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 when he became king, and he reigned in for Jerusalem fifty-five years.

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

He did evil in the Lord's sight by following the disgusting religious practices 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.

He rebuilt the high places that his father Hezekiah had destroyed, and he made altars for the Baals and set up Asherah poles. He worshiped the sun, moon, and stars and served them.

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

He built altars in the Lord's Temple, about which the Lord had said, “I shall be honored in Jerusalem forever.”

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

He built these altars to worship the sun, moon, and stars in both courtyards of the Lord's Temple.

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 children by burning them to death in the Valley of Ben-hinnom. He practiced sorcery, divination, and witchcraft, and visited mediums and spiritists. He did a great deal of evil in the Lord's sight, making him angry.

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.

He took a pagan idol he had made and set it up in God's Temple, about which God had told David and his son Solomon, “I will be honored forever in this Temple and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen from all the tribes of Israel.

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.

If the Israelites are careful to follow everything I have instructed them to do—all the laws, commandments, and regulations, given through Moses—then I will not make them leave the land I granted your forefathers.”

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.

But Manasseh seduced Judah and the people of Jerusalem, leading them to commit even worse sins than the nations the Lord had destroyed before Israelites.

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

The Lord warned Manasseh and his people, but they ignored him.

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 sent the armies of Assyria with their commanders to attack them. The Assyrians captured Manasseh, put a hook through his nose, put bronze shackles on him, and took him away 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.

In his misery, asked the Lord God for help, repenting for his arrogance before the God of his forefathers.

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.

He prayed and prayed, and the Lord listened to his pleadings, so the Lord brought Manasseh back to Jerusalem and to his kingdom. Then Manasseh was convinced 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 Fish Gate, and around the hill of Ophel, and made it much higher. He also assigned army commanders to all the fortified towns 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 disposed of the foreign gods and the idol from the Lord's Temple, together with all the altars he had built on the Temple hill and in Jerusalem, throwing all of 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 friendship offerings and thank offerings on it, and he instructed Judah to worship the Lord, the God of Israel.

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

But the people still sacrificed on 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.

The rest of what Manasseh did, along with his prayer to his God and what he was told by the seers who spoke on the Lord's behalf are recorded in the Book 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 answered him, as well as all his sins and unfaithfulness, and where he built high places and set up Asherah poles and idols before he admitted he was wrong, are recorded 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.

Manasseh died and was buried at his palace. His son Amon took over as king.

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

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

He did evil in the Lord's sight just as his father Manasseh had. Amon worshiped and sacrificed to all the idols 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.

However, he did not admit his pride before the Lord as his father Manasseh had done—in fact Amon made his guilt even worse.

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

Then Amon's officials plotted 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 everyone who had plotted against King Amon, and they made his son Josiah king.
