列王纪下 21
1 玛拿西登基的时候年十二岁，在耶路撒冷作王五十五年。他母亲名叫协西巴。
Manasseh was twelve years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem fifty-five years. His mother’s name was Hephzibah.
2 玛拿西行耶和华眼中看为恶的事，效法耶和华在以色列人面前赶出的外邦人所行可憎的事。
And he did evil in the sight of the LORD by following the abominations of the nations that the LORD had driven out before the Israelites.
3 重新建筑他父希西家所毁坏的邱坛，又为巴力筑坛，做亚舍拉像，效法以色列王亚哈所行的，且敬拜事奉天上的万象；
For he rebuilt the high places that his father Hezekiah had destroyed, and he raised up altars for Baal. He made an Asherah pole, as King Ahab of Israel had done, and he worshiped and served all the host of heaven.
4 在耶和华殿宇中筑坛。耶和华曾指着这殿说：“我必立我的名在耶路撒冷。”
Manasseh also built altars in the house of the LORD, of which the LORD had said, “In Jerusalem I will put My Name.”
5 他在耶和华殿的两院中为天上的万象筑坛，
In both courtyards of the house of the LORD, he built altars to all the host of heaven.
6 并使他的儿子经火，又观兆，用法术，立交鬼的和行巫术的，多行耶和华眼中看为恶的事，惹动他的怒气；
He sacrificed his own son in the fire, practiced sorcery and divination, and consulted mediums and spiritists. He did great evil in the sight of the LORD, provoking Him to anger.
7 又在殿内立雕刻的亚舍拉像。耶和华曾对大卫和他儿子所罗门说：“我在以色列众支派中所选择的耶路撒冷和这殿，必立我的名，直到永远。
Manasseh even took the carved Asherah pole he had made and set it up in the temple, of which the LORD had said to David and his son Solomon, “In this temple and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, I will establish My Name forever.
8 以色列人若谨守遵行我一切所吩咐他们的和我仆人摩西所吩咐他们的一切律法，我就不再使他们挪移离开我所赐给他们列祖之地。”
I will never again cause the feet of the Israelites to wander from the land that I gave to their fathers, if only they are careful to do all I have commanded them—the whole Law that My servant Moses commanded them.”
9 他们却不听从。玛拿西引诱他们行恶，比耶和华在以色列人面前所灭的列国更甚。
But the people did not listen and Manasseh led them astray, so that they did greater evil than the nations that the LORD had destroyed before the Israelites.
10 耶和华借他仆人众先知说：
And the LORD spoke through His servants the prophets, saying,
11 “因犹大王玛拿西行这些可憎的恶事比先前亚摩利人所行的更甚，使犹大人拜他的偶像，陷在罪里；
“Since Manasseh king of Judah has committed all these abominations, acting more wickedly than the Amorites who preceded him, and with his idols has caused Judah to sin,
12 所以耶和华—以色列的 神如此说：我必降祸与耶路撒冷和犹大，叫一切听见的人无不耳鸣。
this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘Behold, I am bringing such calamity upon Jerusalem and Judah that the news will reverberate in the ears of all who hear it.
13 我必用量撒马利亚的准绳和亚哈家的线铊拉在耶路撒冷上，必擦净耶路撒冷，如人擦盘，将盘倒扣。
I will stretch out over Jerusalem the measuring line used against Samaria and the plumb line used against the house of Ahab, and I will wipe out Jerusalem as one wipes out a bowl—wiping it and turning it upside down.
14 我必弃掉所余剩的子民，把他们交在仇敌手中，使他们成为一切仇敌掳掠之物；
So I will forsake the remnant of My inheritance and deliver them into the hands of their enemies. And they will become plunder and spoil to all their enemies,
15 是因他们自从列祖出埃及直到如今，常行我眼中看为恶的事，惹动我的怒气。”
because they have done evil in My sight and have provoked Me to anger from the day their fathers came out of Egypt until this day.’”
16 玛拿西行耶和华眼中看为恶的事，使犹大人陷在罪里，又流许多无辜人的血，充满了耶路撒冷，从这边直到那边。
Moreover, Manasseh shed so much innocent blood that he filled Jerusalem from end to end, in addition to the sin that he had caused Judah to commit, doing evil in the sight of the LORD.
17 玛拿西其余的事，凡他所行的和他所犯的罪都写在犹大列王记上。
As for the rest of the acts of Manasseh, along with all his accomplishments and the sin that he committed, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
18 玛拿西与他列祖同睡，葬在自己宫院乌撒的园内；他儿子亚们接续他作王。
And Manasseh rested with his fathers and was buried in his palace garden, the garden of Uzza. And his son Amon reigned in his place.
19 亚们登基的时候年二十二岁，在耶路撒冷作王二年。他母亲名叫米舒利密，是约提巴人哈鲁斯的女儿。
Amon was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem two years. His mother’s name was Meshullemeth daughter of Haruz; she was from Jotbah.
20 亚们行耶和华眼中看为恶的事，与他父亲玛拿西所行的一样；
And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, as his father Manasseh had done.
21 行他父亲一切所行的，敬奉他父亲所敬奉的偶像，
He walked in all the ways of his father, and he served and worshiped the idols his father had served.
22 离弃耶和华—他列祖的 神，不遵行耶和华的道。
He abandoned the LORD, the God of his fathers, and did not walk in the way of the LORD.
23 亚们王的臣仆背叛他，在宫里杀了他。
Then the servants of Amon conspired against him and killed the king in his palace.
24 但国民杀了那些背叛亚们王的人，立他儿子约西亚接续他作王。
But the people of the land killed all those who had conspired against King Amon, and they made his son Josiah king in his place.
25 亚们其余所行的事都写在犹大列王记上。
As for the rest of the acts of Amon, along with his accomplishments, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
26 亚们葬在乌撒的园内自己的坟墓里。他儿子约西亚接续他作王。
And he was buried in his tomb in the garden of Uzza, and his son Josiah reigned in his place.
