2 Kings 21

1 Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Hephzibah.

Manasye berumur 12 tahun ketika ia menjadi raja Yehuda, dan ia memerintah di Yerusalem 55 tahun lamanya. Ibunya bernama Hefzibah.

2 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.

Manasye berdosa kepada TUHAN, karena mengikuti kebiasaan-kebiasaan jahat bangsa-bangsa yang diusir TUHAN dari Kanaan pada waktu orang Israel memasuki negeri itu.

3 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 worshiped all the army of the sky, and served them.

Tempat-tempat penyembahan dewa yang telah dimusnahkan Hizkia ayahnya dibangunnya kembali. Ia membangun mezbah-mezbah untuk beribadat kepada Baal, dan membuat patung Dewi Asyera, seperti yang dilakukan oleh Ahab raja Israel. Manasye juga menyembah bintang-bintang.

4 He built altars in the LORD’s house, of which the LORD said, “I will put my name in Jerusalem.”

TUHAN telah berkata bahwa Yerusalem adalah tempat kehadiran-Nya dan tempat ibadat kepada-Nya, tetapi di sana di Rumah TUHAN, Manasye telah mendirikan mezbah-mezbah untuk dewa-dewa.

5 He built altars for all the army of the sky in the two courts of the LORD’s house.

Di kedua halaman Rumah TUHAN itu ia mendirikan mezbah-mezbah untuk penyembahan kepada bintang-bintang.

6 He made his son to pass through the fire, practiced 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.

Anaknya dipersembahkannya sebagai kurban bakaran. Manasye juga melakukan praktek-praktek kedukunan, penujuman, ilmu gaib, dan meminta petunjuk kepada roh-roh. Ia sangat berdosa kepada TUHAN sehingga membangkitkan kemarahan-Nya.

7 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;

Lambang Dewi Asyera ditaruhnya di dalam Rumah TUHAN, padahal mengenai tempat itu TUHAN telah berkata kepada Daud dan Salomo putranya, "Rumah-Ku dan kota Yerusalem ini, yang telah Kupilih dari antara wilayah kedua belas suku Israel, adalah tempat yang Kutentukan sebagai tempat ibadat kepada-Ku.

8 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.”

Dan 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."

9 But they did not 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.

Tetapi orang Yehuda tidak taat kepada TUHAN, dan Manasye malah menyebabkan mereka melakukan dosa-dosa yang lebih jahat dari dosa yang dilakukan oleh bangsa-bangsa yang diusir TUHAN dari Kanaan pada waktu umat Israel memasuki negeri itu.

10 The LORD spoke by his servants the prophets, saying,

Sebab itu melalui para nabi, hamba-hamba TUHAN, TUHAN berkata,

11 “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;

"Raja Manasye jahat sekali. Perbuatannya jauh lebih jahat dari perbuatan orang Kanaan. Dengan berhala-berhala yang dibuatnya, ia menyebabkan orang Yehuda berdosa.

12 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.

Karena itu, Aku, TUHAN Allah yang disembah oleh umat Israel, akan mendatangkan bencana yang sangat besar ke atas Yerusalem dan Yehuda sehingga setiap orang yang mendengar tentang hal itu akan terkejut.

13 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.

Yerusalem akan Kuhukum seperti Aku menghukum Samaria dan Ahab raja Israel serta keturunannya. Yerusalem akan Kusapu bersih seperti piring yang telah dicuci dan dibalikkan.

14 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,

Penduduknya yang masih tertinggal akan Kubiarkan menjadi mangsa bagi musuh-musuhnya, yang akan melucuti mereka dan menjarahi negeri mereka.

15 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.’”

Semuanya itu akan Kulakukan terhadap umat-Ku karena mereka berdosa kepada-Ku dan membangkitkan kemarahan-Ku sejak leluhur mereka keluar dari Mesir sampai pada hari ini."

16 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.

Selain membuat orang Yehuda berdosa kepada TUHAN dengan menyembah berhala, Manasye juga membunuh sangat banyak orang yang tak bersalah sehingga darah mengalir di mana-mana di Yerusalem.

17 Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and all that he did, and his sin that he sinned, are not they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

Kisah lainnya mengenai Raja Manasye dan mengenai dosa-dosa yang dilakukannya, dicatat dalam buku Sejarah Raja-raja Yehuda.

18 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.

Manasye meninggal dan dikuburkan di taman istana, yaitu taman Uza. Amon putranya menjadi raja menggantikan dia.

19 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.

Amon berumur 22 tahun ketika ia menjadi raja Yehuda dan ia memerintah di Yerusalem dua tahun lamanya. Ibunya bernama Mesulemet anak Harus, orang Yotba.

20 He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, as Manasseh his father did.

Seperti ayahnya, ia pun berdosa kepada TUHAN.

21 He walked in all the ways that his father walked in, and served the idols that his father served, and worshiped them;

Ia meniru perbuatan-perbuatan ayahnya, dan menyembah berhala-berhala yang disembah ayahnya.

22 and he abandoned the LORD, the God of his fathers, and did not walk in the way of the LORD.

Ia tidak hidup menurut kemauan TUHAN, bahkan meninggalkan TUHAN, Allah yang disembah oleh leluhurnya.

23 The servants of Amon conspired against him, and put the king to death in his own house.

Pegawai-pegawai Raja Amon berkomplot melawan dia dan membunuhnya di istana.

24 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.

Tetapi rakyat Yehuda membunuh para pembunuh Raja Amon itu, lalu mengangkat Yosia anaknya, menjadi raja.

25 Now the rest of the acts of Amon which he did, are not they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

Kisah lainnya mengenai Amon dicatat dalam buku Sejarah Raja-raja Yehuda.

26 He was buried in his tomb in the garden of Uzza, and Josiah his son reigned in his place.

Amon dikuburkan di kuburan di taman Uza. Yosia anaknya menjadi raja menggantikan dia.
