Septuagint (Brenton Greek text, with Apocrypha)
1Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Hephzibah.
1Υἱὸς δώδεκα ἐτῶν Μανασσὴς ἐν τῷ βασιλεύειν αὐτόν, καὶ πεντήκοντα καὶ πέντε ἔτη ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν Ἰερουσαλήμ, καὶ ὄνομα τῇ μητρὶ αὐτοῦ Ἁψιβά.
2He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, after the abominations of the nations whom the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.
2Καὶ ἐποίησε τὸ πονηρὸν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς Κυρίου, κατὰ τὰ βδελύγματα τῶν ἐθνῶν ὧν ἐξῆρε Κύριος ἀπὸ προσώπον τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ.
3For he built again the high places which Hezekiah his father had destroyed; and he raised up altars for Baal, and made an Asherah, as Ahab king of Israel did, and worshiped all the army of the sky, and served them.
3Καὶ ἐπέστρεψε καὶ ᾠκοδόμησε τὰ ὑψηλὰ ἃ κατέσπασεν Ἑζεκίας ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀνέστησε θυσιαστήριον τῇ Βάαλ, καὶ ἐποίησε τὰ ἄλση καθὼς ἐποίησεν Ἀχαὰβ βασιλεὺς Ἰσραήλ, καὶ προσεκύνησε πάσῃ τῇ δυνάμει τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, καὶ ἐδούλευσεν αὐτοῖς.
4He built altars in the LORD’s house, of which the LORD said, “I will put my name in Jerusalem.”
4Καὶ ᾠκοδόμησε θυσιαστήριον ἐν ὄκῳ Κυρίου, ὡς εἶπεν, ἐν Ἰερουσάλὴμ θήσω τὸ ὄνομά μου.
5He built altars for all the army of the sky in the two courts of the LORD’s house.
5Καὶ ᾠκοδόμησε θυσιαστήριον πάσῃ τῇ δυνάμει τοῦ οὐρανοῦ ἐν ταῖς δυσὶν αὐλαῖς οἴκου Κυρίου.
6He made his son to pass through the fire, practiced sorcery, used enchantments, and dealt with those who had familiar spirits and with wizards. He did much evil in the LORD’s sight, to provoke him to anger.
6Καὶ διῆγε τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτοῦ ἐν πυρί, καὶ ἐκληδονίζετο καὶ οἰωνίζετο, καὶ ἐποίησε τεμένη, καὶ γνώστας ἐπλήθυνε τοῦ ποιεῖν τὸ πονηρὸν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς Κυρίου παροργίσαι αὐτόν.
7He set the engraved image of Asherah 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 the tribes of Israel, I will put my name forever;
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 Ἰερουσαλὴμ ᾗ ἐξελεξάμην ἐκ πασῶν φυλῶν τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ καὶ θήσω τὸ ὄνομά μου εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα,
8I will not cause the feet of Israel to wander any more out of the land which I gave their fathers, if only 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.”
8καὶ οὐ προσθήσω τοῦ σαλεῦσαι τὸν πόδα Ἰσραὴλ ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς ἧς ἔδωκα τοῖς πατράσιν αὐτῶν, οἵ τινες φυλάξουσι πάντα ὅσα ἐνετειλάμην κατὰ πᾶσαν τὴν ἐντολὴν ἣν ἐνετείλατο αὐτοῖς ὁ δοῦλός μου Μωυσῆς.
9But they didn’t listen, and Manasseh seduced them to do that which is evil more than the nations did whom 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 ἠθάνισε Κύριος ἐκ προσώπου υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ.
10The LORD spoke by his servants the prophets, saying,
10Καὶ ἐλάλησε Κύριος ἐν χειρὶ δούλων αὐτοῦ τῶν προφητῶν, λέγων,
11“Because Manasseh king of Judah has done these abominations, and has done wickedly above all that the Amorites did, who were before him, and has also made Judah to sin with his idols;
11ἀνθʼ ὧν ὅσα ἐποίησε Μανασσῆς ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἰούδα τὰ βδελύγματα ταῦτα τὰ πονηρὰ ἀπὸ πάντων ὧν ἐποίησεν ὁ Ἀμοῤῥαῖος ὁ ἔμπροσθεν, καὶ ἐξήμαρτε καί γε Ἰούδαν ἐν τοῖς εἰδώλοις αὐτῶν,
12therefore the LORD the God of Israel says, ‘Behold, I will bring such evil on Jerusalem and Judah that whoever hears of it, both his ears will tingle.
