1 Дванадесяти лет бе Манассиа, егда царствовати нача, и пятьдесят пять лет царствова во Иерусалиме:
Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign; he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem.
2 сотвори же лукавое пред Господем по всем мерзостем языческим, ихже истреби Господь от лица сынов Израилевых:
He did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh, like the disgusting things of the nations whom Yahweh had driven out before the people of Israel.
3 и возврати и созда высокая, яже раскопа Езекиа отец его, и сострои кумиры Ваалиму, и сотвори дубравы, и поклонися всему воинству небесному, и послужи им,
For he rebuilt the high places that his father Hezekiah had torn down, and he built altars for the Baals, he made Asherah poles, and he bowed down to all the stars of heaven and worshiped them.
4 и созда олтари в дому Господни, о немже глагола Господь: во Иерусалиме будет имя Мое во веки:
Manasseh built altars in the house of Yahweh, although Yahweh had commanded, “It is in Jerusalem that my name will be forever.”
5 созда же жертвенники всему воинству небесному во двою дворех дому Господня.
He built altars for all the stars of heaven in the two courtyards of the house of Yahweh.
6 Той же проведе чада своя чрез огнь во удоли Веенномли и вражаше (со жребии), и последоваше гаданием, и волхвованием служаше, и имеяше чревоволшебники и обаянники, и многа лукавая сотвори пред Господем, да прогневает Его:
In the Valley of Ben Hinnom he caused his sons to pass through the fire. He practiced sorcery, divination and he read omens, and he consulted with those who talked with the dead and with those who talked with spirits. Manasseh did much evil in the sight of Yahweh, and he provoked him to anger.
7 истуканы же и слиянны образы сотвори и постави в дому Божии, о немже глагола Бог к Давиду и к Соломону сыну его: в дому сем и во Иерусалиме, егоже избрах от всех колен Израилевых, положу имя Мое во век,
The carved figure he had made, he placed it in the house of God. It was about this house that God had spoken to David and Solomon his son; he had said, “It is in this house and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen from all the tribes of Israel, that I will put my name forever.
8 и не приложу подвигнути ногу Израилеву от земли, юже предах отцем их, токмо аще сохранят сотворити вся, яже повелех им, по всему закону и повелением и судбам, рукою Моисеовою.
I will not move the people of Israel any more out of the land that I assigned to their ancestors, if they will only be careful to keep all that I have commanded them, following all the law, statutes, and decrees which I gave them through Moses.”
9 И прельсти Манассиа Иуду и живущих во Иерусалиме, да сотворят лукавое паче всех язык, ихже испроверже Господь от лица сынов Израилевых.
Manasseh led Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to do evil even more than the nations that Yahweh had destroyed before the people of Israel.
10 И глагола Господь к Манассии и к людем его, и не послушаша.
Yahweh spoke to Manasseh, and to his people, but they paid no attention.
11 И наведе Господь на них началники воев царя Ассирийска, и яша Манассию во узах, и связаша его оковы ножными, и отведоша в Вавилон.
So Yahweh brought on them the commanders of the army of the king of Assyria, who took Manasseh in chains, bound him with fetters, and took him off to Babylon.
12 И егда озлоблен бысть, взыска лице Господа Бога своего, и смирися зело пред лицем Бога отец своих,
When Manasseh was in distress, he implored Yahweh, his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his ancestors.
13 и помолися к Нему и послуша его, и услыша вопль его, и возврати его во Иерусалим на царство его: и позна Манассиа, яко Господь Той есть Бог.
He prayed to him; and God was begged by him, and God heard his begging and brought him back to Jerusalem, into his kingship. Then Manasseh knew that Yahweh was God.
14 И по сих созда стену вне града Давидова от Ливы к югу в потоце и ко входу врат Рыбных, исходящым вратами сущими окрест в высоту, и возвыси зело: и постави началники воем во всех градех Иудиных стенатых,
After this, Manasseh built an outer wall to the city of David, on the west side of Gihon, in the valley, to the entrance at the Fish Gate. He surrounded the hill of Ophel with it and raised the wall up to a very great height. He put courageous commanders in all the fortified cities of Judah.
15 и отят боги чуждыя и идолы от дому Господня, и вся олтари, яже созда в горе дому Господня и во Иерусалиме, и изверже вся вон из града.
He took away the foreign gods, the idol out of the house of Yahweh, and all the altars that he had built on the mount of the house of Yahweh and in Jerusalem, and threw them out of the city.
16 И паки воздвиже олтарь Господень, и пожре на том жертву спасения и хваления, и заповеда Иуде, да служат Господу Богу Израилеву.
He rebuilt the altar of Yahweh and offered on it sacrifices of fellowship offerings and thank offerings; he commanded Judah to serve Yahweh, the God of Israel.
17 Но еще людие жряху на высоких, обаче Господу Богу своему.
However, the people still sacrificed at the high places, but only to Yahweh, their God.
18 Прочая же словес Манассииных, и молитва его, яже к Богу, и словеса провидящих, иже глаголаху к нему во имя Господа Бога Израилева,
As to the other matters concerning Manasseh, his prayer to his God, and the words of the seers who spoke to him in the name of Yahweh, the God of Israel, behold, they are written among the deeds of the kings of Israel.
19 се, во словесех молитвы его, и яко услыша его, и вси греси его и отступления его, и места, на нихже созида высокая, и сотвори тамо Дубравы и изваянная, прежде неже обратитися ему, се, писана суть во словесех провидящих.
In that account there is history of his prayer, and how God was moved by it. There is also an account of all his sin and his trespasses, and the places where he had built high places and set up the Asherah poles and the carved figures, before he humbled himself—they are written about in the Chronicles of the Seers.
20 Успе же Манассиа со отцы своими, и погребоша его в саду дому его. И воцарися вместо его сын его Амон.
So Manasseh slept with his ancestors, and they buried him in his own house. Amon, his son, became king in his place.
21 Двадесяти дву лет бе Амон, егда царствовати нача, и два лета царствова во Иерусалиме,
Amon was twenty-two years old when he began to reign; he reigned two years in Jerusalem.
22 и сотвори лукавое пред Господем, якоже творяше Манассиа отец его, и всем идолом, ихже сотвори Манассиа отец его, пожре Амон и послужи им:
He did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh, as Manasseh, his father, had done. Amon sacrificed to all the carved figures that Manasseh his father had made, and he worshiped them.
23 и не смирися пред Господем, якоже смирися Манассиа отец его, зане сын его Амон умножи грехи.
He did not humble himself before Yahweh, as Manasseh his father had done. Instead, this same Amon trespassed more and more.
24 И нападоша нань раби его и убиша его в дому его.
His servants conspired against him and put him to death in his own house.
25 И убиша людие земли нападших на царя Амона, и поставиша людие земли царя Иосию сына его вместо его.
But the people of the land killed all those who had conspired against King Amon, and they made Josiah, his son, king in his place.
