Ang Pulong Sa Dios
Ang Paghari ni Manase sa Juda
(2 Hari 21:1-18)
33 Nagaedad si Manase ug 12 ka tuig sa dihang nahimo siyang hari. Sa Jerusalem siya nagpuyo, ug naghari siya sulod sa 55 ka tuig. 2 Daotan ang iyang gihimo atubangan sa Ginoo. Misunod siya sa mangil-ad nga mga buhat sa mga nasod nga gipaabog sa Ginoo sa mga Israelinhon. 3 Gipatukod niya pag-usab ang mga simbahanan diha sa habog nga mga dapit nga gipaguba kaniadto sa iyang amahan nga si Hezekia. Nagpahimo usab siyag mga halaran alang sa mga imahen ni Baal ug mga poste nga simbolo sa diosa nga si Ashera. Mialagad siya ug misimba sa tanang butang nga anaa sa kalangitan. 4 Nagpahimo pa siyag mga halaran sa templo sa Ginoo sa Jerusalem, nga sumala sa Ginoo mao ang dapit diin pasidunggan siya hangtod sa kahangtoran. 5 Nagpahimo usab siya ug mga halaran sa duha ka hawanan sa templo sa Ginoo alang sa pagsimba sa tanang butang nga anaa sa kalangitan. 6 Gihalad niya ang iyang mga anak sa kalayo didto sa Kapatagan sa Ben Hinom. Gibuhat usab niya ang mga buluhaton sa mga babaylan, manalagna, mamarang ug mga espiritista. Labihan gayod ang iyang pagpakasala atubangan sa Ginoo, ug nakapasuko kini sa Ginoo.
7 Gibutang pa niya ang rebulto nga iyang gipahimo didto sa templo, nga giingon sa Ginoo ngadto kang David ug sa iyang anak nga si Solomon, “Pasidunggan ako sa walay kataposan dinhi niini nga templo ug sa Jerusalem, ang dapit nga akong gipili gikan sa tanang tribo sa Israel. 8 Dili ko papahawaon ang katawhan sa Israel gikan niining yuta nga gihatag ko sa ilang mga katigulangan kon tumanon nila ang tanang mga kasugoan, tulumanon, ug lagda nga gihatag ko kanila pinaagi kang Moises.” 9 Apan giaghat ni Manase ang katawhan sa Jerusalem ug sa ubang bahin sa Juda sa paghimog daotan, ug ang ilang gihimo labaw pa kadaotan kaysa gihimo sa mga nasod nga gipanglaglag sa Ginoo sa mga Israelinhon.
10 Gipahimangnoan sa Ginoo si Manase ug ang iyang katawhan, apan wala sila mamati kaniya. 11 Busa gipasulong sa Ginoo ang mga komander sa kasundalohan sa Asiria ngadto kanila. Gibihag nila si Manase, gikaw-itan ang iyang ilong, gikadenahan ug bronsi, ug gidala sa Babilonia. 12 Sa diha na siya sa kalisod, nagpaubos gayod siya sa iyang kaugalingon ug nagpakilooy sa Ginoo nga iyang Dios, nga Dios usab sa iyang mga katigulangan. 13 Ug sa dihang nagaampo siya, gipamatian siya sa Ginoo. Natandog ang Ginoo sa iyang pagpakilooy. Busa gipabalik siya sa Ginoo didto sa Jerusalem ug sa iyang gingharian. Ug nakaamgo si Manase nga ang Ginoo mao lang ang Dios.
14 Human niadto, gipatukod pag-usab ni Manase ang gawas nga paril sa Lungsod ni David, gikan sa kasadpang bahin sa yuta sa Gihon ngadto sa pultahan nga gitawag ug Isda,[a] ug libot sa bungtod sa Ofel, diin gihimo niyang mas habog ang paril. Unya nagbutang siyag mga komander sa tanang pinarilan nga mga lungsod sa Juda. 15 Gipakuha niya gikan sa templo sa Ginoo ang mga dios sa taga-laing nasod ug ang mga rebulto. Gipakuha usab niya ang mga halaran sa bungtod nga gitukoran sa templo ug ang mga halaran sa ubang bahin sa Jerusalem, ug gipanglabay kini sa gawas sa siyudad. 16 Unya gipaayo niya ang halaran alang sa Ginoo, ug gihalaran ug mga halad alang sa maayong relasyon, ug mga halad sa pagpasalamat. Gimandoan niya ang mga lumulupyo sa Juda nga mag-alagad sa Ginoo, ang Dios sa Israel. 17 Naghalad gihapon ang mga tawo didto sa mga simbahanan diha sa habog nga mga dapit, apan gihalad na nila kini ngadto sa Ginoo nga ilang Dios.
