¹Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and reigned fifty and five years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Hephzibah.

¹¶ Kotahi tekau ma rua nga tau o Manahi i tona kingitanga, a e rima tekau ma rima nga tau i kingi ai ia ki Hiruharama; a ko te ingoa o tona whaea ko Hepetipa.

²And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, after the abominations of the heathen, whom the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.

²A he kino tana mahi ki te titiro a Ihowa, i rite tonu ki nga mea whakarihariha a nga tauiwi i peia nei e Ihowa i te aroaro o nga tama a Iharaira.

³For he built up again the high places which Hezekiah his father had destroyed; and he reared up altars for Baal, and made a grove, as did Ahab king of Israel; and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served them.

³I hanga ano hoki e ia nga wahi tiketike i whakakorea ra e Hetekia, e tona papa i whakaarahia ake ana e ia he aata ki a Paara, hanga ana e ia he Ahera, pera ana me ta Ahapa kingi o Iharaira i mea ai, a koropiko ana ki te ope katoa o te rangi, mahi ana ki a ratou.

⁴And he built altars in the house of the LORD, of which the LORD said, In Jerusalem will I put my name.

⁴I hanga hoki e ia etahi aata ki te whare o Ihowa, ki ta Ihowa i ki ra, Ko Hiruharama hei waihotanga mo toku ingoa.

⁵And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the LORD.

⁵I hanga ano e ia etahi aata mo te ope katoa o te rangi ki nga marae e rua o te whare o Ihowa.

⁶And he made his son pass through the fire, and observed times, and used enchantments, and dealt with familiar spirits and wizards: he wrought much wickedness in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.

⁶A meatia ana e ia tana tama kia tika na waenganui i te ahi, rapua ana e ia he tohu i nga kapua, i nga nakahi, i whai hoki ia ki nga atua maori, ki nga mata maori; nui atu tana kino i mahi ai ki te titiro a Ihowa hei whakapataritari i a ia.

⁷And he set a graven image of the grove that he had made in the house, of which the LORD said to David, and to Solomon his son, In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all tribes of Israel, will I put my name for ever:

⁷A i whakaturia e ia he whakapakoko no Ahera, i mahia e ia ki te whare i ki ra a Ihowa ki a Rawiri raua ko tana tama ko Horomona, Hei tenei whare, hei Hiruharama i whiriwhiria nei e ahau i roto i nga iwi katoa o Iharaira ahau waiho ai i toku ingoa a ake ake.

⁸Neither will I make the feet of Israel move any more out of the land which I gave their fathers; only if they will observe to do according to all that I have commanded them, and according to all the law that my servant Moses commanded them.

⁸A heoi aku whakanekehanga i nga waewae o Iharaira i te whenua i hoatu e ahau ki o ratou matua: ki te mau raia ratou ki te mahi i nga mea katoa i whakahaua e ahau ki a ratou, kia rite ki te ture katoa i whakahaua e Mohi, e taku pononga ki a ratou.

⁹But they hearkened not: and Manasseh seduced them to do more evil than did the nations whom the LORD destroyed before the children of Israel.

⁹Otiia kihai ratou i rongo: i takina ketia ratou e Manahi kia nui atu ta ratou mahi kino i ta nga iwi i huna nei e Ihowa i te aroaro o nga tama a Iharaira.

¹⁰And the LORD spake by his servants the prophets, saying,

¹⁰¶ I korero ano a Ihowa, ara ana pononga, nga poropiti, i mea,

¹¹Because Manasseh king of Judah hath done these abominations, and hath done wickedly above all that the Amorites did, which were before him, and hath made Judah also to sin with his idols:

¹¹Kua mahi nei a Manahi kingi o Hura i enei mea whakarihariha, kino atu tana i nga mea katoa i mea ai nga Amori i mua i a ia; a kua mea nei ia i a Hura kia hara ki ana whakapakoko;

¹²Therefore thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Behold, I am bringing such evil upon Jerusalem and Judah, that whosoever heareth of it, both his ears shall tingle.

¹²Mo reira ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, a te Atua o Iharaira, Tenei ahau te kawe nei i te kino ki Hiruharama raua ko Hura, e paorooro ai nga taringa e rua o nga tangata e rangona ai.

