2 Kings, 21

1. Manasseh was twelve years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for fifty-five years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Hephzibah.

1. Manašeu je bilo dvanaest godina kad se zakraljio. Pedeset i pet godina kraljevao je u Jeruzalemu. Njegova se majka zvala Hefsi-Bah.

2. And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, in accord with the idols of the nations that the Lord destroyed before the face of the sons of Israel.

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

3. And he turned away. And he built up the high places that his father, Hezekiah, had destroyed. And he erected altars to Baal, and he made sacred groves, just as Ahab, the king of Israel, had done. 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 žrtvenik Baalu, naèinio ašere kako bijaše uèinio izraelski kralj Ahab; i stao se klanjati svoj vojsci nebeskoj i služiti joj.

4. And he constructed altars in the house of the Lord, about which the Lord said: “In Jerusalem, I will place my name.”

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

5. And he constructed altars, for the entire army of heaven, within the two courts of the temple of the Lord.

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

6. And he led his son through fire. And he used divinations, and observed omens, and appointed soothsayers, and multiplied diviners, so that he did evil before the Lord, and provoked him.

6. I sinove je svoje proveo kroz oganj. Vraèao je, gatao, stvorio bajaèe i opsjenare, uèinio je premnogo zla u oèima Jahve i razjarivao ga.

7. Also, he set up an idol, of the sacred grove that he had made, in the temple of the Lord, about which the Lord 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 place my name forever.

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

8. And I will no longer cause the feet of Israel to be moved from the land that I gave to their fathers: if only they will take care to do all that I have instructed them, and the entire law that my servant Moses commanded to them.”

8. Neæu više dati da noga Izraelaca uzmakne iz zemlje koju sam dao u baštinu njihovim oèevima, samo ako budu držali i provodili u djelo sve što sam im zapovjedio: Zakon što im ga je objavio moj sluga Mojsije."

9. Yet truly, they did not listen. Instead, they were seduced by Manasseh, so that they did evil, more so than the nations that the Lord crushed before the face of the sons of Israel.

9. Ali oni nisu poslušali, Manaše ih je zaveo te su radili još gore nego narodi što ih je Jahve iskorijenio pred Izraelovim sinovima.

10. And so the Lord spoke, by the hand of his servants, the prophets, saying:

10. Tada je Jahve ovako govorio preko slugu svojih proroka:

11. “Since Manasseh, the king of Judah, has committed these wicked abominations, beyond all that the Amorites before him have done, and also has caused Judah to sin by his defilements,

11. "Zato što je judejski kralj Manaše èinio te gnusobe, zato što je uèinio više zla nego što su prije njega radili Amorejci i što je zaveo Judejce svojim idolima,

12. because of this, thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Behold, I will lead evils over Jerusalem and over Judah, such that, whoever will hear of these things, both his ears will ring.

12. ovako veli Jahve, Bog Izraelov: 'Evo, uèinit æu da doðe nevolja na Jeruzalem i Judeju, takva da æe zazujati oba uha onima koji o njoj èuju.

13. And I will extend the measuring line of Samaria over Jerusalem, with the scale of the house of Ahab. And I will erase Jerusalem, just as writing tablets are usually erased. And after erasing, I will turn it and repeatedly drag a stylus over its surface.

13. Nategnut æu nad Jeruzalemom isto uže kao nad Samarijom, isto mjerilo kao nad kuæom Ahabovom; zbrisat æu Jeruzalem kao što se briše zdjela pa se tad izvrne.

14. And truly, I will send away the remnants of my inheritance, and I will deliver them into the hands of their enemies. And they will be devastated and plundered by all their adversaries.

14. Odbacit æu ostatke svoje baštine, predat æu ih u ruke njihovih neprijatelja; služit æe za plijen i grabež svim svojim neprijateljima

15. For they have done evil before me, and they have persevered in provoking me, from the day when their fathers departed from Egypt, even to this day.

15. jer su èinili što je zlo u mojim oèima jer su izazivali moj gnjev od dana kada su njihovi oci izišli iz Egipta pa sve do danas.'"

16. Moreover, Manasseh also has shed an exceedingly great amount of innocent blood, until he filled Jerusalem even to the mouth, aside from his sins by which he caused Judah to sin, so that they did evil before the Lord.”

16. I mnogo je nedužne krvi prolio Manaše, tako da se njome napunio Jeruzalem od jednoga kraja do drugoga, da se i ne spominje njegov grijeh kojim je zaveo Judu da èini što je zlo u oèima Jahvinim.

17. Now the rest of the words of Manasseh, and all that he did, and his sin that he sinned, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah?

17. Ostala povijest Manašeova, njegova djela i grijesi koje je poèinio, zar sve to nije zapisano u knjizi Ljetopisa judejskih kraljeva?

18. And Manasseh slept with his fathers, and he was buried in the garden of his own house, in the garden of Uzza. And Amon, his son, reigned in his place.

18. Manaše je poèinuo kraj svojih otaca i sahranjen je u vrtu svojeg dvora, u vrtu Uzinu. Sin mu Amon zakralji se mjesto njega.

19. Amon was twenty-two years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for two years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Meshullemeth, the daughter of Haruz, from Jotbah.

19. Amonu bijahu dvadeset i dvije godine kad je zavladao, a kraljevao je dvije godine u Jeruzalemu. Njegova se majka zvala Mešulemet, kæi Harusova, i bila je iz Jotbe.

20. And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, just as his father, Manasseh, had done.

20. On je èinio što je zlo u oèima Jahvinim, kao što je èinio njegov otac Manaše.

21. And he walked in all the ways in which his father had walked. And he served the unclean things that his father had served, and he adored them.

21. U svemu je slijedio put svoga oca, služio je idolima kojima je služio i njegov otac i klanjao im se.

22. And he abandoned the Lord, the God of his fathers, and he did not walk in the way of the Lord.

22. On je ostavio Jahvu, Boga svojih praotaca, i nije hodio putem Jahvinim.

23. And his servants undertook treachery against him. And they killed the king in his own house.

23. Amonovi se èasnici urotiše protiv njega i ubiše kralja u dvoru.

24. But the people of the land slew all those who had conspired against king Amon. And they appointed for themselves Josiah, his son, as king in his place.

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

25. But the rest of the words of Amon, which he did, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah?

25. Ostala povijest Amonova i sve što je èinio, zar sve to nije zapisano u knjizi Ljetopisa judejskih kraljeva?

26. And they buried him in his sepulcher, in the garden of Uzza. And his son, Josiah, reigned in his place.

26. Pokopali su ga u grobnicu njegova oca, u vrtu Uzinu, a njegov sin Jošija zakralji se mjesto njega.
