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

¹Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign; and he reigned five and fifty years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Hephzibah.

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

²And he did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, after the abominations of the nations whom Jehovah cast out before the children 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.

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 worshipped all the host of heaven, and served them.

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

⁴And he built altars in the house of Jehovah, whereof Jehovah said, In Jerusalem will I put my name.

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 Jehovah.

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

⁶And he made his son to pass through the fire, and practised augury, and used enchantments, and dealt with them that had familiar spirits, and with wizards: he wrought much evil in the sight of Jehovah, to provoke him 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 set the graven image of Asherah, that he had made, in the house of which Jehovah 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;

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

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.

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

⁹But they hearkened not: and Manasseh seduced them to do that which is evil more than did the nations whom Jehovah destroyed before the children of Israel.

¹⁰Jehovha akataura navo navaporofita varanda vake, akati,

¹⁰And Jehovah spake by his servants the prophets, saying,

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

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

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

¹²therefore thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, Behold, I bring such evil upon Jerusalem and Judah, that whosoever heareth of it, both his ears shall tingle.

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

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

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

¹⁴And I will cast off the remnant of mine inheritance, and deliver them into the hand of their enemies; and they shall become a prey and a spoil to all their enemies;

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

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 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.

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

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

¹⁷Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and all that he did, and his sin that he sinned, are they not written in 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 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 stead.

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

¹⁹Amon was twenty and 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.

²⁰Akaita zvakaipa pamberi paJehovha, sezvakaita Manase baba vake.

²⁰And he did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, as did Manasseh his father.

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

²¹And he walked in all the way that his father walked in, and served the idols that his father served, and worshipped them:

²²akasiya Jehovha Mwari wamadzibaba ake, akasafamba nenzira yaJehovha.

²²and he forsook Jehovah, the God of his fathers, and walked not in the way of Jehovah.

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

²³And the servants of Amon conspired 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.

²⁴But 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.

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

²⁵Now the rest of the acts of Amon which he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

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

²⁶And he was buried in his sepulchre in the garden of Uzza: and Josiah his son reigned in his stead.
