¹Manase akatanga kubata ushe ava namakore ane gumi namaviri; akabata ushe makore makumi mashanu namashanu paJerusaremu;

¹Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty and five years in Jerusalem:

²akaita zvakaipa pamberi paJehovha, akatevera zvinonyangadza zvavahedheni vakanga vadzingwa naJehovha pamberi pavana vaIsiraeri.

²But did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, like unto the abominations of the heathen, whom the LORD had cast out before the children of Israel.

³nekuti akavakazve matunhu akakwirira, akanga aputswa nababa vake Hezekia; akamutsira vaBhaari aritari, akaisapowo matanda okunamata nawo; akanamata kuhondo dzose dzokudenga, akadzishumira.

³For he built again the high places which Hezekiah his father had broken down, and he reared up altars for Baalim, and made groves, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served them.

⁴Akavaka aritari mumba maJehovha, kunyange Jehovha akati, PaJerusaremu ndipo pachagara zita rangu nokusingaperi.

⁴Also he built altars in the house of the LORD, whereof the LORD had said, In Jerusalem shall my name be for ever.

⁵Akavakira hondo dzose dzokudenga aritari muvazhe mbiri dzeimba yaJehovha.

⁵And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the LORD.

⁶Akapinzawo vana vake mumoto pamupata womwanakomana waHinomi; akatenda mashura, akaita mazango, akabata uroyi, akagadza masvikiro navauki; akaita zvakaipa zvizhinji pamberi paJehovha, ndokumutsamwisa nazvo.

⁶And he caused his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom: also he observed times, and used enchantments, and used witchcraft, and dealt with a familiar spirit, and with wizards: he wrought much evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.

⁷Akaisa mufananidzo wakavezwa wechifananidzo chamwari, chaakanga aveza, mumba maMwari, imo makanga manzi naMwari kuna Dhavhidhi nokunaSoromoni mwanakomana wake, Ndichaisa zita rangu nokusingaperi paimba ino napaJerusaremu, randakatsaura pakati pamarudzi ose aIsiraeri.

⁷And he set a carved image, the idol which 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 before all the tribes of Israel, will I put my name for ever:

⁸Uye handichabvisi tsoka dzaIsiraeri panyika yandakaratidza madzibaba enyu; kana vachichenjerachetekuita zvose zvandakavaraira, murayiro wose, nezvakatemwa, nezvakarairwa naMozisi.

⁸Neither will I any more remove the foot of Israel from out of the land which I have appointed for your fathers; so that they will take heed to do all that I have commanded them, according to the whole law and the statutes and the ordinances by the hand of Moses.

⁹Manase akatsausa vaJudha navakanga vagere Jerusaremu, vakaita zvakaipa kupfuura zvakaitwa nendudzi dzakaparadzwa naJehovha pamberi pavana vaIsiraeri.

⁹So Manasseh made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to err, and to do worse than the heathen, whom the LORD had destroyed before the children of Israel.

¹⁰Jehovha akataura naManase navanhu vake; asi havana kuteerera.

¹⁰And the LORD spake to Manasseh, and to his people: but they would not hearken.

¹¹Saka Jehovha akauyisa vakuru vehondo yamambo weAsiria kuzorwa navo, ivo vakabata Manase nezvikokovonho, vakamusunga namaketani, vakaenda naye Bhabhironi.

¹¹Wherefore the LORD brought upon them the captains of the host of the king of Assyria, which took Manasseh among the thorns, and bound him with fetters, and carried him to Babylon.

¹²Zvino akati ari pakutambudzika kwake, akachema kuna Jehovha Mwari wake, akazvininipisa kwazvo pamberi paJehovha Mwari wamadzibaba ake;

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

¹³akanyengetera kwaari; akamuteerera, akanzwa kukumbira kwake, ndokumudzosera Jerusaremu paushe hwake. Ipapo Manase akaziva kuti Jehovha ndiye Mwari.