¹³And I will stretch over Jerusalem the line of Samaria, and the plummet of the house of Ahab: and I will wipe Jerusalem as a man wipeth a dish, wiping it, and turning it upside down.

¹³Ka whakamarokia e ahau te aho o Hamaria ki runga ki Hiruharama, me te parameti o te whare o Ahapa; a ka horoia e ahau a Hiruharama, ka peratia me ta te tangata horoi i te rihi; horoia ana e ia, hurihia ana ko tua.

¹⁴And I will forsake the remnant of mine inheritance, and deliver them into the hand of their enemies; and they shall become a prey and a spoil to all their enemies;

¹⁴A ka rukea atu e ahau te toenga o toku wahi tupu, ka hoatu ki nga ringa o o ratou hoariri; a hei taonga parau ratou, hei mea parakete ma o ratou hoariri katoa;

¹⁵Because they have done that which was evil in my sight, and have provoked me to anger, since the day their fathers came forth out of Egypt, even unto this day.

¹⁵Mo ratou i mahi i te kino ki taku titiro, i whakapataritari hoki i ahau, mai o te ra i puta mai ai o ratou matua i Ihipa a taea noatia tenei ra.

¹⁶Moreover Manasseh shed innocent blood very much, till he had filled Jerusalem from one end to another; beside his sin wherewith he made Judah to sin, in doing that which was evil in the sight of the LORD.

¹⁶I whakahekea ano hoki e Manahi he toto harakore, tona nui, a ki noa i a ia Hiruharama i tetahi pito ki tetahi; tapiritia ana tenei e ia ki tona hara i hara ai a Hura, i mea ai i te kino ki te titiro a Ihowa.

¹⁷Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and all that he did, and his sin that he sinned, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

¹⁷Na, ko era atu meatanga a Manahi me ana mahi katoa, me tona hara i hara ai ia, kihai ianei ena i tuhituhia ki te pukapuka o nga meatanga o nga ra o nga kingi o Hura?

¹⁸And Manasseh slept with his fathers, and was buried in the garden of his own house, in the garden of Uzza: and Amon his son reigned in his stead.

¹⁸Na ka moe a Manahi ki ona matua, a tanumia ana ki te kari o tona whare, ki te kari a Uha: a ko tana tama, ko Amono, te kingi i muri i a ia.

¹⁹Amon was twenty and two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Meshullemeth, the daughter of Haruz of Jotbah.

¹⁹¶ E rua tekau ma rua nga tau o Amono i tona kingitanga, a e rua nga tau i kingi ai ia ki Hiruharama: a ko te ingoa o tona whaea ko Mehuremete, he tamahine na Harutu, no Iotopa.

²⁰And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, as his father Manasseh did.

²⁰A he kino tana mahi ki te titiro a Ihowa, rite tonu tana mahi ki ta tona papa, ki ta Manahi.

²¹And he walked in all the way that his father walked in, and served the idols that his father served, and worshipped them:

²¹I haere hoki ia i nga ara katoa i haere ai tona papa, i mahi ki nga whakapakoko i mahi ai tona papa, a koropiko ana ia ki aua mea.

²²And he forsook the LORD God of his fathers, and walked not in the way of the LORD.

²²I whakarerea e ia a Ihowa, te Atua, o ona matua, kihai i haere i te ara o Ihowa.

²³And the servants of Amon conspired against him, and slew the king in his own house.

²³Na ka whakatupu nga tangata a Amono i te mate mona, a patua iho e ratou te kingi ki roto ano i tona whare.

²⁴And the people of the land slew all them that had conspired against king Amon; and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his stead.

²⁴Otiia i patua e nga tangata o te whenua te hunga katoa nana i whakatupu te he mo Kingi Amono; a meinga ana e nga tangata o taua whenua a Hohia, tana tama, hei kingi i muri i a ia.

²⁵Now the rest of the acts of Amon which he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

²⁵Na, ko era atu meatanga i mea ai a Amono, kahore ianei i tuhituhia ki te pukapuka o nga meatanga o nga ra o nga kingi o Hura?

²⁶And he was buried in his sepulchre in the garden of Uzza: and Josiah his son reigned in his stead.

²⁶A i tanumia ia ki tona tanumanga ki te kari a Uha, a ko Hohia, ko tana tama, te kingi i muri i a ia.
