2 Chronicles 33 (WEBP)

[1] Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem.
[2] He did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, after the abominations of the nations whom Yahweh cast out before the children of Israel.
[3] For he built again the high places which Hezekiah his father had broken down; and he raised up altars for the Baals, made Asheroth, and worshiped all the army of the sky, and served them.
[4] He built altars in Yahweh’s house, of which Yahweh said, “My name shall be in Jerusalem forever.”
[5] He built altars for all the army of the sky in the two courts of Yahweh’s house.
[6] He also made his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom. He practiced sorcery, divination, and witchcraft, and dealt with those who had familiar spirits and with wizards. He did much evil in Yahweh’s sight, to provoke him to anger.
[7] He set the engraved image of the idol, which he had made, in God’s house, of which God 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, I will put my name forever.
[8] I will not any more remove the foot of Israel from off the land which I have appointed for your fathers, if only they will observe to do all that I have commanded them, even all the law, the statutes, and the ordinances given by Moses.”
[9] Manasseh seduced Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that they did more evil than did the nations whom Yahweh destroyed before the children of Israel.
[10] Yahweh spoke to Manasseh and to his people, but they didn’t listen.
[11] Therefore Yahweh brought on them the captains of the army of the king of Assyria, who took Manasseh in chains, bound him with fetters, and carried him to Babylon.
[12] When he was in distress, he begged Yahweh his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers.
[13] He 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 Yahweh was God.
[14] Now after this, he built an outer wall to David’s city on the west side of Gihon, in the valley, even to the entrance at the fish gate. He encircled Ophel with it, and raised it up to a very great height; and he put valiant captains in all the fortified cities of Judah.
[15] He took away the foreign gods and the idol out of Yahweh’s house, and all the altars that he had built in the mountain of Yahweh’s house and in Jerusalem, and cast them out of the city.
[16] He built up Yahweh’s altar, and offered sacrifices of peace offerings and of thanksgiving on it, and commanded Judah to serve Yahweh, the God of Israel.
[17] Nevertheless the people still sacrificed in the high places, but only to Yahweh their God.
[18] Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and 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 acts of the kings of Israel.
[19] His prayer also, and how God listened to his request, and all his sin and his trespass, and the places in which he built high places and set up the Asherah poles and the engraved images before he humbled himself: behold, they are written in the history of Hozai.
[20] So Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they buried him in his own house; and Amon his son reigned in his place.
[21] Amon was twenty-two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned two years in Jerusalem.
[22] He did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, as did Manasseh his father; and Amon sacrificed to all the engraved images which Manasseh his father had made, and served them.
[23] He didn’t humble himself before Yahweh, as Manasseh his father had humbled himself; but this same Amon trespassed more and more.
[24] His servants conspired against him, and put him to death in his own house.
[25] But the people of the land killed all those who had conspired against King Amon; and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his place.

()
[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:

[21] Amon was two and twenty years old when he began to reign, () and reigned () two years in Jerusalem.
[22] But he did () that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, as did () Manasseh his father: for Amon sacrificed () unto all the carved images which Manasseh his father had made, () and served () them;

