¹Manase wakatanga kubata ushe ava namakore ane gumi namaviri; akabata ushe makore makumi mashanu namashanu paJerusaremu; zita ramai vake raiva Hefizibha.

¹A son of twelve years [is] Manasseh in his reigning, and fifty and five years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Hephzi-Bah;

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

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

³nekuti wakavakazve matunhu akakwirira, akanga aparadzwa nababa vake Hezekia; akamutsira Bhaari aritari, akaisapo danda rokunamata naro, sezvakaita Ahabhi mambo waIsiraeri; akanamata hondo dzose dzokudenga, akadzishumira.

³and he turneth and buildeth the high places that Hezekiah his father destroyed, and raiseth altars for Baal, and maketh a shrine, as did Ahab king of Israel, and boweth himself to all the host of the heavens, and serveth them.

⁴Akavaka aritari mumba maJehovha, kunyange Jehovha akanga ati, PaJerusaremu ndipo pandichaisa zita rangu.

⁴And he hath built altars in the house of Jehovah, of which Jehovah said, `In Jerusalem I put My name.`

⁵Akavakira hondo dzose dzokudenga aritari muvazhe mbiri dzeimba yaJehovha.

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

⁶Akapinza mwanakomana wake mumoto, akatenda mashura, akaita mazango, akagadza masvikiro navauki; akaita zvakaipa zvizhinji pamberi paJehovha, ndokumutsamwisa nazvo.

⁶and he hath caused his son to pass through fire, and observed clouds, and used enchantment, and dealt with a familiar spirit and wizards; he hath multiplied to do the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah — to provoke to anger.

⁷Akaisa mufananidzo wedanda rokunamata naro raakaveza mumba makanzi naJehovha kuna Dhavhidhi nokuna Soromoni mwanakomana wake, Ndichaisa zita rangu nokusingaperi paimba ino napaJerusaremu, randakazvitsaurira pakati pamarudzi ose aIsiraeri.

⁷And he setteth the graven image of the shrine that he made in the house of which Jehovah 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;

⁸Handichazofambisa-fambisa tsoka dzavaIsiraeri kunze kwenyika yandakapa madzibaba avo; kana vachichenjerachetekuita zvandakavaraira, nomurayiro wose wavakarairwa naMozisi muranda wangu.

⁸and I do not add to cause the foot of Israel to move from the ground that I gave to their fathers, only, if they observe to do according to all that I commanded them, and to all the law that My servant Moses commanded them.`

⁹Asi havana kuteerera; Manase akavatsausa vakaita zvakaipa kupfuura zvakaitwa nendudzi dzakaparadzwa naJehovha pamberi pavana vaIsiraeri.

⁹And they have not hearkened, and Manasseh causeth them to err, to do the evil thing above the nations that Jehovah destroyed from the presence of the sons of Israel.

¹⁰Jehovha akataura navo navaporofita varanda vake, akati,

¹⁰And Jehovah speaketh by the hand of his servants the prophets, saying,

¹¹Manase mambo waJudha zvaakaita zvinonyangadza izvi, akaita zvakaipa kupfuura zvose zvakaitwa navaAmori vakamutangira, akatadzisawo Judha nezvifananidzo zvake.

¹¹`Because that Manasseh king of Judah hath done these abominations — he hath done evil above all that the Amorites have done who [are] before him, and causeth also Judah to sin by his idols;

¹²Naizvozvo zvanzi naJehovha Mwari waIsiraeri, Tarirai, ndichauyisira Jerusaremu naJudha zvakaipa zvikadai, kuti vose vanozvinzwa nzeve dzavo dzichaunga.

¹²therefore thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, Lo, I am bringing in evil on Jerusalem and Judah, that whoever heareth of it, tingle do his two ears.

¹³Ndichayera Jerusaremu norwozi rwandakayera Samaria narwo, uye norwozi rwandakaruramisa imba yaAhabhi narwo; ndichapisika Jerusaremu somunhu unopisika ndiro, unoipisika akaitsindikira.

