¹मनश्शे बाह्र वर्षका थिए जब उनले शासन शुरू गरे। उनले यरूशलेममा 55 वर्ष शासन गरे। उनको आमाको नाउँ हेप्सीबा थियो।

¹Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign; and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Hephzibah.

²मनश्शेले ती कामहरू गरे जसलाई परमप्रभुले नराम्रो भन्नुभएको थियो। मनश्शेले अरू मानिसहरूले गरे जस्तै डरलाग्दा कामहरू गरे। अनि परमप्रभुले ती राष्ट्रहरूलाई आफ्ना देश छोडनु वाध्य गराउनुभयो जब इस्राएलीहरू आए।

²He did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, after the abominations of the nations whom Yahweh cast out before the children of Israel.

³मनश्शेले अग्लाठाउँहरू फेरि बनाए जसलाई उनका पिताले भत्काएका थिए। मनश्शेले बालका लागि वेदीहरू पनि बनाए अनि अशेरा खाँबो निर्माण गरे जसरी इस्राएलका राजाले गरेका थिए। मनश्शेले आकाशका ताराहरूको पूजा गरे अनि सेवा गरे।

³For he built again the high places which Hezekiah his father had destroyed; and he reared up altars for Baal, and made an Asherah, as did Ahab king of Israel, and worshiped all the army of the sky, and served them.

⁴मनश्शेले परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा असत्य देवताहरूको पूजा गर्न वेदीहरू बनाए। यो त्यही ठाउँ हो जसको बारेमा परमप्रभु बोल्नु हुन्थ्यो जब उहाँले भन्नुभयो, “म मेरो नाउँ यरूशलेममा राख्नेछु।”

⁴He built altars in the house of Yahweh, of which Yahweh said, “I will put my name in Jerusalem.”

⁵मनश्शेले परमप्रभुको मन्दिरको दुइवटा आँगनमा अकाशका ताराहरूका लागि वेदीहरू बनाए।

⁵He built altars for all the army of the sky in the two courts of the house of Yahweh.

⁶मनश्शेले आफ्नो छोराको बलि दिए अनि यसलाई वेदीमाथि जलाए। मनश्शेले भविष्य जान्नकालागि धेरै तरीकाहरू प्रयोग गरे। उनले भूत-प्रेत र पिशाचहरूसँग समर्पक राख्ने मानिसहरू अनि तंत्र-मंत्रगर्नेहरूलाई भेटे। मनश्शेले ति कामहरू बढिभन्दा बढी गरे जसलाई परमप्रभुले नराम्रो भन्नुभएको थियो। यसले परमप्रभुलाई रीस उठायो।

⁶He made his son to pass through the fire, and practiced sorcery, and used enchantments, and dealt with those who had familiar spirits, and with wizards: he worked much evil in the sight of Yahweh, to provoke him to anger.

⁷मनश्शेले अश्तारोत देवीको मूर्ति बनाए। उनले मूर्तिलाई मन्दिरमा स्थापित गरे। परमप्रभुले दाऊद द दाऊदका छोरा सुलेमानलाई यस मन्दिरको विषयमा भन्नुभएको थियो, “इस्राएलका सबै शहरहरूमध्ये मैले यरूशलेमलाई चुनेको थिएँ। म यरूशलेमको मन्दिरमा आफ्नो नाउँ सदाका लागि राख्नेछु।

⁷He set the engraved image of Asherah, that he had made, in the house of which Yahweh 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 forever;

⁸म इस्राएलका मानिसहरूलाई कहिल्यै पनि भूमि छोड्न वाध्य गराउने छैन जुन मैले उनका पिता-पुर्खाहरूलाई दिएको थिएँ। म मानिसहरूलाई तिनीहरूको आफ्नो देशमा बस्न दिनेछु यदि तिनीहरू मैले दिएको आदेशहरू पालन गर्छन् र मेरो सेवक मोशाले दिएको शिक्षा पालन गर्छन्।”

⁸neither will I cause the feet of Israel to wander any more out of the land which I gave their fathers, if only they will observe to do according to all that I have commanded them, and according to all the law that my servant Moses commanded them.”

⁹भनें तर मानिसहरूले परमेश्वरको कुरा सुनेनन्। मनश्शेले इस्राएली आउन अघि कनानमा बस्ने सबै राष्ट्रहरूले गरेको भन्दा बढी दुष्कर्म गरे। अनि परमप्रभुले ती राष्ट्रहरूलाई खतम पार्नुभयो जब इस्राएलका मानिसहरू त्यो भूमिमा आए।

⁹But they didn’t listen: and Manasseh seduced them to do that which is evil more than the nations did whom Yahweh destroyed before the children of Israel.

¹⁰परमप्रभुले यी कुराहरू भन्नको लागि आफ्ना सेवक अगमवक्ताहरूलाई प्रयोग गर्नुभयोः

¹⁰Yahweh spoke by his servants the prophets, saying,

¹¹“यहूदाका राजा मनश्शेले उनी अघिका एमोरीहरूले भन्दा बढी घृणित र दुष्कर्म गरे। मनश्शेले देवी देवताका मूर्तिहरूले गर्दा यहूदालाई पनि पाप गर्न लगाए।

¹¹“Because Manasseh king of Judah has done these abominations, and has done wickedly above all that the Amorites did, who were before him, and has made Judah also to sin with his idols;

¹²यसर्थ इस्राएलका परमप्रभु भन्नुहुन्छ सुन, ‘म यरूशलेम र यहूदामा धेरै संकट ल्याउनेछु जसले यस विषयमा सुन्नेहरू छक्क पर्नेछ।

¹²therefore thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, ‘Behold, I bring such evil on Jerusalem and Judah, that whoever hears of it, both his ears shall tingle.

