Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1Manasseh was twelve years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem fifty-five years. His mother’s name was Hephzibah.
1Naʻe hongofulu ma ua ʻae taʻu ʻo Manase ʻi heʻene kamata pule, pea naʻe pule ia ʻi he taʻu ʻe nimangofulu ma nima ʻi Selūsalema. Pea ko e hingoa ʻo ʻene faʻē ko Hefisipa.
2And he did evil in the sight of the LORD by following the abominations of the nations that the LORD had driven out before the Israelites.
2Pea naʻe fai ʻe ia ʻae kovi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ʻo fakatatau mo e ngaahi meʻa kovi ʻae hiteni, ʻaia naʻe kapusi ʻe Sihova mei he ʻao ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.
3For he rebuilt the high places that his father Hezekiah had destroyed, and he raised up altars for Baal. He made an Asherah pole, as King Ahab of Israel had done, and he worshiped and served all the host of heaven.
3He naʻa ne toe langa hake ʻae ngaahi potu māʻolunga ʻaia naʻe fakaʻauha ʻe heʻene tamai ko Hesekaia: pea naʻa ne fokotuʻu hake ʻae ngaahi feilaulauʻanga kia Peali, ʻo ne ngaohi ʻae vaotapu, ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe fai ʻe ʻEhapi ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, pea naʻe lotu ia ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻoe langi, mo ne tauhi ʻakinautolu.
4Manasseh also built altars in the house of the LORD, of which the LORD had said, “In Jerusalem I will put My Name.”
4Pea naʻe ngaohi ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi feilaulauʻanga ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova, ʻaia naʻe folofola ki ai ʻa Sihova, Te u ʻai hoku huafa ʻi Selūsalema.
5In both courtyards of the house of the LORD, he built altars to all the host of heaven.
5Pea naʻe ngaohi ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi feilaulauʻanga ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻae langi ʻi he lotoʻā ʻe ua ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova.
6He sacrificed his own son in the fire, practiced sorcery and divination, and consulted mediums and spiritists. He did great evil in the sight of the LORD, provoking Him to anger.
6Pea naʻa ne tuku hono foha ke ʻalu ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe afi, pea naʻe tokanga ia ki he ngaahi kuonga, pea naʻa ne fai ʻae tuki fakatēvolo pea naʻe kau ia mo e kau laumālie kovi mo e kau kikite loi: naʻe fai ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi angakovi lahi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ke fakatupu hono houhau.
7Manasseh even took the carved Asherah pole he had made and set it up in the temple, of which the LORD had said to David and his son Solomon, “In this temple and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, I will establish My Name forever.
7Pea naʻe fokotuʻu ʻe ia ʻae tamapua ʻi he vao tapu naʻa ne ngaohi ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova, ʻaia naʻe folofola ai ʻe Sihova kia Tevita, pea kia Solomone ko hono foha, “Te u ʻai hoku hingoa ʻo taʻengata ki he fale ni, pea ʻi Selūsalema, ʻaia kuo u fili mei he ngaahi faʻahinga kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli.
8I will never again cause the feet of the Israelites to wander from the land that I gave to their fathers, if only they are careful to do all I have commanded them—the whole Law that My servant Moses commanded them.”
8Pea ʻe ʻikai te u toe hiki ʻae vaʻe ʻo ʻIsileli mei he fonua ʻaia ne u foaki ki heʻenau ngaahi tamai; ʻo kapau pe te nau tokanga ke fai ʻo hangē ko ia kotoa pē naʻaku fekau kiate kinautolu, pea fakatatau ki he fono kotoa pē ʻaia naʻe fekau ʻe heʻeku tamaioʻeiki ko Mōsese kiate kinautolu.”
9But the people did not listen and Manasseh led them astray, so that they did greater evil than the nations that the LORD had destroyed before the Israelites.
9Ka naʻe ʻikai te nau tokanga: pea naʻe fakahēʻi ʻakinautolu ʻe Manase ke nau fai kovi lahi hake ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga ʻaia naʻe fakaʻauha ʻe Sihova mei he ʻao ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.
10And the LORD spoke through His servants the prophets, saying,
10¶ Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova ʻi heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki ko e kau palōfita, ʻo pehē,
11“Since Manasseh king of Judah has committed all these abominations, acting more wickedly than the Amorites who preceded him, and with his idols has caused Judah to sin,
11“Ko e meʻa ʻi he fai ʻe Manase ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta ʻae ngaahi angakovi lahi ni, pea kuo ne fai angakovi lahi hake ʻaupito ʻi he meʻa naʻe fai ʻe he kakai ʻAmoni ʻaia naʻe ʻi muʻa ʻiate ia, pea kuo ne fakaangahalaʻi ʻa Siuta ʻaki ʻa ʻene ngaahi ʻotua loi:
12this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘Behold, I am bringing such calamity upon Jerusalem and Judah that the news will reverberate in the ears of all who hear it.
12Ko ia ʻoku pehē ai ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, Vakai, ʻOku ou ʻomi ha kovi pehē ki Selūsalema, mo Siuta, ko ia fulipē ʻe fanongo ki ai ʻe vavana hono telinga fakatouʻosi pe.
