2 Kralji 21
1 Manáse je bil star dvanajst let, ko je začel kraljevati in v Jeruzalemu je kraljeval petinpetdeset let. Ime njegove matere je bilo Hefcí Bah.
Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Hephzibah.
2 Počel je to, kar je bilo zlo v Gospodovih očeh, po ogabnostih poganov, ki jih je Gospod pregnal pred Izraelovimi otroki.
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 Kajti ponovno je zgradil visoke kraje, ki jih je njegov oče Ezekíja uničil, vzdignil oltarje za Báala in naredil ašero, kakor je storil Izraelov kralj Aháb, in oboževal vso vojsko neba in jim služil.
For he built again the high places which Hezekiah his father had destroyed; and he raised up altars for Baal, and made an Asherah, as Ahab king of Israel did, and worshipped all the army of the sky, and served them.
4 Zgradil je oltarje v Gospodovi hiši, o kateri je Gospod rekel: »V Jeruzalemu bom postavil svoje ime.«
He built altars in the LORD’s house, of which the LORD said, “I will put my name in Jerusalem.”
5 Zgradil je oltarje za vso vojsko neba na dveh dvorih Gospodove hiše.
He built altars for all the army of the sky in the two courts of the LORD’s house.
6 Svojega sina je primoral iti skozi ogenj, obeleževal čase, uporabljal izrekanje urokov, postopal z osebnimi duhovi in čarovniki. Počel je mnogo zlobnosti v Gospodovih očeh, da ga je izzival do jeze.
He made his son to pass through the fire, practised sorcery, used enchantments, 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 Postavil je rezano podobo ašere, ki jo je naredil v hiši, o kateri je Gospod rekel Davidu in njegovemu sinu Salomonu: »V tej hiši in v Jeruzalemu, ki sem ga izbral izmed vseh Izraelovih rodov, bom svoje ime postavil na veke.
He set the engraved image of Asherah that he had made in the house of which the LORD 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 Niti ne bom več storil, da se stopala Izraela premaknejo iz dežele, ki sem jo dal njihovim očetom, samo če bodo obeleževali, da storijo glede na vse, kar sem jim zapovedal in glede na vso postavo, ki jim jo je zapovedal moj služabnik Mojzes.«
I will not cause the feet of Israel to wander any more out of the land which I gave their fathers, if only they will observe to do according to all that I have commanded them, and according to all the law that my servant Moses commanded them.”
9 Vendar niso prisluhnili in Manáse jih je zapeljal, da so storili več zla, kakor so ga storili narodi, ki jih je Gospod uničil pred Izraelovimi otroki.
But they didn’t listen, and Manasseh seduced them to do that which is evil more than the nations did whom the LORD destroyed before the children of Israel.
10 Gospod je govoril po svojih služabnikih prerokih, rekoč:
The LORD spoke by his servants the prophets, saying,
11 »Ker je Judov kralj Manáse storil te ogabnosti in je zlobno počel, nad vsem, kar so počeli Amoréjci, ki so bili pred njim, in tudi Juda je pripravil, da greši z njegovimi maliki;
“Because Manasseh king of Judah has done these abominations, and has done wickedly above all that the Amorites did, who were before him, and has also made Judah to sin with his idols;
12 zato tako govori Gospod, Izraelov Bog: ›Glej, nad Jeruzalem in Juda prinašam takšno zlo, da kdorkoli bo slišal o tem, mu bo zvenelo [v] obeh njegovih ušesih.
therefore the LORD the God of Israel says, ‘Behold, I will bring such evil on Jerusalem and Judah that whoever hears of it, both his ears will tingle.
13 Nad Jeruzalemom bom iztegnil vrvico Samarije in grezilo Ahábove hiše. Jeruzalem bom izbrisal, kakor človek obriše posodo, obriše jo in jo obrne narobe.
I will stretch over Jerusalem the line of Samaria, and the plumb line of Ahab’s house; and I will wipe Jerusalem as a man wipes a dish, wiping it and turning it upside down.
14 Zapustil bom ostanek svoje dediščine, izročil jih bom v roko njihovih sovražnikov. Postali bodo plen in ukradeno blago vsem svojim sovražnikom,
I will cast off the remnant of my inheritance and deliver them into the hands of their enemies. They will become a prey and a plunder to all their enemies,
15 ker so počeli to, kar je bilo zlo v mojem pogledu in izzivali so me do jeze od dne, ko so njihovi očetje prišli iz Egipta, celo do tega dne.‹«
because they have done that which is evil in my sight, and have provoked me to anger since the day their fathers came out of Egypt, even to this day.’”
16 Poleg tega je Manáse prelil veliko nedolžne krvi, dokler ni Jeruzalema napolnil od enega konca do drugega, poleg njegovega greha, s katerim je Judu storil, da je grešil s početjem tega, kar je bilo zlo v Gospodovih očeh.
Moreover Manasseh shed innocent blood very much, until he had filled Jerusalem from one end to another; in addition to his sin with which he made Judah to sin, in doing that which was evil in the LORD’s sight.
17 Torej preostala izmed Manásejevih dejanj in vse, kar je storil in njegov greh, ki ga je zagrešil, mar niso zapisana v kroniški knjigi Judovih kraljev?
Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and all that he did, and his sin that he sinned, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
18 Manáse je zaspal s svojimi očeti in pokopan je bil na vrtu svoje lastne hiše, na Uzájevem vrtu. Namesto njega je zakraljeval njegov sin Amón.
Manasseh slept with his fathers, and was buried in the garden of his own house, in the garden of Uzza; and Amon his son reigned in his place.
19 Amón je bil star dvaindvajset let, ko je začel kraljevati in v Jeruzalemu je kraljeval dve leti. Ime njegove matere je bilo Mešulémeta, hči Harúca iz Jotbe.
Amon was twenty-two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned two years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Meshullemeth the daughter of Haruz of Jotbah.
20 Počel je to, kar je bilo zlo v Gospodovih očeh, kakor je počel njegov oče Manáse.
He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, as Manasseh his father did.
21 Hodil je po vsej poti, po kateri je hodil njegov oče, služil malikom, ki jim je služil njegov oče in jih oboževal
He walked in all the ways that his father walked in, and served the idols that his father served, and worshipped them;
22 ter zapustil Gospoda, Boga svojih očetov in ni hodil po Gospodovi poti.
and he abandoned the LORD, the God of his fathers, and didn’t walk in the way of the LORD.
23 Amónovi služabniki so se zarotili zoper njega in kralja usmrtili v njegovi lastni hiši.
The servants of Amon conspired against him, and put the king to death in his own house.
24 Ljudstvo dežele je usmrtilo vse tiste, ki so se zarotili zoper kralja Amóna in ljudstvo dežele je namesto njega postavilo za kralja njegovega sina Jošíja.
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.
25 Torej preostala izmed Amónovih dejanj, ki jih storil, mar niso zapisana v kroniški knjigi Judovih kraljev?
Now the rest of the acts of Amon which he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
26 Pokopan je bil v svojem mavzoleju v Uzájevem vrtu in namesto njega je zakraljeval njegov sin Jošíja.
He was buried in his tomb in the garden of Uzza, and Josiah his son reigned in his place.
