Regum II 21

NOVA VULGATA	Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
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 began to reign, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Hephzibah.
2 Fecitque malum in conspectu Domini iuxta abominationes gentium, quas delevit Dominus a facie filiorum Israel.	2 And 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 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 For he rebuilt the high places which Hezekiah his father had destroyed; and he erected altars for Baal, and made an Asherah, as Ahab king of Israel had done, and worshiped all the host of heaven, and served them.
4 Exstruxitque aras in domo Domini, de qua dixit Dominus: “ In Ierusalem ponam nomen meum ”.	4 And he built altars in the house of the LORD, of which the LORD had said, "In Jerusalem will I put my name."
5 Et exstruxit altaria universae militiae caeli in duobus atriis templi Domini	5 And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house 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 burned his son as an offering, and practiced soothsaying and augury, and dealt with mediums and with wizards. He did much evil in the sight of the LORD, provoking him to anger.
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 And the graven image of Asherah that he had made he set in the house of which the LORD 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 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 not cause the feet of Israel to wander any more out of the land which I gave to their fathers, if only they will be careful to do according to all that I have commanded them, and according to all the law that my servant Moses commanded 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 But they did not listen, and Manasseh seduced them to do more evil than the nations had done whom the LORD destroyed before the people of Israel.
10 Locutusque est Dominus in manu servorum suorum prophetarum dicens:	10 And the LORD said by his servants the prophets,
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 "Because Manasseh king of Judah has committed these abominations, and has done things more wicked than all that the Amorites did, who were before him, and has made Judah also to sin with his idols;
12 propterea haec dicit Dominus, Deus Israel: Ecce ego inducam mala super Ierusalem et Iudam, ut quicumque audierit, tinniant ambae aures eius.	12 therefore thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, Behold, I am bringing upon Jerusalem and Judah such evil that the ears of every one who hears of it will tingle.
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 stretch over Jerusalem the measuring line of Samaria, and the plummet of the house of Ahab; and I will wipe Jerusalem as one wipes a dish, wiping it and turning it upside down.
14 Et proiciam reliquias hereditatis meae et tradam eas in manu inimicorum eius; eruntque in vastitate et rapina cunctis adversariis suis,	14 And I will cast off the remnant of my heritage, and give them into the hand of their enemies, and they shall become a prey and a spoil to all their enemies,
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 because they have done what is evil in my sight and have provoked me to anger, since the day their fathers came out of 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 shed very much innocent blood, till he had filled Jerusalem from one end to another, besides the sin which he made Judah to sin so that they did what was evil in the sight of 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 acts of Manasseh, and all that he did, and the sin that he committed, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles 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 was buried in the garden of his house, in the garden of Uzza; and Amon his son reigned in his stead.
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 began to reign, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Meshullemeth the daughter of Haruz of Jotbah.
20 Fecitque malum in conspectu Domini, sicut fecerat Manasses pater eius,	20 And he did what was evil in the sight of the LORD, as Manasseh his father had done.
21 et ambulavit in omni via, per quam ambulaverat pater eius; servivitque idolis, quibus servierat pater suus, et adoravit ea.	21 He walked in all the way in which his father walked, and served the idols that his father served, and worshiped them;
22 Et dereliquit Dominum, Deum patrum suorum et non ambulavit in via Domini.	22 he forsook the LORD, the God of his fathers, and did not walk in the way of the LORD.
23 Tetenderuntque ei insidias servi sui et interfecerunt regem in domo sua;	23 And the servants of Amon conspired against him, and killed the king in his 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 the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his stead.
25 Reliqua autem gestorum Amon, quae fecit, nonne haec scripta sunt in libro annalium regum Iudae?	25 Now the rest of the acts of Amon which he did, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
26 Sepelieruntque eum in sepulcro suo in horto Oza; et regnavit Iosias filius eius pro eo.	26 And he was buried in his tomb in the garden of Uzza; and Josiah his son reigned in his stead.
