2 Krønikebok 33
1 Tolv år gamall var Manasse då han vart konge, og fem og femti år styrde han i Jerusalem.
Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign; he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem.
2 Han gjorde det som vondt var i Herrens augo, etter den avstyggjelege seden hjå dei folki som Herren hadde rudt ut for Israels-borni.
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 Han bygde upp att offerhaugarne som Hizkia, far hans, hadde rive ned, og sette upp altari for Ba’als-gudarne og gjorde Astarte-bilæte og kasta seg ned for og tente heile himmelheren.
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 Og han bygde altar i Herrens hus, endå Herren hadde sagt: «I Jerusalem skal namnet mitt vera æveleg.»
Manasseh built altars in the house of Yahweh, although Yahweh had commanded, “It is in Jerusalem that my name will be forever.”
5 Og han bygde altar for heile himmelheren i båe tuni kring Herrens hus.
He built altars for all the stars of heaven in the two courtyards of the house of Yahweh.
6 Han vigde sønerne sine i elden i Hinnomssons-dalen og for med spådom og trolldom og runing og fekk seg tinga folk til å mana draugar og spåvette; han gjorde mykje som vondt var i Herrens augo og harma honom.
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 Og avgudsbilætet som han hadde gjort, sette han upp i Guds hus, som Gud hadde sagt um til David og Salomo, son hans: «Til dette huset og til Jerusalem, som eg hev valt ut millom alle Israels ætter, vil eg festa namnet mitt i all æva.
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 Og eg vil ikkje meir lata Israel fara burt ifrå det landet som eg etla åt federne dykkar, berre dei agtar på å halda alt det som eg hev bode deim, etter heile lovi og bodi og rettarne som dei fekk ved Moses.»
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 Men Manasse førde Juda og Jerusalems-buarne til å stella seg verre enn dei folki som Herren hadde øydt ut for Israels-borni.
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 Då tala Herren til Manasse og folket hans, men dei agta ikkje på det.
Yahweh spoke to Manasseh, and to his people, but they paid no attention.
11 So let Herren herførarne åt assyrarkongen koma yver deim, og dei fanga Manasse med krokar, lagde honom i koparlekkjor og førde honom til Babel.
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 Men då han var i naud, bad han Herren, sin Gud, um nåde, og han audmykte seg djupt for fedreguden sin.
When Manasseh was in distress, he implored Yahweh, his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his ancestors.
13 Og då han bad til honom, let han seg blidka og høyrde bøni hans og førde honom attende til Jerusalem til kongedømet hans. Då kom Manasse i hug at Herren er Gud.
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 Sidan bygde han ein ytre mur for Davidsstaden vestanfor Gihon i dalen og burt imot Fiskeporten, so han gjekk ikring Ofel; og gjorde honom svært høg. I alle borgbyarne i Juda sette han herførarar.
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 Han førde burt dei framande gudarne og avgudsbilætet ifrå Herrens hus og alle dei altari som han hadde bygt på det berget der Herrens hus stod og i Jerusalem, og han kasta deim utanfor byen.
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 Derimot reiste upp att Herrens altar, og han ofra takkoffer og lovoffer på det; og han baud Juda at dei skulde tena Herren, Israels Gud.
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 Men folket heldt ved med å ofra på offerhaugarne, men einast til Herren, deira Gud.
However, the people still sacrificed at the high places, but only to Yahweh, their God.
18 Det som elles er å fortelja um Manasse, um bøni hans til sin Gud og ordi åt dei sjåarane som tala til honom i namnet åt Herren, Israels Gud, det er uppskrive i krønikeboki åt Israels-kongarne.
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 Og um bøni hans, og korleis han vart bønhøyrd, og heile syndi og utruskapen hans og dei staderne der han bygde upp offerhaugar og sette upp Astarte-stolparne og avgudsbilæti fyrr han audmykte seg, det er uppskrive i krønikeboki åt Hozai.
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 Og Manasse lagde seg til kvile hjå federne sine, og dei gravlagde honom ved huset hans, og Amon, son hans, vart konge i staden hans.
So Manasseh slept with his ancestors, and they buried him in his own house. Amon, his son, became king in his place.
21 Tvo og tjuge år gamall var Amon då han vart konge, og tvo år styrde han i Jerusalem.
Amon was twenty-two years old when he began to reign; he reigned two years in Jerusalem.
22 Han gjorde det som vondt var i Herrens augo, liksom Manasse, far hans; og han ofra til alle dei bilæti som Manasse, far hans, hadde gjort, og han tente deim.
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 Han audmykte seg ikkje for Herrens åsyn, soleis som Manasse, far hans, gjorde, men han, Amon, leste på seg stor skuld.
He did not humble himself before Yahweh, as Manasseh his father had done. Instead, this same Amon trespassed more and more.
24 Tenarane hans svor seg saman mot honom og drap honom i huset hans.
His servants conspired against him and put him to death in his own house.
25 Men landsfolket drap alle deim som hadde svore seg saman imot kong Amon, og landsfolket tok Josia, son hans, til konge i staden hans.
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.
