The Second Book of Chronicles, Chapter 33דברי הימים ב 33

בֶּן שְׁתֵּ֥ים עֶשְׂרֵ֛ה שָׁנָ֖ה מְנַשֶּׁ֣ה בְמָלְכ֑וֹ וַחֲמִשִּׁ֤ים וְחָמֵשׁ֙ שָׁנָ֔ה מָלַ֖ךְ בִּירוּשָׁלִָֽם

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

וַיַּ֥עַשׂ הָרַ֖ע בְּעֵינֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה כְּתֽוֹעֲבוֹת֙ הַגּוֹיִ֔ם אֲשֶׁר֙ הוֹרִ֣ישׁ יְהוָ֔ה מִפְּנֵ֖י בְּנֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל

But did evil in the sight of YHWH, like to the abominations of the heathen, whom YHWH had cast out before the children of Israel.

וַיָּ֗שָׁב וַיִּ֨בֶן֙ אֶת הַבָּמ֔וֹת אֲשֶׁ֥ר נִתַּ֖ץ יְחִזְקִיָּ֣הוּ אָבִ֑יו וַיָּ֨קֶם מִזְבְּח֤וֹת לַבְּעָלִים֙ וַיַּ֣עַשׂ אֲשֵׁר֔וֹת וַיִּשְׁתַּ֨חוּ֙ לְכָל צְבָ֣א הַשָּׁמַ֔יִם וַֽיַּעֲבֹ֖ד אֹתָֽם

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.

וּבָנָ֥ה מִזְבְּח֖וֹת בְּבֵ֣ית יְהוָ֑ה אֲשֶׁר֙ אָמַ֣ר יְהוָ֔ה בִּירוּשָׁלִַ֥ם יִֽהְיֶה שְּׁמִ֖י לְעוֹלָֽם

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

וַיִּ֥בֶן מִזְבְּח֖וֹת לְכָל צְבָ֣א הַשָּׁמָ֑יִם בִּשְׁתֵּ֖י חַצְר֥וֹת בֵּית יְהוָֽה

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

וְהוּא֩ הֶעֱבִ֨יר אֶת בָּנָ֤יו בָּאֵשׁ֙ בְּגֵ֣י בֶן הִנֹּ֔ם וְעוֹנֵ֤ן וְנִחֵשׁ֙ וְֽכִשֵּׁ֔ף וְעָ֥שָׂה א֖וֹב וְיִדְּעוֹנִ֑י הִרְבָּ֗ה לַעֲשׂ֥וֹת הָרַ֛ע בְּעֵינֵ֥י יְהוָ֖ה לְהַכְעִיסֽוֹ

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 YHWH, to provoke him to anger.

וַיָּ֕שֶׂם אֶת פֶּ֥סֶל הַסֶּ֖מֶל אֲשֶׁ֣ר עָשָׂ֑ה בְּבֵ֣ית הָאֱלֹהִ֗ים אֲשֶׁ֨ר אָמַ֤ר אֱלֹהִים֙ אֶל דָּוִיד֙ וְאֶל שְׁלֹמֹ֣ה בְנ֔וֹ בַּבַּ֨יִת הַזֶּ֜ה וּבִֽירוּשָׁלִַ֗ם אֲשֶׁ֤ר בָּחַ֨רְתִּי֙ מִכֹּל֙ שִׁבְטֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל אָשִׂ֥ים אֶת שְׁמִ֖י לְעֵילֽוֹם

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:

וְלֹ֣א אוֹסִ֗יף לְהָסִיר֙ אֶת רֶ֣גֶל יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל מֵעַל֙ הָֽאֲדָמָ֔ה אֲשֶׁ֥ר הֶֽעֱמַ֖דְתִּי לַאֲבֹֽתֵיכֶ֑ם רַ֣ק אִם יִשְׁמְר֣וּ לַעֲשׂ֗וֹת אֵ֚ת כָּל אֲשֶׁ֣ר צִוִּיתִ֔ים לְכָל הַתּוֹרָ֛ה וְהַֽחֻקִּ֥ים וְהַמִּשְׁפָּטִ֖ים בְּיַד מֹשֶֽׁה

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.

וַיֶּ֣תַע מְנַשֶּׁ֔ה אֶת יְהוּדָ֖ה וְיֹשְׁבֵ֣י יְרוּשָׁלִָ֑ם לַעֲשׂ֣וֹת רָ֔ע מִן הַ֨גּוֹיִ֔ם אֲשֶׁר֙ הִשְׁמִ֣יד יְהוָ֔ה מִפְּנֵ֖י בְּנֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל

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

וַיְדַבֵּ֧ר יְהוָ֛ה אֶל מְנַשֶּׁ֥ה וְאֶל עַמּ֖וֹ וְלֹ֥א הִקְשִֽׁיבוּ

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

וַיָּבֵ֨א יְהוָ֜ה עֲלֵיהֶ֗ם אֶת שָׂרֵ֤י הַצָּבָא֙ אֲשֶׁר֙ לְמֶ֣לֶךְ אַשּׁ֔וּר וַיִּלְכְּד֥וּ אֶת מְנַשֶּׁ֖ה בַּחֹחִ֑ים וַיַּֽאַסְרֻ֨הוּ֙ בַּֽנְחֻשְׁתַּ֔יִם וַיּוֹלִיכֻ֖הוּ בָּבֶֽלָה

Wherefore YHWH 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.

