< 2 Kings 21 >

1 Twelve years old, was Manasseh when he began to reign, and, fifty-five years, reigned he in Jerusalem, —and the name of his mother was Hephzibah.
Na rĩrĩ, Manase aarĩ wa mĩaka ikũmi na ĩĩrĩ rĩrĩa aatuĩkire mũthamaki, nake agĩathana arĩ Jerusalemu mĩaka mĩrongo ĩtano na ĩtano. Nyina eetagwo Hefiziba.
2 And he did the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, —after the abominable practices of the nations, whom Yahweh had dispossessed from before the sons of Israel.
Agĩĩka maũndũ mooru maitho-inĩ ma Jehova, akĩrũmĩrĩra mĩtugo ĩrĩ magigi ya ndũrĩrĩ iria Jehova aaingatĩte ciehere mbere ya Isiraeli.
3 He again built the high places, which Hezekiah his father had destroyed, —and reared altars to Baal, and made a Sacred Stem, as did Ahab, king of Israel, and bowed down to all the army of the heavens, and served them.
Nĩaakire rĩngĩ kũndũ kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru, o kũrĩa ithe Hezekia aanangĩte; ningĩ agĩaka igongona cia Baali na agĩaka itugĩ cia Ashera, o ta ũrĩa Ahabu mũthamaki wa Isiraeli eekĩte. Nĩainamĩrĩire mbũtũ cia igũrũ ciothe na agĩcihooya.
4 And he used to build altars in the house of Yahweh, —concerning which Yahweh had said, —In Jerusalem, will I put my Name.
Agĩaka magongona thĩinĩ wa hekarũ ya Jehova, o ĩrĩa Jehova oigĩte ũhoro wayo atĩrĩ, “Thĩinĩ wa Jerusalemu nĩkuo ngaatũũria rĩĩtwa rĩakwa.”
5 And he built altars to all the army of the heavens, —in the two courts of the house of Yahweh;
Thĩinĩ wa nja cierĩ cia hekarũ ya Jehova, agĩaka igongona cia mbũtũ ciothe cia igũrũ.
6 and caused his son to pass through the fire, and practised hidden arts and used divination, and dealt with a familiar spirit and wizards, —he exceeded in doing the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, provoking [him] to anger;
Nake akĩruta mũriũ wake arĩ igongona rĩa njino, na nĩaragũraga na agatuĩria nyoni, na akarogana, na agathiiaga kũrĩ andũ arĩa marĩ maroho ma kũragũra. Agĩĩka maũndũ maingĩ mooru maitho-inĩ ma Jehova, nginya akĩmũrakaria.
7 and he set the image of the Sacred Stem which he had made, —in the house, of which Yahweh had said unto David, and unto Solomon his son, In this house, and in Jerusalem which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, will I put my Name, unto times age-abiding;
Nĩooire mũhianano mũicũhie ũrĩa aathondekete wa gĩtugĩ kĩa Ashera, akĩũiga hekarũ thĩinĩ, o nyũmba ĩyo Jehova eerĩte Daudi na mũriũ Solomoni ũhoro wayo atĩrĩ, “Nĩngatũũria rĩĩtwa rĩakwa nginya tene thĩinĩ wa hekarũ ĩno na thĩinĩ wa Jerusalemu, kũrĩa thuurĩte kuuma mĩhĩrĩga-inĩ yothe ya Isiraeli.
8 and I will not again let the foot of Israel wander away from the soil which I gave unto their fathers. Only if they take heed to do according to all that I have commanded them, even to the extent of all the law which, my servant Moses, commanded them.
Ndirĩ hĩndĩ ĩngĩ ngaatũma magũrũ ma andũ a Isiraeli morũũre, moime bũrũri ũrĩa ndaaheire maithe mao ma tene, mamenyagĩrĩre mekage maũndũ marĩa mothe ndĩmathĩte, na marũmie Watho ũrĩa maaheirwo nĩ Musa ndungata yakwa.”
9 But they hearkened not, —and Manasseh led them astray to do the thing that was wicked, more than the nations which Yahweh destroyed from before the sons of Israel.
No andũ acio matiigana kũigua. Manase akĩmahĩtithia, nĩ ũndũ wa ũguo magĩĩka maũndũ mooru gũkĩra ndũrĩrĩ iria Jehova aaniinĩire mbere ya andũ a Isiraeli.
10 Yahweh therefore spake through his servants the prophets saying—
Jehova oigire na tũnua twa ndungata ciake cia anabii atĩrĩ:
11 Because Manasseh king of Judah hath made these abominations—hath done that which is wicked, more than all which the Amorites did who were before him, and hath caused, even Judah, to sin with his manufactured gods,
“Manase mũthamaki wa Juda nĩekĩte mehia marĩ magigi. Ageeka maũndũ mooru gũkĩra Aamori arĩa maarĩ mbere yake, na agatongoria andũ a Juda kwĩhia nĩ ũndũ wa kũhooya mĩhianano yake.
