2 Chronicles 33

1Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty and five years in Jerusalem:

בֶּן־שְׁתֵּים עֶשְׂרֵה שָׁנָה מְנַשֶּׁה בְמָלְכֹו וַחֲמִשִּׁים וְחָמֵשׁ שָׁנָה מָלַךְ בִּירוּשָׁלִָם׃ (4016)

2But 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.

וַיַּעַשׂ הָרַע בְּעֵינֵי יְהוָה כְּתֹועֲבֹות הַגֹּויִם אֲשֶׁר הֹורִישׁ יְהוָה מִפְּנֵי בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל׃ (3628)

3For 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.

וַיָּשָׁב וַיִּבֶן אֶת־הַבָּמֹות אֲשֶׁר נִתַּץ יְחִזְקִיָּהוּ אָבִיו וַיָּקֶם מִזְבְּחֹות לַבְּעָלִים וַיַּעַשׂ אֲשֵׁרֹות וַיִּשְׁתַּחוּ לְכָל־צְבָא הַשָּׁמַיִם וַיַּעֲבֹד אֹתָם׃ (6371)

4Also he built altars in the house of the LORD, whereof the LORD had said, In Jerusalem shall my name be for ever.

וּבָנָה מִזְבְּחֹות בְּבֵית יְהוָה אֲשֶׁר אָמַר יְהוָה בִּירוּשָׁלִַם יִהְיֶה־שְּׁמִי לְעֹולָם׃ (2878)

5And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the LORD.

וַיִּבֶן מִזְבְּחֹות לְכָל־צְבָא הַשָּׁמָיִם בִּשְׁתֵּי חַצְרֹות בֵּית־יְהוָה׃ (2953)

6And 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.

וְהוּא הֶעֱבִיר אֶת־בָּנָיו בָּאֵשׁ בְּגֵי בֶן־הִנֹּם וְעֹונֵן וְנִחֵשׁ וְכִשֵּׁף וְעָשָׂה אֹוב וְיִדְּעֹונִי הִרְבָּה לַעֲשֹׂות הָרַע בְּעֵינֵי יְהוָה לְהַכְעִיסֹו׃ (4399)

7And 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:

וַיָּשֶׂם אֶת־פֶּסֶל הַסֶּמֶל אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה בְּבֵית הָאֱלֹהִים אֲשֶׁר אָמַר אֱלֹהִים אֶל־דָּוִיד וְאֶל־שְׁלֹמֹה בְנֹו בַּבַּיִת הַזֶּה וּבִירוּשָׁלִַם אֲשֶׁר בָּחַרְתִּי מִכֹּל שִׁבְטֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אָשִׂים אֶת־שְׁמִי לְעֵילֹום׃ (8182)

8Neither 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.

וְלֹא אֹוסִיף לְהָסִיר אֶת־רֶגֶל יִשְׂרָאֵל מֵעַל הָאֲדָמָה אֲשֶׁר הֶעֱמַדְתִּי לַאֲבֹתֵיכֶם רַק ׀ אִם־יִשְׁמְרוּ לַעֲשֹׂות אֵת כָּל־אֲשֶׁר צִוִּיתִים לְכָל־הַתֹּורָה וְהַחֻקִּים וְהַמִּשְׁפָּטִים בְּיַד־מֹשֶׁה׃ (8329)

9So 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.

וַיֶּתַע מְנַשֶּׁה אֶת־יְהוּדָה וְיֹשְׁבֵי יְרוּשָׁלִָם לַעֲשֹׂות רָע מִן־הַגֹּויִם אֲשֶׁר הִשְׁמִיד יְהוָה מִפְּנֵי בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל׃ (5125)

10And the LORD spake to Manasseh, and to his people: but they would not hearken.

וַיְדַבֵּר יְהוָה אֶל־מְנַשֶּׁה וְאֶל־עַמֹּו וְלֹא הִקְשִׁיבוּ׃ (1287)

11Wherefore 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.

וַיָּבֵא יְהוָה עֲלֵיהֶם אֶת־שָׂרֵי הַצָּבָא אֲשֶׁר לְמֶלֶךְ אַשּׁוּר וַיִּלְכְּדוּ אֶת־מְנַשֶּׁה בַּחֹחִים וַיַּאַסְרֻהוּ בַּנְחֻשְׁתַּיִם וַיֹּולִיכֻהוּ בָּבֶלָה׃ (4507)

12And when he was in affliction, he besought the LORD his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers,

וּכְהָצֵר לֹו חִלָּה אֶת־פְּנֵי יְהוָה אֱלֹהָיו וַיִּכָּנַע מְאֹד מִלִּפְנֵי אֱלֹהֵי אֲבֹתָיו׃ (1895)

13And 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.

