1 Manasés tenía doce años cuando empezó a reinar, y reinó cincuenta y cinco años en Jerusalén.
1 Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem.
2 Pero su reinado fue malo, porque fomentó la adoración a los ídolos paganos entre el pueblo, los ídolos de las naciones que el Señor destruyó cuando su pueblo entró en la tierra.
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 Reedificó los altares paganos que su padre Ezequías había derribado, los altares de Baal, e hizo imágenes de la diosa Aserá y del sol, la luna y las estrellas.
3 For he built again the high places which Hezekiah his father had broken down; and he raised up altars for the Baals, made Asheroth, and worshiped all the army of the sky, and served them.
4 Aun construyó altares paganos en los atrios del templo, para adorar al sol, la luna y las estrellas en el lugar mismo donde el Señor había dicho que su nombre sería honrado para siempre.
4 He built altars in Yahweh’s house, of which Yahweh said, “My name shall be in Jerusalem forever.”
5 Not in this translation
5 He built altars for all the army of the sky in the two courts of Yahweh’s house.
6 Además, quemó a sus hijos en el valle de Bet Hinón, como sacrificio para sus dioses. Además, consultó a espiritistas, a adivinos y a encantadores, y fomentó toda suerte de mal, con lo que provocó la ira del Señor.
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.
7 Colocó el ídolo que había hecho en el mismo templo de Dios, lugar del cual Dios le había dicho a David y a su hijo Salomón: «Seré honrado en este templo y en Jerusalén, la ciudad que he escogido de entre las demás ciudades de Israel.
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, I will put my name forever.
8 Y si obedecen los mandamientos que di por medio de Moisés, jamás dejaré que Israel sea expulsado de la tierra que les di a sus antepasados».
8 I will not 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, the statutes, and the ordinances given by Moses.”
9 Pero Manasés indujo a la gente de Judá y de Jerusalén a cometer males mayores que los pueblos que el Señor había destruido, cuando Israel entró en la tierra:
9 Manasseh seduced Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that they did more evil than did the nations whom Yahweh destroyed before the children of Israel.
10 El Señor habló a Manasés y a su pueblo, pero ellos no le hicieron caso.
10 Yahweh spoke to Manasseh and to his people, but they didn’t listen.
11 Entonces Dios envió a los ejércitos asirios, los que capturaron a Manasés y se lo llevaron atado con grillos y cadenas de bronce a Babilonia.
11 Therefore Yahweh brought on them the captains of the army of the king of Assyria, who took Manasseh in chains, bound him with fetters, and carried him to Babylon.
12 Allí, finalmente, él se dio cuenta de lo que había hecho, y se humilló por completo ante Dios, y le imploró ayuda.
12 When he was in distress, he begged Yahweh his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers.
13 Y el Señor lo oyó, y respondió a su petición haciéndole regresar a Jerusalén y a su reinado. Por fin Manasés había comprendido que el Señor realmente es Dios.
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 de esto, Manasés reedificó la muralla exterior de la ciudad de David, muralla que va desde el occidente del valle de Guijón, en el arroyo de Cedrón, hasta la puerta del Pescado, y rodeaba la colina de Ofel. También estableció comandancias militares 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.
15 Quitó los dioses ajenos de las colinas, sacó el ídolo del templo y derribó los altares que haba edificado en la montaña donde estaba el templo, y los altares que había en Jerusalén, y los arrojó fuera de la ciudad.
15 He took away the foreign gods and the idol out of Yahweh’s house, and all the altars that he had built in the mountain of Yahweh’s house and in Jerusalem, and cast them out of the city.
16 Luego reedificó el altar del Señor y ofreció sacrificios en él, ofrendas de paz y ofrendas de acción de gracias, y pidió que el pueblo de Judá adorara al Señor, Dios de Israel.
16 He built up Yahweh’s altar, and offered sacrifices of peace offerings and of thanksgiving on it, and commanded Judah to serve Yahweh, the God of Israel.
17 Sin embargo, el pueblo aún sacrificaba sobre los altares de las colinas, sólo que los sacrificios los ofrecía 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 la respuesta de Dios por medio de los profetas aparecen en el libro 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 forma en que Dios le respondió, y un relato franco de sus pecados y errores, incluyendo una lista de las localidades donde edificó altares en las colinas y puso imágenes de la diosa Aserá e imágenes esculpidas (desde luego, antes de su gran arrepentimiento), están escritos en el libro de los profetas.
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 Cuando Manasés murió, fue sepultado en su palacio, y su hijo Amón subió al trono.
20 So Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they buried him in his own house; and Amon his son reigned in his place.
21 Amón tenía veintidós años cuando comenzó a reinar en Jerusalén y reinó durante sólo dos años.
21 Amon was twenty-two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned two years in Jerusalem.
22 Su reinado fue tan malo como lo fueron los primeros años de su padre Manasés, porque Amón ofreció sacrificio a los ídolos, como lo había hecho su padre.
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 Pero no se arrepintió, como sí lo hizo su padre, sino que cada vez su maldad era peor.
23 He didn’t humble himself before Yahweh, as Manasseh his father had humbled himself; but this same Amon trespassed more and more.
24 Finalmente, sus propios ayudantes lo asesinaron en el palacio.
24 His servants conspired against him, and put him to death in his own house.
25 Pero algunos ciudadanos, amantes de la justicia, mataron a todos los que lo habían asesinado, y proclamaron rey a su hijo Josías.
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.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
Manasses also was utterly wicked, who sawed Isaiah asunder, and was defiled with all kinds of idolatries, and filled Jerusalem with innocent blood; but having been led captive to Babylon he used his experience of misfortune for a healing course of repentance: for the Scripture saith that Manasses humbled himself before the Lord, and prayed, and the Lord heard …
