II Kings 21

كَانَ مَنَسَّى ابْنَ اثْنَتَيْ عَشَرَةَ سَنَةً حِينَ مَلَكَ، وَمَلَكَ خَمْسًا وَخَمْسِينَ سَنَةً فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَاسْمُ أُمِّهِ حَفْصِيبَةُ.

Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and reigned fifty and five years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Hephzi–bah.

وَعَمِلَ الشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ حَسَبَ رَجَاسَاتِ الأُمَمِ الَّذِينَ طَرَدَهُمُ الرَّبُّ مِنْ أَمَامِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.

And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, after the abominations of the heathen, whom the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.

وَعَادَ فَبَنَى الْمُرْتَفَعَاتِ الَّتِي أَبَادَهَا حَزَقِيَّا أَبُوهُ، وَأَقَامَ مَذَابحَ لِلْبَعْلِ، وَعَمِلَ سَارِيَةً كَمَا عَمِلَ أَخْآبُ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَسَجَدَ لِكُلِّ جُنْدِ السَّمَاءِ وَعَبَدَهَا.

For he built up again the high places which Hezekiah his father had destroyed; and he reared up altars for Baal, and made a grove, as did Ahab king of Israel; and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served them.

وَبَنَى مَذَابحَ فِي بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ الَّذِي قَالَ الرَّبُّ عَنْهُ: «فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ أَضَعُ اسْمِي».

And he built altars in the house of the LORD, of which the LORD said, In Jerusalem will I put my name.

وَبَنَى مَذَابحَ لِكُلِّ جُنْدِ السَّمَاءِ فِي دَارَيْ بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ.

And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the LORD.

وَعَبَّرَ ابْنَهُ فِي النَّارِ، وَعَافَ وَتَفَاءَلَ وَاسْتَخْدَمَ جَانًّا وَتَوَابعَ، وَأَكْثَرَ عَمَلَ الشَّرِّ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ لإِغَاظَتِهِ.

And he made his son pass through the fire, and observed times, and used enchantments, and dealt with familiar spirits and wizards: he wrought much wickedness in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.

وَوَضَعَ تِمْثَالَ السَّارِيَةِ الَّتِي عَمِلَ، فِي الْبَيْتِ الَّذِي قَالَ الرَّبُّ عَنْهُ لِدَاوُدَ وَسُلَيْمَانَ ابْنِهِ: «فِي هذَا الْبَيْتِ وَفِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، الَّتِي اخْتَرْتُ مِنْ جَمِيعِ أَسْبَاطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، أَضَعُ اسْمِي إِلَى الأَبَدِ.

And he set a graven image of the grove that he had made 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 tribes of Israel, will I put my name for ever:

وَلاَ أَعُودُ أُزَحْزِحُ رِجْلَ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنَ الأَرْضِ الَّتِي أَعْطَيْتُ لآبَائِهِمْ، وَذلِكَ إِذَا حَفِظُوا وَعَمِلُوا حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا أَوْصَيْتُهُمْ بِهِ، وَكُلَّ الشَّرِيعَةِ الَّتِي أَمَرَهُمْ بِهَا عَبْدِي مُوسَى».

Neither will I make the feet of Israel move any more out of the land which I gave their fathers; only if they will observe to do according to all that I have commanded them, and according to all the law that my servant Moses commanded them.

فَلَمْ يَسْمَعُوا، بَلْ أَضَلَّهُمْ مَنَسَّى لِيَعْمَلُوا مَا هُوَ أَقْبَحُ مِنَ الأُمَمِ الَّذِينَ طَرَدَهُمُ الرَّبُّ مِنْ أَمَامِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.

But they hearkened not: and Manasseh seduced them to do more evil than did the nations whom the LORD destroyed before the children of Israel.

وَتَكَلَّمَ الرَّبُّ عَنْ يَدِ عَبِيدِهِ الأَنْبِيَاءِ قَائِلاً:

And the LORD spake by his servants the prophets, saying,

«مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّ مَنَسَّى مَلِكَ يَهُوذَا قَدْ عَمِلَ هذِهِ الأَرْجَاسَ، وَأَسَاءَ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ الَّذِي عَمِلَهُ الأَمُورِيُّونَ الَّذِينَ قَبْلَهُ، وَجَعَلَ أَيْضًا يَهُوذَا يُخْطِئُ بِأَصْنَامِهِ،

Because Manasseh king of Judah hath done these abominations, and hath done wickedly above all that the Amorites did, which were before him, and hath made Judah also to sin with his idols:

لِذلِكَ هكَذَا قَالَ الرَّبُّ إِلهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: هأَنَذَا جَالِبٌ شَرًّا عَلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ وَيَهُوذَا حَتَّى أَنَّ كُلَّ مَنْ يَسْمَعُ بِهِ تَطِنُّ أُذُنَاهُ.

Therefore thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Behold, I am bringing such evil upon Jerusalem and Judah, that whosoever heareth of it, both his ears shall tingle.

