¹Manašeu je bilo dvanaest godina kad se zakraljio. Pedeset i pet godina kraljevao je u Jeruzalemu. Njegova se majka zvala Hefsi-Bah.

¹Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign; and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Hephzibah.

²Činio je što je zlo u Jahvinim očima, povodeći se za gnusobama naroda što ih je Jahve protjerao pred Izraelovim sinovima.

²And he did evil in the sight of Jehovah, like the abominations of the nations that Jehovah had dispossessed from before the children of Israel.

³Obnovio je uzvišice što ih bijaše oborio otac mu Ezekija, podigao je žrtvenik Baalu, načinio ašere kako bijaše učinio izraelski kralj Ahab; i stao se klanjati svoj vojsci nebeskoj i služiti joj.

³And he built again the high places that Hezekiah his father had destroyed; and he reared up altars to Baal and made an Asherah, as did Ahab king of Israel; and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served them.

⁴Podigao je žrtvenike i u Domu Jahvinu, za koji bijaše rekao Jahve: "U Jeruzalemu će prebivati moje Ime zauvijek."

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

⁵Sagradio je žrtvenike svoj nebeskoj vojsci u oba predvorja Doma Jahvina.

⁵And he built altars to all the host of heaven in both courts of the house of Jehovah.

⁶I sinove je svoje proveo kroz oganj. Vračao je, gatao, stvorio bajače i opsjenare, učinio je premnogo zla u očima Jahve i razjarivao ga.

⁶And he caused his son to pass through the fire, and used magic and divination, and appointed necromancers and soothsayers: he wrought evil beyond measure in the sight of Jehovah, to provoke him to anger.

⁷Dao je načiniti lik Ašere i posadio ga u Domu, za koji Jahve bijaše rekao Davidu i njegovu sinu Salomonu: "U ovom Domu i u Jeruzalemu, koji sam izabrao među svim izraelskim plemenima, postavit ću svoje Ime zauvijek.

⁷And he set the graven image of the Asherah that he had made, in the house of which Jehovah had 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 for ever;

⁸Neću više dati da noga Izraelaca uzmakne iz zemlje koju sam dao u baštinu njihovim očevima, samo ako budu držali i provodili u djelo sve što sam im zapovjedio: Zakon što im ga je objavio moj sluga Mojsije."

⁸neither will I any more cause the foot of Israel to wander away from the land that I gave their fathers; if they will only take heed to do according to all that I have commanded them, and according to all the law that my servant Moses commanded them.

⁹Ali oni nisu poslušali, Manaše ih je zaveo te su radili još gore nego narodi što ih je Jahve iskorijenio pred Izraelovim sinovima.

⁹But they would not hearken, and Manasseh led them astray to do more evil than the nations that Jehovah had destroyed from before the children of Israel.

¹⁰Tada je Jahve ovako govorio preko slugu svojih proroka:

¹⁰And Jehovah spoke by his servants the prophets saying,

¹¹"Zato što je judejski kralj Manaše činio te gnusobe, zato što je učinio više zla nego što su prije njega radili Amorejci i što je zaveo Judejce svojim idolima,

¹¹Because Manasseh king of Judah hath done these abominations, and hath done wickedly above all that the Amorites did, who were before him, and hath made Judah also to sin with his idols;

¹²ovako veli Jahve, Bog Izraelov: 'Evo, učinit ću da dođe nevolja na Jeruzalem i Judeju, takva da će zazujati oba uha onima koji o njoj čuju.

¹²therefore thus saith Jehovah the God of Israel: Behold, I will bring evil upon Jerusalem and Judah, that whosoever heareth of it, both his ears shall tingle.

¹³Nategnut ću nad Jeruzalemom isto uže kao nad Samarijom, isto mjerilo kao nad kućom Ahabovom; zbrisat ću Jeruzalem kao što se briše zdjela pa se tad izvrne.

¹³And I will stretch over Jerusalem the line of Samaria, and the plummet of the house of Ahab, and I will wipe Jerusalem as one wipeth a pan, wiping it and turning it upside down.

¹⁴Odbacit ću ostatke svoje baštine, predat ću ih u ruke njihovih neprijatelja; služit će za plijen i grabež svim svojim neprijateljima

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;

¹⁵jer su činili što je zlo u mojim očima jer su izazivali moj gnjev od dana kada su njihovi oci izišli iz Egipta pa sve do danas.'"

¹⁵because they have done evil in my sight, and have provoked me to anger, since the day their fathers came forth out of Egypt even to this day.

¹⁶I mnogo je nedužne krvi prolio Manaše, tako da se njome napunio Jeruzalem od jednoga kraja do drugoga, da se i ne spominje njegov grijeh kojim je zaveo Judu da čini što je zlo u očima Jahvinim.

¹⁶And Manasseh shed very much innocent blood, till he had filled Jerusalem [with it] from one end to another; beside his sin with which he made Judah to sin, in doing evil in the sight of Jehovah.

¹⁷Ostala povijest Manašeova, njegova djela i grijesi koje je počinio, zar sve to nije zapisano u knjizi Ljetopisa judejskih kraljeva?

¹⁷And the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and all that he did, and his sin which he sinned, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

¹⁸Manaše je počinuo kraj svojih otaca i sahranjen je u vrtu svojeg dvora, u vrtu Uzinu. Sin mu Amon zakralji se mjesto njega.

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.

¹⁹Amonu bijahu dvadeset i dvije godine kad je zavladao, a kraljevao je dvije godine u Jeruzalemu. Njegova se majka zvala Mešulemet, kći Harusova, i bila je iz Jotbe.

¹⁹Amon was twenty-two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned two years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Meshullemeth, daughter of Haruz of Jotbah.

²⁰On je činio što je zlo u očima Jahvinim, kao što je činio njegov otac Manaše.

²⁰And he did evil in the sight of Jehovah, as Manasseh his father had done;

²¹U svemu je slijedio put svoga oca, služio je idolima kojima je služio i njegov otac i klanjao im se.

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

²²On je ostavio Jahvu, Boga svojih praotaca, i nije hodio putem Jahvinim.

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

²³Amonovi se časnici urotiše protiv njega i ubiše kralja u dvoru.

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

²⁴Ali je prosti puk pobio sve one koji se bijahu urotili protiv kralja Amona i na njegovo mjesto zakraljio sina mu Jošiju.

²⁴But the people of the land smote all them that had conspired against king Amon; and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his stead.

²⁵Ostala povijest Amonova i sve što je činio, zar sve to nije zapisano u knjizi Ljetopisa judejskih kraljeva?

²⁵And the rest of the acts of Amon, what he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

²⁶Pokopali su ga u grobnicu njegova oca, u vrtu Uzinu, a njegov sin Jošija zakralji se mjesto njega.

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