2 Mga Hari 21
1 Labingdalawang taong gulang si Manasses nang magsimula siyang maghari; naghari siya ng limampu't limang taon sa Jerusalem. Hefzibas ang pangalan ng kaniyang ina.
Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign; he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Hephzibah.
2 Ginawa niya kung ano ang masama sa paningin ni Yahweh, gaya ng mga nakapandidiring mga bagay ng mga bansa na pinalayas ni Yahweh sa harapan ng bayan ng Israel.
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 Dahil itinayo niya muli ang mga dambana na winasak ng kaniyang ama na si Hezekias, at nagtayo siya ng mga altar para kay Baal, gumawa ng poste ni Asera, gaya ng ginawa ni Ahab na hari ng Israel, at lumuhod siya sa lahat ng mga bituin ng langit at sinamba ang mga ito.
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 Nagtayo si Manasses ng paganong mga altar sa tahanan ni Yahweh, bagaman inutos ni Yahweh, “Sa Jerusalem mananatili ang aking pangalan magpakailanman.”
Manasseh built altars in the house of Yahweh, although Yahweh had commanded, “It is in Jerusalem that my name will be forever.”
5 Nagtayo siya ng mga altar para sa lahat ng mga bituin ng kalangitan sa dalawang patyo ng tahanan ni Yahweh.
He built altars for all the stars of heaven in the two courtyards of the house of Yahweh.
6 Hinandog niya ang kaniyang anak bilang sinunog na handog sa apoy, nagsagawa siya ng panghuhula at salamangka, at kumonsulta sa mga nakipagusap sa mga patay at sa mga nakipagusap sa mga espiritu. Gumawa siya ng labis na kasamaan sa paningin ni Yahweh, at pinukaw niya ang Diyos na magalit.
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 Ang inukit niyang imahe ni Asera na ginawa niya, ay inilagay niya sa tahanan ni Yahweh. Ang tahanan na ito ang lugar kung saan nangusap si Yahweh kay David at Solomon na kaniyang anak; na sinasabing, “Sa tahanan na ito at sa Jerusalem, na aking pinili mula sa lahat ng mga tribo ng Israel, mananatili ang aking pangalan magpakailanman.
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 Hindi ko hahayaang maligaw ang landas ng Israel mula sa lupain na aking binigay sa kanilang mga ninuno, kung susundin lang nila ng mabuti ang lahat ng inutos ko sa kanila, at sundin ang lahat ng batas na inutos sa kanila ng aking lingkod na si Moises.”
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 Pero hindi nakinig ang mga tao, at inakay sila ni Manasses na gumawa ng higit pang kasamaan kaysa sa mga bansa na winasak ni Yahweh sa harapan ng bayan ng Israel.
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 Kaya nangusap si Yahweh sa pamamagitan ng kaniyang mga lingkod na mga propeta, na sinasabing,
So Yahweh spoke by his servants the prophets, saying,
11 “Dahil gumawa ng karumal-dumal na mga bagay si Manasses ang hari ng Juda, at kumilos ng may kasamaan na higit pa sa lahat ng ginawa ng mga Amorita na kaniyang sinundan, at dinulot ding magkasala ang Juda kasama ng kaniyang mga diyus-diyosan,”
“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 kaya sinasabi ni Yahweh, ang Diyos ng Israel, “Tingnan ninyo, malapit na akong magpadala ng labis na kapahamakan sa Jerusalem at Juda na kung sinuman ang makarinig nito, kikilabutan ang pareho niyang tainga.
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 Ilalatag ko sa ibabaw ng Jerusalem ang panukat na linya na ginamit laban sa Samaria, at ang panghulog na ginamit laban sa bahay ni Ahab; pupunasan at lilinisin ko ang Jerusalem, gaya ng pagpupunas ng pinggan ng isang tao, pinupunasan ito at pagkatapos ay itinataob ito.
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 Itatapon ko ang mga nalalabi ng aking mana at ibibigay sila sa kamay ng kanilang mga kaaway. Magiging biktima sila ng pandarambong para sa lahat ng kanilang mga kaaway,
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 dahil ginawa nila kung ano ang masama sa aking paningin, at pinukaw ako para magalit, simula nang lumabas ang kanilang mga ninuno sa Ehipto, hanggang sa araw na ito.”
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 Higit pa roon, nagpadanak si Manasses ng labis na inosenteng dugo, pinuno niya ng kamatayan ang magkabilang dulo ng Jerusalem. Karagdagan pa ito sa kasalanan na pinilit niyang gawin ng Juda, sa paggawa ng masama sa paningin ni Yahweh.
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 Para sa iba pang mga bagay tungkol kay Manasses, lahat ng kaniyang ginawa, at ang kasalanan na kaniyang ginawa, hindi ba nakasulat ang mga ito sa Aklat ng mga Kaganapan sa buhay ng mga Hari ng Juda?
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 Nahimlay si Manasses kasama ng kaniyang mga ninuno at inilibing sa hardin ng sarili niyang bahay, sa hardin ni Uza. Ang kaniyang anak na si Amon ang pumalit sa kaniya bilang hari.
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 Dalawampu't dalawang taong gulang si Amon nang magsimula siyang maghari; naghari siya ng dalawang taon sa Jerusalem. Meshulemet ang pangalan ng kaniyang ina, na anak ni Haruz ng Jotba.
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 Ginawa niya kung ano ang masama sa paningin ni Yahweh, gaya ng ginawa ng kaniyang ama na si Manasses.
He did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh, as Manasseh his father had done.
21 Sinunod ni Amon ang lahat ng landas na tinahak ng kaniyang ama at sinamba ang mga diyus-diyosan na sinamba ng kaniyang ama, at lumuhod sa kanila.
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 Iniwan niya si Yahweh, ang Diyos ng kaniyang mga ama, at hindi lumakad sa daan ni Yahweh.
He abandoned Yahweh, the God of his fathers, and did not walk in the way of Yahweh.
23 Nagbanta ang mga lingkod ni Amon laban sa kaniya at pinatay ang hari sa sarili niyang tahanan.
The servants of Amon conspired against him and put the king to death in his own house.
24 Pero pinatay ng mga mamamayan ng lupain ang lahat ng nagkaisa laban kay Haring Amon, at ginawa nilang hari si Josias ang anak ng hari bilang kaniyang kapalit.
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 Para sa iba pang mga bagay tungkol sa ginawa ni Amon, hindi ba nakasulat ang mga ito sa Aklat ng mga Kaganapan sa Buhay ng mga Hari ng Juda?
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 Nilibing siya ng mga tao sa kaniyang puntod sa hardin ni Uza, at si Josias na kaniyang anak ang pumalit sa kaniya bilang hari.
The people buried him in his tomb in the garden of Uzza, and Josiah his son became king in his place.
