2 Crônicas 33

Ko Kīngi Mānahi o Hūrā

1 Tekau mā rua ngā tau o Mānahi i tōna kīngitanga, ā, e rima tekau mā rima ōna tau i kīngi ai ia ki Hiruhārama. 2 Ā, he kino tāna mahi ki te titiro a Ihowā, i rite ki ngā mea whakarihariha a ngā iwi i peia nei e Ihowā i te aroaro o ngā tama a Īharaira. 3 I hangā anō hoki e ia ngā wāhi tiketike i wāhia e tōna pāpā, e Hetekia; i whakaara i ngā āta ki ngā Paara, i hangā Aherimi; koropiko ana ia ki te ope o te rangi, mahi ana ki a rātou. 4 I hangā anō e ia ētahi āta ki te whare o Ihowā, ki tā Ihowā i kī rā, "Ko Hiruhārama hei waihotanga mō tōku ingoa ake ake." 5 I hangā anō e ia ētahi āta mā te ope katoa o te rangi ki ngā marae e rua o te whare o Ihowā. 6 Meatia ana e ia āna tamariki kia tika nā waenganui i te ahi i te aroaro o te tama a Hinomo, rapua ana e ia he tohu i ngā kapua, i ngā nākahi. Kei te mākutu anō ia, kei te whai ki ngā atua māori, ki ngā mata māori. Nui atu tāna kino i mahi ai ki te titiro a Ihowā, hei whakapātaritari mōna.

7 I whakatūria anō e ia te whakapakoko, te āhua i hangā e ia, ki te whare o te Atua, ki tā te Atua i kī rā ki a Rāwiri rāua ko tāna tama, ko Horomona, "Hei tēnei whare, hei Hiruhārama i whiriwhiria nei e ahau i roto i ngā iwi katoa o Īharaira, ahau waiho ai i tōku ingoa ā ake ake; 8 ā, heoi āku whakanekehanga i te waewae o Īharaira i te whenua i whakaritea e ahau mō ō koutou mātua kia mau rāia rātou ki te mahi i ngā mea katoa i whakahaua e ahau ki a rātou, kia rite ki te ture katoa, ki ngā tikanga, ki ngā whakaritenga i whakapuakina nei e Mohi." 9 Heoi, whakakotititia ana e Mānahi a Hūrā me ngā tāngata o Hiruhārama kia nui atu tā rātou mahi kino i tā ngā iwi i hunā nei e Ihowā i te aroaro o ngā tama a Īharaira.

Ka Rīpenetā a Manahi

10 I kōrero hoki a Ihowā ki a Mānahi rātou ko tōna iwi; heoi kīhai rātou i rongo. 11 Nā reira i kawea mai ai e Ihowā ki runga ki a rātou ngā rangatira o te ope o te kīngi o Ahiria; ā, ka mau i a rātou a Mānahi i te taura maitai; herea iho ki te mekameka, kawea ana ki Papurōna. 12 Nā, i a ia i te hē, ka īnoi ia ki a Ihowā, ki tōna Atua, ka whakaiti rawa i a ia i te aroaro o te Atua o ōna mātua, 13 īnoi ana ki a ia; ā, ka tahuri tērā ki a ia, ka rongo ki tāna īnoi. Nā, ka whakahokia ia ki Hiruhārama, ki tōna kīngitanga. Kātahi ka mōhio a Mānahi ko Ihowā te Atua.

14 I muri i tēnei ka hangā e ia he taiepa i waho o te pā o Rāwiri, i te taha ki te hauāuru o Kihona, ki te awaawa, ā tae noa ki te tomokanga i te Kūwaha Ika; ā, taiepatia ana a Ōpere ā whawhe noa, hangā ana e ia kia tiketike rawa. I whakanohoia anō e ia ētahi rangatira māia ki ngā pā taiepa katoa o Hūrā.

15 I whakakāhoretia anō e ia ngā atua kē, me te whakapakoko i roto i te whare o Ihowā, me ngā āta katoa i hangā e ia ki te maunga o te whare o Ihowā ki Hiruhārama; ākiritia atu ana e ia ki waho o te pā. 16 I hangā anō e ia te āta a Ihowā; patua iho e ia ki runga he patunga mō te pai, ā, mō te whakawhetai, i kī atu anō ki a Hūrā kia mahi ki a Ihowā, ki te Atua o Īharaira. 17 I patu whakahere anō ia te iwi i runga i ngā wāhi tiketike; otiia ki a Ihowā, ki tō rātou Atua anake.