וּכְהָצֵ֣ר ל֔וֹ חִלָּ֕ה אֶת פְּנֵ֖י יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהָ֑יו וַיִּכָּנַ֣ע מְאֹ֔ד מִלִּפְנֵ֖י אֱלֹהֵ֥י אֲבֹתָֽיו

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

וַיִּתְפַּלֵּ֣ל אֵלָ֗יו וַיֵּעָ֤תֶר לוֹ֙ וַיִּשְׁמַ֣ע תְּחִנָּת֔וֹ וַיְשִׁיבֵ֥הוּ יְרוּשָׁלִַ֖ם לְמַלְכוּת֑וֹ וַיֵּ֣דַע מְנַשֶּׁ֔ה כִּ֥י יְהוָ֖ה ה֥וּא הָֽאֱלֹהִֽים

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

וְאַחֲרֵי כֵ֡ן בָּנָ֣ה חוֹמָ֣ה חִֽיצוֹנָ֣ה לְעִיר דָּוִ֡יד מַעְרָבָה֩ לְגִיח֨וֹן בַּנַּ֜חַל וְלָב֨וֹא בְשַׁ֤עַר הַדָּגִים֙ וְסָבַ֣ב לָעֹ֔פֶל וַיַּגְבִּיהֶ֖הָ מְאֹ֑ד וַיָּ֧שֶׂם שָֽׂרֵי חַ֛יִל בְּכָל הֶעָרִ֥ים הַבְּצֻר֖וֹת בִּיהוּדָֽה

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.

וַ֠יָּסַר אֶת אֱלֹהֵ֨י הַנֵּכָ֤ר וְאֶת הַסֶּ֨מֶל֙ מִבֵּ֣ית יְהוָ֔ה וְכָל הַֽמִּזְבְּח֗וֹת אֲשֶׁ֥ר בָּנָ֛ה בְּהַ֥ר בֵּית יְהוָ֖ה וּבִירוּשָׁלִָ֑ם וַיַּשְׁלֵ֖ךְ ח֥וּצָה לָעִֽיר

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

ויכן וַיִּ֨בֶן֙ אֶת מִזְבַּ֣ח יְהוָ֔ה וַיִּזְבַּ֣ח עָלָ֔יו זִבְחֵ֥י שְׁלָמִ֖ים וְתוֹדָ֑ה וַיֹּ֨אמֶר֙ לִֽיהוּדָ֔ה לַעֲב֕וֹד אֶת יְהוָ֖ה אֱלֹהֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל

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

אֲבָל֙ ע֣וֹד הָעָ֔ם זֹבְחִ֖ים בַּבָּמ֑וֹת רַ֖ק לַיהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֵיהֶֽם

Nevertheless the people did sacrifice still in the high places, to YHWH their God only.

וְיֶ֨תֶר דִּבְרֵ֣י מְנַשֶּׁה֮ וּתְפִלָּת֣וֹ אֶל אֱלֹהָיו֒ וְדִבְרֵי֙ הַֽחֹזִ֔ים הַֽמְדַבְּרִ֣ים אֵלָ֔יו בְּשֵׁ֥ם יְהוָ֖ה אֱלֹהֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל הִנָּ֕ם עַל דִּבְרֵ֖י מַלְכֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל

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

וּתְפִלָּת֣וֹ וְהֵֽעָתֶר לוֹ֮ וְכָל חַטָּאת֣וֹ וּמַעְלוֹ֒ וְהַמְּקֹמ֗וֹת אֲשֶׁר֩ בָּנָ֨ה בָהֶ֤ם בָּמוֹת֙ וְהֶעֱמִיד֙ הָאֲשֵׁרִ֣ים וְהַפְּסִלִ֔ים לִפְנֵ֖י הִכָּנְע֑וֹ הִנָּ֣ם כְּתוּבִ֔ים עַ֖ל דִּבְרֵ֥י חוֹזָֽי

His prayer also, and 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 written among the sayings of the seers.

וַיִּשְׁכַּ֤ב מְנַשֶּׁה֙ עִם אֲבֹתָ֔יו וַֽיִּקְבְּרֻ֖הוּ בֵּית֑וֹ וַיִּמְלֹ֛ךְ אָמ֥וֹן בְּנ֖וֹ תַּחְתָּֽיו

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

בֶּן עֶשְׂרִ֧ים וּשְׁתַּ֛יִם שָׁנָ֖ה אָמ֣וֹן בְּמָלְכ֑וֹ וּשְׁתַּ֣יִם שָׁנִ֔ים מָלַ֖ךְ בִּֽירוּשָׁלִָֽם

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

וַיַּ֤עַשׂ הָרַע֙ בְּעֵינֵ֣י יְהוָ֔ה כַּאֲשֶׁ֥ר עָשָׂ֖ה מְנַשֶּׁ֣ה אָבִ֑יו וּֽלְכָל הַפְּסִילִ֗ים אֲשֶׁ֤ר עָשָׂה֙ מְנַשֶּׁ֣ה אָבִ֔יו זִבַּ֥ח אָמ֖וֹן וַיַּֽעַבְדֵֽם

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

וְלֹ֤א נִכְנַע֙ מִלִּפְנֵ֣י יְהוָ֔ה כְּהִכָּנַ֖ע מְנַשֶּׁ֣ה אָבִ֑יו כִּ֛י ה֥וּא אָמ֖וֹן הִרְבָּ֥ה אַשְׁמָֽה

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

וַיִּקְשְׁר֤וּ עָלָיו֙ עֲבָדָ֔יו וַיְמִיתֻ֖הוּ בְּבֵיתֽוֹ

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

וַיַּכּוּ֙ עַם הָאָ֔רֶץ אֵ֥ת כָּל הַקֹּֽשְׁרִ֖ים עַל הַמֶּ֣לֶךְ אָמ֑וֹן וַיַּמְלִ֧יכוּ עַם הָאָ֛רֶץ אֶת יֹאשִׁיָּ֥הוּ בְנ֖וֹ תַּחְתָּֽיו

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.
