Четвърта Царства 21
Библия, синодално издание
21 (A)Манасия беше на дванайсет години, когато се възцари, и царува в Иерусалим петдесет години; майка му се казваше Хефциба.
2 (B)Той вършеше, каквото беше неугодно пред очите на Господа, подражавайки гнусотиите на ония народи, които Господ бе прогонил пред лицето на Израилевите синове.
3 (C)Той отново издигна оброчищата, които баща му Езекия бе унищожил, въздигна жертвеници на Ваала и направи дъбрава, както стори израилският цар Ахав; кланяше се на всичкото небесно войнство и му служеше;
4 (D)и съзида жертвеници в дома Господен, за който Господ бе казал: в Иерусалим ще туря името Си.
5 Той съгради жертвеници за цялото небесно войнство в двата двора на дома Господен;
6 (E)прекара през огън сина си, гадаеше и врачуваше; набави си извиквачи на мъртъвци и магьосници и извърши много неугодно пред очите на Господа, за да Го разгневи.
7 (F)Той направи истукан на Астарта и го постави в дома, за който Господ бе говорил на Давида и на сина му Соломона: в тоя дом и в Иерусалим, който Аз избрах измежду всички Израилеви колена, турям името Си навеки;
8 (G)и занапред няма да оставя ногата на Израиля да излезе из земята, която съм дал на отците им, само ако те залягат да постъпват според всичко онова, що съм заповядал, и според целия закон, който им даде Моят раб Мойсей.
9 (H)Но те не послушаха; и Манасия ги разврати дотам, че те постъпваха по-лошо и от ония народи, които Господ бе изтребил отпред лицето на Израилевите синове.
10 (I)И говори Господ чрез Своите раби пророците, и каза:
11 (J)задето иудейският цар Манасия извърши тия гнусотии, по-лоши от всичко онова, що вършиха аморейци, които бяха преди него, и вкара Иуда в грях със своите идоли,
12 (K)затова тъй говори Господ, Бог Израилев.: ето, ще напратя върху Иерусалим и върху Иуда такова зло, че който чуе за него, ще му писнат и двете уши;
13 (L)и ще простра над Иерусалим мерилната връв на Самария и отвеса на Ахавовия дом, и ще изтрия Иерусалим тъй, както изтриват паница, – изтриват я и я захлупват;
14 ще отхвърля остатъка от Моя дял и ще ги предам в ръцете на враговете им, и те ще бъдат разграбени и плячкосани от всичките си неприятели,
15 (M)задето вършеха, каквото беше неугодно пред очите Ми и Ме разгневяваха от оня ден, в който отците им излязоха из Египет, дори доднес.
16 (N)А при това Манасия проля и твърде много невинна кръв, та напълни с нея Иерусалим открай докрай, освен своя грях, дето въвлече Иуда в грях, да върши неугодно пред очите Господни.
17 (O)Останалото за Манасия и за всичко, що е той извършил, и за греховете му, с които е съгрешил, е описано в летописите на иудейските царе.
18 (P)И почина Манасия при отците си, и биде погребан в градината при дома му, в градината на Уза. И вместо него се възцари син му Амон.
19 (Q)Амон беше на двайсет и две години, когато се възцари, и царува в Иерусалим две години; майка му се казваше Мешулемет, дъщеря на Харуца, от Ятба.
20 (R)Той вършеше, каквото беше неугодно пред очите на Господа, тъй, както вършеше баща му Манасия:
21 ходеше тъкмо по същия път, по който ходеше баща му; служеше на идолите, на които служеше баща му, и им се кланяше;
22 (S)той остави Господа, Бога на отците си, и не ходеше по пътя Господен.
23 (T)Амоновите слуги направиха съзаклятие против него и убиха царя в дома му.
24 (U)Ала народът на страната изби всички съзаклятници против цар Амона; и народът на страната възцари вместо него сина му Иосия.
25 (V)Останалото за Амона, що е той извършил, е описано в летописите на иудейските царе.
26 (W)И погребаха го в гробницата му, в градината на Уза. И вместо него се възцари син му Иосия.
2 Kings 21
King James Version
21 Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and reigned fifty and five years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Hephzibah.
2 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, after the abominations of the heathen, whom the Lord cast out before the children of Israel.
3 For he built up again the high places which Hezekiah his father had destroyed; and he reared up altars for Baal, and made a grove, as did Ahab king of Israel; and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served them.
4 And he built altars in the house of the Lord, of which the Lord said, In Jerusalem will I put my name.
5 And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the Lord.
6 And he made his son pass through the fire, and observed times, and used enchantments, and dealt with familiar spirits and wizards: he wrought much wickedness in the sight of the Lord, to provoke him to anger.
7 And he set a graven image of the grove 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 tribes of Israel, will I put my name for ever:
8 Neither will I make the feet of Israel move any more out of the land which I gave their fathers; only if 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.
9 But they hearkened not: and Manasseh seduced them to do more evil than did the nations whom the Lord destroyed before the children of Israel.
