Règne de Manassé
1
Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign; and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem.
2
He did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, after the abominations of the nations whom Yahweh 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 the Baals, and made Asheroth, and worshiped all the army of the sky, and served them.
4
He built altars in the house of Yahweh, of which Yahweh said, "My name shall be in Jerusalem forever."
5
He built altars for all the army of the sky in the two courts of the house of Yahweh.
6
He also made his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom; and he practiced sorcery, and used enchantments, and practiced sorcery, and dealt with those who had familiar spirits, and with wizards: he worked much evil in the sight of Yahweh, to provoke him to anger.
7
He set the engraved image of the idol, which he had made, in God's house, 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, will I put my name forever:
8
neither will I any more remove the foot of Israel from off the land which I have appointed for your fathers, if only they will observe to do all that I have commanded them, even all the law and the statutes and the ordinances given by Moses."
9
Manasseh seduced Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that they did more evil than the nations whom Yahweh destroyed before the children of Israel did.
10
Yahweh spoke to Manasseh, and to his people; but they gave no heed.
11
Therefore Yahweh brought on them the captains of the army of the king of Assyria, who took Manasseh in chains, and bound him with fetters, and carried him to Babylon.
12
When he was in distress, he begged Yahweh his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers.
13
He prayed to him; and he was entreated by him, and heard his supplication, and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that Yahweh was God.
14
Now after this he built an outer wall to the city of David, on the west side of Gihon, in the valley, even to the entrance at the fish gate; and he encircled Ophel with it, and raised it up to a very great height: and he put valiant captains in all the fortified cities of Judah.
15
He took away the foreign gods, and the idol out of the house of Yahweh, and all the altars that he had built in the mountain of the house of Yahweh, and in Jerusalem, and cast them out of the city.
16
He built up the altar of Yahweh, and offered thereon sacrifices of peace offerings and of thanksgiving, and commanded Judah to serve Yahweh, the God of Israel.
17
Nevertheless the people sacrificed still in the high places, but only to Yahweh their God.
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 written among the acts of the kings of Israel.
19
His prayer also, and how God was entreated of him, and all his sin and his trespass, and the places in which he built high places, and set up the Asherim and the engraved images, before he humbled himself: behold, they are written in the history of Hozai.
20
So Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they buried him in his own house: and Amon his son reigned in his place.
Règne d'Amon
21
Amon was twenty-two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned two years in Jerusalem.
22
He did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, as did Manasseh his father; and Amon sacrificed to all the engraved images which Manasseh his father had made, and served them.
23
He didn't humble himself before Yahweh, as Manasseh his father had humbled himself; but this same Amon trespassed more and more.
24
His servants conspired against him, and put him to death in his own house.
25
But the people of the land killed all those who had conspired against king Amon; and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his place.

Règne de Manassé
1
Manassé avait 12 ans lorsqu'il devint roi et il régna 55 ans à Jérusalem.
2
Il fit ce qui est mal aux yeux de l'Eternel, en imitant les pratiques abominables des nations que l'Eternel avait dépossédées devant les Israélites.
3
Il reconstruisit les hauts lieux que son père Ezéchias avait démolis, il érigea des autels en l’honneur des Baals et il fit des poteaux sacrés. Il se prosterna devant tous les corps célestes et les servit.
4
Il construisit des autels dans la maison de l'Eternel, alors que l'Eternel avait dit : « C'est à Jérusalem que mon nom résidera pour toujours. »
5
Il construisit des autels en l’honneur de tous les corps célestes dans les deux parvis de la maison de l'Eternel.
6
Il fit passer ses fils par le feu dans la vallée des fils de Hinnom, il pratiqua la divination et l’occultisme, il s'adonna à la magie et il mit en place des gens capables d’invoquer les esprits et des spirites. Il fit de plus en plus ce qui est mal aux yeux de l'Eternel, provoquant ainsi sa colère.
7
Il mit la statue de l'idole qu'il avait fabriquée dans la maison de Dieu, alors que Dieu avait dit à David et à son fils Salomon : « C'est dans cette maison et c'est à Jérusalem, que j'ai choisie parmi toutes les tribus d'Israël, que je veux éternellement établir mon nom.
8
Je n’éloignerai plus les pas des Israélites du territoire que j'ai destiné à vos ancêtres, à condition seulement qu'ils veillent à mettre en pratique tous les commandements que je leur ai donnés, en suivant toute la loi, les prescriptions et les règles transmises par Moïse. »
9
Mais Manassé égara Juda et les habitants de Jérusalem à un tel point qu’ils firent plus encore le mal que les nations que l'Eternel avait détruites devant les Israélites.
10
L'Eternel parla à Manassé et à son peuple, mais ils n'y firent pas attention.
11
Alors l'Eternel fit venir contre eux les chefs de l'armée du roi d'Assyrie. Ils capturèrent Manassé et lui mirent des crochets, l’attachèrent avec des chaînes en bronze et le conduisirent à Babylone.
12
Lorsqu'il fut dans la détresse, il implora l'Eternel, son Dieu, et il s'humilia profondément devant le Dieu de ses ancêtres.
