1uManase ubeminyaka ilishumi elinamibini ezelwe, ukuba ngukumkani kwakhe; waba neminyaka emashumi mahlanu anamihlanu engukumkani eYerusalem. Igama lonina belinguHefezibha.
2Wenza okubi emehlweni kaYehova, ngokwamasikizi eentlanga, awazigqogqayo uYehova phambi koonyana bakaSirayeli.
3Kuba waphinda wazakha iindawo eziphakamileyo ezo uHezekiya uyise wazitshabalalisayo; Wamakhela uBhahali izibingelelo, wenza neAshtaroti, njengoko wenzayo uAhabhi ukumkani wakwaSirayeli; yaqubuda yonke imikhosi yezulu, iyikhonze.
4Wazakha izibingelelo endlwini kaYehova, awathi uYehova, Ndiya kulimisa eYerusalem igama lam.
5Wazakhela izibingelelo zonke izidalwa zasezulwini kwiintendelezo zombini zendlu kaYehova.
6Wabeka unyana wakhe umlilo, wawagcina amaxesha, wasebenzisana nemimoya, noosiyazi; wenza ububi obukhulu emehlweni kaYehova, ukuba amqumbise.
7Wawumisa umfanekiso oqingqiweyo wetyholo abewenzile, endlwini awayethe uYehova kuDavide nakuSolomon unyana wakhe, Kuyo le ndlu naseYerusalem, endiyinyulileyo ezizweni zonke zakwaSirayeli, iya kukhetha ulibeke ngonaphakade igama lam.
8Andisayi kuphinda ndilushukumise unyawo lwamaSirayeli emhlabeni endawunika ooyise; ngalo lonke ixesha besenza ngenyameko njengako konke endibawisele umthetho ngako, nangokomyalelo wonke, awabawiselayo uMoses umkhonzi wam.
9Kodwa abaphulaphulanga kubo, yaye uManase wabahenda ukuba benze okubi ngakumbi kuneentlanga awazitshabalalisayo uYehova phambi koonyana bakaSirayeli.
10uYehova wathetha ngabakhonzi bakhe, abaprofeti, wathi:
11Ngenxa yokuba uManase, ukumkani wakwaYuda, wayezenzile ezi zinto zicekisekayo waza wenza okubi ngakumbi kunako konke awakwenzayo ama-Amori ngaphambi kwakhe, waza wamonisa uYuda ngezithixo ezinezothe awayezinqula.
12Ngako oko, utsho uYehova, uThixo kaSirayeli, ukuthi, Yabona, ndiyihlisela iYerusalem noYuda ububi, abaya kuthi bonke ababuvayo bavingce iindlebe zabo;
13Ndoyolula ulutya lokulinganisa lwakwaSamari phezu kweYerusalem, nolutya lwendlu ka-Ahabhi; yaye ndiya kuyisula iYerusalem njengokuba umntu esula isitya, asisule aze asiqhekeze.
14Ndowashiya amasalela elifa lam, ndiwanikele esandleni seentshaba zawo; yaye baya kuba lixhoba nexhoba kuzo zonke iintshaba zabo;
15Ngokuba benze ububi emehlweni am, bandingcikiva, kususela kwimini abaphuma ngayo ooyise eYiputa unanamhla;
16Ngaphezu koko, uManase waliphalaza igazi elininzi elimsulwa kangangokuba wayizalisa iYerusalem, kwathabathela kwelinye icala kwesa kwelinye; ngaphandle nje kwesono sakhe awasizisa kuYuda ngokwenza okubi emehlweni kaYehova.
17Ezinye izinto zikaManase, nako konke awakwenzayo, nesono sakhe awasenzayo, azibhalwanga na encwadini yemicimbi yemihla yookumkani bakwaYuda?
18Ekugqibeleni uManase walala kookhokho bakhe waza wangcwatywa emyezweni wendlu yakhe, emyezweni kaUza; unyana wakhe uAmon waqalisa ukulawula esikhundleni sakhe.
19uAmon ubeminyaka imashumi mabini anamibini ezelwe, ukuba ngukumkani kwakhe; waba neminyaka emibini engukumkani eYerusalem. Igama lonina belinguMesulemet, intombi kaHarosi, waseYotebha.
20Wenza okubi emehlweni kaYehova, njengoko wenzayo uManase uyise.
21Waqhubeka ehamba ngendlela yonke awahamba ngayo uyise, wayikhonza imifanekiso eqingqiweyo awayeyikhonza uyise, waqubuda kuyo.
22Wamnikela umva uYehova uThixo wooyise, akahamba ngendlela kaYehova.
23Bamceba abakhonzi baka-Amon, bambulala ukumkani lowo endlwini yakhe.
24Kwaye abantu behlabathi bababulala bonke abo babecebe nxamnye nokumkani uAmon; abantu belizwe bamenza ukumkani uYosiya, unyana wakhe, esikhundleni sakhe.
25Ezinye izinto zika-Amon awazenzayo, ndithi, zibhaliwe na encwadini yemicimbi yemihla yookumkani bakwaYuda?
26Wangcwatyelwa engcwabeni lakhe emhlabeni waseUsha, waba ngukumkani uYosiya, unyana wakhe, esikhundleni sakhe.
