2 Istwa 33
1 Manase te gen douzan lè li moute wa peyi Jida. Li gouvènen nan lavil Jerizalèm pandan senkannsenkan.
Manasseh was twelve years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for fifty-five years in Jerusalem.
2 Li fè sa ki mal devan Seyè a, dapre vye prensip krimenèl lòt nasyon Seyè a te mete deyò pou fè plas pou moun pèp Izrayèl yo.
But he did evil before the Lord, in accord with all the abominations of the nations which the Lord overturned before the sons of Israel.
3 Li rebati tanp bondye lòt nasyon Ezekyas, papa l', te fè kraze yo. Li bati lotèl pou Baal, li fè yon estati Achera. Lèfini, li adore dènye zetwal ki nan syèl la, li fè sèvis pou yo.
And turning away, he repaired the high places, which had been demolished by his father, Hezekiah. And he constructed altars to the Baals, and made sacred groves. And he adored the entire army of heaven, and he served them.
4 Li menm rive bati lotèl pou zidòl nan Tanp Seyè a menm, kote Seyè a te di se la l'ap rete nan lavil Jerizalèm pou toutan.
Also, he built altars in the house of the Lord, about which the Lord had said, “My name shall be in Jerusalem forever.”
5 Li fè bati lotèl nan de lakou tanp Seyè a pou tout zetwal ki nan syèl la.
But he built these for the entire army of heaven, in the two courts of the house of the Lord.
6 Li ofri pitit gason l' pou yo boule sou lotèl zidòl yo nan Fon Inon an. Li lage kò l' nan li nwaj nan syèl la ak nan fè maji pou konnen sa ki gen pou rive. Li ankouraje divinò yo ak moun ki konn rele mò pou pale ak yo. Li donnen nan fè sa ki mal devan Seyè a pou l' te fè Seyè a move jouk li pa kapab ankò.
And he caused his sons to pass through fire in the Valley of the son of Hinnom. He observed dreams, followed divinations, served the occult arts, had with him magicians and enchanters, and worked many evils before the Lord, so that he provoked him.
7 Li fè fè yon estati zidòl mete nan Tanp Seyè a, atout Seyè a te pale ak David ansanm ak Salomon, pitit li. Li te pale ak yo sou Tanp lan, li te di yo se isit lavil Jerizalèm, nan Tanp kote mwen te chwazi nan tout peyi douz branch fanmi pèp Izrayèl la, pou yo fè sèvis pou mwen.
Also, he set up a graven image and molten statue in the house of God, about which God said to David, and to his son Solomon: “In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen from all the tribes of Israel, I will place my name forever.
8 Depi moun pèp Izrayèl yo viv jan mwen mande yo viv la, si yo fè tou sa ki nan lalwa Moyiz, sèvitè m' lan, te ba yo a, mwen p'ap mete yo deyò nan peyi mwen te vle bay zansèt yo a.
And I will not cause the foot of Israel to be moved from the land which I delivered to their fathers. Yet this is so, only if they will take care to do what I have instructed them, by the hand of Moses, with the entire law and the ceremonies and the judgments.”
9 Men, Manase te lakòz pèp Jida a ak moun lavil Jerizalèm yo pèdi tèt yo, yo fè pi mal pase nasyon Seyè a te mete deyò nan peyi a pou fè plas pou yo.
And so Manasseh seduced Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that they did evil, more so than all the nations which the Lord had overturned before the face of the sons of Israel.
10 Seyè a te pale ak Manase ansanm ak pèp li a, men yo derefize koute l'.
And the Lord spoke to him and to his people, but they were not willing to pay attention.
11 Lè sa a, Seyè a voye chèf lame wa peyi Lasiri a vin atake yo. Yo mete men sou Manase, yo pase kwòk nan machwè li, yo mare l' ak de gwo chenn fèt an kwiv, yo mennen l' lavil Babilòn.
Therefore, he led over them the leaders of the army of the king of the Assyrians. And they captured Manasseh, and they led him, bound with chains and fetters, to Babylon.
12 Manase te nan gwo lafliksyon, li rele Seyè a, Bondye li a, li rekonèt tout fòt li yo devan Seyè a, Bondye zansèt li yo.
And after this, being in great anguish, he prayed to the Lord his God. And he did penance greatly before the God of his fathers.
