33 — 2 Paralipomenon

1Manasses was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem.Dodici anni avea Manasse quando cominciò a regnare, e regnò anni cinquantacinque in Gerusalemme.TWELVE yeares old was Manasses when he began to reigne, and he reigned fiftie fiue yeares in Ierusalem.Duodecim annorum erat Manasses cum regnare cœpisset, et quinquaginta quinque annis regnavit in Jerusalem. 2And he did evil before the Lord, according to all the abominations of the nations, which the Lord cast out before the children of Israel:Ed egli fece il male dinanzi al Signore, imitando le abominazioni delle genti distrutte dal Signore all'arrivo de' figliuoli d'Israele.And he did euil before our Lord, according to al the abominations of the nations, which our Lord ouerthrew before the children of Israel:Fecit autem malum coram Domino, juxta abominationes gentium quas subvertit Dominus coram filiis Israël: 3And 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.Egli si rivolse a rimettere in piedi i luoghi eccelsi demoliti da Ezechia suo padre: ed eresse altari a Baal, e piantò de' boschetti, e adorò tutta la milizia del cielo, e le rendette culto.and being turned, he reedified the excelses which Ezechias his father had destroyed: and he built altars to Baalim, and made groues, and he adored al the host of heauen, and worshipped it.et conversus instauravit excelsa quæ demolitus fuerat Ezechias pater ejus: construxitque aras Baalim, et fecit lucos, et adoravit omnem militiam cæli, et coluit eam. 4He built also altars in the house of the Lord, whereof the Lord had said: In Jerusalem shall my name be for ever.E alzò eziandio degli altari nella casa del Signore, per riguardo alla quale il Signore avea detto: In Gerusalemme sarà in eterno il mio nome.He built also altars in the house of our Lord, wherof our Lord had sayd: In Ierusalem shal my name be for euer.Ædificavit quoque altaria in domo Domini, de qua dixerat Dominus: In Jerusalem erit nomen meum in æternum. 5And he built them for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the Lord.Ed ei gli alzò a tutta quanta la milizia del cielo ne' due portici della casa del Signore.And he built them to al the host of heauen in the two courtes of the house of our Lord.Ædificavit autem ea cuncto exercitui cæli in duobus atriis domus Domini. 6And 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.E fece passar pel fuoco i suoi figliuoli nella valle di Benennom: badava ai sogni, andava dietro agli augurj, attendeva alle arti magiche, teneva seco maghi, e incantatori: e fece mali gran di dinanzi al Signore, provocandolo a sdegno.And he made his sonnes to passe through fyre, to the Valebenennom: he obserued dreames, folowed southsayings, gaue him self to magike artes, he had with him magicians, & inchaunters: and he wrought manie euils before our Lord, to prouoke him.Transireque fecit filios suos per ignem in valle Benennom: observabat somnia, sectabatur auguria, maleficis artibus inserviebat, habebat secum magos et incantatores, multaque mala operatus est coram Domino ut irritaret eum.

7He 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.E pose un idolo di getto nella casa di Dio, riguardo alla quale Dio disse a David, e a Salomone suo figliuolo: In questa casa, e in Gerusalemme eletta da me tra tutte le tribù d'Israele, porrò il nome mio in eterno.Also a grauen, and a molten signe he put in the house of God, wherof our Lord spake to Dauid, and to Salomon his sonne, saying: In this house, and in Ierusalem, which I haue chosen al the tribes of Israel, Wil I put my name for euer,Sculptile quoque et conflatile signum posuit in domo Dei, de qua locutus est Deus ad David, et ad Salomonem filium ejus, dicens: In domo hac, et in Jerusalem quam elegi de cunctis tribubus Israël, ponam nomen meum in sempiternum. 8And 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 have commanded them, and all the law, and the ceremonies, and judgments by the hand of Moses.E farò, che Israele non muova il piede dalla terra, che io diedi ai padri loro: con questo però, ch'ei siano attenti a osservare quello, che io ho comandato ad essi, e tutta la legge, e le cerimonie, e gl'insegnamenti dati loro per mezzo di Mosè.And I wil not make the foote of Israel to moue out of the land, which I haue deliuered to their fathers: yet so if they shal obserue to doe that I haue commanded them, and al the law, and the ceremonies, and iudgementes by the hand of Moyses.Et moveri non faciam pedem Israël de terra quam tradidi patribus eorum: ita dumtaxat si custodierint facere quæ præcepi eis, cunctamque legem, et cæremonias atque judicia, per manum Moysi. 9So 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.Manasse adunque sedusse Giuda, e gli abitanti di Gerusalemme, perchè facessero più di male, che tutte quelle genti, le quali erano state sperse dal Signore all'arrivo de' figliuoli d'Israele.Manasses therfore seduced Iuda, and the inhabitantes of Ierusalem, that they did euil aboue al the nations, which our Lord had ouerthrowen before the face of the children of Israel.Igitur Manasses seduxit Judam, et habitatores Jerusalem, ut facerent malum super omnes gentes quas subverterat Dominus a facie filiorum Israël. 10And the Lord spoke to him, and to his people, and they would not hearken.E il Signore parlò a lui, e al suo popolo, ma non vollero ascoltarlo:And our Lord spake to him, and to his people, and they would not attend.Locutusque est Dominus ad eum, et ad populum illius, et attendere noluerunt.

