1 Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem. MANASSEH king of Judah. 2Chr.33.1-9 | 2Kgs.21.1-9בֶּן־שְׁתֵּים עֶשְׂרֵה שָׁנָה מְנַשֶּׁה בְמָלְכֹו וַחֲמִשִּׁים וְחָמֵשׁ שָׁנָה מָלַךְ בִּירוּשָׁלִָם׃
2 He did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh, according to the abominable practices of the nations whom Yahweh drove out before the people of Israel.  וַיַּעַשׂ הָרַע בְּעֵינֵי יְהוָה כְּתֹועֲבֹות הַגֹּויִם אֲשֶׁר הֹורִישׁ יְהוָה מִפְּנֵי בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל׃
3 For he rebuilt the high places which his father Hezekiah had broken down, and erected altars to the Baals, and made Asherahs, 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׃
4 And he built altars in the house of Yahweh, of which Yahweh had said, "In Jerusalem shall my name be for ever."  וּבָנָה מִזְבְּחֹות בְּבֵית יְהוָה אֲשֶׁר אָמַר יְהוָה בִּירוּשָׁלִַם יִהְיֶה־שְּׁמִי לְעֹולָם׃
5 And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of Yahweh.  וַיִּבֶן מִזְבְּחֹות לְכָל־צְבָא הַשָּׁמָיִם בִּשְׁתֵּי חַצְרֹות בֵּית־יְהוָה׃
6 And he burned his sons as an offering in the valley of the son of Hinnom, and practiced soothsaying and augury and sorcery, and dealt with mediums and with wizards. He did much evil in the sight of Yahweh, provoking him to anger.  וְהוּא הֶעֱבִיר אֶת־בָּנָיו בָּאֵשׁ בְּגֵי בֶן־הִנֹּם וְעֹוןֵן וְנִחֵשׁ וְכִשֵּׁף וְעָשָׂה אֹוב וְיִדְּעֹונִי הִרְבָּה לַעֲשֹׂות הָרַע בְּעֵינֵי יְהוָה לְהַכְעִיסֹו׃
7 And the image of the idol which 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 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׃
8 and I will no more remove the foot of Israel from the land which 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 ordinances given through 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׃
9 Manasseh seduced Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that they did more evil than the nations whom Yahweh destroyed before the people of Israel.  וַיֶּתַע מְנַשֶּׁה אֶת־יְהוּדָה וְיֹשְׁבֵי יְרוּשָׁלִָם לַעֲשֹׂות רָע מִן־הַגֹּויִם אֲשֶׁר הִשְׁמִיד יְהוָה מִפְּנֵי בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל׃ ף
10 Yahweh spoke to Manasseh and to his people, but they gave no heed. Manasseh repents. 2Chr.33.10-17וַיְדַבֵּר יְהוָה אֶל־מְנַשֶּׁה וְאֶל־עַמֹּו וְלֹא הִקְשִׁיבוּ׃
11 Therefore Yahweh brought upon them the commanders of the army of the king of Assyria, who took Manasseh with hooks and bound him with fetters of bronze and brought him to Babylon.  וַיָּבֵא יְהוָה עֲלֵיהֶם אֶת־שָׂרֵי הַצָּבָא אֲשֶׁר לְמֶלֶךְ אַשּׁוּר וַיִּלְכְּדוּ אֶת־מְנַשֶּׁה בַּחֹחִים וַיַּאַסְרֻהוּ בַּנְחֻשְׁתַּיִם וַיֹּולִיכֻהוּ בָּבֶלָה׃
12 And when he was in distress he entreated the favour of Yahweh his God and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers.  וּכְהָצֵר לֹו חִלָּה אֶת־פְּנֵי יְהוָה אֱלֹהָיו וַיִּכָּנַע מְאֹד מִלִּפְנֵי אֱלֹהֵי אֲבֹתָיו׃
13 He prayed to him, and God received his entreaty and heard his supplication and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that Yahweh was God.  וַיִּתְפַּלֵּל אֵלָיו וַיֵּעָתֶר לֹו וַיִּשְׁמַע תְּחִנָּתֹו וַיְשִׁיבֵהוּ יְרוּשָׁלִַם לְמַלְכוּתֹו וַיֵּדַע מְנַשֶּׁה כִּי יְהוָה הוּא הָאֱלֹהִים׃
14 Afterwards 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 round Ophel, and raised it to a very great height; he also put commanders of the army in all the fortified cities in 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׃
15 And he took away the foreign gods and the idol from the house of Yahweh, and all the altars that he had built on the mountain of the house of Yahweh and in Jerusalem, and he threw them outside of the city.  וַיָּסַר אֶת־אֱלֹהֵי הַנֵּכָר וְאֶת־הַסֶּמֶל מִבֵּית יְהוָה וְכָל־הַמִּזְבְּחֹות אֲשֶׁר בָּנָה בְּהַר בֵּית־יְהוָה וּבִירוּשָׁלִָם וַיַּשְׁלֵךְ חוּצָה לָעִיר׃
