ΠΑΡΑΛΕΙΠΟΜΕΝΩΝ Β´ - 2 Cronache - Chronicles II 33

GREEK BIBLE	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Δωδεκα ετων ηλικιας ητο ο Μανασσης οτε εβασιλευσε, και εβασιλευσε πεντηκοντα πεντε ετη εν Ιερουσαλημ.	1 Manasses was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem.
2 Και επραξε πονηρα ενωπιον του Κυριου, κατα τα βδελυγματα των εθνων, τα οποια εξεδιωξεν ο Κυριος απ' εμπροσθεν των υιων Ισραηλ?	2 And he did evil before the Lord, according to all the abominations of the nations, which the Lord cast out before the children of Israel:
3 και ανωκοδομησε τους υψηλους τοπους, τους οποιους Εζεκιας ο πατηρ αυτου κατεστρεψε, και ανηγειρε θυσιαστηρια εις τους Βααλειμ, και εκαμεν αλση και προσεκυνησε πασαν την στρατιαν του ουρανου και ελατρευσεν αυτα.	3 And he turned, and built again the high places which Ezechias his father had destroyed: and he built altars to Baalim, and made groves, and he adored all the host of heaven, and worshipped them.
4 Και ωκοδομησε θυσιαστηρια εν τω οικω του Κυριου, περι του οποιου ο Κυριος ειπεν, Εν Ιερουσαλημ θελει εισθαι το ονομα μου εις τον αιωνα.	4 He built also altars in the house of the Lord, whereof the Lord had said: In Jerusalem shall my name be for ever.
5 Και ωκοδομησε θυσιαστηρια εις πασαν την στρατιαν του ουρανου εντος των δυο αυλων του οικου του Κυριου.	5 And he built them for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the Lord.
6 Και αυτος διεβιβασε τους υιους αυτου δια του πυρος εν τη κοιλαδι του υιου του Εννομ? και προεμαντευε καιρους και εκαμνεν οιωνισμους και μαγειας και εσυστησεν ανταποκριτας δαιμονιων και επαοιδους? πολλα πονηρα επραξεν ενωπιον του Κυριου, δια να παροργιση αυτον.	6 And he made his sons to pass through the fire in the valley of Benennom: he observed dreams, followed divinations, gave himself up to magic arts, had with him magicians, and enchanters: and he wrought many evils before the Lord, to provoke him to anger.
7 Και εστησε το γλυπτον, την εικονα την οποιαν εκαμεν, εν τω οικω του Θεου, περι του οποιου ο Θεος ειπε προς τον Δαβιδ και προς τον Σολομωντα τον υιον αυτου, Εν τω οικω τουτω και εν Ιερουσαλημ, την οποιαν εξελεξα απο πασων των φυλων του Ισραηλ, θελω θεσει το ονομα μου εις τον αιωνα?	7 He set also a graven, and a molten statue 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 και δεν θελω μετασαλευσει τον ποδα του Ισραηλ απο της γης, την οποιαν παρεδωκα εις τους πατερας σας? εαν μονον προσεξωσι να καμνωσι παντα οσα προσεταξα εις αυτους, κατα παντα τον νομον και τα διαταγματα και τας κρισεις τας δοθεισας δια του Μωυσεως.	8 And I will not make the foot of Israel to be removed out of the land which I have delivered to their fathers: yet so if they will take heed to do what I hare commanded them, and all the law, and the ceremonies, and judgments by the hand of Moses.
9 Και επλανησεν ο Μανασσης τον Ιουδαν και τους κατοικους της Ιερουσαλημ, ωστε να πραττωσι πονηροτερα παρα τα εθνη, τα οποια ο Κυριος ηφανισεν απ' εμπροσθεν των υιων Ισραηλ.	9 So Manasses seduced Juda, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, to do evil beyond all the nations, which the Lord had destroyed before the face of the children of Israel.
10 Και ελαλησε Κυριος προς τον Μανασσην και προς τον λαον αυτου? πλην δεν εδωκαν ακροασιν.	10 And the Lord spoke to him, and to his people, and they would not hearken.
11 Δια τουτο εφερε κατ' αυτων ο Κυριος τους αρχοντας του στρατευματος του βασιλεως της Ασσυριας, και επιασαν τον Μανασσην μεταξυ των θαμνων και δεσαντες αυτον με αλυσεις, εφεραν αυτον εις Βαβυλωνα.	11 Therefore he brought upon them the captains of the army of the king of the Assyrians: and they took Manasses, and carried him bound with chains and fetters to Babylon.
12 Και ενω ητο εν θλιψει, ικετευσε Κυριον τον Θεον αυτου και εταπεινωθη σφοδρα ενωπιον του Θεου των πατερων αυτου,	12 And after that he was in distress he prayed to the Lord his God: and did penance exceedingly before the God of his fathers.
