¹Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign; and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem.

¹[Ny nanjakan'i Manase sy Amona] Roa ambin'ny folo taona Manase, fony izy vao nanjaka, ary dimy amby dimam-polo taona no nanjakany tany Jerosalema .

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.

²Ary nanao izay ratsy eo mason'i Jehovah izy tahaka ny fahavetavetan'ny firenena izay noroahin'i Jehovah tsy ho eo anoloan'ny Zanak'isiraely.

³And he built again the high places that Hezekiah his father had broken down; and he reared up altars to the Baals, and made Asherahs, and worshipped all the host of heaven and served them.

³Fa namboariny indray ny fitoerana avo, izay efa noravan'i Hezekia rainy, ka nanangana alitara ho an'ireo Bala izy sady nanao Aseraha sy niankohota teo anatrehan'izay rehetra eny amin'ny lanitra ka nanompo azy

⁴And he built altars in the house of Jehovah, of which Jehovah had said, In Jerusalem shall my name be for ever.

⁴sady nanorina alitara tao an-tranon'i Jehovah, dia tao amin'ilay nolazain'i Jehovah hoe: Any Jerosalema no hitoeran'ny anarako mandrakizay.

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

⁵Fa nanao alitara teo anatin'ny kianja roa amin'ny tranon'i Jehovah izy ho an'izay rehetra eny amin'ny lanitra.

⁶He also caused his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom; and he used magic and divination and sorcery, and appointed necromancers and soothsayers: he wrought evil beyond measure in the sight of Jehovah, to provoke him to anger.

⁶Ary ny zanany nampamakiny ny afo teo an-dohasahan'ny taranak'i Hinoma, sady nanandro sy nanao sikidy izy sy nanana ody ary naka ny manao azy ho tsindrian-javatra sy ny mpanao hatsarana, dia nahery nanao izay ratsy eo imason'i Jehovah izy ka nampahatezitra Azy.

⁷And he set the graven image of the idol that he had made, in the house of God, of which God 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;

⁷Ary izay sarin-javatra voasokitra momba ny sampy nataony dia napetrany tao an-tranon'Andriamanitra, izay nolazain'Andriamanitra tamin'Davida sy Solomona zanany hoe: Eto amin'ity trano ity sy eto Jerosalema, izay nofidiko tamin'ny firenen'isiraely rehetra, no hasiako ny anarako mandrakizay;

⁸neither will I any more remove the foot of Israel from out of the land that I have appointed to your fathers; if they will only take heed to do all that I commanded them through Moses, according to all the law and the statutes and the ordinances.

⁸ary tsy hampandeha ny tongotry ny Isiraely intsony hiala amin'ny tany izay efa notendreko ho an'ny razanareo Aho, raha mba hitandrina koa izy hanao araka izay rehetra nandidiako azy, dia araka ny lalana rehetra sy ny didy ary ny fitsipika izay nampilazaina an'i Mosesy.

⁹And Manasseh led Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem astray, to do more evil than the nations that Jehovah had destroyed from before the children of Israel.

⁹Kanjo nampivily ny Joda sy ny mponina tany Jerosalema Manase mba hanao ratsy mihoatra noho ny firenena izay naringan'i Jehovah tsy ho eo anoloan'ny Zanak'isiraely.

¹⁰And Jehovah spoke to Manasseh and to his people; but they did not hearken.

¹⁰Ary Jehovah niteny tamin'i Manase sy ny vahoakany, nefa tsy nety nihaino izy.

¹¹And Jehovah brought upon them the captains of the host of the king of Assyria, who took Manasseh with fetters, and bound him with chains of brass, and carried him to Babylon.

¹¹Dia nentin'i Jehovah hamely azy ny komandin'ny miaramilan'ny mpanjakan'i Asyria, dia nosamborin'ireo Manase ka nasiany masom-by sady nogadrany gadra varahina ary nentiny ho any Babylona.

¹²And when he was in affliction, he besought Jehovah his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers,

¹²Ary nony azom-pahoriana mafy izy, vao nifona tamin'i Jehovah Andriamaniny sady nanetry tena indrindra teo anatrehan'Andriamanitry ny razany

¹³and prayed to him. And he was intreated of him and heard his supplication, and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that Jehovah, he was God.

¹³ka nivavaka taminy; ary Jehovah nanaiky ka nihaino ny fifonany, dia nampody azy ho any Jerosalema ho any amin'ny fanjakany. Ka dia fantatr'i Manase fa Jehovah no Andriamanitra.

