¹كان منسّى ابن اثنتي عشرة سنة حين ملك وملك خمسا وخمسين سنة في اورشليم

¹A son of twelve years is Manasseh in his reigning, and fifty and five years he hath reigned in Jerusalem;

²وعمل الشر في عيني الرب حسب رجاسات الامم الذين طردهم الرب من امام بني اسرئيل.

²and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, like the abominations of the nations that Jehovah dispossessed from the presence of the sons of Israel,

³وعاد فبنى المرتفعات التي هدمها حزقيا ابوه واقام مذابح للبعليم وعمل سواري وسجد لكل جند السماء وعبدها.

³and he turneth and buildeth the high places that Hezekiah his father hath broken down, and raiseth altars for Baalim, and maketh shrines, and boweth himself to all the host of the heavens, and serveth them.

⁴وبنى مذابح في بيت الرب الذي قال عنه الرب في اورشليم يكون اسمي الى الابد.

⁴And he hath built altars in the house of Jehovah of which Jehovah had said, `In Jerusalem is My name to the age.'

⁵وبنى مذابح لكل جند السماء في داري بيت الرب.

⁵And he buildeth altars to all the host of the heavens in the two courts of the house of Jehovah.

⁶وعبّر بنيه في النار في وادي ابن هنّوم وعاف وتفائل وسحر واستخدم جانا وتابعة واكثر عمل الشرّ في عيني الرب لاغاظته.

⁶And he hath caused his sons to pass over through fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom, and observed clouds and used enchantments and witchcraft, and dealt with a familiar spirit, and a wizard; he hath multiplied to do the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, to provoke him to anger.

⁷ووضع تمثال الشكل الذي عمله في بيت الله الذي قال الله عنه لداود ولسليمان ابنه في هذا البيت وفي اورشليم التي اخترت من جميع اسباط اسرائيل اضع اسمي الى الابد.

⁷And he placeth the graven image of the idol that he made in the house of God, of which God said unto David, and unto Solomon his son, `In this house, and in Jerusalem that I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, I put My name to the age,

⁸ولا اعود ازحزح رجل اسرائيل عن الارض التي عيّنت لآبائهم وذلك اذا حفظوا وعملوا كل ما اوصيتهم به كل الشريعة والفرائض والاحكام عن يد موسى.

⁸and I add not to turn aside the foot of Israel from off the ground that I appointed to your fathers, only, if they watch to do all that I have commanded them -- to all the law, and the statutes, and the ordinances by the hand of Moses.'

⁹ولكن منسّى اضلّ يهوذا وسكان اورشليم ليعملوا اشر من الامم الذين طردهم الرب من امام بني اسرائيل.

⁹And Manasseh maketh Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to err, to do evil above the nations that Jehovah destroyed from the presence of the sons of Israel.

¹⁰وكلّم الرب منسّى وشعبه فلم يصغوا

¹⁰And Jehovah speaketh unto Manasseh and unto his people, and they have not attended,

¹¹فجلب الرب عليهم رؤساء الجند الذين لملك اشور فأخذوا منسّى بخزامة وقيدوه بسلاسل نحاس وذهبوا به الى بابل.

¹¹and Jehovah bringeth in against them the heads of the host that the king of Asshur hath, and they capture Manasseh among the thickets, and bind him with brazen fetters, and cause him to go to Babylon.

¹²ولما تضايق طلب وجه الرب الهه وتواضع جدا امام اله آبائه

¹²And when he is in distress he hath appeased the face of Jehovah his God, and is humbled exceedingly before the God of his fathers,

¹³وصلّى اليه فاستجاب له وسمع تضرعه ورده الى اورشليم الى مملكته. فعلم منسّى ان الرب هو الله.

¹³and prayeth unto Him, and He is entreated of him, and heareth his supplication, and bringeth him back to Jerusalem, to his kingdom, and Manasseh knoweth that Jehovah -- He [is] God.

¹⁴وبعد ذلك بنى سورا خارج مدينة داود غربا الى جيحون في الوادي والى مدخل باب السمك وحوّط الاكمة بسور وعلاه جدا. ووضع رؤساء جيوش في جميع المدن الحصينة في يهوذا.

¹⁴And after this he hath built an outer wall to the city of David, on the west of Gihon, in the valley, and at the entering in at the fish-gate, and it hath gone round to the tower, and he maketh it exceeding high, and he putteth heads of the force in all the cities of the bulwarks in Judah.

¹⁵وازال الآلهة الغريبة والاشباه من بيت الرب وجميع المذابح التي بناها في جبل بيت الرب وفي اورشليم وطرحها خارج المدينة.

¹⁵And he turneth aside the gods of the stranger, and the idol, out of the house of Jehovah, and all the altars that he had built in the mount of the house of Jehovah and in Jerusalem, and casteth [them] to the outside of the city.

¹⁶ورمم مذبح الرب وذبح عليه ذبائح سلامة وشكر وأمر يهوذا ان يعبدوا الرب اله اسرائيل.

¹⁶And he buildeth the altar of Jehovah, and sacrificeth upon it sacrifices of peace-offerings and thank-offering, and saith to Judah to serve Jehovah, God of Israel;

¹⁷الا ان الشعب كانوا بعد يذبحون على المرتفعات انما للرب الههم.

¹⁷but still the people are sacrificing in high places, only -- to Jehovah their God.

¹⁸وبقية امور منسّى وصلاته الى الهه وكلام الرائين الذين كلموه باسم الرب اله اسرائيل ها هي في اخبار ملوك اسرائيل.

¹⁸And the rest of the matters of Manasseh, and his prayer unto his God, and the matters of the seers, those speaking unto him in the name of Jehovah, God of Israel, lo, they are [on the book of] the matters of the kings of Israel;

¹⁹وصلاته والاستجابة له وكل خطاياه وخيانته والاماكن التي بنى فيها مرتفعات واقام سواري وتماثيل قبل تواضعه ها هي مكتوبة في اخبار الرائين.

¹⁹and his prayer, and his entreaty, and all his sin, and his trespass, and the places in which he had built high places, and established the shrines and the graven images before his being humbled, lo, they are written beside the matters of Hozai.

²⁰ثم اضطجع منسّى مع آبائه فدفنوه في بيته وملك آمون ابنه عوضا عنه

²⁰And Manasseh lieth with his fathers, and they bury him in his own house, and reign doth Amon his son in his stead.

²¹كان آمون ابن اثنتين وعشرين سنة حين ملك وملك سنتين في اورشليم.

²¹A son of twenty and two years [is] Amon in his reigning, and two years he hath reigned in Jerusalem,

²²وعمل الشر في عيني الرب كما عمل منسّى ابوه. وذبح آمون لجميع التماثيل التي عمل منسّى ابوه وعبدها.

²²and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, as did Manasseh his father, and to all the graven images that Manasseh his father had made hath Amon sacrificed, and serveth them,

²³ولم يتواضع امام الرب كما تواضع منسّى ابوه بل ازداد آمون اثما.

²³and hath not been humbled before Jehovah, like the humbling of Manasseh his father, for Amon himself hath multiplied guilt.

²⁴وفتن عليه عبيده وقتلوه في بيته.

²⁴And his servants conspire against him, and put him to death in his own house,

²⁵وقتل شعب الارض جميع الفاتنين على الملك آمون وملّك شعب الارض يوشيا ابنه عوض عنه

²⁵and the people of the land smite all those conspiring against king Amon, and the people of the land cause Josiah his son to reign in his stead.
