Ii Paralipomenon 33
1 Duodecim annorum erat Manasses cum regnare coepisset, et quinquagintaquinque annis regnavit in Ierusalem.
Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign; and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem.
2 Fecit autem malum coram Domino iuxta abominationes gentium, quas subvertit Dominus coram filiis Israel:
And he did evil in the sight of Jehovah, like the abominations of the nations that Jehovah had dispossessed from before the children of Israel.
3 et conversus instauravit excelsa, quae demolitus fuerat Ezechias pater eius: construxitque aras Baalim, et fecit lucos, et adoravit omnem militiam caeli, et coluit eam.
And he built again the high places that Hezekiah his father had broken down; and he reared up altars to the Baals, and made Asherahs, and worshipped all the host of heaven and served them.
4 Aedificavit quoque altaria in domo Domini, de qua dixerat Dominus: In Ierusalem erit nomen meum in aeternum.
And he built altars in the house of Jehovah, of which Jehovah had said, In Jerusalem shall my name be for ever.
5 Aedificavit autem ea cuncto exercitui caeli in duobus atriis domus Domini.
And he built altars to all the host of heaven in both courts of the house of Jehovah.
6 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.
He also caused his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom; and he used magic and divination and sorcery, and appointed necromancers and soothsayers: he wrought evil beyond measure in the sight of Jehovah, to provoke him to anger.
7 Sculptile quoque, et conflatile signum posuit in domo Domini, de qua locutus est Dominus 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.
And he set the graven image of the idol that 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 out of all the tribes of Israel, will I put my name for ever;
8 Et moveri non faciam pedem Israel de terra, quam tradidi patribus eorum: ita dumtaxat si custodierint facere quae praecepi eis, cunctamque legem, et ceremonias, atque iudicia per manum Moysi.
neither will I any more remove the foot of Israel from out of the land that I have appointed to your fathers; if they will only take heed to do all that I commanded them through Moses, according to all the law and the statutes and the ordinances.
9 Igitur Manasses seduxit Iuda, et habitatores Ierusalem ut facerent malum super omnes gentes, quas subverterat Dominus a facie filiorum Israel.
And Manasseh led Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem astray, to do more evil than the nations that Jehovah had destroyed from before the children of Israel.
10 Locutusque est Dominus ad eum, et ad populum illius, et attendere noluerunt.
And Jehovah spoke to Manasseh and to his people; but they did not hearken.
11 Idcirco superinduxit eis principes exercitus regis Assyriorum: ceperuntque Manassen, et vinctum catenis, atque compedibus duxerunt in Babylonem.
And Jehovah brought upon them the captains of the host of the king of Assyria, who took Manasseh with fetters, and bound him with chains of brass, and carried him to Babylon.
12 Qui postquam coangustatus est, oravit Dominum Deum suum: et egit poenitentiam valde coram Deo patrum suorum.
And when he was in affliction, he besought Jehovah his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers,
13 Deprecatusque est eum, et obsecravit intente: et exaudivit orationem eius, reduxitque eum Ierusalem in regnum suum, et cognovit Manasses quod Dominus ipse esset Deus.
and prayed to him. And he was intreated of him and heard his supplication, and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that Jehovah, he was God.
14 Post haec aedificavit murum extra civitatem David ad Occidentem Gihon in convalle, ab introitu portae piscium per circuitum usque ad Ophel, et exaltavit illum vehementer: constituitque principes exercitus in cunctis civitatibus Iuda munitis:
And after this he built the outer wall of the city of David, on the west, toward Gihon, in the valley, even to the entrance of the fish-gate, and carried it round Ophel, and raised it up a very great height; and he put captains of war in all the fortified cities of Judah.
15 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.
And he removed the strange gods, and the idol out of the house of Jehovah, and all the altars that he had built on the mount of the house of Jehovah and in Jerusalem, and cast [them] out of the city.
16 Porro instauravit altare Domini, et immolavit super illud victimas, et pacifica, et laudem: praecepitque Iuda ut serviret Domino Deo Israel.
And he reinstated the altar of Jehovah, and sacrificed on it peace-offerings and thank-offerings, and commanded Judah to serve Jehovah the God of Israel.
17 Attamen adhuc populus immolabat in excelsis Domino Deo suo.
Nevertheless, the people sacrificed still on the high places, although to Jehovah their God only.
18 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.
And 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 Jehovah the God of Israel, behold, they [are written] in the acts of the kings of Israel.
19 Oratio quoque eius et exauditio, et cuncta peccata, atque contemptus, loca etiam, in quibus aedificavit excelsa, et fecit lucos, et statuas antequam ageret poenitentiam, scripta sunt in sermonibus Hozai.
And his prayer, and [how God] was intreated of him, and all his sin and his unfaithfulness, and the places in which he built high places, and set up Asherahs and graven images, before he was humbled, behold, they are written among the words of Hozai.
20 Dormivit ergo Manasses cum patribus suis, et sepelierunt eum in domo sua: regnavitque pro eo filius eius Amon.
And Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they buried him in his own house; and Amon his son reigned in his stead.
21 Vigintiduorum annorum erat Amon cum regnare coepisset, et duobus annis regnavit in Ierusalem.
Amon was twenty-two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned two years in Jerusalem.
22 Fecitque malum in conspectu Domini, sicut fecerat Manasses pater eius: et cunctis idolis, quae Manasses fuerat fabricatus, immolavit atque servivit.
And he did evil in the sight of Jehovah, as Manasseh his father had done; and Amon sacrificed to all the graven images that Manasseh his father had made, and served them.
23 Et non est reveritus faciem Domini, sicut reveritus est Manasses pater eius: et multo maiora deliquit.
And he did not humble himself before Jehovah, as Manasseh his father had humbled himself; for he, Amon, multiplied trespass.
24 Cumque coniurassent adversus eum servi sui, interfecerunt eum in domo sua.
And his servants conspired against him, and slew him in his own house.
25 Porro reliqua populi multitudo, caesis iis, qui Amon percusserant, constituit regem Iosiam filium eius pro eo.
But the people of the land smote all them that had conspired against king Amon; and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his stead.
