2 Kings 21

NEW JERUSALEM	NOVA VULGATA
1 Manasseh was twelve years old when he came to the throne and he reigned for fifty-five years inJerusalem. His mother's name was Hephzibah.	1 Duodecim annorum erat Manasses, cum regnare coe pisset, et quinquaginta quinque annis regnavit in Ierusalem. Nomen matris eius Haphsiba.
2 He did what is displeasing to Yahweh, copying the disgusting practices of the nations whom Yahwehhad dispossessed for the Israelites.	2 Fecitque malum in conspectu Domini iuxta abominationes gentium, quas delevit Dominus a facie filiorum Israel.
3 He rebuilt the high places which his father Hezekiah had destroyed, he set up altars to Baal and madea sacred pole as Ahab king of Israel had done, he worshipped the whole array of heaven and served it.	3 Conversusque est et aedificavit excelsa, quae dissipaverat Ezechias pater eius, et erexit aras Baal et fecit palum, sicut fecerat Achab rex Israel, et adoravit omnem militiam caeli et coluit eam.
4 He built altars in the Temple of Yahweh of which Yahweh had said, 'Jerusalem is where I shal put myname.'	4 Exstruxitque aras in domo Domini, de qua dixit Dominus: “ In Ierusalem ponam nomen meum ”.
5 He built altars to the whole array of heaven in the two courts of the Temple of Yahweh.	5 Et exstruxit altaria universae militiae caeli in duobus atriis templi Domini
6 He caused his son to pass through the fire of sacrifice, he also practised soothsaying and divinationand set up mediums and spirit guides. He did very many more things displeasing to Yahweh, thus provoking hisanger.	6 et traduxit filium suum per ignem et hariolatus est et observavit auguria et constituit pythones et haruspices multiplicavit, ut faceret malum coram Domino et irritaret eum.
7 He had an image of Asherah carved and placed it inside the Temple of which Yahweh had said toDavid and his son Solomon, 'In this Temple and in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen out of al the tribes ofIsrael, I shal put my Name for ever.	7 Posuit quoque palum Aserae, quem fecerat, in templo, super quo locutus est Dominus ad David et ad Salomonem filium eius: “ In templo hoc et in Ierusalem, quam elegi de cunctis tribubus Israel, ponam nomen meum in sempiternum;
8 Nor shal I ever again set Israel's footsteps wandering outside the country which I gave to theirancestors, provided they are careful to observe all I have commanded them as laid down in the whole Law whichmy servant Moses prescribed for them.'	8 et ultra non faciam commoveri pedem Israel de terra, quam dedi patribus eorum, sic tamen si custodierint opere omnia, quae praecepi eis, et universam legem, quam mandavit eis servus meus Moyses ”.
9 But they would not listen, and Manasseh misled them into doing worse things than the nations whomYahweh had destroyed for the Israelites.	9 Illi vero non audierunt, sed seducti sunt a Manasse, ut facerent malum plus quam gentes, quas contrivit Dominus a facie filiorum Israel.
10 Then Yahweh spoke through his servants the prophets as fol ows,	10 Locutusque est Dominus in manu servorum suorum prophetarum dicens:
11 'Since Manasseh king of Judah has done these shameful deeds, doing more wicked deeds thananything which the Amorites did before him, and has led Judah too into sin with his idols,	11 “ Quia fecit Manasses rex Iudae abominationes istas pessimas super omnia, quae fecerunt Amorraei ante eum, et peccare fecit etiam Iudam in idolis suis,
12 Yahweh, God of Israel, says this, "Look, I shall bring such disaster on Jerusalem and Judah as wilmake the ears of al who hear of it tingle.	12 propterea haec dicit Dominus, Deus Israel: Ecce ego inducam mala super Ierusalem et Iudam, ut quicumque audierit, tinniant ambae aures eius.
13 Over Jerusalem I shal stretch the same measuring line as over Samaria, the same plumb-rule as forthe House of Ahab; I shall scour Jerusalem as someone scours a dish and, having scoured it, turns it upsidedown.	13 Et extendam super Ierusalem funiculum Samariae et pondus domus Achab et extergam Ierusalem sicut qui extergit vas, extergit et convertit super faciem eius.
14 I shal cast away the remnant of my heritage, delivering them into the clutches of their enemies andmaking them the prey and booty of al their enemies,	14 Et proiciam reliquias hereditatis meae et tradam eas in manu inimicorum eius; eruntque in vastitate et rapina cunctis adversariis suis,
15 because they have done what is displeasing to me and have provoked my anger from the day theirancestors came out of Egypt until now." '	15 eo quod fecerint malum coram me et perseveraverint irritantes me ex die, qua egressi sunt patres eorum ex Aegypto, usque ad diem hanc ”.
16 Manasseh shed innocent blood, too, in such great quantity that he flooded Jerusalem from one end tothe other, besides the sins into which he led Judah by doing what is displeasing to Yahweh.	16 Insuper et sanguinem innoxium fudit Manasses multum nimis, donec impleret Ierusalem usque ad summum, absque peccatis suis, quibus peccare fecit Iudam, ut faceret malum coram Domino.
17 The rest of the history of Manasseh, his entire career, the sins he committed, is this not recorded inthe Book of the Annals of the Kings of Judah?	17 Reliqua autem gestorum Manasse et universa, quae fecit, et peccatum eius, quod peccavit, nonne haec scripta sunt in libro annalium regum Iudae?
18 Then Manasseh fel asleep with his ancestors and was buried in the garden of his palace, the Gardenof Uzza; his son Amon succeeded him.	18 Dormivitque Manasses cum patribus suis et sepultus est in horto domus suae, in horto Oza; et regnavit Amon filius eius pro eo.
19 Amon was twenty-two years old when he came to the throne, and he reigned for two years inJerusalem. His mother's name was Meshul emeth daughter of Haruz, of Jotbah.	19 Viginti et duo annorum erat Amon, cum regnare coepisset, duobusque annis regnavit in Ierusalem. Nomen matris eius Mesallemeth filia Harus de Ieteba.
20 He did what is displeasing to Yahweh, as Manasseh his father had done.	20 Fecitque malum in conspectu Domini, sicut fecerat Manasses pater eius,
21 In every respect he followed the example of his father, serving the idols which his father had served,and worshipping them.	21 et ambulavit in omni via, per quam ambulaverat pater eius; servivitque idolis, quibus servierat pater suus, et adoravit ea.
22 He abandoned Yahweh, God of his ancestors; he did not fol ow the way of Yahweh.	22 Et dereliquit Dominum, Deum patrum suorum et non ambulavit in via Domini.
23 Amon's retinue plotted against the king and kil ed him in his own palace.	23 Tetenderuntque ei insidias servi sui et interfecerunt regem in domo sua;
24 The people of the country, however, slaughtered all those who had plotted against King Amon andproclaimed his son Josiah as his successor.	24 percussit autem populus terrae omnes, qui coniuraverant contra regem Amon, et constituerunt sibi regem Iosiam filium eius pro eo.
25 The rest of the history of Amon, his entire career, is this not recorded in the Book of the Annals of theKings of Judah?	25 Reliqua autem gestorum Amon, quae fecit, nonne haec scripta sunt in libro annalium regum Iudae?
26 He was buried in his father's tomb in the Garden of Uzza; his son Josiah succeeded him.	26 Sepelieruntque eum in sepulcro suo in horto Oza; et regnavit Iosias filius eius pro eo.
