كَانَ مَنَسَّى ٱبْنَ ٱثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً حِينَ مَلَكَ، وَمَلَكَ خَمْسًا وَخَمْسِينَ سَنَةً فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ. ١ 1
Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign; he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem.
وَعَمِلَ ٱلشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ حَسَبَ رَجَاسَاتِ ٱلْأُمَمِ ٱلَّذِينَ طَرَدَهُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ مِنْ أَمَامِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. ٢ 2
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.
وَعَادَ فَبَنَى ٱلْمُرْتَفَعَاتِ ٱلَّتِي هَدَمَهَا حَزَقِيَّا أَبُوهُ، وَأَقَامَ مَذَابِحَ لِلْبَعْلِيمِ، وَعَمِلَ سَوَارِيَ وَسَجَدَ لِكُلِّ جُنْدِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ وَعَبَدَهَا. ٣ 3
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.
وَبَنَى مَذَابِحَ فِي بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّذِي قَالَ عَنْهُ ٱلرَّبُّ: «فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ يَكُونُ ٱسْمِي إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ». ٤ 4
Manasseh built altars in the house of Yahweh, although Yahweh had commanded, “It is in Jerusalem that my name will be forever.”
وَبَنَى مَذَابِحَ لِكُلِّ جُنْدِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ فِي دَارَيْ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ. ٥ 5
He built altars for all the stars of heaven in the two courtyards of the house of Yahweh.
وَعَبَّرَ بَنِيهِ فِي ٱلنَّارِ فِي وَادِي ٱبْنِ هِنُّومَ، وَعَافَ وَتَفَاءَلَ وَسَحَرَ، وَٱسْتَخْدَمَ جَانًّا وَتَابِعَةً، وَأَكْثَرَ عَمَلَ ٱلشَّرِّ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ لِإِغَاظَتِهِ. ٦ 6
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.
وَوَضَعَ تِمْثَالَ ٱلشَّكْلِ ٱلَّذِي عَمِلَهُ فِي بَيْتِ ٱللهِ ٱلَّذِي قَالَ ٱللهُ عَنْهُ لِدَاوُدَ وَلِسُلَيْمَانَ ٱبْنِهِ: «فِي هَذَا ٱلْبَيْتِ وَفِي أُورُشَلِيمَ ٱلَّتِي ٱخْتَرْتُ مِنْ جَمِيعِ أَسْبَاطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ أَضَعُ ٱسْمِي إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ. ٧ 7
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.
وَلَا أَعُودُ أُزَحْزِحُ رِجْلَ إِسْرَائِيلَ عَنِ ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي عَيَّنْتُ لِآبَائِهِمْ، وَذَلِكَ إِذَا حَفِظُوا وَعَمِلُوا كُلَّ مَا أَوْصَيْتُهُمْ بِهِ، كُلَّ ٱلشَّرِيعَةِ وَٱلْفَرَائِضِ وَٱلْأَحْكَامِ عَنْ يَدِ مُوسَى». ٨ 8
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.”
وَلَكِنْ مَنَسَّى أَضَلَّ يَهُوذَا وَسُكَّانَ أُورُشَلِيمَ لِيَعْمَلُوا أَشَرَّ مِنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ ٱلَّذِينَ طَرَدَهُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ مِنْ أَمَامِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. ٩ 9
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.
وَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مَنَسَّى وَشَعْبَهُ فَلَمْ يُصْغُوا. ١٠ 10
Yahweh spoke to Manasseh, and to his people, but they paid no attention.
فَجَلَبَ ٱلرَّبُّ عَلَيْهِمْ رُؤَسَاءَ الجُنْدِ ٱلَّذِينَ لِمَلِكِ أَشُّورَ، فَأَخَذُوا مَنَسَّى بِخِزَامَةٍ وَقَيَّدُوهُ بِسَلَاسِلِ نُحَاسٍ وَذَهَبُوا بِهِ إِلَى بَابِلَ. ١١ 11
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.
وَلَمَّا تَضَايَقَ طَلَبَ وَجْهَ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِهِ، وَتَوَاضَعَ جِدًّا أَمَامَ إِلَهِ آبَائِهِ، ١٢ 12
When Manasseh was in distress, he implored Yahweh, his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his ancestors.
وَصَلَّى إِلَيْهِ فَٱسْتَجَابَ لَهُ وَسَمِعَ تَضَرُّعَهُ، وَرَدَّهُ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ إِلَى مَمْلَكَتِهِ. فَعَلِمَ مَنَسَّى أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ هُوَ ٱللهُ. ١٣ 13
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.
وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ بَنَى سُورًا خَارِجَ مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ غَرْبًا إِلَى جِيحُونَ فِي ٱلْوَادِي، وَإِلَى مَدْخَلِ بَابِ ٱلسَّمَكِ، وَحَوَّطَ ٱلْأَكَمَةَ بِسُورٍ وَعَلَّاهُ جِدًّا. وَوَضَعَ رُؤَسَاءَ جُيُوشٍ فِي جَمِيعِ ٱلْمُدُنِ ٱلْحَصِينَةِ فِي يَهُوذَا. ١٤ 14
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.
وَأَزَالَ ٱلْآلِهَةَ ٱلْغَرِيبَةَ وَٱلْأَشْبَاهَ مِنْ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَجَمِيعَ ٱلْمَذَابِحِ ٱلَّتِي بَنَاهَا فِي جَبَلِ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَفِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَطَرَحَهَا خَارِجَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ. ١٥ 15
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.
وَرَمَّمَ مَذْبَحَ ٱلرَّبِّ وَذَبَحَ عَلَيْهِ ذَبَائِحَ سَلَامَةٍ وَشُكْرٍ، وَأَمَرَ يَهُوذَا أَنْ يَعْبُدُوا ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَ إِسْرَائِيلَ. ١٦ 16
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.
إِلَّا أَنَّ ٱلشَّعْبَ كَانُوا بَعْدُ يَذْبَحُونَ عَلَى ٱلْمُرْتَفَعَاتِ، إِنَّمَا لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِهِمْ. ١٧ 17
However, the people still sacrificed at the high places, but only to Yahweh, their God.
وَبَقِيَّةُ أُمُورِ مَنَسَّى وَصَلَاتُهُ إِلَى إِلَهِهِ، وَكَلَامُ ٱلرَّائِينَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَلَّمُوهُ بِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، هَا هِيَ فِي أَخْبَارِ مُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. ١٨ 18
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.
وَصَلَاتُهُ وَالِٱسْتِجَابَةُ لَهُ، وَكُلُّ خَطَايَاهُ وَخِيَانَتُهُ وَٱلْأَمَاكِنُ ٱلَّتِي بَنَى فِيهَا مُرْتَفَعَاتٍ وَأَقَامَ سَوَارِيَ وَتَمَاثِيلَ قَبْلَ تَوَاضُعِهِ، هَا هِيَ مَكْتُوبَةٌ فِي أَخْبَارِ ٱلرَّائِينَ. ١٩ 19
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.
ثُمَّ ٱضْطَجَعَ مَنَسَّى مَعَ آبَائِهِ فَدَفَنُوهُ فِي بَيْتِهِ، وَمَلَكَ آمُونُ ٱبْنُهُ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ. ٢٠ 20
So Manasseh slept with his ancestors, and they buried him in his own house. Amon, his son, became king in his place.
كَانَ آمُونُ ٱبْنَ ٱثْنَتَيْنِ وَعِشْرِينَ سَنَةً حِينَ مَلَكَ، وَمَلَكَ سَنَتَيْنِ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ. ٢١ 21
Amon was twenty-two years old when he began to reign; he reigned two years in Jerusalem.
وَعَمِلَ ٱلشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ كَمَا عَمِلَ مَنَسَّى أَبُوهُ، وَذَبَحَ آمُونُ لِجَمِيعِ ٱلتَّمَاثِيلِ ٱلَّتِي عَمِلَ مَنَسَّى أَبُوهُ وَعَبَدَهَا. ٢٢ 22
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.
وَلَمْ يَتَوَاضَعْ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ كَمَا تَوَاضَعَ مَنَسَّى أَبُوهُ، بَلِ ٱزْدَادَ آمُونُ إِثْمًا. ٢٣ 23
He did not humble himself before Yahweh, as Manasseh his father had done. Instead, this same Amon trespassed more and more.
وَفَتَنَ عَلَيْهِ عَبِيدُهُ وَقَتَلُوهُ فِي بَيْتِهِ. ٢٤ 24
His servants conspired against him and put him to death in his own house.
وَقَتَلَ شَعْبُ ٱلْأَرْضِ جَمِيعَ ٱلْفَاتِنِينَ عَلَى ٱلْمَلِكِ آمُونَ، وَمَلَّكَ شَعْبُ ٱلْأَرْضِ يُوشِيَّا ٱبْنَهُ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ. ٢٥ 25
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.
