< 歷代志下 33 >
1 [默納舍崇拜偶像]默納舍登極時年十二歲,在耶路撒冷作王凡五十五年。
Manasses was of twelue yeer, whanne he bygan to regne, and he regnyde in Jerusalem fyue and fifti yeer.
2 他行了上主視為惡的事,仿傚上主從以色列子民前驅逐的異民所行的可恥之事。
Forsothe he dide yuel bifor the Lord bi abhomynaciouns of hethene men, whiche the Lord destriede bifor the sones of Israel.
3 他重建了他父親希則克雅所拆毀的高丘,又為巴耳建立了祭壇,製造阿舍辣,叩拜奉事天上的萬象。
And he turnede, and restoride the hiye places, whiche Ezechie, his fadir, hadde destried. And he bildide auteris to Baalym, and made wodis, and worschipide al the knyythod of heuene, and heriede it.
4 雖然上主曾指著聖殿說過:「我要將我的名永遠立在耶路撒冷,」他仍在上主殿內建立了一些祭壇;
And he bildide auteris in the hows of the Lord, of which the Lord hadde seid, My name schal be in Jerusalem with outen ende.
5 且在上主殿的兩庭院內,為天上萬象建立了一些祭壇;
Sotheli he bildide tho auteris to al the knyythod of heuene in the twei large places of the hows of the Lord.
6 使自己的兒子在本希農山谷中經火,行占卜,邪術,立招魂師和術士;不斷行上主視為惡的事,惹上主發怒。
And he made hise sones to passe thorouy the fier in the valei of Beennon; he kepte dremes; he suede fals diuynyng bi chiteryng of briddis; he seruyde witche craftis; he hadde with hym astronomyeris and enchaunteris, `ethir trigetours, that disseyuen mennus wittis, and he wrouyte many yuelis bifor the Lord to terre hym to wraththe.
7 他又在天主殿內立了他所彫製的偶像;雖然論及這殿天主曾對達味和他的兒子撒羅滿說過:「我要在這殿內,和在我由以色列各支派所選出的耶路撒冷城,立我的名,直到永遠。
Also he settide a grauun signe and a yotun signe in the hows of the Lord, of which hows God spak to Dauid, and to Salomon, his sone, and seide, Y schal sette my name with outen ende in this hows and in Jerusalem, which Y chees of alle the lynagis of Israel;
8 只要以色列人遵行我藉梅瑟所吩咐他們的一切法律、典章和律例,我不再使他們的腳,離開我賜予你們祖先的土地。」
and Y schal not make the foot of Israel to moue fro the lond which Y yaf to her fadris, so oneli if thei kepen to do tho thingis whiche Y comaundide to hem, and al the lawe, and cerymonyes, and domes, bi the hond of Moises.
9 但默納舍誘惑猶大和耶路撒冷的居民行惡,甚至上主由以色列子民前所消滅的那些民族。[默納舍受罰改過]
Therfor Manasses disseyuede Juda, and the dwelleris of Jerusalem, that thei diden yuel, more than alle hethene men, whiche the Lord hadde distriede fro the face of the sones of Israel.
10 為此,上主曾警告莫舍納和他的百姓,但是他們不肯聽從。
And the Lord spak to hym, and to his puple; and thei nolden take heed.
11 因此,上主使亞述王的將官前來攻打他們,用鉤子勾住默納舍,用鎖鏈鎖住,解送到巴比倫。
Therfor the Lord brouyte on hem the princes of the oost of the kyng of Assiriens; and thei token Manasses, and bounden hym with chaynes, and stockis, and ledden hym in to Babiloyne.
12 默納舍在這患難中,呼求了上主他的天主,在他祖先的天主前,大發謙卑,
And aftir that he was angwischid, he preiede `his Lord God, and dide penaunce gretli bifor the God of hise fadris.
13 哀懇上主,上主便俯允了他的祈求,垂聽了他的哀禱,使他歸回耶路撒冷,恢復了他的王位;默納舍這才知道只有上主是天主。[掃除偶像]
And he preiede God, and bisechide ententifli; and God herde his preier, and brouyte hym ayen `in to Jerusalem in to his rewme; and Manasses knew, that the Lord hym silf is God.
14 此後,默納舍在達味城外另築了一道城牆,西邊由谷內的基紅起,直到魚門,將敖斐耳圍起,且將城牆加建的很高;在猶大各堅城內派有將帥駐守。
Aftir these thingis he bildide the wal with out the citee of Dauid, at the west of Gion, in the valei, fro the entryng of the yate of fischis, bi cumpas `til to Ophel; and he reiside it gretli; and he ordeynede princes of the oost in alle the stronge citees of Juda.
15 又從上主殿內除去了外神和偶像,將他在上主殿的山上和耶路撒冷所建立的祭壇,都一律拆毀,拋在城外,
And he dide awei alien goddis and symylacris fro the hows of the Lord; and he dide awei the auteris, whiche he hadde maad in the hil of the hows of the Lord, and in Jerusalem, and he castide awei alle with out the citee.
16 重修了上主的祭壇,在上面獻和平祭和感恩祭,命令猶大人只奉事上主以色列的天主。
Certis he restoride the auter of the Lord, and offride theronne slayn sacrifices, and pesible sacrifices, and preisyng; and he comaundide Juda to serue the Lord God of Israel.
17 但是民眾仍然在高丘獻祭,不過只巷上主天主獻祭。[默納舍逝世]
Netheles the puple offride yit in hiy places to `her Lord God.
18 默納舍其餘的事蹟,以及他巷天主所發的禱詞,並諸先見者奉上主,以色列天主的名對他所說的話,都記載在以色列列王實錄上。
Forsothe the residue of dedis of Manasses, and his bisechyng to `his Lord God, and the wordis of profetis, that spaken to hym in the name of the Lord God of Israel, ben conteyned in the wordis of the kyngis of Israel.
19 他如何祈禱和上主如何應允,他未自卑以前的一切罪惡和不忠,以及他在何處建立高丘,立阿舍辣和彫刻的偶像等事,都記載在諸先見者的言行錄上。
And his preier, and the heryng, and alle synnes, and dispisyng, also the places in whiche he bildide hiy thingis, and made wodis and ymagis, bifor that he dide penaunce, ben writun in the bokis of Ozai.
20 默納舍與他的祖先同眠,葬在他王宮的花園裏;他的兒子阿孟繼位為王。[阿孟登極]
Forsothe Manasses slepte with hise fadris, and thei birieden hym in his hows; and Amon, his sone, regnyde for hym.
Amon was of two and twenti yeer, whanne he bigan to regne; and he regnyde twei yeer in Jerusalem.
22 他行了上主視為惡的事,全如同他父親默納舍;向他父親默納舍所彫刻的一切偶像獻祭膜拜,
And he dide yuel in the siyt of the Lord, as Manasses, his fadir, hadde do; and he offride, and seruyde to alle the idols, whiche Manasses hadde maad.
23 從沒有像他父親默納舍在上主面前自謙自卑過;阿孟只知罪上加罪。
And he reuerenside not the face of the Lord, as Manasses, `his fadir, reuerenside; and he dide mych gretter trespassis.
And whanne his seruauntis `hadden swore to gyder ayens hym, thei killiden hym in his hows.
25 當地的人民卻將所有反叛阿孟王的人都殺了,立他的兒子約史雅繼位為王。
Sotheli the residue multitude of the puple, aftir that thei hadden slayn hem that `hadden slayn Amon, ordeyneden Josie, his sone, kyng for hym.