12 therefore—Thus, saith Yahweh, God of Israel, Behold me! bringing in calamity upon Jerusalem and Judah, —that, whosoever heareth thereof, both his ears, will tingle;
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jehova Ngai wa Isiraeli ekuuga ũũ: Nĩngũrehere Jerusalemu na Juda mwanangĩko ũrĩa ũgaatũma andũ arĩa makaigua ũhoro ũcio mararakwo nĩ matũ mao.
13 And I will stretch over Jerusalem, the line of Samaria, and the plummet of the house of Ahab, —and will wipe out Jerusalem, as one wipeth out a dish, wiping it and turning it upside down;
Nĩngatambũrũkĩria Jerusalemu rũrigi rwa gũthima rũrĩa rwahũthĩrirwo rwa gũũkĩrĩra Samaria na kabirũ karĩa kahũthĩrirwo gũũkĩrĩra nyũmba ya Ahabu. Nĩngaherithia na niine andũ a Jerusalemu o ta ũrĩa mũndũ ahuuraga thaani, akamĩkurumania.
14 And will abandon the remnant of mine inheritance, and deliver them into the hand of their enemies, —and they shall become a prey and a plunder, to all their enemies:
Nĩngatiganĩria matigari ma igai rĩakwa, na ndĩmaneane kũrĩ thũ ciao. Magaatahwo na matunywo indo ciao nĩ thũ ciao ciothe,
15 Because they have done the thing that is wicked in mine eyes, and have become such as to provoke me to anger, —from the day when their fathers came forth out of Egypt, even until this day.
tondũ nĩmekĩte maũndũ mooru maitho-inĩ makwa, makaandakaria, kuuma mũthenya ũrĩa maithe mao moimire Misiri nginyagia ũmũthĩ.”
16 Moreover also, innocent blood, did Manasseh shed in great abundance, till he had filled Jerusalem, from one end to the other, besides his committing the sins which he caused, Judah, to commit, in doing the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh.
Ningĩ Manase nĩaitire thakame nyingĩ mũno ya andũ matehĩtie, ĩkĩiyũra Jerusalemu kuuma gĩturi kĩmwe nginya kĩrĩa kĩngĩ, tũtegũtara mehia marĩa aatũmĩte andũ a Juda meehie, nĩ ũndũ wa ũguo magĩĩka maũndũ mooru maitho-inĩ ma Jehova.
17 Now, the rest of the story of Manasseh, and all that he did, and his sin that he committed, are, they, not written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
Ha ũhoro wa maũndũ marĩa mangĩ makoniĩ wathani wa Manase, na marĩa mothe eekire, hamwe na mehia marĩa eekire-rĩ, githĩ matiandĩkĩtwo mabuku-inĩ ma mahinda ma athamaki a Juda?
18 And 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 stead.
Manase akĩhurũka hamwe na maithe make, na agĩthikwo mũgũnda-inĩ wake wa ũthamaki, nĩguo mũgũnda wa Uza. Nake mũriũ Amoni agĩtuĩka mũthamaki ithenya rĩake.
19 Twenty-two years old, was Amon when he began to reign, and, two years, reigned he in Jerusalem, —and, his mother’s name, was Meshullemeth daughter of Haruz, of Jotbah.
Amoni aarĩ wa mĩaka mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ĩĩrĩ rĩrĩa aatuĩkire mũthamaki, nake agĩthamaka Jerusalemu mĩaka ĩĩrĩ. Nyina eetagwo Meshulemethu mwarĩ wa Haruzu; oimĩte Jotiba.
20 And he did the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, —as did Manasseh his father;
Nake agĩĩka maũndũ mooru maitho-inĩ ma Jehova, o ta ũrĩa ithe Manase eekĩte.
21 yea he walked in all the way wherein, his father, had walked, —and served the manufactured gods that, his father, had served, and bowed down to them;
Nĩathiire na mĩthiĩre yothe ya ithe; akĩhooya mĩhianano ĩrĩa ithe aahooyaga, na akĩmĩinamĩrĩra.
22 and forsook Yahweh the God of his fathers, —and walked not in the way of Yahweh.
Agĩtigana na Jehova, Ngai wa maithe make, na ndaigana kũrũmĩrĩra Jehova.
23 And the servants of Amon, conspired against him, —and slew the king in his own house.
Anene a Amoni makĩmũciirĩra ndundu, na makĩũragĩra mũthamaki kũu nyũmba-inĩ yake ya ũthamaki.
24 Then the people of the land smote all who had conspired against King Amon, —and the people of the land made, Josiah his son, king, in his stead.
Nao andũ a bũrũri makĩũraga arĩa othe maathugundĩte gũũkĩrĩra Mũthamaki Amoni na magĩtua mũriũ Josia mũthamaki ithenya rĩake.
25 Now, the rest of the story of Amon, what he did, is, it, not written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
Ha ũhoro wa maũndũ marĩa mangĩ makoniĩ wathani wa Amoni, na ũrĩa eekire-rĩ, githĩ matiandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ rĩa mahinda ma athamaki a Juda?
26 And he was buried in his grave, in the garden of Uzza, —and, Josiah his son, reigned, in his stead.
Nake agĩthikwo mbĩrĩra-inĩ yake mũgũnda-inĩ wa Uza. Nake mũriũ Josia agĩtuĩka mũthamaki ithenya rĩake.