16 He also restored the altar of Yahweh and offered upon it sacrifices of peace offerings and of thanksgiving; and he commanded Judah to serve Yahweh the God of Israel.  [כ= וַיָּכֶן] [ק= וַיִּבֶן] אֶת־מִזְבַּח יְהוָה וַיִּזְבַּח עָלָיו זִבְחֵי שְׁלָמִים וְתֹודָה וַיֹּאמֶר לִיהוּדָה לַעֲבֹוד אֶת־יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל׃
17 Nevertheless the people still sacrificed at the high places, but only to Yahweh their God.  אֲבָל עֹוד הָעָם זֹבְחִים בַּבָּמֹות רַק לַיהוָה אֱלֹהֵיהֶם׃
18 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 Yahweh the God of Israel, behold, they are in the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel. The end of Manasseh's reign. 2Chr.33.18-20 | 2Kgs.21.17-18וְיֶתֶר דִּבְרֵי מְנַשֶּׁה וּתְפִלָּתֹו אֶל־אֱלֹהָיו וְדִבְרֵי הַחֹזִים הַמְדַבְּרִים אֵלָיו בְּשֵׁם יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל הִנָּם עַל־דִּבְרֵי מַלְכֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל׃
19 And his prayer, and how God received 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.  וּתְפִלָּתֹו וְהֵעָתֶר־לֹו וְכָל־חַטָּאתֹו וּמַעְלֹו וְהַמְּקֹמֹות אֲשֶׁר בָּנָה בָהֶם בָּמֹות וְהֶעֱמִיד הָאֲשֵׁרִים וְהַפְּסִלִים לִפְנֵי הִכָּנְעֹו הִנָּם כְּתוּבִים עַל דִּבְרֵי חֹוזָי׃
20 So Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they buried him in his house; and Amon his son reigned in his stead.  וַיִּשְׁכַּב מְנַשֶּׁה עִם־אֲבֹתָיו וַיִּקְבְּרֻהוּ בֵּיתֹו וַיִּמְלֹךְ אָמֹון בְּנֹו תַּחְתָּיו׃ ף
21 Amon was twenty-two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem. AMON king of Judah. 2Chr.33.21-25 | 2Kgs.21.19-26בֶּן־עֶשְׂרִים וּשְׁתַּיִם שָׁנָה אָמֹון בְּמָלְכֹו וּשְׁתַּיִם שָׁנִים מָלַךְ בִּירוּשָׁלִָם׃
22 He did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh, as Manasseh his father had done. Amon sacrificed to all the images that 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׃
23 And he did not humble himself before Yahweh, as Manasseh his father had humbled himself, but this Amon incurred guilt more and more.  וְלֹא נִכְנַע מִלִּפְנֵי יְהוָה כְּהִכָּנַע מְנַשֶּׁה אָבִיו כִּי הוּא אָמֹון הִרְבָּה אַשְׁמָה׃
24 And his servants conspired against him and killed him in his house.  וַיִּקְשְׁרוּ עָלָיו עֲבָדָיו וַיְמִיתֻהוּ בְּבֵיתֹו׃
25 But the people of the land slew all those who 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׃ ף

Notes: This webpage enables you to select-a-version from the Bible versions held on the katapi bible database.
The katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE is a very light revision of the RSV. The changes are: (1) In places where 'the LORD', 'O LORD' occurs in the RSV, (it represents the tetragrammaton - YHWH - which is in the hebrew text), I have printed 'YHWH' in black. The later vowel sounds I have shown in the colour gray;
(2) I have removed the quotation marks and hyphens that were used in so many names in the RSV as an aid to correct pronunciation. This now brings it in line with all other English versions, and makes any word-search more accurate.
(3) I have changed all (I hope!) of the RSV archaic language sections to modern.

The katapi New Study Bible reference section displays links to parallel passages, and to direct quotations by New Testament authors to Old Testament passages. Quotations of OT passages by NT authors can in most cases be viewed within their context of the OT passage as a whole, with the quoted text displayed, against a subdued background.
