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

¹Manasses mal dvanásť rokov, keď začal kraľovať, a kraľoval päťdesiatpäť rokov v Jeruzaleme.

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.

²A robil to, čo je zlé v očiach Hospodinových, podľa ohavností národov, ktoré vyhnal Hospodin zpred tvári synov Izraelových.

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.

³Lebo zase vystavil výšiny, ktoré bol rozboril Ezechiáš, jeho otec, a postavil oltáre Bálom a narobil hájov a klaňal sa všetkému vojsku nebeskému a slúžil im.

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

⁴A vystavil oltáre aj v dome Hospodinovom, o ktorom povedal Hospodin: V Jeruzaleme bude moje meno na veky.

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

⁵A nastaväl oltárov všetkému vojsku nebeskému v oboch dvoroch domu Hospodinovho.

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.

⁶A on sám dal previesť svojich synov cez oheň v údolí syna Hinnoma a planetáril, veštil a čaril a nadovážil si duchárov a vedomcov robiac mnoho takéto, čo je zlé v očiach Hospodinových, aby ho popudzoval.

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;

⁷Postavil aj rytý obraz modly z kameňa, ktorý spravil, v dome Božom, o ktorom povedal Bôh Dávidovi a Šalamúnovi, jeho synovi: V tomto dome a v Jeruzaleme, ktorý som vyvolil zpomedzi všetkých pokolení Izraelových, položím svoje meno, aby tam bolo až na veky.

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.

⁸A neučiním toho viacej, aby som dal uhnúť nohe Izraelovej preč zo zeme, ktorú som osobitne postavil pre vašich otcov, len ak budú pozorovať, aby činili všetko to, čo som im prikázal, celý zákon a ustanovenia a súdy, vydané skrze Mojžiša.

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.

⁹Ale Manasses zaviedol Júdu a obyvateľov Jeruzalema do bludu, aby robili horšie ako národy, ktoré vyhladil Hospodin zpred tvári synov Izraelových.

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

¹⁰A Hospodin hovoril Manassesovi a jeho ľudu, ale nepozorovali.

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.

¹¹Preto doviedol na nich Hospodin veliteľov vojska assýrskeho kráľa, ktorí jali Manassesa na tŕne a poviažuc ho dvoma medenými reťazami odviedli ho do Babylona.

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

¹²No, keď bol sovrený, ponižoval sa a krotil tvár Hospodina, svojho Boha, a veľmi sa koril pred Bohom svojich otcov.

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.

¹³A modlil sa mu. A Bôh sa mu dal uprosiť a vyslyšal jeho pokornú prosbu a doviedol ho zpät do Jeruzalema do jeho kráľovstva. A tak poznal Manasses, že on, Hospodin, je Bohom.

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.

¹⁴Potom vystavil vonkajší múr mesta Dávidovho na západ od Gichona, v údolí, a jako sa ide k Rybej bráne, a obohnal múrom Ofel a vyhnal ho, múr, veľmi vysoko. A postavil veliteľov vojska do všetkých miest ohradených v Judsku.

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.

¹⁵A odstránil cudzích bohov aj kamenný obraz modly z domu Hospodinovho i všetky oltáre, ktoré bol vystavil na vrchu domu Hospodinovho a v Jeruzaleme, a vyhádzal to von za mesto.

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.

¹⁶Potom vystavil oltár Hospodinov a obetoval na ňom pokojné obeti bitné a obeti chvály a rozkázal Júdovi, aby slúžili Hospodinovi, Bohu Izraelovmu.

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

¹⁷Avšak ľud ešte vždy obetoval na výšinách, len že Hospodinovi, svojmu Bohu.

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.

¹⁸A ostatné deje Manassesove a jeho modlitba k jeho Bohu jako i slová vidiacich, ktorí mu hovorievali v mene Hospodina, Boha Izraelovho, to hľa, je napísané v dejinách kráľov Izraelových.

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.

¹⁹A jeho modlitba, a jako sa mu dal Bôh uprosiť, a všetky jeho hriechy i jeho prestúpenie i miesta, na ktorých bol vystavil výšiny, a kde bol postavil háje a rytiny, prv ako sa pokoril, to hľa, je napísané v dejinách Chozaiho.

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

²⁰A tak ľahol Manasses a ležal so svojimi otcami, a pochovali ho v jeho dome. A kraľoval Amon, jeho syn, miesto neho.

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

²¹Amon mal dvadsaťdva rokov, keď začal kraľovať, a kraľoval dva roky v Jeruzaleme.

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.

²²Robil to, čo je zlé v očiach Hospodinových, ako bol robil Manasses, jeho otec, lebo Amon obetoval všetkým rytinám, ktorých bol narobil Manasses, jeho otec, a slúžil im.

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

²³Nepokoril sa pred Hospodinom, ako sa pokoril Manasses, jeho otec, lebo on, Amon, hrešil o mnoho viac.

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

²⁴A sprisahali sa proti nemu jeho služobníci a zabili ho v jeho dome.

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.

²⁵A zase ľud zeme pobil všetkých tých, ktorí sa sprisahali proti kráľovi Amonovi, a ľud zeme urobil kráľom Joziáša, jeho syna, miesto neho.
