2 Whakapapa 33

1 Tekau ma rua nga tau o Manahi i tona kingitanga, a e rima tekau ma rima ona tau i kingi ai ia ki Hiruharama.

Manasses was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem.

2 A he kino tana mahi ki te titiro a Ihowa, i rite ki nga mea whakarihariha a nga iwi i peia nei e Ihowa i te aroaro o nga tama a Iharaira.

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.

3 I hanga ano hoki e ia nga wahi tiketike i wahia e tona papa, e Hetekia: i whakaara i nga aata ki nga Paara, i hanga Aherimi; koropiko ana ia ki te ope o te rangi, mahi ana ki a ratou.

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.

4 I hanga ano e ia etahi aata ki te whare o Ihowa, ki ta Ihowa i ki ra, Ko Hiruharama hei waihotanga mo toku ingoa ake ake.

And he built altars in the house of the Lord, concerning which the Lord said, In Jerusalem shall be my name for ever.

5 I hanga ano e ia etahi aata ma te ope katoa o te rangi ki nga marae e rua o te whare o Ihowa.

And he built altars to all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the Lord.

6 Meatia ana e ia ana tamariki kia tika na waenganui i te ahi i te aroaro o te tama a Hinomi, rapua ana e ia he tohu i nga kapua, i nga nakahi; kei te makutu ano ia, kei te whai ki nga atua maori, ki nga mata maori: nui atu tana kino i mahi ai ki t e titiro a Ihowa, hei whakapataritari mona.

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.

7 I whakaturia ano e ia te whakapakoko, te ahua i hanga e ia, ki te whare o te Atua, ki ta te Atua i ki ra ki a Rawiri raua ko tana tama, ko Horomona, Hei tenei whare, hei Hiruharama i whiriwhiria nei e ahau i roto i nga iwi katoa o Iharaira, ahau waiho ai i toku ingoa a ake ake:

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;

8 A heoi aku whakanekehanga i te waewae o Iharaira i te whenua i whakaritea e ahau mo o koutou matua; kia mau raia ratou ki te mahi i nga mea katoa i whakahaua e ahau ki a ratou, kia rite ki te ture katoa, ki nga tikanga, ki nga whakaritenga i whak apuakina nei e Mohi.

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 judgements [given] by the hand of Moses.

9 Heoi whakakotititia ana e Manahi a Hura me nga tangata o Hiruharama kia nui atu ta ratou mahi kino i ta nga iwi i huna nei e Ihowa i te aroaro o nga tama a Iharaira.

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.

10 I korero hoki a Ihowa ki a Manahi ratou ko tona iwi; heoi kihai ratou i rongo.

And the Lord spoke to Manasses, and to his people: but they listened not.

11 Na reira i kawea mai ai e Ihowa ki runga ki a ratou nga rangatira o te ope o te kingi o Ahiria; a ka mau i a ratou a Manahi i te taura maitai; herea iho ki te mekameka, kawea ana ki Papurona.

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.

12 Na i a ia i te he, ka inoi ia ki a Ihowa, ki tona Atua, ka whakaiti rawa i a ia i te aroaro o te Atua o ona matua,

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;

13 Inoi ana ki a ia; a ka tahuri tera ki a ia, ka rongo ki tana inoi. Na ka whakahokia ia ki Hiruharama, ki tona kingitanga. Katahi ka mohio a Manahi ko Ihowa te Atua.

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.

14 I muri i tenei ka hanga e ia he taiepa i waho o te pa o Rawiri, i te taha ki te hauauru o Kihona, ki te awaawa, a tae noa ki te tomokanga i te kuwaha ika; a taiepatia ana a Opere a whawhe noa, hanga ana e ia kia tiketike rawa. I whakanohoia ano e ia etahi rangatira maia ki nga pa taiepa katoa o Hura.

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.

15 I whakakahoretia ano e ia nga atua ke, me te whakapakoko i roto i te whare o Ihowa, me nga aata katoa i hanga e ia ki te maunga o te whare o Ihowa ki Hiruharama; akiritia atu ana e ia ki waho o te pa.

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.

16 I hanga ano e ia te aata a Ihowa; patua iho e ia ki runga he patunga mo te pai, a mo te whakawhetai, i ki atu ano ki a Hura kia mahi ki a Ihowa, ki te Atua o Iharaira.

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.

17 I patu whakahere ano ia te iwi i runga i nga wahi tiketike; otiia ki a Ihowa, ki to ratou Atua anake.

Nevertheless the people still sacrificed on the high places, only to the Lord their God.

18 Na, ko era atu meatanga a Manahi, me tana inoi ki tona Atua, me nga korero a nga matakite i korero nei ki a ia i runga i te ingoa o Ihowa, o te Atua o Iharaira, nana, kei nga pukapuka o nga mahi a nga kingi o Iharaira.

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,

19 Na, ko tana inoi, me to te Atua tahuritanga ki a ia, me tona hara katoa, me tona he, me nga wahi i hanga ai e ia nga wahi tiketike, i whakaturia ai e ia nga Aherimi, me nga whakapakoko i te mea kiano ia i whakaiti i a ia, nana, kei te tuhituhi i roto i nga korero a Hohai.

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.

20 Heoi kua moe a Manahi ki ona matua, a tanumia iho ki tona whare, a ko tana tama, ko Amono, te kingi i muri i a ia.

And Manasses slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the garden of his house: and Amon his son reigned in his stead.

21 E rua tekau ma rua nga tau o Amono i tona kingitanga, a e rua nga tau i kingi ai ia ki Hiruharama.

Amon was twenty and two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem.

22 A he kino tana mahi ki ta Ihowa titiro, i rite ki ta tona papa, ki ta Manahi i mea ai: i patu whakahere hoki a Amono ki nga whakapakoko katoa i hanga e tona papa, e Manahi, a mahi ana ki a ratou.

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.

23 Kihai hoki i whakaiti i a ia ki te aroaro o Ihowa, kihai i pera me tona papa, me Manahi i whakaiti nei; heoi nui noa atu te he o taua Amono nei.

And he was not humbled before the Lord as his father Manasses was humbled; for his son Amon abounded in transgression.

24 Na, kua whakatupuria he he mona e ana tangata; patua iho ia ki roto ki tona ake whare.

And his servants conspired against him, and killed him in his house.

25 Otiia i patua e te iwi o te whenua nga tangata katoa i whakatupuria ai te he mo Kingi Amono; a ka meinga e te iwi o te whenua tana tama, a Hohia, hei kingi i muri i a ia.

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.
