2 Khokhuen 33

1 Manasseh te a manghai vaengah kum hlai nit lo ca pueng tih Jerusalem ah sawmnga neh kum nga manghai.

Manasseh was twelve years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem fifty-five years.

2 BOEIPA loh Israel ca mikhmuh lamkah a haek tangtae namtom kah tueilaehkoi bangla BOEIPA mik ah boethae a saii.

And he did evil in the sight of the LORD by following the abominations of the nations that the LORD had driven out before the Israelites.

3 Mael tih a napa Hezekiah loh a palet tangtae hmuensang te a thoh. Baal hamla hmueihtuk a suem tih Asherah a saii. Vaan caempuei boeih taengah bakop tih te rhoek taengah tho a thueng.

For he rebuilt the high places that his father Hezekiah had torn down, and he raised up altars for the Baals and made Asherah poles. And he worshiped and served all the host of heaven.

4 BOEIPA loh, “Ka ming he Jerusalem ah kumhal duela om ni,” a ti lalah BOEIPA im khuiah hmueihtuk a suem.

Manasseh also built altars in the house of the LORD, of which the LORD had said, “My Name will remain in Jerusalem forever.”

5 BOEIPA im vongup rhoi ah vaan caempuei cungkuem ham hmueihtuk a suem.

In both courtyards of the house of the LORD, he built altars to all the host of heaven.

6 Anih loh a ca rhoek te kolrhawk kah hmai khuila a kat sak. Kutyaek a sawt, lung a sawt, hlang a bi, rhaitonghma neh hnam a saii. Amah veet hamla BOEIPA mik ah boethae a saii khaw khawk.

He sacrificed his sons in the fire in the Valley of Hinnom. He practiced sorcery, divination, and witchcraft, and consulted mediums and spiritists. He did great evil in the sight of the LORD, provoking Him to anger.

7 Mueimae mueithuk a saii te Pathen im ah a khueh. Te te Pathen loh David taeng neh a capa Solomon taengah khaw, “Israel koca boeih lamloh ka coelh, he im khui neh Jerusalem khuiah tah kumhal duela ka ming te ka khueh eh.

Manasseh even took the carved image he had made and set it up in the house of God, of which God had said to David and his son Solomon, “In this temple and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, I will establish My Name forever.

8 Tedae Israel kah kho te na pa rhoek taengah ka thoh khohmuen dong lamloh nong sak ham ka khoep mahpawh. Moses kut lamloh amih ka uen bangla olkhueng neh oltlueh neh laitloeknah boeih te a cungkuem la vai ham a ngaithuen mak atah,” a ti.

I will never again cause the feet of the Israelites to leave the land that I assigned to your fathers, if only they are careful to do all that I have commanded them through Moses—all the laws, statutes, and judgments.”

9 Tedae Manasseh loh namtom rhoek lakah boethae saii ham Judah neh Jerusalem khosa rhoek te kho a hmang sak. Te rhoek te BOEIPA loh Israel ca rhoek mikhmuh lamkah a mitmoeng sak coeng dae ta.

So Manasseh led the people of Judah and Jerusalem astray, so that they did greater evil than the nations that the LORD had destroyed before the Israelites.

10 BOEIPA loh Manasseh taeng neh a pilnam taengah a thui dae hnatung uh pawh.

And the LORD spoke to Manasseh and his people, but they did not listen.

11 Te dongah BOEIPA loh Assyria manghai kah caempuei mangpa rhoek te amih taengla a thak. Manasseh te mutlo hling neh a tuuk uh tih rhohum neh a khih uh phoeiah Babylon la a khuen uh.

So the LORD brought against them the military commanders of the king of Assyria, who captured Manasseh, put a hook in his nose, bound him with bronze shackles, and took him to Babylon.

12 A taengah puen a cak vaengah tah a Pathen BOEIPA mikhmuh ah nue coeng tih a napa rhoek kah Pathen mikhmuh ah muep kunyun.

And in his distress, Manasseh sought the favor of the LORD his God and earnestly humbled himself before the God of his fathers.

