2 Kings 21

1 Manasseh was twelve years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for fifty-five years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Hephzibah.

Labingdalawang taong gulang si Manasses nang magsimula siyang maghari; naghari siya ng limampu't limang taon sa Jerusalem. Hefzibas ang pangalan ng kaniyang ina.

2 And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, in accord with the idols of the nations that the Lord destroyed before the face of the sons of Israel.

Ginawa niya kung ano ang masama sa paningin ni Yahweh, gaya ng mga nakapandidiring mga bagay ng mga bansa na pinalayas ni Yahweh sa harapan ng bayan ng Israel.

3 And he turned away. And he built up the high places that his father, Hezekiah, had destroyed. And he erected altars to Baal, and he made sacred groves, just as Ahab, the king of Israel, had done. And he adored the entire army of heaven, and he served them.

Dahil itinayo niya muli ang mga dambana na winasak ng kaniyang ama na si Hezekias, at nagtayo siya ng mga altar para kay Baal, gumawa ng poste ni Asera, gaya ng ginawa ni Ahab na hari ng Israel, at lumuhod siya sa lahat ng mga bituin ng langit at sinamba ang mga ito.

4 And he constructed altars in the house of the Lord, about which the Lord said: “In Jerusalem, I will place my name.”

Nagtayo si Manasses ng paganong mga altar sa tahanan ni Yahweh, bagaman inutos ni Yahweh, “Sa Jerusalem mananatili ang aking pangalan magpakailanman.”

5 And he constructed altars, for the entire army of heaven, within the two courts of the temple of the Lord.

Nagtayo siya ng mga altar para sa lahat ng mga bituin ng kalangitan sa dalawang patyo ng tahanan ni Yahweh.

6 And he led his son through fire. And he used divinations, and observed omens, and appointed soothsayers, and multiplied diviners, so that he did evil before the Lord, and provoked him.

Hinandog niya ang kaniyang anak bilang sinunog na handog sa apoy, nagsagawa siya ng panghuhula at salamangka, at kumonsulta sa mga nakipagusap sa mga patay at sa mga nakipagusap sa mga espiritu. Gumawa siya ng labis na kasamaan sa paningin ni Yahweh, at pinukaw niya ang Diyos na magalit.

7 Also, he set up an idol, of the sacred grove that he had made, in the temple of the Lord, about which the Lord said to David, and to his son Solomon: “In this temple, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, I will place my name forever.

Ang inukit niyang imahe ni Asera na ginawa niya, ay inilagay niya sa tahanan ni Yahweh. Ang tahanan na ito ang lugar kung saan nangusap si Yahweh kay David at Solomon na kaniyang anak; na sinasabing, “Sa tahanan na ito at sa Jerusalem, na aking pinili mula sa lahat ng mga tribo ng Israel, mananatili ang aking pangalan magpakailanman.

8 And I will no longer cause the feet of Israel to be moved from the land that I gave to their fathers: if only they will take care to do all that I have instructed them, and the entire law that my servant Moses commanded to them.”

Hindi ko hahayaang maligaw ang landas ng Israel mula sa lupain na aking binigay sa kanilang mga ninuno, kung susundin lang nila ng mabuti ang lahat ng inutos ko sa kanila, at sundin ang lahat ng batas na inutos sa kanila ng aking lingkod na si Moises.”

9 Yet truly, they did not listen. Instead, they were seduced by Manasseh, so that they did evil, more so than the nations that the Lord crushed before the face of the sons of Israel.

Pero hindi nakinig ang mga tao, at inakay sila ni Manasses na gumawa ng higit pang kasamaan kaysa sa mga bansa na winasak ni Yahweh sa harapan ng bayan ng Israel.

10 And so the Lord spoke, by the hand of his servants, the prophets, saying:

Kaya nangusap si Yahweh sa pamamagitan ng kaniyang mga lingkod na mga propeta, na sinasabing,

11 “Since Manasseh, the king of Judah, has committed these wicked abominations, beyond all that the Amorites before him have done, and also has caused Judah to sin by his defilements,

“Dahil gumawa ng karumal-dumal na mga bagay si Manasses ang hari ng Juda, at kumilos ng may kasamaan na higit pa sa lahat ng ginawa ng mga Amorita na kaniyang sinundan, at dinulot ding magkasala ang Juda kasama ng kaniyang mga diyus-diyosan,”

12 because of this, thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Behold, I will lead evils over Jerusalem and over Judah, such that, whoever will hear of these things, both his ears will ring.

kaya sinasabi ni Yahweh, ang Diyos ng Israel, “Tingnan ninyo, malapit na akong magpadala ng labis na kapahamakan sa Jerusalem at Juda na kung sinuman ang makarinig nito, kikilabutan ang pareho niyang tainga.