18 Ang uban pang sugilanon mahitungod sa paghari ni Manase, apil ang iyang pag-ampo ngadto sa Dios ug ang gipanulti sa mga propeta kaniya sa ngalan sa Ginoo, ang Dios sa Israel, nahisulat sa libro sa mga sugilanon bahin sa mga hari sa Israel. 19 Ang pag-ampo ni Manase ug ang tubag sa Ginoo kaniya, apil na ang tanan niyang sala ug pagsupak sa Ginoo, nahisulat sa Libro sa mga Propeta. Nalista usab didto ang mga dapit nga gipatukoran niyag mga simbahan, mga poste nga simbolo sa diosa nga si Ashera, ug sa uban pa nga mga dios-dios, sa panahon nga wala pa siya magpaubos sa iyang kaugalingon ngadto sa Dios. 20 Sa pagkamatay ni Manase, gilubong siya didto sa iyang palasyo. Ug si Amon nga iyang anak mao ang mipuli kaniya ingon nga hari.
Ang Paghari ni Amon sa Juda
(2 Hari 21:19-26)
21 Nagaedad si Amon ug 22 ka tuig sa dihang nahimo siyang hari. Sa Jerusalem siya nagpuyo, ug naghari siya sulod sa duha ka tuig. 22 Daotan ang gihimo ni Amon atubangan sa Ginoo, sama sa gihimo kaniadto ni Manase nga iyang amahan. Gisimba ug gihalaran niya ang mga dios-dios nga gipahimo ni Manase kaniadto. 23 Ug sukwahi sa iyang amahan, wala siya magpaubos sa iyang kaugalingon atubangan sa Ginoo. Nagsige hinuon siyag pakasala.
24 Miabot ang panahon nga nagplano ug daotan ang mga opisyal ni Amon batok kaniya, ug gipatay nila siya didto sa iyang palasyo. 25 Apan gipamatay sa katawhan sa Juda ang tanan nga mipatay kang Haring Amon, ug gipuli nila si Josia nga iyang anak ingon nga hari.

2 Chronicles 33
King James Version
33 Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty and five years in Jerusalem:
2 But did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, like unto the abominations of the heathen, whom the Lord had cast out before the children of Israel.
3 For he built again the high places which Hezekiah his father had broken down, and he reared up altars for Baalim, and made groves, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served them.
4 Also he built altars in the house of the Lord, whereof the Lord had said, In Jerusalem shall my name be for ever.
5 And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the Lord.
6 And he caused his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom: also he observed times, and used enchantments, and used witchcraft, and dealt with a familiar spirit, and with wizards: he wrought much evil in the sight of the Lord, to provoke him to anger.
7 And he set a carved image, the idol which he had made, 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 before all the tribes of Israel, will I put my name for ever:
8 Neither will I any more remove the foot of Israel from out of the land which I have appointed for your fathers; so that they will take heed to do all that I have commanded them, according to the whole law and the statutes and the ordinances by the hand of Moses.
9 So Manasseh made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to err, and to do worse than the heathen, whom the Lord had destroyed before the children of Israel.
10 And the Lord spake to Manasseh, and to his people: but they would not hearken.
11 Wherefore the Lord brought upon them the captains of the host of the king of Assyria, which took Manasseh among the thorns, and bound him with fetters, and carried him to Babylon.
12 And when he was in affliction, he besought the Lord his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers,
13 And prayed unto him: and he was intreated of him, and heard his supplication, and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the Lord he was God.