13
Il lui adressa des prières et l'Eternel se laissa fléchir : il exauça ses supplications et le ramena à Jérusalem dans son royaume. Manassé reconnut alors que c’est l'Eternel qui est Dieu.
14
Après cela, il construisit à l’extérieur de la ville de David, à l'ouest, vers Guihon dans la vallée, une muraille qui se prolongeait jusqu'à la porte des poissons et faisait le tour de la colline de l’Ophel. Il la fit très haute. Il mit aussi des chefs militaires dans toutes les villes fortifiées de Juda.
15
Il enleva les dieux étrangers et l'idole de la maison de l'Eternel, ainsi que tous les autels qu'il avait construits sur la montagne de la maison de l'Eternel et à Jérusalem, et il les jeta à l’extérieur de la ville.
16
Il restaura l'autel de l'Eternel, y offrit des sacrifices de communion et de reconnaissance et ordonna à Juda de servir l'Eternel, le Dieu d'Israël.
17
Certes, le peuple offrait encore des sacrifices sur les hauts lieux, mais seulement en l’honneur de l'Eternel, son Dieu.
18
Le reste des actes de Manassé, la prière qu’il a adressée à son Dieu et les paroles des voyants qui lui ont parlé au nom de l'Eternel, le Dieu d'Israël, cela se trouve dans les annales des rois d'Israël.
19
Sa prière et la manière dont Dieu l'a exaucé, tous ses péchés et ses infidélités, les endroits où il a construit des hauts lieux et dressé des poteaux sacrés et des sculptures sacrées avant de s’humilier, cela est décrit dans les annales de Hozaï.
20
Manassé se coucha avec ses ancêtres et on l'enterra dans son palais. Son fils Amon devint roi à sa place.
Règne d'Amon
21
Amon avait 22 ans lorsqu'il devint roi et il régna 2 ans à Jérusalem.
22
Il fit ce qui est mal aux yeux de l'Eternel, comme l’avait fait son père Manassé. Il offrit des sacrifices à toutes les sculptures sacrées que son père Manassé avait fabriquées et les servit.
23
En revanche, il ne s'humilia pas devant l'Eternel comme l’avait fait son père Manassé, car lui, Amon, accumula la culpabilité.
24
Ses serviteurs conspirèrent contre lui et le firent mourir chez lui,
25
mais la population du pays frappa tous ceux qui avaient conspiré contre le roi Amon et proclama son fils Josias roi à sa place.

3
For he built again the high places which Hezekiah his father had broken down; and he reared up altars for the Baals, and made Asheroth, and worshiped all the army of the sky, and served them.
4
He built altars in the house of Yahweh, of which Yahweh said, "My name shall be in Jerusalem forever."
5
He built altars for all the army of the sky in the two courts of the house of Yahweh.
6
He also made his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom; and he practiced sorcery, and used enchantments, and practiced sorcery, and dealt with those who had familiar spirits, and with wizards: he worked much evil in the sight of Yahweh, to provoke him to anger.
7
He set the engraved image of the idol, which he had made, in God's house, 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, will I put my name forever:
8
neither will I any more remove the foot of Israel from off the land which I have appointed for your fathers, if only they will observe to do all that I have commanded them, even all the law and the statutes and the ordinances given by Moses."
9
Manasseh seduced Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that they did more evil than the nations whom Yahweh destroyed before the children of Israel did.
10
Yahweh spoke to Manasseh, and to his people; but they gave no heed.
11
Therefore Yahweh brought on them the captains of the army of the king of Assyria, who took Manasseh in chains, and bound him with fetters, and carried him to Babylon.
12
When he was in distress, he begged Yahweh his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers.
13
He prayed to him; and he was entreated by him, and heard his supplication, and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that Yahweh was God.
14
Now after this he built an outer wall to the city of David, on the west side of Gihon, in the valley, even to the entrance at the fish gate; and he encircled Ophel with it, and raised it up to a very great height: and he put valiant captains in all the fortified cities of Judah.
15
He took away the foreign gods, and the idol out of the house of Yahweh, and all the altars that he had built in the mountain of the house of Yahweh, and in Jerusalem, and cast them out of the city.
16
He built up the altar of Yahweh, and offered thereon sacrifices of peace offerings and of thanksgiving, and commanded Judah to serve Yahweh, the God of Israel.
17
Nevertheless the people sacrificed still in the high places, but only to Yahweh their God.
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 written among the acts of the kings of Israel.
19
His prayer also, and how God was entreated of him, and all his sin and his trespass, and the places in which he built high places, and set up the Asherim and the engraved images, before he humbled himself: behold, they are written in the history of Hozai.
20
So Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they buried him in his own house: and Amon his son reigned in his place.
Règne d'Amon
21
Amon was twenty-two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned two years in Jerusalem.
22
He did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, as did Manasseh his father; and Amon sacrificed to all the engraved images which Manasseh his father had made, and served them.
23
He didn't humble himself before Yahweh, as Manasseh his father had humbled himself; but this same Amon trespassed more and more.
24
His servants conspired against him, and put him to death in his own house.
25
But the people of the land killed all those who had conspired against king Amon; and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his place.
