2 Tawarikh 33

¹Manasye berumur dua belas tahun pada waktu ia menjadi raja dan lima puluh lima tahun lamanya ia memerintah di Yerusalem.

¹Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem.

²Ia melakukan apa yang jahat di mata TUHAN, sesuai dengan perbuatan keji bangsa-bangsa yang telah dihalaukan TUHAN dari depan orang Israel.

²And he did what was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to the abominations of the nations whom the LORD drove out before the people of Israel.

³Ia 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.

³For he rebuilt the high places that his father Hezekiah had broken down, and he erected altars to the Baals, and made Asherahs, and worshiped all the host of heaven and served them.

⁴Ia mendirikan mezbah-mezbah di rumah TUHAN, walaupun sehubungan dengan rumah itu TUHAN telah berfirman: "Di Yerusalem nama-Ku akan tinggal untuk selama-lamanya!"

⁴And he built altars in the house of the LORD, of which the LORD had said, "In Jerusalem shall my name be forever."

⁵Dan ia mendirikan juga mezbah-mezbah bagi segenap tentara langit di kedua pelataran rumah TUHAN.

⁵And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the LORD.

⁶Bahkan, 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.

⁶And he burned his sons as an offering in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, and used fortune-telling and omens and sorcery, and dealt with mediums and with wizards. He did much evil in the sight of the LORD, provoking him to anger.

⁷Ia 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!

⁷And the carved image of the idol that he had made he set in the house of God, of which God said to David and to Solomon his son, "In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, I will put my name forever,

⁸Aku 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."

⁸and I will no more remove the foot of Israel from the land that I appointed for your fathers, if only they will be careful to do all that I have commanded them, all the law, the statutes, and the rules given through Moses."

⁹Tetapi Manasye menyesatkan Yehuda dan penduduk Yerusalem, sehingga mereka melakukan yang jahat lebih dari pada bangsa-bangsa yang telah dipunahkan TUHAN dari depan orang Israel.

⁹Manasseh led Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem astray, to do more evil than the nations whom the LORD destroyed before the people of Israel.

¹⁰Kemudian berfirmanlah TUHAN kepada Manasye dan rakyatnya, tetapi mereka tidak menghiraukannya.

¹⁰The LORD spoke to Manasseh and to his people, but they paid no attention.

¹¹Oleh sebab itu TUHAN mendatangkan kepada mereka panglima-panglima tentara raja Asyur yang menangkap Manasye dengan kaitan, membelenggunya dengan rantai tembaga dan membawanya ke Babel.

¹¹Therefore the LORD brought upon them the commanders of the army of the king of Assyria, who captured Manasseh with hooks and bound him with chains of bronze and brought him to Babylon.

¹²Dalam keadaan yang terdesak ini, ia berusaha melunakkan hati TUHAN, Allahnya; ia sangat merendahkan diri di hadapan Allah nenek moyangnya,

¹²And when he was in distress, he entreated the favor of the LORD his God and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers.

¹³dan 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.

¹³He prayed to him, and God was moved by his entreaty and heard his plea and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the LORD was God.

¹⁴Kemudian 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.

¹⁴Afterward he built an outer wall for the city of David west of Gihon, in the valley, and for the entrance into the Fish Gate, and carried it around Ophel, and raised it to a very great height. He also put commanders of the army in all the fortified cities in Judah.

¹⁵Ia 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.

¹⁵And he took away the foreign gods and the idol from the house of the LORD, and all the altars that he had built on the mountain of the house of the LORD and in Jerusalem, and he threw them outside of the city.

¹⁶Ia menegakkan kembali mezbah TUHAN, mempersembahkan korban keselamatan dan korban syukur di atasnya, menyerukan kepada Yehuda untuk beribadah kepada TUHAN, Allah Israel.

¹⁶He also restored the altar of the LORD and offered on it sacrifices of peace offerings and of thanksgiving, and he commanded Judah to serve the LORD, the God of Israel.

¹⁷Walaupun demikian, rakyat masih mempersembahkan korban di bukit-bukit pengorbanan, tetapi hanya kepada TUHAN, Allah mereka.

¹⁷Nevertheless, the people still sacrificed at the high places, but only to the LORD their God.

¹⁸Selebihnya 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.

¹⁸Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and his prayer to his God, and the words of the seers who spoke to him in the name of the LORD, the God of Israel, behold, they are in the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.

¹⁹Doanya 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.

¹⁹And his prayer, and how God was moved by his entreaty, and all his sin and his faithlessness, and the sites on which he built high places and set up the Asherim and the images, before he humbled himself, behold, they are written in the Chronicles of the Seers.

²⁰Kemudian Manasye mendapat perhentian bersama-sama dengan nenek moyangnya, dan ia dikuburkan di dalam istananya. Maka Amon, anaknya, menjadi raja menggantikan dia.

²⁰So Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they buried him in his house, and Amon his son reigned in his place.

²¹Amon berumur dua puluh dua tahun pada waktu ia menjadi raja dan dua tahun lamanya ia memerintah di Yerusalem.

²¹Amon was twenty-two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem.

²²Ia 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.

²²And he did what was evil in the sight of the LORD, as Manasseh his father had done. Amon sacrificed to all the images that Manasseh his father had made, and served them.

²³Tetapi ia tidak merendahkan diri di hadapan TUHAN seperti Manasye, ayahnya, merendahkan diri, malah Amon makin banyak kesalahannya.

²³And he did not humble himself before the LORD, as Manasseh his father had humbled himself, but this Amon incurred guilt more and more.

²⁴Maka pegawai-pegawainya mengadakan persepakatan melawan dia, dan membunuhnya di istananya.

²⁴And his servants conspired against him and put him to death in his house.

²⁵Tetapi rakyat negeri itu membunuh semua orang yang mengadakan persepakatan melawan raja Amon; dan rakyat negeri itu mengangkat Yosia, anaknya, menjadi raja menggantikan dia.

²⁵But the people of the land struck down all those who had conspired against King Amon. And the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his place.
