¹Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign; and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem.

¹Manašeu je bilo dvanaest godina kad se zakraljio. Pedeset i pet godina kraljevao je u Jeruzalemu.

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.

²Činio je što je zlo u Jahvinim očima, povodeći se za gnusobama naroda što ih je Jahve protjerao pred sinovima Izraelovim.

³For he built again the high places which Hezekiah his father had broken down; and he reared up altars for the Baals, and made Asheroth, and worshiped all the army of the sky, and served them.

³Obnovio je uzvišice što ih bijaše oborio otac mu Ezekija, podigao je žrtvenike Baalu, načinio ašere i stao se klanjati svoj nebeskoj vojsci i služiti joj.

⁴He built altars in the house of Yahweh, of which Yahweh said, “My name shall be in Jerusalem forever.”

⁴Podigao je žrtvenike i u Domu Jahvinu, za koji bijaše rekao Jahve: "U Jeruzalemu će prebivati Ime moje zauvijek."

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

⁵Sagradio je žrtvenike svoj nebeskoj vojsci u oba predvorja Doma Jahvina.

⁶He also made his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom; and he practiced sorcery, and used enchantments, and practiced sorcery, 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.

⁶I sinove je svoje proveo kroz oganj u dolini Hinomova sina. Vračao je, gatao, čarao, stvorio bajače i opsjenare i uopće učinio premnogo zla u Jahvinim očima razjarujući ga.

⁷He set the engraved image of the idol, which he had made, in God’s house, of which God 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:

⁷Načinio je idolski lik i posadio ga u Domu Božjem, za koji Bog bijaše rekao Davidu i njegovu sinu Salomonu: "U ovom Domu i u Jeruzalemu, koji sam izabrao među svim izraelskim plemenima, postavit ću Ime svoje zauvijek.

⁸neither will I any more remove the foot of Israel from off the land which I have appointed for your fathers, if only they will observe to do all that I have commanded them, even all the law and the statutes and the ordinances given by Moses.”

⁸Neću više dati da noga Izraelaca uzmakne iz zemlje koju sam dao u baštinu vašim očevima, samo ako budu držali i provodili u djelo sve što sam im zapovjedio: sav Zakon, uredbe i običaje dane preko Mojsija."

⁹Manasseh seduced Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that they did more evil than the nations whom Yahweh destroyed before the children of Israel did.

⁹Ali je Manaše zaveo Judejce i Jeruzalemce te su radili još gore nego narodi što ih je Jahve iskorijenio pred sinovima Izraelovim.

¹⁰Yahweh spoke to Manasseh, and to his people; but they gave no heed.

¹⁰Jahve je opominjao Manašea i njegov narod, ali oni nisu poslušali.

¹¹Therefore Yahweh brought on them the captains of the army of the king of Assyria, who took Manasseh in chains, and bound him with fetters, and carried him to Babylon.

¹¹Stoga je Jahve doveo na njih vojskovođe asirskoga kralja. Uhvativši Manašea kukama, svezali su ga u dvoje mjedene verige i odveli u Babilon.

¹²When he was in distress, he begged Yahweh his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers.

¹²Kad se našao u nevolji, počeo se moliti za milost Jahvi, svome Bogu, ponizivši se veoma pred Bogom otaca.

¹³He prayed to him; and he was entreated by him, and heard his supplication, and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that Yahweh was God.

¹³Molio se i Bog mu se smilovao te usliša njegovu prošnju i vrati ga u Jeruzalem u kraljevstvo. Manaše tada spozna da je Jahve Bog.

¹⁴Now after this he built an outer wall to the city of David, on the west side of Gihon, in the valley, even to the entrance at the fish gate; and he encircled Ophel with it, and raised it up to a very great height: and he put valiant captains in all the fortified cities of Judah.

¹⁴Poslije toga sagradio je vanjski zid Davidovu gradu zapadno od Gihona, od doline pa do Ribljih vrata, i opasao zidom Ofel, izvevši ga vrlo visoko. Postavio je bojne vojvode u svim tvrdim gradovima u Judi.

¹⁵He took away the foreign gods, and the idol out of the house of Yahweh, and all the altars that he had built in the mountain of the house of Yahweh, and in Jerusalem, and cast them out of the city.

¹⁵Osim toga, uklonio je iz Jahvina Doma tuđinske bogove, onaj idolski lik i sve žrtvenike što ih bijaše posagradio na gori Jahvina Doma i u Jeruzalemu i sve ih baci izvan grada.

¹⁶He built up the altar of Yahweh, and offered thereon sacrifices of peace offerings and of thanksgiving, and commanded Judah to serve Yahweh, the God of Israel.

¹⁶Zatim opet podiže Jahvin žrtvenik i žrtvova na njemu žrtve pričesnice i zahvalnice. Zapovjedi i Judejcima da služe Jahvi, Bogu Izraelovu.

¹⁷Nevertheless the people sacrificed still in the high places, but only to Yahweh their God.

¹⁷Ipak je narod još žrtvovao po uzvišicama, ali samo Jahvi, svojem Bogu.

¹⁸Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and his prayer to his God, and the words of the seers who spoke to him in the name of Yahweh, the God of Israel, behold, they are written among the acts of the kings of Israel.

¹⁸Ostala Manašeova djela i njegova molitva Bogu, riječi koje su mu govorili vidioci u ime Jahve, Izraelova Boga, zapisane su u Povijesti izraelskih kraljeva.

¹⁹His prayer also, and how God was entreated of him, and all his sin and his trespass, and the places in which he built high places, and set up the Asherim and the engraved images, before he humbled himself: behold, they are written in the history of Hozai.

¹⁹Njegova molitva i kako je bio uslišan, svi njegovi grijesi i njegova nevjera te mjesta na kojima je pogradio uzvišice, podigao ašere i idole prije nego što se ponizio - sve je to zapisano u povijesti Hozajevoj.

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

²⁰Tada Manaše počinu kraj svojih otaca. Sahranili su ga u dvoru. Na njegovo se mjesto zakraljio sim mu Amon.

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

²¹Dvadeset su i dvije godine bile Amonu kad se zakraljio, a kraljevao je dvije godine u Jeruzalemu.

²²He did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, as did Manasseh his father; and Amon sacrificed to all the engraved images which Manasseh his father had made, and served them.

²²Činio je što je zlo u Jahvinim očima, kao i otac mu Manaše, jer je svim idolima koje bijaše načinio njegov otac Manaše on prinosio žrtve i služio im.

²³He didn’t humble himself before Yahweh, as Manasseh his father had humbled himself; but this same Amon trespassed more and more.

²³Ali se nije ponizio pred Jahvom kako se ponizio otac mu Manaše, nego je još i umnožio svoju krivicu.

²⁴His servants conspired against him, and put him to death in his own house.

²⁴Tada se protiv njega urotiše njegove sluge i ubiše ga u dvoru.

²⁵But 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.

²⁵Ali je prosti puk pobio sve one koji se bijahu urotili protiv kralja Amona i na njegovo mjesto zakraljio sina mu Jošiju.
