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

¹Manasi bel a lal pattungin kum sawm leh kum nih ahi a; Jerusalem ah kum sawmnga leh kum nga a lal.

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.

²Huan, TOUPA mitmuha thil hoihlou, Israel suante maa TOUPAN a delhkhiak Pathian theilou namten thil kihhuai tak ahih bang uh aman leng a hih tei sek a.

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.

³A pa hezekiain a hihchip nung mun sangte a bawl phaa, Baal te adingin maitam a bawl a, Aser limte a bawl a, van a om teng teng a biaa, a na uh a sem hi.

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

⁴Huan, jerusalem ah khantawnin ka min a om ding, TOUPAN a chihna TOUPA in ah maitamte a bawla.

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

⁵TOUPA in huangsung intual nih ah vana om tengteng adingin maitamte a bawla.

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.

⁶Hinom tapa guamah meiah a tate a lutsaka; aisan te a chinga, bum te a chinga, dawi aisan siam jawlte leh bumsiamte a guai seka; TOUPA mitmuha thil hoih lou a hehsak dingin a hih sek hi.

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:

⁷Huan Pathianin David leh a tapa solomon kianga, Hiai in leh jerusalem khua a Israel chi tengteng laka ka talah ka min khantawnin ka omsak ding, a nachihkhitsa Pathian in ah amah bawl, milim bawl tawm a koiha:

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.”

⁸Thu ka piak tengteng leh dan tengteng, thuseh, thilhih ding mosi zanga ka piakte a zuih peuhmah uleh a pi leh pute uh ka piaksa gam akipan Israelte khe ka kalsuan khesak nawn kei ding, a chihna ah.

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.

⁹Huan, Manasiin Judate leh Jerusalema mite thil a hihkhialsaka; huchi in TOUPAN Israelte maa a hihman khitsa namte sangin thil a hihkhial jaw hi.

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

¹⁰Huan, TOUPAN Manasi leh a mite kiangah thu a gen jela; himahleh a limsak kei uh.

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.

¹¹Huaijiakin TOUPAN Assuria sepaih heutute a sawla, Manasi khainiangin a khih ua, Kol a bun sak ua, Babulon ah a paipihta uh.

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

¹²Huan, mangbang taka a om laiin TOUPA a Pathian a zonga, a pi leh pute Pathian maah nakpi takin a kiniamkhiaka.

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.

¹³A kiangah a thuma, hehpih a loha, a ngetna a ngaihkhiak saka, Jerusalemah a gamah a pi nawnta.

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.

¹⁴Huan, huai nungin David kho po lamah Gihon tumlam pang guamah ngasa kongkhak lutna phain kulh a bawla, Ophel umsuakin sangpiin a dingsaka: huan, Juda khua kulh nei tengtengah heutu hangsan taktak a koih hi.

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.

¹⁵Huan, gam dang pathiante leh milim te, TOUPA in akipan a paimanga, huan, TOUPA in mual leh Jerusalema maitam a bawl tengtengte khua akipan a pai vek uh.

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.

¹⁶Huan, TOUPA maitam a bawla, lemna thillat kithoihna te, kipahthu gennate a lana, Judate bel TOUPA Israelte Pathian na sem dingin thu a pia a.

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

¹⁷Mipite mun sangah a kithoih lailai ua; himahleh TOUPA a Pathian uh kiangah kia ahi zota.

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.

¹⁸Manasi tanchin dang tengteng, a Pathian kianga a thum thu te, TOUPA Israelte Pathian mina jawlneiin a kianga thu a gen te uh ngai dih, Israel kumpipate tanchin lakah a tuang hi.

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.

¹⁹A thumna te leh Pathianin a hehpihna leh a kiniamkhiak maa a gitlouhna tengteng leh mun sang a bawla Aser leh milim bawl tawm a bawlkhiakna mun tengteng leng ngai dih, Hozai tanchin gelhna bu ah a tuang vek ahi.

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

²⁰Huchiin Manasi bel a pi leh pute kiangah a ihmu a, amah in ah a vui ua; huan, a tapa Amon a sikin a lalta hi.

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

²¹Amon bel a lal pattungin kum sawmnih leh kum nih ahi a; Jerusalem a kum nih alal.

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.

²²A pa Manasi hih bang mahin TOUPA mitmuhin thil hoih lou a hiha; a pa Manasiin a bawl milim bawl tawm tengteng kiangah Amon a kithoiha, a sema.

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

²³A pa Manasi kiniamkhiak bangin TOUPA maah a kiniamkhiak tei keia. Amon a gilou semsem maimah.

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

²⁴Huan, a sikhaten a sawm ua, amah in ah a hihlum uhi.Himahleh Amon sawmmi tengteng mipiin a that vek nawn ua; huan, mipiten a tapa Josia a sikin kumpipa dingin a bawlta uhi.

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.

²⁵Himahleh Amon sawmmi tengteng mipiin a that vek nawn ua; huan, mipiten a tapa Josia a sikin kumpipa dingin a bawlta uhi.
