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. Ary ny anaran-dreniny dia Hefziba.

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.

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

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.

³Fa namboariny indray ny fitoerana avo, izay noravan'i Hezekia rainy, ka nanangana alitara ho an'i Bala izy sady nanao Aseraha, tahaka izay nataon'i Ahaba, mpanjakan'ny Isiraely; ary niankohoka teo anatrehan'izay rehetra eny amin'ny lanitra izy ka nanompo ireny,

³For he built again the high places which Hezekiah his father had destroyed; and he reared up altars for Baal, and made an Asherah, as did Ahab king of Israel, and worshiped all the army of the sky, and served them.

⁴sady nanao alitara tao an-tranon'i Jehovah koa izy, dia tao amin'izay nolazain'i Jehovah hoe: Ao Jerosalema no hasiako ny anarako.

⁴He built altars in the house of Yahweh, of which Yahweh said, “I will put my name in Jerusalem.”

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

⁵He built altars for all the army of the sky in the two courts of the house of Yahweh.

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

⁶He made his son to pass through the fire, and practiced sorcery, and used enchantments, 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.

⁷Ary ny sarin'i Astarta izay nataony dia napetrany tao amin'ny trano nolazain'i Jehovah tamin'i Davida sy Solomona zanany hoe: Ato amin'ity trano ity sy eto Jerosalema, izay nofidiko tamin'ny firenen'Isiraely rehetra, no hasiako ny anarako mandrakizay.

⁷He set the engraved image of Asherah, that he had made, in the house of which Yahweh 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;

⁸Ary tsy hampandeha ny tongotry ny Isiraely intsony hiala amin'ny tany izay nomeko ny razany Aho, raha mba hitandrina ka hanao araka izay rehetra nandidiako azy sy araka ny lalàna rehetra izay nandidian'i Mosesy mpanompoko azy ihany izy.

⁸neither will I cause the feet of Israel to wander any more out of the land which I gave their fathers, if only they will observe to do according to all that I have commanded them, and according to all the law that my servant Moses commanded them.”

⁹Nefa tsy nihaino izy; fa Manase nitaona azy hanao ratsy mihoatra noho ny nataon'ny jentilisa, izay naringan'i Jehovah tsy ho eo anoloan'ny Zanak'Isiraely.

⁹But they didn’t listen: and Manasseh seduced them to do that which is evil more than the nations did whom Yahweh destroyed before the children of Israel.

¹⁰Ary Jehovah nampilaza ny mpaminany mpanompony hoe:

¹⁰Yahweh spoke by his servants the prophets, saying,

¹¹Satria Manase, mpanjakan'ny Joda, nanao izao fahavetavetana izao ka nanao ratsy mihoatra noho izay rehetra nataon'ny Amorita izay teo alohany sady nampanota ny Joda tamin'ny sampiny,

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

¹²dia izao kosa no lazain'i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely: Indro, hahatonga loza amin'i Jerosalema sy ny Joda Aho, ka izay rehetra mandre izany dia hangintsingintsina ny sofiny roa.

¹²therefore thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, ‘Behold, I bring such evil on Jerusalem and Judah, that whoever hears of it, both his ears shall tingle.

¹³Ary hohenjaniko ato Jerosalema ny famolainan'i Samaria sy ny pilaon'ny taranak'i Ahaba; ary hamaoka an'i Jerosalema Aho, toy ny olona mamaoka lovia ka sady mamaoka no manohoka azy koa.

¹³I will stretch over Jerusalem the line of Samaria, and the plummet of the house of Ahab; and I will wipe Jerusalem as a man wipes a dish, wiping it and turning it upside down.

¹⁴Ary hafoiko ny lovako sisa ka hatolotro ho eo an-tànan'ny fahavalony; dia ho sambotra sy ho babon'ny fahavalony rehetra izy,

¹⁴I will cast off the remnant of my inheritance, and deliver them into the hand of their enemies. They will become a prey and a spoil to all their enemies;

¹⁵satria efa nanao izay ratsy eo imasoko izy ka nampahatezitra Ahy hatramin'ny andro nivoahan'ny razany avy any Egypta ka mandraka androany.

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

¹⁶Ary na dia ny rà marina aza dia nalatsak'i Manase be dia be mandra-pamenony an'i Jerosalema rehetra, ho fanampin'ny ota izay nampanotany ny Joda tamin'ny nanaovany izay ratsy eo imason'i Jehovah.

¹⁶Moreover Manasseh shed innocent blood very much, until he had filled Jerusalem from one end to another; besides his sin with which he made Judah to sin, in doing that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh.

¹⁷Ary ny tantaran'i Manase sisa mbamin'izay rehetra nataony sy ny fahotana izay nataony, tsy efa voasoratra ao amin'ny bokin'ny tantaran'ny mpanjakan'ny Joda va izany?

¹⁷Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and all that he did, and his sin that he sinned, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

¹⁸Ary Manase lasa nodi-mandry any amin'ny razany, dia nalevina teo an-tanimboly eo ala-tranony amin'ny sahan'i Oza; ary Amona zanany no nanjaka nandimby azy.

¹⁸Manasseh 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 place.

¹⁹Roa amby roa-polo taona Amona, fony izy vao nanjaka, ary roa taona no nanjakany tany Jerosalema, Ary ny anaran-dreniny dia Mesolemeta, zanakavavin'i Haroza, avy any Jotba.

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 the daughter of Haruz of Jotbah.

²⁰Ary nanao izay ratsy eo imason'i Jehovah koa izy tahaka ny nataon'i Manase rainy.

²⁰He did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, as Manasseh his father did.

²¹Fa nandeha tamin'ny lalana rehetra izay efa nalehan-drainy izy ka nanompo ny sampy izay notompoin-drainy sady niankohoka teo anatrehany.

²¹He walked in all the way that his father walked in, and served the idols that his father served, and worshiped them:

²²Ary nahafoy an'i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny razany, izy, fa tsy nandeha tamin'ny lalan'i Jehovah.

²²and he forsook Yahweh, the God of his fathers, and didn’t walk in the way of Yahweh.

²³Ary ny mpanompon'i Amona mpanjaka nikomy taminy ka namono azy tao an-tranony.

²³The servants of Amon conspired against him, and put the king to death in his own house.

²⁴Ary ny vahoaka namono izay rehetra nikomy tamin'i Amona mpanjaka, dia nampanjaka an'i Josia zanany hisolo azy.

²⁴But 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.

²⁵Ary ny tantaran'i Amona sisa, tsy efa voasoratra ao amin'ny bokin'ny tantaran'ny mpanjakan'ny Joda va izany?Ary nalevina tao amin'ny fasany tao amin'ny sahan'i Oza izy; ary Josia zanany no nanjaka nandimby azy.

²⁵Now the rest of the acts of Amon which he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

²⁶Ary nalevina tao amin'ny fasany tao amin'ny sahan'i Oza izy; ary Josia zanany no nanjaka nandimby azy.

²⁶He was buried in his tomb in the garden of Uzza: and Josiah his son reigned in his place.