13 και προσηυχηθη εις αυτον? τοτε ηλεησεν αυτον και επηκουσε της δεησεως αυτου και επανεφερεν αυτον εις Ιερουσαλημ, εις το βασιλειον αυτου. Τοτε εγνωρισεν ο Μανασσης ετι ο Κυριος αυτος ειναι ο Θεος.	13 And he entreated him, and besought him earnestly: and he heard his prayer, and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom, and Manasses knew that the Lord was God.
14 Μετα δε ταυτα ωκοδομησε τειχος εξω της πολεως Δαβιδ, προς δυσμας του Γιων, εν τη κοιλαδι, εως της εισοδου της πυλης της ιχθυικης, και περιεκυκλωσε το Οφηλ και υψωσεν αυτο εις μεγα υψος, και εβαλε πολεμαρχους εν πασαις ταις ωχυρωμεναις πολεσι του Ιουδα.	14 After this he built a wall without the city of David, on the west side of Gihon in the valley, from the entering in of the fish gate round about to Ophel, and raised it up to a great height: and he appointed captains of the army in all the fenced cities of Juda:
15 Και αφηρεσε τους ξενους θεους και την εικονα απο του οικου του Κυριου και παντα τα θυσιαστηρια, τα οποια ωκοδομησεν εν τω ορει του οικου του Κυριου και εν Ιερουσαλημ? και ερριψεν αυτα εξω της πολεως.	15 And he took away the strange gods, and the idol out of the house of the Lord: the altars also which he had made in the mount of the house of the Lord, and in Jerusalem, and he cast them all out of the city.
16 Και ανωρθωσε το θυσιαστηριον του Κυριου και εθυσιασεν επ' αυτου θυσιας ειρηνικας και ευχαριστηριους, και προσεταξε τον Ιουδαν να λατρευη Κυριον τον Θεον του Ισραηλ.	16 And he repaired the altar of the Lord, and sacrificed upon it victims, and peace offerings, and praise: and he commanded Juda to serve the Lord the God of Israel.
17 Ο λαος ομως εθυσιαζεν ετι επι τους υψηλους τοπους, πλην μονον εις Κυριον τον Θεον αυτων.	17 Nevertheless the people still sacrificed in the high places to the Lord their God.
18 Αι δε λοιπαι πραξεις του Μανασση και η προσευχη αυτου η προς τον Θεον αυτου και οι λογοι των βλεποντων, οιτινες ελαλησαν προς αυτον εν ονοματι Κυριου του Θεου Ισραηλ, ιδου, ειναι γεγραμμεναι εν τοις χρονικοις των βασιλεων του Ισραηλ.	18 But the rest of the acts of Manasses, and his prayer to his God, and the words of the seers that spoke to him in the name of the Lord the God of Israel, are contained in the words of the kings of Israel.
19 Και η προσευχη αυτου, και πως εισηκουσθη, και πασαι αι αμαρτιαι αυτου και η αποστασια αυτου και τα μερη, οπου ωκοδομησεν υψηλους τοπους και εστησε τα αλση και τα γλυπτα, πριν ταπεινωθη, ιδου, ειναι γεγραμμενα εν τοις λογοις των βλεποντων.	19 His prayer also, and his being heard, and all his sins, and contempt, and places wherein he built high places, and set up groves, and statues before he did penance, are written in the words of Hozai.
20 Και εκοιμηθη ο Μανασσης μετα των πατερων αυτου, και εθαψαν αυτον εν τω οικω αυτου? εβασιλευσε δε αντ' αυτου Αμων ο υιος αυτου.	20 And Manasses slept with his fathers. and they buried him in his house: and his son Amen reigned in his stead.
21 Εικοσιδυο ετων ηλικιας ητο ο Αμων οτε εβασιλευσε, και εβασιλευσε δυο ετη εν Ιερουσαλημ.	21 Amen was two and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem.
22 Και επραξε πονηρα ενωπιον του Κυριου, καθως επραξε Μανασσης ο πατηρ αυτου? και εθυσιαζεν ο Αμων εις παντα τα γλυπτα, τα οποια Μανασσης ο πατηρ αυτου εκαμε, και ελατρευεν αυτα?	22 And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, as Manasses his father had done: and he sacrificed to all the idols which Manasses his father had made, and served them.
23 και δεν εταπεινωθη ενωπιον του Κυριου, καθως εταπεινωθη Μανασσης ο πατηρ αυτου? αλλ' αυτος ο Αμων ηνομησε μαλλον και μαλλον.	23 And he did not humble himself before the Lord, as Manasses his father had humbled himself, but committed far greater sins.
24 Και συνωμοσαν οι δουλοι αυτου κατ' αυτου και εθανατωσαν αυτον εν τω οικω αυτου.	24 And his servants conspired against him, and slew him in his own house.
25 Ο δε λαος της γης εθανατωσε παντας τους συνομοσαντας κατα του βασιλεως Αμων? και εκαμεν ο λαος της γης βασιλεα αντ' αυτου Ιωσιαν τον υιον αυτου.	25 But the rest of the multitude of the people slew them that had killed Amen, and made Josias his son king in his stead.
