< Chronicles II 33 >

1 Manasses was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem.
Manáse je bil star dvanajst let, ko je začel kraljevati in v Jeruzalemu je kraljeval petinpetdeset let,
2 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, according to all the abominations of the heathen, whom the Lord destroyed from before the face of the children of Israel.
toda počel je to, kar je bilo zlo v Gospodovih očeh, podobno ogabnostim poganov, ki jih je Gospod pregnal pred Izraelovimi otroki.
3 And he returned and built the high places, which his father Ezekias had pulled down, and set up images to Baalim, and made groves, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served them.
Kajti ponovno je zgradil visoke kraje, ki jih je njegov oče Ezekíja porušil, vzdignil Báalove oltarje, naredil ašere in oboževal vso vojsko neba ter jim služil.
4 And he built altars in the house of the Lord, concerning which the Lord said, In Jerusalem shall be my name for ever.
Prav tako je zgradil oltarje v Gospodovi hiši, o kateri je Gospod rekel: »V Jeruzalemu bo moje ime na veke.«
5 And he built altars to all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the Lord.
Zgradil je oltarje za vso vojsko neba v dveh dvorih Gospodove hiše.
6 He also passed his children through the fire in the valley of Benennom; and he divined, and used auspices, and sorceries, and appointed those who had divining spirits, and enchanters, and wrought abundant wickedness before the Lord, to provoke him.
Svoje otroke je izročil, da gredo skozi ogenj v dolini sina Hinómovega. Obeleževal je tudi čase, uporabljal izrekanje urokov, uporabljal čarovništvo in postopal z osebnim duhom in s čarovniki. Storil je mnogo zla v Gospodovih očeh, da ga izziva do jeze.
7 And he set the graven [image], the molten [statue], the idol which he made, in the house of God, of which God had said to David and to Solomon his son, In this house, and Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, I will put my name for ever;
Postavil je izrezljano podobo, malika, ki ga je naredil v Božji hiši, o kateri je Bog rekel Davidu in njegovemu sinu Salomonu: »V tej hiši, v Jeruzalemu, ki sem jo izbral pred vsemi Izraelovimi rodovi, bom svoje ime postavil na veke.
8 and I will not again remove the foot of Israel from the land which I gave to their fathers, if only they will take heed to do all things which I have commanded them, according to all the law and the ordinances and the judgements [given] by the hand of Moses.
Niti ne bom več odstranil Izraelovega stopala iz dežele, ki sem jo določil za vaše očete, tako da bodo pazili, da storijo vse, kar sem jim zapovedal, glede na celotno postavo, zakone in odredbe po Mojzesovi roki.
9 So Manasses led astray Juda and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, to do evil beyond all the nations which the Lord cast out from before the children of Israel.
Tako je Manáse storil Judu in prebivalcem Jeruzalema, da zaidejo in da počnejo huje kakor pogani, ki jih je Gospod uničil pred Izraelovimi otroki.
10 And the Lord spoke to Manasses, and to his people: but they listened not.
Gospod je spregovoril Manáseju in njegovemu ljudstvu, toda niso hoteli prisluhniti.
11 And the Lord brought upon them the captains of the host of the king of Assyria, and they took Manasses in bonds, and bound him in fetters, and brought him to Babylon.
Zato je Gospod nadnje privedel poveljnike vojske asirskega kralja, ki so Manáseja zajeli med trnjem in ga zvezali z okovi ter ga odvedli v Babilon.
12 And when he was afflicted, he sought the face of the Lord his God, and was greatly humbled before the face of the God of his fathers;
Ko je bil v stiski, je iskal Gospoda, svojega Boga in se silno ponižal pred Bogom svojih očetov
13 and he prayed to him: and he listened to him, and listened to his cry, and brought him back to Jerusalem to his kingdom: and Manasses knew that the Lord he is God.
in molil k njemu in izprošen je bil od njega in slišal je njegovo ponižno prošnjo in ga ponovno privedel k Jeruzalemu, v njegovo kraljestvo. Potem je Manáse spoznal, da je bil Gospod Bog.
