列王紀下 21
1 瑪拿西登基的時候年十二歲，在耶路撒冷作王五十五年。他母親名叫協西巴。
Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign; he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Hephzibah.
2 瑪拿西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所行可憎的事。
He did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh, like the disgusting things of the nations whom Yahweh had driven out before the people of Israel.
3 重新建築他父希西家所毀壞的邱壇，又為巴力築壇，做亞舍拉像，效法以色列王亞哈所行的，且敬拜事奉天上的萬象；
For he rebuilt the high places that Hezekiah his father had destroyed, and he built altars for Baal, made an Asherah pole, as Ahab king of Israel had done, and he bowed down to all the stars of heaven and worshiped them.
4 在耶和華殿宇中築壇。耶和華曾指着這殿說：「我必立我的名在耶路撒冷。」
Manasseh built altars in the house of Yahweh, although Yahweh had commanded, “It is in Jerusalem that my name will be forever.”
5 他在耶和華殿的兩院中為天上的萬象築壇，
He built altars for all the stars of heaven in the two courtyards of the house of Yahweh.
6 並使他的兒子經火，又觀兆，用法術，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 caused his son to pass through the fire, he performed sorcery and divination and consulted with those who talked with the dead and with those who talked with spirits. He did much evil in the sight of Yahweh, provoking him to anger.
7 又在殿內立雕刻的亞舍拉像。耶和華曾對大衛和他兒子所羅門說：「我在以色列眾支派中所選擇的耶路撒冷和這殿，必立我的名，直到永遠。
The carved figure of Asherah that he had made, he placed it in the house of Yahweh. It was about this house that Yahweh had spoken to David and Solomon his son; he had said: “It is in this house and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen from all the tribes of Israel, that I will put my name forever.
8 以色列人若謹守遵行我一切所吩咐他們的和我僕人摩西所吩咐他們的一切律法，我就不再使他們挪移離開我所賜給他們列祖之地。」
I will not cause the feet of Israel to wander any more out of the land that I gave to their ancestors, if they will only be careful to obey all that I have commanded them, and to follow all the law that my servant Moses commanded them.”
9 他們卻不聽從。瑪拿西引誘他們行惡，比耶和華在以色列人面前所滅的列國更甚。
But the people did not listen, and Manasseh led them to do evil even more than the nations that Yahweh had destroyed before the people of Israel.
10 耶和華藉他僕人眾先知說：
So Yahweh spoke by his servants the prophets, saying,
11 「因猶大王瑪拿西行這些可憎的惡事比先前亞摩利人所行的更甚，使猶大人拜他的偶像，陷在罪裏；
“Because Manasseh king of Judah has done these disgusting things, and has acted wickedly more than all that the Amorites who were before him did, and has also made Judah sin with his idols,
12 所以耶和華－以色列的上帝如此說：我必降禍與耶路撒冷和猶大，叫一切聽見的人無不耳鳴。
therefore Yahweh, the God of Israel, says this: Look, I am about to bring such evil on Jerusalem and Judah that whoever hears of it, both his ears will tingle.
13 我必用量撒馬利亞的準繩和亞哈家的線鉈拉在耶路撒冷上，必擦淨耶路撒冷，如人擦盤，將盤倒扣。
I will stretch over Jerusalem the measuring line used against Samaria, and the plumb line used against the house of Ahab; I will wipe Jerusalem clean, as a man wipes a dish, wiping it and turning it upside down.
14 我必棄掉所餘剩的子民，把他們交在仇敵手中，使他們成為一切仇敵擄掠之物；
I will throw off the remnant of my inheritance and give them into the hand of their enemies. They will become victims and plunder for all their enemies,
15 是因他們自從列祖出埃及直到如今，常行我眼中看為惡的事，惹動我的怒氣。」
because they have done what is evil in my sight, and have provoked me to anger, since the day their ancestors came out of Egypt, to this day.”
16 瑪拿西行耶和華眼中看為惡的事，使猶大人陷在罪裏，又流許多無辜人的血，充滿了耶路撒冷，從這邊直到那邊。
Moreover, Manasseh shed much innocent blood, until he had filled Jerusalem from one end to another with death. This was in addition to the sin by which he made Judah to sin, when they did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh.
17 瑪拿西其餘的事，凡他所行的和他所犯的罪都寫在猶大列王記上。
As for the other matters concerning Manasseh, all that he did, and the sin that he committed, are they not written in the book of the events of the kings of Judah?
18 瑪拿西與他列祖同睡，葬在自己宮院烏撒的園內；他兒子亞們接續他作王。
Manasseh slept with his ancestors and was buried in the garden of his own house, in the garden of Uzza. Amon his son became king in his place.
19 亞們登基的時候年二十二歲，在耶路撒冷作王二年。他母親名叫米舒利密，是約提巴人哈魯斯的女兒。
Amon was twenty-two years old when he began to reign; he reigned two years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Meshullemeth; she was the daughter of Haruz of Jotbah.
20 亞們行耶和華眼中看為惡的事，與他父親瑪拿西所行的一樣；
He did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh, as Manasseh his father had done.
21 行他父親一切所行的，敬奉他父親所敬奉的偶像，
Amon followed in all the way that his father had walked in and worshiped the idols that his father worshiped, and bowed down to them.
22 離棄耶和華－他列祖的上帝，不遵行耶和華的道。
He abandoned Yahweh, the God of his fathers, and did not walk in the way of Yahweh.
23 亞們王的臣僕背叛他，在宮裏殺了他。
The servants of Amon conspired against him and put the king to death in his own house.
24 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。
But the people of the land killed all those who had conspired against King Amon, and they made Josiah his son king in his place.
25 亞們其餘所行的事都寫在猶大列王記上。
As for the other matters concerning Amon that he did, are they not written in the book of the events of the kings of Judah?
26 亞們葬在烏撒的園內自己的墳墓裏。他兒子約西亞接續他作王。
The people buried him in his tomb in the garden of Uzza, and Josiah his son became king in his place.
