¹ και προσελθουσαι αι θυγατερες σαλπααδ υιου οφερ υιου γαλααδ υιου μαχιρ του δημου μανασση των υιων ιωσηφ και ταυτα τα ονοματα αυτων μαλα και νουα και εγλα και μελχα και θερσα

² και στασαι εναντι μωυση και εναντι ελεαζαρ του ιερεως και εναντι των αρχοντων και εναντι πασης συναγωγης επι της θυρας της σκηνης του μαρτυριου λεγουσιν

³ ο πατηρ ημων απεθανεν εν τη ερημω και αυτος ουκ ην εν μεσω της συναγωγης της επισυστασης εναντι κυριου εν τη συναγωγη κορε οτι δια αμαρτιαν αυτου απεθανεν και υιοι ουκ εγενοντο αυτω

⁴ μη εξαλειφθητω το ονομα του πατρος ημων εκ μεσου του δημου αυτου οτι ουκ εστιν αυτω υιος δοτε ημιν κατασχεσιν εν μεσω αδελφων πατρος ημων

⁵ και προσηγαγεν μωυσης την κρισιν αυτων εναντι κυριου

⁶ και ελαλησεν κυριος προς μωυσην λεγων

⁷ ορθως θυγατερες σαλπααδ λελαληκασιν δομα δωσεις αυταις κατασχεσιν κληρονομιας εν μεσω αδελφων πατρος αυτων και περιθησεις τον κληρον του πατρος αυτων αυταις

⁸ και τοις υιοις ισραηλ λαλησεις λεγων ανθρωπος εαν αποθανη και υιος μη η αυτω περιθησετε την κληρονομιαν αυτου τη θυγατρι αυτου

⁹ εαν δε μη η θυγατηρ αυτω δωσετε την κληρονομιαν τω αδελφω αυτου

¹⁰ εαν δε μη ωσιν αυτω αδελφοι δωσετε την κληρονομιαν τω αδελφω του πατρος αυτου

¹¹ εαν δε μη ωσιν αδελφοι του πατρος αυτου δωσετε την κληρονομιαν τω οικειω τω εγγιστα αυτου εκ της φυλης αυτου κληρονομησει τα αυτου και εσται τουτο τοις υιοις ισραηλ δικαιωμα κρισεως καθα συνεταξεν κυριος τω μωυση

¹² και ειπεν κυριος προς μωυσην αναβηθι εις το ορος το εν τω περαν τουτο ορος ναβαυ και ιδε την γην χανααν ην εγω διδωμι τοις υιοις ισραηλ εν κατασχεσει

¹³ και οψει αυτην και προστεθηση προς τον λαον σου και συ καθα προσετεθη ααρων ο αδελφος σου εν ωρ τω ορει

¹⁴ διοτι παρεβητε το ρημα μου εν τη ερημω σιν εν τω αντιπιπτειν την συναγωγην αγιασαι με ουχ ηγιασατε με επι τω υδατι εναντι αυτων τουτο εστιν υδωρ αντιλογιας καδης εν τη ερημω σιν

¹⁵ και ειπεν μωυσης προς κυριον

¹⁶ επισκεψασθω κυριος ο θεος των πνευματων και πασης σαρκος ανθρωπον επι της συναγωγης ταυτης

¹⁷ οστις εξελευσεται προ προσωπου αυτων και οστις εισελευσεται προ προσωπου αυτων και οστις εξαξει αυτους και οστις εισαξει αυτους και ουκ εσται η συναγωγη κυριου ωσει προβατα οις ουκ εστιν ποιμην

¹⁸ και ελαλησεν κυριος προς μωυσην λεγων λαβε προς σεαυτον τον ιησουν υιον ναυη ανθρωπον ος εχει πνευμα εν εαυτω και επιθησεις τας χειρας σου επ' αυτον

¹⁹ και στησεις αυτον εναντι ελεαζαρ του ιερεως και εντελη αυτω εναντι πασης συναγωγης και εντελη περι αυτου εναντιον αυτων

²⁰ και δωσεις της δοξης σου επ' αυτον οπως αν εισακουσωσιν αυτου οι υιοι ισραηλ

²¹ και εναντι ελεαζαρ του ιερεως στησεται και επερωτησουσιν αυτον την κρισιν των δηλων εναντι κυριου επι τω στοματι αυτου εξελευσονται και επι τω στοματι αυτου εισελευσονται αυτος και οι υιοι ισραηλ ομοθυμαδον και πασα η συναγωγη

²² και εποιησεν μωυσης καθα ενετειλατο αυτω κυριος και λαβων τον ιησουν εστησεν αυτον εναντιον ελεαζαρ του ιερεως και εναντι πασης συναγωγης

²³ και επεθηκεν τας χειρας αυτου επ' αυτον και συνεστησεν αυτον καθαπερ συνεταξεν κυριος τω μωυση

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.
