2 Meʻa Hokohoko 33
1 Naʻe hongofulu taʻu mo e taʻu ʻe ua ʻae motuʻa ʻo Manase ʻi heʻene kamata pule, pea naʻe pule ia ʻi Selūsalema ʻi he taʻu ʻe nimangofulu mo e taʻu ʻe nima.
Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem.
2 Ka naʻe fai ʻe ia ʻaia naʻe kovi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi angakovi ʻoe hiteni ʻaia naʻe kapusi ʻe Sihova mei he ʻao ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.
He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, after the abominations of the nations whom the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.
3 He naʻa ne toe langaʻi ʻae ngaahi potu māʻolunga, ʻaia naʻe holoki hifo ʻe heʻene tamai ko Hesekaia, ʻo ne fokotuʻu ʻae ngaahi feilaulauʻanga kia Peali, ʻo ne ngaohi ʻae ngaahi vao tapu, pea lotu ia ki he meʻa kotoa pē ʻoe langi, pea ne tauhi ki ai.
For he built again the high places which Hezekiah his father had broken down; and he raised up altars for the Baals, made Asheroth, and worshiped all the army of the sky, and served them.
4 Pea naʻa ne langa ʻae ngaahi feilaulauʻanga ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova, ʻaia naʻe folofola ki ai ʻe Sihova, ʻE tuʻu hoku hingoa ʻi Selūsalema ʻo taʻengata.
He built altars in the LORD’s house, of which the LORD said, “My name shall be in Jerusalem forever.”
5 Pea naʻa ne langa ʻae ngaahi feilaulauʻanga ki he meʻa kotoa pē ʻoe langi ʻi he loto ʻā e ua ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova.
He built altars for all the army of the sky in the two courts of the LORD’s house.
6 Pea naʻa ne pule ʻe ia ke ʻalu ʻene fānau ʻo ʻasi ʻi he afi ʻi he teleʻa ʻoe foha ʻo Henomi: pea naʻa ne tokanga foki ki he ngaahi kuonga, pea ne fai ʻae hū fakatēvolo, pea fai ʻae tuki fakatēvolo pea naʻe kaumeʻa ia ki he laumālie kovi, pea ki he kau kikite loi: naʻa ne fai ʻae kovi lahi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ke fakatupu ai ʻae houhau kiate ia.
He also made his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom. He practiced sorcery, divination, and witchcraft, and dealt with those who had familiar spirits and with wizards. He did much evil in the LORD’s sight, to provoke him to anger.
7 Pea naʻe fokotuʻu ʻe ia ʻae tamapua naʻe tongi, ko e ʻotua loi naʻa ne ngaohi, ʻi he fale ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻaia naʻe folofola ai ʻae ʻOtua kia Tevita pea mo Solomone ko hono foha, “Te u tuku hoku hingoa ʻi he fale ni, pea ʻi Selūsalema ʻaia kuo u fili ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ngaahi faʻahinga kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli ke taʻengata:
He set the engraved image of the idol, which he had made, in God’s house, of which God said to David and to Solomon his son, “In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, I will put my name forever.
8 pea ʻe ʻikai te u toe hiki ʻae vaʻe ʻo ʻIsileli mei he fonua ʻaia naʻaku tuʻutuʻuni moʻo hoʻomou ngaahi tamai: ʻo kapau te nau tokanga ke fai ʻaia kotoa pē naʻaku fekau kiate kinautolu, ʻo fakatatau ki he fono kotoa mo e ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni, mo e ngaahi fakamaau ʻi he nima ʻo Mōsese.”
I will not any more remove the foot of Israel from off the land which I have appointed for your fathers, if only they will observe to do all that I have commanded them, even all the law, the statutes, and the ordinances given by Moses.”
9 Ko ia naʻe pule ʻe Manase kia Siuta mo e kakai ʻo Selūsalema ke nau hē, pea ke nau fai kovi lahi hake ʻi he hiteni, ʻaia naʻe fakaʻauha ʻe Sihova mei he ʻao ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.
Manasseh seduced Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that they did more evil than did the nations whom the LORD destroyed before the children of Israel.
10 Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Manase, pea mo ʻene kakai: ka naʻe ʻikai te nau fie tokanga.
The LORD spoke to Manasseh and to his people, but they didn’t listen.
11 Ko ia naʻe ʻomi ai ʻe Sihova kiate kinautolu ʻae ngaahi ʻeiki ʻoe tau ʻoe tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia, ʻaia naʻa nau puke ʻa Manase ʻi he ngaahi talaʻi ʻakau, pea haʻi ʻaki ia ʻae ngaahi meʻa haʻi, pea ʻave ia ki Papilone.
Therefore the LORD brought on them the captains of the army of the king of Assyria, who took Manasseh in chains, bound him with fetters, and carried him to Babylon.
12 Pea kuo moʻua ia ʻi he mamahi, naʻa ne hū ai kia Sihova, ko hono ʻOtua, ʻo ne fakavaivai lahi ia ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua ʻo ʻene ngaahi tamai,
When he was in distress, he begged the LORD his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers.
13 Pea naʻe lotu ia kiate ia: pea naʻa ne talia ʻe ia ia, ʻo tokangaʻi ʻene lotu fakakolekole, pea ne toe ʻomi ia ki Selūsalema ki hono puleʻanga. Pea naʻe toki ʻilo ai ʻe Manase ko Sihova ko ia ko e ʻOtua.
