¹ A Gospod reče Mojsiju: Sad ćeš videti šta ću učiniti Faraonu; jer pod rukom krepkom pustiće ih, i isteraće ih iz zemlje svoje pod rukom krepkom.

² Još govori Bog Mojsiju i reče mu: Ja sam Gospod.

³ I javio sam se Avramu, Isaku i Jakovu imenom Bog Svemogući, a imenom svojim, Gospod, ne bih im poznat.

⁴ I učinih zavet svoj s njima da ću im dati zemlju hanansku, zemlju u kojoj behu došljaci, u kojoj življahu kao stranci.

⁵ I čuh uzdisanje sinova Izrailjevih, koje Misirci drže u ropstvu, i opomenuh se zaveta svog.

⁶ Zato kaži sinovima Izrailjevim: Ja sam Gospod, i izvešću vas ispod bremena misirskih, i oprostiću vas ropstva njihovog, i izbaviću vas mišicom podignutom i sudovima velikim.

⁷ I uzeću vas da mi budete narod, i ja ću vam biti Bog, te ćete poznati da sam ja Gospod Bog vaš, koji vas izvodim ispod bremena misirskih.

⁸ Pak ću vas odvesti u svoju zemlju, za koju podigoh ruku svoju zaklinjući se da ću je dati Avramu, Isaku i Jakovu; i daću vam je u nasledstvo, ja Gospod.

⁹ I Mojsije kaza tako sinovima Izrailjevim; ali ne poslušaše Mojsija od slabosti duha svog i od ljutog ropstva.

¹⁰ I Gospod reče Mojsiju govoreći:

¹¹ Idi, kaži Faraonu, caru misirskom, neka pusti sinove Izrailjeve iz zemlje svoje.

¹² A Mojsije progovori pred Gospodom i reče: Eto, sinovi Izrailjevi ne poslušaše me, a kako će me poslušati Faraon, kad sam neobrezanih usana?

¹³ Ali Gospod govori Mojsiju i Aronu, i zapovedi im da idu k sinovima Izrailjevim i k Faraonu, da izvedu sinove Izrailjeve iz zemlje misirske.

¹⁴ Ovo su poglavice u domovima otaca svojih: sinovi Ruvima, prvenca Izrailjevog: Enoh i Faluj, Asron i Harmija; to su porodice Ruvimove.

¹⁵ A sinovi Simeunovi: Jemuilo i Jamin i Aod i Ahin i Sar i Saul, sin neke Hananejke; to su porodice Simeunove.

¹⁶ A ovo su imena sinova Levijevih po porodicama njihovim: Girson i Kat i Merarije; a Levije požive sto i trideset i sedam godina.

¹⁷ A ovo su sinovi Girsonovi: Lovenije i Semej po porodicama svojim.

¹⁸ A sinovi Katovi: Amram i Isar i Hevron i Ozilo; a Kat požive sto i trideset i tri godine.

¹⁹ A sinovi Merarijevi: Molija i Musija. To su porodice Levijeve po lozama svojim.

²⁰ A Amram se oženi Johavedom bratučedom svojom, i ona mu rodi Arona i Mojsija. A požive Amram sto i trideset i sedam godina.

²¹ A sinovi Isarovi behu: Korej i Nafek i Zehrija.

²² A sinovi Ozilovi: Misailo i Elisafan i Segrija.

²³ A Aron se oženi Jelisavetom kćerju Aminadavovom, sestrom Nasonovom; i ona mu rodi Nadava i Avijuda i Eleazara i Itamara.

²⁴ A sinovi Korejevi behu: Asir i Elkana i Avijasar. To su porodice Korejeve.

²⁵ I Eleazar, sin Aronov, oženi se jednom od kćeri Futilovih, i ona mu rodi Finesa. To su poglavice između otaca levitskih po svojim porodicama.

²⁶ To je Aron i Mojsije, kojima reče Gospod: Izvedite sinove Izrailjeve iz zemlje misirske u četama njihovim.

²⁷ To su koji govoriše Faraonu, caru misirskom, da izvedu sinove Izrailjeve iz Misira; to je Mojsije i to je Aron.

²⁸ I kad Gospod govoraše Mojsiju u zemlji misirskoj,

²⁹ Reče Gospod Mojsiju govoreći: Ja sam Gospod; kaži Faraonu caru misirskom sve što sam ti kazao.

³⁰ I Mojsije reče pred Gospodom: Evo sam neobrezanih usana, pa kako će me poslušati Faraon?

¹ Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign; and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Hephzibah.

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 destroyed; and he reared up altars for Baal, and made an Asherah, as did Ahab king of Israel, and worshiped all the army of the sky, and served them.

⁴ He built altars in the house of Yahweh, of which Yahweh said, "I will put my name in Jerusalem."

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

⁶ He made his son to pass through the fire, and practiced sorcery, and used enchantments, 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 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, will I put my name forever;

⁸ neither will I 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 But they didn't listen: and Manasseh seduced them to do that which is evil more than did the nations whom Yahweh destroyed before the children of Israel.

¹⁰ Yahweh spoke by his servants the prophets, saying,

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 made Judah also to sin with his idols;

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

²¹ He walked in all the way that his father walked in, and served the idols that his father served, and worshiped them:

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

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

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