II Chronicles 33

Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty and five years in Jerusalem:

كَانَ مَنَسَّى ابْنَ اثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً حِينَ مَلَكَ، وَمَلَكَ خَمْسًا وَخَمْسِينَ سَنَةً فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ.

But did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, like unto the abominations of the heathen, whom the LORD had cast out before the children of Israel.

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

For he built again the high places which Hezekiah his father had broken down, and he reared up altars for Baalim, and made groves, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served them.

وَعَادَ فَبَنَى الْمُرْتَفَعَاتِ الَّتِي هَدَمَهَا حَزَقِيَّا أَبُوهُ، وَأَقَامَ مَذَابحَ لِلْبَعْلِيمِ، وَعَمِلَ سَوَارِيَ وَسَجَدَ لِكُلِّ جُنْدِ السَّمَاءِ وَعَبَدَهَا.

Also he built altars in the house of the LORD, whereof the LORD had said, In Jerusalem shall my name be for ever.

وَبَنَى مَذَابحَ فِي بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ الَّذِي قَالَ عَنْهُ الرَّبُّ: «فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ يَكُونُ اسْمِي إِلَى الأَبَدِ».

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

وَبَنَى مَذَابحَ لِكُلِّ جُنْدِ السَّمَاءِ فِي دَارَيْ بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ.

And he caused his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom: also he observed times, and used enchantments, and used witchcraft, and dealt with a familiar spirit, and with wizards: he wrought much evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.

وَعَبَّرَ بَنِيهِ فِي النَّارِ فِي وَادِي ابْنِ هِنُّومَ، وَعَافَ وَتَفَاءَلَ وَسَحَرَ، وَاسْتَخْدَمَ جَانًّا وَتَابِعَةً، وَأَكْثَرَ عَمَلَ الشَّرِّ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ لإِغَاظَتِهِ.

And he set a carved image, the idol which he had made, 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 before all the tribes of Israel, will I put my name for ever:

وَوَضَعَ تِمْثَالَ الشَّكْلِ الَّذِي عَمِلَهُ فِي بَيْتِ اللهِ الَّذِي قَالَ اللهُ عَنْهُ لِدَاوُدَ وَلِسُلَيْمَانَ ابْنِهِ: «فِي هذَا الْبَيْتِ وَفِي أُورُشَلِيمَ الَّتِي اخْتَرْتُ مِنْ جَمِيعِ أَسْبَاطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ أَضَعُ اسْمِي إِلَى الأَبَدِ.

Neither will I any more remove the foot of Israel from out of the land which I have appointed for your fathers; so that they will take heed to do all that I have commanded them, according to the whole law and the statutes and the ordinances by the hand of Moses.

وَلاَ أَعُودُ أُزَحْزِحُ رِجْلَ إِسْرَائِيلَ عَنِ الأَرْضِ الَّتِي عَيَّنْتُ لآبَائِهِمْ، وَذلِكَ إِذَا حَفِظُوا وَعَمِلُوا كُلَّ مَا أَوْصَيْتُهُمْ بِهِ، كُلَّ الشَّرِيعَةِ وَالْفَرَائِضِ وَالأَحْكَامِ عَنْ يَدِ مُوسَى».

So Manasseh made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to err, and to do worse than the heathen, whom the LORD had destroyed before the children of Israel.

وَلكِنْ مَنَسَّى أَضَلَّ يَهُوذَا وَسُكَّانَ أُورُشَلِيمَ لِيَعْمَلُوا أَشَرَّ مِنَ الأُمَمِ الَّذِينَ طَرَدَهُمُ الرَّبُّ مِنْ أَمَامِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.

And the LORD spake to Manasseh, and to his people: but they would not hearken.

وَكَلَّمَ الرَّبُّ مَنَسَّى وَشَعْبَهُ فَلَمْ يُصْغُوا.

Wherefore the LORD brought upon them the captains of the host of the king of Assyria, which took Manasseh among the thorns, and bound him with fetters, and carried him to Babylon.

فَجَلَبَ الرَّبُّ عَلَيْهِمْ رُؤَسَاءَ الجُنْدِ الَّذِينَ لِمَلِكِ أَشُّورَ، فَأَخَذُوا مَنَسَّى بِخِزَامَةٍ وَقَيَّدُوهُ بِسَلاَسِلِ نُحَاسٍ وَذَهَبُوا بِهِ إِلَى بَابِلَ.

And when he was in affliction, he besought the LORD his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers,

وَلَمَّا تَضَايَقَ طَلَبَ وَجْهَ الرَّبِّ إِلهِهِ، وَتَوَاضَعَ جِدًّا أَمَامَ إِلهِ آبَائِهِ،

And prayed unto him: and he was intreated of him, and heard his supplication, and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the LORD he was God.

وَصَلَّى إِلَيْهِ فَاسْتَجَابَ لَهُ وَسَمِعَ تَضَرُّعَهُ، وَرَدَّهُ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ إِلَى مَمْلَكَتِهِ. فَعَلِمَ مَنَسَّى أَنَّ الرَّبَّ هُوَ اللهُ.

