2 Tawarikh 33
1 Manasye berumur 12 tahun ketika ia menjadi raja Yehuda dan ia memerintah di Yerusalem 55 tahun lamanya.
Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty and five years in Jerusalem:
2 Ia berdosa kepada TUHAN, karena mengikuti kebiasaan-kebiasaan jahat bangsa-bangsa yang diusir TUHAN dari Kanaan pada waktu orang Israel memasuki negeri itu.
But did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, like the abominations of the heathen, whom the LORD had cast out before the children of Israel.
3 Tempat-tempat penyembahan berhala yang telah dimusnahkan Hizkia, ayahnya, dibangunnya kembali. Ia membangun mezbah-mezbah untuk beribadat kepada Baal, dan ia membuat patung-patung Dewi Asyera, serta menyembah bintang-bintang.
For he built again the high places which Hezekiah his father had broken down, and he reared up altars for Baalim, and made groves, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served them.
4 TUHAN telah berkata bahwa untuk selama-lamanya Yerusalem adalah tempat untuk beribadat kepada-Nya, tetapi di sana di Rumah TUHAN itu, Manasye telah mendirikan mezbah-mezbah untuk dewa-dewa.
Also he built altars in the house of the LORD, of which the LORD had said, In Jerusalem shall my name be for ever.
5 Di kedua halaman Rumah TUHAN itu ia mendirikan mezbah-mezbah untuk penyembahan kepada bintang-bintang.
And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the LORD.
6 Anak-anaknya dipersembahkannya sebagai kurban bakaran di Lembah Hinom. Ia juga melakukan praktek-praktek pedukunan, penujuman, ilmu gaib, dan meminta petunjuk kepada roh-roh. Ia sangat berdosa kepada TUHAN sehingga membangkitkan kemarahan TUHAN.
And he caused his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom: also he observed times, and used enchantments, and used witchcraft, and dealt with a medium, and with wizards: he wrought much evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.
7 Patung berhala ditaruhnya di dalam Rumah TUHAN, padahal mengenai tempat itu Allah telah berkata kepada Daud dan Salomo putranya, "Rumah-Ku di Yerusalem ini, yang telah Kupilih dari antara kedua belas wilayah suku Israel, adalah tempat yang Kutentukan sebagai tempat ibadat kepada-Ku untuk selama-lamanya.
And he set a carved image, the idol which he had made, in the house of God, of which God had said to David and to Solomon his son, In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen before all the tribes of Israel, will I put my name for ever:
8 Kalau umat Israel mentaati semua perintah-Ku dan menuruti hukum-hukum yang diberikan Musa hamba-Ku kepada mereka, maka Aku tidak akan membiarkan mereka diusir dari negeri yang telah Kuberikan kepada leluhur mereka."
Neither will I any more remove the foot of Israel from the land which I have appointed for your fathers; provided they will take heed to do all that I have commanded them, according to the whole law and the statutes and the ordinances by the hand of Moses.
9 Manasye menyebabkan rakyat Yehuda melakukan dosa-dosa yang lebih jahat dari dosa yang dilakukan oleh bangsa-bangsa yang diusir TUHAN dari Kanaan pada waktu umat TUHAN memasuki negeri itu.
So Manasseh made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to err, and to do worse than the heathen, whom the LORD had destroyed before the children of Israel.
10 TUHAN menegur Manasye dan rakyatnya, tetapi mereka tidak mau mendengar.
And the LORD spoke to Manasseh, and to his people: but they would not hearken.
11 Karena itu TUHAN mendatangkan para panglima tentara Asyur untuk menyerang Yehuda. Manasye ditangkap dengan kaitan, lalu dibelenggu dan diangkut ke Babel.
Therefore the LORD brought upon them the captains of the army of the king of Assyria, who took Manasseh in chains, and bound him with fetters, and carried him to Babylon.
12 Dalam penderitaannya itu ia merendahkan diri terhadap TUHAN Allahnya, dan berdoa mohon pertolongan-Nya.
And when he was in affliction, he besought the LORD his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers,
13 Allah mengabulkan doa Manasye dan mengembalikan dia ke Yerusalem untuk memerintah lagi. Karena kejadian itu Manasye menjadi yakin bahwa TUHAN adalah Allah.