13I will stretch out over Jerusalem the measuring line used against Samaria and the plumb line used against the house of Ahab, and I will wipe out Jerusalem as one wipes out a bowl—wiping it and turning it upside down.
13Pea te u falō atu ʻi ʻolunga ki Selūsalema ʻae afo ʻo Samēlia, mo e afo fakafuofua ʻoe fale ʻo ʻEhapi: pea te u holoholo ʻa Selūsalema ʻo hangē ko e holoholo ʻae ipukai ʻae tangata, ʻo holoholo ia, pea fakafoʻohifo ki lalo.
14So I will forsake the remnant of My inheritance and deliver them into the hands of their enemies. And they will become plunder and spoil to all their enemies,
14Pea te u liʻaki hono toe ʻo hoku tofiʻa, pea tukuange ʻakinautolu ki he nima ʻo honau fili: pea te nau hoko ko e meʻa ke vete mo maumau ʻe honau ngaahi fili kotoa pē;
15because they have done evil in My sight and have provoked Me to anger from the day their fathers came out of Egypt until this day.’”
15Ko e meʻa ʻi heʻenau fai kovi ʻi hoku ʻao, mo fakatupu ʻeku houhau, talu ʻae ʻaho naʻe haʻu ai ʻenau ngaahi tamai mei ʻIsipite, ʻio, ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni.”
16Moreover, Manasseh shed so much innocent blood that he filled Jerusalem from end to end, in addition to the sin that he had caused Judah to commit, doing evil in the sight of the LORD.
16Ka ko eni, naʻe lingi ʻe Manase ʻae toto māʻoniʻoni ʻo lahi ʻaupito, mo ne fakafonu ʻaki ia ʻa Selūsalema mei he potu ʻe taha ki he potu ʻe taha; kaeʻumaʻā foki ʻa ʻene angahala ʻaia naʻa ne fakaangahala ai ʻa Siuta, ʻi he fai ʻaia naʻe kovi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova.
17As for the rest of the acts of Manasseh, along with all his accomplishments and the sin that he committed, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
17¶ Pea ko hono toe ʻoe ngaahi ngāue ʻa Manase, mo ia kotoa pē naʻa ne fai, mo ʻene angahala ʻaia naʻa ne fai, ʻikai kuo tohi ʻi he tohi fakamatala ki he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Siuta?
18And Manasseh rested with his fathers and was buried in his palace garden, the garden of Uzza. And his son Amon reigned in his place.
18Pea naʻe mohe ʻa Manase mo ʻene ngaahi tamai, pea naʻe tanu ia ʻi he ngoue ʻo hono fale ʻoʻona, ʻi he ngoue ʻo Usa: pea naʻe fetongi ia ʻi he pule ʻe ʻAmoni ko hono foha.
19Amon was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem two years. His mother’s name was Meshullemeth daughter of Haruz; she was from Jotbah.
19¶ Naʻe uofulu ma ua ʻae taʻu ʻae motuʻa ʻo ʻAmoni ʻi heʻene kamata ʻene pule, pea naʻe pule ia ʻi he taʻu ʻe ua ʻi Selūsalema. Pea ko e hingoa ʻo ʻene faʻē ko Mesulemeti, ko e ʻofefine ʻo Halusi ʻoe kakai Sotipa.
20And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, as his father Manasseh had done.
20Pea naʻe fai ʻe ia ʻae kovi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ʻo hangē ko ʻene tamai ko Manase.
21He walked in all the ways of his father, and he served and worshiped the idols his father had served.
21Pea naʻe ʻalu ia ʻi he hala kotoa pē naʻe ʻalu ai ʻene tamai, mo ne tauhi ʻae ngaahi ʻotua loi naʻe tauhi ʻe heʻene tamai, ʻo ne lotu kiate kinautolu:
22He abandoned the LORD, the God of his fathers, and did not walk in the way of the LORD.
22Pea naʻa ne liʻaki ʻe ia ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻene ngaahi tamai, pea naʻe ʻikai ʻalu ia ʻi he hala ʻo Sihova.
23Then the servants of Amon conspired against him and killed the king in his palace.
23¶ Pea naʻe teu ʻae lapa ʻe he kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa ʻAmoni kiate ia, ʻonau tāmateʻi ʻae tuʻi ʻi hono fale ʻoʻona.
24But the people of the land killed all those who had conspired against King Amon, and they made his son Josiah king in his place.
24Pea naʻe tāmateʻi ʻe he kakai ʻoe fonua ʻakinautolu kotoa pē naʻe kau ki he tuʻi ko ʻAmoni: pea naʻe fakanofo ʻe he kakai ʻoe fonua ʻa Sosaia ko hono foha ke tuʻi ia ko hono fetongi.
25As for the rest of the acts of Amon, along with his accomplishments, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
25Pea ko hono toe ʻoe ngaahi ngāue naʻe fai ʻe ʻAmoni, ʻikai kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi fakamatala ki he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Siuta?
26And he was buried in his tomb in the garden of Uzza, and his son Josiah reigned in his place.
26Pea naʻe tanu ia ʻi he fonualoto ʻi he ngoue ʻo Usa; pea naʻe fetongi ia ʻi he pule ʻe hono foha ko Sosaia.
