Manasseh was twelue yeere olde when he began to reigne, and reigned fiftie and fiue yeere in Ierusalem: his mothers name also was Hephzi-bah.
2 Ewɔ nu si nye vɔ̃ le Yehowa ŋkume eye wòdze dukɔ siwo Yehowa nya le Israelviwo ŋgɔ ƒe ŋunyɔnuwo wɔwɔ yome.
And he did euill in the sight of the Lord after the abomination of the heathen, whom the Lord had cast out before the children of Israel.
3 Egbugbɔ nuxeƒe siwo fofoa, Hezekia gbã la tu. Hekpe ɖe esiawo ŋu la, etu vɔsamlekpuiwo na Baal eye wòli aƒeli abe ale si Ahab, Israel fia, wɔ la ene. Ede ta agu na dziƒonuwo katã eye wòsubɔ wo.
For he went backe and built the hie places, which Hezekiah his father had destroyed: and he erected vp altars for Baal, and made a groue, as did Ahab King of Israel, and worshipped all the hoste of heauen and serued them.
4 Etu vɔsamlekpuiwo ɖe Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ me, teƒe si ŋu Yehowa gblɔ le be, “Yerusalem anye nye ŋkɔ ƒe nɔƒe.”
Also he built altars in the house of the Lord, of the which the Lord saide, In Ierusalem will I put my Name.
5 Le Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ ƒe xɔxɔnu eveawo la, eɖi vɔsamlekpuiwo na dziƒoŋunuwo.
And he built altars for al the hoste of ye heauen in the two courtes of the house of the Lord.

And he caused his sonnes to passe through the fire, and gaue him selfe to witchcraft and sorcerie, and he vsed them that had familiar spirits and were soothsayers, and did much euill in the sight of the Lord to anger him.
7 Manase li aƒeli si wòwɔ la ɖe gbedoxɔ la me, teƒe si tututu ŋu Yehowa ƒo nu tsoe na David kple Solomo esi wògblɔ be, “Matsɔ nye ŋkɔ aɖo gbedoxɔ sia me kple Yerusalem, du si metia tso Israel ƒe towo ƒe duwo katã me la ŋu tegbetegbe!
And he set the image of the groue, that he had made, in the house, whereof ye Lord had saide to Dauid and to Salomon his sonne, In this house and in Ierusalem, which I haue chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, will I put my Name for euer.
8 Eye nyemana Israel ƒe afɔ nage le anyigba si metsɔ na wo fofowo la dzi o, nenye be wolé se siwo katã mede na wo kple se siwo katã nye dɔla Mose de na wo la me ɖe asi, eye wowɔ wo dzi ko.”
Neither will I make the feete of Israel, mooue any more out of the lande, which I gaue their fathers: so that they will obserue and doe all that I haue commanded them, and according to all the Lawe that my seruant Moses commanded them.
9 Ke ameawo meɖo to Yehowa o eye Manase na wowɔ nu vɔ̃ wu dukɔ siwo ƒo xlã wo, togbɔ be Yehowa tsrɔ̃ dukɔ siawo le woƒe nu vɔ̃wo ta, esi Israelviwo ge ɖe anyigba la dzi gɔ̃ hã.
Yet they obeyed not, but Manasseh ledde them out of the way, to doe more wickedly then did the heathen people, whom the Lord destroyed before the children of Israel.
10 Yehowa ƒo nu to eƒe nyagblɔɖilawo dzi na ameawo be,
Therefore the Lord spake by his seruants the Prophets, saying,
11 “Esi Fia Manase wɔ nu vɔ̃ siawo eye wòvɔ̃ɖi wu Amoritɔwo, ame siwo nɔ anyigba la dzi tsã eye esi wòkplɔ Yuda de legbasubɔsubɔ me ta la,
Because that Manasseh King of Iudah hath done such abominations, and hath wrought more wickedly then al that the Amorites (which were before him) did, and hath made Iudah sinne also with his idoles,
12 Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu be mahe dzɔgbevɔ̃e va Yerusalem kple Yuda dzi ale gbegbe be ame sia ame si ase nu tso dzɔgbevɔ̃e sia ŋu la ƒe to me aɖi yeŋ kple vɔvɔ̃.
Therefore thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Beholde, I will bring an euill vpon Ierusalem and Iudah, that who so heareth of it, both his eares shall tingle.
13 Matsɔ dzidzeka si metsɔ dzidze Samaria kple Ahab ƒe aƒe la adzidze Yerusalem. Maklɔ Yerusalem abe ale si woklɔa agbae ene eye matrɔe atsyɔ anyi.
And I will stretch ouer Ierusalem the line of Samaria, and the plommet of the house of Ahab: and I will wipe Ierusalem, as a man wipeth a dish, which he wipeth, and turneth it vpside downe.
14 Gawu la, magbe nu le nye ame ʋɛ siwo asusɔ la gɔ̃ hã gbɔ eye matsɔ wo ade asi na woƒe futɔwo
And I will forsake the remnant of mine inheritance, and deliuer them into the hande of their enemies, and they shalbe robbed and spoyled of all their aduersaries,
15 elabena wowɔ nu vɔ̃ le nye ŋkume eye wodo dɔmedzoe nam tso esime mekplɔ wo tɔgbuiwo tso Egipte va se ɖe fifi.”
Because they haue done euil in my sight, and haue prouoked mee to anger, since the time their fathers came out of Egypt vntill this day.
16 Hekpe ɖe legbasubɔsubɔ si Yehowa lé fui, subɔsubɔ si me Manase he ameawo dee ŋu la, Manase wu ame maɖifɔ geɖewo eye ame siwo wòwu la ƒe kukuawo xɔ Yerusalem ƒe akpa sia akpa.
Moreouer Manasseh shed innocent blood exceeding much, till hee replenished Ierusalem from corner to corner, beside his sinne wherwith he made Iudah to sinne, and to doe euill in the sight of the Lord.
17 Woŋlɔ Manase ƒe fiaɖuɖu vɔ̃ɖi la ƒe ŋutinya mamlɛa kple nu siwo wòwɔ kpakple eƒe nu vɔ̃ la ɖe Yuda fiawo ƒe ŋutinyagbalẽwo me.

Amon was two and twentie yere olde, when he began to reigne, and hee reygned two yeere in Ierusalem: his mothers name also was Meshullemeth the daughter of Haruz of Iotbah.
20 Ewɔ nu vɔ̃ le Yehowa ŋkume abe fofoa, Manase, ene.
And he did euill in the sight of the Lord, as his father Manasseh did.
21 Ewɔ nu vɔ̃ siwo katã fofoa wɔ eye wòsubɔ legba siwo katã fofoa subɔ.
For hee walked in all the way that his father walked in, and serued the idoles that his father serued, and worshipped them.