14 Now after this he built a wall without the city of David, on the west side of Gihon, in the valley, even to the entering in at the fish gate, and compassed about Ophel, and raised it up a very great height, and put captains of war in all the fenced cities of Judah.
15 And he took away the strange gods, and the idol out of the house of the Lord, and all the altars that he had built in the mount of the house of the Lord, and in Jerusalem, and cast them out of the city.
16 And he repaired the altar of the Lord, and sacrificed thereon peace offerings and thank offerings, and commanded Judah to serve the Lord God of Israel.
17 Nevertheless the people did sacrifice still in the high places, yet unto the Lord their God only.
18 Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and his prayer unto his God, and the words of the seers that spake to him in the name of the Lord God of Israel, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel.
19 His prayer also, and how God was intreated of him, and all his sins, and his trespass, and the places wherein he built high places, and set up groves and graven images, before he was humbled: behold, they are written among the sayings of the seers.
20 So Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they buried him in his own house: and Amon his son reigned in his stead.
21 Amon was two and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned two years in Jerusalem.
22 But he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, as did Manasseh his father: for Amon sacrificed unto all the carved images which Manasseh his father had made, and served them;
23 And humbled not himself before the Lord, as Manasseh his father had humbled himself; but Amon trespassed more and more.
24 And his servants conspired against him, and slew him in his own house.
25 But the people of the land slew all them that had conspired against king Amon; and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his stead.
2 Chronicles 33
New International Version
Manasseh King of Judah(A)(B)
33 Manasseh(C) was twelve years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem fifty-five years. 2 He did evil in the eyes of the Lord,(D) following the detestable(E) practices of the nations the Lord had driven out before the Israelites. 3 He rebuilt the high places his father Hezekiah had demolished; he also erected altars to the Baals and made Asherah poles.(F) He bowed down(G) to all the starry hosts and worshiped them. 4 He built altars in the temple of the Lord, of which the Lord had said, “My Name(H) will remain in Jerusalem forever.” 5 In both courts of the temple of the Lord,(I) he built altars to all the starry hosts. 6 He sacrificed his children(J) in the fire in the Valley of Ben Hinnom, practiced divination and witchcraft, sought omens, and consulted mediums(K) and spiritists.(L) He did much evil in the eyes of the Lord, arousing his anger.
7 He took the image he had made and put it in God’s temple,(M) of which God had 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 put my Name forever. 8 I will not again make the feet of the Israelites leave the land(N) I assigned to your ancestors, if only they will be careful to do everything I commanded them concerning all the laws, decrees and regulations given through Moses.” 9 But Manasseh led Judah and the people of Jerusalem astray, so that they did more evil than the nations the Lord had destroyed before the Israelites.(O)
10 The Lord spoke to Manasseh and his people, but they paid no attention. 11 So the Lord brought against them the army commanders of the king of Assyria, who took Manasseh prisoner,(P) put a hook(Q) in his nose, bound him with bronze shackles(R) and took him to Babylon. 12 In his distress he sought the favor of the Lord his God and humbled(S) himself greatly before the God of his ancestors. 13 And when he prayed to him, the Lord was moved by his entreaty and listened to his plea; so he brought him back to Jerusalem and to his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the Lord is God.
14 Afterward he rebuilt the outer wall of the City of David, west of the Gihon(T) spring in the valley, as far as the entrance of the Fish Gate(U) and encircling the hill of Ophel;(V) he also made it much higher. He stationed military commanders in all the fortified cities in Judah.
15 He got rid of the foreign gods and removed(W) the image from the temple of the Lord, as well as all the altars he had built on the temple hill and in Jerusalem; and he threw them out of the city. 16 Then he restored the altar of the Lord and sacrificed fellowship offerings and thank offerings(X) on it, and told Judah to serve the Lord, the God of Israel. 17 The people, however, continued to sacrifice at the high places, but only to the Lord their God.
