1Manasses was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned five and fifty years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Haphsiba.
1ΥΙΟΣ δώδεκα ἐτῶν Μανασσῆς ἐν τῷ βασιλεύειν αὐτὸν καὶ πεντήκοντα καὶ πέντε ἔτη ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν Ἱερουσαλήμ, καὶ ὄνομα τῇ μητρὶ αὐτοῦ Ὀψιβά.
2And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, according to the idols of the nations, which the Lord destroyed from before the face of the children of Israel.
2καὶ ἐποίησε τὸ πονηρὸν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς Κυρίου κατὰ τὰ βδελύγματα τῶν ἐθνῶν, ὧν ἐξῇρε Κύριος ἀπὸ προσώπου τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ,
3And he turned, and built up the high places which Ezechias his father had destroyed: and he set up altars to Baal, and made groves, as Achab the king of Israel had done: and he adored all the host of heaven, and served them.
3καὶ ἐπέστρεψε καὶ ᾠκοδόμησε τὰ ὑψηλά, ἃ κατέσπασεν Ἐζεκίας ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀνέστησε θυσιαστήριον τῇ Βάαλ καὶ ἐποίησε τὰ ἄλση, καθὼς ἐποίησε Ἀχαὰβ βασιλεὺς Ἰσραήλ, καὶ προσεκύνησε πάσῃ τῇ δυνάμει τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ ἐδούλευσεν αὐτοῖς.
4And he built altars in the house of the Lord, of which the Lord said: In Jerusalem I will put my name.
4καὶ ᾠκοδόμησε θυσιαστήριον ἐν οἴκῳ Κυρίου, ὡς εἶπεν· ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ θήσω τὸ ὄνομά μου,
5And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the temple of the Lord.
5καὶ ᾠκοδόμησε θυσιαστήριον πάσῃ τῇ δυνάμει τοῦ οὐρανοῦ ἐν ταῖς δυσὶν αὐλαῖς οἴκου Κυρίου
6And he made his son pass through fire: and he used divination, and observed omens, and appointed pythons, and multiplied soothsayers to do evil before the Lord, and to provoke him.
6καὶ διῆγε τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτοῦ ἐν πυρὶ καὶ ἐκληδονίζετο καὶ οἰωνίζετο καὶ ἐποίησε τεμένη καὶ γνώστας ἐπλήθυνε τοῦ ποιεῖν τὸ πονηρὸν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς Κυρίου παροργίσαι αὐτόν.
7He set also an idol of the grove, which he had made, in the temple of the Lord: concerning which the Lord said to David, and to Solomon his son: In this temple, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, I will put my name for ever.
7καὶ ἔθηκε τὸ γλυπτὸν τοῦ ἄλσους ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ, ᾧ εἶπε Κύριος πρὸς Δαυὶδ καὶ πρὸς Σαλωμὼν τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ· ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ τούτῳ καὶ ἐν Ἱερουσαλήμ, ᾗ ἐξελεξάμην ἐκ πασῶν φυλῶν τοῦ Ἰσραήλ, καὶ θήσω τὸ ὄνομά μου εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα
8And I will no more make the feet of Israel to be moved out of the land, which I gave to their fathers: only if they will observe to do all that I have commanded them according to the law which my servant Moses commanded them.
8καὶ οὐ προσθήσω τοῦ σαλεῦσαι τὸν πόδα Ἰσραὴλ ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς, ἧς ἔδωκα τοῖς πατράσιν αὐτῶν, οἵτινες φυλάξουσι πάντα ὅσα ἐνετειλάμην κατὰ πᾶσαν τὴν ἐντολήν, ἣν ἐνετείλατο αὐτοῖς ὁ δοῦλός μου Μωυσῆς.
9But they hearkened not: but were seduced by Manasses, to do evil more than the nations which the Lord destroyed before the children of Israel.
9καὶ οὐκ ἤκουσαν, καὶ ἐπλάνησεν αὐτοὺς Μανασσῆς τοῦ ποιῆσαι τὸ πονηρὸν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς Κυρίου ὑπὲρ τὰ ἔθνη, ἃ ἠφάνισε Κύριος ἐκ προσώπου υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ.
10And the Lord spoke in the hand of his servants, the prophets, saying:
10καὶ ἐλάλησε Κύριος ἐν χειρὶ δούλων αὐτοῦ τῶν προφητῶν λέγων·
11Because Manasses king of Juda hath done these most wicked abominations, beyond all that the Amorrhites did before him, and hath made Juda also to sin with his filthy doings:
11ἀνθ᾿ ὧν ὅσα ἐποίησε Μανασσῆς ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἰούδα τὰ βδελύγματα ταῦτα τὰ πονηρὰ ἀπὸ πάντων, ὧν ἐποίησεν ὁ Ἀμορραῖος ὁ ἔμπροσθεν, καὶ ἐξήμαρτε καί γε τὸν Ἰούδαν ἐν τοῖς εἰδώλοις αὐτῶν,
12Therefore thus saith the Lord the God of Israel: Behold I will bring on evils upon Jerusalem and Juda: that whosoever shall hear of them, both his ears shall tingle.
12οὐχ οὕτως, τάδε λέγει Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς Ἰσραήλ· ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ φέρω κακὰ ἐπὶ Ἱερουσαλὴμ καὶ Ἰούδαν, ὥστε παντὸς ἀκούοντος ἠχήσει ἀμφότερα τὰ ὦτα αὐτοῦ,
13And I will stretch over Jerusalem the line of Samaria, and the weight of the house of Achab: and I will efface Jerusalem, as tables are wont to be effaced, and I will erase and turn it, and draw the pencil often over the face thereof.
