1كان منسّى ابن اثنتي عشرة سنة حين ملك وملك خمسا وخمسين سنة في اورشليم
1Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign; and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem.
2وعمل الشر في عيني الرب حسب رجاسات الامم الذين طردهم الرب من امام بني اسرئيل.
2He did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, after the abominations of the nations whom Yahweh cast out before the children of Israel.
3وعاد فبنى المرتفعات التي هدمها حزقيا ابوه واقام مذابح للبعليم وعمل سواري وسجد لكل جند السماء وعبدها.
3For he built again the high places which Hezekiah his father had broken down; and he reared up altars for the Baals, and made Asheroth, and worshiped all the army of the sky, and served them.
4وبنى مذابح في بيت الرب الذي قال عنه الرب في اورشليم يكون اسمي الى الابد.
4He built altars in the house of Yahweh, of which Yahweh said, “My name shall be in Jerusalem forever.”
5وبنى مذابح لكل جند السماء في داري بيت الرب.
5He built altars for all the army of the sky in the two courts of the house of Yahweh.
6وعبّر بنيه في النار في وادي ابن هنّوم وعاف وتفائل وسحر واستخدم جانا وتابعة واكثر عمل الشرّ في عيني الرب لاغاظته.
6He also made his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom; and he practiced sorcery, and used enchantments, and practiced sorcery, and dealt with those who had familiar spirits, and with wizards: he worked much evil in the sight of Yahweh, 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.
7He set the engraved image of the idol, which he had made, in God’s house, of which God said to David and to Solomon his son, “In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, will I put my name forever:
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.
8neither will I any more remove the foot of Israel from off the land which I have appointed for your fathers, if only they will observe to do all that I have commanded them, even all the law and the statutes and the ordinances given by Moses.”
9ولكن منسّى اضلّ يهوذا وسكان اورشليم ليعملوا اشر من الامم الذين طردهم الرب من امام بني اسرائيل.
9Manasseh seduced Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that they did more evil than the nations whom Yahweh destroyed before the children of Israel did.
10وكلّم الرب منسّى وشعبه فلم يصغوا
10Yahweh spoke to Manasseh, and to his people; but they gave no heed.
11فجلب الرب عليهم رؤساء الجند الذين لملك اشور فأخذوا منسّى بخزامة وقيدوه بسلاسل نحاس وذهبوا به الى بابل.
11Therefore Yahweh brought on them the captains of the army of the king of Assyria, who took Manasseh in chains, and bound him with fetters, and carried him to Babylon.
12ولما تضايق طلب وجه الرب الهه وتواضع جدا امام اله آبائه
12When he was in distress, he begged Yahweh his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers.
13وصلّى اليه فاستجاب له وسمع تضرعه ورده الى اورشليم الى مملكته. فعلم منسّى ان الرب هو الله.
13He prayed to him; and he was entreated by him, and heard his supplication, and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that Yahweh was 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.
14Now after this he built an outer wall to the city of David, on the west side of Gihon, in the valley, even to the entrance at the fish gate; and he encircled Ophel with it, and raised it up to a very great height: and he put valiant captains in all the fortified cities of Judah.
15وازال الآلهة الغريبة والاشباه من بيت الرب وجميع المذابح التي بناها في جبل بيت الرب وفي اورشليم وطرحها خارج المدينة.
15He took away the foreign gods, and the idol out of the house of Yahweh, and all the altars that he had built in the mountain of the house of Yahweh, and in Jerusalem, and cast them out of the city.
16ورمم مذبح الرب وذبح عليه ذبائح سلامة وشكر وأمر يهوذا ان يعبدوا الرب اله اسرائيل.
16He built up the altar of Yahweh, and offered thereon sacrifices of peace offerings and of thanksgiving, and commanded Judah to serve Yahweh, the God of Israel.
17الا ان الشعب كانوا بعد يذبحون على المرتفعات انما للرب الههم.
17Nevertheless the people sacrificed still in the high places, but only to Yahweh their God.
18وبقية امور منسّى وصلاته الى الهه وكلام الرائين الذين كلموه باسم الرب اله اسرائيل ها هي في اخبار ملوك اسرائيل.
18Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and his prayer to his God, and the words of the seers who spoke to him in the name of Yahweh, the God of Israel, behold, they are written among the acts 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.
19His prayer also, and how God was entreated of him, and all his sin and his trespass, and the places in which he built high places, and set up the Asherim and the engraved images, before he humbled himself: behold, they are written in the history of Hozai.
20ثم اضطجع منسّى مع آبائه فدفنوه في بيته وملك آمون ابنه عوضا عنه
20So Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they buried him in his own house: and Amon his son reigned in his place.
21كان آمون ابن اثنتين وعشرين سنة حين ملك وملك سنتين في اورشليم.
21Amon was twenty-two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned two years in Jerusalem.
22وعمل الشر في عيني الرب كما عمل منسّى ابوه. وذبح آمون لجميع التماثيل التي عمل منسّى ابوه وعبدها.
22He did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, as did Manasseh his father; and Amon sacrificed to all the engraved images which Manasseh his father had made, and served them.
23ولم يتواضع امام الرب كما تواضع منسّى ابوه بل ازداد آمون اثما.
23He didn’t humble himself before Yahweh, as Manasseh his father had humbled himself; but this same Amon trespassed more and more.
24وفتن عليه عبيده وقتلوه في بيته.
24His servants conspired 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
25But the people of the land killed all those who had conspired against king Amon; and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his place.
