2 Chronicles, 33

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

1. Manašeu je bilo dvanaest godina kad se zakraljio. Pedeset i pet godina kraljevao je u Jeruzalemu.

2. 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.

2. Èinio je što je zlo u Jahvinim oèima, povodeæi se za gnusobama naroda što ih je Jahve protjerao pred sinovima Izraelovim.

3. 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.

3. Obnovio je uzvišice što ih bijaše oborio otac mu Ezekija, podigao je žrtvenike Baalu, naèinio ašere i stao se klanjati svoj nebeskoj vojsci i služiti joj.

4. Also, he built altars in the house of the Lord, about which the Lord had said, “My name shall be in Jerusalem forever.”

4. Podigao je žrtvenike i u Domu Jahvinu, za koji bijaše rekao Jahve: "U Jeruzalemu æe prebivati Ime moje zauvijek."

5. But he built these for the entire army of heaven, in the two courts of the house of the Lord.

5. Sagradio je žrtvenike svoj nebeskoj vojsci u oba predvorja Doma Jahvina.

6. 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.

6. I sinove je svoje proveo kroz oganj u dolini Hinomova sina. Vraèao je, gatao, èarao, stvorio bajaèe i opsjenare i uopæe uèinio premnogo zla u Jahvinim oèima razjarujuæi ga.

7. 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.

7. Naèinio je idolski lik i posadio ga u Domu Božjem, za koji Bog bijaše rekao Davidu i njegovu sinu Salomonu: "U ovom Domu i u Jeruzalemu, koji sam izabrao meðu svim izraelskim plemenima, postavit æu Ime svoje zauvijek.

8. 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.”

8. Neæu više dati da noga Izraelaca uzmakne iz zemlje koju sam dao u baštinu vašim oèevima, samo ako budu držali i provodili u djelo sve što sam im zapovjedio: sav Zakon, uredbe i obièaje dane preko Mojsija."

9. 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.

9. Ali je Manaše zaveo Judejce i Jeruzalemce te su radili još gore nego narodi što ih je Jahve iskorijenio pred sinovima Izraelovim.

10. And the Lord spoke to him and to his people, but they were not willing to pay attention.

10. Jahve je opominjao Manašea i njegov narod, ali oni nisu poslušali.

11. 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.

11. Stoga je Jahve doveo na njih vojskovoðe asirskoga kralja. Uhvativši Manašea kukama, svezali su ga u dvoje mjedene verige i odveli u Babilon.

12. 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.

12. Kad se našao u nevolji, poèeo se moliti za milost Jahvi, svome Bogu, ponizivši se veoma pred Bogom otaca.

13. 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.

13. Molio se i Bog mu se smilovao te usliša njegovu prošnju i vrati ga u Jeruzalem u kraljevstvo. Manaše tada spozna da je Jahve Bog.

14. 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.

14. Poslije toga sagradio je vanjski zid Davidovu gradu zapadno od Gihona, od doline pa do Ribljih vrata, i opasao zidom Ofel, izvevši ga vrlo visoko. Postavio je bojne vojvode u svim tvrdim gradovima u Judi.

15. 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.

15. Osim toga, uklonio je iz Jahvina Doma tuðinske bogove, onaj idolski lik i sve žrtvenike što ih bijaše posagradio na gori Jahvina Doma i u Jeruzalemu i sve ih baci izvan grada.

16. 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.

16. Zatim opet podiže Jahvin žrtvenik i žrtvova na njemu žrtve prièesnice i zahvalnice. Zapovjedi i Judejcima da služe Jahvi, Bogu Izraelovu.

17. Yet still the people were immolating on the high places, to the Lord their God.

17. Ipak je narod još žrtvovao po uzvišicama, ali samo Jahvi, svojem Bogu.

18. 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.

18. Ostala Manašeova djela i njegova molitva Bogu, rijeèi koje su mu govorili vidioci u ime Jahve, Izraelova Boga, zapisane su u Povijesti izraelskih kraljeva.

19. 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.

19. Njegova molitva i kako je bio uslišan, svi njegovi grijesi i njegova nevjera te mjesta na kojima je pogradio uzvišice, podigao ašere i idole prije nego što se ponizio - sve je to zapisano u povijesti Hozajevoj.

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

20. Tada Manaše poèinu kraj svojih otaca. Sahranili su ga u dvoru. Na njegovo se mjesto zakraljio sim mu Amon.

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

21. Dvadeset su i dvije godine bile Amonu kad se zakraljio, a kraljevao je dvije godine u Jeruzalemu.

22. 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.

22. Èinio je što je zlo u Jahvinim oèima, kao i otac mu Manaše, jer je svim idolima koje bijaše naèinio njegov otac Manaše on prinosio žrtve i služio im.

23. But he did not turn his face to the Lord, as his father Manasseh had turned himself. And he sinned much more grievously.

23. Ali se nije ponizio pred Jahvom kako se ponizio otac mu Manaše, nego je još i umnožio svoju krivicu.

24. And when his servants had conspired against him, they killed him in his own house.

24. Tada se protiv njega urotiše njegove sluge i ubiše ga u dvoru.

25. 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.

25. Ali je prosti puk pobio sve one koji se bijahu urotili protiv kralja Amona i na njegovo mjesto zakraljio sina mu Jošiju.
