NOVA VULGATA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Duodecim annorum erat Manasses, cum regnare coe pisset, et quinquaginta quinque annis regnavit in Ierusalem. Nomen matris eius Haphsiba.	1 Manasseh was twelve years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for fifty-five years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Hephzibah.
2 Fecitque malum in conspectu Domini iuxta abominationes gentium, quas delevit Dominus a facie filiorum Israel.	2 And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, in accord with the idols of the nations that the Lord destroyed before the face of the sons of Israel.
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.	3 And he turned away. And he built up the high places that his father, Hezekiah, had destroyed. And he erected altars to Baal, and he made sacred groves, just as Ahab, the king of Israel, had done. And he adored the entire army of heaven, and he served them.
4 Exstruxitque aras in domo Domini, de qua dixit Dominus: “ In Ierusalem ponam nomen meum ”.	4 And he constructed altars in the house of the Lord, about which the Lord said: “In Jerusalem, I will place my name.”
5 Et exstruxit altaria universae militiae caeli in duobus atriis templi Domini	5 And he constructed altars, for the entire army of heaven, within the two courts of the temple of the Lord.
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.	6 And he led his son through fire. And he used divinations, and observed omens, and appointed soothsayers, and multiplied diviners, so that he did evil before the Lord, and provoked him.
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;	7 Also, he set up an idol, of the sacred grove that he had made, in the temple of the Lord, about which the Lord said to David, and to his son Solomon: “In this temple, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, I will place my name forever.
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 ”.	8 And I will no longer cause the feet of Israel to be moved from the land that I gave to their fathers: if only they will take care to do all that I have instructed them, and the entire law that my servant Moses commanded to them.”
9 Illi vero non audierunt, sed seducti sunt a Manasse, ut facerent malum plus quam gentes, quas contrivit Dominus a facie filiorum Israel.	9 Yet truly, they did not listen. Instead, they were seduced by Manasseh, so that they did evil, more so than the nations that the Lord crushed before the face of the sons of Israel.
10 Locutusque est Dominus in manu servorum suorum prophetarum dicens:	10 And so the Lord spoke, by the hand of his servants, the prophets, saying:
11 “ Quia fecit Manasses rex Iudae abominationes istas pessimas super omnia, quae fecerunt Amorraei ante eum, et peccare fecit etiam Iudam in idolis suis,	11 “Since Manasseh, the king of Judah, has committed these wicked abominations, beyond all that the Amorites before him have done, and also has caused Judah to sin by his defilements,
12 propterea haec dicit Dominus, Deus Israel: Ecce ego inducam mala super Ierusalem et Iudam, ut quicumque audierit, tinniant ambae aures eius.	12 because of this, thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Behold, I will lead evils over Jerusalem and over Judah, such that, whoever will hear of these things, both his ears will ring.
13 Et extendam super Ierusalem funiculum Samariae et pondus domus Achab et extergam Ierusalem sicut qui extergit vas, extergit et convertit super faciem eius.	13 And I will extend the measuring line of Samaria over Jerusalem, with the scale of the house of Ahab. And I will erase Jerusalem, just as writing tablets are usually erased. And after erasing, I will turn it and repeatedly drag a stylus over its surface.
14 Et proiciam reliquias hereditatis meae et tradam eas in manu inimicorum eius; eruntque in vastitate et rapina cunctis adversariis suis,	14 And truly, I will send away the remnants of my inheritance, and I will deliver them into the hands of their enemies. And they will be devastated and plundered by all their adversaries.
15 eo quod fecerint malum coram me et perseveraverint irritantes me ex die, qua egressi sunt patres eorum ex Aegypto, usque ad diem hanc ”.	15 For they have done evil before me, and they have persevered in provoking me, from the day when their fathers departed from Egypt, even to this day.
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.	16 Moreover, Manasseh also has shed an exceedingly great amount of innocent blood, until he filled Jerusalem even to the mouth, aside from his sins by which he caused Judah to sin, so that they did evil before the Lord.”
17 Reliqua autem gestorum Manasse et universa, quae fecit, et peccatum eius, quod peccavit, nonne haec scripta sunt in libro annalium regum Iudae?	17 Now the rest of the words of Manasseh, and all that he did, and his sin that he sinned, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah?
18 Dormivitque Manasses cum patribus suis et sepultus est in horto domus suae, in horto Oza; et regnavit Amon filius eius pro eo.	18 And Manasseh slept with his fathers, and he was buried in the garden of his own house, in the garden of Uzza. And Amon, his son, reigned in his place.
19 Viginti et duo annorum erat Amon, cum regnare coepisset, duobusque annis regnavit in Ierusalem. Nomen matris eius Mesallemeth filia Harus de Ieteba.	19 Amon was twenty-two years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for two years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Meshullemeth, the daughter of Haruz, from Jotbah.
20 Fecitque malum in conspectu Domini, sicut fecerat Manasses pater eius,	20 And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, just as his father, Manasseh, had done.
21 et ambulavit in omni via, per quam ambulaverat pater eius; servivitque idolis, quibus servierat pater suus, et adoravit ea.	21 And he walked in all the ways in which his father had walked. And he served the unclean things that his father had served, and he adored them.
22 Et dereliquit Dominum, Deum patrum suorum et non ambulavit in via Domini.	22 And he abandoned the Lord, the God of his fathers, and he did not walk in the way of the Lord.
23 Tetenderuntque ei insidias servi sui et interfecerunt regem in domo sua;	23 And his servants undertook treachery against him. And they killed the king in his own house.
24 percussit autem populus terrae omnes, qui coniuraverant contra regem Amon, et constituerunt sibi regem Iosiam filium eius pro eo.	24 But the people of the land slew all those who had conspired against king Amon. And they appointed for themselves Josiah, his son, as king in his place.
25 Reliqua autem gestorum Amon, quae fecit, nonne haec scripta sunt in libro annalium regum Iudae?	25 But the rest of the words of Amon, which he did, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah?
26 Sepelieruntque eum in sepulcro suo in horto Oza; et regnavit Iosias filius eius pro eo.	26 And they buried him in his sepulcher, in the garden of Uzza. And his son, Josiah, reigned in his place.