וַיִּתְפַּלֵּל אֵלָיו וַיֵּעָתֶר לֹו וַיִּשְׁמַע תְּחִנָּתֹו וַיְשִׁיבֵהוּ יְרוּשָׁלִַם לְמַלְכוּתֹו וַיֵּדַע מְנַשֶּׁה כִּי יְהוָה הוּא הָאֱלֹהִים׃ (4716)

14Now 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.

וְאַחֲרֵי־כֵן בָּנָה חֹומָה חִיצֹונָה ׀ לְעִיר־דָּוִיד מַעְרָבָה לְגִיחֹון בַּנַּחַל וְלָבֹוא בְשַׁעַר הַדָּגִים וְסָבַב לָעֹפֶל וַיַּגְבִּיהֶהָ מְאֹד וַיָּשֶׂם שָׂרֵי־חַיִל בְּכָל־הֶעָרִים הַבְּצֻרֹות בִּיהוּדָה׃ (4499)

15And 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.

וַיָּסַר אֶת־אֱלֹהֵי הַנֵּכָר וְאֶת־הַסֶּמֶל מִבֵּית יְהוָה וְכָל־הַמִּזְבְּחֹות אֲשֶׁר בָּנָה בְּהַר בֵּית־יְהוָה וּבִירוּשָׁלִָם וַיַּשְׁלֵךְ חוּצָה לָעִיר׃ (5124)

16And 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.

[וַיָּכֶן כ] (וַיִּבֶן ק) אֶת־מִזְבַּח יְהוָה וַיִּזְבַּח עָלָיו זִבְחֵי שְׁלָמִים וְתֹודָה וַיֹּאמֶר לִיהוּדָה לַעֲבֹוד אֶת־יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל׃ (3218)

17Nevertheless the people did sacrifice still in the high places, yet unto the LORD their God only.

אֲבָל עֹוד הָעָם זֹבְחִים בַּבָּמֹות רַק לַיהוָה אֱלֹהֵיהֶם׃ (1192)

18Now 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.

וְיֶתֶר דִּבְרֵי מְנַשֶּׁה וּתְפִלָּתֹו אֶל־אֱלֹהָיו וְדִבְרֵי הַחֹזִים הַמְדַבְּרִים אֵלָיו בְּשֵׁם יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל הִנָּם עַל־דִּבְרֵי מַלְכֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל׃ (4879)

19His prayer also, and how God was intreated of him, and all his sins, 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.

וּתְפִלָּתֹו וְהֵעָתֶר־לֹו וְכָל־חַטָּאתֹו וּמַעְלֹו וְהַמְּקֹמֹות אֲשֶׁר בָּנָה בָהֶם בָּמֹות וְהֶעֱמִיד הָאֲשֵׁרִים וְהַפְּסִלִים לִפְנֵי הִכָּנְעֹו הִנָּם כְּתוּבִים עַל דִּבְרֵי חֹוזָי׃ (6084)

20So Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they buried him in his own house: and Amon his son reigned in his stead.

וַיִּשְׁכַּב מְנַשֶּׁה עִם־אֲבֹתָיו וַיִּקְבְּרֻהוּ בֵּיתֹו וַיִּמְלֹךְ אָמֹון בְּנֹו תַּחְתָּיו׃ (3094)

21Amon was two and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned two years in Jerusalem.

בֶּן־עֶשְׂרִים וּשְׁתַּיִם שָׁנָה אָמֹון בְּמָלְכֹו וּשְׁתַּיִם שָׁנִים מָלַךְ בִּירוּשָׁלִָם׃ (3812)

22But 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;

וַיַּעַשׂ הָרַע בְּעֵינֵי יְהוָה כַּאֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה מְנַשֶּׁה אָבִיו וּלְכָל־הַפְּסִילִים אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה מְנַשֶּׁה אָבִיו זִבַּח אָמֹון וַיַּעַבְדֵם׃ (3996)

23And humbled not himself before the LORD, as Manasseh his father had humbled himself; but Amon trespassed more and more.

וְלֹא נִכְנַע מִלִּפְנֵי יְהוָה כְּהִכָּנַע מְנַשֶּׁה אָבִיו כִּי הוּא אָמֹון הִרְבָּה אַשְׁמָה׃ (1739)

24And his servants conspired against him, and slew him in his own house.

וַיִּקְשְׁרוּ עָלָיו עֲבָדָיו וַיְמִיתֻהוּ בְּבֵיתֹו׃ (1727)

25But 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.

וַיַּכּוּ עַם־הָאָרֶץ אֵת כָּל־הַקֹּשְׁרִים עַל־הַמֶּלֶךְ אָמֹון וַיַּמְלִיכוּ עַם־הָאָרֶץ אֶת־יֹאשִׁיָּהוּ בְנֹו תַּחְתָּיו׃ (3989)
