WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)

1 Manasés tenía doce años cuando comenzó a reinar, y reinó cincuenta y cinco años en Jerusalén. Su madre se llamaba Hepsiba.

1 Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Hephzibah.

2 Hizo lo malo ante los ojos del Señor. Imitó las prácticas detestables de las naciones que el Señor había expulsado ante los israelitas.

2 He did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, after the abominations of the nations whom Yahweh cast out before the children of Israel.

3 Reconstruyó los santuarios en los lugares altos que su padre Ezequías había destruido. Levantó altares a Baal e hizo una imagen de Asera, como había hecho Acab, rey de Israel. También adoró y sirvió a todos los astros del cielo.

3 For he built again the high places which Hezekiah his father had destroyed; and he raised up altars for Baal, and made an Asherah, as Ahab king of Israel did, and worshiped all the army of the sky, and served them.

4 Construyó altares dentro del templo del Señor, aunque el Señor había dicho: «En Jerusalén pondré mi nombre».

4 He built altars in Yahweh’s house, of which Yahweh said, “I will put my name in Jerusalem.”

5 En los dos patios del templo del Señor levantó altares a todos los astros del cielo.

5 He built altars for all the army of the sky in the two courts of Yahweh’s house.

6 Hizo pasar a su hijo por el fuego, practicó la adivinación y la hechicería y consultó a los que invocaban espíritus y a los adivinos. Hizo mucho mal ante los ojos del Señor y provocó su ira.

6 He made his son to pass through the fire, practiced sorcery, used enchantments, and dealt with those who had familiar spirits and with wizards. He did much evil in Yahweh’s sight, to provoke him to anger.

7 Colocó en el templo la imagen de Asera que había hecho, aunque el Señor había dicho a David y a su hijo Salomón: «En este templo y en Jerusalén, la ciudad que escogí de entre todas las tribus de Israel, pondré mi nombre para siempre.

7 He set the engraved image of Asherah that he had made in the house of which Yahweh 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, I will put my name forever;

8 No permitiré que Israel vuelva a vagar lejos de la tierra que di a sus antepasados, siempre que obedezca todo lo que le he mandado y toda la ley que le di por medio de mi servidor Moisés».

8 I will not cause the feet of Israel to wander any more out of the land which I gave their fathers, if only 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 Pero el pueblo no escuchó. Manasés lo llevó a hacer más mal que las naciones que el Señor había destruido ante los israelitas.

9 But they didn’t listen, and Manasseh seduced them to do that which is evil more than the nations did whom Yahweh destroyed before the children of Israel.

10 Entonces el Señor habló por medio de sus servidores los profetas:

10 Yahweh spoke by his servants the prophets, saying,

11 «Manasés, rey de Judá, ha cometido prácticas detestables. Ha hecho más mal que los amorreos que vivieron antes que él y, con sus ídolos, ha hecho pecar a Judá.

11 “Because Manasseh king of Judah has done these abominations, and has done wickedly above all that the Amorites did, who were before him, and has also made Judah to sin with his idols;

12 Por eso yo, el Señor, Dios de Israel, traeré sobre Jerusalén y Judá una desgracia tan grande que a todos los que se enteren les zumbarán los oídos.

12 therefore Yahweh the God of Israel says, ‘Behold, I will bring such evil on Jerusalem and Judah that whoever hears of it, both his ears will tingle.

13 Mediré a Jerusalén con el mismo cordel con que medí a Samaria y a la familia de Acab. Limpiaré a Jerusalén como se limpia un plato, y luego lo pondré boca abajo.

13 I will stretch over Jerusalem the line of Samaria, and the plumb line of Ahab’s house; and I will wipe Jerusalem as a man wipes a dish, wiping it and turning it upside down.

14 Abandonaré al resto del pueblo que escogí y lo entregaré en manos de sus enemigos, que lo saquearán.

14 I will cast off the remnant of my inheritance and deliver them into the hands of their enemies. They will become a prey and a plunder to all their enemies,

15 Desde que sus antepasados salieron de Egipto hasta hoy, han hecho lo malo ante mis ojos y han provocado mi ira».

15 because they have done that which is evil in my sight, and have provoked me to anger since the day their fathers came out of Egypt, even to this day.’”

16 Manasés también derramó mucha sangre inocente, hasta llenar Jerusalén de un extremo al otro. Además hizo pecar a Judá contra el Señor.

16 Moreover Manasseh shed innocent blood very much, until he had filled Jerusalem from one end to another; in addition to his sin with which he made Judah to sin, in doing that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight.

17 Los demás hechos de Manasés, todo lo que hizo y los pecados que cometió están escritos en el libro de las crónicas de los reyes de Judá.

17 Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and all that he did, and his sin that he sinned, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

18 Manasés murió y fue sepultado en el jardín de su palacio, el jardín de Uza. Su hijo Amón ocupó su lugar como rey.

18 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 place.

19 Amón tenía veintidós años cuando comenzó a reinar, y reinó dos años en Jerusalén. Su madre se llamaba Mesulémet y era hija de Haruz de Jotba.

19 Amon was twenty-two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned two years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Meshullemeth the daughter of Haruz of Jotbah.

20 Hizo lo malo ante los ojos del Señor, como su padre Manasés.

20 He did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, as Manasseh his father did.

21 Siguió el camino de su padre y adoró y sirvió a los mismos ídolos.

21 He walked in all the ways that his father walked in, and served the idols that his father served, and worshiped them;

22 Abandonó al Señor, Dios de sus antepasados, y no siguió su camino.

22 and he abandoned Yahweh, the God of his fathers, and didn’t walk in the way of Yahweh.

23 Sus servidores conspiraron contra él y lo mataron en su palacio.

23 The servants of Amon conspired against him, and put the king to death in his own house.

24 Pero el pueblo mató a todos los conspiradores y nombró rey a su hijo Josías.

24 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.

25 Los demás hechos de Amón están escritos en el libro de las crónicas de los reyes de Judá.

25 Now the rest of the acts of Amon which he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

26 Lo sepultaron en su tumba, en el jardín de Uza, y su hijo Josías ocupó su lugar como rey.

26 He was buried in his tomb in the garden of Uzza, and Josiah his son reigned in his place.