And 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 he is God.
14 Kemudian Manasye mempertinggi tembok luar di bagian timur Kota Daud. Ia mulai dari satu tempat di lembah dekat mata air Gihon lalu terus ke utara sampai ke Pintu Gerbang Ikan dan bagian kota yang disebut Ofel. Di setiap kota berbenteng di Yehuda, ia menempatkan juga seorang panglima.
Now after this he built a wall outside the city of David, on the west side of Gihon, in the valley, even to the entrance at the fish gate, and surrounded Ophel, and raised it up a very great height, and put captains of war in all the fortified cities of Judah.
15 Ia menyingkirkan patung-patung dewa bangsa lain serta berhala-berhala yang telah diletakkannya di Rumah TUHAN. Ia membongkar mezbah-mezbah berhala yang berada di bukit Rumah TUHAN, dan di tempat-tempat lain di Yerusalem. Semuanya itu dibawanya ke luar kota lalu dibuang.
And he took away the foreign gods, and the idol out of the house of the LORD, and all the altars that he had built in the mount of the house of the LORD, and in Jerusalem, and cast them out of the city.
16 Kemudian ia memperbaiki mezbah tempat ibadat kepada TUHAN, lalu mempersembahkan di situ kurban perdamaian dan kurban syukur. Semua orang Yehuda disuruhnya beribadat kepada TUHAN Allah Israel.
And he repaired the altar of the LORD, and sacrificed on it peace offerings and thank offerings, and commanded Judah to serve the LORD God of Israel.
17 Rakyat masih mempersembahkan kurban di tempat-tempat penyembahan lain, tetapi persembahan itu adalah untuk TUHAN.
Nevertheless the people sacrificed still in the high places, yet to the LORD their God only.
18 Kisah lainnya mengenai Manasye, dan mengenai doanya kepada Allah, serta pesan-pesan Allah yang disampaikan kepadanya oleh nabi-nabi atas nama TUHAN, Allah Israel, semuanya sudah dicatat di dalam buku Sejarah Raja-raja Israel.
Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and his prayer to his God, and the words of the seers that spoke to him in the name of the LORD God of Israel, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel.
19 Dalam buku Sejarah Nabi-nabi sudah dicatat juga doa Manasye dan jawaban Allah atas doa itu, serta kisah tentang dosa-dosanya sebelum ia bertobat, tempat-tempat penyembahan berhala dan patung-patung Dewi Asyera yang dibuatnya, dan berhala-berhala yang disembahnya.
His prayer also, and how God was entreated by him, and all his sin, and his trespass, and the places in which he built high places, and set up groves and graven images, before he was humbled: behold, they are written among the sayings of the seers.
20 Manasye meninggal dan dimakamkan di istana. Amon putranya menjadi raja menggantikan dia.
So Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they buried him in his own house: and Amon his son reigned in his stead.
21 Amon berumur 22 tahun ketika ia menjadi raja Yehuda, dan ia memerintah di Yerusalem dua tahun lamanya.
Amon was two and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned two years in Jerusalem.
22 Seperti ayahnya ia pun berdosa kepada TUHAN. Ia menyembah berhala-berhala yang disembah ayahnya dan mempersembahkan kurban kepada berhala-berhala itu.
But he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, as did Manasseh his father: for Amon sacrificed to all the carved images which Manasseh his father had made, and served them;
23 Tetapi, berbeda dengan ayahnya, Amon tidak merendahkan diri dan tidak kembali kepada TUHAN; ia malahan lebih berdosa dari ayahnya.
And humbled not himself before the LORD, as Manasseh his father had humbled himself; but Amon trespassed more and more.
24 Pegawai-pegawai Raja Amon berkomplot melawan dia dan membunuhnya di istana.
And his servants conspired against him, and slew him in his own house.
25 Tetapi rakyat Yehuda membunuh para pembunuh Raja Amon itu, lalu mengangkat Yosia anaknya menjadi raja.
But the people of the land slew all them that had conspired against king Amon; and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his stead.
