Manaseh, Boqorkii Yahuudah

33 Oo Manaseh markuu boqor noqday wuxuu jiray laba iyo toban sannadood, oo Yeruusaalemna wuxuu boqor ku ahaa shan iyo konton sannadood. Oo isna wuxuu sameeyey wax Rabbiga hortiisa shar ku ahaa, sidii karaahiyadii quruumihii Rabbigu ka eryay reer binu Israa'iil hortooda. Waayo, wuxuu mar kale dhisay meelihii sarsare ee aabbihiis Xisqiyaah baabbi'iyey, oo Bacaliimna meelo allabari buu u dhisay, oo geedo Asheeraahna wuu sameeyey, oo wuxuu caabuday oo u wada adeegay ciidanka samada oo dhan. Oo wuxuu meelo allabari uga dhex dhisay gurigii Rabbiga, kaasoo Rabbigu ka hadlay oo yidhi, Magacaygu wuxuu weligiisba joogi doonaa Yeruusaalem. Oo wuxuu ciidankii samada oo dhanna meelo allabari uga dhisay labadii barxadood oo gurigii Rabbiga. Oo weliba carruurtiisiina dab buu ku dhex mariyey dooxadii ina Xinnom dhexdiisa, faalna wuu ku noqnoqday, wuxuuna u tegey falanfallowyo, sixirna wuu ku noqnoqday, oo wuxuu la macaamilooday kuwii ruuxaanta lahaa iyo saaxiriintii, oo wuxuu Rabbiga hortiisa ku sameeyey shar badan oo uu isaga kaga xanaajiyey. Oo sanamkii xardhanaa ee uu sameeyey ayuu dhex qotomiyey gurigii Ilaah ee uu Ilaah ka hadlay oo Daa'uud iyo wiilkiisii Sulaymaanba ku yidhi, Gurigan iyo Yeruusaalem dhexdeeda oo aan ka doortay qabiilooyinka reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan ayaan magacayga weligiisba ku dayn doonaa. Oo cagta reer binu Israa'iilna mar dambe ka dhaqaajin maayo dalkii aan u doortay awowayaashood, hadday dhawraan uun wixii aan ku amray oo dhan, kuwaasoo ah sharcigii iyo qaynuunnadii iyo xukummadii aan gacanta Muuse u soo dhiibay oo dhan. Oo Manasehna dadkii Yahuudah iyo dadkii Yeruusaalem degganaaba wuu qalday, sidaas daraaddeed iyagu waxay sameeyeen shar ka sii badan kii ay sameeyeen quruumihii Rabbigu ku hor baabbi'iyey reer binu Israa'iil. 10 Markaasaa Rabbigu la hadlay Manaseh iyo dadkiisiiba, laakiinse dheg uma ay dhigin. 11 Sidaas daraaddeed Rabbigu wuxuu ku diray saraakiishii ciidanka oo boqorkii Ashuur, oo waxay la tageen Manaseh isagoo silsilado iyo bircago ku xidhan yihiin, kolkaasay Baabuloon u kaxaysteen. 12 Oo intuu dhibaataysnaa ayuu baryay Rabbigii Ilaahiisa ahaa, oo si weyn buu isugu hor hoosaysiiyey Ilaahii awowayaashiis. 13 Oo isagii buuna baryay, oo isna wuu aqbalay oo baryootankiisiina wuu maqlay, oo mar kale ayuu dib ugu soo celiyey Yeruusaalem iyo boqortooyadiisii. Markaasaa Manaseh ogaaday in Rabbigu Ilaah yahay.

14 Haddaba waxyaalahaas ka dib magaaladii Daa'uud dibaddeeda ayuu ka dhisay derbi xagga Giixoon dhankeedii galbeed iyo dooxada dhexdeedii iyo xataa meesha laga galo Iriddii Kalluunka, oo wuxuu ka soo wareejiyey Cofel, oo aad iyo aad buu kor ugu dheereeyey, oo magaalooyinkii deyrka lahaa oo dalka Yahuudah oo dhanna wuxuu fadhiisiyey saraakiishii ciidanka. 15 Markaasuu ilaahyadii qalaad iyo sanamkiiba ka bixiyey gurigii Rabbiga, oo meelihii allabariga ee uu ka dhisay buurtii guriga Rabbiga iyo Yeruusaalem gudaheedaba dhammaantood wuu dumiyey, oo magaaladii wuu ka wada tuuray. 16 Markaasuu hagaajiyey meeshii allabariga ee Rabbiga, oo wuxuu ku dul bixiyey qurbaanno nabaadiino iyo qurbaanno mahadnaqid ah, oo wuxuu dadkii Yahuudah ku amray inay u adeegaan Rabbiga ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil. 17 Habase yeeshee dadkii weli waxay allabaryo ku bixin jireen meelihii sarsare, laakiinse waxay ula niyoon jireen Rabbiga ah Ilaahooda oo keliya. 18 Haddaba Manaseh falimihiisii kale iyo baryadii uu Ilaahiis baryay, iyo erayadii wax arkayaashii ay isaga kula hadleen magaca Rabbiga ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil, bal eeg, waxay ku qoran yihiin kitaabkii falimihii boqorradii dalka Israa'iil. 19 Oo baryootankiisii, iyo siduu Ilaah isaga u aqbalay, iyo dembigiisii iyo xadgududkiisii oo dhan, iyo meelihii uu meelo sarsare ka dhisay ee uu qotomiyey geedihii Asheeraah iyo sanamyadii xardhanaa intuusan is-hoosaysiin, bal eeg, waxay ku qoran yihiin taariikhdii Xoosay. 20 Markaasaa Manaseh dhintay oo la seexday awowayaashiis, oo waxaa lagu aasay gurigiisii, oo meeshiisiina waxaa boqor ka noqday wiilkiisii Aamoon.

