Menashshe was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned for fifty five years in Yerushalayim:

Menasheh was twelve years old when he [began] to reign, and he reigned for fifty-five years in Jerusalem.

but he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, like the abominations of the nations, whom the Lord had cast out before the children of Yisra᾽el.

And he did what was evil in the eyes of the L rd, as the abominations of the nations which the L rd had driven out before the children of Israel.

For he built again the high places which Yeĥizqiyyahu his father had broken down, and he reared up altars for the Be῾alim, and made asherot, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served them.

And he rebuilt the mounds that Chizkiyahu his father had destroyed, and he set up altars to the ba'alim, and he made asheiroth, and he bowed down to all the host of heaven and served them.

Also he built altars in the house of the Lord, of which the Lord had said, In Yerushalayim shall my name be for ever.

And he built altars in the house of the L rd, of which the L rd had said: In Jerusalem will I place My name forever.

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

And he built altars to all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the L rd.

And he caused his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom: also he practised divination, and sorcery, and witchcraft, and dealt with mediums, and with wizards: he did much evil in the sight of the Lord, to provoke him to anger.

And he passed his sons through fire in the valley of Ben-hinnom, and onein and nichesh and kishef [viz. Deuteronomy 18:10] and dealt with ov and yidoni [viz. Leviticus 19:31]. He was profuse in doing evil in the eyes of the L rd to anger Him.

And he set up a curved idol, the image which he had made, in the house of God, of which God had said to David and to Shelomo his son, In this house, and in Yerushalayim, which I have chosen before all the tribes of Yisra᾽el, will I put my name for ever:

And he placed the image of the idol that he had made, in the house of G d, of which G d had said to David and to Solomon his son: "In this house and in Jerusalem, which I chose of all the tribes of Israel, shall I place My name forever,

nor will I remove the foot of Yisra᾽el again from out of the land which I have appointed for your fathers; if only they will take heed to do all that I have commanded them, according to the whole Tora and the statutes and the ordinances by the hand of Moshe.

And I will not again remove the foot of Israel from the land that I established for their fathers — but [("I will not remove, etc.")] only if they observe to do according to all that I commanded them, according to all the Torah and the statutes and the judgments (commanded them) by Moses."

So Menashshe made Yehuda and the inhabitants of Yerushalayim to go astray, and to do worse than the nations, whom the Lord had destroyed before the children of Yisra᾽el.

And Menasheh turned Judah and the dwellers of Jerusalem astray to do evil [even more] than the nations that the L rd had destroyed before the children of Israel.

And the Lord spoke to Menashshe, and to his people: but they would not hearken.

And the L rd spoke to Menasheh and to his people, but they did not listen.

So that the Lord brought upon them the captains of the host of the king of Ashshur, who took Menashshe among the thorns, and bound him with fetters, and carried him to Bavel.

And the L rd brought upon them the captains of the host of the king of Ashur. And they took Menasheh with hooks, and they bound him with copper chains, and they led him to Bavel.

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

And, in his torment, he entreated the L rd his G d, and he humbled himself greatly before the G d of his fathers.

And prayed to him: and he received his entreaty, and heard his supplication, and brought him back to Yerushalayim into his kingdom. Then Menashshe knew that the Lord was God.

And he prayed to Him, and He was entreated of him, and He accepted his supplication and returned him to Jerusalem to his kingdom, and Menasheh knew that the L rd is G d.

Now after this he built a wall outside the city of David, on the west side of Giĥon, in the wadi, to the entrance by the fish gate, and he built it round the ῾Ofel, and raised it to a very great height, and put captains of war in all the fortified cities of Yehuda.

And after that he built an outer wall for the city of David, west of Gichon in the valley as you come to the Fish Gate. And he encircled the Ophel and raised it greatly. And he placed military officers in all the fortified cities in Judah.

And 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 mountain of the house of the Lord, and in Yerushalayim, and cast them out of the city.

And he removed the foreign gods and the idol from the house of the L rd, and all the altars that he had built in the mountain of the house of the L rd and in Jerusalem, and he cast (them) outside the city.

And he repaired the altar of the Lord, and sacrificed on it peace offerings and thank offerings, and commanded Yehuda to serve the Lord God of Yisra᾽el.

And he built the altar of the L rd and he sacrificed peace-offerings and thank-offerings upon it. And he charged Judah to serve the L rd, the G d of Israel.

Nevertheless the people still sacrificed in the high places, albeit to the Lord their God only.

But the people continued to sacrifice on the mounds — but only to the L rd their G d.

Now the rest of the acts of Menashshe, and his prayer to his God, and the words of the seers who spoke to him in the name of the Lord God of Yisra᾽el, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Yisra᾽el.

And the rest of the account of the reign of Menasheh and of his prayer to his G d, and the words of the seers who spoke to him in the name of the L rd, the G d of Israel, behold, [they are recorded] in the account of the kings of Israel.

His prayer also, and how it was accepted, and all his sins, and his trespass, and the places on which he built high places, and set up asherim and carved idols before he humbled himself: behold, they are written among the sayings of the seers.

And his prayer, and His being entreated [(and restoring his kingdom)], and all of his sin, and his faithlessness and the places where he built mounds and set up asheirim and graven images before he humbled himself, behold, they are recorded in the words of Chozai.

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

And Menasheh rested with his fathers, and they buried him (in) his house, and Amon his son reigned in his place.

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

Amon was twenty-two years old when he [began] to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem for two years.

But he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, as did Menashshe his father: for Amon sacrificed to all the carved idols which Menashshe his father had made, and served them;

And he did what was evil in the eyes of the L rd, as Menasheh his father had done. And Amon sacrificed to all the graven images that Menasheh his father had made, and he served them.

and he did not humble himself before the Lord, as Menashshe his father had humbled himself; but Amon trespassed more and more.

And he was not humbled before the L rd as Menasheh his father had humbled himself, for he, Amon, increased guilt.

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

And his servants conspired against him and put him to death in his house.

But the people of the land slew all those who had conspired against king Amon; and the people of the land made Yoshiyyahu his son king in his stead.

And the people of the land smote all the conspirators against King Amon, and the people of the land made Yoshiyahu his son king in his place.
