1	The son of twelve years was Manasseh in his reigning, and fifty and five years he reigned in Jerusalem.	Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem.	Manasseh was twelve years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem fifty-five years.
2	And he will do the evil in the eyes of Jehovah, as the abominations of the nations which Jehovah dispossessed from before the sons of Israel.	And he did what was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to the abominations of the nations whom the LORD drove out before the people of Israel.	He did evil in the eyes of the LORD, following the detestable practices of the nations the LORD had driven out before the Israelites.
3	And he will turn back and build the heights which Hezekiah his father pulled down; and he will raise up altars for the Baals, and he will make statues, and worship to all the army of the heavens, and he will serve them.	For he rebuilt the high places that his father Hezekiah had broken down, and he erected altars to the Baals, and made Asheroth, and worshiped all the host of heaven and served them.	He rebuilt the high places his father Hezekiah had demolished; he also erected altars to the Baals and made Asherah poles. He bowed down to all the starry hosts and worshiped them.
4	And he built altars in the house of Jehovah, which Jehovah said, In Jerusalem shall be my name forever.	And he built altars in the house of the LORD, of which the LORD had said, “In Jerusalem shall my name be forever.”	He built altars in the temple of the LORD, of which the LORD had said, “My Name will remain in Jerusalem forever.”
5	And he will build altars to all the army of the heavens in the two enclosures of the house of Jehovah.	And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the LORD.	In both courts of the temple of the LORD, he built altars to all the starry hosts.
6	And he caused his sons to pass through in fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom: and he practiced magic and used divination, and offered prayers, and made sorcerers and wizards: he multiplied to do evil in the eyes of Jehovah to irritate him.	And he burned his sons as an offering in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, and used fortune-telling and omens and sorcery, and dealt with mediums and with necromancers. He did much evil in the sight of the LORD, provoking him to anger.	He sacrificed his children in the fire in the Valley of Ben Hinnom, practiced divination and witchcraft, sought omens, and consulted mediums and spiritists. He did much evil in the eyes of the LORD, arousing his anger.
7	And he will set up a carved image, the likeness which he made in the house of God, of which God said to David and to Solomon his son, In this house and in Jerusalem which I chose from all the tribes of Israel, I will set my name forever.	And the carved image of the idol that he had made he set in the house of God, of which God 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,	He took the image he had made and put it in God’s temple, of which God had said to David and to his son Solomon, “In this temple and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, I will put my Name forever.
8	And I will not add to remove the foot of Israel from the land which I set to your fathers; only if they will watch to do all I commanded them, for all the law and the precepts and the judgments by the hand of Moses.	and I will no more remove the foot of Israel from the land that I appointed for your fathers, if only they will be careful to do all that I have commanded them, all the law, the statutes, and the rules given through Moses.”	I will not again make the feet of the Israelites leave the land I assigned to your ancestors, if only they will be careful to do everything I commanded them concerning all the laws, decrees and regulations given through Moses.”
9	And Manasseh will cause Judah and those inhabiting Jerusalem to wander, to do evil more than the nations which Jehovah destroyed from before the sons of Israel.	Manasseh led Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem astray, to do more evil than the nations whom the LORD destroyed before the people of Israel.	But Manasseh led Judah and the people of Jerusalem astray, so that they did more evil than the nations the LORD had destroyed before the Israelites.
10	And Jehovah will speak to Manasseh, and to his people, and they attended not.	The LORD spoke to Manasseh and to his people, but they paid no attention.	The LORD spoke to Manasseh and his people, but they paid no attention.
11	And Jehovah will bring upon them the chiefs of the army which were to the king of Assur, and they will take Manasseh with hooks, and they will bind him with fetters and cause him to go to Babel.	Therefore the LORD brought upon them the commanders of the army of the king of Assyria, who captured Manasseh with hooks and bound him with chains of bronze and brought him to Babylon.	So the LORD brought against them the army commanders of the king of Assyria, who took Manasseh prisoner, put a hook in his nose, bound him with bronze shackles and took him to Babylon.
12	And when straits were to him he besought the face of Jehovah his God, and he will humble himself greatly from before the God of his fathers.	And when he was in distress, he entreated the favor of the LORD his God and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers.	In his distress he sought the favor of the LORD his God and humbled himself greatly before the God of his ancestors.
13	And he will pray to him, and he will be entreated for him, and he will hear his supplication, and he will turn him back to Jerusalem to his kingdom. And Manasseh knew that Jehovah he is God.	He prayed to him, and God was moved by his entreaty and heard his plea and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the LORD was God.	And when he prayed to him, the LORD was moved by his entreaty and listened to his plea; so he brought him back to Jerusalem and to his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the LORD is God.