11Therefore 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.Egli perciò fece venire sopra di loro i principi dell'esercito del re Assiro: i quali fecer prigioniero Manasse, e incatenato mani, e piedi, lo menarono a Babilonia.Therfore he brought vpon them the princes of the host of the king of the Assyrians: and they tooke Manasses, & led him bound with chaynes, and fetters into Babylon.Idcirco superinduxit eis principes exercitus regis Assyriorum: ceperuntque Manassen, et vinctum catenis atque compedibus duxerunt in Babylonem. 12And after that he was in distress he prayed to the Lord his God: and did penance exceedingly before the God of his fathers.E quand'ei si trovò in angustie, invocò il Signore Dio suo; ed ebbe gran pentimento dinanzi al Dio de' padri suoi.Who after that he was in distresse, prayed our Lord his God: and did penance excedingly before the God of his fathers.Qui postquam coangustatus est, oravit Dominum Deum suum: et egit pœnitentiam valde coram Deo patrum suorum. 13And 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.E a lui rivolse le sue preghiere, e le suppliche; ed egli esaudì la sua orazione, e lo ritornò nel suo regno a Gerusalemme; e Manasse conobbe, che il Signore egli è Dio.And he desired him, and besought him earnestly: and he heard his prayer, and brought him agayne to Ierusalem into his kingdom, and Manasses knew that our Lord he was God.Deprecatusque est eum, et obsecravit intente: et exaudivit orationem ejus, reduxitque eum Jerusalem in regnum suum, et cognovit Manasses quod Dominus ipse esset Deus. 14After 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:Egli edificò in appresso la muraglia esteriore della città di David all'occidente di Gihon, nella valle, dall'ingresso della porta de' pesci andando attorno sino ad Ophel, e fece molto alta questa muraglia: e pose dei capi dell'esercito in tutte le città forti di Giuda:After these thinges he built a wal without the citie of Dauid, on the west of Gihon in the valley, from the entrance of the fish gate round about vnto Ophel, and raysed it excedingly: and he appoynted princes of the host in al the fensed cities of Iuda:Post hæc ædificavit murum extra civitatem David ad occidentem Gihon in convalle, ab introitu portæ piscium per circuitum usque ad Ophel, et exaltavit illum vehementer: constituitque principes exercitus in cunctis civitatibus Juda munitis:

