Ii Regum 21

1 duodecim annorum erat Manasses cum regnare coepisset et quinquaginta quinque annis regnavit in Hierusalem nomen matris eius Aphsiba

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 Israhel

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 Ahab rex Israhel 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 Hierusalem 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 transduxit filium suum per ignem et ariolatus est et observavit auguria et fecit pythones et aruspices multiplicavit ut faceret malum coram Domino et inritaret 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 quo locutus est Dominus ad David et ad Salomonem filium eius in templo hoc et in Hierusalem quam elegi de cunctis tribubus Israhel 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 Israhel de terra quam dedi patribus eorum sic tamen si custodierint opere omnia quae praecepi eis et universam legem quam mandavit eis servus meus Moses

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 Israhel

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 Amorrei ante eum et peccare fecit etiam Iudam in inmunditiis 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 Israhel ecce ego inducam mala super Hierusalem 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 Hierusalem funiculum Samariae et pondus domus Ahab et delebo Hierusalem sicut deleri solent tabulae delens vertam et ducam crebrius stilum 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 manu inimicorum eius eruntque in vastitate et rapina 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 inritantes me ex die qua egressi sunt patres eorum ex Aegypto usque ad diem hanc

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 Hierusalem 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 et 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 Aza 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 et duo annorum erat Amon cum regnare coepisset duobusque annis regnavit in Hierusalem nomen matris eius Mesallemeth filia Arus de Iethba

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 inmunditiis quibus servierat pater suus 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 Aza 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.
