6 Hizo pasar a sus hijos por el fuego en el valle de Ben-hinom. Practicó artes ocultas, interpretó señales para conocer el futuro y recurrió a poderes mágicos. Nombró a personas que se comunicaban con los espíritus y a practicantes de artes ocultas. Hizo mucho mal ante el Señor y provocó su ira.
6 He also made his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom. He practiced sorcery, divination, and witchcraft, and dealt with those who had familiar spirits and with wizards. He did much evil in Yahweh’s sight, to provoke him to anger.

10 El Señor habló a Manasés y a su pueblo, pero no escucharon.

11 Entonces el Señor envió contra ellos a los comandantes del ejército de Asiria. Capturaron a Manasés y lo llevaron encadenado a Babilonia.

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 Después construyó una muralla exterior para la Ciudad de David, al oeste de Gihón, en el valle, hasta la entrada de la puerta de los Peces. Rodeó el Ofel con una muralla muy alta y puso comandantes del ejército en todas las ciudades fortificadas de Judá.
14 Now after this, he built an outer wall to David’s city on the west side of Gihon, in the valley, even to the entrance at the fish gate. 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.

17 El pueblo siguió ofreciendo sacrificios en los santuarios en los lugares altos, pero solo al Señor su Dios.
17 Nevertheless the people still sacrificed in the high places, but only to Yahweh their God.
18 Los demás hechos de Manasés, su oración a Dios y las palabras que los videntes le dijeron en el nombre del Señor, Dios de Israel, están escritos entre los hechos de los reyes de Israel.
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 Su oración y la respuesta de Dios, todos sus pecados y su maldad, y los lugares donde construyó santuarios en los lugares altos, postes de Asera e imágenes antes de humillarse, están escritos en la historia de los videntes.
19 His prayer also, and how God listened to his request, and all his sin and his trespass, and the places in which he built high places and set up the Asherah poles and the engraved images before he humbled himself: behold, they are written in the history of Hozai.
20 Manasés murió y lo sepultaron en su casa. Su hijo Amón reinó en su lugar.

21 Amón tenía veintidós años cuando comenzó a reinar y reinó dos años en Jerusalén.
21 Amon was twenty-two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned two years in Jerusalem.
22 Hizo lo malo ante el Señor, como su padre Manasés. Ofreció sacrificios a todas las imágenes que su padre había hecho y les sirvió.
22 He did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, as did Manasseh his father; and Amon sacrificed to all the engraved images which Manasseh his father had made, and served them.
23 No se humilló ante el Señor como su padre Manasés, sino que siguió pecando cada vez más.
23 He didn’t humble himself before Yahweh, as Manasseh his father had humbled himself; but this same Amon trespassed more and more.
24 Sus servidores conspiraron contra él y lo mataron en su palacio.
24 His servants conspired against him, and put him to death in his own house.
25 El pueblo mató a todos los que habían conspirado contra el rey Amón y puso a su hijo Josías como rey en su lugar.
