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

¹Manasses mal dvanásť rokov, keď začal kraľovať, a kraľoval päťdesiatpäť rokov v Jeruzaleme. A meno jeho matky bolo Chefcíba.

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.

²A robil to, čo je zlé v očiach Hospodinových, podľa ohavností národov, ktoré vyhnal Hospodin zpred tvári synov Izraelových.

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 worshiped all the army of the sky, and served them.

³Lebo zase vystavil výšiny, ktoré bol skazil Ezechiáš, jeho otec, a postavil oltáre Bálovi a spravil háj, ako bol spravil Achab, izraelský kráľ, a klaňal sa všetkému vojsku nebeskému a slúžil im.

⁴He built altars in the house of Yahweh, of which Yahweh said, “I will put my name in Jerusalem.”

⁴A vystavil oltáre v dome Hospodinovom, o ktorom povedal Hospodin: V Jeruzaleme položím svoje meno.

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

⁵A vystavil oltáre všetkému vojsku nebeskému, v oboch nádvoriach domu Hospodinovho.

⁶He made his son to pass through the fire, and practiced sorcery, and used enchantments, 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.

⁶Aj previedol svojho syna cez oheň a planetáril a veštil a nadovážil si duchárov, ktorí vyvolávali duchov, a vedomcov a robil mnoho takého, čo je zlé v očiach Hospodinových, aby ho popudzoval.

⁷He set the engraved image of Asherah, that he had made, in the house of which Yahweh 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;

⁷K tomu ešte postavil aj rytinu hája, ktorú spravil, v dome, o ktorom povedal Hospodin Dávidovi a Šalamúnovi, jeho synovi: V tomto dome a v Jeruzaleme, ktorý som si vyvolil zpomedzi všetkých pokolení Izraelových, položím svoje meno, aby tam bolo až na veky.

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.”

⁸A neučiním toho viacej, aby som dal, že by sa túlala noha Izraelova zo zeme, ktorú som dal ich otcom, ak len budú pozorovať, aby robili podľa všetkého toho, čo som im prikázal, a všetok zákon, ktorý im prikázal môj služobník Mojžiš.

⁹But they didn’t listen: and Manasseh seduced them to do that which is evil more than the nations did whom Yahweh destroyed before the children of Israel.

⁹Ale neposlúchali, a Manasses ich zaviedol, aby robili zlé, a horšie ako národy, ktoré zahladil Hospodin zpred tvári synov Izraelových.

¹⁰Yahweh spoke by his servants the prophets, saying,

¹⁰A Hospodin hovoril skrze svojich služobníkov prorokov a riekol:

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

¹¹Pretože páchal Manasses, judský kráľ, tie ohavnosti a robil horšie od všetkého toho, čo robili Amoreji, ktorí boli pred ním, a spôsobil to, aby hrešil i Júda, svojimi ukydanými bohy,

¹²therefore thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, ‘Behold, I bring such evil on Jerusalem and Judah, that whoever hears of it, both his ears shall tingle.

¹²preto takto hovorí Hospodin, Bôh Izraelov: Hľa, uvediem zlé na Jeruzalem a na Júdu, takže každému, kto to počuje, bude hučať v oboch ušiach.

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

¹³A roztiahnem na Jeruzalem merné lano Samárie a použijem závažia domu Achabovho a vytriem Jeruzalem, ako niekto vytrie misu, vytrie a obráti ju hore dnom.

¹⁴I will cast off the remnant of my inheritance, and deliver them into the hand of their enemies. They will become a prey and a spoil to all their enemies;

¹⁴A ta odvrhnem ostatok svojho dedičstva a vydám ich do ruky ich nepriateľov, a budú za lúpež a na rozchvátanie všetkým svojim nepriateľom,

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 to this day.’”

¹⁵pretože robili to, čo je zlé v mojich očiach, a popudzovali ma hneď od toho dňa, ktorého vyšli ich otcovia z Egypta, a tak až do tohoto dňa.

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

¹⁶Ba ešte aj nevinnej krvi navylieval Manasses veľmi mnoho, takže ňou naplnil Jeruzalem od jedného konca po druhý, krome svojho hriechu, ktorým spôsobil to, aby hrešil Júda, aby robil to, čo je zlé v očiach Hospodinových.

¹⁷Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and all that he did, and his sin that he sinned, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

¹⁷A ostatné deje Manassesove a všetko, čo robil, i jeho hriech, ktorým hrešil, či nie je to napísané v knihe letopisov kráľov Júdových?

¹⁸Manasseh 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 place.

¹⁸A tak ľahol Manasses a ležal so svojimi otcami a bol pochovaný v zahrade svojho domu, v zahrade Uzu, a kraľoval Amon, jeho syn, miesto neho.

¹⁹Amon was twenty-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.

¹⁹Amon mal dvadsaťdva rokov, keď začal kraľovať, a kraľoval dva roky v Jeruzaleme. A meno jeho matky bolo Mešullemeť, dcéra Charúca z Jotby.

²⁰He did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, as Manasseh his father did.

²⁰A robil to, čo je zlé v očiach Hospodinových, ako robil Manasses, jeho otec,

²¹He walked in all the way that his father walked in, and served the idols that his father served, and worshiped them:

²¹a chodil po každej ceste, po ktorej chodil jeho otec, a slúžil ukydaným bohom, ktorým slúžil jeho otec, a klaňal sa im.

²²and he forsook Yahweh, the God of his fathers, and didn’t walk in the way of Yahweh.

²²A opustil Hospodina, Boha svojich otcov, a nechodil po ceste Hospodinovej.

²³The servants of Amon conspired against him, and put the king to death in his own house.

²³A služobníci Amonovi sa sprisahali proti nemu a zabili kráľa v jeho dome.

²⁴But 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.

²⁴A zase ľud zeme pobil všetkých tých, ktorí sa boli sprisahali proti kráľovi Amonovi, a ľud zeme urobil kráľom Joziáša, jeho syna, miesto neho.

²⁵Now the rest of the acts of Amon which he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

²⁵Ostatné deje Amonove, to, čo robil, či nie je to napísané v knihe letopisov kráľov Júdových?

²⁶He was buried in his tomb in the garden of Uzza: and Josiah his son reigned in his place.

²⁶A pochovali ho v jeho hrobe, v zahrade Uzu. A kraľoval Joziáš, jeho syn, miesto neho.
