2 Chronicles 33
1 Manasseh [was] twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty and five years in Jerusalem:
Duodecim annorum erat Manasses cum regnare cœpisset, et quinquagintaquinque annis regnavit in Ierusalem.
2 But did [that which was] evil in the sight of the LORD, like the abominations of the heathen, whom the LORD had cast out before the children of Israel.
Fecit autem malum coram Domino iuxta abominationes gentium, quas subvertit Dominus coram filiis Israel:
3 For he built again the high places which Hezekiah his father had broken down; and he reared up altars for Baalim, and made groves, and worshiped all the host of heaven, and served 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 Also he built altars in the house of the LORD, of which the LORD had said, In Jerusalem shall my name be for ever.
Ædificavit quoque altaria in domo Domini, de qua dixerat Dominus: In Ierusalem erit nomen meum in æternum.
5 And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the LORD.
Ædificavit autem ea cuncto exercitui cæli in duobus atriis domus Domini.
6 And he caused his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom: also he observed times, and used enchantments, and used witchcraft, and dealt with a familiar spirit, and with wizards: he wrought much evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.
Transireque fecit filios suos per ignem in Vallebenennom: observabat somnia, sectabatur auguria, maleficis artibus inserviebat, habebat secum magos, et incantatores: multaque mala operatus est coram Domino ut irritaret eum.
7 And he set a carved image, the idol which he had made, in the house of God, of which God had said to David and to Solomon his son, In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen before all the tribes of Israel, will I put my name for ever:
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 Neither will I any more remove the foot of Israel from the land which I have appointed for your fathers; provided they will take heed to do all that I have commanded them, according to the whole 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 So Manasseh made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to err, [and] to do worse than the heathen, whom the LORD had destroyed before the children of Israel.
Igitur Manasses seduxit Iudam, et habitatores Ierusalem ut facerent malum super omnes gentes, quas subverterat Dominus a facie filiorum Israel.
10 And the LORD spoke to Manasseh, and to his people: but they would not hearken.
Locutusque est Dominus ad eum, et ad populum illius, et attendere noluerunt.
11 Wherefore the LORD brought upon them the captains of the army of the king of Assyria, who took Manasseh among the thorns, and bound him with fetters, and carried him to Babylon.
Idcirco superinduxit eis principes exercitus regis Assyriorum: ceperuntque Manassen, et vinctum catenis, atque compedibus duxerunt in Babylonem.
12 And when he was in affliction, he besought the LORD his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers,
Qui postquam coangustatus est, oravit Dominum Deum suum: et egit pœnitentiam valde coram Deo patrum suorum.
13 And prayed to him: and he was entreated by him, and heard his supplication, and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the LORD 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 Now after this, he built a wall without the city of David, on the west side of Gihon, in the valley, even to the entrance at the fish-gate, and compassed about Ophel, and raised it up a very great highth, and put captains of war in all the fortified cities of 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 took away the strange gods, and the idol out of the house of the LORD, and all the altars that he had built in the mount of the house of the LORD, and in Jerusalem, and cast [them] out 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 repaired the altar of the LORD, and sacrificed on it peace-offerings and thank-offerings, and commanded Judah to serve the LORD God of Israel.
Porro instauravit altare Domini, et immolavit super illud victimas, et pacifica, et laudem: præcepitque Iudæ ut serviret Domino Deo Israel.
17 Nevertheless, the people sacrificed still in the high places, [yet] to the LORD their God only.
Attamen adhuc populus immolabat in excelsis Domino Deo suo.
18 Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and his prayer to his God, and the words of the seers that spoke to him in the name of the LORD God of Israel, behold, they [are written] in the book 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 His prayer also, and [how God] was entreated by him, and all his sin, and his trespass, and the places in which he built high places, and set up groves and graven images, before he was humbled: behold, they [are] written among the sayings of the seers.
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 So Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they buried him in his own house: and Amon his son reigned in his stead.
Dormivit ergo Manasses cum patribus suis, et sepelierunt eum in domo sua: regnavitque pro eo filius eius Amon.
21 Amon [was] two and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned two years in Jerusalem.
Vigintiduorum annorum erat Amon cum regnare cœpisset, et duobus annis regnavit in Ierusalem.
22 But he did [that which was] evil in the sight of the LORD, as did Manasseh his father: for Amon sacrificed to all the carved images which Manasseh his father had made, and served them;
Fecitque malum in conspectu Domini, sicut fecerat Manasses pater eius: et cunctis idolis, quæ Manasses fuerat fabricatus, immolavit atque servivit.
23 And humbled not himself before the LORD, as Manasseh his father had humbled himself; but Amon trespassed more and more.
Et non est reveritus faciem Domini, sicut reveritus est Manasses pater eius: et multo maiora deliquit.
24 And his servants conspired against him, and slew him in his own house.
Cumque coniurassent adversus eum servi sui, interfecerunt eum in domo sua.
25 But the people of the land slew all them that had conspired against king Amon; and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his stead.
Porro reliqua populi multitudo, cæsis iis, qui Amon percusserant, constituit regem Iosiam filium eius pro eo.