13 And I will extend the measuring line of Samaria over Jerusalem, with the scale of the house of Ahab. And I will erase Jerusalem, just as writing tablets are usually erased. And after erasing, I will turn it and repeatedly drag a stylus over its surface.

Ilalatag ko sa ibabaw ng Jerusalem ang panukat na linya na ginamit laban sa Samaria, at ang panghulog na ginamit laban sa bahay ni Ahab; pupunasan at lilinisin ko ang Jerusalem, gaya ng pagpupunas ng pinggan ng isang tao, pinupunasan ito at pagkatapos ay itinataob ito.

14 And truly, I will send away the remnants of my inheritance, and I will deliver them into the hands of their enemies. And they will be devastated and plundered by all their adversaries.

Itatapon ko ang mga nalalabi ng aking mana at ibibigay sila sa kamay ng kanilang mga kaaway. Magiging biktima sila ng pandarambong para sa lahat ng kanilang mga kaaway,

15 For they have done evil before me, and they have persevered in provoking me, from the day when their fathers departed from Egypt, even to this day.

dahil ginawa nila kung ano ang masama sa aking paningin, at pinukaw ako para magalit, simula nang lumabas ang kanilang mga ninuno sa Ehipto, hanggang sa araw na ito.”

16 Moreover, Manasseh also has shed an exceedingly great amount of innocent blood, until he filled Jerusalem even to the mouth, aside from his sins by which he caused Judah to sin, so that they did evil before the Lord.”

Higit pa roon, nagpadanak si Manasses ng labis na inosenteng dugo, pinuno niya ng kamatayan ang magkabilang dulo ng Jerusalem. Karagdagan pa ito sa kasalanan na pinilit niyang gawin ng Juda, sa paggawa ng masama sa paningin ni Yahweh.

17 Now the rest of the words of Manasseh, and all that he did, and his sin that he sinned, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah?

Para sa iba pang mga bagay tungkol kay Manasses, lahat ng kaniyang ginawa, at ang kasalanan na kaniyang ginawa, hindi ba nakasulat ang mga ito sa Aklat ng mga Kaganapan sa buhay ng mga Hari ng Juda?

18 And Manasseh slept with his fathers, and he was buried in the garden of his own house, in the garden of Uzza. And Amon, his son, reigned in his place.

Nahimlay si Manasses kasama ng kaniyang mga ninuno at inilibing sa hardin ng sarili niyang bahay, sa hardin ni Uza. Ang kaniyang anak na si Amon ang pumalit sa kaniya bilang hari.

19 Amon was twenty-two years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for two years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Meshullemeth, the daughter of Haruz, from Jotbah.

Dalawampu't dalawang taong gulang si Amon nang magsimula siyang maghari; naghari siya ng dalawang taon sa Jerusalem. Meshulemet ang pangalan ng kaniyang ina, na anak ni Haruz ng Jotba.

20 And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, just as his father, Manasseh, had done.

Ginawa niya kung ano ang masama sa paningin ni Yahweh, gaya ng ginawa ng kaniyang ama na si Manasses.

21 And he walked in all the ways in which his father had walked. And he served the unclean things that his father had served, and he adored them.

Sinunod ni Amon ang lahat ng landas na tinahak ng kaniyang ama at sinamba ang mga diyus-diyosan na sinamba ng kaniyang ama, at lumuhod sa kanila.

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

Iniwan niya si Yahweh, ang Diyos ng kaniyang mga ama, at hindi lumakad sa daan ni Yahweh.

23 And his servants undertook treachery against him. And they killed the king in his own house.

Nagbanta ang mga lingkod ni Amon laban sa kaniya at pinatay ang hari sa sarili niyang tahanan.

24 But the people of the land slew all those who had conspired against king Amon. And they appointed for themselves Josiah, his son, as king in his place.

Pero pinatay ng mga mamamayan ng lupain ang lahat ng nagkaisa laban kay Haring Amon, at ginawa nilang hari si Josias ang anak ng hari bilang kaniyang kapalit.

25 But the rest of the words of Amon, which he did, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah?

Para sa iba pang mga bagay tungkol sa ginawa ni Amon, hindi ba nakasulat ang mga ito sa Aklat ng mga Kaganapan sa Buhay ng mga Hari ng Juda?

26 And they buried him in his sepulcher, in the garden of Uzza. And his son, Josiah, reigned in his place.

Nilibing siya ng mga tao sa kaniyang puntod sa hardin ni Uza, at si Josias na kaniyang anak ang pumalit sa kaniya bilang hari.
