1Naʻe hongofulu taʻu mo e taʻu ʻe ua ʻae motuʻa ʻo Manase ʻi heʻene kamata pule, pea naʻe pule ia ʻi Selūsalema ʻi he taʻu ʻe nimangofulu mo e taʻu ʻe nima.
1Manasses was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem.
2Ka naʻe fai ʻe ia ʻaia naʻe kovi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi angakovi ʻoe hiteni ʻaia naʻe kapusi ʻe Sihova mei he ʻao ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.
2And he did evil before the Lord, according to all the abominations of the nations, which the Lord cast out before the children of Israel:
3¶ He naʻa ne toe langaʻi ʻae ngaahi potu māʻolunga, ʻaia naʻe holoki hifo ʻe heʻene tamai ko Hesekaia, ʻo ne fokotuʻu ʻae ngaahi feilaulauʻanga kia Peali, ʻo ne ngaohi ʻae ngaahi vao tapu, pea lotu ia ki he meʻa kotoa pē ʻoe langi, pea ne tauhi ki ai.
3And he turned, and built again the high places which Ezechias his father had destroyed: and he built altars to Baalim, and made groves, and he adored all the host of heaven, and worshipped them.
4Pea naʻa ne langa ʻae ngaahi feilaulauʻanga ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova, ʻaia naʻe folofola ki ai ʻe Sihova, ʻE tuʻu hoku hingoa ʻi Selūsalema ʻo taʻengata.
4He built also altars in the house of the Lord, whereof the Lord had said: In Jerusalem shall my name be for ever.
5Pea naʻa ne langa ʻae ngaahi feilaulauʻanga ki he meʻa kotoa pē ʻoe langi ʻi he loto ʻā e ua ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova.
5And he built them for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the Lord.
6Pea naʻa ne pule ʻe ia ke ʻalu ʻene fānau ʻo ʻasi ʻi he afi ʻi he teleʻa ʻoe foha ʻo Henomi: pea naʻa ne tokanga foki ki he ngaahi kuonga, pea ne fai ʻae hū fakatēvolo, pea fai ʻae tuki fakatēvolo pea naʻe kaumeʻa ia ki he laumālie kovi, pea ki he kau kikite loi: naʻa ne fai ʻae kovi lahi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ke fakatupu ai ʻae houhau kiate ia.
6And he made his sons to pass through the fire in the valley of Benennom: he observed dreams, followed divinations, gave himself up to magic arts, had with him magicians, and enchanters: and he wrought many evils before the Lord, to provoke him to anger.
7Pea naʻe fokotuʻu ʻe ia ʻae tamapua naʻe tongi, ko e ʻotua loi naʻa ne ngaohi, ʻi he fale ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻaia naʻe folofola ai ʻae ʻOtua kia Tevita pea mo Solomone ko hono foha, “Te u tuku hoku hingoa ʻi he fale ni, pea ʻi Selūsalema ʻaia kuo u fili ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ngaahi faʻahinga kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli ke taʻengata:
7He set also a graven, and a molten statue in the house of God, of which God 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, will I put my name for ever.
8pea ʻe ʻikai te u toe hiki ʻae vaʻe ʻo ʻIsileli mei he fonua ʻaia naʻaku tuʻutuʻuni moʻo hoʻomou ngaahi tamai: ʻo kapau te nau tokanga ke fai ʻaia kotoa pē naʻaku fekau kiate kinautolu, ʻo fakatatau ki he fono kotoa mo e ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni, mo e ngaahi fakamaau ʻi he nima ʻo Mōsese.”
8And I will not make the foot of Israel to be removed out of the land which I have delivered to their fathers: yet so if they will take heed to do what I hare commanded them, and all the law, and the ceremonies, and judgments by the hand of Moses.
9Ko ia naʻe pule ʻe Manase kia Siuta mo e kakai ʻo Selūsalema ke nau hē, pea ke nau fai kovi lahi hake ʻi he hiteni, ʻaia naʻe fakaʻauha ʻe Sihova mei he ʻao ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.
9So Manasses seduced Juda, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, to do evil beyond all the nations, which the Lord had destroyed before the face of the children of Israel.
10Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Manase, pea mo ʻene kakai: ka naʻe ʻikai te nau fie tokanga.
10And the Lord spoke to him, and to his people, and they would not hearken.
11¶ Ko ia naʻe ʻomi ai ʻe Sihova kiate kinautolu ʻae ngaahi ʻeiki ʻoe tau ʻoe tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia, ʻaia naʻa nau puke ʻa Manase ʻi he ngaahi talaʻi ʻakau, pea haʻi ʻaki ia ʻae ngaahi meʻa haʻi, pea ʻave ia ki Papilone.
11Therefore he brought upon them the captains of the army of the king of the Assyrians: and they took Manasses, and carried him bound with chains and fetters to Babylon.
12Pea kuo moʻua ia ʻi he mamahi, naʻa ne hū ai kia Sihova, ko hono ʻOtua, ʻo ne fakavaivai lahi ia ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua ʻo ʻene ngaahi tamai,
12And after that he was in distress he prayed to the Lord his God: and did penance exceedingly before the God of his fathers.
13Pea naʻe lotu ia kiate ia: pea naʻa ne talia ʻe ia ia, ʻo tokangaʻi ʻene lotu fakakolekole, pea ne toe ʻomi ia ki Selūsalema ki hono puleʻanga. Pea naʻe toki ʻilo ai ʻe Manase ko Sihova ko ia ko e ʻOtua.
