2 Chronicles 33

1 Manasseh was twelve years old when he became king, and he was ruling for fifty-five years in Jerusalem.

[was] a son of Two [plus] ten year[s] Manasseh when became king he and fifty and five year[s] he reigned in Jerusalem.

2 He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, copying the disgusting ways of the nations whom the Lord had sent out of the land before the children of Israel.

And he did the evil in [the] eyes of Yahweh according to [the] abominations of the nations which he dispossessed Yahweh from before [the] people of Israel.

3 For he put up again the high places which had been pulled down by his father Hezekiah; and he made altars for the Baals, and pillars of wood, and was a worshipper and servant of all the stars of heaven;

And he returned and he built the high places which he had pulled down Hezekiah father his and he set up altars to the Baals and he made Asherah poles and he bowed down to all [the] host of the heavens and he served them.

4 And he made altars in the house of the Lord, of which the Lord had said, In Jerusalem will my name be for ever.

And he built altars in [the] house of Yahweh which he had said Yahweh in Jerusalem it will be name my for ever.

5 And he made altars for all the stars of heaven in the two outer squares of the house of the Lord.

And he built altars to all [the] host of the heavens in [the] two [the] courtyards of [the] house of Yahweh.

6 More than this, he made his children go through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom; and he made use of secret arts, and signs for reading the future, and unnatural powers, and gave positions to those who had control of spirits and to wonder-workers: he did much evil in the eyes of the Lord, moving him to wrath.

And he he made pass sons his in the fire in [the] valley of Ben Hinnom and he practiced soothsaying and he practiced divination and he practiced sorcery and he dealt with necromancer and soothsayer he increased to do the evil in [the] eyes of Yahweh to provoke to anger him.

7 And he put the image he had made in the house of God, the house of which God had said to David and to Solomon his son, In this house, and in Jerusalem, the town which I have made mine out of all the tribes of Israel, will I put my name for ever:

And he put [the] idol of sculpture which he had made in [the] house of God which he had said God to David and to Solomon son his in the house this and in Jerusalem which I have chosen from all [the] tribes of Israel I will put name my for ever.

8 And never again will I let the feet of Israel be moved out of the land which I have given to their fathers; if only they will take care to do all my orders, even all the law and the orders and the rules given to them by Moses.

And not I will repeat to remove [the] foot of Israel from on the ground which I appointed for ancestors your only - if they will take care to observe all that I commanded them to all the law and the statutes and the judgments by [the] hand of Moses.

9 And Manasseh made Judah and the people of Jerusalem go out of the true way, so that they did more evil than those nations whom the Lord gave up to destruction before the children of Israel.

And he misled Manasseh Judah and [the] inhabitants of Jerusalem to do evil more than the nations which he had destroyed Yahweh from before [the] people of Israel.

10 And the word of the Lord came to Manasseh and his people, but they gave no attention.

And he spoke Yahweh to Manasseh and to people his and not they paid attention.

11 So the Lord sent against them the captains of the army of Assyria, who made Manasseh a prisoner and took him away in chains to Babylon.

And he brought Yahweh on them [the] commanders of the army which [belonged] to [the] king of Assyria and they captured Manasseh with hooks and they bound him with bronze fetters and they brought him Babylon towards.

12 And crying out to the Lord his God in his trouble, he made himself low before the God of his fathers,

And just as harassed him he entreated [the] face of Yahweh God his and he humbled himself exceedingly from to before [the] God of ancestors his.

13 And made prayer to him; and in answer to his prayer God let him come back to Jerusalem and to his kingdom. Then Manasseh was certain that the Lord was God.

And he prayed to him and he was entreated by him and he heard supplication his and he brought back him Jerusalem to kingdom his and he knew Manasseh that Yahweh he [was] God.

14 After this he made an outer wall for the town of David, on the west side of Gihon in the valley, as far as the way into the town by the fish doorway; and he put a very high wall round the Ophel; and he put captains of the army in all the walled towns of Judah.

And after thus he rebuilt [the] wall outer - of [the] city of David west-ward of Gihon in the wadi and to go in [the] gate of the fish and he went around the Ophel and he made high it very and he put commanders of [the] army in all the cities fortified in Judah.

15 He took away the strange gods and the image out of the house of the Lord, and all the altars he had put up on the hill of the Lord's house and in Jerusalem, and put them out of the town.

And he removed [the] gods of foreignness and the image from [the] house of Yahweh and all the altars which he had built on [the] mountain of [the] house of Yahweh and in Jerusalem and he threw [them] [the] outside towards of the city.

16 And he put the altar of the Lord in order, offering peace-offerings and praise-offerings on it, and said that all Judah were to be servants of the Lord, the God of Israel.

(And he rebuilt *Q(K)*) [the] altar of Yahweh and he sacrificed on it sacrifices of peace offering and thanksgiving and he said to Judah to serve Yahweh [the] God of Israel.

17 However, the people still made offerings in the high places, but only to the Lord their God.

But still the people [were] sacrificing at the high places only to Yahweh God their.

18 Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and his prayer to his God, and the words which the seers said to him in the name of the Lord, the God of Israel, are recorded among the acts of the kings of Israel.

And [the] rest of [the] matters of Manasseh and prayer his to God his and [the] words of the seers who spoke to him in [the] name of Yahweh [the] God of Israel there they [are] on [the] matters of [the] kings of Israel.

19 And the prayer which he made to God, and how God gave him an answer, and all his sin and his wrongdoing, and the places where he made high places and put up pillars of wood and images, before he put away his pride, are recorded in the history of the seers.

And prayer his and being entreated by him and all sin his and unfaithfulness his and the places which he built at them high places and he set up the Asherah poles and the idols before he humbled himself there they [are] written on [the] words of Hozai.

20 So Manasseh went to rest with his fathers, and they put his body to rest in his house, and Amon his son became king in his place.

And he lay down Manasseh with ancestors his and people buried him house his and he became king Amon son his in place of him.

21 Amon was twenty-two years old when he became king; and he was ruling for two years in Jerusalem.

[was] a son of Twenty and two year[s] Amon when became king he and two years he reigned in Jerusalem.

22 He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, as Manasseh his father had done; and Amon made offerings to all the images which his father Manasseh had made, and was their servant.

And he did the evil in [the] eyes of Yahweh just as he had done Manasseh father his and to all the idols which he had made Manasseh father his he sacrificed Amon and he served them.

23 He did not make himself low before the Lord, as his father Manasseh had done, but went on sinning more and more.

And not he humbled himself from to before Yahweh as had humbled himself Manasseh father his for he Amon he increased guilt.

24 And his servants made a secret design against him, and put him to death in his house.

And they conspired on him servants his and they killed him in own house his.

25 But the people of the land put to death all those who had taken part in the design against King Amon, and made his son Josiah king in his place.

And they struck down [the] people of the land all those [who] had conspired on the king Amon and they made king [the] people of the land Josiah son his in place of him.
