, at nagpamahiin, at nagsanay ng panghuhula, at nakipagsanggunian sa masamang espiritu, at sa mga mahiko: siya'y gumawa ng maraming kasamaan sa paningin ng Panginoon, upang mungkahiin niya siya sa galit.
He even he sacrificed his own son as a burnt offering, and used fortune-telling and witchcraft, and he dealt with mediums and with spiritists. He did a great deal of evil in the Lord's sight, making the Lord angry.
7 At siya'y naglagay ng larawang inanyuan na Asera, na kaniyang ginawa, sa bahay na pinagsabihan ng Panginoon kay David, at kay Salomon na kaniyang anak, Sa bahay na ito, at sa Jerusalem, na aking pinili sa lahat na lipi ng Israel, aking ilalagay ang aking pangalan magpakailan man.
He took the Asherah idol pole he had made and placed in the Temple. This was the place referred to by the Lord when he told David and Solomon, his son, “In this Temple and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen from all the tribes of Israel, I will place my name forever.
8 At hindi ko na pagagalain pa ang mga paa ng Israel sa labas ng lupain na aking ibinigay sa kanilang mga magulang, kung kanila lamang tutuparing gawin ang ayon sa lahat na aking iniutos sa kanila, at ayon sa buong kautusan na iniutos sa kanila ng aking lingkod na si Moises.
I will never again make the Israelites wander from the land I gave their forefathers if they are careful to follow everything I have ordered them to do—the whole law that my servant Moses gave them.”
9 Nguni't hindi nila dininig: at hinikayat sila ni Manases na gumawa ng lalong masama kay sa ginawa ng mga bansa, na pinaglipol ng Panginoon sa harap ng mga anak ni Israel.
The people refused to listen and Manasseh led them to sin so that the evil they did was even worse than the nations the Lord had destroyed before the Israelites.
10 At ang Panginoon ay nagsalita sa pamamagitan ng kaniyang mga lingkod na mga propeta, na nagsasabi,
The Lord said through his servants the prophets:
11 Sapagka't ginawa ni Manases na hari sa Juda ang mga karumaldumal na ito, at gumawa ng kasamaan na higit kay sa lahat na ginawa ng mga Amorrheo, na una sa kaniya, at ipinapagkasala sa Juda naman sa pamamagitan ng kaniyang mga diosdiosan:
“Since Manasseh, king of Judah, has committed all these disgusting sins, doing even more evil things than the Amorites who lived before him, and by his encouragement of idol worship has made Judah sin,
12 Kaya't ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon, ng Dios ng Israel, Narito, aking dadalhin ang ganiyang kasamaan sa Jerusalem at sa Juda, na sinomang makabalita ay magpapanting ang dalawang tainga.
this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: Watch out! I am going to bring down upon Jerusalem and Judah such a disaster that it will cause ringing in the ears of everyone who hears it.
13 At aking paaabutin sa Jerusalem ang pising panukat ng Samaria, at ang pabato ng bahay ni Achab: at aking lilinisin ang Jerusalem gaya ng paglilinis ng isang tao ng isang pinggan, na nililinis at itinataob.
I will extend over Jerusalem the measuring line used against Samaria and the plumb line used against the house of Ahab, and I will wipe away Jerusalem as people wipe clean a bowl, wiping it and turning it upside down.
14 At aking ihihiwalay ang nalabi sa aking mana, at aking ibibigay sa kamay ng kanilang mga kaaway: at sila'y magiging bihag at samsam sa lahat nilang kaaway.
I will give up on the remnant of my special people and hand them over to their enemies. They will be plunder and loot to all their enemies,
15 Sapagka't gumawa sila ng masama sa aking paningin at minungkahi nila ako sa galit, mula nang araw na ang kanilang mga magulang ay magsilabas sa Egipto, hanggang nga sa araw na ito.
because they have done what is evil in my sight, and have made me angry from the day their fathers left Egypt until today.”
16 Bukod dito'y nagbubong mainam si Manases ng dugong walang sala, hanggang sa kaniyang napuno ang Jerusalem mula sa isang dulo hanggang sa kabila; bukod sa kaniyang sala na kaniyang ipinapagkasala sa Juda, sa paggawa ng masama sa paningin ng Panginoon.
On top of that, Manasseh murdered so many innocent people that Jerusalem was filled from one side to the other with their blood. This was in addition to the sin that he had made Judah commit, doing evil in the Lord's sight.
17 Ang iba nga sa mga gawa ni Manases, at ang lahat niyang ginawa, at ang sala na kaniyang ipinagkasala, di ba nangasusulat sa aklat ng mga alaala sa mga hari sa Juda?
The rest of what happened in Manasseh's reign, all he did, as well as the sins he committed, are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Judah.
18 At si Manases ay natulog na kasama ng kaniyang mga magulang, at nalibing sa halamanan ng kaniyang sariling bahay, sa halamanan ng Uzza: at si Amon na kaniyang anak ay naghari na kahalili niya.
Manasseh died, and was buried in his palace garden, the garden of Uzza. His son Amon succeeded him as king.
19 Si Amon ay may dalawang pu't dalawang taon nang siya'y magpasimulang maghari; at siya'y nagharing dalawang taon sa Jerusalem: at ang pangalan ng kaniyang ina ay Mesalemeth na anak ni Harus na taga Jotba.
Amon was twenty-two when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for two years. His mother's name was Meshullemeth, daughter of Haruz. She came from Jotbah.
20 At siya'y gumawa ng masama sa paningin ng Panginoon gaya ng ginawa ni Manases na kaniyang ama.
He did what was evil in the Lord's sight, just as his father Manasseh had done.
21 At siya'y lumakad ng buong lakad na inilakad ng kaniyang ama, at naglingkod sa mga diosdiosan na pinaglingkuran ng kaniyang ama, at sinamba niya ang mga yaon:
He followed all the ways of his father, and he served the idols his father had served, bowing down in worship to them.
22 At binayaan ang Panginoon, ang Dios ng kaniyang mga magulang, at hindi lumakad sa daan ng Panginoon.
He rejected the Lord, the God of his forefathers, and did not follow the way of the Lord.
23 At ang mga lingkod ni Amon ay nagsipagbanta laban sa kaniya, at pinatay ang hari sa kaniyang sariling bahay.
Amon's officials plotted against him and murdered him in his royal palace.
24 Nguni't pinatay ng bayan ng lupain ang lahat na nagsipagbanta laban sa haring Amon; at ginawang hari ng bayan ng lupain si Josias na kaniyang anak na kahalili niya.
But then the people of the land killed everyone who had plotted against King Amon, and they chose his son Josiah king to succeed him.
25 Ang iba nga sa mga gawa ni Amon na kaniyang ginawa, di ba nangasusulat sa aklat ng mga alaala sa mga hari sa Juda?
The rest of what happened in Amon's reign, and all he did, are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Judah.
26 At siya'y nalibing sa kaniyang libingan sa halamanan ng Uzza; at si Josias na kaniyang anak ay naghari na kahalili niya.
He was buried in his tomb in the garden of Uzza, and his son Josiah succeeded him as king.