13καὶ ἐκτενῶ ἐπὶ Ἱερουσαλὴμ τὸ μέτρον Σαμαρείας καὶ τὸ στάθμιον οἴκου Ἀχαάβ· καὶ ἀπαλείψω τὴν Ἱερουσαλήμ, καθὼς ἀπαλείφεται ὁ ἀλάβαστρος ἀπαλειφόμενος καὶ καταστρέφεται ἐπὶ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ,
14And I will leave the remnants of my inheritance, and will deliver them into the hands of their enemies: and they shall become a prey, and a spoil to all their enemies.
14καὶ ἀπώσομαι τὸ ὑπόλειμμα τῆς κληρονομίας μου καὶ παραδώσω αὐτοὺς εἰς χεῖρας ἐχθρῶν αὐτῶν, καὶ ἔσονται εἰς διαρπαγὴν καὶ εἰς προνομὴν πᾶσι τοῖς ἐχθροῖς αὐτῶν,
15Because they have done evil before me, and have continued to provoke me, from the day that their fathers came out of Egypt, even unto this day.
15ἀνθ᾿ ὧν ὅσα ἐποίησαν τὸ πονηρὸν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς μου καὶ ἦσαν παροργίζοντές με ἀπὸ τῆς ἡμέρας, ἧς ἐξήγαγον τοὺς πατέρας αὐτῶν ἐξ Αἰγύπτου καὶ ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης.
16Moreover Manasses shed also very much innocent blood, till he filled Jerusalem up to the mouth: besides his sins, wherewith he made Juda to sin, to do evil before the Lord.
16καί γε αἷμα ἀθῷον ἐξέχεε Μανασσῆς πολὺ σφόδρα, ἕως οὗ ἔπλησε τὴν Ἱερουσαλὴμ στόμα εἰς στόμα, πλὴν ἀπὸ τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν αὐτοῦ, ὧν ἐξήμαρτε τὸν Ἰούδαν τοῦ ποιῆσαι τὸ πονηρὸν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς Κυρίου.
17Now the rest of the acts of Manasses, and all that he did, and his sin which he sinned, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda?
17καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ τῶν λόγων Μανασσῆ καὶ πάντα, ὅσα ἐποίησε, καὶ ἡ ἁμαρτία αὐτοῦ, ἣν ἥμαρτεν, οὐχὶ ταῦτα γεγραμμένα ἐπὶ τῷ βιβλίῳ λόγων τῶν ἡμερῶν τοῖς βασιλεῦσιν Ἰούδα;
18And Manasses slept with his fathers, and was buried in the garden of his own house, in the garden of Oza: and Amen his son reigned in his stead.
18καὶ ἐκοιμήθη Μανασσῆς μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐτάφη ἐν τῷ κήπῳ τοῦ οἴκου αὐτοῦ, ἐν κήπω Ὀζά, καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν Ἀμὼν υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντ᾿ αὐτοῦ.
19Two and twenty years old was Amen when he began to reign, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Messalemeth the daughter of Harus of Jeteba.
19Υἱὸς εἴκοσι καὶ δύο ἐτῶν Ἀμὼν ἐν τῷ βασιλεύειν αὐτὸν καὶ δύο ἔτη ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν Ἱερουσαλήμ, καὶ ὄνομα τῇ μητρὶ αὐτοῦ Μεσολλὰμ θυγάτηρ Ἀροῦς ἐξ Ἰετέβα.
20And he did evil in the sight, of the Lord, as Manasses his father had done.
20καὶ ἐποίησε τὸ πονηρὸν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς Κυρίου, καθὼς ἐποίησε Μανασσῆς ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ.
21And he walked in all the way in which his father had walked: and he served the abominations which his father had served, and he adored them;
21καὶ ἐπορεύθη ἐν πάσῃ ὁδῷ, ᾗ ἐπορεύθη ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐλάτρευσε τοῖς εἰδώλοις, οἷς ἐλάτρευσεν ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ, καὶ προσεκύνησεν αὐτοῖς
22And forsook the Lord the God of his fathers, and walked not in the way of the Lord.
22καὶ ἐγκατέλιπε τὸν Κύριον Θεὸν τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ καὶ οὐκ ἐπορεύθη ἐν ὁδῷ Κυρίου.
23And his servants plotted against him, and slew the king in his own house.
23καὶ συνεστράφησαν οἱ παῖδες Ἀμὼν πρὸς αὐτὸν καὶ ἐθανάτωσαν τὸν βασιλέα ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ αὐτοῦ.
24But the people of the land slew all them that had conspired against king Amen: and made Josias his son their king in his stead.
24καὶ ἐπάταξεν ὁ λαὸς τῆς γῆς πάντας τοὺς συστραφέντας ἐπὶ τὸν βασιλέα Ἀμὼν καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν ὁ λαὸς τῆς γῆς τὸν Ἰωσίαν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ ἀντ᾿ αὐτοῦ.
25But the rest of the acts of Amen which he did, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda?
25καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ τῶν λόγων Ἀμών, ὅσα ἐποίησεν, οὐκ ἰδοὺ ταῦτα γεγραμμένα ἐπὶ βιβλίῳ λόγων τῶν ἡμερῶν τοῖς βασιλεῦσιν Ἰούδα;
26And they buried him in his sepulchre in the garden of Oza: and his son Josias reigned in his stead.
26καὶ ἔθαψαν αὐτὸν ἐν τῷ τάφῳ αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ κήπῳ Ὀζά, καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν Ἰωσίας υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντ᾿ αὐτοῦ.