13And he entreated him, and besought him earnestly: and he heard his prayer, and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom, and Manasses knew that the Lord was God.
14Pea hili ʻae meʻa ni naʻa ne langa ʻae ʻā maka ʻi tuaʻā ʻi he Kolo ʻo Tevita, ʻi he potu lulunga ʻo Kihoni, ʻi he toafa, ʻio, ʻo hoko atu ki he matapā ika, ʻo ʻalu fakatakamilo ʻi Ofili, ʻo ne fokotuʻu hake ia ke māʻolunga ʻaupito: pea naʻe fakanofo ʻae ngaahi ʻeikitau ʻi he ngaahi kolo tau kotoa pē ʻo Siuta.
14After this he built a wall without the city of David, on the west side of Gihon in the valley, from the entering in of the fish gate round about to Ophel, and raised it up to a great height: and he appointed captains of the army in all the fenced cities of Juda:
15Pea naʻe ʻave mei ai ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi ʻotua kehe, pea mo e ʻotua loi mei he fale ʻo Sihova, pea mo e ngaahi feilaulauʻanga ʻaia naʻa ne langa ʻi he moʻunga ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova, pea ʻi Selūsalema, ʻo ne lī ia kituaʻā mei he kolo.
15And he took away the strange gods, and the idol out of the house of the Lord: the altars also which he had made in the mount of the house of the Lord, and in Jerusalem, and he cast them all out of the city.
16Pea naʻe toe ngaohi ʻe ia ʻo fakalelei ʻae feilaulauʻanga ʻo Sihova, pea ne feilaulau ki ai ʻae ngaahi feilaulau fakamelino, mo e ngaahi feilaulau fakafetaʻi, pea ne fekau ki Siuta ke tauhi ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli.
16And he repaired the altar of the Lord, and sacrificed upon it victims, and peace offerings, and praise: and he commanded Juda to serve the Lord the God of Israel.
17Ka naʻe kei fai feilaulau ʻae kakai ʻi he ngaahi potu māʻolunga, ka naʻe fai ia kia Sihova pe ko honau ʻOtua.
17Nevertheless the people still sacrificed in the high places to the Lord their God.
18¶ Pea ko hono toe ʻoe ngāue ʻa Manase, mo ʻene lotu ki hono ʻOtua, mo e ngaahi lea ʻae kau kikite ʻaia naʻa nau lea ʻaki kiate ia ʻi he huafa ʻo Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, vakai, kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli.
18But the rest of the acts of Manasses, and his prayer to his God, and the words of the seers that spoke to him in the name of the Lord the God of Israel, are contained in the words of the kings of Israel.
19Pea ko ʻene lotu foki, mo hono talia loto ʻofa ʻe he ʻOtua, mo ʻene angahala kotoa pē, mo ʻene fai hala, mo e ngaahi potu naʻa ne langa ai ʻae ngaahi potu māʻolunga, pea fokotuʻu ai ʻae ngaahi vao tapu, mo e ngaahi meʻa fakatātā, ʻi he teʻeki fakavaivaiʻi ia: vakai kuo tohi ia ʻi he ngaahi lea ʻae kau kikite.
19His prayer also, and his being heard, and all his sins, and contempt, and places wherein he built high places, and set up groves, and statues before he did penance, are written in the words of Hozai.
20¶ Pea naʻe mohe ʻa Manase mo ʻene ngaahi tamai, pea naʻa nau tanu ia ʻi hono fale ʻoʻona: pea naʻe fetongi ia ʻi he pule ʻe hono foha ko ʻAmoni.
20And Manasses slept with his fathers. and they buried him in his house: and his son Amen reigned in his stead.
21¶ Naʻe uofulu taʻu mo e taʻu ʻe ua ʻa ʻAmoni ʻi heʻene kamata pule, pea naʻe pule ia ʻi he taʻu ʻe ua ʻi Selūsalema.
21Amen was two and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem.
22Ka naʻe fai ʻe ia ʻaia naʻe kovi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe fai ʻe Manase ko ʻene tamai: he naʻe feilaulau ʻa ʻAmoni ki he ngaahi meʻa fakatātā kotoa pē, ʻaia naʻe tātā mo ngaohi ʻe Manase ko ʻene tamai, ʻo ne tauhi ki ai:
22And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, as Manasses his father had done: and he sacrificed to all the idols which Manasses his father had made, and served them.
23Pea naʻe ʻikai te ne fakavaivai ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ʻo hangē ko hono fakavaivai ia ʻe Manase ko ʻene tamai: ka naʻe fakaʻaʻau ki muʻa pe ʻa ʻAmoni ʻi he fai hala.
23And he did not humble himself before the Lord, as Manasses his father had humbled himself, but committed far greater sins.
24Pea naʻe alea fakataha ʻa ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki ʻo lapasi pea tāmateʻi ia ʻi hono fale ʻoʻona.
24And his servants conspired against him, and slew him in his own house.
25¶ Ka naʻe tāmateʻi ʻe he kakai ʻoe fonua, ʻakinautolu kotoa pē naʻe fakataha ʻo lapa ki he tuʻi ko ʻAmoni: pea naʻe fakanofo ʻe he kakai ʻoe fonua ʻa hono foha ko Sosaia ke tuʻi ko hono fetongi ia.
25But the rest of the multitude of the people slew them that had killed Amen, and made Josias his son king in his stead.