18 The other events of Manasseh’s reign, including his prayer to his God and the words the seers spoke to him in the name of the Lord, the God of Israel, are written in the annals of the kings of Israel.[a] 19 His prayer and how God was moved by his entreaty, as well as all his sins and unfaithfulness, and the sites where he built high places and set up Asherah poles and idols before he humbled(Y) himself—all these are written in the records of the seers.[b](Z) 20 Manasseh rested with his ancestors and was buried(AA) in his palace. And Amon his son succeeded him as king.
Amon King of Judah(AB)
21 Amon(AC) was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem two years. 22 He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, as his father Manasseh had done. Amon worshiped and offered sacrifices to all the idols Manasseh had made. 23 But unlike his father Manasseh, he did not humble(AD) himself before the Lord; Amon increased his guilt.
24 Amon’s officials conspired against him and assassinated him in his palace. 25 Then the people(AE) of the land killed all who had plotted against King Amon, and they made Josiah his son king in his place.

English Standard Version
Manasseh Reigns in Judah
33 (A)Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem. 2 And he did what was evil in the sight of the Lord, according to (B)the abominations of the nations whom the Lord drove out before the people of Israel. 3 For he rebuilt the high places (C)that his father Hezekiah had broken down, and he erected altars to the Baals, and made (D)Asheroth, and worshiped all the host of heaven and served them. 4 And he built altars in the house of the Lord, of which the Lord had said, (E)“In Jerusalem shall my name be forever.” 5 And he built altars for all the host of heaven in (F)the two courts of the house of the Lord. 6 (G)And he burned his sons as an offering (H)in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, and (I)used fortune-telling and omens and sorcery, and dealt with (J)mediums and with necromancers. He did much evil in the sight of the Lord, provoking him to anger. 7 And (K)the carved image of the idol that he had made he set in the house of God, of which God 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, (L)I will put my name forever, 8 and I will no more remove the foot of Israel from the land (M)that I appointed for your fathers, if only they will be careful to do all that I have commanded them, all the law, the statutes, and the rules given through Moses.” 9 Manasseh led Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem astray, to do more evil than the nations whom the Lord destroyed before the people of Israel.
Manasseh's Repentance
10 The Lord spoke to Manasseh and to his people, but they paid no attention. 11 (N)Therefore the Lord brought upon them the commanders of the army of the king of Assyria, who captured Manasseh with hooks and (O)bound him with chains of bronze and brought him to Babylon. 12 And when he was in distress, he entreated the favor of the Lord his God (P)and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers. 13 He prayed to him, and (Q)God was moved by his entreaty and heard his plea and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. (R)Then Manasseh knew that the Lord was God.
14 Afterward he built an outer wall for the city of David west of (S)Gihon, in the valley, and for the entrance into (T)the Fish Gate, and carried it around (U)Ophel, and raised it to a very great height. He also put commanders of the army in all the fortified cities in Judah. 15 And (V)he took away the foreign gods and the idol from the house of the Lord, and all the altars that he had built on the mountain of the house of the Lord and in Jerusalem, and he threw them outside of the city. 16 He also restored the altar of the Lord and offered on it sacrifices of peace offerings and of thanksgiving, and he commanded Judah to serve the Lord, the God of Israel. 17 (W)Nevertheless, the people still sacrificed at the high places, but only to the Lord their God.
18 Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and (X)his prayer to his God, and the words of (Y)the seers who spoke to him in the name of the Lord, the God of Israel, behold, they are in the (Z)Chronicles of the Kings of Israel. 19 And his prayer, and how (AA)God was moved by his entreaty, and all his sin and his faithlessness, and the sites (AB)on which he built high places and set up the (AC)Asherim and the images, before (AD)he humbled himself, behold, they are written in the Chronicles of the Seers.[a] 20 So Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they buried him in his house, and Amon his son reigned in his place.
Amon's Reign and Death
21 (AE)Amon was twenty-two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem. 22 And he did what was evil in the sight of the Lord, as Manasseh his father had done. Amon sacrificed to all the images (AF)that Manasseh his father had made, and served them. 23 And he did not humble himself before the Lord, (AG)as Manasseh his father had humbled himself, but this Amon incurred guilt more and more. 24 And his servants conspired against him and put him to death in his house. 25 But the people of the land struck down all those who had conspired against King Amon. And the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his place.
