2 Chronicles 33

1 Manasseh [was] twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty and five years in Jerusalem:

١ كَانَ مَنَسَّى ٱبْنَ ٱثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً حِينَ مَلَكَ، وَمَلَكَ خَمْسًا وَخَمْسِينَ سَنَةً فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ.

2 But did [that which was] evil in the sight of the LORD, like the abominations of the heathen, whom the LORD had cast out before the children of Israel.

٢ وَعَمِلَ ٱلشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ حَسَبَ رَجَاسَاتِ ٱلْأُمَمِ ٱلَّذِينَ طَرَدَهُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ مِنْ أَمَامِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.

3 For he built again the high places which Hezekiah his father had broken down; and he reared up altars for Baalim, and made groves, and worshiped all the host of heaven, and served them.

٣ وَعَادَ فَبَنَى ٱلْمُرْتَفَعَاتِ ٱلَّتِي هَدَمَهَا حَزَقِيَّا أَبُوهُ، وَأَقَامَ مَذَابِحَ لِلْبَعْلِيمِ، وَعَمِلَ سَوَارِيَ وَسَجَدَ لِكُلِّ جُنْدِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ وَعَبَدَهَا.

4 Also he built altars in the house of the LORD, of which the LORD had said, In Jerusalem shall my name be for ever.

٤ وَبَنَى مَذَابِحَ فِي بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّذِي قَالَ عَنْهُ ٱلرَّبُّ: «فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ يَكُونُ ٱسْمِي إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ».

5 And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the LORD.

٥ وَبَنَى مَذَابِحَ لِكُلِّ جُنْدِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ فِي دَارَيْ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ.

6 And he caused his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom: also he observed times, and used enchantments, and used witchcraft, and dealt with a familiar spirit, and with wizards: he wrought much evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.

٦ وَعَبَّرَ بَنِيهِ فِي ٱلنَّارِ فِي وَادِي ٱبْنِ هِنُّومَ، وَعَافَ وَتَفَاءَلَ وَسَحَرَ، وَٱسْتَخْدَمَ جَانًّا وَتَابِعَةً، وَأَكْثَرَ عَمَلَ ٱلشَّرِّ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ لِإِغَاظَتِهِ.

7 And he set a carved image, the idol which he had made, in the house of God, of which God had said to David and to Solomon his son, In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen before all the tribes of Israel, will I put my name for ever:

٧ وَوَضَعَ تِمْثَالَ ٱلشَّكْلِ ٱلَّذِي عَمِلَهُ فِي بَيْتِ ٱللهِ ٱلَّذِي قَالَ ٱللهُ عَنْهُ لِدَاوُدَ وَلِسُلَيْمَانَ ٱبْنِهِ: «فِي هَذَا ٱلْبَيْتِ وَفِي أُورُشَلِيمَ ٱلَّتِي ٱخْتَرْتُ مِنْ جَمِيعِ أَسْبَاطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ أَضَعُ ٱسْمِي إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ.

8 Neither will I any more remove the foot of Israel from the land which I have appointed for your fathers; provided they will take heed to do all that I have commanded them, according to the whole law and the statutes and the ordinances by the hand of Moses.

٨ وَلَا أَعُودُ أُزَحْزِحُ رِجْلَ إِسْرَائِيلَ عَنِ ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي عَيَّنْتُ لِآبَائِهِمْ، وَذَلِكَ إِذَا حَفِظُوا وَعَمِلُوا كُلَّ مَا أَوْصَيْتُهُمْ بِهِ، كُلَّ ٱلشَّرِيعَةِ وَٱلْفَرَائِضِ وَٱلْأَحْكَامِ عَنْ يَدِ مُوسَى».

9 So Manasseh made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to err, [and] to do worse than the heathen, whom the LORD had destroyed before the children of Israel.

٩ وَلَكِنْ مَنَسَّى أَضَلَّ يَهُوذَا وَسُكَّانَ أُورُشَلِيمَ لِيَعْمَلُوا أَشَرَّ مِنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ ٱلَّذِينَ طَرَدَهُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ مِنْ أَمَامِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.

10 And the LORD spoke to Manasseh, and to his people: but they would not hearken.

١٠ وَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مَنَسَّى وَشَعْبَهُ فَلَمْ يُصْغُوا.

11 Wherefore the LORD brought upon them the captains of the army of the king of Assyria, who took Manasseh among the thorns, and bound him with fetters, and carried him to Babylon.

١١ فَجَلَبَ ٱلرَّبُّ عَلَيْهِمْ رُؤَسَاءَ الجُنْدِ ٱلَّذِينَ لِمَلِكِ أَشُّورَ، فَأَخَذُوا مَنَسَّى بِخِزَامَةٍ وَقَيَّدُوهُ بِسَلَاسِلِ نُحَاسٍ وَذَهَبُوا بِهِ إِلَى بَابِلَ.

12 And when he was in affliction, he besought the LORD his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers,

١٢ وَلَمَّا تَضَايَقَ طَلَبَ وَجْهَ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِهِ، وَتَوَاضَعَ جِدًّا أَمَامَ إِلَهِ آبَائِهِ،

13 And 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 he [is] God.

١٣ وَصَلَّى إِلَيْهِ فَٱسْتَجَابَ لَهُ وَسَمِعَ تَضَرُّعَهُ، وَرَدَّهُ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ إِلَى مَمْلَكَتِهِ. فَعَلِمَ مَنَسَّى أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ هُوَ ٱللهُ.