14 And afterward he built a wall without the city of David, from the southwest southward in the valleys and at the entrance through the fish-gate, as men go out by the gate round about, even as far as Opel: and he raised it much, and set captains of the host in all the fortified cities in Juda.
Torej po tem je zgradil zid zunaj Davidovega mesta, na zahodni strani Gihona, v dolini, celo pri vhodu velikih ribjih vrat in obdal Ofel ter ga dvignil na zelo veliko višino in vojne poveljnike postavil v vsa utrjena Judova mesta.
15 And he removed the strange gods, and the graven [image] out of the house of the Lord, and all the altars which he had built in the mount of the house of the Lord, and in Jerusalem, and without the city.
Odstranil je tuje bogove in malike iz Gospodove hiše in vse oltarje, ki jih je zgradil na gori Gospodove hiše in v Jeruzalemu ter jih vrgel iz mesta.
16 And he repaired the altar of the Lord, and offered upon it a sacrifice of peace-offering and thank-offering, and he told Juda to serve the Lord God of Israel.
Popravil je Gospodov oltar in na njem žrtvoval mirovne daritve in zahvalne daritve in Judu zapovedal, da služi Gospodu, Izraelovemu Bogu.
17 Nevertheless the people still sacrificed on the high places, only to the Lord their God.
Kljub temu je ljudstvo še vedno darovalo na visokih krajih, vendar samo Gospodu, svojemu Bogu.
18 And the rest of the acts of Manasses, and his prayer to God, and the words of the seers that spoke to him in the name of the God of Israel,
Torej preostala izmed Manásejevih dejanj, njegova molitev k njegovemu Bogu in besede vidcev, ki so mu govorili v imenu Gospoda, Izraelovega Boga, glej, ta so zapisana v knjigi Izraelovih kraljev.
19 behold, [they are] in the account of his prayer; and [God] listened to him. And all his sins, and his backslidings, and the spots on which he built the high places, and set there groves and graven images, before he repented, behold, they are written in the books of the seers.
Tudi njegova molitev in kako je bil Bog izprošen od njega, ves njegov greh, njegov prekršek in kraji, na katerih si je zgradil visoke kraje ter postavil ašere in rezane podobe, preden je bil ponižan. Glej, ta so zapisana med izreki vidcev.
20 And Manasses slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the garden of his house: and Amon his son reigned in his stead.
Tako je Manáse zaspal s svojimi očeti in pokopali so ga v njegovi lastni hiši. Namesto njega je zakraljeval njegov sin Amón.
21 Amon was twenty and two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem.
Amón je bil star dvaindvajset let, ko je začel kraljevati in v Jeruzalemu je kraljeval dve leti.
22 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, as his father Manasses did: and Amon sacrificed to all the idols which his father Manasses had made, and served them.
Toda počel je to, kar je bilo zlo v Gospodovih očeh, kakor je počel njegov oče Manáse, kajti Amón je žrtvoval vsem izrezljanim podobam, ki jih je naredil njegov oče Manáse in jim služil.
23 And he was not humbled before the Lord as his father Manasses was humbled; for his son Amon abounded in transgression.
Ni se ponižal pred Gospodom, kakor se je ponižal njegov oče Manáse, temveč je Amón bolj in bolj grešil.
24 And his servants conspired against him, and killed him in his house.
In njegovi služabniki so se zarotili zoper njega in ga usmrtili v njegovi lastni hiši.
25 And the people of the land killed the men who had conspired against king Amon; and the people of the land made Josias his son king in his stead.
Toda ljudstvo dežele je usmrtilo vse tiste, ki so se zarotili zoper kralja Amóna in ljudstvo dežele je postavilo njegovega sina Jošíja za kralja namesto njega.