10 And the Lord spake by his servants the prophets, saying,
11 Because Manasseh king of Judah hath done these abominations, and hath done wickedly above all that the Amorites did, which were before him, and hath made Judah also to sin with his idols:
12 Therefore thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Behold, I am bringing such evil upon Jerusalem and Judah, that whosoever heareth of it, both his ears shall tingle.
13 And I will stretch over Jerusalem the line of Samaria, and the plummet of the house of Ahab: and I will wipe Jerusalem as a man wipeth a dish, wiping it, and turning it upside down.
14 And I will forsake the remnant of mine inheritance, and deliver them into the hand of their enemies; and they shall become a prey and a spoil to all their enemies;
15 Because they have done that which was evil in my sight, and have provoked me to anger, since the day their fathers came forth out of Egypt, even unto this day.
16 Moreover Manasseh shed innocent blood very much, till he had filled Jerusalem from one end to another; beside his sin wherewith he made Judah to sin, in doing that which was evil in the sight of the Lord.
17 Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and all that he did, and his sin that he sinned, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
18 And Manasseh 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 stead.
19 Amon was twenty and two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Meshullemeth, the daughter of Haruz of Jotbah.
20 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, as his father Manasseh did.
21 And he walked in all the way that his father walked in, and served the idols that his father served, and worshipped them:
22 And he forsook the Lord God of his fathers, and walked not in the way of the Lord.
23 And the servants of Amon conspired against him, and slew the king in his own house.
24 And 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.
25 Now the rest of the acts of Amon which he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
26 And he was buried in his sepulchre in the garden of Uzza: and Josiah his son reigned in his stead.
2 Kings 21
New King James Version
Manasseh Reigns in Judah(A)
21 Manasseh (B)was twelve years old when he became king, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Hephzibah. 2 And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, (C)according to the abominations of the nations whom the Lord had cast out before the children of Israel. 3 For he rebuilt the [a]high places (D)which Hezekiah his father had destroyed; he raised up altars for Baal, and made a [b]wooden image, (E)as Ahab king of Israel had done; and he (F)worshiped all [c]the host of heaven and served them. 4 (G)He also built altars in the house of the Lord, of which the Lord had said, (H)“In Jerusalem I will put My name.” 5 And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the (I)two courts of the house of the Lord. 6 (J)Also he made his son pass through the fire, practiced (K)soothsaying, used witchcraft, and consulted spiritists and mediums. He did much evil in the sight of the Lord, to provoke Him to anger. 7 He even set a carved image of [d]Asherah that he had made, in the [e]house of which the Lord had said to David and to Solomon his son, (L)“In this house and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, I will put My name forever; 8 (M)and I will not make the feet of Israel wander anymore from the land which I gave their fathers—only if they are careful to do according to all that I have commanded them, and according to all the law that My servant Moses commanded them.” 9 But they paid no attention, and Manasseh (N)seduced them to do more evil than the nations whom the Lord had destroyed before the children of Israel.
10 And the Lord spoke (O)by His servants the prophets, saying, 11 (P)“Because Manasseh king of Judah has done these abominations ((Q)he has acted more wickedly than all the (R)Amorites who were before him, and (S)has also made Judah sin with his idols), 12 therefore thus says the Lord God of Israel: ‘Behold, I am bringing such calamity upon Jerusalem and Judah, that whoever hears of it, both (T)his ears will tingle. 13 And I will stretch over Jerusalem (U)the measuring line of Samaria and the plummet of the house of Ahab; (V)I will wipe Jerusalem as one wipes a dish, wiping it and turning it upside down. 14 So I will forsake the (W)remnant of My inheritance and deliver them into the hand of their enemies; and they shall become victims of plunder to all their enemies, 15 because they have done evil in My sight, and have provoked Me to anger since the day their fathers came out of Egypt, even to this day.’ ”
16 (X)Moreover Manasseh shed very much innocent blood, till he had filled Jerusalem from one end to another, besides his sin by which he made Judah sin, in doing evil in the sight of the Lord.
17 Now (Y)the rest of the acts of (Z)Manasseh—all that he did, and the sin that he committed—are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? 18 So (AA)Manasseh [f]rested with his fathers, and was buried in the garden of his own house, in the garden of Uzza. Then his son Amon reigned in his place.
Amon’s Reign and Death(AB)
19 (AC)Amon was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Meshullemeth the daughter of Haruz of Jotbah. 20 And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, (AD)as his father Manasseh had done. 21 So he walked in all the ways that his father had walked; and he served the idols that his father had served, and worshiped them. 22 He (AE)forsook the Lord God of his fathers, and did not walk in the way of the Lord.
23 (AF)Then the servants of Amon (AG)conspired against him, and killed the king in his own house. 24 But the people of the land (AH)executed all those who had conspired against King Amon. Then the people of the land made his son Josiah king in his place.
25 Now the rest of the acts of Amon which he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? 26 And he was buried in his tomb in the garden of Uzza. Then Josiah his son reigned in his place.
