Verse 1

Manasse var tolv år gammel da han ble konge, og han regjerte femtifem år i Jerusalem. Hans mor het Hefsibah.

Manasseh was twelve years old when he became king, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Hephzibah.

Verse 2

Han gjorde det som var ondt i Herrens øyne, etter de avskyelige handlingene til de folkeslagene som Herren hadde drevet bort foran Israels sønner.

He did what was evil in the sight of the LORD, following the abominations of the nations that the LORD had driven out before the people of Israel.

Verse 3

Han gjenreiste offerhaugene som Hiskia, hans far, hadde ødelagt, og bygde altere for Ba’al og laget en Asjerapæl, slik Akab, Israels konge, hadde gjort. Han bøyde seg og tilba alle himmelens hærskarer og dyrket dem.

He rebuilt the high places that his father Hezekiah had destroyed, set up altars for Baal, and made an Asherah, as King Ahab of Israel had done. He bowed down to all the host of heaven and served them.

Verse 4

Han bygde altere i Herrens hus, der Herren hadde sagt: I Jerusalem vil jeg sette mitt navn.

He built altars in the house of the LORD, about which the LORD had said, 'In Jerusalem I will put My name.'

Verse 5

Og han bygde altere for alle himmelens hærskarer i de to forgårdene i Herrens hus.

He built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the LORD's house.

Verse 6

Han lot sin sønn gå gjennom ilden, utøvde spådomskunster og hekseri, og holdt ånder og spiritister. Han gjorde mye ondt i Herrens øyne og vakte Hans vrede.

He sacrificed his own son by fire, practiced divination and omen reading, and consulted mediums and spiritists. He did much evil in the sight of the LORD, provoking Him to anger.

Verse 7

Han satte det skårne bildet av Asjera som han hadde laget i templet, som Herren hadde sagt til David og hans sønn Salomo: I dette huset og i Jerusalem, som jeg har valgt ut blant alle Israels stammer, vil jeg sette mitt navn for evig.

He placed the carved Asherah image he had made in the house about which the LORD had 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, I will put My name forever.

Verse 8

Jeg vil ikke mer la Israel vanke omkring uten deres fedres jord, hvis de bare vil følge alt jeg har befalt dem og hele loven som min tjener Moses ga dem.

I will no longer make Israel's feet wander from the land I gave their fathers, if only they will carefully do everything I commanded them and keep the whole law that My servant Moses gave them.'

Verse 9

Men de lyttet ikke, og Manasse forførte dem til å gjøre det som var verre enn de folkeslagene Herren hadde utslettet foran Israels barn.

But they did not listen. Manasseh led them astray to do more evil than the nations that the LORD had destroyed before the Israelites.

Verse 10

Da talte Herren ved sine tjenere profetene og sa:

The LORD spoke through His servants the prophets, saying:

Verse 11

Fordi Manasse, Juda konge, har begått disse avskyelige gjerningene og gjort mer ondt enn alt det som amorittene som var før ham gjorde, og fordi han også har latt Juda synde med sine avguder,

'Because Manasseh king of Judah has done these detestable things, acting more wickedly than all the Amorites who were before him, and has caused Judah to sin with his idols,'

Verse 12

derfor sier Herren, Israels Gud: Se, jeg vil føre ulykke over Jerusalem og Juda som vil få alle som hører om det til å grøsse, og deres ører vil klirre.

'therefore this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: I am about to bring such disaster upon Jerusalem and Judah that the ears of everyone who hears of it will tingle.'

Verse 13

Jeg vil dra ut målesnoren over Jerusalem som jeg strakk over Samaria, og loddsnoren til Akabs hus, og jeg vil tørke av Jerusalem som man tørker av en skål, vender den opp ned.

I will stretch over Jerusalem the measuring line of Samaria and the plumb line of the house of Ahab. I will wipe Jerusalem as one wipes a dish, wiping it and turning it upside down.

Verse 14

Jeg vil forkaste resten av min arv og overgi dem i fiendens hånd; de skal bli til bytte og rov for alle fiender,

I will abandon the remnant of My inheritance and give them into the hands of their enemies. They will become plunder and spoil for all their enemies,

Verse 15

fordi de har gjort det som er ondt i mine øyne og fortsetter å vekke min harme fra den dagen deres fedre kom ut av Egypt og helt til denne dag.

because they have done what is evil in My sight and have provoked Me to anger since the day their ancestors came out of Egypt until this day.

Verse 16

Manasse utøste også uskyldig blod i svært stor mengde, til han hadde fylt Jerusalem fra den ene enden til den andre, i tillegg til de syndene han fikk Juda til å gjøre, slik at de handlet ondt i Herrens øyne.

Moreover, Manasseh shed so much innocent blood that he filled Jerusalem from end to end—besides the sin he caused Judah to commit, leading them to do evil in the sight of the LORD.

Verse 17

Resten av Manasses historie, alt han gjorde, og den synden han begikk, står det ikke skrevet i Judas kongers krønike?

As for the rest of the acts of Manasseh and all he did, including the sin he committed, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?

Verse 18

Manasse la seg til hvile hos sine fedre og ble gravlagt i hagen i sin egen hus, i Uzzas hage. Hans sønn Amon ble konge etter ham.

Manasseh rested with his fathers and was buried in the garden of his house, in the garden of Uzza. His son Amon reigned in his place.

Verse 19

Amon var tjueto år gammel da han ble konge, og han regjerte to år i Jerusalem. Hans mor het Mesjullemet, datter av Haruz fra Jotba.

Amon was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Meshullemeth daughter of Haruz; she was from Jotbah.

Verse 20

Han gjorde det som var ondt i Herrens øyne, slik Manasse, hans far, hadde gjort.

He did evil in the sight of the LORD, as his father Manasseh had done.

Verse 21

Han fulgte nøyaktig den vei som hans far hadde gått, og han tjente de avgudene som hans far hadde tjent, og tilba dem.

Amon walked in all the ways his father had walked; he served and worshipped the idols his father had worshipped.

Verse 22

Han forlot Herren, sine fedres Gud, og gikk ikke på Herrens veier.

He abandoned the LORD, the God of his fathers, and did not walk in the way of the LORD.

Verse 23

Amons tjenere dannet en sammensvergelse mot ham og drepte kongen i hans eget hus.

Amon’s servants conspired against him and killed the king in his own house.

Verse 24

Men folkene i landet slo alle som hadde konspirert mot kong Amon, og de innsatte hans sønn Josjia som konge i hans sted.

But the people of the land struck down all those who had conspired against King Amon, and they made Josiah, his son, king in his place.

Verse 25

Resten av Amons historie, det han gjorde, står det ikke skrevet i Judas kongers krønike?

As for the rest of the acts of Amon and what he did, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?

He was buried in his tomb in the garden of Uzza, and his son Josiah became king in his place.
