2 Chronicles 33
1 Manasses was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem.
瑪拿西登基的時候年十二歲，在耶路撒冷作王五十五年。
2 And he did evil before the Lord, according to all the abominations of the nations, which the Lord cast out before the children of Israel:
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，
3 And he turned, and built again the high places which Ezechias his father had destroyed: and he built altars to Baalim, and made groves, and he adored all the host of heaven, and worshipped them.
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，
4 He built also altars in the house of the Lord, whereof the Lord had said: In Jerusalem shall my name be for ever.
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。」
5 And he built them for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the Lord.
他在耶和華殿的兩院中為天上的萬象築壇，
6 And he made his sons to pass through the fire in the valley of Benennom: he observed dreams, followed divinations, gave himself up to magic arts, had with him magicians, and enchanters: and he wrought many evils before the Lord, to provoke him to anger.
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，
7 He set also a graven, and a molten statue 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.
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。
8 And I will not make the foot of Israel to be removed out of the land which I have delivered to their fathers: yet so if they will take heed to do what I hare commanded them, and all the law, and the ceremonies, and judgments by the hand of Moses.
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。」
9 So Manasses seduced Juda, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, to do evil beyond all the nations, which the Lord had destroyed before the face of the children of Israel.
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。
10 And the Lord spoke to him, and to his people, and they would not hearken.
耶和華警戒瑪拿西和他的百姓，他們卻是不聽。
11 Therefore he brought upon them the captains of the army of the king of the Assyrians: and they took Manasses, and carried him bound with chains and fetters to Babylon.
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。
12 And after that he was in distress he prayed to the Lord his God: and did penance exceedingly before the God of his fathers.
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。
13 And he entreated him, and besought him earnestly: and he heard his prayer, and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom, and Manasses knew that the Lord was God.
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。
14 After this he built a wall without the city of David, on the west side of Gihon in the valley, from the entering in of the fish gate round about to Ophel, and raised it up to a great height: and he appointed captains of the army in all the fenced cities of Juda:
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；
15 And he took away the strange gods, and the idol out of the house of the Lord: the altars also which he had made in the mount of the house of the Lord, and in Jerusalem, and he cast them all out of the city.
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；
16 And he repaired the altar of the Lord, and sacrificed upon it victims, and peace offerings, and praise: and he commanded Juda to serve the Lord the God of Israel.
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。
17 Nevertheless the people still sacrificed in the high places to the Lord their God.
百姓卻仍在邱壇上獻祭，只獻給耶和華－他們的上帝。
18 But the rest of the acts of Manasses, and his prayer to his God, and the words of the seers that spoke to him in the name of the Lord the God of Israel, are contained in the words of the kings of Israel.
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。
19 His prayer also, and his being heard, and all his sins, and contempt, and places wherein he built high places, and set up groves, and statues before he did penance, are written in the words of Hozai.
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。
20 And Manasses slept with his fathers. and they buried him in his house: and his son Amen reigned in his stead.
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。
21 Amen was two and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem.
亞們登基的時候年二十二歲，在耶路撒冷作王二年。
22 And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, as Manasses his father had done: and he sacrificed to all the idols which Manasses his father had made, and served them.
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，
23 And he did not humble himself before the Lord, as Manasses his father had humbled himself, but committed far greater sins.
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。
24 And his servants conspired against him, and slew him in his own house.
他的臣僕背叛，在宮裏殺了他。
25 But the rest of the multitude of the people slew them that had killed Amen, and made Josias his son king in his stead.
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。
