Ii Regum 21

1 Duodecim annorum erat Manasses cum regnare coepisset, et quinquaginta quinque annis regnavit in Ierusalem: nomen matris eius Haphsiba.

A son of twelve years [is] Manasseh in his reigning, and fifty and five years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Hephzi-Bah;

2 Fecitque malum in conspectu Domini, iuxta idola Gentium, quas delevit Dominus a facie filiorum Israel.

and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, according to the abominations of the nations that Jehovah dispossessed from the presence of the sons of Israel,

3 Conversusque est, et aedificavit excelsa, quae dissipaverat Ezechias pater eius: et erexit aras Baal, et fecit lucos sicut fecerat Achab rex Israel, et adoravit omnem militiam caeli, et coluit eam.

and he turneth and buildeth the high places that Hezekiah his father destroyed, and raiseth altars for Baal, and maketh a shrine, as did Ahab king of Israel, and boweth himself to all the host of the heavens, and serveth them.

4 Extruxitque aras in domo Domini, de qua dixit Dominus: In Ierusalem ponam nomen meum.

And he hath built altars in the house of Jehovah, of which Jehovah said, 'In Jerusalem I put My name.'

5 Et extruxit altaria universae militiae caeli in duobus atriis templi Domini.

And he buildeth altars to all the host of the heavens in the two courts of the house of Jehovah;

6 Et traduxit filium suum per ignem: et ariolatus est, et observavit auguria, et fecit pythones, et aruspices multiplicavit, ut faceret malum coram Domino, et irritaret eum.

and he hath caused his son to pass through fire, and observed clouds, and used enchantment, and dealt with a familiar spirit and wizards; he hath multiplied to do the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah — to provoke to anger.

7 Posuit quoque idolum luci, quem fecerat in templo Domini, super quod locutus est Dominus ad David, et ad Salomonem filium eius: In templo hoc, et in Ierusalem, quam elegi de cunctis tribubus Israel, ponam nomen meum in sempiternum.

And he setteth the graven image of the shrine that he made in the house of which Jehovah 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;

8 Et ultra non faciam commoveri pedem Israel de terra, quam dedi patribus eorum: si tamen custodierint opere omnia quae praecepi eis, et universam legem, quam mandavit eis servus meus Moyses.

and I do not add to cause the foot of Israel to move from the ground that I gave to their fathers, only, if they observe to do according to all that I commanded them, and to all the law that My servant Moses commanded them.'

9 Illi vero non audierunt: sed seducti sunt a Manasse, ut facerent malum super Gentes, quas contrivit Dominus a facie filiorum Israel.

And they have not hearkened, and Manasseh causeth them to err, to do the evil thing above the nations that Jehovah destroyed from the presence of the sons of Israel.

10 Locutusque est Dominus in manu servorum suorum Prophetarum, dicens:

And Jehovah speaketh by the hand of his servants the prophets, saying,

11 Quia fecit Manasses rex Iuda abominationes istas pessimas, super omnia quae fecerunt Amorrhaei ante eum, et peccare fecit etiam Iudam in immunditiis suis:

'Because that Manasseh king of Judah hath done these abominations — he hath done evil above all that the Amorites have done who [are] before him, and causeth also Judah to sin by his idols;

12 propterea haec dicit Dominus Deus Israel: Ecce ego inducam mala super Ierusalem et Iudam: ut quicumque audierit, tinniant ambae aures eius.

therefore thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, Lo, I am bringing in evil on Jerusalem and Judah, that whoever heareth of it, tingle do his two ears.

13 Et extendam super Ierusalem funiculum Samariae, et pondus domus Achab: et delebo Ierusalem, sicut deleri solent tabulae: et delens vertam, et ducam crebrius stylum super faciem eius.

And I have stretched out over Jerusalem the line of Samaria, and the plummet of the house of Ahab, and wiped Jerusalem as one wipeth the dish — he hath wiped, and hath turned [it] on its face.

14 Dimittam vero reliquias hereditatis meae, et tradam eas in manus inimicorum eius: eruntque in vastitatem, et in rapinam cunctis adversariis suis:

'And I have left the remnant of Mine inheritance, and given them into the hand of their enemies, and they have been for a prey and for a spoil to all their enemies,

15 eo quod fecerint malum coram me, et perseveraverint irritantes me, ex die qua egressi sunt patres eorum ex Aegypto, usque ad hanc diem.

because that they have done the evil thing in Mine eyes, and are provoking Me to anger from the day that their fathers came out of Egypt, even unto this day.'

16 Insuper et sanguinem innoxium fudit Manasses multum nimis, donec impleret Ierusalem usque ad os: absque peccatis suis, quibus peccare fecit Iudam, ut faceret malum coram Domino.

And also, innocent blood hath Manasseh shed very much, till that he hath filled Jerusalem — mouth to mouth; apart from his sin that he hath caused Judah to sin, to do the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah.

17 Reliqua autem sermonum Manasse, ut universa quae fecit, et peccatum eius, quod peccavit, nonne haec scripta sunt in Libro sermonum dierum regum Iuda?

And the rest of the matters of Manasseh, and all that he did, and his sin that he sinned, are they not written on the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Judah?

18 Dormivitque Manasses cum patribus suis, et sepultus est in horto domus suae, in horto Oza: et regnavit Amon filius eius pro eo.

And Manasseh lieth with his fathers, and is buried in the garden of his house, in the garden of Uzza, and reign doth Amon his son in his stead.

19 Viginti duorum annorum erat Amon cum regnare coepisset: duobus quoque annis regnavit in Ierusalem. nomen matris eius Messalemeth filia Harus de Ieteba.

A son of twenty and two years [is] Amon in his reigning, and two years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Meshullemeth daughter of Haruz of Jotbah,

20 Fecitque malum in conspectu Domini, sicut fecerat Manasses pater eius.

and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, as did Manasseh his father,

21 Et ambulavit in omni via, per quam ambulaverat pater eius: servivitque immunditiis, quibus servierat pater eius, et adoravit eas,

and walketh in all the way that his father walked in, and serveth the idols that his father served, and boweth himself to them,

22 et dereliquit Dominum Deum patrum suorum, et non ambulavit in via Domini.

and forsaketh Jehovah, God of his fathers, and hath not walked in the way of Jehovah.

23 Tetenderuntque ei insidias servi sui, et interfecerunt regem in domo sua.

And the servants of Amon conspire against him, and put the king to death in his own house,

24 Percussit autem populus terrae omnes, qui coniuraverant contra regem Amon: et constituerunt sibi regem Iosiam filium eius pro eo.

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.

25 Reliqua autem sermonum Amon quae fecit, nonne haec scripta sunt in Libro sermonum dierum regum Iuda?

And the rest of the matters of Amon that he did, are they not written on the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Judah?

26 Sepelieruntque eum in sepulchro suo, in horto Oza: et regnavit Iosias filius eius pro eo.

and [one] burieth him in his burying-place in the garden of Uzza, and reign doth Josiah his son in his stead.
