猶大王瑪拿西
33 瑪拿西十二歲登基，在耶路撒冷執政五十五年。 2 他做耶和華視為惡的事，效法耶和華在以色列人面前趕走的外族人的可憎行徑。 3 他重建他父親希西迦拆毀的邱壇，為巴力築造祭壇，製造亞舍拉神像，並祭拜和供奉天上的萬象。 4 耶和華曾指著祂的殿說：「我的名必永遠在耶路撒冷。」他卻在耶和華的殿內建造異教的祭壇。 5 他在耶和華殿的兩個院子裡建造祭拜天上萬象的祭壇。 6 他還在欣嫩子谷把自己的兒子燒死，獻作祭物。他行巫術、占卜、觀兆，求問靈媒和巫師。他做了許多耶和華視為惡的事，惹耶和華發怒。 7 他雕刻偶像，放在上帝的殿中。關於這殿，上帝曾經對大衛和他兒子所羅門說：「我從以色列眾支派中選擇了這殿和耶路撒冷，我的名要在這裡永遠受尊崇。 8 只要以色列人謹遵我藉著摩西頒給他們的一切法度、律例和典章，我就不再把他們從我賜給他們祖先的土地上趕走。」 9 瑪拿西誘使猶大人和耶路撒冷的居民作惡，比耶和華在以色列人面前所毀滅的各族更嚴重。
瑪拿西悔改
10 耶和華警告瑪拿西和他的百姓，他們卻不肯聽從。 11 所以，耶和華就差遣亞述王的將領來攻擊他們，他們捉住瑪拿西，用鉤子鉤著他，用銅鏈鎖著他押往巴比倫。 12 在困苦中，瑪拿西祈求他的上帝耶和華的幫助，並且在他祖先的上帝面前極其謙卑。 13 耶和華應允他的禱告，垂聽他的懇求，使他返回耶路撒冷繼續做王。瑪拿西這才明白耶和華是上帝。
14 這事以後，瑪拿西重建大衛城的外牆，從谷中基訓泉的西邊直到魚門口，環繞俄斐勒，築高城牆。他又派將領駐紮猶大各堅城。 15 瑪拿西將偶像和外族人的神像從耶和華的殿中除去，又把他在聖殿山和耶路撒冷築造的一切祭壇全部拆掉，扔在城外。 16 他重建耶和華的祭壇，在上面獻平安祭和感恩祭，又吩咐猶大人事奉以色列的上帝耶和華。 17 然而，眾人仍然在邱壇獻祭，只是獻給他們的上帝耶和華。
瑪拿西逝世
18 瑪拿西其他的事、他向上帝的禱告以及先見奉以色列的上帝耶和華的名對他說的話，都記在以色列的列王史上。 19 他的禱告，上帝的答覆，他在謙卑下來之前的罪惡和不忠，他在哪裡修築邱壇以及設立亞舍拉神像和其他偶像的事，都記在《先知書》[a]上。 20 瑪拿西與祖先同眠後，葬在宮內，他兒子亞們繼位。
亞們做猶大王
21 亞們二十二歲登基，在耶路撒冷執政兩年。 22 亞們效法他父親瑪拿西，做耶和華視為惡的事。他祭拜和供奉他父親瑪拿西製造的一切偶像。 23 可是，亞們沒有像他父親瑪拿西一樣在耶和華面前謙卑下來。相反，他犯的罪日益增加。 24 他的臣僕謀反，在王宮裡殺了他。 25 民眾殺死那些背叛亞們王的人，立他兒子約西亞為王。

2 Chronicles 33
King James Version
33 Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty and five years in Jerusalem:
2 But 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.
3 For 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.
4 Also he built altars in the house of the Lord, whereof the Lord had said, In Jerusalem shall my name be for ever.
5 And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the Lord.
6 And 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.
7 And 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:
8 Neither 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.
9 So 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.
10 And the Lord spake to Manasseh, and to his people: but they would not hearken.
11 Wherefore 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.
12 And when he was in affliction, he besought the Lord his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers,
13 And 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.
14 Now 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.
15 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 mount of the house of the Lord, and in Jerusalem, and cast them out of the city.
16 And 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.
17 Nevertheless the people did sacrifice still in the high places, yet unto the Lord their God only.
18 Now 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.
19 His 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.
20 So Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they buried him in his own house: and Amon his son reigned in his stead.
21 Amon was two and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned two years in Jerusalem.
22 But 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;
23 And humbled not himself before the Lord, as Manasseh his father had humbled himself; but Amon trespassed more and more.
24 And his servants conspired against him, and slew him in his own house.
25 But 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.
2 Chronicles 33
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
33 Manasses was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem.
2 And he did evil before the Lord, according to all the abominations of the nations, which the Lord cast out before the children of Israel:
3 And he turned, and built again the high places which Ezechias his father had destroyed: and he built altars to Baalim, and made groves, and he adored all the host of heaven, and worshipped them.
4 He built also altars in the house of the Lord, whereof the Lord had said: In Jerusalem shall my name be for ever.
5 And he built them for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the Lord.
6 And he made his sons to pass through the fire in the valley of Benennom: he observed dreams, followed divinations, gave himself up to magic arts, had with him magicians, and enchanters: and he wrought many evils before the Lord, to provoke him to anger.
7 He set also a graven, and a molten statue 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 out of all the tribes of Israel, will I put my name for ever.
8 And I will not make the foot of Israel to be removed out of the land which I have delivered to their fathers: yet so if they will take heed to do what I hare commanded them, and all the law, and the ceremonies, and judgments by the hand of Moses.
9 So Manasses seduced Juda, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, to do evil beyond all the nations, which the Lord had destroyed before the face of the children of Israel.