¹⁴And after this he built the outer wall of the city of David, on the west, toward Gihon, in the valley, even to the entrance of the fish-gate, and carried it round Ophel, and raised it up a very great height; and he put captains of war in all the fortified cities of Judah.

¹⁴Ary rehefa afaka izany, dia nanao manda teo ivelan'ny Tanànan'i Davida izy, dia teo andrefana hatrany Gihona, eo amin'ny lohasahan-driaka, ka hatramin'ny fidirana amin'ny vavahadin-kazandrano, ary nataony manodidina an'i Ofela sady nataony avo dia avo; ary nanendry izay ho komandin'ny miaramila ho any amin'ny tanàna mimanda rehetra any Joda izy.

¹⁵And he removed the strange gods, and the idol out of the house of Jehovah, and all the altars that he had built on the mount of the house of Jehovah and in Jerusalem, and cast [them] out of the city.

¹⁵Dia nesoriny ireny andriamanikafa sy ny sampy tao an-tranon'i Jehovah mbamin'ny alitara rehetra izay efa naoriny teo an-tendrombohitry ny tranon'i Jehovah sy tany Jerosalema ka nariany teny ivelan'ny tanàna.

¹⁶And he reinstated the altar of Jehovah, and sacrificed on it peace-offerings and thank-offerings, and commanded Judah to serve Jehovah the God of Israel.

¹⁶Ary nanorina indray ny alitaran'i Jehovah izy ka namono zavatra hatao fanati-pihavanana sy fanati-pisaorana teo amboniny, dia nandidy ny Joda hanompo an'i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely.

¹⁷Nevertheless, the people sacrificed still on the high places, although to Jehovah their God only.

¹⁷Fa ny olona mbola namono zavatra hatao fanatitra teny amin'ny fitoerana avo ihany, kanefa kosa ho an'i Jehovah Andriamaniny ihany.

¹⁸And the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and his prayer to his God, and the words of the seers that spoke to him in the name of Jehovah the God of Israel, behold, they [are written] in the acts of the kings of Israel.

¹⁸Ary ny tantaran'i Manase sisa mbamin'ny vavaka nataony tamin'Andriamaniny sy ny tenin'ireo mpahita izay niteny taminy tamin'ny anaran'i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely indro, ao amin'ny tantaran'ny mpanjakan'ny Isiraely izany.

¹⁹And his prayer, and [how God] was intreated of him, and all his sin and his unfaithfulness, and the places in which he built high places, and set up Asherahs and graven images, before he was humbled, behold, they are written among the words of Hozai.

¹⁹Ary koa, ny vavaka nataony sy ny naneken'Andriamanitra izany ary ny fahotany sy ny fahadisoany rehetra mbamin'ny fitoerana izay nanorenany fitoerana avo sy nananganany Aseraha sy sarin-javatra voasokitra, fony izy tsy mbola nanetry tena, indro, efa voasoratra ao amin'ny tenin'i Hozay izany.

²⁰And Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they buried him in his own house; and Amon his son reigned in his stead.

²⁰Ary Manase lasa nodi-mandry any amin'ny razany, dia nalevina tao an-tranony; ary Amona zanany no nanjaka nandimby azy.

²¹Amon was twenty-two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned two years in Jerusalem.

²¹Roa amby roa-polo taona Amona, fony izy vao nanjaka, ary roa taona no nanjakany tany Jerosalema.

²²And he did evil in the sight of Jehovah, as Manasseh his father had done; and Amon sacrificed to all the graven images that Manasseh his father had made, and served them.

²²Ary nanao izay ratsy eo imason'i Jehovah tahaka ny nataon'i Manase rainy ihany izy; fa ny sarin-javatra voasokitra rehetra nataon'i Manase rainy dia namonoan'i Amona zavatra hatao fanatitra ka notompoiny;

²³And he did not humble himself before Jehovah, as Manasseh his father had humbled himself; for he, Amon, multiplied trespass.

²³ary tsy nanetry tena teo anatrehan'i Jehovah tahaka ny nataon'i Manase rainy izy, fa mainka nanota bebe kokoa aza.

²⁴And his servants conspired against him, and slew him in his own house.

²⁴Dia nikomy taminy ny mpanompony ka namono azy tao an-tranony.Fa ny vahoaka kosa namono izay rehetra efa nikomy tamin'i Amona mpanjaka, dia nampanjaka an'i Josia zanany hisolo azy.

²⁵But 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.

²⁵Fa ny vahoaka kosa namono izay rehetra efa nikomy tamin'i Amona mpanjaka, dia nampanjaka an'i Josia zanany hisolo azy.
