2 Chronicles 33
1 Manasseh was twelve years old when he became king, and he was ruling for fifty-five years in Jerusalem.
マナセは十二歳の時位に即きヱルサレムにて五十五年の間世を治めたり
2 He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, copying the disgusting ways of the nations whom the Lord had sent out of the land before the children of Israel.
彼はヱホバの目に惡と觀たまふことを爲しイスラエルの子孫の前よりヱホバの逐はらひたまひし國人の行ふところの憎むべき事に傚へり
3 For he put up again the high places which had been pulled down by his father Hezekiah; and he made altars for the Baals, and pillars of wood, and was a worshipper and servant of all the stars of heaven;
即ちその父ヒゼキヤの毀ちたりし崇邱を改ため築き諸のバアルのために壇を設けアシラ像を作り天の衆群を拝みて之に事へ
4 And he made altars in the house of the Lord, of which the Lord had said, In Jerusalem will my name be for ever.
またヱホバが我名は永くヱルサレムに在べしと宣まひしヱホバの室の内に數箇の壇を築き
5 And he made altars for all the stars of heaven in the two outer squares of the house of the Lord.
天の衆群のためにヱホバの室の兩の庭に壇を築き
6 More than this, he made his children go through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom; and he made use of secret arts, and signs for reading the future, and unnatural powers, and gave positions to those who had control of spirits and to wonder-workers: he did much evil in the eyes of the Lord, moving him to wrath.
またベンヒンノムの谷にてその子女に火の中を通らせかつ占卜を行ひ魔術をつかひ禁厭を爲し憑鬼者と卜筮師を取用ひなどしてヱホバの目に惡と視たまふ事を多く行ひてその震怒を惹起せり
7 And he put the image he had made in the house of God, the house of which God had said to David and to Solomon his son, In this house, and in Jerusalem, the town which I have made mine out of all the tribes of Israel, will I put my name for ever:
彼またその作りし偶像を神の室に安置せり神此室につきてダビデとその子ソロモンに言たまひし事あり云く我この室と我がイスラエルの諸の支派の中より選びたるヱルサレムとに我名を永く置ん
8 And never again will I let the feet of Israel be moved out of the land which I have given to their fathers; if only they will take care to do all my orders, even all the law and the orders and the rules given to them by Moses.
彼らもし我が凡て命ぜし事すなはちモーセが傳へし一切の律法と法度と例典を謹みて行はば我が汝らの先祖のために定めし地より我これが足を重てうつさじと
9 And Manasseh made Judah and the people of Jerusalem go out of the true way, so that they did more evil than those nations whom the Lord gave up to destruction before the children of Israel.
マナセかくユダとヱルサレムの民とを迷はして惡を行はしめたり其状イスラエルの子孫の前にヱホバの滅ぼしたまひし異邦人よりも甚だし
10 And the word of the Lord came to Manasseh and his people, but they gave no attention.
ヱホバ、マナセおよびその民を諭したまひしかども聽ことをせざりき
11 So the Lord sent against them the captains of the army of Assyria, who made Manasseh a prisoner and took him away in chains to Babylon.
是をもてヱホバ、アッスリヤの王の軍勢の諸將をこれに攻來らせたまひて彼等つひにマナセを鉤にて擄へ之を杻械に繋ぎてバビロンに曳ゆけり
12 And crying out to the Lord his God in his trouble, he made himself low before the God of his fathers,
然るに彼患難に罹るにおよびてその神ヱホバを和めその先祖の神の前に大に身を卑くして
13 And made prayer to him; and in answer to his prayer God let him come back to Jerusalem and to his kingdom. Then Manasseh was certain that the Lord was God.
神に祈りければその祈祷を容れその懇願を聽きこれをヱルサレムに携へかへりて再び國に莅ましめたまへり是によりてマナセ、ヱホバは誠に神にいますと知り
14 After this he made an outer wall for the town of David, on the west side of Gihon in the valley, as far as the way into the town by the fish doorway; and he put a very high wall round the Ophel; and he put captains of the army in all the walled towns of Judah.
この後かれダビデの邑の外にてギホンの西の方なる谷の内に石垣を築き魚門の入口までに及ぼし又オベルに石垣を環らして甚だ高く之を築き上げユダの一切の堅固なる邑に軍長を置き
15 He took away the strange gods and the image out of the house of the Lord, and all the altars he had put up on the hill of the Lord's house and in Jerusalem, and put them out of the town.
またヱホバの室より異邦の神々および偶像を取除きヱホバの室の山とヱルサレムとに自ら築きし一切の壇を取のぞきて邑の外に投すて
16 And he put the altar of the Lord in order, offering peace-offerings and praise-offerings on it, and said that all Judah were to be servants of the Lord, the God of Israel.
ヱホバの壇を修復ひて酬恩祭および感謝祭をその上に献げユダに命じてイスラエルの神ヱホバに事へしめたり
17 However, the people still made offerings in the high places, but only to the Lord their God.
然れども民は猶崇邱にて犠牲を献ぐることなを爲り但しその神ヱホバに而已なりき
18 Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and his prayer to his God, and the words which the seers said to him in the name of the Lord, the God of Israel, are recorded among the acts of the kings of Israel.
マナセのその餘の行爲その神になせし祈祷およびイスラエルの神ヱホバの名をもて彼を諭せし先見者等の言はイスラエルの列王の言行録に見ゆ
19 And the prayer which he made to God, and how God gave him an answer, and all his sin and his wrongdoing, and the places where he made high places and put up pillars of wood and images, before he put away his pride, are recorded in the history of the seers.
またその祈祷を爲たる事その聽れたる事その諸の罪愆その身を卑くする前に崇邱を築きてアシラ像および刻たる像を立たる處々などはホザイの言行録の中に記さる
20 So Manasseh went to rest with his fathers, and they put his body to rest in his house, and Amon his son became king in his place.
マナセその先祖とともに寝りたれば之をその家に葬れり其子アモンこれに代りて王となる
21 Amon was twenty-two years old when he became king; and he was ruling for two years in Jerusalem.
アモンは二十二歳の時位に即きヱルサレムにて二年の間世を治めたり
22 He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, as Manasseh his father had done; and Amon made offerings to all the images which his father Manasseh had made, and was their servant.
彼は其父マナセの爲しごとくヱホバの目に惡と觀たまふ事を爲り即ちアモンその父マナセが作りたる諸の刻たる像に犠牲を献げてこれに事へ
23 He did not make himself low before the Lord, as his father Manasseh had done, but went on sinning more and more.
その父マナセが身を卑くせしごとくヱホバの前に身を卑くすることを爲ざりき斯このアモン愈その愆を増たりしが
24 And his servants made a secret design against him, and put him to death in his house.
その臣僕黨を結びて之に叛きこれをその家の内に弑せり
25 But the people of the land put to death all those who had taken part in the design against King Amon, and made his son Josiah king in his place.
然るに國の民その黨を結びてアモン王に叛きし者等を盡く誅し而して國の民その子ヨシアを王となしてその後を嗣しむ