He prayed to him; and he was entreated by him, and heard his supplication, and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the LORD was God.
14 Pea hili ʻae meʻa ni naʻa ne langa ʻae ʻā maka ʻi tuaʻā ʻi he Kolo ʻo Tevita, ʻi he potu lulunga ʻo Kihoni, ʻi he toafa, ʻio, ʻo hoko atu ki he matapā ika, ʻo ʻalu fakatakamilo ʻi Ofili, ʻo ne fokotuʻu hake ia ke māʻolunga ʻaupito: pea naʻe fakanofo ʻae ngaahi ʻeikitau ʻi he ngaahi kolo tau kotoa pē ʻo Siuta.
Now after this, he built an outer wall to David’s city on the west side of Gihon, in the valley, even to the entrance at the fish gate. He encircled Ophel with it, and raised it up to a very great height; and he put valiant captains in all the fortified cities of Judah.
15 Pea naʻe ʻave mei ai ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi ʻotua kehe, pea mo e ʻotua loi mei he fale ʻo Sihova, pea mo e ngaahi feilaulauʻanga ʻaia naʻa ne langa ʻi he moʻunga ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova, pea ʻi Selūsalema, ʻo ne lī ia kituaʻā mei he kolo.
He took away the foreign gods and the idol out of the LORD’s house, and all the altars that he had built in the mountain of the LORD’s house and in Jerusalem, and cast them out of the city.
16 Pea naʻe toe ngaohi ʻe ia ʻo fakalelei ʻae feilaulauʻanga ʻo Sihova, pea ne feilaulau ki ai ʻae ngaahi feilaulau fakamelino, mo e ngaahi feilaulau fakafetaʻi, pea ne fekau ki Siuta ke tauhi ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli.
He built up the LORD’s altar, and offered sacrifices of peace offerings and of thanksgiving on it, and commanded Judah to serve the LORD, the God of Israel.
17 Ka naʻe kei fai feilaulau ʻae kakai ʻi he ngaahi potu māʻolunga, ka [naʻe fai ia ]kia Sihova pe ko honau ʻOtua.
Nevertheless the people still sacrificed in the high places, but only to the LORD their God.
18 Pea ko hono toe ʻoe ngāue ʻa Manase, mo ʻene lotu ki hono ʻOtua, mo e ngaahi lea ʻae kau kikite ʻaia naʻa nau lea ʻaki kiate ia ʻi he huafa ʻo Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, vakai, kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli.
Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and his prayer to his God, and the words of the seers who spoke to him in the name of the LORD, the God of Israel, behold, they are written among the acts of the kings of Israel.
19 Pea ko ʻene lotu foki, mo hono talia loto ʻofa ʻe he ʻOtua, mo ʻene angahala kotoa pē, mo ʻene fai hala, mo e ngaahi potu naʻa ne langa ai ʻae ngaahi potu māʻolunga, pea fokotuʻu ai ʻae ngaahi vao tapu, mo e ngaahi meʻa fakatātā, ʻi he teʻeki fakavaivaiʻi ia: vakai kuo tohi ia ʻi he ngaahi lea ʻae kau kikite.
His prayer also, and how God listened to his request, and all his sin and his trespass, and the places in which he built high places and set up the Asherah poles and the engraved images before he humbled himself: behold, they are written in the history of Hozai.
20 Pea naʻe mohe ʻa Manase mo ʻene ngaahi tamai, pea naʻa nau tanu ia ʻi hono fale ʻoʻona: pea naʻe fetongi ia ʻi he pule ʻe hono foha ko ʻAmoni.
So Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they buried him in his own house; and Amon his son reigned in his place.
21 Naʻe uofulu taʻu mo e taʻu ʻe ua ʻa ʻAmoni ʻi heʻene kamata pule, pea naʻe pule ia ʻi he taʻu ʻe ua ʻi Selūsalema.
Amon was twenty-two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned two years in Jerusalem.
22 Ka naʻe fai ʻe ia ʻaia naʻe kovi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe fai ʻe Manase ko ʻene tamai: he naʻe feilaulau ʻa ʻAmoni ki he ngaahi meʻa fakatātā kotoa pē, ʻaia naʻe tātā mo ngaohi ʻe Manase ko ʻene tamai, ʻo ne tauhi ki ai:
He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, as did Manasseh his father; and Amon sacrificed to all the engraved images which Manasseh his father had made, and served them.
23 Pea naʻe ʻikai te ne fakavaivai ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ʻo hangē ko hono fakavaivai ia ʻe Manase ko ʻene tamai: ka naʻe fakaʻaʻau ki muʻa pe ʻa ʻAmoni ʻi he fai hala.
He didn’t humble himself before the LORD, as Manasseh his father had humbled himself; but this same Amon trespassed more and more.
24 Pea naʻe alea fakataha ʻa ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki ʻo lapasi pea tāmateʻi ia ʻi hono fale ʻoʻona.
His servants conspired against him, and put him to death in his own house.
25 Ka naʻe tāmateʻi ʻe he kakai ʻoe fonua, ʻakinautolu kotoa pē naʻe fakataha ʻo lapa ki he tuʻi ko ʻAmoni: pea naʻe fakanofo ʻe he kakai ʻoe fonua ʻa hono foha ko Sosaia ke tuʻi ko hono fetongi ia.
But the people of the land killed all those who had conspired against King Amon; and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his place.
