2 Chronicles 33
1 A son of twelve years is Manasseh in his reigning, and fifty and five years he hath reigned in Jerusalem;
Duodecim annorum erat Manasses cum regnare cœpisset, et quinquaginta quinque annis regnavit in Ierusalem.
2 and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, like the abominations of the nations that Jehovah dispossessed from the presence of the sons of Israel,
Fecit autem malum coram Domino iuxta abominationes gentium, quas subvertit Dominus coram filiis Israel:
3 and he turneth and buildeth the high places that Hezekiah his father hath broken down, and raiseth altars for Baalim, and maketh shrines, and boweth himself to all the host of the heavens, and serveth 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 And he hath built altars in the house of Jehovah of which Jehovah had said, 'In Jerusalem is My name to the age.'
Ædificavit quoque altaria in domo Domini, de qua dixerat Dominus: In Ierusalem erit nomen meum in æternum.
5 And he buildeth altars to all the host of the heavens in the two courts of the house of Jehovah.
Ædificavit autem ea cuncto exercitui cæli in duobus atriis domus Domini.
6 And he hath caused his sons to pass over through fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom, and observed clouds and used enchantments and witchcraft, and dealt with a familiar spirit, and a wizard; he hath multiplied to do the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, to provoke him to anger.
Transireque fecit filios suos per ignem in Valle Benennom: observabat somnia, sectabatur auguria, maleficis artibus inserviebat, habebat secum magos, et incantatores: multaque mala operatus est coram Domino ut irritaret eum.
7 And he placeth the graven image of the idol that he made in the house of God, of which God said unto David, and unto Solomon his son, 'In this house, and in Jerusalem that I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, I put My name to the age,
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 and I add not to turn aside the foot of Israel from off the ground that I appointed to your fathers, only, if they watch to do all that I have commanded them — to all the law, and the statutes, and the ordinances by the hand of 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 And Manasseh maketh Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to err, to do evil above the nations that Jehovah destroyed from the presence of the sons of Israel.
Igitur Manasses seduxit Iudam, et habitatores Ierusalem ut facerent malum super omnes gentes, quas subverterat Dominus a facie filiorum Israel.
10 And Jehovah speaketh unto Manasseh and unto his people, and they have not attended,
Locutusque est Dominus ad eum, et ad populum illius, et attendere noluerunt.
11 and Jehovah bringeth in against them the heads of the host that the king of Asshur hath, and they capture Manasseh among the thickets, and bind him with brazen fetters, and cause him to go to Babylon.
Idcirco superinduxit eis principes exercitus regis Assyriorum: ceperuntque Manassen, et vinctum catenis, atque compedibus duxerunt in Babylonem.
12 And when he is in distress he hath appeased the face of Jehovah his God, and is humbled exceedingly before the God of his fathers,
Qui postquam coangustatus est, oravit Dominum Deum suum: et egit pœnitentiam valde coram Deo patrum suorum.
13 and prayeth unto Him, and He is entreated of him, and heareth his supplication, and bringeth him back to Jerusalem, to his kingdom, and Manasseh knoweth that Jehovah — He [is] 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 And after this he hath built an outer wall to the city of David, on the west of Gihon, in the valley, and at the entering in at the fish-gate, and it hath gone round to the tower, and he maketh it exceeding high, and he putteth heads of the force in all the cities of the bulwarks in 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 And he turneth aside the gods of the stranger, and the idol, out of the house of Jehovah, and all the altars that he had built in the mount of the house of Jehovah and in Jerusalem, and casteth [them] to the outside 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 And he buildeth the altar of Jehovah, and sacrificeth upon it sacrifices of peace-offerings and thank-offering, and saith to Judah to serve Jehovah, God of Israel;
Porro instauravit altare Domini, et immolavit super illud victimas, et pacifica, et laudem: præcepitque Iudæ ut serviret Domino Deo Israel.
17 but still the people are sacrificing in high places, only — to Jehovah their God.
Attamen adhuc populus immolabat in excelsis Domino Deo suo.
18 And the rest of the matters of Manasseh, and his prayer unto his God, and the matters of the seers, those speaking unto him in the name of Jehovah, God of Israel, lo, they are [on the book of] the matters 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 and his prayer, and his entreaty, and all his sin, and his trespass, and the places in which he had built high places, and established the shrines and the graven images before his being humbled, lo, they are written beside the matters of Hozai.
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 And Manasseh lieth with his fathers, and they bury him in his own house, and reign doth Amon his son in his stead.
Dormivit ergo Manasses cum patribus suis, et sepelierunt eum in domo sua: regnavitque pro eo filius eius Amon.
21 A son of twenty and two years [is] Amon in his reigning, and two years he hath reigned in Jerusalem,
Viginti duorum annorum erat Amon cum regnare cœpisset, et duobus annis regnavit in Ierusalem.
22 and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, as did Manasseh his father, and to all the graven images that Manasseh his father had made hath Amon sacrificed, and serveth them,
Fecitque malum in conspectu Domini, sicut fecerat Manasses pater eius: et cunctis idolis, quæ Manasses fuerat fabricatus, immolavit atque servivit.
23 and hath not been humbled before Jehovah, like the humbling of Manasseh his father, for Amon himself hath multiplied guilt.
Et non est reveritus faciem Domini, sicut reveritus est Manasses pater eius: et multo maiora deliquit.
24 And his servants conspire against him, and put him to death in his own house,
Cumque coniurassent adversus eum servi sui, interfecerunt eum in domo sua.
25 and the people of the land smite all those conspiring against king Amon, and the people of the land cause Josiah his son to reign in his stead.
Porro reliqua populi multitudo, cæsis iis, qui Amon percusserant, constituit regem Iosiam filium eius pro eo.
