2 Kings 21

1 Manase jẹ́ ẹni ọdún méjìlá nígbà tí ó bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí ìjọba, ó sì jẹ ọba ní Jerusalẹmu fún ọdún márùndínlọ́gọ́ta. Orúkọ ìyá rẹ̀ sì ni Hẹfisiba.

Manasseh was twelve years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for fifty-five years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Hephzibah.

2 Ó sì ṣe búburú ní ojú Olúwa, ó sì tẹ̀lé iṣẹ́ ìríra tí àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè tí Olúwa lé jáde níwájú àwọn ọmọ Israẹli.

And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, in accord with the idols of the nations that the Lord destroyed before the face of the sons of Israel.

3 Ó sì tún ibi gíga tí baba rẹ̀ Hesekiah tí ó parun kọ́. Ó sì tún gbé pẹpẹ Baali dìde, ó sì ṣe ère òrìṣà Aṣerah, gẹ́gẹ́ bí Ahabu ọba Israẹli ti ṣe. Ó sì tẹríba sí gbogbo ogun ọ̀run, ó sì ń sìn wọ́n.

And he turned away. And he built up the high places that his father, Hezekiah, had destroyed. And he erected altars to Baal, and he made sacred groves, just as Ahab, the king of Israel, had done. And he adored the entire army of heaven, and he served them.

4 Ó sì kọ́ pẹpẹ nínú ilé tí a kọ́ fún Olúwa, èyí tí Olúwa ti sọ pé, “Ní Jerusalẹmu ni èmi yóò kọ orúkọ mi sí.”

And he constructed altars in the house of the Lord, about which the Lord said: “In Jerusalem, I will place my name.”

5 Ní àgbàlá méjèèjì ilé Olúwa, ó sì kọ́ pẹpẹ fún gbogbo àwọn ìrúbọ nínú ilé, ṣe iṣẹ́ àkíyèsí àfọ̀ṣẹ, ó sì béèrè lọ́wọ́ àwọn òkú àti àwọn oṣó. Ó sì ṣe ọ̀pọ̀ búburú ní ojú Olúwa, ó sì mú un bínú.

And he constructed altars, for the entire army of heaven, within the two courts of the temple of the Lord.

6 Ó fi àwọn ọmọ ara rẹ̀ rú ẹbọ nínú iná, ó ń ṣe àkíyèsí àfọ̀ṣẹ, ó sì ń lo àlúpàyídà, ó sì ń bá àwọn òku àti oṣó lò. Ó ṣe ọ̀pọ̀ ohun búburú ní ojú Olúwa láti mú un bínú.

And he led his son through fire. And he used divinations, and observed omens, and appointed soothsayers, and multiplied diviners, so that he did evil before the Lord, and provoked him.

7 Ó sì gbé ère fínfín òrìṣà Aṣerah tí ó ti ṣe, ó sì gbé e sínú ilé Olúwa, èyí tí Olúwa ti sọ fún Dafidi àti sí ọmọ rẹ̀ Solomoni, “Nínú ilé Olúwa yìí àti ní Jerusalẹmu, tí èmi ti yàn jáde lára gbogbo ẹ̀yà Israẹli, èmi yóò kọ orúkọ mi títí láéláé.

Also, he set up an idol, of the sacred grove that he had made, in the temple of the Lord, about which the Lord said to David, and to his son Solomon: “In this temple, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, I will place my name forever.

8 Èmi kò ní jẹ́ kí ẹsẹ̀ àwọn ọmọ Israẹli yẹ̀ kúrò láti ilẹ̀ tí èmi fi fún àwọn baba ńlá wọn tí ó bá jẹ́ wí pé wọn yóò ṣe àkíyèsí láti ṣe gbogbo ohun tí èmi ti paláṣẹ fún wọn kí wọn sì pa gbogbo òfin tí ìránṣẹ́ mi Mose fi fún wọn mọ́.”

And I will no longer cause the feet of Israel to be moved from the land that I gave to their fathers: if only they will take care to do all that I have instructed them, and the entire law that my servant Moses commanded to them.”

9 Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ènìyàn náà kò tẹ́tí. Manase tàn wọ́n síwájú, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kí wọ́n lè ṣe búburú ju gbogbo orílẹ̀-èdè tí Olúwa tí parun níwájú àwọn ọmọ Israẹli lọ.

Yet truly, they did not listen. Instead, they were seduced by Manasseh, so that they did evil, more so than the nations that the Lord crushed before the face of the sons of Israel.

10 Olúwa sì wí nípasẹ̀ ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ wòlíì pé,

And so the Lord spoke, by the hand of his servants, the prophets, saying:

11 “Manase ọba Juda ti ṣe ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ ohun ìríra. Ó ti ṣe ohun búburú jùlọ ju àwọn ará Amori lọ ẹni tí ó ti wà ṣáájú rẹ̀ tí ó sì ti ṣáájú Juda sínú ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ pẹ̀lú àwọn ère rẹ̀.

“Since Manasseh, the king of Judah, has committed these wicked abominations, beyond all that the Amorites before him have done, and also has caused Judah to sin by his defilements,

12 Nítorí náà èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run Israẹli, wí, Èmi le è lọ mú irú ibi báyìí wá sórí Jerusalẹmu àti Juda kí gbogbo etí olúkúlùkù tí ó gbọ́ nípa rẹ̀ le è hó.

because of this, thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Behold, I will lead evils over Jerusalem and over Judah, such that, whoever will hear of these things, both his ears will ring.