15And 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.E tolse dalla casa del Signore gli dei stranieri, e quel simolacro, ed anche gli altari, che avea fatti sul monte della casa del Signore, e in Gerusalemme, e gettò ogni cosa fuora della città.and he tooke away strange goddes, and the idol out of the house of our Lord: the altars also which he had made in the mount of the house of our Lord, and in Ierusalem, and he threw al without the citie.et abstulit deos alienos, et simulacrum de domo Domini: aras quoque, quas fecerat in monte domus Domini et in Jerusalem: et projecit omnia extra urbem. 16And 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.E ristaurò l'altare del Signore: sopra di quello immolò vittime, e ostie pacifiche, e di ringraziamento: e ordinò a Giuda, che servisse al Signore Dio d'Israele.Moreouer he reedified the altar of our Lord, and immolated vpon it victimes, and pacifiques, and prayse: and he commanded Iuda to serue our Lord the God of Israel.Porro instauravit altare Domini, et immolavit super illud victimas, et pacifica, et laudem: præcepitque Judæ ut serviret Domino Deo Israël. 17Nevertheless the people still sacrificed in the high places to the Lord their God.Contuttociò il popolo immolava tutt'ora al Signore Dio suo ne' luoghi eccelsi.Neuerthelesse as yet the people immolated in the excelses to our Lord their God.Attamen adhuc populus immolabat in excelsis Domino Deo suo. 18But 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.Il rimanente poi delle geste di Manasse, l'orazione fatta da lui al suo Dio, e le parole de' profeti, i quali parlavano a fui a nome del Signore Dio d'Israele, si contengono nei libri de' re d'Israele.But the rest of the actes of Manasses: and his obsecration to his God: the wordes also of the Seers, that spake to him in the name of our Lord the God of Israel, are conteyned in the wordes of the kinges of Israel.Reliqua autem gestorum Manasse, et obsecratio ejus ad Deum suum, verba quoque videntium qui loquebantur ad eum in nomine Domini Dei Israël, continentur in sermonibus regum Israël.

19His 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.E le preghiere di lui, e il come egli fu esaudito, e tutti i suoi peccati, e il disprezzo (di Dio), ed anche i luoghi eccelsi, che egli fondò, e i boschetti, e le statue fatte da lui prima che facesse penitenza, sono descritte ne' libri di Hozai.His prayer also, and his obtayning, and al his sinnes, and contempt, the places also wherein he built excelses, and made groues, and statues before he did penance, are writen in the wordes of Hozai.Oratio quoque ejus et exauditio, et cuncta peccata atque contemptus, loca etiam in quibus ædificavit excelsa, et fecit lucos et statuas antequam ageret pœnitentiam, scripta sunt in sermonibus Hozai. 20And Manasses slept with his fathers, and they buried him in his house: and his son Amon reigned in his stead.Manasse adunque si addormentò co' padri suoi, e fu seppellito in sua casa; e Amon suo figliuolo gli succedette nel regno.Manasses therfore slept with his fathers, and they buried him in his house: & his sonne Amon reigned for him.Dormivit ergo Manasses cum patribus suis, et sepelierunt eum in domo sua: regnavitque pro eo filius ejus Amon. 21Amon was two and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem.Ventidue anni aveva Amon quando principiò a regnare, e regnò due anni in Gerusalemme.Ammon was two and twentie yeares old when he began to reigne, and he reigned two yeares in Ierusalem.Viginti duorum annorum erat Amon cum regnare cœpisset, et duobus annis regnavit in Jerusalem. 22And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, as Manasses his father had done: he sacrificed to all the idols which Manasses his father had made, and served them.E fece il male nel cospetto del Signore, come avea fatto Manasse suo padre; e sagrificò, e rendette culto a tutti gl'idoli, che avea fatto Manasse.And he did euil in the fight of our Lord, as Manasses his father had done: and he immolated to al the idols, which Manasses his father had made, and serued them.Fecitque malum in conspectu Domini, sicut fecerat Manasses pater ejus: et cunctis idolis quæ Manasses fuerat fabricatus, immolavit atque servivit. 23And he did not humble himself before the Lord, as Manasses his father had humbled himself, but committed far greater sin.E non ebbe timor del Signore come lo ebbe Manasse suo padre: e commise scelleraggini molto maggiori.And he did not reuerence the face our Lord, as Manasses his father did reuerence it, and he committed farre greater sinnes.Et non est reveritus faciem Domini, sicut reveritus est Manasses pater ejus, et multo majora deliquit.

24And his servants conspired against him, and slew him in his own house.E i suoi servi, fatta congiura contro di lui, lo uccisero nella sua casa.And when his seruantes had conspired agaynst him, they slewe him in his owne house.Cumque conjurassent adversus eum servi sui, interfecerunt eum in domo sua. 25But the rest of the multitude of the people slew them that had killed Amon, and made Josias his son king in his stead.Ma il rimanente del popolo, uccisi quelli, che avean dato morte ad Amon, dichiararono Josia suo figliuolo, suo successore nel regno.Moreouer the rest of the multitude of the people, hauing slaine them that stroke Amon, made Iosias his sonne king for him.Porro reliqua populi multitudo, cæsis iis qui Amon percusserant, constituit regem Josiam filium ejus pro eo.