¹³म सामरियाको नाप्ने सीमा रेखा र आहाबको परिवारलाई नाप्ने साहुल यरूशलेमसम्म फिजाउनेछु। एउटा मानिसले थाल माझ्छ र यसलाई घोप्टाउँछ। त्यतै म यरूशलेमलाई गरिदिनेछु।

¹³I will stretch over Jerusalem the line of Samaria, and the plummet of the house of Ahab; and I will wipe Jerusalem as a man wipes a dish, wiping it and turning it upside down.

¹⁴तर म मेरो बाँकी मनिसहरूलाई छोडनेछु। म तिनीहरूलाई तिनीहरूका शत्रुले पराजित गर्यानेछु। तिनीहरूका शत्रुहरूले तिनीहरूलाई बन्दी बनाउनेछन्। तिनीहरू सैनिकहरूले युद्धको बेलामा पाउने बहुमूल्य चीजहरू जस्तै हुनेछन्।

¹⁴I will cast off the remnant of my inheritance, and deliver them into the hand of their enemies. They will become a prey and a spoil to all their enemies;

¹⁵म यस्तो गर्नेछु किनभने मेरा मानिसहरूले मैले गल्ती हो भनेको काम गरे। तिनीहरूले मलाई रीस उठाउने काम मिश्रबाट तिनीहरूका पिता-पुर्खाहरू निस्केको दिनदेखि गरेका छन्।

¹⁵because they have done that which is evil in my sight, and have provoked me to anger, since the day their fathers came forth out of Egypt, even to this day.’”

¹⁶अनि मनश्शेले धेरै निर्दोष मानिसहरूलाई मारे। उनले यरूशलेममा एक छेऊदेखि अर्को छेउसम्म रगतले भरे अनि ती सबै पाप कामहरूको अतिरिक्त छन् जसले यहूदालाई पाप काम गर्न लगाए। मनश्शेले यहूदालाई ती कामहरू गर्न लगाए जसलाई परमप्रभुले नराम्रो भन्नु भएको थियो।”‘

¹⁶Moreover Manasseh shed innocent blood very much, until he had filled Jerusalem from one end to another; besides his sin with which he made Judah to sin, in doing that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh.

¹⁷सबै कामहरू जो मनश्शेले गरे जस्मा उनले गरेको पाप कामहरू पनि छ जस्को विषयमा ‘यहूदाका राजाहरूको इतिहासको’ पुस्तकमा लेखिएको छ।

¹⁷Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and all that he did, and his sin that he sinned, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

¹⁸मनश्शेको मृत्यु भयो अनि उनलाई उनका पुर्खाहरूसँगै गाडियो। मनश्शेलेलाई उनको महलको बगैंचामा गाडियो। यसलाई, “उज्जाको बगैंचा” भनिन्थ्यो। मनश्शेका छोरा आमोन उनीपछि नयाँ राजा भए।

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

¹⁹आमोन 22 वर्षका थिए जब उनले शासन शुरू गरे। उनले यरूशलेममा दुइ वर्ष शासन गरे। उनको आमाको नाउँ मशूलेमेत थियो जो योत्बाका हारूसकी छोरी थिइन्।

¹⁹Amon was twenty-two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned two years in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Meshullemeth the daughter of Haruz of Jotbah.

²⁰आमोनले आफ्ना पिता मनश्शे जस्तै ती कामहरू गरे जसलाई परमप्रभुले नराम्रो भन्नुभएको थियो।

²⁰He did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, as Manasseh his father did.

²¹आमोनले आफ्ना पिता जस्तै जीवन यापन गरे। आमोनले ती देवमूर्तीहरूको पूजा र सेवा गरे जसलाई उनका पिताले गरेका थिए।

²¹He walked in all the way that his father walked in, and served the idols that his father served, and worshiped them:

²²आमोनले आफ्ना पुर्खाहरूका परमप्रभु, परमेश्वरलाई त्यागे अनि परमप्रभुले चाहे जस्तो जीवन यापन गरेनन्।

²²and he forsook Yahweh, the God of his fathers, and didn’t walk in the way of Yahweh.

²³आमोनका सेवकहरूले उनको विरोधमा षड्यन्त्र गरे अनि उनको आफ्नो महलमा नै उनको हत्या गरे।

²³The servants of Amon conspired against him, and put the king to death in his own house.

²⁴साधारण मानिसहरूले ती सबै अधिकारीहरूको हत्या गरे जसले राजा आमोनको विरोधमा षड्यन्त्र गरेका थिए। त्यसपछि मानिसहरूले आमोनका छोरा योशियाहलाई उनीपछि नयाँ राजा बनाए।

²⁴But the people of the land killed all those who had conspired against king Amon; and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his place.

²⁵आमोनले गरेको अरू कामहरूको विषयमा ‘यहूदाका राजाहरूको इतिहासको’ पुस्तकमा लेखिएको छ।

²⁵Now the rest of the acts of Amon which he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

²⁶आमोनलाई उज्जाका बगैचामा उनको चिहानमा गाडियो। आमोनका छोरा योशियाह नयाँ राजा भए।

²⁶He was buried in his tomb in the garden of Uzza: and Josiah his son reigned in his place.
