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

¹A son of twelve years is Manasseh in his reigning, and fifty and five years he hath reigned in Jerusalem;

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

²and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, like the abominations of the nations that Jehovah dispossessed from the presence of the sons of Israel,

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.

³and he turneth and buildeth the high places that Hezekiah his father hath broken down, and raiseth altars for Baalim, and maketh shrines, and boweth himself to all the host of the heavens, and serveth them.

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

⁴And he hath built altars in the house of Jehovah of which Jehovah had said, `In Jerusalem is My name to the age.'

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

⁵And he buildeth altars to all the host of the heavens in the two courts of the house of Jehovah.

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.

⁶And he hath caused his sons to pass over through fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom, and observed clouds and used enchantments and witchcraft, and dealt with a familiar spirit, and a wizard; he hath multiplied to do the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, to provoke him to anger.

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.

⁷And he placeth the graven image of the idol that he made in the house of God, of which God said unto David, and unto Solomon his son, `In this house, and in Jerusalem that I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, I put My name to the age,

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.

⁸and I add not to turn aside the foot of Israel from off the ground that I appointed to your fathers, only, if they watch to do all that I have commanded them -- to all the law, and the statutes, and the ordinances by the hand of Moses.'

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

⁹And Manasseh maketh Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to err, to do evil above the nations that Jehovah destroyed from the presence of the sons of Israel.

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

¹⁰And Jehovah speaketh unto Manasseh and unto his people, and they have not attended,

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

¹¹and Jehovah bringeth in against them the heads of the host that the king of Asshur hath, and they capture Manasseh among the thickets, and bind him with brazen fetters, and cause him to go to Babylon.

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

¹²And when he is in distress he hath appeased the face of Jehovah his God, and is humbled exceedingly before the God of his fathers,

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.

¹³and prayeth unto Him, and He is entreated of him, and heareth his supplication, and bringeth him back to Jerusalem, to his kingdom, and Manasseh knoweth that Jehovah -- He [is] God.

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.

¹⁴And after this he hath built an outer wall to the city of David, on the west of Gihon, in the valley, and at the entering in at the fish-gate, and it hath gone round to the tower, and he maketh it exceeding high, and he putteth heads of the force in all the cities of the bulwarks in Judah.

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.

¹⁵And he turneth aside the gods of the stranger, and the idol, out of the house of Jehovah, and all the altars that he had built in the mount of the house of Jehovah and in Jerusalem, and casteth [them] to the outside of the city.

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

¹⁶And he buildeth the altar of Jehovah, and sacrificeth upon it sacrifices of peace-offerings and thank-offering, and saith to Judah to serve Jehovah, God of Israel;

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

¹⁷but still the people are sacrificing in high places, only -- to Jehovah their God.

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.

¹⁸And the rest of the matters of Manasseh, and his prayer unto his God, and the matters of the seers, those speaking unto him in the name of Jehovah, God of Israel, lo, they are [on the book of] the matters of the kings of Israel;

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.

¹⁹and his prayer, and his entreaty, and all his sin, and his trespass, and the places in which he had built high places, and established the shrines and the graven images before his being humbled, lo, they are written beside the matters of Hozai.

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

²⁰And Manasseh lieth with his fathers, and they bury him in his own house, and reign doth Amon his son in his stead.

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

²¹A son of twenty and two years [is] Amon in his reigning, and two years he hath reigned in Jerusalem,

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.

²²and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, as did Manasseh his father, and to all the graven images that Manasseh his father had made hath Amon sacrificed, and serveth them,

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

²³and hath not been humbled before Jehovah, like the humbling of Manasseh his father, for Amon himself hath multiplied guilt.

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

²⁴And his servants conspire against him, and put him to death in his own house,

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

²⁵and the people of the land smite all those conspiring against king Amon, and the people of the land cause Josiah his son to reign in his stead.
