1 Manasseh el yac singoul luo ke el tokosrala lun Judah, ac el leum in Jerusalem ke yac lumngaul limekosr.
Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign; he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem.
2 Manasseh el oru ma koluk lain LEUM GOD, in oana ouiya fohkfok lun mutanfahl su LEUM GOD El luselosla liki facl sac ke pacl mwet lal ah akola in utyak nu we.
He did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh, like the disgusting things of the nations whom Yahweh had driven out before the people of Israel.
3 El sifilpa musaela acn in alu lun mwet pegan ma Hezekiah, papa tumal, el tuh kunausla. Ac el musaela loang in alu nu sel Baal, ac orala ma sruloala ke god mutan Asherah, ac el alu nu ke itu uh.
For he rebuilt the high places that his father Hezekiah had torn down, and he built altars for the Baals, he made Asherah poles, and he bowed down to all the stars of heaven and worshiped them.
4 El musaela loang lun mwet pegan in Tempul, acn se na ma LEUM GOD El fahk mu mwet uh in alu nu sel we nwe tok.
Manasseh built altars in the house of Yahweh, although Yahweh had commanded, “It is in Jerusalem that my name will be forever.”
5 Ke nien tukeni luo inkul lun Tempul, el musaela loang in alu nu ke itu uh.
He built altars for all the stars of heaven in the two courtyards of the house of Yahweh.
6 El kisakunla wen natul in mwe kisa firir ke Infahlfal Hinnom. Oayapa el sramsram nu sin ngun fohkfok ac orek mwenmen in kiapu mwet. El som nu yurin mwet inutnut, mwet susfa, ac mwet sramsram nu sin mwet misa. El oru ma koluk na yohk lain LEUM GOD, ac akkasrkusrakyal.
In the Valley of Ben Hinnom he caused his sons to pass through the fire. He practiced sorcery, divination and he read omens, and he consulted with those who talked with the dead and with those who talked with spirits. Manasseh did much evil in the sight of Yahweh, and he provoked him to anger.
7 El likiya sie ma sruloala in Tempul, acn se ma LEUM GOD El tuh fahk kac nu sel David ac nu sel Solomon wen natul, mu, “In acn se inge Jerusalem, ac in Tempul se inge, pa acn se ma nga sulela inmasrlon acn nukewa lun sruf singoul luo in Israel, tuh in pa acn se mwet uh in alu nu sik we.
The carved figure he had made, he placed it in the house of God. It was about this house that God had spoken to David and Solomon his son; he had said, “It is in this house and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen from all the tribes of Israel, that I will put my name forever.
8 Ac mwet Israel fin akos ma nukewa nga sapkin nu selos, ac karinganang Ma Sap nukewa su Moses, mwet kulansap luk, el sang nu selos, na nga ac fah tia lela in lisyukla elos liki facl se su nga sang nu sin papa matu tumalos.”
I will not move the people of Israel any more out of the land that I assigned to their ancestors, if they will only be careful to keep all that I have commanded them, following all the law, statutes, and decrees which I gave them through Moses.”
9 Manasseh el kolla mwet Judah in oru ma koluk yohk liki ma koluk lun mutunfacl saya ma LEUM GOD El tuh lusla liki acn ma mwet lal elos fahsryak nu we.
Manasseh led Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to do evil even more than the nations that Yahweh had destroyed before the people of Israel.
10 LEUM GOD El sensenkakunul Manasseh ac mwet lal, a elos tia lungse lohng.
Yahweh spoke to Manasseh, and to his people, but they paid no attention.
11 Ouinge LEUM GOD El lela mwet kol fulat lun mwet mweun lun Assyria in utyak ac mweuni acn Judah. Elos sruokilya Manasseh, sang ka uh srumasrla manol ac kaprilya ac usalla nu Babylon.
So Yahweh brought on them the commanders of the army of the king of Assyria, who took Manasseh in chains, bound him with fetters, and took him off to Babylon.
12 Keok lulap lal akpusiselyal, ac el forla nu sin LEUM GOD lal, ac kwafe tuh Elan kasrel.
When Manasseh was in distress, he implored Yahweh, his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his ancestors.
13 Ac God El insese nu ke mwe siyuk lal, ac lela tuh elan folokla nu Jerusalem ac sifilpa leumi mwet uh. Ma inge akkalemye nu sel Manasseh lah LEUM GOD El God.
He prayed to him; and God was begged by him, and God heard his begging and brought him back to Jerusalem, into his kingship. Then Manasseh knew that Yahweh was God.
