Chronicles II 33
1 Manasses was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem.
Tolv år gamall var Manasse då han vart konge, og fem og femti år styrde han i Jerusalem.
2 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, according to all the abominations of the heathen, whom the Lord destroyed from before the face of the children of Israel.
Han gjorde det som vondt var i Herrens augo, etter den avstyggjelege seden hjå dei folki som Herren hadde rudt ut for Israels-borni.
3 And he returned and built the high places, which his father Ezekias had pulled down, and set up images to Baalim, and made groves, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served them.
Han bygde upp att offerhaugarne som Hizkia, far hans, hadde rive ned, og sette upp altari for Ba’als-gudarne og gjorde Astarte-bilæte og kasta seg ned for og tente heile himmelheren.
4 And he built altars in the house of the Lord, concerning which the Lord said, In Jerusalem shall be my name for ever.
Og han bygde altar i Herrens hus, endå Herren hadde sagt: «I Jerusalem skal namnet mitt vera æveleg.»
5 And he built altars to all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the Lord.
Og han bygde altar for heile himmelheren i båe tuni kring Herrens hus.
6 He also passed his children through the fire in the valley of Benennom; and he divined, and used auspices, and sorceries, and appointed those who had divining spirits, and enchanters, and wrought abundant wickedness before the Lord, to provoke him.
Han vigde sønerne sine i elden i Hinnomssons-dalen og for med spådom og trolldom og runing og fekk seg tinga folk til å mana draugar og spåvette; han gjorde mykje som vondt var i Herrens augo og harma honom.
7 And he set the graven [image], the molten [statue], the idol which he made, in the house of God, of which God had said to David and to Solomon his son, In this house, and Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, I will put my name for ever;
Og avgudsbilætet som han hadde gjort, sette han upp i Guds hus, som Gud hadde sagt um til David og Salomo, son hans: «Til dette huset og til Jerusalem, som eg hev valt ut millom alle Israels ætter, vil eg festa namnet mitt i all æva.
8 and I will not again remove the foot of Israel from the land which I gave to their fathers, if only they will take heed to do all things which I have commanded them, according to all the law and the ordinances and the judgments [given] by the hand of Moses.
Og eg vil ikkje meir lata Israel fara burt ifrå det landet som eg etla åt federne dykkar, berre dei agtar på å halda alt det som eg hev bode deim, etter heile lovi og bodi og rettarne som dei fekk ved Moses.»
9 So Manasses led astray Juda and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, to do evil beyond all the nations which the Lord cast out from before the children of Israel.
Men Manasse førde Juda og Jerusalems-buarne til å stella seg verre enn dei folki som Herren hadde øydt ut for Israels-borni.
10 And the Lord spoke to Manasses, and to his people: but they listened not.
Då tala Herren til Manasse og folket hans, men dei agta ikkje på det.
11 And the Lord brought upon them the captains of the host of the king of Assyria, and they took Manasses in bonds, and bound him in fetters, and brought him to Babylon.
So let Herren herførarne åt assyrarkongen koma yver deim, og dei fanga Manasse med krokar, lagde honom i koparlekkjor og førde honom til Babel.
12 And when he was afflicted, he sought the face of the Lord his God, and was greatly humbled before the face of the God of his fathers;
Men då han var i naud, bad han Herren, sin Gud, um nåde, og han audmykte seg djupt for fedreguden sin.
13 and he prayed to him: and he listened to him, and listened to his cry, and brought him back to Jerusalem to his kingdom: and Manasses knew that the Lord he is God.
Og då han bad til honom, let han seg blidka og høyrde bøni hans og førde honom attende til Jerusalem til kongedømet hans. Då kom Manasse i hug at Herren er Gud.
14 And afterward he built a wall without the city of David, from the southwest southward in the valleys and at the entrance through the fish-gate, as men go out by the gate round about, even as far as Opel: and he raised it much, and set captains of the host in all the fortified cities in Juda.
Sidan bygde han ein ytre mur for Davidsstaden vestanfor Gihon i dalen og burt imot Fiskeporten, so han gjekk ikring Ofel; og gjorde honom svært høg. I alle borgbyarne i Juda sette han herførarar.
15 And he removed the strange gods, and the graven [image] out of the house of the Lord, and all the altars which he had built in the mount of the house of the Lord, and in Jerusalem, and without the city.
Han førde burt dei framande gudarne og avgudsbilætet ifrå Herrens hus og alle dei altari som han hadde bygt på det berget der Herrens hus stod og i Jerusalem, og han kasta deim utanfor byen.
16 And he repaired the altar of the Lord, and offered upon it a sacrifice of peace-offering and thank-offering, and he told Juda to serve the Lord God of Israel.
Derimot reiste upp att Herrens altar, og han ofra takkoffer og lovoffer på det; og han baud Juda at dei skulde tena Herren, Israels Gud.
17 Nevertheless the people still sacrificed on the high places, only to the Lord their God.
Men folket heldt ved med å ofra på offerhaugarne, men einast til Herren, deira Gud.
18 And the rest of the acts of Manasses, and his prayer to God, and the words of the seers that spoke to him in the name of the God of Israel,
Det som elles er å fortelja um Manasse, um bøni hans til sin Gud og ordi åt dei sjåarane som tala til honom i namnet åt Herren, Israels Gud, det er uppskrive i krønikeboki åt Israels-kongarne.
19 behold, [they are] in the account of his prayer; and [God] listened to him. And all his sins, and his backslidings, and the spots on which he built the high places, and set there groves and graven images, before he repented, behold, they are written in the books of the seers.
Og um bøni hans, og korleis han vart bønhøyrd, og heile syndi og utruskapen hans og dei staderne der han bygde upp offerhaugar og sette upp Astarte-stolparne og avgudsbilæti fyrr han audmykte seg, det er uppskrive i krønikeboki åt Hozai.
20 And Manasses slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the garden of his house: and Amon his son reigned in his stead.
Og Manasse lagde seg til kvile hjå federne sine, og dei gravlagde honom ved huset hans, og Amon, son hans, vart konge i staden hans.
21 Amon was twenty and two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem.
Tvo og tjuge år gamall var Amon då han vart konge, og tvo år styrde han i Jerusalem.
22 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, as his father Manasses did: and Amon sacrificed to all the idols which his father Manasses had made, and served them.
Han gjorde det som vondt var i Herrens augo, liksom Manasse, far hans; og han ofra til alle dei bilæti som Manasse, far hans, hadde gjort, og han tente deim.
23 And he was not humbled before the Lord as his father Manasses was humbled; for his son Amon abounded in transgression.
Han audmykte seg ikkje for Herrens åsyn, soleis som Manasse, far hans, gjorde, men han, Amon, leste på seg stor skuld.
24 And his servants conspired against him, and killed him in his house.
Tenarane hans svor seg saman mot honom og drap honom i huset hans.
25 And the people of the land killed the men who had conspired against king Amon; and the people of the land made Josias his son king in his stead.
Men landsfolket drap alle deim som hadde svore seg saman imot kong Amon, og landsfolket tok Josia, son hans, til konge i staden hans.
