Manasseh was twelve when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for fifty-five years. His mother's name was Hephzibah.

He did what was evil in the Lord's sight by following the disgusting pagan practices of the nations that the Lord had driven out before the Israelites.

He rebuilt the high places his father Hezekiah had destroyed, and he erected altars for Baal. He made an Asherah idol pole, just as Ahab, king of Israel, had done, and he worshiped and served the sun, moon, and stars.
4 BOEIPA loh, “Ka ming he Jerusalem ah ni ka khueh eh,” a ti vanbangla BOEIPA im ah hmueihtuk a suem.
He set up pagan altars in the Lord's Temple, right where the Lord had said, “I will place my name in Jerusalem forever.”

He set up altars to worship the sun, moon, and stars in the two courtyards of the Lord's Temple.
6 A ca te hmai dongah a kat sak. Kutyaek a sawt tih lung a sawt. Rhaitonghma a dawt tih a mikhmuh ah boethae saii ham neh BOEIPA veet ham te hnam la tlung.
He even he sacrificed his own son as a burnt offering, and used fortune-telling and witchcraft, and he dealt with mediums and with spiritists. He did a great deal of evil in the Lord's sight, making the Lord angry.
7 Asherah mueithuk a saii te im ah a khueh. Te te BOEIPA loh a ca David taeng neh Solomon taengah tah, “He im khui neh Israel koca cungkuem lamloh ka coelh Jerusalem ah he kumhal duela ka ming ka khueh ni.
He took the Asherah idol pole he had made and placed in the Temple. This was the place referred to by the Lord when he told David and Solomon, his son, “In this Temple and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen from all the tribes of Israel, I will place my name forever.
8 A cungkuem dongah amih ka uen bangla saii ham a ngaithuen uh mak atah a napa rhoek taengah ka paek khohmuen lamloh Israel kah khokan rhaehba sak ham ka khoep mahpawh. Te dongah a cungkuem dongkah olkhueng te ka sal Moses loh amih a uen coeng,” a ti nah.
I will never again make the Israelites wander from the land I gave their forefathers if they are careful to follow everything I have ordered them to do—the whole law that my servant Moses gave them.”
9 Tedae a ngai uh pawt dongah Manasseh loh amih kho a hmang sak. Te dongah BOEIPA loh Israel ca rhoek mikhmuh lamkah a milh sak namtom rhoek lakah boethae a saii.
The people refused to listen and Manasseh led them to sin so that the evil they did was even worse than the nations the Lord had destroyed before the Israelites.
10 BOEIPA loh a sal, tonghma rhoek kut ah a thui tih,
The Lord said through his servants the prophets:
11 “Judah manghai Manasseh loh tueilaehkoi a saii vanbangla te rhoek te a mikhmuh kah Amori rhoek loh a saii boeih lakah khaw thae. Te dongah Judah khaw a mueirhol neh a tholh sak.
“Since Manasseh, king of Judah, has committed all these disgusting sins, doing even more evil things than the Amorites who lived before him, and by his encouragement of idol worship has made Judah sin,
12 Te dongah ni Israel Pathen BOEIPA loh he he a thui. Kai loh Jerusalem neh Judah soah boethae ka khuen pah coeng. Te te aka ya la aka ya boeih tah a hna rhoi te umya uh bitni.
this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: Watch out! I am going to bring down upon Jerusalem and Judah such a disaster that it will cause ringing in the ears of everyone who hears it.
13 Jerusalem soah Samaria rhilam neh Ahab im kah mikrhael ka toe ni. Bael a huih, a huih tih a hmai long a bueng bangla Jerusalem te ka huih ni.
I will extend over Jerusalem the measuring line used against Samaria and the plumb line used against the house of Ahab, and I will wipe away Jerusalem as people wipe clean a bowl, wiping it and turning it upside down.
14 Ka rho kah a meet te ka phap vetih amih te a thunkha kut ah ka paek ni. Te vaengah a thunkha cungkuem taengah maeh neh maehbuem la om uh ni.
I will give up on the remnant of my special people and hand them over to their enemies. They will be plunder and loot to all their enemies,

because they have done what is evil in my sight, and have made me angry from the day their fathers left Egypt until today.”

On top of that, Manasseh murdered so many innocent people that Jerusalem was filled from one side to the other with their blood. This was in addition to the sin that he had made Judah commit, doing evil in the Lord's sight.
17 Manasseh kah ol noi neh a cungkuem a saii te khaw, a tholhnah neh a tholh te khaw, Judah manghai rhoek kah khokhuen olka cabu dongah a daek uh moenih a?

Manasseh died, and was buried in his palace garden, the garden of Uzza. His son Amon succeeded him as king.

Amon was twenty-two when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for two years. His mother's name was Meshullemeth, daughter of Haruz. She came from Jotbah.

He did what was evil in the Lord's sight, just as his father Manasseh had done.
21 A napa kah a pongpa bangla longpuei cungkuem ah pongpa. A napa kah thothueng bangla mueirhol taengah tho a thueng tih te rhoek taengah bakop.
He followed all the ways of his father, and he served the idols his father had served, bowing down in worship to them.