Te Mutunga o te Kīngitanga o Manahi

18 Nā, ko ērā atu meatanga a Mānahi, me tāna īnoi ki tōna Atua, me ngā kōrero a ngā matakite i kōrero nei ki a ia i runga i te ingoa o Ihowā, o te Atua o Īharaira, nanā, kei ngā pukapuka o ngā mahi a ngā kīngi o Īharaira. 19 Nā, ko tāna īnoi, me tō te Atua tahuritanga ki a ia, me tōna hara katoa, me tōna hē, me ngā wāhi i hangā ai e ia ngā wāhi tiketike, i whakatūria ai e ia ngā Aherimi, me ngā whakapakoko i te mea kīanō ia i whakaiti i a ia, nanā, kei te tuhituhi i roto i ngā kōrero a Hohai. 20 Heoi, kua moe a Mānahi ki ōna mātua, ā, tanumia iho ki tōna whare, ā, ko tāna tama, ko Amono, te kīngi i muri i a ia.

Ko Kīngi Amona o Hūrā

21 E rua tekau mā rua ngā tau o Amono i tōna kīngitanga, ā, e rua ngā tau i kīngi ai ia ki Hiruhārama. 22 Ā, he kino tāna mahi ki tā Ihowā titiro, i rite ki tā tōna pāpā, ki tā Mānahi i mea ai. I patu whakahere hoki a Amono ki ngā whakapakoko katoa i hangā e tōna pāpā, e Mānahi, ā, mahi ana ki a rātou. 23 Kīhai hoki i whakaiti i a ia ki te aroaro o Ihowā, kīhai i pērā me tōna pāpā, me Mānahi i whakaiti nei; heoi nui noa atu te hē o taua Amono nei.

24 Nā, kua whakatupuria he hē mōna e āna tāngata; patua iho ia ki roto ki tōna ake whare. 25 Otiia, i patua e te iwi o te whenua ngā tāngata katoa i whakatupuria ai te hē mō Kīngi Amono; ā, ka meinga e te iwi o te whenua tāna tama, a Hōhia, hei kīngi i muri i a ia.

1 Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign; and he reigned fifty and five years in Jerusalem. 2 And he did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, after the abominations of the nations whom Jehovah cast out before the children of Israel. 3 For he built again the high places which Hezekiah his father had broken down; and he reared up altars for the Baalim, and made Asheroth, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served them. 4 And he built altars in the house of Jehovah, whereof Jehovah said, In Jerusalem shall my name be for ever. 5 And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of Jehovah. 6 He also made his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom; and he practised augury, and used enchantments, and practised sorcery, and dealt with them that had familiar spirits, and with wizards: he wrought much evil in the sight of Jehovah, to provoke him to anger. 7 And he set the graven image of the idol, which he had made, 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, will I put my name for ever: 8 neither will I any more remove the foot of Israel from off the land which I have appointed for your fathers, if only they will observe to do all that I have commanded them, even all the law and the statutes and the ordinances given by Moses. 9 And Manasseh seduced Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that they did evil more than did the nations whom Jehovah destroyed before the children of Israel.

10 And Jehovah spake to Manasseh, and to his people; but they gave no heed. 11 Wherefore Jehovah brought upon them the captains of the host of the king of Assyria, who took Manasseh in chains, and bound him with fetters, and carried him to Babylon. 12 And when he was in distress, he besought Jehovah his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers. 13 And he prayed unto him; and he was entreated of him, and heard his supplication, and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that Jehovah he was God.

14 Now after this he built an outer wall to the city of David, on the west side of Gihon, in the valley, even to the entrance at the fish gate; and he compassed Ophel about with it, and raised it up to a very great height: and he put valiant captains in all the fortified cities of Judah. 15 And he took away the foreign gods, and the idol out of the house of Jehovah, and all the altars that he had built in the mount of the house of Jehovah, and in Jerusalem, and cast them out of the city. 16 And he built up the altar of Jehovah, and offered thereon sacrifices of peace-offerings and of thanksgiving, and commanded Judah to serve Jehovah, the God of Israel. 17 Nevertheless the people sacrificed still in the high places, but only unto Jehovah their God.

18 Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and his prayer unto his God, and the words of the seers that spake to him in the name of Jehovah, the God of Israel, behold, they are written among the acts of the kings of Israel. 19 His prayer also, and how God was entreated of him, and all his sin and his trespass, and the places wherein he built high places, and set up the Asherim and the graven images, before he humbled himself, behold, they are written in the history of Hozai. 20 So Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they buried him in his own house: and Amon his son reigned in his stead.

21 Amon was twenty and two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned two years in Jerusalem. 22 And he did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, as did Manasseh his father; and Amon sacrificed unto all the graven images which Manasseh his father had made, and served them. 23 And he humbled not himself before Jehovah, as Manasseh his father had humbled himself; but this same Amon trespassed more and more. 24 And his servants conspired against him, and put him to death in his own house. 25 But the people of the land slew all them that had conspired against king Amon; and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his stead.