Now after this he built a wall without the city of David, on the west side of Gihon, in the valley, even to the entering in at the fish gate, and compassed about Ophel, and raised it up a very great height, and put captains of war in all the fenced cities of Judah.

وَبَعْدَ ذلِكَ بَنَى سُورًا خَارِجَ مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ غَرْبًا إِلَى جِيحُونَ فِي الْوَادِي، وَإِلَى مَدْخَلِ بَابِ السَّمَكِ، وَحَوَّطَ الأَكَمَةَ بِسُورٍ وَعَلاَّهُ جِدًّا. وَوَضَعَ رُؤَسَاءَ جُيُوشٍ فِي جَمِيعِ الْمُدُنِ الْحَصِينَةِ فِي يَهُوذَا.

And he took away the strange gods, and the idol out of the house of the LORD, and all the altars that he had built in the mount of the house of the LORD, and in Jerusalem, and cast them out of the city.

وَأَزَالَ الآلِهَةَ الْغَرِيبَةَ وَالأَشْبَاهَ مِنْ بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ، وَجَمِيعَ الْمَذَابِحِ الَّتِي بَنَاهَا فِي جَبَلِ بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ وَفِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَطَرَحَهَا خَارِجَ الْمَدِينَةِ.

And he repaired the altar of the LORD, and sacrificed thereon peace offerings and thank offerings, and commanded Judah to serve the LORD God of Israel.

وَرَمَّمَ مَذْبَحَ الرَّبِّ وَذَبَحَ عَلَيْهِ ذَبَائِحَ سَلاَمَةٍ وَشُكْرٍ، وَأَمَرَ يَهُوذَا أَنْ يَعْبُدُوا الرَّبَّ إِلهَ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

Nevertheless the people did sacrifice still in the high places, yet unto the LORD their God only.

إِلاَّ أَنَّ الشَّعْبَ كَانُوا بَعْدُ يَذْبَحُونَ عَلَى الْمُرْتَفَعَاتِ، إِنَّمَا لِلرَّبِّ إِلهِهِمْ.

Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and his prayer unto his God, and the words of the seers that spake to him in the name of the LORD God of Israel, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel.

وَبَقِيَّةُ أُمُورِ مَنَسَّى وَصَلاَتُهُ إِلَى إِلهِهِ، وَكَلاَمُ الرَّائِينَ الَّذِينَ كَلَّمُوهُ بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ إِلهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، هَا هِيَ فِي أَخْبَارِ مُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

His prayer also, and how God was intreated of him, and all his sin, and his trespass, and the places wherein he built high places, and set up groves and graven images, before he was humbled: behold, they are written among the sayings of the seers.

وَصَلاَتُهُ وَالاسْتِجَابَةُ لَهُ، وَكُلُّ خَطَايَاهُ وَخِيَانَتُهُ وَالأَمَاكِنُ الَّتِي بَنَى فِيهَا مُرْتَفَعَاتٍ وَأَقَامَ سَوَارِيَ وَتَمَاثِيلَ قَبْلَ تَوَاضُعِهِ، هَا هِيَ مَكْتُوبَةٌ فِي أَخْبَارِ الرَّائِينَ.

So Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they buried him in his own house: and Amon his son reigned in his stead.

ثُمَّ اضْطَجَعَ مَنَسَّى مَعَ آبَائِهِ فَدَفَنُوهُ فِي بَيْتِهِ، وَمَلَكَ آمُونُ ابْنُهُ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ.

Amon was two and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned two years in Jerusalem.

كَانَ آمُونُ ابْنَ اثْنَتَيْنِ وَعِشْرِينَ سَنَةً حِينَ مَلَكَ، وَمَلَكَ سَنَتَيْنِ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ.

But he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, as did Manasseh his father: for Amon sacrificed unto all the carved images which Manasseh his father had made, and served them;

وَعَمِلَ الشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ كَمَا عَمِلَ مَنَسَّى أَبُوهُ، وَذَبَحَ آمُونُ لِجَمِيعِ التَّمَاثِيلِ الَّتِي عَمِلَ مَنَسَّى أَبُوهُ وَعَبَدَهَا.

And humbled not himself before the LORD, as Manasseh his father had humbled himself; but Amon trespassed more and more.

وَلَمْ يَتَوَاضَعْ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ كَمَا تَوَاضَعَ مَنَسَّى أَبُوهُ، بَلِ ازْدَادَ آمُونُ إِثْمًا.

And his servants conspired against him, and slew him in his own house.

وَفَتَنَ عَلَيْهِ عَبِيدُهُ وَقَتَلُوهُ فِي بَيْتِهِ.

But 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.

وَقَتَلَ شَعْبُ الأَرْضِ جَمِيعَ الْفَاتِنِينَ عَلَى الْمَلِكِ آمُونَ، وَمَلَّكَ شَعْبُ الأَرْضِ يُوشِيَّا ابْنَهُ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ.