13 Èmi yóò sì nà okùn ìwọ̀n kan tí a lò lórí Jerusalẹmu àti lórí Samaria àti òjé ìdiwọ̀n ti a lò lórí ilé Ahabu. Èmi yóò sì nu Jerusalẹmu gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọkàn tí ń nu àwokòtò nù tí o ń nù un tí o sì ń dorí rẹ̀ kodò.

And I will extend the measuring line of Samaria over Jerusalem, with the scale of the house of Ahab. And I will erase Jerusalem, just as writing tablets are usually erased. And after erasing, I will turn it and repeatedly drag a stylus over its surface.

14 Èmi yóò sì kọ ìyókù àwọn ìní mi sílẹ̀ èmi yóò sì kó wọn lé àwọn ọ̀tá wọn lọ́wọ́. Wọn yóò sì di ìkógun àti ìjẹ fún gbogbo àwọn ọ̀tá wọn,

And truly, I will send away the remnants of my inheritance, and I will deliver them into the hands of their enemies. And they will be devastated and plundered by all their adversaries.

15 nítorí pé wọ́n ti ṣe búburú ní ojú mi, wọ́n sì ti mú mi bínú láti ọjọ́ tí baba ńlá wọn ti jáde wá láti Ejibiti títí di òní yìí.”

For they have done evil before me, and they have persevered in provoking me, from the day when their fathers departed from Egypt, even to this day.

16 Pẹ̀lúpẹ̀lú, Manase pẹ̀lú ta ẹ̀jẹ̀ aláìṣẹ̀ sílẹ̀ púpọ̀ tí ó kún Jerusalẹmu láti ìkangun dé ìkangun ní ẹ̀gbẹ́ ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ tí ó ti mú Juda ṣẹ̀, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni, kí wọ́n lè ṣe ohun búburú ní ojú Olúwa.

Moreover, Manasseh also has shed an exceedingly great amount of innocent blood, until he filled Jerusalem even to the mouth, aside from his sins by which he caused Judah to sin, so that they did evil before the Lord.”

17 Ní ti iṣẹ́ ìyókù ti ìjọba Manase, àti gbogbo ohun tí ó ṣe, àti fún ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ tí ó ṣẹ̀, ṣé wọ́n kò kọ wọ́n sínú ìwé ìtàn àwọn ọba Juda?

Now the rest of the words of Manasseh, and all that he did, and his sin that he sinned, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah?

18 Manase sì sùn pẹ̀lú àwọn baba rẹ̀ wọ́n sì sin ín nínú ọgbà ààfin rẹ̀, ọgbà Ussa. Amoni ọmọ rẹ̀ sì jẹ ọba ní ipò rẹ̀.

And Manasseh slept with his fathers, and he was buried in the garden of his own house, in the garden of Uzza. And Amon, his son, reigned in his place.

19 Amoni jẹ́ ẹni ọdún méjìlélógún nígbà tí ó jẹ ọba. Orúkọ màmá rẹ̀ a sì máa jẹ́ Meṣulemeti ọmọbìnrin Harusi: ó wá láti Jotba, ó sì jẹ ọba ní Jerusalẹmu fún ọdún méjì.

Amon was twenty-two years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for two years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Meshullemeth, the daughter of Haruz, from Jotbah.

20 Ó sì ṣe búburú ní ojú Olúwa àti gẹ́gẹ́ bí baba rẹ̀ Manase ti ṣe.

And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, just as his father, Manasseh, had done.

21 Ó rìn ní gbogbo ọ̀nà baba rẹ̀: Ó sì ń sin àwọn ère tí baba rẹ̀ ń sìn, ó sì ń tẹrí rẹ̀ ba fún wọn.

And he walked in all the ways in which his father had walked. And he served the unclean things that his father had served, and he adored them.

22 Ó sì kọ Olúwa Ọlọ́run baba rẹ̀ sílẹ̀ kò sì rìn ní ọ̀nà ti Olúwa.

And he abandoned the Lord, the God of his fathers, and he did not walk in the way of the Lord.

23 Àwọn ìránṣẹ́ Amoni dìtẹ̀ lórí rẹ̀ wọ́n sì lu ọba pa ní àárín ilé rẹ̀.

And his servants undertook treachery against him. And they killed the king in his own house.

24 Nígbà náà àwọn ènìyàn ilẹ̀ náà pa gbogbo àwọn tí ó dìtẹ̀ sí ọba Amoni, wọ́n sì fi Josiah ọmọ rẹ̀ jẹ ọba ní ààyè rẹ̀.

But the people of the land slew all those who had conspired against king Amon. And they appointed for themselves Josiah, his son, as king in his place.

25 Àti gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìyókù iṣẹ́ ti ìjọba Amoni àti ohun tí ó ṣe, ṣé wọn kò kọ wọ́n sínú ìwé ìtàn àwọn ọba Juda?

But the rest of the words of Amon, which he did, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah?

26 Wọ́n sì sin ín sínú isà òkú nínú ọgbà Ussa. Josiah ọmọ rẹ̀ sì jẹ ọba ní ipò rẹ̀.

And they buried him in his sepulcher, in the garden of Uzza. And his son, Josiah, reigned in his place.