14 Now after this, he built a wall without the city of David, on the west side of Gihon, in the valley, even to the entrance at the fish-gate, and compassed about Ophel, and raised it up a very great highth, and put captains of war in all the fortified cities of Judah.

١٤ وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ بَنَى سُورًا خَارِجَ مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ غَرْبًا إِلَى جِيحُونَ فِي ٱلْوَادِي، وَإِلَى مَدْخَلِ بَابِ ٱلسَّمَكِ، وَحَوَّطَ ٱلْأَكَمَةَ بِسُورٍ وَعَلَّاهُ جِدًّا. وَوَضَعَ رُؤَسَاءَ جُيُوشٍ فِي جَمِيعِ ٱلْمُدُنِ ٱلْحَصِينَةِ فِي يَهُوذَا.

15 And he took away the strange gods, and the idol out of the house of the LORD, and all the altars that he had built in the mount of the house of the LORD, and in Jerusalem, and cast [them] out of the city.

١٥ وَأَزَالَ ٱلْآلِهَةَ ٱلْغَرِيبَةَ وَٱلْأَشْبَاهَ مِنْ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَجَمِيعَ ٱلْمَذَابِحِ ٱلَّتِي بَنَاهَا فِي جَبَلِ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَفِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَطَرَحَهَا خَارِجَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ.

16 And he repaired the altar of the LORD, and sacrificed on it peace-offerings and thank-offerings, and commanded Judah to serve the LORD God of Israel.

١٦ وَرَمَّمَ مَذْبَحَ ٱلرَّبِّ وَذَبَحَ عَلَيْهِ ذَبَائِحَ سَلَامَةٍ وَشُكْرٍ، وَأَمَرَ يَهُوذَا أَنْ يَعْبُدُوا ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

17 Nevertheless, the people sacrificed still in the high places, [yet] to the LORD their God only.

١٧ إِلَّا أَنَّ ٱلشَّعْبَ كَانُوا بَعْدُ يَذْبَحُونَ عَلَى ٱلْمُرْتَفَعَاتِ، إِنَّمَا لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِهِمْ.

18 Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and his prayer to his God, and the words of the seers that spoke to him in the name of the LORD God of Israel, behold, they [are written] in the book of the kings of Israel.

١٨ وَبَقِيَّةُ أُمُورِ مَنَسَّى وَصَلَاتُهُ إِلَى إِلَهِهِ، وَكَلَامُ ٱلرَّائِينَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَلَّمُوهُ بِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، هَا هِيَ فِي أَخْبَارِ مُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

19 His prayer also, and [how God] was entreated by him, and all his sin, and his trespass, and the places in which he built high places, and set up groves and graven images, before he was humbled: behold, they [are] written among the sayings of the seers.

١٩ وَصَلَاتُهُ وَالِٱسْتِجَابَةُ لَهُ، وَكُلُّ خَطَايَاهُ وَخِيَانَتُهُ وَٱلْأَمَاكِنُ ٱلَّتِي بَنَى فِيهَا مُرْتَفَعَاتٍ وَأَقَامَ سَوَارِيَ وَتَمَاثِيلَ قَبْلَ تَوَاضُعِهِ، هَا هِيَ مَكْتُوبَةٌ فِي أَخْبَارِ ٱلرَّائِينَ.

20 So Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they buried him in his own house: and Amon his son reigned in his stead.

٢٠ ثُمَّ ٱضْطَجَعَ مَنَسَّى مَعَ آبَائِهِ فَدَفَنُوهُ فِي بَيْتِهِ، وَمَلَكَ آمُونُ ٱبْنُهُ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ.

21 Amon [was] two and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned two years in Jerusalem.

٢١ كَانَ آمُونُ ٱبْنَ ٱثْنَتَيْنِ وَعِشْرِينَ سَنَةً حِينَ مَلَكَ، وَمَلَكَ سَنَتَيْنِ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ.

22 But he did [that which was] evil in the sight of the LORD, as did Manasseh his father: for Amon sacrificed to all the carved images which Manasseh his father had made, and served them;

٢٢ وَعَمِلَ ٱلشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ كَمَا عَمِلَ مَنَسَّى أَبُوهُ، وَذَبَحَ آمُونُ لِجَمِيعِ ٱلتَّمَاثِيلِ ٱلَّتِي عَمِلَ مَنَسَّى أَبُوهُ وَعَبَدَهَا.

23 And humbled not himself before the LORD, as Manasseh his father had humbled himself; but Amon trespassed more and more.

٢٣ وَلَمْ يَتَوَاضَعْ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ كَمَا تَوَاضَعَ مَنَسَّى أَبُوهُ، بَلِ ٱزْدَادَ آمُونُ إِثْمًا.

24 And his servants conspired against him, and slew him in his own house.

٢٤ وَفَتَنَ عَلَيْهِ عَبِيدُهُ وَقَتَلُوهُ فِي بَيْتِهِ.

25 But 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.

٢٥ وَقَتَلَ شَعْبُ ٱلْأَرْضِ جَمِيعَ ٱلْفَاتِنِينَ عَلَى ٱلْمَلِكِ آمُونَ، وَمَلَّكَ شَعْبُ ٱلْأَرْضِ يُوشِيَّا ٱبْنَهُ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ.
