2 Chronicles 33

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

Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem.

2 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.

He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, after the abominations of the nations whom the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.

3 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.

For he built again the high places which Hezekiah his father had broken down; and he raised up altars for the Baals, made Asheroth, and worshiped all the army of the sky, and served them.

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

He built altars in the LORD’s house, of which the LORD said, “My name shall be in Jerusalem forever.”

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

He built altars for all the army of the sky in the two courts of the LORD’s house.

6 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.

He also made his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom. He practiced sorcery, divination, and witchcraft, and dealt with those who had familiar spirits and with wizards. He did much evil in the LORD’s sight, to provoke him to anger.

7 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.

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, I will put my name forever.

8 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.

I will not 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, the statutes, and the ordinances given by Moses.”

9 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.

Manasseh seduced Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that they did more evil than did the nations whom the LORD destroyed before the children of Israel.

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

The LORD spoke to Manasseh and to his people, but they didn’t listen.

11 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.

Therefore the LORD brought on them the captains of the army of the king of Assyria, who took Manasseh in chains, bound him with fetters, and carried him to Babylon.

12 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.

When he was in distress, he begged the LORD his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers.

13 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.

He prayed to him; and he was entreated by him, and heard his supplication, and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the LORD was God.

14 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.

Now after this, he built an outer wall to David’s city on the west side of Gihon, in the valley, even to the entrance at the fish gate. 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.

15 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.

He took away the foreign gods and the idol out of the LORD’s house, and all the altars that he had built in the mountain of the LORD’s house and in Jerusalem, and cast them out of the city.

16 (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.

He built up the LORD’s altar, and offered sacrifices of peace offerings and of thanksgiving on it, and commanded Judah to serve the LORD, the God of Israel.

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

Nevertheless the people still sacrificed in the high places, but only to the LORD their God.

18 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.

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 the LORD, the God of Israel, behold, they are written among the acts of the kings of Israel.

19 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.

His prayer also, and how God listened to his request, and all his sin and his trespass, and the places in which he built high places and set up the Asherah poles and the engraved images before he humbled himself: behold, they are written in the history of Hozai.

20 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.

So Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they buried him in his own house; and Amon his son reigned in his place.

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

Amon was twenty-two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned two years in Jerusalem.

22 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.

He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, as did Manasseh his father; and Amon sacrificed to all the engraved images which Manasseh his father had made, and served them.

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

He didn’t humble himself before the LORD, as Manasseh his father had humbled himself; but this same Amon trespassed more and more.

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

His servants conspired against him, and put him to death in his own house.

25 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.

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.