14	And after this he built a wall outside to the city of David from the west to Gihon, in the valley to the entering into the gate of fishes, and it turned round about to the hill, and he will lift it up greatly, and he will set chiefs of the army in all the fortified cities in Judah.	Afterward he built an outer wall for the city of David west of Gihon, in the valley, and for the entrance into the Fish Gate, and carried it around Ophel, and raised it to a very great height. He also put commanders of the army in all the fortified cities in Judah.	Afterward he rebuilt the outer wall of the City of David, west of the Gihon spring in the valley, as far as the entrance of the Fish Gate and encircling the hill of Ophel; he also made it much higher. He stationed military commanders in all the fortified cities in Judah.
15	And he will remove the strange gods and the likeness from the house of Jehovah, and all the altars which he built in the mountain of the house of Jehovah, and in Jerusalem, and he will cast without to the city.	And he took away the foreign gods and the idol from the house of the LORD, and all the altars that he had built on the mountain of the house of the LORD and in Jerusalem, and he threw them outside of the city.	He got rid of the foreign gods and removed the image from the temple of the LORD, as well as all the altars he had built on the temple hill and in Jerusalem; and he threw them out of the city.
16	And he will build the altar of Jehovah, and he will sacrifice upon it sacrifices of peace and praise, and he will say to Judah serve Jehovah the God of Israel.	He also restored the altar of the LORD and offered on it sacrifices of peace offerings and of thanksgiving, and he commanded Judah to serve the LORD, the God of Israel.	Then he restored the altar of the LORD and sacrificed fellowship offerings and thank offerings on it, and told Judah to serve the LORD, the God of Israel.
17	But the people yet are sacrificing in the height, only to Jehovah their God.	Nevertheless, the people still sacrificed at the high places, but only to the LORD their God.	The people, however, continued to sacrifice at the high places, but only to the LORD their God.
18	And the rest of the words of Manasseh, and his prayer to his God, and the words of the seers speaking to him in the name of Jehovah the God of Israel, behold them upon the words of the kings of Israel.	Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and his prayer to his God, and the words of the seers who spoke to him in the name of the LORD, the God of Israel, behold, they are in the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.	The other events of Manasseh’s reign, including his prayer to his God and the words the seers spoke to him in the name of the LORD, the God of Israel, are written in the annals of the kings of Israel.
19	And his prayer, and he was entreated for him and all his sin, and his transgression, and the places where he built in them heights, and he set up statues and carved images before his humbling: behold them written upon the words of the seers.	And his prayer, and how God was moved by his entreaty, and all his sin and his faithlessness, and the sites on which he built high places and set up the Asherim and the images, before he humbled himself, behold, they are written in the Chronicles of the Seers.	His prayer and how God was moved by his entreaty, as well as all his sins and unfaithfulness, and the sites where he built high places and set up Asherah poles and idols before he humbled himself—all these are written in the records of the seers.
20	And Manasseh will lie down with his fathers, and they will bury him in his house: and Amon his son will reign in his stead.	So Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they buried him in his house, and Amon his son reigned in his place.	Manasseh rested with his ancestors and was buried in his palace. And Amon his son succeeded him as king.
21	The son of twenty and two years was Amon in his reigning, and two years he reigned in Jerusalem.	Amon was twenty-two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem.	Amon was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem two years.
22	And he will do the evil in the eyes of Jehovah as did Manasseh his father: and to all the carved images which Manasseh his father made, Amon sacrificed, and he will serve them.	And he did what was evil in the sight of the LORD, as Manasseh his father had done. Amon sacrificed to all the images that Manasseh his father had made, and served them.	He did evil in the eyes of the LORD, as his father Manasseh had done. Amon worshiped and offered sacrifices to all the idols Manasseh had made.
23	And he was not humbled from before Jehovah as Manasseh his father humbled himself; for this Amon multiplied trespass.	And he did not humble himself before the LORD, as Manasseh his father had humbled himself, but this Amon incurred guilt more and more.	But unlike his father Manasseh, he did not humble himself before the LORD; Amon increased his guilt.
24	And his servants will conspire against him, and they will kill him in his house.	And his servants conspired against him and put him to death in his house.	Amon’s officials conspired against him and assassinated him in his palace.
25	And the people of the land will strike all those conspiring against king Amon; and the people of the land will make Josiah his son king in his stead.	But the people of the land struck down all those who had conspired against King Amon. And the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his place.	Then the people of the land killed all who had plotted against King Amon, and they made Josiah his son king in his place.