وَأَمُدُّ عَلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ خَيْطَ السَّامِرَةِ وَمِطْمَارَ بَيْتِ أَخْآبَ، وَأَمْسَحُ أُورُشَلِيمَ كَمَا يَمْسَحُ وَاحِدٌ الصَّحْنَ. يَمْسَحُهُ وَيَقْلِبُهُ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ.

And I will stretch over Jerusalem the line of Samaria, and the plummet of the house of Ahab: and I will wipe Jerusalem as a man wipeth a dish, wiping it, and turning it upside down.

وَأَرْفُضُ بَقِيَّةَ مِيرَاثِي، وَأَدْفَعُهُمْ إِلَى أَيْدِي أَعْدَائِهِمْ، فَيَكُونُونَ غَنِيمَةً وَنَهْبًا لِجَمِيعِ أَعْدَائِهِمْ،

And I will forsake the remnant of mine inheritance, and deliver them into the hand of their enemies; and they shall become a prey and a spoil to all their enemies;

لأَنَّهُمْ عَمِلُوا الشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيَّ، وَصَارُوا يُغِيظُونَنِي مِنَ الْيَوْمِ الَّذِي فِيهِ خَرَجَ آبَاؤُهُمْ مِنْ مِصْرَ إِلَى هذَا الْيَوْمِ».

Because they have done that which was evil in my sight, and have provoked me to anger, since the day their fathers came forth out of Egypt, even unto this day.

وَسَفَكَ أَيْضًا مَنَسَّى دَمًا بَرِيئًا كَثِيرًا جِدًّا حَتَّى مَلأَ أُورُشَلِيمَ مِنَ الْجَانِبِ إِلَى الْجَانِبِ، فَضْلاً عَنْ خَطِيَّتِهِ الَّتِي بِهَا جَعَلَ يَهُوذَا يُخْطِئُ بِعَمَلِ الشَّرِّ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ.

Moreover Manasseh shed innocent blood very much, till he had filled Jerusalem from one end to another; beside his sin wherewith he made Judah to sin, in doing that which was evil in the sight of the LORD.

وَبَقِيَّةُ أُمُورِ مَنَسَّى وَكُلُّ مَا عَمِلَ، وَخَطِيَّتُهُ الَّتِي أَخْطَأَ بِهَا، أَمَا هِيَ مَكْتُوبَةٌ فِي سِفْرِ أَخْبَارِ الأَيَّامِ لِمُلُوكِ يَهُوذَا؟

Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and all that he did, and his sin that he sinned, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

ثُمَّ اضْطَجَعَ مَنَسَّى مَعَ آبَائِهِ، وَدُفِنَ فِي بُسْتَانِ بَيْتِهِ فِي بُسْتَانِ عُزَّا، وَمَلَكَ آمُونُ ابْنُهُ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ.

And Manasseh slept with his fathers, and was buried in the garden of his own house, in the garden of Uzza: and Amon his son reigned in his stead.

كَانَ آمُونُ ابْنَ اثْنَتَيْنِ وَعِشْرِينَ سَنَةً حِينَ مَلَكَ، وَمَلَكَ سَنَتَيْنِ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَاسْمُ أُمِّهِ مَشُلَّمَةُ بِنْتُ حَارُوصَ مِنْ يَطْبَةَ.

Amon was twenty and two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Meshullemeth, the daughter of Haruz of Jotbah.

وَعَمِلَ الشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ كَمَا عَمِلَ مَنَسَّى أَبُوهُ.

And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, as his father Manasseh did.

وَسَلَكَ فِي كُلِّ الطَّرِيقِ الَّذِي سَلَكَ فِيهِ أَبُوهُ، وَعَبَدَ الأَصْنَامَ الَّتِي عَبَدَهَا أَبُوهُ وَسَجَدَ لَهَا.

And he walked in all the way that his father walked in, and served the idols that his father served, and worshipped them:

وَتَرَكَ الرَّبَّ إِلهَ آبَائِهِ وَلَمْ يَسْلُكْ فِي طَرِيقِ الرَّبِّ.

And he forsook the LORD God of his fathers, and walked not in the way of the LORD.

وَفَتَنَ عَبِيدُ آمُونَ عَلَيْهِ، فَقَتَلُوا الْمَلِكَ فِي بَيْتِهِ.

And the servants of Amon conspired against him, and slew the king in his own house.

فَضَرَبَ كُلُّ شَعْبِ الأَرْضِ جَمِيعَ الْفَاتِنِينَ عَلَى الْمَلِكِ آمُونَ، وَمَلَّكَ شَعْبُ الأَرْضِ يُوشِيَّا ابْنَهُ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ.

And the people of the land slew all them that had conspired against king Amon; and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his stead.

وَبَقِيَّةُ أُمُورِ آمُونَ الَّتِي عَمِلَ، أَمَا هِيَ مَكْتُوبَةٌ فِي سِفْرِ أَخْبَارِ الأَيَّامِ لِمُلُوكِ يَهُوذَا؟

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?

وَدُفِنَ فِي قَبْرِهِ فِي بُسْتَانِ عُزَّا، وَمَلَكَ يُوشِيَّا ابْنُهُ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ.

And he was buried in his sepulchre in the garden of Uzza: and Josiah his son reigned in his stead.
