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.

¹Manasej je bil dvanajst let star, ko je zavladal, in vladal je petinpetdeset let v Jeruzalemu. Materi njegovi pa je bilo ime Hefziba.

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.

²In delal je, kar je bilo hudo v očeh GOSPODOVIH, po gnusobah narodov, ki jih je GOSPOD izgnal pred sinovi Izraelovimi.

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.

³Zakaj zgradil je zopet višave, ki jih je bil zrušil njegov oče Ezekija, in je postavil oltarje Baalu in napravil Ašero, kakor je storil Ahab, kralj Izraelov, in poklanjal se vsej vojski nebeški in služil zvezdam.

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

⁴In sezidal je oltarje v hiši GOSPODOVI, o kateri je bil rekel GOSPOD: V Jeruzalemu postavim ime svoje.

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

⁵Sezidal je tudi oltarje vsej vojski nebeški na obeh dvoriščih pri hiši GOSPODOVI.

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.

⁶In svojega sina je daroval, da je šel skozi ogenj, in se je pečal z vedeževanjem in zaklinjanjem in podpiral rotilce duhov in čarodejnike: delal je mnogo hudega v očeh GOSPODOVIH, da bi ga dražil v jezo.

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:

⁷Postavil je tudi rezano podobo Ašere, ki jo je bil naredil, v hiši, o kateri je GOSPOD rekel Davidu in Salomonu, sinu njegovemu: V tej hiši in v Jeruzalemu, ki sem ga izvolil iz vseh rodov Izraelovih, postavim ime svoje za vekomaj;

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.

⁸tudi ne pustim več, da bi šle noge Izraelove z zemlje, ki sem jo dal njih očetom, ako bodo le pazili, da delajo po vsem, kar sem jim ukazal, in po vsej postavi, ki jim jo je zapovedal hlapec moj Mojzes.

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.

⁹Ali niso poslušali; in Manasej jih je zapeljeval, da delajo, kar je hudo, bolj nego narodi, ki jih je GOSPOD potrebil pred sinovi Izraelovimi.

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

¹⁰Tedaj je govoril GOSPOD po svojih hlapcih, prorokih, in dejal:

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:

¹¹Ker je storil Manasej, kralj Judov, vse te gnusobe in delal krivično bolj, nego karkoli so delali Amorejci, ki so živeli pred njim, in je napeljal Judo, da tudi greši ž njegovimi maliki:

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.

¹²zatorej pravi tako GOSPOD, Bog Izraelov: Glej, jaz pripravim takšno nesrečo nad Jeruzalem in nad Judo, da mu bode, kdorkoli bo o tem slišal, zvenelo po obeh ušesih.

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.

¹³In potegnem čez Jeruzalem mersko vrvico samarijsko in grezilo hiše Ahabove, in izpraznim Jeruzalem, kakor če kdo obriše skledo: obrišejo in povezne.

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;

¹⁴In zavržem ostanek dediščine svoje in jih izdam v roko njih sovražnikov, in bodo v rop in v plen vsem sovražnikom svojim,

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.

¹⁵ker so delali, kar je zlo v mojih očeh, in so me dražili v jezo od dne, ko so odšli njih očetje iz Egipta, do sedaj.

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.

¹⁶In Manasej je tudi prelil veliko nedolžne krvi, dokler ni ž njo napolnil Jeruzalema od enega konca do drugega, razen svojega greha, s katerim je zapeljeval Judo v greh, da so delali, kar je bilo hudo v očeh GOSPODOVIH.

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?

¹⁷Druge zgodbe pa Manasejeve in vse, kar je storil, in greh, s katerim je grešil, ni li zapisano v knjigi letopisov kraljev Judovih?

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.

¹⁸In Manasej je legel k očetom svojim in je bil pokopan na vrtu hiše svoje, na vrtu Uzovem. In zakraljeval je sin njegov Amon namesto njega.

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.

¹⁹Dvaindvajset let je bil star Amon, ko je zakraljeval, in vladal je dve leti v Jeruzalemu; in materi njegovi je bilo ime Mesulemeta, hči Haruzova iz Jotbe.

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

²⁰In delal je, kar je bilo hudo v očeh GOSPODOVIH, kakor je bil delal oče njegov Manasej.

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

²¹In hodil je po vsej poti, po kateri je hodil oče njegov, služeč malikom, ki jim je služil njegov oče, in klanjajoč se jim;

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

²²GOSPODA pa, Boga očetov svojih, je opustil, in ni hodil po poti GOSPODOVI.

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

²³In služabniki Amonovi so sklenili zaroto zoper njega in so kralja usmrtili v hiši njegovi.

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.

²⁴A ljudstvo dežele je pobilo vse, ki so se bili zarotili zoper njega; in ljudstvo dežele je postavilo Josija, sina njegovega, za kralja na mestu njegovem.

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?

²⁵Kar je pa več praviti o Amonu, kar je storil, ni li zapisano v knjigi letopisov kraljev Judovih?In pokopali so ga v grobu njegovem na vrtu Uzovem. In Josija, sin njegov, je zavladal na mestu njegovem.

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

²⁶In pokopali so ga v grobu njegovem na vrtu Uzovem. In Josija, sin njegov, je zavladal na mestu njegovem.
