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.

Young’s Literal Translation

2 Chronicles 33 (YLT)

[1] A son of twelve years is Manasseh in his reigning, and fifty and five years he hath reigned in Jerusalem;
[2] and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, like the abominations of the nations that Jehovah dispossessed from the presence of the sons of Israel,
[3] and he turneth and buildeth the high places that Hezekiah his father hath broken down, and raiseth altars for Baalim, and maketh shrines, and boweth himself to all the host of the heavens, and serveth them.
[4] And he hath built altars in the house of Jehovah of which Jehovah had said, ‘In Jerusalem is My name to the age.’
[5] And he buildeth altars to all the host of the heavens in the two courts of the house of Jehovah.
[6] And he hath caused his sons to pass over through fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom, and observed clouds and used enchantments and witchcraft, and dealt with a familiar spirit, and a wizard; he hath multiplied to do the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, to provoke him to anger.
[7] And he placeth the graven image of the idol that he made in the house of God, of which God said unto David, and unto Solomon his son, ‘In this house, and in Jerusalem that I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, I put My name to the age,
[8] and I add not to turn aside the foot of Israel from off the ground that I appointed to your fathers, only, if they watch to do all that I have commanded them-to all the law, and the statutes, and the ordinances by the hand of Moses.’
[9] And Manasseh maketh Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to err, to do evil above the nations that Jehovah destroyed from the presence of the sons of Israel.
[10] And Jehovah speaketh unto Manasseh and unto his people, and they have not attended,
[11] and Jehovah bringeth in against them the heads of the host that the king of Asshur hath, and they capture Manasseh among the thickets, and bind him with brazen fetters, and cause him to go to Babylon.
[12] And when he is in distress he hath appeased the face of Jehovah his God, and is humbled exceedingly before the God of his fathers,
[13] and prayeth unto Him, and He is entreated of him, and heareth his supplication, and bringeth him back to Jerusalem, to his kingdom, and Manasseh knoweth that Jehovah-He is God.
[14] And after this he hath built an outer wall to the city of David, on the west of Gihon, in the valley, and at the entering in at the fish-gate, and it hath gone round to the tower, and he maketh it exceeding high, and he putteth heads of the force in all the cities of the bulwarks in Judah.
[15] And he turneth aside the gods of the stranger, and the idol, out of the house of Jehovah, and all the altars that he had built in the mount of the house of Jehovah and in Jerusalem, and casteth them to the outside of the city.
[16] And he buildeth the altar of Jehovah, and sacrificeth upon it sacrifices of peace-offerings and thank-offering, and saith to Judah to serve Jehovah, God of Israel;
[17] but still the people are sacrificing in high places, only-to Jehovah their God.
[18] And the rest of the matters of Manasseh, and his prayer unto his God, and the matters of the seers, those speaking unto him in the name of Jehovah, God of Israel, lo, they are on the book of the matters of the kings of Israel;
[19] and his prayer, and his entreaty, and all his sin, and his trespass, and the places in which he had built high places, and established the shrines and the graven images before his being humbled, lo, they are written beside the matters of Hozai.
[20] And Manasseh lieth with his fathers, and they bury him in his own house, and reign doth Amon his son in his stead.
[21] A son of twenty and two years is Amon in his reigning, and two years he hath reigned in Jerusalem,
[22] and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, as did Manasseh his father, and to all the graven images that Manasseh his father had made hath Amon sacrificed, and serveth them,
[23] and hath not been humbled before Jehovah, like the humbling of Manasseh his father, for Amon himself hath multiplied guilt.
[24] And his servants conspire against him, and put him to death in his own house,
[25] and the people of the land smite all those conspiring against king Amon, and the people of the land cause Josiah his son to reign in his stead.