10 And the Lord spoke to him, and to his people, and they would not hearken.
11 Therefore he brought upon them the captains of the army of the king of the Assyrians: and they took Manasses, and carried him bound with chains and fetters to Babylon.
12 And after that he was in distress he prayed to the Lord his God: and did penance exceedingly before the God of his fathers.
13 And he entreated him, and besought him earnestly: and he heard his prayer, and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom, and Manasses knew that the Lord was God.
14 After this he built a wall without the city of David, on the west side of Gihon in the valley, from the entering in of the fish gate round about to Ophel, and raised it up to a great height: and he appointed captains of the army in all the fenced cities of Juda:
15 And he took away the strange gods, and the idol out of the house of the Lord: the altars also which he had made in the mount of the house of the Lord, and in Jerusalem, and he cast them all out of the city.
16 And he repaired the altar of the Lord, and sacrificed upon it victims, and peace offerings, and praise: and he commanded Juda to serve the Lord the God of Israel.
17 Nevertheless the people still sacrificed in the high places to the Lord their God.
18 But the rest of the acts of Manasses, and his prayer to his God, and the words of the seers that spoke to him in the name of the Lord the God of Israel, are contained in the words of the kings of Israel.
19 His prayer also, and his being heard, and all his sins, and contempt, and places wherein he built high places, and set up groves, and statues before he did penance, are written in the words of Hozai.
20 And Manasses slept with his fathers. and they buried him in his house: and his son Amen reigned in his stead.
21 Amen was two and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem.
22 And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, as Manasses his father had done: and he sacrificed to all the idols which Manasses his father had made, and served them.
23 And he did not humble himself before the Lord, as Manasses his father had humbled himself, but committed far greater sins.
24 And his servants conspired against him, and slew him in his own house.
25 But the rest of the multitude of the people slew them that had killed Amen, and made Josias his son king in his stead.

瑪拿西作猶大王(A)
33 瑪拿西登基的時候，是十二歲；他在耶路撒冷作王共五十五年。 2 他行耶和華看為惡的事，隨從耶和華在以色列人面前趕走的列國所行可厭惡的事。 3 他重新建造他父親希西家拆毀的邱壇，又為巴力立壇，製造亞舍拉，並且敬拜和事奉天上的萬象。 4 他又在耶和華的殿中築壇，耶和華曾經指著這殿說：“我的名必永遠留在耶路撒冷。” 5 瑪拿西在耶和華殿的兩院中，為天上的萬象築壇， 6 並且在欣嫩子谷把自己的兒女用火燒為祭，又占卜、行邪術、用法術、交鬼和通靈；作了很多耶和華看為惡的事，惹他發怒。 7 他又把他所做的雕像立在 神的殿中， 神曾經指著這殿，對大衛和他的兒子所羅門說：“我要在這殿裡，和在我從以色列各支派中揀選的耶路撒冷中，立我的名，直到永遠。 8 只要以色列人謹守遵行我藉著摩西吩咐他們的一切律法、律例和典章，我就決不再使他們的腳離開我賜給他們列祖的地。” 9 可是瑪拿西卻引誘猶大人和耶路撒冷的居民行惡，比耶和華在以色列人面前除滅的列國更厲害。
因悖逆而被擄
10 耶和華曾警告瑪拿西和他的人民，他們卻不理會。 11 因此耶和華領亞述王的將帥來攻打他們，用鈎子鈎著瑪拿西，用銅鍊鎖住他，把他帶到巴比倫去。
因悔改而回歸
12 瑪拿西在急難的時候，就懇求耶和華他的 神，並且在他列祖的 神面前非常謙卑。 13 他向耶和華禱告，耶和華應允他的懇求，垂聽他的祈求，使他歸回耶路撒冷，恢復他的王位。瑪拿西這才知道只有耶和華是 神。
14 此後，瑪拿西在大衛城外，從谷中的基訓西邊起直到魚門口，建了一道城牆，圍繞著俄斐勒，他把城牆建得很高；又在猶大各設防城裡，派駐軍長。
除掉一切偶像
15 又從耶和華的殿中除掉外族人的神和偶像，又把他在耶和華殿的山和在耶路撒冷所築的一切壇，都拋出城外。 16 瑪拿西重修了耶和華的祭壇，在壇上獻上平安祭和感恩祭，又吩咐猶大人事奉耶和華以色列的 神。 17 可是人民仍然在邱壇上獻祭，儘管只向耶和華他們的 神獻祭。
瑪拿西逝世(B)
18 瑪拿西其餘的事蹟，包括他對他的 神的禱告，和那些先見奉耶和華以色列的 神的名向他所說的話，都記在以色列諸王記上。 19 他的禱告， 神怎樣應允他的懇求，他謙卑下來以前的一切罪惡和過犯，以及他在甚麼地方建築邱壇，設立亞舍拉和偶像，都記在先見（按照《馬索拉文本》的絕大部分抄本，“先見”作“何賽”，原文與“先見”相似；現參照另一份抄本和《七十士譯本》翻譯）的言行錄上。 20 瑪拿西和他的列祖同睡，埋葬在他的宮中；他的兒子亞們接續他作王。
亞們作猶大王(C)
21 亞們登基的時候，是二十二歲；他在耶路撒冷作王共兩年。 22 他行耶和華看為惡的事，像他父親瑪拿西所行的一樣；亞們向他父親瑪拿西所做的一切雕像獻祭，並且事奉它們。 23 他沒有在耶和華面前謙卑，像他父親瑪拿西謙卑一樣；這亞們所犯的罪過越來越多。 24 後來，他的臣僕陰謀造反，在宮中把他殺死了。 25 但猶大的人民把所有反叛亞們王的人都擊殺了，並且立他的兒子約西亞接續他作王。
