2 Chronicles 33
1 Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign; and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem.
[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。
2 And he did evil in the sight of Jehovah, like the abominations of the nations that Jehovah had dispossessed from before the children of Israel.
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。
3 And he built again the high places that Hezekiah his father had broken down; and he reared up altars to the Baals, and made Asherahs, and worshipped all the host of heaven and served them.
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。
4 And he built altars in the house of Jehovah, of which Jehovah had said, In Jerusalem shall my name be for ever.
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；
5 And he built altars to all the host of heaven in both courts of the house of Jehovah.
且在上主殿的兩庭院內，為天上萬象建立了一些祭壇；
6 He also caused his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom; and he used magic and divination and sorcery, and appointed necromancers and soothsayers: he wrought evil beyond measure in the sight of Jehovah, to provoke him to anger.
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。
7 And he set the graven image of the idol that he had made, in the house of God, of which God had said to David and to Solomon his son, In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, will I put my name for ever;
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。
8 neither will I any more remove the foot of Israel from out of the land that I have appointed to your fathers; if they will only take heed to do all that I commanded them through Moses, according to all the law and the statutes and the ordinances.
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。」
9 And Manasseh led Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem astray, to do more evil than the nations that Jehovah had destroyed from before the children of Israel.
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]
10 And Jehovah spoke to Manasseh and to his people; but they did not hearken.
為此，上主曾警告莫舍納和他的百姓，但是他們不肯聽從。
11 And Jehovah brought upon them the captains of the host of the king of Assyria, who took Manasseh with fetters, and bound him with chains of brass, and carried him to Babylon.
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。
12 And when he was in affliction, he besought Jehovah his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers,
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，
13 and prayed to him. And he was intreated of him and heard his supplication, and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that Jehovah, he was God.
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]
14 And after this he built the outer wall of the city of David, on the west, toward Gihon, in the valley, even to the entrance of the fish-gate, and carried it round Ophel, and raised it up a very great height; and he put captains of war in all the fortified cities of Judah.
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。
15 And he removed the strange gods, and the idol out of the house of Jehovah, and all the altars that he had built on the mount of the house of Jehovah and in Jerusalem, and cast [them] out of the city.
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，
16 And he reinstated the altar of Jehovah, and sacrificed on it peace-offerings and thank-offerings, and commanded Judah to serve Jehovah the God of Israel.
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。
17 Nevertheless, the people sacrificed still on the high places, although to Jehovah their God only.
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]
18 And the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and his prayer to his God, and the words of the seers that spoke to him in the name of Jehovah the God of Israel, behold, they [are written] in the acts of the kings of Israel.
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。
19 And his prayer, and [how God] was intreated of him, and all his sin and his unfaithfulness, and the places in which he built high places, and set up Asherahs and graven images, before he was humbled, behold, they are written among the words of Hozai.
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。
20 And Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they buried him in his own house; and Amon his son reigned in his stead.
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]
21 Amon was twenty-two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned two years in Jerusalem.
阿孟登極時年二十二歲，在耶路撒冷作王二年。
22 And he did evil in the sight of Jehovah, as Manasseh his father had done; and Amon sacrificed to all the graven images that Manasseh his father had made, and served them.
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，
23 And he did not humble himself before Jehovah, as Manasseh his father had humbled himself; for he, Amon, multiplied trespass.
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。
24 And his servants conspired against him, and slew him in his own house.
為此，他的臣僕共謀造反，在宮中將他殺死。
25 But the people of the land smote all them that had conspired against king Amon; and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his stead.
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。
