2 Kings 21
1 MANASSEH was twelve years old when he began to reign, and reigned fifty and five years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Hephzi-bah.
Duodecim annorum erat Manasses cum regnare coepisset, et quinquaginta quinque annis regnavit in Ierusalem: nomen matris eius Haphsiba.
2 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, after the abominations of the heathen, whom the Lord cast out before the children of Israel.
Fecitque malum in conspectu Domini, iuxta idola Gentium, quas delevit Dominus a facie filiorum Israel.
3 For he built up again the high places which Hezekiah his father had destroyed; and he reared up altars for Baal, and made a grove, as did Ahab king of Israel; and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served them.
Conversusque est, et aedificavit excelsa, quae dissipaverat Ezechias pater eius: et erexit aras Baal, et fecit lucos sicut fecerat Achab rex Israel, et adoravit omnem militiam caeli, et coluit eam.
4 And he built altars in the house of the Lord, of which the Lord said, In Jerusalem will I put my name.
Extruxitque aras in domo Domini, de qua dixit Dominus: In Ierusalem ponam nomen meum.
5 And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the Lord.
Et extruxit altaria universae militiae caeli in duobus atriis templi Domini.
6 And he made his son pass through the fire, and observed times, and used enchantments, and dealt with familiar spirits and wizards: he wrought much wickedness in the sight of the Lord, to provoke him to anger.
Et traduxit filium suum per ignem: et ariolatus est, et observavit auguria, et fecit pythones, et aruspices multiplicavit, ut faceret malum coram Domino, et irritaret eum.
7 And he set a graven image of the grove that he had made in the house, of which the Lord said to David, and to Solomon his son, In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all tribes of Israel, will I put my name for ever:
Posuit quoque idolum luci, quem fecerat in templo Domini, super quod locutus est Dominus ad David, et ad Salomonem filium eius: In templo hoc, et in Ierusalem, quam elegi de cunctis tribubus Israel, ponam nomen meum in sempiternum.
8 Neither will I make the feet of Israel move any more out of the land which I gave their fathers; only if 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.
Et ultra non faciam commoveri pedem Israel de terra, quam dedi patribus eorum: si tamen custodierint opere omnia quae praecepi eis, et universam legem, quam mandavit eis servus meus Moyses.
9 But they hearkened not: and Manasseh seduced them to do more evil than did the nations whom the Lord destroyed before the children of Israel.
Illi vero non audierunt: sed seducti sunt a Manasse, ut facerent malum super Gentes, quas contrivit Dominus a facie filiorum Israel.
10 And the Lord spake by his servants the prophets, saying,
Locutusque est Dominus in manu servorum suorum Prophetarum, dicens:
11 Because Manasseh king of Judah hath done these abominations, and hath done wickedly above all that the Amorites did, which were before him, and hath made Judah also to sin with his idols:
Quia fecit Manasses rex Iuda abominationes istas pessimas, super omnia quae fecerunt Amorrhaei ante eum, et peccare fecit etiam Iudam in immunditiis suis:
12 Therefore thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Behold, I am bringing such evil upon Jerusalem and Judah, that whosoever heareth of it, both his ears shall tingle.
propterea haec dicit Dominus Deus Israel: Ecce ego inducam mala super Ierusalem et Iudam: ut quicumque audierit, tinniant ambae aures eius.
13 And I will stretch over Jerusalem the line of Samaria, and the plummet of the house of Ahab: and I will wipe Jerusalem as a man wipeth a dish, wiping it, and turning it upside down.
Et extendam super Ierusalem funiculum Samariae, et pondus domus Achab: et delebo Ierusalem, sicut deleri solent tabulae: et delens vertam, et ducam crebrius stylum super faciem eius.
14 And I will forsake the remnant of mine inheritance, and deliver them into the hand of their enemies; and they shall become a prey and a spoil to all their enemies;
Dimittam vero reliquias hereditatis meae, et tradam eas in manus inimicorum eius: eruntque in vastitatem, et in rapinam cunctis adversariis suis:
15 Because they have done that which was evil in my sight, and have provoked me to anger, since the day their fathers came forth out of Egypt, even unto this day.
eo quod fecerint malum coram me, et perseveraverint irritantes me, ex die qua egressi sunt patres eorum ex Aegypto, usque ad hanc diem.
16 Moreover Manasseh shed innocent blood very much, till he had filled Jerusalem from one end to another; beside his sin wherewith he made Judah to sin, in doing that which was evil in the sight of the Lord.
Insuper et sanguinem innoxium fudit Manasses multum nimis, donec impleret Ierusalem usque ad os: absque peccatis suis, quibus peccare fecit Iudam, ut faceret malum coram Domino.
17 Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and all that he did, and his sin that he sinned, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
Reliqua autem sermonum Manasse, ut universa quae fecit, et peccatum eius, quod peccavit, nonne haec scripta sunt in Libro sermonum dierum regum Iuda?
18 And Manasseh 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 stead.
Dormivitque Manasses cum patribus suis, et sepultus est in horto domus suae, in horto Oza: et regnavit Amon filius eius pro eo.
19 Amon was twenty and 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.
Viginti duorum annorum erat Amon cum regnare coepisset: duobus quoque annis regnavit in Ierusalem. nomen matris eius Messalemeth filia Harus de Ieteba.
20 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, as his father Manasseh did.
Fecitque malum in conspectu Domini, sicut fecerat Manasses pater eius.
21 And he walked in all the way that his father walked in, and served the idols that his father served, and worshipped them:
Et ambulavit in omni via, per quam ambulaverat pater eius: servivitque immunditiis, quibus servierat pater eius, et adoravit eas,
22 And he forsook the Lord God of his fathers, and walked not in the way of the Lord.
et dereliquit Dominum Deum patrum suorum, et non ambulavit in via Domini.
23 And the servants of Amon conspired against him, and slew the king in his own house.
Tetenderuntque ei insidias servi sui, et interfecerunt regem in domo sua.
24 And the people of the land slew all them that had conspired against king Amon; and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his stead.
Percussit autem populus terrae omnes, qui coniuraverant contra regem Amon: et constituerunt sibi regem Iosiam filium eius pro eo.
25 Now the rest of the acts of Amon which he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
Reliqua autem sermonum Amon quae fecit, nonne haec scripta sunt in Libro sermonum dierum regum Iuda?
26 And he was buried in his sepulchre in the garden of Uzza: and Josiah his son reigned in his stead.
Sepelieruntque eum in sepulchro suo, in horto Oza: et regnavit Iosias filius eius pro eo.
