33 ¹UManase wayeminyaka ilishumi elinamibini ubudala ekubeni ngukumkani, waza walawula iminyaka engamashumi mahlanu anamihlanu eJerusalem. ²Wenza okubi emehlweni kaBawo wethu, njengamasikizi eentlanga awazigqogqa uBawo wethu phambi koonyana bakaSirayeli. ³Waphinda wazakha iziganga awayezidilizile uyise uHezekiya, wakhela ooBhahali izibingelelo, wenza ooAshera, waza waqubuda kuyo yonke imikhosi yasezulwini, wakhonza kuyo.

⁴Wakha izibingelelo endlwini kaBawo wethu, apho uBawo wethu wathi khona: “Igama lam liya kuhlala eJerusalem ngonaphakade.”

⁵Wakhela yonke imikhosi yasezulwini izibingelelo kuzo zombini iintendelezo zendlu kaBawo wethu. ⁶Entilini yoonyana bakaHinom wabingelela oonyana bakhe emlilweni, wavumisa, wahlaba izihlabo, wenza ubugqwirha, wabheka kwabanemishologu nakoosiyazi. Wenza okubi kakhulu phambi koBawo wethu, emqumbisa.

⁷Wawumisa umfanekiso oqingqiweyo awawenzayo endlwini kaBawo wethu, apho uBawo wethu wathi khona kuDavide nakuSolomon unyana wakhe: “Kule ndlu naseJerusalem, endayinyulayo kuzo zonke izizwe zakwaSirayeli, ndiya kulibeka igama lam ngonaphakade. ⁸Andisayi kuphinda ndisuse uSirayeli kweli lizwe ndalinika ooyise, ukuba kodwa bathe bayigcina ngenyameko yonke into endabawisela umthetho ngayo—wonke umyalelo, nemimiselo, namasiko ngoMoses.”

⁹Kodwa uManase wabalahlekisa abakwaYuda nabemi baseJerusalem, benza okubi ngaphezu kweentlanga awazitshabalalisayo uBawo wethu phambi koonyana bakaSirayeli.

¹⁰UBawo wethu wathetha kuManase nakubantu bakhe, kodwa abavuma ukuphulaphula. ¹¹Ngoko uBawo wethu wazisa kubo abathetheli bomkhosi bokumkani waseAsiriya; bambamba uManase ngamagwegwe, bamkhonkxa ngamakhamandela obhedu, bahamba naye baya eBhabhilon. ^a a v11 Abaphuli-mimi bamandulo babekhokela abathinjwa ngegwegwe nokuba ngesangqa esidluliswe empumlweni nokuba emlonyeni. ¹²Esembandezelweni, wafuna ubabalo lukaBawo wethu, ezithoba kakhulu phambi koThixo wooyise. ¹³Wathandaza kuye, waza uBawo wethu, ethetheleleka sisikhungo sakhe, waliva isikhalo sakhe esicela inceba, wambuyisela eJerusalem, ebukumkanini bakhe. Waza uManase wazi ukuba uBawo wethu unguThixo. ^b b v13 UManase wayengoyena kumkani ukhohlakeleyo wakwaYuda, kodwa akuthi wazithoba uBawo wethu wamva wambuyisela ekhaya—akukho mntwana wonileyo ngaphaya kokwamkelwa nguBawo.

¹⁴Emva koko wawuphinda wawakha udonga olungaphandle lomzi kaDavide, ngasentshonalanga yeGihon entilini ukuya emnyango weSango leentlanzi, ejikeleza iOfele, waluphakamisa kakhulu. Wamisa abathetheli bomkhosi kuyo yonke imizi enqatyisiweyo yakwaYuda. ¹⁵Wabasusa oothixo basemzini nomfanekiso endlwini kaBawo wethu, nazo zonke izibingelelo awayezakhile entabeni yetempile naseJerusalem, wazilahla ngaphandle komzi. ¹⁶Waphinda wasakha isibingelelo sikaBawo wethu, wabingelela kuso iminikelo yoxolo neyombulelo, wawisela uYuda umthetho wokuba akhonze uBawo wethu, uThixo kaSirayeli. ¹⁷Noko ke abantu babesabingelela ezigangeni, kodwa kuphela kuBawo wethu, uThixo wabo.

¹⁸Ezinye izenzo zikaManase, nomthandazo wakhe kuBawo wethu, namazwi ababoni ababewathetha kuye egameni likaBawo wethu, uThixo kaSirayeli, asemicimbini yookumkani bakwaSirayeli. ¹⁹Umthandazo wakhe, nokuthethelekwa kukaBawo wethu nguye, naso sonke isono sakhe nokumeneza kwakhe, neendawo awakha kuzo iziganga, wamisa ooAshera, wenza imifanekiso eqingqiweyo ngaphambi kokuba azithobe—konke kubhalwe emicimbini yababoni. ²⁰Wafa uManase, wangcwatyelwa ebhotweni lakhe. Waza uAmon unyana wakhe waba ngukumkani esikhundleni sakhe.

UAmon Uyala Ukuzithoba

²¹UAmon wayeminyaka ingamashumi mabini anamibini ubudala ekubeni ngukumkani, waza walawula iminyaka emibini eJerusalem. ²²Wenza okubi phambi koBawo wethu, njengoko wenzayo uyise uManase. UAmon wabingelela kuyo yonke imifanekiso eqingqiweyo awayenzayo uManase, wakhonza kuyo. ²³Akanjengoyise uManase, akazithoba phambi koBawo wethu; endaweni yoko uAmon wandisa ityala lakhe. ²⁴Abakhonzi baka-Amon bamceba, bambulala ebhotweni lakhe. ²⁵Abantu belizwe bababulala bonke abamcebayo ukumkani uAmon, baza benza unyana wakhe uYosiya waba ngukumkani esikhundleni sakhe.
