| 1 ων δεκα δυο ετων μανασσης εν τω βασιλευσαι αυτον και πεντηκοντα πεντε ετη εβασιλευσεν εν ιερουσαλημ | 1 Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem. |
| 2 και εποιησεν το πονηρον εναντιον κυριου απο παντων των βδελυγματων των εθνων ους εξωλεθρευσεν κυριος απο προσωπου των υιων ισραηλ | 2 He did what was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to the abominable practices of the nations whom the LORD drove out before the people of Israel. |
| 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 | 3 For he rebuilt the high places which his father Hezekiah had broken down, and erected altars to the Baals, and made Asherahs, and worshiped all the host of heaven, and served them. |
| 4 και ωκοδομησεν θυσιαστηρια εν οικω κυριου ου ειπεν κυριος εν ιερουσαλημ εσται το ονομα μου εις τον αιωνα | 4 And he built altars in the house of the LORD, of which the LORD had said, "In Jerusalem shall my name be for ever." |
| 5 και ωκοδομησεν θυσιαστηρια παση τη στρατια του ουρανου εν ταις δυσιν αυλαις οικου κυριου | 5 And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the LORD. |
| 6 και αυτος διηγαγεν τα τεκνα αυτου εν πυρι εν γαι-βαναι-εννομ και εκληδονιζετο και οιωνιζετο και εφαρμακευετο και εποιησεν εγγαστριμυθους και επαοιδους επληθυνεν του ποιησαι το πονηρον εναντιον κυριου του παροργισαι αυτον | 6 And he burned his sons as an offering in the valley of the son of Hinnom, and practiced soothsaying and augury and sorcery, and dealt with mediums and with wizards. He did much evil in the sight of the LORD, provoking him to anger. |
| 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 | 7 And the image of the idol which he had made he set in the house of God, 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 for ever; |
| 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 | 8 and I will no more remove the foot of Israel from the land which I appointed for your fathers, if only they will be careful to do all that I have commanded them, all the law, the statutes, and the ordinances given through Moses." |
| 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 | 9 Manasseh seduced Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that they did more evil than the nations whom the LORD destroyed before the people of Israel. |
| 10 και ελαλησεν κυριος επι μανασση και επι τον λαον αυτου και ουκ επηκουσαν | 10 The LORD spoke to Manasseh and to his people, but they gave no heed. |
| 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 | 11 Therefore the LORD brought upon them the commanders of the army of the king of Assyria, who took Manasseh with hooks and bound him with fetters of bronze and brought him to Babylon. |
| 12 και ως εθλιβη εζητησεν το προσωπον κυριου του θεου αυτου και εταπεινωθη σφοδρα απο προσωπου θεου των πατερων αυτου | 12 And when he was in distress he entreated the favor of the LORD his God and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers. |
| 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 | 13 He prayed to him, and God received his entreaty and heard his supplication and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the LORD was God. |
| 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 | 14 Afterwards he built an outer wall for the city of David west of Gihon, in the valley, and for the entrance into the Fish Gate, and carried it round Ophel, and raised it to a very great height; he also put commanders of the army in all the fortified cities in Judah. |
| 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 | 15 And he took away the foreign gods and the idol from the house of the LORD, and all the altars that he had built on the mountain of the house of the LORD and in Jerusalem, and he threw them outside of the city. |
| 16 και κατωρθωσεν το θυσιαστηριον κυριου και εθυσιασεν επ' αυτο θυσιαν σωτηριου και αινεσεως και ειπεν τω ιουδα του δουλευειν κυριω θεω ισραηλ | 16 He also restored the altar of the LORD and offered upon it sacrifices of peace offerings and of thanksgiving; and he commanded Judah to serve the LORD the God of Israel. |
| 17 πλην ο λαος ετι επι των υψηλων πλην κυριος ο θεος αυτων | 17 Nevertheless the people still sacrificed at the high places, but only to the LORD their God. |
| 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 | 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 the LORD the God of Israel, behold, they are in the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel. |
| 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 | 19 And his prayer, and how God received his entreaty, and all his sin and his faithlessness, and the sites on which he built high places and set up the Asherim and the images, before he humbled himself, behold, they are written in the Chronicles of the Seers. |
| 20 και εκοιμηθη μανασσης μετα των πατερων αυτου και εθαψαν αυτον εν παραδεισω οικου αυτου και εβασιλευσεν αντ' αυτου αμων υιος αυτου | 20 So Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they buried him in his house; and Amon his son reigned in his stead. |
| 21 ων εικοσι και δυο ετων αμων εν τω βασιλευειν αυτον και δυο ετη εβασιλευσεν εν ιερουσαλημ | 21 Amon was twenty-two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem. |
| 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 | 22 He did what was evil in the sight of the LORD, as Manasseh his father had done. Amon sacrificed to all the images that Manasseh his father had made, and served them. |
| 23 και ουκ εταπεινωθη εναντιον κυριου ως εταπεινωθη μανασσης ο πατηρ αυτου οτι υιος αυτου αμων επληθυνεν πλημμελειαν | 23 And he did not humble himself before the LORD, as Manasseh his father had humbled himself, but this Amon incurred guilt more and more. |
| 24 και επεθεντο αυτω οι παιδες αυτου και επαταξαν αυτον εν οικω αυτου | 24 And his servants conspired against him and killed him in his house. |
| 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 | 25 But the people of the land slew all those who had conspired against King Amon; and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his stead. |
