2 Chronicles 33
1 Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign; and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem.
Duodecim annorum erat Manasses cum regnare cœpisset, et quinquagintaquinque annis regnavit in Ierusalem.
2 He did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, after the abominations of the nations whom Jehovah cast out before the children of Israel.
Fecit autem malum coram Domino iuxta abominationes gentium, quas subvertit Dominus coram filiis Israel:
3 For he built again the high places which Hezekiah his father had broken down; and he reared up altars for the Baals, and made Asheroth, and worshiped all the host of heaven, and served them.
et conversus instauravit excelsa, quæ demolitus fuerat Ezechias pater eius: construxitque aras Baalim, et fecit lucos, et adoravit omnem militiam cæli, et coluit eam.
4 He built altars in the house of Jehovah, of which Jehovah said, "My name shall be in Jerusalem forever."
Ædificavit quoque altaria in domo Domini, de qua dixerat Dominus: In Ierusalem erit nomen meum in æternum.
5 He built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of Jehovah.
Ædificavit autem ea cuncto exercitui cæli in duobus atriis domus Domini.
6 He also made his children to pass through the fire in the Valley of Ben Hinnom; and he practiced sorcery, divination, and witchcraft, and consulted mediums, and spiritists: he worked much evil in the sight of Jehovah, to provoke him to anger.
Transireque fecit filios suos per ignem in Vallebenennom: observabat somnia, sectabatur auguria, maleficis artibus inserviebat, habebat secum magos, et incantatores: multaque mala operatus est coram Domino ut irritaret eum.
7 He set the engraved image of the idol, which he had made, in God's house, of which God 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:
Sculptile quoque, et conflatile signum posuit in domo Dei, de qua locutus est Deus ad David, et ad Salomonem filium eius, dicens: In domo hac et in Ierusalem, quam elegi de cunctis tribubus Israel, ponam nomen meum in sempiternum.
8 neither will I any more remove the foot of Israel from off the land which I have appointed for your fathers, if only they will observe to do all that I have commanded them, even all the law and the statutes and the ordinances given by Moses."
Et moveri non faciam pedem Israel de terra, quam tradidi patribus eorum: ita dumtaxat si custodierint facere quæ præcepi eis, cunctamque legem, et ceremonias, atque iudicia per manum Moysi.
9 Manasseh seduced Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that they did more evil than the nations whom Jehovah destroyed before the children of Israel did.
Igitur Manasses seduxit Iudam, et habitatores Ierusalem ut facerent malum super omnes gentes, quas subverterat Dominus a facie filiorum Israel.
10 Jehovah spoke to Manasseh, and to his people; but they gave no heed.
Locutusque est Dominus ad eum, et ad populum illius, et attendere noluerunt.
11 Therefore Jehovah brought on them the captains of the army of the king of Assyria, who took Manasseh in chains, and bound him with fetters, and carried him to Babylon.
Idcirco superinduxit eis principes exercitus regis Assyriorum: ceperuntque Manassen, et vinctum catenis, atque compedibus duxerunt in Babylonem.
12 When he was in distress, he begged Jehovah his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers.
Qui postquam coangustatus est, oravit Dominum Deum suum: et egit pœnitentiam valde coram Deo patrum suorum.
13 He prayed to him; and he was entreated by him, and heard his petition, and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that Jehovah was God.
Deprecatusque est eum, et obsecravit intente: et exaudivit orationem eius, reduxitque eum Ierusalem in regnum suum, et cognovit Manasses quod Dominus ipse esset Deus.
14 Now after this he built an outer wall to the City of David, on the west side of Gihon, in the valley, even to the entrance at the Fish Gate; and he encircled Ophel with it, and raised it up to a very great height: and he put valiant captains in all the fortified cities of Judah.
Post hæc ædificavit murum extra civitatem David ad Occidentem Gihon in convalle, ab introitu portæ piscium per circuitum usque ad Ophel, et exaltavit illum vehementer: constituitque principes exercitus in cunctis civitatibus Iuda munitis:
15 He took away the foreign gods, and the idol out of the house of Jehovah, and all the altars that he had built in the mountain of the house of Jehovah, and in Jerusalem, and cast them out of the city.
et abstulit deos alienos, et simulacrum de domo Domini: aras quoque, quas fecerat in monte domus Domini, et in Ierusalem, et proiecit omnia extra urbem.
16 He built up the altar of Jehovah, and offered thereon sacrifices of peace offerings and of thanksgiving, and commanded Judah to serve Jehovah, the God of Israel.
Porro instauravit altare Domini, et immolavit super illud victimas, et pacifica, et laudem: præcepitque Iudæ ut serviret Domino Deo Israel.
17 Nevertheless the people sacrificed still in the high places, but only to Jehovah their God.
Attamen adhuc populus immolabat in excelsis Domino Deo suo.
18 Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and his prayer to his God, and the words of the seers who spoke to him in the name of Jehovah, the God of Israel, look, they are written among the acts of the kings of Israel.
Reliqua autem gestorum Manasse: et obsecratio eius ad Deum suum: verba quoque Videntium, qui loquebantur ad eum in nomine Domini Dei Israel, continentur in sermonibus regum Israel.
19 His prayer also, and how God was entreated of him, and all his sin and his trespass, and the places in which he built high places, and set up the Asherim and the engraved images, before he humbled himself, look, they are written in the Record of the Seers.
Oratio quoque eius et exauditio, et cuncta peccata, atque contemptus, loca etiam, in quibus ædificavit excelsa, et fecit lucos, et statuas antequam ageret pœnitentiam, scripta sunt in sermonibus Hozai.
20 So Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the garden of his own house. And Amon his son reigned in his place.
Dormivit ergo Manasses cum patribus suis, et sepelierunt eum in domo sua: regnavitque pro eo filius eius Amon.
21 Amon was twenty-two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned two years in Jerusalem.
Vigintiduorum annorum erat Amon cum regnare cœpisset, et duobus annis regnavit in Ierusalem.
22 He did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, as did Manasseh his father; and Amon sacrificed to all the engraved images which Manasseh his father had made, and served them.
Fecitque malum in conspectu Domini, sicut fecerat Manasses pater eius: et cunctis idolis, quæ Manasses fuerat fabricatus, immolavit atque servivit.
23 He did not humble himself before Jehovah, as Manasseh his father had humbled himself; but this same Amon trespassed more and more.
Et non est reveritus faciem Domini, sicut reveritus est Manasses pater eius: et multo maiora deliquit.
24 His servants conspired against him, and put him to death in his own house.
Cumque coniurassent adversus eum servi sui, interfecerunt eum in domo sua.
25 But 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.
Porro reliqua populi multitudo, cæsis iis, qui Amon percusserant, constituit regem Iosiam filium eius pro eo.
