اَلْمُلُوكِ ٱلثَّانِي 21

١ 1 كَانَ مَنَسَّى ٱبْنَ ٱثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً حِينَ مَلَكَ، وَمَلَكَ خَمْسًا وَخَمْسِينَ سَنَةً فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَٱسْمُ أُمِّهِ حَفْصِيبَةُ.

Manasseh was twelue yeere olde when he began to reigne, and reigned fiftie and fiue yeere in Ierusalem: his mothers name also was Hephzi-bah.

٢ 2 وَعَمِلَ ٱلشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ حَسَبَ رَجَاسَاتِ ٱلْأُمَمِ ٱلَّذِينَ طَرَدَهُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ مِنْ أَمَامِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.

And he did euill in the sight of the Lord after the abomination of the heathen, whom the Lord had cast out before the children of Israel.

٣ 3 وَعَادَ فَبَنَى ٱلْمُرْتَفَعَاتِ ٱلَّتِي أَبَادَهَا حَزَقِيَّا أَبُوهُ، وَأَقَامَ مَذَابِحَ لِلْبَعْلِ، وَعَمِلَ سَارِيَةً كَمَا عَمِلَ أَخْآبُ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَسَجَدَ لِكُلِّ جُنْدِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ وَعَبَدَهَا.

For he went backe and built the hie places, which Hezekiah his father had destroyed: and he erected vp altars for Baal, and made a groue, as did Ahab King of Israel, and worshipped all the hoste of heauen and serued them.

٤ 4 وَبَنَى مَذَابِحَ فِي بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّذِي قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ عَنْهُ: «فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ أَضَعُ ٱسْمِي».

Also he built altars in the house of the Lord, of the which the Lord saide, In Ierusalem will I put my Name.

٥ 5 وَبَنَى مَذَابِحَ لِكُلِّ جُنْدِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ فِي دَارَيْ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ.

And he built altars for al the hoste of ye heauen in the two courtes of the house of the Lord.

٦ 6 وَعَبَّرَ ٱبْنَهُ فِي ٱلنَّارِ، وَعَافَ وَتَفَاءَلَ وَٱسْتَخْدَمَ جَانًّا وَتَوَابِعَ، وَأَكْثَرَ عَمَلَ ٱلشَّرِّ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ لِإِغَاظَتِهِ.

And he caused his sonnes to passe through the fire, and gaue him selfe to witchcraft and sorcerie, and he vsed them that had familiar spirits and were soothsayers, and did much euill in the sight of the Lord to anger him.

٧ 7 وَوَضَعَ تِمْثَالَ ٱلسَّارِيَةِ ٱلَّتِي عَمِلَ، فِي ٱلْبَيْتِ ٱلَّذِي قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ عَنْهُ لِدَاوُدَ وَسُلَيْمَانَ ٱبْنِهِ: «فِي هَذَا ٱلْبَيْتِ وَفِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، ٱلَّتِي ٱخْتَرْتُ مِنْ جَمِيعِ أَسْبَاطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، أَضَعُ ٱسْمِي إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ.

And he set the image of the groue, that he had made, in the house, whereof ye Lord had saide to Dauid and to Salomon his sonne, In this house and in Ierusalem, which I haue chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, will I put my Name for euer.

٨ 8 وَلَا أَعُودُ أُزَحْزِحُ رِجْلَ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَيْتُ لِآبَائِهِمْ، وَذَلِكَ إِذَا حَفِظُوا وَعَمِلُوا حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا أَوْصَيْتُهُمْ بِهِ، وَكُلَّ ٱلشَّرِيعَةِ ٱلَّتِي أَمَرَهُمْ بِهَا عَبْدِي مُوسَى».

Neither will I make the feete of Israel, mooue any more out of the lande, which I gaue their fathers: so that they will obserue and doe all that I haue commanded them, and according to all the Lawe that my seruant Moses commanded them.