[1] ων δεκα δυο ετων μανασσης εν τω βασιλευσαι αυτον και πεντηκοντα πεντε ετη εβασιλευσεν εν ιερουσαλημ
[2] και εποιησεν το πονηρον εναντιον κυριου απο παντων των βδελυγματων των εθνων ους εξωλεθρευσεν κυριος απο προσωπου των υιων ισραηλ
[3] και επεστρεψεν και ωκοδομησεν τα υψηλα α κατεσπασεν εζεκιας ο πατηρ αυτου και εστησεν στηλας ταις βααλιμ και εποιησεν αλση και προσεκυνησεν παση τη στρατια του ουρανου και εδουλευσεν αυτοις
[4] και ωκοδομησεν θυσιαστηρια εν οικω κυριου ου ειπεν κυριος εν ιερουσαλημ εσται το ονομα μου εις τον αιωνα
[5] και ωκοδομησεν θυσιαστηρια παση τη στρατια του ουρανου εν ταις δυσιν αυλαις οικου κυριου
[6] και αυτος διηγαγεν τα τεκνα αυτου εν πυρι εν γαιundefinedαναιundefinedννομ και εκληδονιζετο και οιωνιζετο και εφαρμακευετο και εποιησεν εγγαστριμυθους και επαοιδους επληθυνεν του ποιησαι το πονηρον εναντιον κυριου του παροργισαι αυτον
[7] και εθηκεν το γλυπτον και το χωνευτον εικονα ην εποιησεν εν οικω θεου ου ειπεν ο θεος προς δαυιδ και προς σαλωμων υιον αυτου εν τω οικω τουτω και ιερουσαλημ ην εξελεξαμην εκ πασων φυλων ισραηλ θησω το ονομα μου εις τον αιωνα
[8] και ου προσθησω σαλευσαι τον ποδα ισραηλ απο της γης ης εδωκα τοις πατρασιν αυτων πλην εαν φυλασσωνται του ποιησαι παντα α ενετειλαμην αυτοις κατα παντα τον νομον και τα προσταγματα και τα κριματα εν χειρι μωυση
[9] και επλανησεν μανασσης τον ιουδαν και τους κατοικουντας εν ιερουσαλημ του ποιησαι το πονηρον υπερ παντα τα εθνη α εξηρεν κυριος απο προσωπου υιων ισραηλ
[10] και ελαλησεν κυριος επι μανασση και επι τον λαον αυτου και ουκ επηκουσαν
[11] και ηγαγεν κυριος επ αυτους τους αρχοντας της δυναμεως βασιλεως ασσουρ και κατελαβον τον μανασση εν δεσμοις και εδησαν αυτον εν πεδαις και ηγαγον εις βαβυλωνα
[12] και ως εθλιβη εζητησεν το προσωπον κυριου του θεου αυτου και εταπεινωθη σφοδρα απο προσωπου θεου των πατερων αυτου
[13] και προσηυξατο προς αυτον και επηκουσεν αυτου και επηκουσεν της βοης αυτου και επεστρεψεν αυτον εις ιερουσαλημ επι την βασιλειαν αυτου και εγνω μανασσης οτι κυριος αυτος εστιν ο θεος
[14] και μετα ταυτα ωκοδομησεν τειχος εξω της πολεως δαυιδ απο λιβος κατα γιων εν τω χειμαρρω και εκπορευομενων την πυλην την κυκλοθεν και εις το οφλα και υψωσεν σφοδρα και κατεστησεν αρχοντας της δυναμεως εν πασαις ταις πολεσιν ταις τειχηρεσιν εν ιουδα
[15] και περιειλεν τους θεους τους αλλοτριους και το γλυπτον εξ οικου κυριου και παντα τα θυσιαστηρια α ωκοδομησεν εν ορει οικου κυριου και εν ιερουσαλημ και εξω της πολεως
[16] και κατωρθωσεν το θυσιαστηριον κυριου και εθυσιασεν επ αυτο θυσιαν σωτηριου και αινεσεως και ειπεν τω ιουδα του δουλευειν κυριω θεω ισραηλ
[17] πλην ο λαος ετι επι των υψηλων πλην κυριος ο θεος αυτων
[18] και τα λοιπα των λογων μανασση και η προσευχη αυτου η προς τον θεον και λογοι των ορωντων λαλουντων προς αυτον επ ονοματι κυριου θεου ισραηλ ιδου επι λογων
[19] προσευχης αυτου και ως επηκουσεν αυτου και πασαι αι αμαρτιαι αυτου και αι αποστασεις αυτου και οι τοποι εφ οις ωκοδομησεν τα υψηλα και εστησεν εκει αλση και γλυπτα προ του επιστρεψαι ιδου γεγραπται επι των λογων των ορωντων
[20] και εκοιμηθη μανασσης μετα των πατερων αυτου και εθαψαν αυτον εν παραδεισω οικου αυτου και εβασιλευσεν αντ αυτου αμων υιος αυτου
[21] ων εικοσι και δυο ετων αμων εν τω βασιλευειν αυτον και δυο ετη εβασιλευσεν εν ιερουσαλημ
[22] και εποιησεν το πονηρον ενωπιον κυριου ως εποιησεν μανασσης ο πατηρ αυτου και πασιν τοις ειδωλοις οις εποιησεν μανασσης ο πατηρ αυτου εθυεν αμων και εδουλευσεν αυτοις
[23] και ουκ εταπεινωθη εναντιον κυριου ως εταπεινωθη μανασσης ο πατηρ αυτου οτι υιος αυτου αμων επληθυνεν πλημμελειαν
[24] και επεθεντο αυτω οι παιδες αυτου και επαταξαν αυτον εν οικω αυτου
[25] και επαταξεν ο λαος της γης τους επιθεμενους επι τον βασιλεα αμων και εβασιλευσεν ο λαος της γης τον ιωσιαν υιον αυτου αντ αυτου
