2 Tawarikh 33
1 Manasye berumur 12 tahun ketika ia menjadi raja Yehuda dan ia memerintah di Yerusalem 55 tahun lamanya.
Manasseh was twelve years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for fifty-five years in Jerusalem.
2 Ia berdosa kepada TUHAN, karena mengikuti kebiasaan-kebiasaan jahat bangsa-bangsa yang diusir TUHAN dari Kanaan pada waktu orang Israel memasuki negeri itu.
But he did evil before the Lord, in accord with all the abominations of the nations which the Lord overturned before the sons of Israel.
3 Tempat-tempat penyembahan berhala yang telah dimusnahkan Hizkia, ayahnya, dibangunnya kembali. Ia membangun mezbah-mezbah untuk beribadat kepada Baal, dan ia membuat patung-patung Dewi Asyera, serta menyembah bintang-bintang.
And turning away, he repaired the high places, which had been demolished by his father, Hezekiah. And he constructed altars to the Baals, and made sacred groves. And he adored the entire army of heaven, and he served them.
4 TUHAN telah berkata bahwa untuk selama-lamanya Yerusalem adalah tempat untuk beribadat kepada-Nya, tetapi di sana di Rumah TUHAN itu, Manasye telah mendirikan mezbah-mezbah untuk dewa-dewa.
Also, he built altars in the house of the Lord, about which the Lord had said, “My name shall be in Jerusalem forever.”
5 Di kedua halaman Rumah TUHAN itu ia mendirikan mezbah-mezbah untuk penyembahan kepada bintang-bintang.
But he built these for the entire army of heaven, in the two courts of the house of the Lord.
6 Anak-anaknya dipersembahkannya sebagai kurban bakaran di Lembah Hinom. Ia juga melakukan praktek-praktek pedukunan, penujuman, ilmu gaib, dan meminta petunjuk kepada roh-roh. Ia sangat berdosa kepada TUHAN sehingga membangkitkan kemarahan TUHAN.
And he caused his sons to pass through fire in the Valley of the son of Hinnom. He observed dreams, followed divinations, served the occult arts, had with him magicians and enchanters, and worked many evils before the Lord, so that he provoked him.
7 Patung berhala ditaruhnya di dalam Rumah TUHAN, padahal mengenai tempat itu Allah telah berkata kepada Daud dan Salomo putranya, "Rumah-Ku di Yerusalem ini, yang telah Kupilih dari antara kedua belas wilayah suku Israel, adalah tempat yang Kutentukan sebagai tempat ibadat kepada-Ku untuk selama-lamanya.
Also, he set up a graven image and molten statue in the house of God, about which God said to David, and to his son Solomon: “In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen from all the tribes of Israel, I will place my name forever.
8 Kalau umat Israel mentaati semua perintah-Ku dan menuruti hukum-hukum yang diberikan Musa hamba-Ku kepada mereka, maka Aku tidak akan membiarkan mereka diusir dari negeri yang telah Kuberikan kepada leluhur mereka."
And I will not cause the foot of Israel to be moved from the land which I delivered to their fathers. Yet this is so, only if they will take care to do what I have instructed them, by the hand of Moses, with the entire law and the ceremonies and the judgments.”
9 Manasye menyebabkan rakyat Yehuda melakukan dosa-dosa yang lebih jahat dari dosa yang dilakukan oleh bangsa-bangsa yang diusir TUHAN dari Kanaan pada waktu umat TUHAN memasuki negeri itu.
And so Manasseh seduced Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that they did evil, more so than all the nations which the Lord had overturned before the face of the sons of Israel.
10 TUHAN menegur Manasye dan rakyatnya, tetapi mereka tidak mau mendengar.
And the Lord spoke to him and to his people, but they were not willing to pay attention.
11 Karena itu TUHAN mendatangkan para panglima tentara Asyur untuk menyerang Yehuda. Manasye ditangkap dengan kaitan, lalu dibelenggu dan diangkut ke Babel.
Therefore, he led over them the leaders of the army of the king of the Assyrians. And they captured Manasseh, and they led him, bound with chains and fetters, to Babylon.
12 Dalam penderitaannya itu ia merendahkan diri terhadap TUHAN Allahnya, dan berdoa mohon pertolongan-Nya.
And after this, being in great anguish, he prayed to the Lord his God. And he did penance greatly before the God of his fathers.
