1 Mwami Manaasi, ikyanya akayima mu Buyuda, âli kola neꞌmyaka ikumi niꞌbiri, anahisa imyaka makumi gataanu niꞌtaanu, atwaziri i Yerusaleemu.

2 Uyo Manaasi anakizi gira amabi imbere lya Nahano, mu kukizi yifunda mu bitalaalwe, nga mwene byebirya byaꞌbandu bo Nahano akayimula imbere lyaꞌBahisiraheeri. 3 Kundu yishe Hezekiya akahongola imbeero zeꞌmigisi ku marango, haliko yehe anashubi ziyubaka. Anayubaka noꞌtutanda twoꞌkutangira kweꞌmizimu Baali amatuulo. Analingaania neꞌnguliro zoꞌmuzimu Hasheera. Na kwakundi, anakizi fukamira indonde za kwiꞌgulu, iri anaziyikumba.

4 Anayubaka ututanda kiri na mu nyumba ya Nahano, kundu Nahano âli mali deta: «Mu kaaya keꞌYerusaleemu, mwiꞌziina lyani ligakizi yikumbirwa halinde imyaka neꞌmyakuula.*33.4 2 Kutondobola 6.6. » 5 Mu mbuga zombi zeꞌnyumba ya Nahano, anayubaka mwoꞌtutanda twoꞌkuyikumbira indonde za kwiꞌgulu.

6 Na kwakundi, mu ndekeera yeꞌHinoomu, anatanga kiri na bagala baage mu muliro, libe ituulo lyoꞌkusiriiza. Anakizi yifunda mu byaꞌmaleere, iri anakizi laguza, noꞌkukoma ibiheeko, noꞌkuhanuusa ábali mu ganuuza imizimu, naꞌbalozi. Anayifunda mu bihigo bingi imbere lya Nahano, halinde anamúraakaza bweneene.

7 Uyo Manaasi anayabiira umugisi mubaaje, anagutereka mu nyumba ya Nahano. Na Nahano âli mali bwira mwami Dahudi na mugala wage wa Sulumaani kwokuno: «Mu milala ikumi niꞌbiri yaꞌBahisiraheeri, keera natoola ino nyumba, kiri neꞌYerusaleemu, kwo ngakizi tuula mwo. Haaho, ho ngakizi yikumbirwa imyaka neꞌmyakuula.†33.7-8 1 Baami 9.3-5; 2 Kutondobola 7.12-18.

8 «Imaaja zaani, naꞌmigeeza, naꞌmategeko, keera umukozi wani Musa akabiheereza Abahisiraheeri. Kwokwo, iri bangagira umwete gwoꞌkubisimbaha byoshi, ndagaki leka kwo bayimulwe mu kino kihugo kyo nꞌgaheereza bashokuluza baabo.»

9 Kundu Rurema akadeta kwokwo, haliko Manaasi yehe, anahubiisa abatuulaga beꞌYerusaleemu, kiri naꞌba mu Buyuda booshi, halinde banakizi yifunda mu mabi bweneene ukuhima gaꞌbatuulaga baamwo, balya Nahano akashereeza imbere lyabo.

10 Ulya Manaasi, kundu Nahano akamúhanuula, kuguma naꞌbandu baage, haliko batanamútwaza. 11 Kyanatuma Nahano agabatumira abakulu baꞌbasirikaani ba mwami weꞌHasuriya. Balya bakulu banagwata Manaasi, banamúhagika igera mwiꞌzulu, banamúshweka neꞌmirinda yeꞌmiringa, banamútwala halinde i Babeeri.

12 Uyo Manaasi, ikyanya âli kola mu malibu, anatakira Rurema Nahamwabo, kwo amúkejeerere, anayibiika haashi bweneene imbere lya Rurema wa bashokuluza baage. 13 Ikyanya akamútakira kwokwo, Rurema anamúyuvwirwa indengeerwa, anamútega amatwiri. Anamúgalulira i Yerusaleemu, anashubi múheereza ubwami bwage. Kwokwo, lyo Manaasi akalonga ukumenya kwo Nahano ye Rurema.

14 Ha nyuma, Manaasi anayubakulula uluzitiro mu Kaaya ka Dahudi, uluhande lweꞌmuga lweꞌshyoko yeꞌGihooni, mu musima. Anasikamya noꞌluzitiro lwako, halinde ku Lwivi lweꞌFwi, analuzungulusa halinde i Hofeeri. Yulwo luzitiro, analuyushuula kwaꞌgandi mabuye mahamu, halinde lwanadedera bweneene. Ha nyuma, anabiika abakulu baꞌbasirikaani mu twaya twoshi tuzitire twa mu kihugo kyeꞌBuyuda.

15 Manaasi anashaaza imizimu kuguma noꞌmugisi gwo akabiika mu nyumba ya Rurema. Anashaaza noꞌtutanda twâli yubasiri ku higangazi, hoofi neꞌnyumba ya Nahano. Anatushaaza na mu Yerusaleemu yoshi. Yibyo byoshi, banabikabulira inyuma lyaꞌkaaya. 16 Lyeryo, anashubi yumaanania akatanda ka Nahano. Anakatangira kwaꞌmatuulo goꞌkuyerekana ingoome, na goꞌkudeta kongwa. Anabwira Abayuda kwo bakizi yikumba Nahano Rurema waꞌBahisiraheeri.

17 Kundu kwokwo, abandu banagenderera ukukizi tangira amatuulo ku marango. Si yago matuulo, bâli kizi gatanga naaho imwa Nahano Rurema wabo.

18 Uyo Manaasi, igindi myazi yage, iyandisirwi mu Kitaabo kyaꞌmagambo gaꞌBaami beꞌHisiraheeri, kuguma na ngiisi kwo akatabaaza Rurema. Muyandisirwi kiri naꞌmagambo gaꞌbanamabone bâli kizi múbwira kwiꞌziina lya Nahano Rurema waꞌBahisiraheeri. 19 Yibyo byoshi, biri biyandike mu Bitaabo byaꞌBanamabone. Kuli kudeta ngiisi kwo akatabaaza Rurema, na ngiisi kwo Rurema akamúyuvwa. Bidesiri na hiꞌgulu lyeꞌbyaha byage byoshi, na ngiisi kwo akahuna imbere lya Rurema. Bidesiri na ngiisi kwo akayubaka imbeero mu marango, na ngiisi kwo âli kizi tereka inguliro zoꞌmuzimu Hasheera, kuguma neꞌgindi migisi. Yibyo byoshi, bikakoleka ku kyanya atâli zaazi yibiika haashi imbere lya Nahano.

20 Iri hakazinda, mwami Manaasi anashaaja, anaziikwa mu nyumba yage. Ahandu haage, banayimika mugala wage Hamooni.

21 Uyo Hamooni, ikyanya akayima, âli kola neꞌmyaka makumi gabiri niꞌbiri, anahisa imyaka ibiri atwaziri i Yerusaleemu. 22 Hamooni anakizi gira amabi imbere lya Nahano, nga kwo yishe Manaasi akagira. Âli kizi yikumba yeyo migisi ya yishe, iri anagitangira amatuulo. 23 Haliko yehe, ikyanya Nahano akamúhana, atanayibiika haashi imbere lyage, nga kwo yishe Manaasi akagira. Si anakaviiriza ukukizi huba naaho.

24 Ha nyuma, abakozi baage banagira igambi libi hiꞌgulu lyage, banamúyitira mu kajumiro. 25 Haliko, ngiisi ábakamúyita, nabo abandu beꞌBuyuda bakabayita. Ha nyuma, banayimika mugala wage Yosiya, abe mwami ahandu haage.