12οὐχ οὕτως· τάδε λέγει Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς Ἰσραήλ, ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ φέρω κακὰ ἐπὶ Ἰερουσαλὴμ καὶ Ἰούδαν, ὥστε παντὸς ἀκούοντος ἠχήσει ἀμφότερα τὰ ὦτα αὐτοῦ·
13I will stretch over Jerusalem the line of Samaria, and the plumb line of Ahab’s house; and I will wipe Jerusalem as a man wipes a dish, wiping it and turning it upside down.
13Καὶ ἐκτενῶ ἐπὶ Ἱερουσαλὴμ τὸ μέτρον Σαμαρείας καὶ τὸ στάθμιον οἴκου Ἀχαάβ· καὶ ἀπαλείψω τὴν Ἱερουσαλὴμ, καθὼς ἀπαλείφεται ὁ ἀλάβαστρος ἀπαλειφόμενος καὶ καταστρέφεται ἐπὶ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ.
14I will cast off the remnant of my inheritance and deliver them into the hands of their enemies. They will become a prey and a plunder to all their enemies,
14Καὶ ἀπεώσομαι 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 that which is evil in my sight, and have provoked me to anger since the day their fathers came out of Egypt, even to this day.’”
15ἀνθʼ 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 Manasseh shed innocent blood very much, until he had filled Jerusalem from one end to another; in addition to his sin with which he made Judah to sin, in doing that which was evil in the LORD’s sight.
16Καί γε αἷμα ἀθῶον 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 Manasseh, and all that he did, and his sin that he sinned, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
17Καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ τῶν λόγων Μανασσῆ καὶ πάντα ὅσα ἐποίησε, καὶ ἡ ἁμαρτία αὐτοῦ ἣν ἥμαρτεν, οὐχὶ ταῦτα γεγραμμένα ἐπὶ βιβλίῳ λόγων τῶν ἡμερῶν τοῖς βασιλεῦσιν Ἰούδα;
18Manasseh 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 place.
18Καὶ ἐκοιμήθη Μανασσὴς μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐτάφη ἐν τῷ κήπῳ τοῦ οἴκου αὐτοῦ ἐν κήπῳ Ὀζά· καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν Ἀμὼς υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντʼ αὐτοῦ.
19Amon 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.
19Υἱὸς εἴκοσι καὶ δύο ἐτῶν Ἀμὼς ἐν τῷ βασιλεύειν αὐτόν, καὶ δύο ἔτη ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν Ἱερουσαλήμ, καὶ ὄνομα τῇ μητρὶ αὐτοῦ Μεσολλάμ, θυγάτηρ Ἀροὺς ἐξ Ἰετέβα.
20He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, as Manasseh his father did.
20Καὶ ἐποίησε τὸ πονηρὸν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς Κυρίου καθὼς ἐποίησε Μανασσὴς, ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ.
21He walked in all the ways that his father walked in, and served the idols that his father served, and worshiped them;
21Καὶ ἐπορεύθη ἐν πάσῃ ὁδῷ ᾗ ἐπορεύθη ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐλάτρευσε τοῖς εἰδώλοις οἷς ἐλάτρευσεν ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ, καὶ προσεκύνησεν αὐτοῖς.
22and he abandoned the LORD, the God of his fathers, and didn’t walk in the way of the LORD.
22Καὶ ἐγκατέλιπε τὸν Κύριον Θεὸν τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐκ ἐπορεύθη ἐν ὁδῷ Κυρίου.
23The servants of Amon conspired against him, and put the king to death in his own house.
23Καὶ συνεστράφησαν οἱ παῖδες Ἀμὼς πρὸς αὐτὸν, καὶ ἐθανάτωσαν τὸν βασιλέα ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ αὐτοῦ.
24But the people of the land killed all those who had conspired against King Amon; and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his place.
24Καὶ ἐπάταξεν ὁ λαὸς τῆς γῆς πάντας τοὺς συστραφέντας ἐπὶ τὸν βασιλέα Ἀμώς, καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν ὁ λαὸς τῆς γῆς τὸν Ἰωσίαν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ ἀντʼ αὐτοῦ.
25Now the rest of the acts of Amon which he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
25Καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ τῶν λόγων Ἀμὼς ὅσα ἐποίησεν, οὐκ ἰδοὺ ταῦτα γεγραμμένα ἐπὶ βιβλίῳ λόγων τῶν ἡμερῶν τοῖς βασιλεῦσιν Ἰούδα;
26He was buried in his tomb in the garden of Uzza, and Josiah his son reigned in his place.
26Καὶ ἔθαψαν αὐτὸν ἑν τῷ τάφῳ αὐτοῦ ἑν τῷ κήτῳ Ὀζά, καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν Ἰωσίας υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντʼ αὐτοῦ.
