2 Kings 21
1 Manasseh was twelve years old when he became king; for fifty-five years he was ruling in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Hephzi-bah.
Manašeu je bilo dvanaest godina kad se zakraljio. Pedeset i pet godina kraljevao je u Jeruzalemu. Njegova se majka zvala Hefsi-Bah.
2 He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, copying the disgusting ways of those nations whom the Lord had sent out before the children of Israel.
Činio je što je zlo u Jahvinim očima, povodeći se za gnusobama naroda što ih je Jahve protjerao pred Izraelovim sinovima.
3 He put up again the high places which had been pulled down by Hezekiah his father; he made altars for Baal, and an Asherah, as Ahab, king of Israel, had done; he was a worshipper and servant of all the stars of heaven.
Obnovio je uzvišice što ih bijaše oborio otac mu Ezekija, podigao je žrtvenik Baalu, načinio ašere kako bijaše učinio izraelski kralj Ahab; i stao se klanjati svoj vojsci nebeskoj i služiti joj.
4 And he put up altars in the house of the Lord, of which the Lord had said, In Jerusalem will I put my name.
Podigao je žrtvenike i u Domu Jahvinu, za koji bijaše rekao Jahve: “U Jeruzalemu će prebivati moje Ime zauvijek.”
5 And he put up altars for all the stars of heaven in the two outer squares of the house of the Lord.
Sagradio je žrtvenike svoj nebeskoj vojsci u oba predvorja Doma Jahvina.
6 And he made his son go through the fire, and made use of secret arts and signs for reading the future; he gave positions to those who had control of spirits and to wonder-workers; he did much evil in the eyes of the Lord, moving him to wrath.
I sinove je svoje proveo kroz oganj. Vračao je, gatao, stvorio bajače i opsjenare, učinio je premnogo zla u očima Jahve i razjarivao ga.
7 He put the image of Asherah which he had made in the house of which the Lord had said to David and to Solomon his son, In this house, and in Jerusalem, the town which I have made mine out of all the tribes of Israel, I will put my name for ever.
Dao je načiniti lik Ašere i posadio ga u Domu, za koji Jahve bijaše rekao Davidu i njegovu sinu Salomonu: “U ovom Domu i u Jeruzalemu, koji sam izabrao među svim izraelskim plemenima, postavit ću svoje Ime zauvijek.
8 And never again will I send the feet of Israel wandering from the land which I gave to their fathers; if only they will take care to do all my orders, and keep all the law which my servant Moses gave them.
Neću više dati da noga Izraelaca uzmakne iz zemlje koju sam dao u baštinu njihovim očevima, samo ako budu držali i provodili u djelo sve što sam im zapovjedio: Zakon što im ga je objavio moj sluga Mojsije.”
9 But they did not give ear; and Manasseh made them do more evil than those nations did, whom the Lord gave up to destruction before the children of Israel.
Ali oni nisu poslušali, Manaše ih je zaveo te su radili još gore nego narodi što ih je Jahve iskorijenio pred Izraelovim sinovima.
10 And the Lord said, by his servants the prophets,
Tada je Jahve ovako govorio preko slugu svojih proroka:
11 Because Manasseh, king of Judah, has done these disgusting things, doing more evil than all the Amorites before him, and making Judah do evil with his false gods,
“Zato što je judejski kralj Manaše činio te gnusobe, zato što je učinio više zla nego što su prije njega radili Amorejci i što je zaveo Judejce svojim idolima,
12 For this cause, says the Lord, the God of Israel, I will send such evil on Jerusalem and Judah that the ears of all to whom the news comes will be burning.
ovako veli Jahve, Bog Izraelov: 'Evo, učinit ću da dođe nevolja na Jeruzalem i Judeju, takva da će zazujati oba uha onima koji o njoj čuju.
13 And over Jerusalem will be stretched the line of Samaria and the weight of Ahab; Jerusalem will be washed clean as a plate is washed, and turned over on its face.
Nategnut ću nad Jeruzalemom isto uže kao nad Samarijom, isto mjerilo kao nad kućom Ahabovom; zbrisat ću Jeruzalem kao što se briše zdjela pa se tad izvrne.
14 And I will put away from me the rest of my heritage, and give them up into the hands of their haters, who will take their property and their goods for themselves;
Odbacit ću ostatke svoje baštine, predat ću ih u ruke njihovih neprijatelja; služit će za plijen i grabež svim svojim neprijateljima
15 Because they have done evil in my eyes, moving me to wrath, from the day when their fathers came out of Egypt till this day.
jer su činili što je zlo u mojim očima jer su izazivali moj gnjev od dana kada su njihovi oci izišli iz Egipta pa sve do danas.'”
16 More than this, Manasseh took the lives of upright men, till Jerusalem from one end to the other was full of blood; in addition to his sin in making Judah do evil in the eyes of the Lord.
I mnogo je nedužne krvi prolio Manaše, tako da se njome napunio Jeruzalem od jednoga kraja do drugoga, da se i ne spominje njegov grijeh kojim je zaveo Judu da čini što je zlo u očima Jahvinim.
17 Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and all he did, and his sins, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Judah?
Ostala povijest Manašeova, njegova djela i grijesi koje je počinio, zar sve to nije zapisano u knjizi Ljetopisa judejskih kraljeva?
18 So Manasseh went to rest with his fathers, and was put into the earth in the garden of his house, in the garden of Uzza; and Amon his son became king in his place.
Manaše je počinuo kraj svojih otaca i sahranjen je u vrtu svojeg dvora, u vrtu Uzinu. Sin mu Amon zakralji se mjesto njega.
19 Amon was twenty-two years old when he became king, ruling in Jerusalem for two years; his mother's name was Meshullemeth, the daughter of Haruz of Jotbah.
Amonu bijahu dvadeset i dvije godine kad je zavladao, a kraljevao je dvije godine u Jeruzalemu. Njegova se majka zvala Mešulemet, kći Harusova, i bila je iz Jotbe.
20 He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, as Manasseh his father had done.
On je činio što je zlo u očima Jahvinim, kao što je činio njegov otac Manaše.
21 He went in all the ways of his father, being a servant and worshipper of the false gods to which his father had been a servant;
U svemu je slijedio put svoga oca, služio je idolima kojima je služio i njegov otac i klanjao im se.
22 Turning away from the Lord, the God of his fathers, and not walking in his ways.
On je ostavio Jahvu, Boga svojih praotaca, i nije hodio putem Jahvinim.
23 And the servants of Amon made a secret design against him, and put the king to death in his house.
Amonovi se časnici urotiše protiv njega i ubiše kralja u dvoru.
24 But the people of the land put to death all those who had taken part in the design against the king, and made Josiah his son king in his place.
Ali je prosti puk pobio sve one koji se bijahu urotili protiv kralja Amona i na njegovo mjesto zakraljio sina mu Jošiju.
25 Now the rest of the acts which Amon did, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Judah?
Ostala povijest Amonova i sve što je činio, zar sve to nije zapisano u knjizi Ljetopisa judejskih kraljeva?
26 He was put in his last resting-place in the garden of Uzza, and Josiah his son became king in his place.
Pokopali su ga u grobnicu njegova oca, u vrtu Uzinu, a njegov sin Jošija zakralji se mjesto njega.
