2 Chronicles 33
1 Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty and five years in Jerusalem:
Manasye berumur dua belas tahun pada waktu ia menjadi raja dan lima puluh lima tahun lamanya ia memerintah di Yerusalem.
2 But did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, like the abominations of the heathen, whom the LORD had cast out before the children of Israel.
Ia melakukan apa yang jahat di mata TUHAN, sesuai dengan perbuatan keji bangsa-bangsa yang telah dihalaukan TUHAN dari depan orang Israel.
3 For he built again the high places which Hezekiah his father had broken down, and he reared up altars for Baalim, and made groves, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served them.
Ia mendirikan kembali bukit-bukit pengorbanan yang telah dirobohkan oleh Hizkia, ayahnya; ia membangun mezbah-mezbah untuk para Baal, membuat patung-patung Asyera dan sujud menyembah kepada segenap tentara langit dan beribadah kepadanya.
4 Also he built altars in the house of the LORD, of which the LORD had said, In Jerusalem shall my name be for ever.
Ia mendirikan mezbah-mezbah di rumah TUHAN, walaupun sehubungan dengan rumah itu TUHAN telah berfirman: "Di Yerusalem nama-Ku akan tinggal untuk selama-lamanya!"
5 And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the LORD.
Dan ia mendirikan juga mezbah-mezbah bagi segenap tentara langit di kedua pelataran rumah TUHAN.
6 And he caused his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom: also he observed times, and used enchantments, and used witchcraft, and dealt with a medium, and with wizards: he wrought much evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.
Bahkan, ia mempersembahkan anak-anaknya sebagai korban dalam api di Lebak Ben-Hinom; ia melakukan ramal, telaah dan sihir, dan menghubungi para pemanggil arwah dan para pemanggil roh peramal. Ia melakukan banyak yang jahat di mata TUHAN, sehingga ia menimbulkan sakit hati-Nya.
7 And he set a carved image, the idol which he had made, in the house of God, of which God had said to David and to Solomon his son, In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen before all the tribes of Israel, will I put my name for ever:
Ia menaruh juga patung berhala yang telah dibuatnya dalam rumah Allah, walaupun Allah telah berfirman kepada Daud dan kepada Salomo, anaknya: "Dalam rumah ini dan di Yerusalem, yang telah Kupilih dari antara segala suku Israel, Aku akan menaruh nama-Ku untuk selama-lamanya!
8 Neither will I any more remove the foot of Israel from the land which I have appointed for your fathers; provided they will take heed to do all that I have commanded them, according to the whole law and the statutes and the ordinances by the hand of Moses.
Aku tidak akan membuat pula orang Israel berjejak ke luar dari tanah yang telah Kutentukan untuk nenek moyangmu, asal saja mereka melakukan dengan setia segala yang telah Kuperintahkan kepada mereka dengan perantaraan Musa, yakni segala hukum, ketetapan dan peraturan."
9 So Manasseh made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to err, and to do worse than the heathen, whom the LORD had destroyed before the children of Israel.
Tetapi Manasye menyesatkan Yehuda dan penduduk Yerusalem, sehingga mereka melakukan yang jahat lebih dari pada bangsa-bangsa yang telah dipunahkan TUHAN dari depan orang Israel.
10 And the LORD spoke to Manasseh, and to his people: but they would not hearken.
Kemudian berfirmanlah TUHAN kepada Manasye dan rakyatnya, tetapi mereka tidak menghiraukannya.
11 Therefore the LORD brought upon them the captains of the army of the king of Assyria, who took Manasseh in chains, and bound him with fetters, and carried him to Babylon.
Oleh sebab itu TUHAN mendatangkan kepada mereka panglima-panglima tentara raja Asyur yang menangkap Manasye dengan kaitan, membelenggunya dengan rantai tembaga dan membawanya ke Babel.
12 And when he was in affliction, he besought the LORD his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers,
Dalam keadaan yang terdesak ini, ia berusaha melunakkan hati TUHAN, Allahnya; ia sangat merendahkan diri di hadapan Allah nenek moyangnya,
13 And prayed to him: and he was entreated by him, and heard his supplication, and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the LORD he is God.
dan berdoa kepada-Nya. Maka TUHAN mengabulkan doanya, dan mendengarkan permohonannya. Ia membawanya kembali ke Yerusalem dan memulihkan kedudukannya sebagai raja. Dan Manasye mengakui, bahwa TUHAN itu Allah.
