歷代志下 33
1 瑪拿西登基的時候年十二歲，在耶路撒冷作王五十五年。
Manasses was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem.
2 他行耶和華眼中看為惡的事，效法耶和華在以色列人面前趕出的外邦人那可憎的事，
And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, according to all the abominations of the heathen, whom the Lord destroyed from before the face of the children of Israel.
3 重新建築他父希西家所拆毀的邱壇，又為巴力築壇，做木偶，且敬拜事奉天上的萬象，
And he returned and built the high places, which his father Ezekias had pulled down, and set up images to Baalim, and made groves, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served them.
4 在耶和華的殿宇中築壇－耶和華曾指着這殿說：「我的名必永遠在耶路撒冷。」
And he built altars in the house of the Lord, concerning which the Lord said, In Jerusalem shall be my name for ever.
5 他在耶和華殿的兩院中為天上的萬象築壇，
And he built altars to all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the Lord.
6 並在欣嫩子谷使他的兒女經火，又觀兆，用法術，行邪術，立交鬼的和行巫術的，多行耶和華眼中看為惡的事，惹動他的怒氣，
He also passed his children through the fire in the valley of Benennom; and he divined, and used auspices, and sorceries, and appointed those who had divining spirits, and enchanters, and wrought abundant wickedness before the Lord, to provoke him.
7 又在上帝殿內立雕刻的偶像。上帝曾對大衛和他兒子所羅門說：「我在以色列各支派中所選擇的耶路撒冷和這殿，必立我的名直到永遠。
And he set the graven [image], the molten [statue], the idol which he made, in the house of God, of which God had said to David and to Solomon his son, In this house, and Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, I will put my name for ever;
8 以色列人若謹守遵行我藉摩西所吩咐他們的一切法度、律例、典章，我就不再使他們挪移離開我所賜給他們列祖之地。」
and I will not again remove the foot of Israel from the land which I gave to their fathers, if only they will take heed to do all things which I have commanded them, according to all the law and the ordinances and the judgements [given] by the hand of Moses.
9 瑪拿西引誘猶大和耶路撒冷的居民，以致他們行惡比耶和華在以色列人面前所滅的列國更甚。
So Manasses led astray Juda and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, to do evil beyond all the nations which the Lord cast out from before the children of Israel.
10 耶和華警戒瑪拿西和他的百姓，他們卻是不聽。
And the Lord spoke to Manasses, and to his people: but they listened not.
11 所以耶和華使亞述王的將帥來攻擊他們，用鐃鉤鉤住瑪拿西，用銅鍊鎖住他，帶到巴比倫去。
And the Lord brought upon them the captains of the host of the king of Assyria, and they took Manasses in bonds, and bound him in fetters, and brought him to Babylon.
12 他在急難的時候，就懇求耶和華－他的上帝，且在他列祖的上帝面前極其自卑。
And when he was afflicted, he sought the face of the Lord his God, and was greatly humbled before the face of the God of his fathers;
13 他祈禱耶和華，耶和華就允准他的祈求，垂聽他的禱告，使他歸回耶路撒冷，仍坐國位。瑪拿西這才知道惟獨耶和華是上帝。
and he prayed to him: and he listened to him, and listened to his cry, and brought him back to Jerusalem to his kingdom: and Manasses knew that the Lord he is God.
14 此後，瑪拿西在大衛城外，從谷內基訓西邊直到魚門口，建築城牆，環繞俄斐勒，這牆築得甚高；又在猶大各堅固城內設立勇敢的軍長；
And afterward he built a wall without the city of David, from the southwest southward in the valleys and at the entrance through the fish-gate, as men go out by the gate round about, even as far as Opel: and he raised it much, and set captains of the host in all the fortified cities in Juda.
15 並除掉外邦人的神像與耶和華殿中的偶像，又將他在耶和華殿的山上和耶路撒冷所築的各壇都拆毀拋在城外；
And he removed the strange gods, and the graven [image] out of the house of the Lord, and all the altars which he had built in the mount of the house of the Lord, and in Jerusalem, and without the city.
16 重修耶和華的祭壇，在壇上獻平安祭、感謝祭，吩咐猶大人事奉耶和華－以色列的上帝。
And he repaired the altar of the Lord, and offered upon it a sacrifice of peace-offering and thank-offering, and he told Juda to serve the Lord God of Israel.
17 百姓卻仍在邱壇上獻祭，只獻給耶和華－他們的上帝。
Nevertheless the people still sacrificed on the high places, only to the Lord their God.
18 瑪拿西其餘的事和禱告他上帝的話，並先見奉耶和華－以色列上帝的名警戒他的言語，都寫在以色列諸王記上。
And the rest of the acts of Manasses, and his prayer to God, and the words of the seers that spoke to him in the name of the God of Israel,
19 他的禱告，與上帝怎樣應允他，他未自卑以前的罪愆過犯，並在何處建築邱壇，設立亞舍拉和雕刻的偶像，都寫在何賽的書上。
behold, [they are] in the account of his prayer; and [God] listened to him. And all his sins, and his backslidings, and the spots on which he built the high places, and set there groves and graven images, before he repented, behold, they are written in the books of the seers.
20 瑪拿西與他列祖同睡，葬在自己的宮院裏。他兒子亞們接續他作王。
And Manasses slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the garden of his house: and Amon his son reigned in his stead.
21 亞們登基的時候年二十二歲，在耶路撒冷作王二年。
Amon was twenty and two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem.
22 他行耶和華眼中看為惡的事，效法他父瑪拿西所行的，祭祀事奉他父瑪拿西所雕刻的偶像，
And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, as his father Manasses did: and Amon sacrificed to all the idols which his father Manasses had made, and served them.
23 不在耶和華面前像他父瑪拿西自卑。這亞們所犯的罪越犯越大。
And he was not humbled before the Lord as his father Manasses was humbled; for his son Amon abounded in transgression.
24 他的臣僕背叛，在宮裏殺了他。
And his servants conspired against him, and killed him in his house.
25 但國民殺了那些背叛亞們王的人，立他兒子約西亞接續他作王。
And the people of the land killed the men who had conspired against king Amon; and the people of the land made Josias his son king in his stead.