¹³And I have stretched out over Jerusalem the line of Samaria, and the plummet of the house of Ahab, and wiped Jerusalem as one wipeth the dish — he hath wiped, and hath turned [it] on its face.

¹⁴Ndicharasha vakasara venhaka yangu, ndivaise mumaoko avavengi vavo; vachapedzwa nokuparadzwa navaven.gi vavo vose;

¹⁴`And I have left the remnant of Mine inheritance, and given them into the hand of their enemies, and they have been for a prey and for a spoil to all their enemies,

¹⁵nekuti vakaita zvakaipa pamberi pangu, vakanditsamwisa, kubva pazuva rokubuda kwamadzibaba avo paEgipita kusvikira zuva ranhasi.

¹⁵because that they have done the evil thing in Mine eyes, and are provoking Me to anger from the day that their fathers came out of Egypt, even unto this day.`

¹⁶Manase akateurawo ropa rakawanda risine mhosva, kusvikira azadza Jerusaremu kubva kurutivi rumwe kusvikira kuno rumwe rutivi; zvivi zvake zvaakatadzisa Judha nazvo, achiita zvakaipa pamberi paJehovha, zvisingaverengwi.

¹⁶And also, innocent blood hath Manasseh shed very much, till that he hath filled Jerusalem — mouth to mouth; apart from his sin that he hath caused Judah to sin, to do the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah.

¹⁷Zvino mamwe mabasa aManase, nezvose zvaakaita, nezvivi zvake zvaakaita, hazvina kunyorwa here mubhuku yaMakoronike amadzimambo aJudha?

¹⁷And the rest of the matters of Manasseh, and all that he did, and his sin that he sinned, are they not written on the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Judah?

¹⁸Manase akavata namadzibaba ake, akavigwa mumunda weimba yake, mumunda waUza; Amoni mwanakomana wake akamutevera paushe.

¹⁸And Manasseh lieth with his fathers, and is buried in the garden of his house, in the garden of Uzza, and reign doth Amon his son in his stead.

¹⁹Amoni wakatanga kubata ushe ava namakore makumi maviri namaviri akabata ushe paJerusaremu makore maviri; zita ramai vake rakanga riri Meshuremeti, mukunda waHaruzi weJotibha.

¹⁹A son of twenty and two years [is] Amon in his reigning, and two years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Meshullemeth daughter of Haruz of Jotbah,

²⁰Akaita zvakaipa pamberi paJehovha, sezvakaita Manase baba vake.

²⁰and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, as did Manasseh his father,

²¹Akafamba nenzira yose yakafambwa nababa vake, akashumira zvifananidzo zvakashumirwa nababa vake, akazvinamata;

²¹and walketh in all the way that his father walked in, and serveth the idols that his father served, and boweth himself to them,

²²akasiya Jehovha Mwari wamadzibaba ake, akasafamba nenzira yaJehovha.

²²and forsaketh Jehovah, God of his fathers, and hath not walked in the way of Jehovah.

²³Zvino varanda vaAmoni vakamurangana vakamumukira, vakauraya mambo mumba make.

²³And the servants of Amon conspire against him, and put the king to death in his own house,

²⁴Asi vanhu venyika iyo vakazouraya vose vakarangana vakamukira mambo Amoni; vanhu venyika iyo vakaita mwanakomana wake Josiya mambo panzvimbo yake.

²⁴and 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.

²⁵Zvino mamwe mabasa aAmoni aakaita, hazvina kunyorwa here mubhuku yaMakoronike amadzimambo aJudha?

²⁵And the rest of the matters of Amon that he did, are they not written on the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Judah?

²⁶Akavigwa muhwiro hwake mumunda waUza; Josiya mwanakomana wake akamutevera paushe.

²⁶and [one] burieth him in his burying-place in the garden of Uzza, and reign doth Josiah his son in his stead.