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

¹⁴Shure kwaizvozvi wakavaka rusvingo nechokunze kweguta raDhavhidhi, kurutivi rwamavirazuva rweGihoni, mumupata, ipo pavanopinda napo pasuwo rehove; akakomberedza Oferi, akavaka rusvingo rwakakwirira kwazvo; akagadzawo vakuru vanoumhare pamaguta ose akakombwa paJudha.

¹⁴Now after this he built a wall without the city of David, on the west side of Gihon, in the valley, even to the entering in at the fish gate, and compassed about Ophel, and raised it up a very great height, and put captains of war in all the fenced cities of Judah.

¹⁵Akabvisa vamwari vatorwa, nechifananidzo mumba maJehovha, nearitari dzose dzaakanga avaka mugomo reimba yaJehovha, napaJerusaremu, ndokuzvirashira kunze kweguta.

¹⁵And he took away the strange gods, and the idol out of the house of the LORD, and all the altars that he had built in the mount of the house of the LORD, and in Jerusalem, and cast them out of the city.

¹⁶Akavakazve aritari yaJehovha, akabayirapo zvibayiro zvezvipiriso zvokuyananisa, nezvokuvonga, akaraira vaJudha kuti vashumire Jehovha Mwari walsiraeri.

¹⁶And he repaired the altar of the LORD, and sacrificed thereon peace offerings and thank offerings, and commanded Judah to serve the LORD God of Israel.

¹⁷Kunyange zvakadaro vanhu vakaramba vachibayira pamatunhu akakwirira, asi vakabayira Jehovha Mwari wavo chete.

¹⁷Nevertheless the people did sacrifice still in the high places, yet unto the LORD their God only.

¹⁸Zvino mamwe mabasa aManase, nomunyengetero wake kuna Mwari wake, namashoko avaoni vakataura kwaari nezita raJehovha Mwari waIsiraeri, tarirai zvakanyorwa mubhuku yamabasa amadzimambo aIsiraeri.

¹⁸Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and his prayer unto his God, and the words of the seers that spake to him in the name of the LORD God of Israel, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel.

¹⁹Munyengetero wakewo, nokunzwika komunyengetero wake, nezvivi zvake, zvose, nokudarika kwake, nenzvimbo paakavaka matunhu akakwirira napaakaisa matanda okunamata nawo nemifananidzo yakavezwa, achigere kuzvininipisa, tarirai zvakanyorwa pakurondedzera kwaHozai.

¹⁹His prayer also, and how God was intreated of him, and all his sins, and his trespass, and the places wherein he built high places, and set up groves and graven images, before he was humbled: behold, they are written among the sayings of the seers.

²⁰Ipapo Manase akavata namadzibaba ake, vakamuviga mumba make, Amoni mwanakomana wake akamutevera paushe.

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

²¹Amoni akatanga kubata ushe ava namakore makumi maviri namaviri akabata ushe paJerusaremu makore maviri.

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

²²Akaita zvakaipa pamberi paJehovha, sezvakaita Manase baba vake; Amoni akabayira mifananidzo yose yakavezwa, yakanga yaitwa naManase baba vake, akazvishumira.

²²But he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, as did Manasseh his father: for Amon sacrificed unto all the carved images which Manasseh his father had made, and served them;

²³Haana kuzvininipisa pamberi paJehovha, sokuzvininipisa kwaManase baba vake; asi Amoni uyu akaramba achingowedzera kudarika kwake.

²³And humbled not himself before the LORD, as Manasseh his father had humbled himself; but Amon trespassed more and more.

²⁴Varanda vake vakarangana vakamumukira, vakamuuraya mumba make.

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

²⁵Asi vanhu venyika iyo vakazouraya vose vakanga varangana vakamukira mambo Amoni; vanhu venyika iyo vakaita mwanakomana wake Josiya mambo panzvimbo yake.

²⁵But the people of the land slew all them that had conspired against king Amon; and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his stead.