٩ 9 فَلَمْ يَسْمَعُوا، بَلْ أَضَلَّهُمْ مَنَسَّى لِيَعْمَلُوا مَا هُوَ أَقْبَحُ مِنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ ٱلَّذِينَ طَرَدَهُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ مِنْ أَمَامِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.

Yet they obeyed not, but Manasseh ledde them out of the way, to doe more wickedly then did the heathen people, whom the Lord destroyed before the children of Israel.

١٠ 10 وَتَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ عَنْ يَدِ عَبِيدِهِ ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ قَائِلًا:

Therefore the Lord spake by his seruants the Prophets, saying,

١١ 11 «مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّ مَنَسَّى مَلِكَ يَهُوذَا قَدْ عَمِلَ هَذِهِ ٱلْأَرْجَاسَ، وَأَسَاءَ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ ٱلَّذِي عَمِلَهُ ٱلْأَمُورِيُّونَ ٱلَّذِينَ قَبْلَهُ، وَجَعَلَ أَيْضًا يَهُوذَا يُخْطِئُ بِأَصْنَامِهِ،

Because that Manasseh King of Iudah hath done such abominations, and hath wrought more wickedly then al that the Amorites (which were before him) did, and hath made Iudah sinne also with his idoles,

١٢ 12 لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: هَأَنَذَا جَالِبٌ شَرًّا عَلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ وَيَهُوذَا حَتَّى أَنَّ كُلَّ مَنْ يَسْمَعُ بِهِ تَطِنُّ أُذُنَاهُ.

Therefore thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Beholde, I will bring an euill vpon Ierusalem and Iudah, that who so heareth of it, both his eares shall tingle.

١٣ 13 وَأَمُدُّ عَلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ خَيْطَ ٱلسَّامِرَةِ وَمِطْمَارَ بَيْتِ أَخْآبَ، وَأَمْسَحُ أُورُشَلِيمَ كَمَا يَمْسَحُ وَاحِدٌ ٱلصَّحْنَ. يَمْسَحُهُ وَيَقْلِبُهُ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ.

And I will stretch ouer Ierusalem the line of Samaria, and the plommet of the house of Ahab: and I will wipe Ierusalem, as a man wipeth a dish, which he wipeth, and turneth it vpside downe.

١٤ 14 وَأَرْفُضُ بَقِيَّةَ مِيرَاثِي، وَأَدْفَعُهُمْ إِلَى أَيْدِي أَعْدَائِهِمْ، فَيَكُونُونَ غَنِيمَةً وَنَهْبًا لِجَمِيعِ أَعْدَائِهِمْ،

And I will forsake the remnant of mine inheritance, and deliuer them into the hande of their enemies, and they shalbe robbed and spoyled of all their aduersaries,

١٥ 15 لِأَنَّهُمْ عَمِلُوا ٱلشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيَّ، وَصَارُوا يُغِيظُونَنِي مِنَ ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلَّذِي فِيهِ خَرَجَ آبَاؤُهُمْ مِنْ مِصْرَ إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ».

Because they haue done euil in my sight, and haue prouoked mee to anger, since the time their fathers came out of Egypt vntill this day.

١٦ 16 وَسَفَكَ أَيْضًا مَنَسَّى دَمًا بَرِيًّا كَثِيرًا جِدًّا حَتَّى مَلَأَ أُورُشَلِيمَ مِنَ ٱلْجَانِبِ إِلَى ٱلْجَانِبِ، فَضْلًا عَنْ خَطِيَّتِهِ ٱلَّتِي بِهَا جَعَلَ يَهُوذَا يُخْطِئُ بِعَمَلِ ٱلشَّرِّ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ.

Moreouer Manasseh shed innocent blood exceeding much, till hee replenished Ierusalem from corner to corner, beside his sinne wherwith he made Iudah to sinne, and to doe euill in the sight of the Lord.

