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.

¹Manase wakatanga kubata ushe ava namakore ane gumi namaviri; akabata ushe makore makumi mashanu namashanu paJerusaremu; zita ramai vake raiva Hefizibha.

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.

²Akaita zvakaipa pamberi paJehovha, akatevera zvinonyangadza zvavahedheni vakanga vadzingwa naJehovha pamberi pavana vaIsiraeri.

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.

³nekuti wakavakazve matunhu akakwirira, akanga aparadzwa nababa vake Hezekia; akamutsira Bhaari aritari, akaisapo danda rokunamata naro, sezvakaita Ahabhi mambo waIsiraeri; akanamata hondo dzose dzokudenga, akadzishumira.

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

⁴Akavaka aritari mumba maJehovha, kunyange Jehovha akanga ati, PaJerusaremu ndipo pandichaisa zita rangu.

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

⁵Akavakira hondo dzose dzokudenga aritari muvazhe mbiri dzeimba yaJehovha.

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.

⁶Akapinza mwanakomana wake mumoto, akatenda mashura, akaita mazango, akagadza masvikiro navauki; akaita zvakaipa zvizhinji pamberi paJehovha, ndokumutsamwisa nazvo.

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:

⁷Akaisa mufananidzo wedanda rokunamata naro raakaveza mumba makanzi naJehovha kuna Dhavhidhi nokuna Soromoni mwanakomana wake, Ndichaisa zita rangu nokusingaperi paimba ino napaJerusaremu, randakazvitsaurira pakati pamarudzi ose aIsiraeri.

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.

⁸Handichazofambisa-fambisa tsoka dzavaIsiraeri kunze kwenyika yandakapa madzibaba avo; kana vachichenjerachetekuita zvandakavaraira, nomurayiro wose wavakarairwa naMozisi muranda wangu.

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.

⁹Asi havana kuteerera; Manase akavatsausa vakaita zvakaipa kupfuura zvakaitwa nendudzi dzakaparadzwa naJehovha pamberi pavana vaIsiraeri.

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

¹⁰Jehovha akataura navo navaporofita varanda vake, akati,

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:

¹¹Manase mambo waJudha zvaakaita zvinonyangadza izvi, akaita zvakaipa kupfuura zvose zvakaitwa navaAmori vakamutangira, akatadzisawo Judha nezvifananidzo zvake.

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.

¹²Naizvozvo zvanzi naJehovha Mwari waIsiraeri, Tarirai, ndichauyisira Jerusaremu naJudha zvakaipa zvikadai, kuti vose vanozvinzwa nzeve dzavo dzichaunga.

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.

¹³Ndichayera Jerusaremu norwozi rwandakayera Samaria narwo, uye norwozi rwandakaruramisa imba yaAhabhi narwo; ndichapisika Jerusaremu somunhu unopisika ndiro, unoipisika akaitsindikira.

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;

¹⁴Ndicharasha vakasara venhaka yangu, ndivaise mumaoko avavengi vavo; vachapedzwa nokuparadzwa navaven.gi vavo vose;

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.

¹⁵nekuti vakaita zvakaipa pamberi pangu, vakanditsamwisa, kubva pazuva rokubuda kwamadzibaba avo paEgipita kusvikira zuva ranhasi.

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.

¹⁶Manase akateurawo ropa rakawanda risine mhosva, kusvikira azadza Jerusaremu kubva kurutivi rumwe kusvikira kuno rumwe rutivi; zvivi zvake zvaakatadzisa Judha nazvo, achiita zvakaipa pamberi paJehovha, zvisingaverengwi.

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?

¹⁷Zvino mamwe mabasa aManase, nezvose zvaakaita, nezvivi zvake zvaakaita, hazvina kunyorwa here mubhuku yaMakoronike amadzimambo aJudha?

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.

¹⁸Manase akavata namadzibaba ake, akavigwa mumunda weimba yake, mumunda waUza; Amoni mwanakomana wake akamutevera paushe.

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.

¹⁹Amoni wakatanga kubata ushe ava namakore makumi maviri namaviri akabata ushe paJerusaremu makore maviri; zita ramai vake rakanga riri Meshuremeti, mukunda waHaruzi weJotibha.

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

²⁰Akaita zvakaipa pamberi paJehovha, sezvakaita Manase baba vake.

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

²¹Akafamba nenzira yose yakafambwa nababa vake, akashumira zvifananidzo zvakashumirwa nababa vake, akazvinamata;

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

²²akasiya Jehovha Mwari wamadzibaba ake, akasafamba nenzira yaJehovha.

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

²³Zvino varanda vaAmoni vakamurangana vakamumukira, vakauraya mambo mumba make.

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.

²⁴Asi vanhu venyika iyo vakazouraya vose vakarangana vakamukira mambo Amoni; vanhu venyika iyo vakaita mwanakomana wake Josiya mambo panzvimbo yake.

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?

²⁵Zvino mamwe mabasa aAmoni aakaita, hazvina kunyorwa here mubhuku yaMakoronike amadzimambo aJudha?

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

²⁶Akavigwa muhwiro hwake mumunda waUza; Josiya mwanakomana wake akamutevera paushe.