13 Allah mengabulkan doa Manasye dan mengembalikan dia ke Yerusalem untuk memerintah lagi. Karena kejadian itu Manasye menjadi yakin bahwa TUHAN adalah Allah.
And he petitioned and begged him intently. And he heeded his prayer, and led him back to Jerusalem, into his kingdom. And Manasseh realized that the Lord himself was God.
14 Kemudian Manasye mempertinggi tembok luar di bagian timur Kota Daud. Ia mulai dari satu tempat di lembah dekat mata air Gihon lalu terus ke utara sampai ke Pintu Gerbang Ikan dan bagian kota yang disebut Ofel. Di setiap kota berbenteng di Yehuda, ia menempatkan juga seorang panglima.
After these things, he built a wall outside the City of David, to the west of Gihon, at the steep valley, from the entrance to the fish gate, circling around as far as Ophel. And he raised it up greatly. And he appointed leaders of the army in all the fortified cities of Judah.
15 Ia menyingkirkan patung-patung dewa bangsa lain serta berhala-berhala yang telah diletakkannya di Rumah TUHAN. Ia membongkar mezbah-mezbah berhala yang berada di bukit Rumah TUHAN, dan di tempat-tempat lain di Yerusalem. Semuanya itu dibawanya ke luar kota lalu dibuang.
And he took away the foreign gods, and the idol from the house of the Lord, and also the altars which he had made on the mount of the house of the Lord and in Jerusalem. And he cast all these things outside the city.
16 Kemudian ia memperbaiki mezbah tempat ibadat kepada TUHAN, lalu mempersembahkan di situ kurban perdamaian dan kurban syukur. Semua orang Yehuda disuruhnya beribadat kepada TUHAN Allah Israel.
Then he repaired the altar of the Lord, and he immolated upon it victims, and peace offerings, with praise. And he instructed Judah to serve the Lord, the God of Israel.
17 Rakyat masih mempersembahkan kurban di tempat-tempat penyembahan lain, tetapi persembahan itu adalah untuk TUHAN.
Yet still the people were immolating on the high places, to the Lord their God.
18 Kisah lainnya mengenai Manasye, dan mengenai doanya kepada Allah, serta pesan-pesan Allah yang disampaikan kepadanya oleh nabi-nabi atas nama TUHAN, Allah Israel, semuanya sudah dicatat di dalam buku Sejarah Raja-raja Israel.
But the rest of the deeds of Manasseh, and his prayer to his God, and also the words of the seers who were speaking to him in the name of the Lord, the God of Israel, are contained in the words of the kings of Israel.
19 Dalam buku Sejarah Nabi-nabi sudah dicatat juga doa Manasye dan jawaban Allah atas doa itu, serta kisah tentang dosa-dosanya sebelum ia bertobat, tempat-tempat penyembahan berhala dan patung-patung Dewi Asyera yang dibuatnya, dan berhala-berhala yang disembahnya.
Also, his prayer and its heeding, and all his sins and contempt, and the sites on which he built high places and made sacred groves and statues, before he repented, have been written in the words of Hozai.
20 Manasye meninggal dan dimakamkan di istana. Amon putranya menjadi raja menggantikan dia.
Then Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they buried him in his own house. And his son, Amon, reigned in his place.
21 Amon berumur 22 tahun ketika ia menjadi raja Yehuda, dan ia memerintah di Yerusalem dua tahun lamanya.
Amon was twenty-two years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for two years in Jerusalem.
22 Seperti ayahnya ia pun berdosa kepada TUHAN. Ia menyembah berhala-berhala yang disembah ayahnya dan mempersembahkan kurban kepada berhala-berhala itu.
And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, just as his father Manasseh had done. And he immolated to all the idols that Manasseh had fabricated, and he served them.
23 Tetapi, berbeda dengan ayahnya, Amon tidak merendahkan diri dan tidak kembali kepada TUHAN; ia malahan lebih berdosa dari ayahnya.
But he did not turn his face to the Lord, as his father Manasseh had turned himself. And he sinned much more grievously.
24 Pegawai-pegawai Raja Amon berkomplot melawan dia dan membunuhnya di istana.
And when his servants had conspired against him, they killed him in his own house.
25 Tetapi rakyat Yehuda membunuh para pembunuh Raja Amon itu, lalu mengangkat Yosia anaknya menjadi raja.
But the rest of the multitude of the people, having slain those who had struck down Amon, appointed his son, Josiah, as king in his place.