13 Tedae a taengla a thangthui vaengah tah anih te a rhoi tih a lungmacil te a hnatun pah. Te dongah amah khaw a ram te Jerusalem la mael. Te vaengah Manasseh loh Yahweh amah he Pathen ni tila a ming.

And when he prayed to Him, the LORD received his plea and heard his petition; so He brought him back to Jerusalem and to his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the LORD is God.

14 A hnukah tah David khopuei rhamvoel kah vongtung te khotlak kah Gihon soklong ah a sak tih nga vongka a pha. Ophel te a tuung tih muep a sang sak. Judah kah vong cak khopuei boeih ah tatthai mangpa rhoek a khueh.

After this, Manasseh rebuilt the outer wall of the City of David from west of Gihon in the valley to the entrance of the Fish Gate, and he brought it around the hill of Ophel and heightened it considerably. He also stationed military commanders in all the fortified cities of Judah.

15 Kholong pathen rhoek neh a mueimae te khaw BOEIPA im lamloh a khoe tih, BOEIPA im tlang neh Jerusalem kah a sak hmueihtuk boeih khaw khopuei rhamvoel la a voeih.

He removed the foreign gods and the idol from the house of the LORD, along with all the altars he had built on the temple mount and in Jerusalem, and he dumped them outside the city.

16 BOEIPA kah hmueihtuk te cikngae la a sak bal tih a soah rhoepnah neh uemonah hmueih te a nawn. Judah taengah khaw Israel Pathen BOEIPA taengah thothueng hamla a thui pah.

Then he restored the altar of the LORD and sacrificed peace offerings and thank offerings on it, and he told Judah to serve the LORD, the God of Israel.

17 Tedae pilnam te hmuensang ah a nawn pueng tih a Pathen BOEIPA te khaw a bawkuh.

Nevertheless, the people still sacrificed at the high places, but only to the LORD their God.

18 Manasseh kah ol noi khaw, a Pathen taengah a thangthuinah khaw, Israel Pathen BOEIPA ming neh anih taengah aka thui khohmu rhoek kah ol khaw, Israel manghai rhoek kah olka khuiah om coeng ke.

As for the rest of the acts of Manasseh, along with 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, they are indeed written in the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.

19 A thangthuinah neh a thangthui khaw, a tholhnah neh a boekoeknah boeih khaw, a soah hmuensang a sak nah hmuen te khaw, Asherah neh mueidaep a hol tih a hmai ah a kunyun khaw, Hozai kah olka khuiah a daek uh coeng ke.

His prayer and how God received his plea, as well as all his sin and unfaithfulness, and the sites where he built high places and set up Asherah poles and idols before he humbled himself, they are indeed written in the Records of the Seers.

20 Manasseh te a napa rhoek taengla a khoem uh vaengah anih te amah im ah a up uh. Te phoeiah tah a capa Amon te anih yueng la manghai.

And Manasseh rested with his fathers and was buried at his palace. And his son Amon reigned in his place.

21 Amon a manghai vaengah kum kul kum nit lo ca pueng tih Jerusalem ah kum nit manghai.

Amon was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem two years.

22 A napa Manasseh kah a saii bangla BOEIPA mik ah boethae a saii. A napa Manasseh kah a saii mueidaep cungkuem taengah Amon loh a nawn tih tho a thueng.

And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, as his father Manasseh had done. Amon served and sacrificed to all the idols that his father Manasseh had made,

23 A napa Manasseh kah a kunyun bangla BOEIPA mikhmuh ah a kunyun moenih. Amon amah lat loh dumlai a pung sak.

but he did not humble himself before the LORD as his father Manasseh had done; instead, Amon increased his guilt.

24 Te vaengah anih te a sal rhoek loh a taeng uh tih amah im ah a duek sakuh.

Then the servants of Amon conspired against him and killed him in his palace.

25 Te dongah manghai Amon aka taeng boeih te khohmuen pilnam loh a ngawn. Te phoeiah tah khohmuen pilnam loh a capa Josiah te anih yueng la a manghai sak.

But the people of the land killed all those who had conspired against King Amon, and they made his son Josiah king in his place.