Aamoon, Boqorkii Yahuudah

21 Oo Aamoonna markuu boqor noqday wuxuu jiray laba iyo labaatan sannadood, Yeruusaalemna boqor buu ku ahaa laba sannadood. 22 Oo isna wuxuu sameeyey wax shar ku ah Rabbiga hortiisa sidii aabbihiis Manaseh u yeelay oo kale. Oo Aamoon wuxuu allabari u bixiyey sanamyadii xardhanaa ee uu aabbihiis Manaseh sameeyey oo dhan, wuuna u adeegay. 23 Oo isagu sidii aabbihiis Manaseh uu isu hoosaysiiyey oo kale isuguma uu hoosaysiin Rabbiga hortiisa, laakiinse Aamoonkaas qudhiisu aad iyo aad buu u sii xadgudbay. 24 Oo addoommadiisii ayaa shirqool u dhigay, oo gurigiisay ku dileen. 25 Laakiinse dadkii dalka degganaa ayaa wada laayay kuwii Boqor Aamoon sirqoolka u dhigay oo dhan, oo dadkii dalka degganaa waxay meeshiisii boqor uga dhigeen wiilkiisii Yoosiyaah.

Manasseh King of Judah(A)(B)

33 Manasseh(C) was twelve years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem fifty-five years. He did evil in the eyes of the Lord,(D) following the detestable(E) practices of the nations the Lord had driven out before the Israelites. He rebuilt the high places his father Hezekiah had demolished; he also erected altars to the Baals and made Asherah poles.(F) He bowed down(G) to all the starry hosts and worshiped them. He built altars in the temple of the Lord, of which the Lord had said, “My Name(H) will remain in Jerusalem forever.” In both courts of the temple of the Lord,(I) he built altars to all the starry hosts. He sacrificed his children(J) in the fire in the Valley of Ben Hinnom, practiced divination and witchcraft, sought omens, and consulted mediums(K) and spiritists.(L) He did much evil in the eyes of the Lord, arousing his anger.

He took the image he had made and put it in God’s temple,(M) of which God had said to David and to his son Solomon, “In this temple and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, I will put my Name forever. I will not again make the feet of the Israelites leave the land(N) I assigned to your ancestors, if only they will be careful to do everything I commanded them concerning all the laws, decrees and regulations given through Moses.” But Manasseh led Judah and the people of Jerusalem astray, so that they did more evil than the nations the Lord had destroyed before the Israelites.(O)

10 The Lord spoke to Manasseh and his people, but they paid no attention. 11 So the Lord brought against them the army commanders of the king of Assyria, who took Manasseh prisoner,(P) put a hook(Q) in his nose, bound him with bronze shackles(R) and took him to Babylon. 12 In his distress he sought the favor of the Lord his God and humbled(S) himself greatly before the God of his ancestors. 13 And when he prayed to him, the Lord was moved by his entreaty and listened to his plea; so he brought him back to Jerusalem and to his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the Lord is God.

14 Afterward he rebuilt the outer wall of the City of David, west of the Gihon(T) spring in the valley, as far as the entrance of the Fish Gate(U) and encircling the hill of Ophel;(V) he also made it much higher. He stationed military commanders in all the fortified cities in Judah.

15 He got rid of the foreign gods and removed(W) the image from the temple of the Lord, as well as all the altars he had built on the temple hill and in Jerusalem; and he threw them out of the city. 16 Then he restored the altar of the Lord and sacrificed fellowship offerings and thank offerings(X) on it, and told Judah to serve the Lord, the God of Israel. 17 The people, however, continued to sacrifice at the high places, but only to the Lord their God.

18 The other events of Manasseh’s reign, including his prayer to his God and the words the seers spoke to him in the name of the Lord, the God of Israel, are written in the annals of the kings of Israel.[a] 19 His prayer and how God was moved by his entreaty, as well as all his sins and unfaithfulness, and the sites where he built high places and set up Asherah poles and idols before he humbled(Y) himself—all these are written in the records of the seers.[b](Z) 20 Manasseh rested with his ancestors and was buried(AA) in his palace. And Amon his son succeeded him as king.

Amon King of Judah(AB)

21 Amon(AC) was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem two years. 22 He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, as his father Manasseh had done. Amon worshiped and offered sacrifices to all the idols Manasseh had made. 23 But unlike his father Manasseh, he did not humble(AD) himself before the Lord; Amon increased his guilt.

24 Amon’s officials conspired against him and assassinated him in his palace. 25 Then the people(AE) of the land killed all who had plotted against King Amon, and they made Josiah his son king in his place.