١٧ 17 وَبَقِيَّةُ أُمُورِ مَنَسَّى وَكُلُّ مَا عَمِلَ، وَخَطِيَّتُهُ ٱلَّتِي أَخْطَأَ بِهَا، أَمَا هِيَ مَكْتُوبَةٌ فِي سِفْرِ أَخْبَارِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ لِمُلُوكِ يَهُوذَا؟

Concerning the rest of the actes of Manasseh, and all that hee did, and his sinne that he sinned, are they not written in the booke of the Chronicles of the Kings of Iudah?

١٨ 18 ثُمَّ ٱضْطَجَعَ مَنَسَّى مَعَ آبَائِهِ، وَدُفِنَ فِي بُسْتَانِ بَيْتِهِ فِي بُسْتَانِ عُزَّا، وَمَلَكَ آمُونُ ٱبْنُهُ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ.

And Manasseh slept with his fathers, and was buried in the garden of his own house, euen in the garden of Vzza: and Amon his sonne reigned in his steade.

١٩ 19 كَانَ آمُونُ ٱبْنَ ٱثْنَتَيْنِ وَعِشْرِينَ سَنَةً حِينَ مَلَكَ، وَمَلَكَ سَنَتَيْنِ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَٱسْمُ أُمِّهِ مَشُلَّمَةُ بِنْتُ حَارُوصَ مِنْ يَطْبَةَ.

Amon was two and twentie yere olde, when he began to reigne, and hee reygned two yeere in Ierusalem: his mothers name also was Meshullemeth the daughter of Haruz of Iotbah.

٢٠ 20 وَعَمِلَ ٱلشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ كَمَا عَمِلَ مَنَسَّى أَبُوهُ.

And he did euill in the sight of the Lord, as his father Manasseh did.

٢١ 21 وَسَلَكَ فِي كُلِّ ٱلطَّرِيقِ ٱلَّذِي سَلَكَ فِيهِ أَبُوهُ، وَعَبَدَ ٱلْأَصْنَامَ ٱلَّتِي عَبَدَهَا أَبُوهُ وَسَجَدَ لَهَا.

For hee walked in all the way that his father walked in, and serued the idoles that his father serued, and worshipped them.

٢٢ 22 وَتَرَكَ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَ آبَائِهِ وَلَمْ يَسْلُكْ فِي طَرِيقِ ٱلرَّبِّ.

And he forsooke the Lord God of his fathers, and walked not in the way of the Lord.

٢٣ 23 وَفَتَنَ عَبِيدُ آمُونَ عَلَيْهِ، فَقَتَلُوا ٱلْمَلِكَ فِي بَيْتِهِ.

And the seruantes of Amon conspired against him, and slewe the King in his owne house.

٢٤ 24 فَضَرَبَ كُلُّ شَعْبِ ٱلْأَرْضِ جَمِيعَ ٱلْفَاتِنِينَ عَلَى ٱلْمَلِكِ آمُونَ، وَمَلَّكَ شَعْبُ ٱلْأَرْضِ يُوشِيَّا ٱبْنَهُ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ.

And the people of the land slewe all them that had conspired against King Amon, and the people made Iosiah his sonne King in his steade.

٢٥ 25 وَبَقِيَّةُ أُمُورِ آمُونَ ٱلَّتِي عَمِلَ، أَمَا هِيَ مَكْتُوبَةٌ فِي سِفْرِ أَخْبَارِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ لِمُلُوكِ يَهُوذَا؟

Concerning the rest of the actes of Amon, which he did, are they not written in the booke of the Chronicles of the Kings of Iudah?

٢٦ 26 وَدُفِنَ فِي قَبْرِهِ فِي بُسْتَانِ عُزَّا، وَمَلَكَ يُوشِيَّا ٱبْنُهُ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ.

And they buried him in his sepulchre in the garden of Vzza: and Iosiah his sonne reigned in his steade.
