7 Iye anaika mʼnyumba ya Mulungu woona+ chifaniziro chimene anapanga. Koma ponena za nyumba imeneyo, Mulungu anauza Davide ndi mwana wake Solomo kuti: “Mʼnyumba iyi ndiponso mu Yerusalemu mzinda umene ndausankha pa mafuko onse a Isiraeli, ndidzaikamo dzina langa mpaka kalekale.+ 8 Sindidzachotsanso mapazi a Aisiraeli mʼdziko limene ndinapereka kwa makolo awo, ngati atayesetsa kutsatira zonse zimene ndinawalamula zomwe ndi Chilamulo chonse, malangizo onse ndi ziweruzo zonse zimene ndinawapatsa kudzera mwa Mose.” 9 Manase anapitiriza kusocheretsa Yuda ndi anthu a ku Yerusalemu ndipo anawachititsa kuti azichita zinthu zoipa kuposa zimene ankachita anthu a mitundu yomwe Yehova anaiwononga pamaso pa Aisiraeli.+

Kenako anamʼbwezera ku Yerusalemu ndipo anakhalanso mfumu.+ Zitatero, Manase anadziwa kuti Yehova ndi Mulungu woona.+
14 Pambuyo pa zimenezi, Manase anamanga mpanda kunja kwa Mzinda wa Davide,+ kumadzulo kwa Gihoni,+ kuyambira mʼchigwa kukafika ku Geti la Nsomba.+ Mpandawo unazungulira nʼkukafika ku Ofeli+ ndipo anaukweza kwambiri. Iye anaikanso akuluakulu a asilikali mʼmizinda yonse ya Yuda yokhala ndi mipanda yolimba kwambiri. 15 Kenako anachotsa milungu yachilendo, fano limene linali mʼnyumba ya Yehova+ ndi maguwa onse ansembe amene anamanga mʼphiri la nyumba ya Yehova+ ndi mu Yerusalemu. Atatero anakataya zinthu zimenezi kunja kwa mzindawo. 16 Komanso Manase anakonza guwa lansembe la Yehova+ nʼkuyamba kuperekapo nsembe zamgwirizano+ ndi nsembe zoyamikira,+ ndipo anauza Ayuda kuti azitumikira Yehova Mulungu wa Isiraeli. 17 Koma anthu ankaperekabe nsembe mʼmalo okwezeka, kungoti ankazipereka kwa Yehova Mulungu wawo.
18 Nkhani zina zokhudza Manase, pemphero limene anapereka kwa Mulungu wake ndiponso mawu a anthu amasomphenya amene analankhula naye mʼdzina la Yehova Mulungu wa Isiraeli, zalembedwa munkhani za mafumu a Isiraeli. 19 Nkhani zokhudza pemphero lake,+ zokhudza mmene Mulungu anamvera pemphero lake lochonderera, machimo ake onse komanso kusakhulupirika kwake+ zinalembedwa mʼmawu a amasomphenya ake. Munalembedwanso nkhani zokhudza kumene iye anamangako malo okwezeka nʼkuikako mizati yopatulika*+ ndi zifaniziro zogoba iye asanadzichepetse. 20 Kenako, mofanana ndi makolo ake, Manase anamwalira ndipo anaikidwa mʼmanda panyumba yake. Ndiyeno mwana wake Amoni anakhala mfumu mʼmalo mwake.+
21 Amoni+ anayamba kulamulira ali ndi zaka 22 ndipo analamulira zaka ziwiri ku Yerusalemu.+ 22 Iye ankachita zoipa pamaso pa Yehova ngati mmene anachitira Manase bambo ake.+ Amoni ankapereka nsembe kwa zifaniziro zonse zogoba zimene bambo ake anapanga+ ndipo anapitiriza kuzitumikira. 23 Koma iye sanadzichepetse pamaso pa Yehova+ ngati mmene anachitira Manase bambo ake+ moti Amoni anapalamula kwambiri. 24 Patapita nthawi, atumiki ake anamukonzera chiwembu+ ndipo anamuphera mʼnyumba mwake. 25 Koma anthu amʼdzikolo anapha anthu onse amene anachitira chiwembu Mfumu Amoni.+ Kenako anthuwo anaika mwana wake Yosiya+ kuti akhale mfumu mʼmalo mwake.
