⁴ Wakha ama-altare endlini kaJehova, uJehova asho ngayo ukuthi: “EJerusalema igama lami liyakuba khona kuze kube phakade.”

⁵ Wakhela nalo lonke ibandla lasezulwini ama-altare emagcekeni omabili endlu kaJehova.

⁶ Wadabulisa abantwana bakhe emlilweni esigodini sendodana kaHinomu; wagcina izikhathi, wenza imilingo, wenza imilingo, wahlobanisa nemimoya nabathakathi; wenza okubi okuningi emehlweni kaJehova ukuba amcunule.

⁷ Wasemisa isithombe esibaziweyo, isithombe abenzileyo, endlini kaNkulunkulu, uNkulunkulu akhuluma ngayo kuDavida lendodana yakhe uSolomoni, wathi: Kulindlu leJerusalema engilikhethileyo phezu kwezizwe zonke zakoIsrayeli, ngiyakumisa igama lami kuze kube phakade;

¹⁰ UJehova wakhuluma kuManase nakubantu bakhe, kepha abalalelanga.

¹¹ Ngakho uJehova wabehlisela izinduna zempi yenkosi yase-Asiriya, ezambamba uManase emeveni, zambopha ngamaketanga, zamyisa eBabele.

¹² Lapho esosizini, wancenga uJehova uNkulunkulu wakhe, wazithoba kakhulu phambi kukaNkulunkulu wawoyise.

¹³ Wakhuleka kuye, wamncenga, wezwa ukunxusa kwakhe, wambuyisela eJerusalema embusweni wakhe. UManase wazi ukuthi uJehova unguNkulunkulu.

¹⁴ Emva kwalokho wakha ugange ngaphandle komuzi kaDavide ngasentshonalanga kweGihoni esigodini kwaze kwaba sekungeneni kweSango Lezinhlanzi, walihaqa i-Ofeli, waliphakamisa kakhulu. Kuyo yonke imizi ebiyelweyo yakwaJuda.

¹⁵ Wasusa onkulunkulu babezizwe nesithombe endlini kaJehova nawo wonke ama-altare ayewakhile entabeni yendlu kaJehova naseJerusalema, wakukhiphela ngaphandle komuzi.

¹⁶ Wakha i-altare likaJehova, wanikela phezu kwalo imihlatshelo neminikelo yokubonga, wayala uJuda ukuba amkhonze uJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli.

¹⁷ Kodwa abantu babelokhu behlabela ezindaweni eziphakemeyo, kodwa kuJehova uNkulunkulu wabo yedwa.

¹⁸ Ezinye izindaba zikaManase, nomkhuleko wakhe kuNkulunkulu wakhe, namazwi ababoni ababekhuluma kuye egameni likaJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, bheka, kulotshiwe encwadini yamakhosi akwa-Israyeli.

¹⁹ Nomkhuleko wakhe nokuthi uNkulunkulu wezwakala kanjani kuye, nazo zonke izono zakhe, neziphambeko zakhe, nezindawo akhe kuzo izindawo eziphakemeyo, wamisa iziqu zemithi engcwele nemifanekiso ebaziweyo, ngaphambi kokuba athotshiswe; bheka, kulotshiwe phakathi kwezahlulelo zababoni.

²⁰ UManase wayeselala koyise, bammbela endlini yakhe; u-Amoni indodana yakhe waba yinkosi esikhundleni sakhe.

²¹ U-Amoni wayeneminyaka engamashumi amabili nambili ekuqaleni kwakhe ukubusa, wabusa iminyaka emibili eJerusalema;

²² Wenza okubi emehlweni kaJehova njengoManase uyise; u-Amoni wahlabela zonke izithombe ezibaziweyo uyise uManase ayezenzile, wazikhonza;

²³ Akazithobanga phambi kukaJehova njengalokho wazithoba uManase uyise; kepha u-Amoni wona ngokwandayo.

²⁴ Izinceku zakhe zamenzela ugobe, zambulala endlini yakhe.

²⁵ Kepha abantu bezwe bababulala bonke abayenzela inkosi u-Amoni ugobe; abantu bezwe babeka uJosiya indodana yakhe inkosi esikhundleni sakhe.
