¹Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty and five years in Jerusalem:

¹Manasses mal dvanásť rokov, keď začal kraľovať, a kraľoval päťdesiatpäť rokov v Jeruzaleme.

²But did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, like unto the abominations of the heathen, whom the LORD had cast out before the children of Israel.

²A robil to, čo je zlé v očiach Hospodinových, podľa ohavností národov, ktoré vyhnal Hospodin zpred tvári synov Izraelových.

³For he built again the high places which Hezekiah his father had broken down, and he reared up altars for Baalim, and made groves, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served them.

³Lebo zase vystavil výšiny, ktoré bol rozboril Ezechiáš, jeho otec, a postavil oltáre Bálom a narobil hájov a klaňal sa všetkému vojsku nebeskému a slúžil im.

⁴Also he built altars in the house of the LORD, whereof the LORD had said, In Jerusalem shall my name be for ever.

⁴A vystavil oltáre aj v dome Hospodinovom, o ktorom povedal Hospodin: V Jeruzaleme bude moje meno na veky.

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

⁵A nastaväl oltárov všetkému vojsku nebeskému v oboch dvoroch domu Hospodinovho.

⁶And he caused his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom: also he observed times, and used enchantments, and used witchcraft, and dealt with a familiar spirit, and with wizards: he wrought much evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.

⁶A on sám dal previesť svojich synov cez oheň v údolí syna Hinnoma a planetáril, veštil a čaril a nadovážil si duchárov a vedomcov robiac mnoho takéto, čo je zlé v očiach Hospodinových, aby ho popudzoval.

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

⁷Postavil aj rytý obraz modly z kameňa, ktorý spravil, v dome Božom, o ktorom povedal Bôh Dávidovi a Šalamúnovi, jeho synovi: V tomto dome a v Jeruzaleme, ktorý som vyvolil zpomedzi všetkých pokolení Izraelových, položím svoje meno, aby tam bolo až na veky.

⁸Neither will I any more remove the foot of Israel from out of the land which I have appointed for your fathers; so that they will take heed to do all that I have commanded them, according to the whole law and the statutes and the ordinances by the hand of Moses.

⁸A neučiním toho viacej, aby som dal uhnúť nohe Izraelovej preč zo zeme, ktorú som osobitne postavil pre vašich otcov, len ak budú pozorovať, aby činili všetko to, čo som im prikázal, celý zákon a ustanovenia a súdy, vydané skrze Mojžiša.

⁹So Manasseh made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to err, and to do worse than the heathen, whom the LORD had destroyed before the children of Israel.

⁹Ale Manasses zaviedol Júdu a obyvateľov Jeruzalema do bludu, aby robili horšie ako národy, ktoré vyhladil Hospodin zpred tvári synov Izraelových.

¹⁰And the LORD spake to Manasseh, and to his people: but they would not hearken.

¹⁰A Hospodin hovoril Manassesovi a jeho ľudu, ale nepozorovali.

¹¹Wherefore the LORD brought upon them the captains of the host of the king of Assyria, which took Manasseh among the thorns, and bound him with fetters, and carried him to Babylon.

¹¹Preto doviedol na nich Hospodin veliteľov vojska assýrskeho kráľa, ktorí jali Manassesa na tŕne a poviažuc ho dvoma medenými reťazami odviedli ho do Babylona.

¹²And when he was in affliction, he besought the LORD his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers,

¹²No, keď bol sovrený, ponižoval sa a krotil tvár Hospodina, svojho Boha, a veľmi sa koril pred Bohom svojich otcov.

¹³And prayed unto him: and he was intreated of him, and heard his supplication, and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the LORD he was God.

¹³A modlil sa mu. A Bôh sa mu dal uprosiť a vyslyšal jeho pokornú prosbu a doviedol ho zpät do Jeruzalema do jeho kráľovstva. A tak poznal Manasses, že on, Hospodin, je Bohom.

¹⁴Now after this he built a wall without the city of David, on the west side of Gihon, in the valley, even to the entering in at the fish gate, and compassed about Ophel, and raised it up a very great height, and put captains of war in all the fenced cities of Judah.

¹⁴Potom vystavil vonkajší múr mesta Dávidovho na západ od Gichona, v údolí, a jako sa ide k Rybej bráne, a obohnal múrom Ofel a vyhnal ho, múr, veľmi vysoko. A postavil veliteľov vojska do všetkých miest ohradených v Judsku.

¹⁵And he took away the strange gods, and the idol out of the house of the LORD, and all the altars that he had built in the mount of the house of the LORD, and in Jerusalem, and cast them out of the city.

¹⁵A odstránil cudzích bohov aj kamenný obraz modly z domu Hospodinovho i všetky oltáre, ktoré bol vystavil na vrchu domu Hospodinovho a v Jeruzaleme, a vyhádzal to von za mesto.

¹⁶And he repaired the altar of the LORD, and sacrificed thereon peace offerings and thank offerings, and commanded Judah to serve the LORD God of Israel.

¹⁶Potom vystavil oltár Hospodinov a obetoval na ňom pokojné obeti bitné a obeti chvály a rozkázal Júdovi, aby slúžili Hospodinovi, Bohu Izraelovmu.

¹⁷Nevertheless the people did sacrifice still in the high places, yet unto the LORD their God only.

¹⁷Avšak ľud ešte vždy obetoval na výšinách, len že Hospodinovi, svojmu Bohu.

¹⁸Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and his prayer unto his God, and the words of the seers that spake to him in the name of the LORD God of Israel, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel.

¹⁸A ostatné deje Manassesove a jeho modlitba k jeho Bohu jako i slová vidiacich, ktorí mu hovorievali v mene Hospodina, Boha Izraelovho, to hľa, je napísané v dejinách kráľov Izraelových.

¹⁹His prayer also, and how God was intreated of him, and all his sins, and his trespass, and the places wherein he built high places, and set up groves and graven images, before he was humbled: behold, they are written among the sayings of the seers.

¹⁹A jeho modlitba, a jako sa mu dal Bôh uprosiť, a všetky jeho hriechy i jeho prestúpenie i miesta, na ktorých bol vystavil výšiny, a kde bol postavil háje a rytiny, prv ako sa pokoril, to hľa, je napísané v dejinách Chozaiho.

²⁰So Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they buried him in his own house: and Amon his son reigned in his stead.

²⁰A tak ľahol Manasses a ležal so svojimi otcami, a pochovali ho v jeho dome. A kraľoval Amon, jeho syn, miesto neho.

²¹Amon was two and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned two years in Jerusalem.

²¹Amon mal dvadsaťdva rokov, keď začal kraľovať, a kraľoval dva roky v Jeruzaleme.

²²But he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, as did Manasseh his father: for Amon sacrificed unto all the carved images which Manasseh his father had made, and served them;

²²Robil to, čo je zlé v očiach Hospodinových, ako bol robil Manasses, jeho otec, lebo Amon obetoval všetkým rytinám, ktorých bol narobil Manasses, jeho otec, a slúžil im.

²³And humbled not himself before the LORD, as Manasseh his father had humbled himself; but Amon trespassed more and more.

²³Nepokoril sa pred Hospodinom, ako sa pokoril Manasses, jeho otec, lebo on, Amon, hrešil o mnoho viac.

²⁴And his servants conspired against him, and slew him in his own house.

²⁴A sprisahali sa proti nemu jeho služobníci a zabili ho v jeho dome.

²⁵But 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.

²⁵A zase ľud zeme pobil všetkých tých, ktorí sa sprisahali proti kráľovi Amonovi, a ľud zeme urobil kráľom Joziáša, jeho syna, miesto neho.