14 Now after this he built a wall outside the city of David, on the west side of Gihon, in the valley, even to the entrance at the fish gate, and surrounded Ophel, and raised it up a very great height, and put captains of war in all the fortified cities of Judah.
Kemudian ia mendirikan tembok luar pada kota Daud, di sebelah Barat Gihon, di lembah, sampai dekat Pintu Gerbang Ikan, mengelilingi Ofel. Tembok itu dibuatnya sangat tinggi. Ia menempatkan juga panglima-panglima perang di tiap kota kubu di Yehuda.
15 And he took away the foreign gods, and the idol out of the house of the LORD, and all the altars that he had built in the mount of the house of the LORD, and in Jerusalem, and cast them out of the city.
Ia menjauhkan allah-allah asing dan berhala dari rumah TUHAN, juga segala mezbah yang didirikannya di atas gunung rumah TUHAN dan di Yerusalem, dan membuangnya ke luar kota.
16 And he repaired the altar of the LORD, and sacrificed on it peace offerings and thank offerings, and commanded Judah to serve the LORD God of Israel.
Ia menegakkan kembali mezbah TUHAN, mempersembahkan korban keselamatan dan korban syukur di atasnya, menyerukan kepada Yehuda untuk beribadah kepada TUHAN, Allah Israel.
17 Nevertheless the people sacrificed still in the high places, yet to the LORD their God only.
Walaupun demikian, rakyat masih mempersembahkan korban di bukit-bukit pengorbanan, tetapi hanya kepada TUHAN, Allah mereka.
18 Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and his prayer to his God, and the words of the seers that spoke to him in the name of the LORD God of Israel, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel.
Selebihnya dari riwayat Manasye, doanya kepada Allahnya, dan ucapan-ucapan para pelihat yang berkata-kata kepadanya dengan nama TUHAN, Allah Israel, sesungguhnya semuanya itu terdapat dalam riwayat raja-raja Israel.
19 His prayer also, and how God was entreated by him, and all his sin, and his trespass, and the places in which he built high places, and set up groves and graven images, before he was humbled: behold, they are written among the sayings of the seers.
Doanya dan pengabulan doanya, segala dosa dan ketidaksetiaannya, semua tempat di mana ia telah membangun bukit-bukit pengorbanan serta mendirikan tiang-tiang berhala dan patung-patung sebelum ia merendahkan diri, sesungguhnya semuanya itu tertulis dalam riwayat para pelihat.
20 So Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they buried him in his own house: and Amon his son reigned in his stead.
Kemudian Manasye mendapat perhentian bersama-sama dengan nenek moyangnya, dan ia dikuburkan di dalam istananya. Maka Amon, anaknya, menjadi raja menggantikan dia.
21 Amon was two and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned two years in Jerusalem.
Amon berumur dua puluh dua tahun pada waktu ia menjadi raja dan dua tahun lamanya ia memerintah di Yerusalem.
22 But he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, as did Manasseh his father: for Amon sacrificed to all the carved images which Manasseh his father had made, and served them;
Ia melakukan apa yang jahat di mata TUHAN seperti yang telah dilakukan Manasye, ayahnya. Amon mempersembahkan korban kepada segala patung yang dibuat Manasye, ayahnya, dan beribadah kepada patung-patung itu.
23 And humbled not himself before the LORD, as Manasseh his father had humbled himself; but Amon trespassed more and more.
Tetapi ia tidak merendahkan diri di hadapan TUHAN seperti Manasye, ayahnya, merendahkan diri, malah Amon makin banyak kesalahannya.
24 And his servants conspired against him, and slew him in his own house.
Maka pegawai-pegawainya mengadakan persepakatan melawan dia, dan membunuhnya di istananya.
25 But the people of the land slew all them that had conspired against king Amon; and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his stead.
Tetapi rakyat negeri itu membunuh semua orang yang mengadakan persepakatan melawan raja Amon; dan rakyat negeri itu mengangkat Yosia, anaknya, menjadi raja menggantikan dia.
