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 years old when he began to rule. He ruled Judah for 55 years from Jerusalem. His mother 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 many things that Yahweh considered to be evil. He imitated the disgusting things that were formerly done by the people of the nations that Yahweh had expelled from the land of Israel as his people advanced [through the land].
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 commanded his workers to rebuild the shrines [for worshiping Yahweh] that his father Hezekiah had destroyed [because they were not in the place that Yahweh had said they should worship him]. He directed his workers to build altars for worshiping Baal. He made [a statue of the goddess] Asherah, like Ahab the king of Israel had done [previously]. And Manasseh worshiped [DOU] the 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 directed his workers to build altars [for worshiping foreign gods] in the temple of Yahweh, about which Yahweh had said, “It is here in Jerusalem where I want people to worship [MTY] me, forever.”
5 At kaniyang ipinagtayo ng mga dambana ang lahat na natatanaw sa langit sa dalawang looban ng bahay ng Panginoon.
He directed that altars for worshiping the stars be built in both of the courtyards outside the 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 sacrificed his own son by burning [him in a fire]. He performed rituals to practice sorcery and magic rituals. He also went to people who consulted the spirits of dead people to find out what would happen in the future. He did many things that Yahweh considered to be extremely evil, things that caused Yahweh to become very 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 placed the statue of the goddess Asherah in the temple, the place about which Yahweh had said to David and his son Solomon, “My temple will be here in Jerusalem. This is the city that I have chosen from all the territory of the twelve tribes of Israel, where I want people to worship me, 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.
And if the Israeli people obey all my commands and all the laws that I gave to Moses, the man who served me [very well], I will not again force them to leave this land that I gave to their ancestors.”
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.
But the people did not heed Yahweh. And Manasseh persuaded them to commit sins that are more evil than the sins that were committed by the people of the nations that Yahweh had expelled from the land as the Israeli people advanced.
10 At ang Panginoon ay nagsalita sa pamamagitan ng kaniyang mga lingkod na mga propeta, na nagsasabi,
[These are some of the things that] the prophets said many times, messages that Yahweh had given them:
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:
“Manasseh, the king of Judah, has done these abominable things, things that are much worse than the things that the Amor people-group did in this land long ago. He has persuaded the people of Judah to sin by [worshiping] idols.
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.
Therefore, this is what I, Yahweh, the God whom you Israeli people worship, say: I will the cause the people of Jerusalem and the rest of Judah to experience great disasters. It will be terrible, with the result that everyone who hears about it will be stunned [MTY].
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 judge and punish [MET] the people of Jerusalem like I punished the family of King Ahab [of Israel]. I will (wipe Jerusalem clean/remove all the people from Jerusalem), like [MET] people wipe a plate and then turn it upside down [after they have finished eating, to show that they are now satisfied].
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.
And I will abandon the people who remain alive, and I will allow their enemies to conquer them and steal everything valuable from their land.
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.
I will do this because my people have done things that I consider to be very evil, things which have caused me to become very angry. They have caused me to become angry continually, ever since their ancestors left Egypt.”
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.
Manasseh [commanded his officials to] kill many innocent people in Jerusalem, with the result that their blood flowed in the streets. He did this in addition to persuading the people of Judah to sin against Yahweh [by worshiping idols].
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?
[If you want to know more about] all the things that Manasseh did, they are written in the scroll called ‘The History 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 [EUP] and was buried in the garden outside his palace, the garden that Uzza [had made]. Then Manasseh’s son Amon became the 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 years old when he became king. He ruled Judah from Jerusalem for [only] two years. His mother’s name was Meshullemeth. She was from Jotbah [town], and was the granddaughter of Haruz.
20 At siya'y gumawa ng masama sa paningin ng Panginoon gaya ng ginawa ni Manases na kaniyang ama.
Amon did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil, like 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 imitated the behavior of his father, and he worshiped the same idols that his father had worshiped [DOU].
22 At binayaan ang Panginoon, ang Dios ng kaniyang mga magulang, at hindi lumakad sa daan ng Panginoon.
He abandoned Yahweh, the God whom his ancestors [had worshiped], and did not behave as Yahweh wanted him to.
23 At ang mga lingkod ni Amon ay nagsipagbanta laban sa kaniya, at pinatay ang hari sa kaniyang sariling bahay.
Then one day some of his officials plotted to kill him. They assassinated him in the 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 Judah killed all those who had assassinated King Amon, and they appointed his son Josiah to be their king.
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?
[If you want to read about] [RHQ] the other things that Amon did, they are written in the scroll called ‘The History 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.
Amon was also buried in the tomb in the garden that Uzza [had made]. Then Amon’s son Josiah became the king.