13 Li lapriyè Bondye, Bondye tande lapriyè l' la, li ba li sa l' te mande a. Li fè l' tounen lavil Jerizalèm pou li al pran plas li ankò. Se konsa Manase vin konprann se Seyè a ki Bondye vre.
And he petitioned and begged him intently. And he heeded his prayer, and led him back to Jerusalem, into his kingdom. And Manasseh realized that the Lord himself was God.
14 Apre sa Manase bati yon miray byen wo sou deyò lavil David la, sou bò solèy kouche, bò sous Giyon an. Miray la pran depi nan ravin lan, li pase bò Pòtay Pwason yo, li fè wonn Ofèl la. Manase mete yon kòmandan nan tout lavil peyi Jida yo ki gen gwo ranpa.
After these things, he built a wall outside the City of David, to the west of Gihon, at the steep valley, from the entrance to the fish gate, circling around as far as Ophel. And he raised it up greatly. And he appointed leaders of the army in all the fortified cities of Judah.
15 Li wete tout estati zidòl lòt nasyon yo ak gwo estati ki te nan Tanp lan. Li kraze tout lotèl yo te bati sou mòn kote Tanp Seyè a te ye a ak nan lavil Jerizalèm. Li pran tout bagay sa yo, li voye yo jete an deyò lavil la.
And he took away the foreign gods, and the idol from the house of the Lord, and also the altars which he had made on the mount of the house of the Lord and in Jerusalem. And he cast all these things outside the city.
16 Li fè repare lotèl Seyè a, li fè ofrann pou mande Bondye padon ak pou di l' mèsi. Li mande pou tout moun nan peyi Jida a sèvi Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la.
Then he repaired the altar of the Lord, and he immolated upon it victims, and peace offerings, with praise. And he instructed Judah to serve the Lord, the God of Israel.
17 Pèp la te toujou ap ofri bèt pou yo touye lòt kote, men se te toujou pou Seyè a, Bondye yo a, ase.
Yet still the people were immolating on the high places, to the Lord their God.
18 Tout rès istwa Manase a, lapriyè li te fè nan pye Bondye li a, mesaj pwofèt yo te ba li nan non Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, tou sa ekri nan Liv Istwa wa pèp Izrayèl yo.
But the rest of the deeds of Manasseh, and his prayer to his God, and also the words of the seers who were speaking to him in the name of the Lord, the God of Israel, are contained in the words of the kings of Israel.
19 Lapriyè wa a te fè a, repons Bondye te ba li, tout peche l' yo, jan li te vire do bay Bondye, tout kote li te bati pou zidòl yo, estati Achera ak estati lòt zidòl li te fè fè pou l' te ka sèvi anvan li te rekonèt peche li yo, nou jwenn tou sa ekri nan Liv Istwa pwofèt Ozayi a.
Also, his prayer and its heeding, and all his sins and contempt, and the sites on which he built high places and made sacred groves and statues, before he repented, have been written in the words of Hozai.
20 Lè Manase mouri, yo antere l' nan jaden palè a. Se Amon, pitit gason l' lan, ki moute wa nan plas li.
Then Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they buried him in his own house. And his son, Amon, reigned in his place.
21 Amon te gen venndezan lè li moute wa peyi Jida a. Li gouvènen nan lavil Jerizalèm pandan dezan.
Amon was twenty-two years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for two years in Jerusalem.
22 Tankou Manase, papa l', li fè sa ki mal devan Seyè a. Li ofri bèt pou yo touye, li fè sèvis pou tout zidòl papa l' te fè fè yo.
And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, just as his father Manasseh had done. And he immolated to all the idols that Manasseh had fabricated, and he served them.
23 Men, li pa t' rekonèt peche l' yo devan Seyè a, tankou Manase, papa l', te fè l' la. Li menm rive fè pi mal pase papa l' toujou.
But he did not turn his face to the Lord, as his father Manasseh had turned himself. And he sinned much more grievously.
24 Chèf ki t'ap sèvi avèk Amon yo fè konplo, yo touye l' anndan palè a.
And when his servants had conspired against him, they killed him in his own house.
25 Moun peyi Jida yo touye mesye ki te fè konplo pou touye Amon yo. Yo mete Jozyas, pitit gason Amon an, wa nan plas li.
But the rest of the multitude of the people, having slain those who had struck down Amon, appointed his son, Josiah, as king in his place.