14 Tukun ma inge Manasseh el sifilpa laesla fulatan pot se lik ma oan kutulap in Siti sel David, mutawauk ke sie acn ke infahlfal se apkuran nu ke Unon in Kof Gihon, ac fahla nu epang nu ke Mutunpot Ik, ke ipin acn se ke siti uh ma pangpang Ophel. In kais sie siti in acn Judah ma oasr pot ku we, el supwala un mwet mweun in muta we wi captain lalos.
After this, Manasseh built an outer wall to the city of David, on the west side of Gihon, in the valley, to the entrance at the Fish Gate. He surrounded the hill of Ophel with it and raised the wall up to a very great height. He put courageous commanders in all the fortified cities of Judah.
15 El srakla god lun mutunfacl saya liki Tempul, ac ma sruloala se ma el tuh filiya we, oayapa loang lun mwet pegan ma oan ke inging soko Tempul ah oan we, ac in kutu pacna acn saya in acn Jerusalem. El usla ma inge nukewa nu likin siti uh, ac sisla we.
He took away the foreign gods, the idol out of the house of Yahweh, and all the altars that he had built on the mount of the house of Yahweh and in Jerusalem, and threw them out of the city.
16 El oayapa akwoyela loang se ma mwet uh alu nu sin LEUM GOD we, ac el kisakin mwe kisa in akinsewowo ac mwe kisa in sang kulo fac. El sapkin nu sin mwet Judah nukewa in alu nu sin LEUM GOD lun Israel.
He rebuilt the altar of Yahweh and offered on it sacrifices of fellowship offerings and thank offerings; he commanded Judah to serve Yahweh, the God of Israel.
17 Mwet uh finne orek kisa in kutu pac acn in alu saya, tuh kisa lalos uh ma na nu sin LEUM GOD mukena.
However, the people still sacrificed at the high places, but only to Yahweh, their God.
18 Ma nukewa saya ma Manasseh el oru, wi pac pre lal nu sin LEUM GOD ac kas lun mwet palu su kaskas nu sel Inen LEUM GOD lun Israel, ma inge nukewa simla in [Sramsram Matu Ke Tokosra Lun Israel].
As to the other matters concerning Manasseh, his prayer to his God, and the words of the seers who spoke to him in the name of Yahweh, the God of Israel, behold, they are written among the deeds of the kings of Israel.
19 Pre lun tokosra, ac top lun LEUM GOD nu sel, ac srumunyen ma koluk el orala meet liki el auliyak — aok, orekma koluk lal, ac acn in alu lun mwet pegan su el musaela, ac ma sruloala in luman god mutan Asherah ma el orala, ac ma sruloala saya ma el alu nu kac — simla nufon ke [Sramsram Matu Lun Mwet Palu].
In that account there is history of his prayer, and how God was moved by it. There is also an account of all his sin and his trespasses, and the places where he had built high places and set up the Asherah poles and the carved figures, before he humbled himself—they are written about in the Chronicles of the Seers.
20 Manasseh el misa ac pukpuki ke lohm sin tokosra, ac Amon wen natul, el aolul in tokosra.
So Manasseh slept with his ancestors, and they buried him in his own house. Amon, his son, became king in his place.
21 Amon el yac longoul luo ke el tokosrala lun Judah, ac el leum in Jerusalem ke yac luo.
Amon was twenty-two years old when he began to reign; he reigned two years in Jerusalem.
22 El oru ma koluk lain LEUM GOD, oana Manasseh, papa tumal ah oru, ac el alu pac nu ke ma sruloala ma papa tumal el tuh alu nu kac.
He did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh, as Manasseh, his father, had done. Amon sacrificed to all the carved figures that Manasseh his father had made, and he worshiped them.
23 Tusruktu el tia oana papa tumal ah, mweyen el tiana akpusiselyal ac forla nu sin LEUM GOD, ac ma koluk lal uh yohk liki na papa tumal ah.
He did not humble himself before Yahweh, as Manasseh his father had done. Instead, this same Amon trespassed more and more.
24 Mwet pwapa lal Amon elos orek pwapa koluk lainul, ac unilya in lohm sin tokosra.
His servants conspired against him and put him to death in his own house.
25 Ac mwet Judah elos uniya mwet ma tuh unilya Amon, ac srakulak Josiah, wen natul, in tokosra.
But the people of the land killed all those who had conspired against King Amon, and they made Josiah, his son, king in his place.
