2 Kings 21

1 Manasses was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned five and fifty years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Haphsiba.

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。

2 And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, according to the idols of the nations, which the Lord destroyed from before the face of the children of Israel.

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。

3 And he turned, and built up the high places which Ezechias his father had destroyed: and he set up altars to Baal, and made groves, as Achab the king of Israel had done: and he adored all the host of heaven, and served them.

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；

4 And he built altars in the house of the Lord, of which the Lord said: In Jerusalem I will put my name.

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。」

5 And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the temple 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 son pass through fire: and he used divination, and observed omens, and appointed pythons, and multiplied soothsayers to do evil before the Lord, and to provoke him.

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；

7 He set also an idol of the grove, which he had made, in the temple of the Lord: concerning which the Lord said to David, and to Solomon his son: In this temple, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, I will put my name for ever.

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。

8 And I will no more make the feet of Israel to be moved out of the land, which I gave to their fathers: only if they will observe to do all that I have commanded them according to the law which my servant Moses commanded them.

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。」

9 But they hearkened not: but were seduced by Manasses, to do evil more than the nations which the Lord destroyed before the children of Israel.

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。

10 And the Lord spoke in the hand of his servants, the prophets, saying:

耶和華藉他僕人眾先知說：

11 Because Manasses king of Juda hath done these most wicked abominations, beyond all that the Amorrhites did before him, and hath made Juda also to sin with his filthy doings:

「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；

12 Therefore thus saith the Lord the God of Israel: Behold I will bring on evils upon Jerusalem and Juda: that whosoever shall hear of them, both his ears shall tingle.

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。

13 And I will stretch over Jerusalem the line of Samaria, and the weight of the house of Achab: and I will efface Jerusalem, as tables are wont to be effaced, and I will erase and turn it, and draw the pencil often over the face thereof.

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。

14 And I will leave the remnants of my inheritance, and will deliver them into the hands of their enemies: and they shall become a prey, and a spoil to all their enemies.

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；

15 Because they have done evil before me, and have continued to provoke me, from the day that their fathers came out of Egypt, even unto this day.

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。」

16 Moreover Manasses shed also very much innocent blood, till he filled Jerusalem up to the mouth: besides his sins, wherewith he made Juda to sin, to do evil before the Lord.

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。

17 Now the rest of the acts of Manasses, and all that he did, and his sin which he sinned, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda?

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。

18 And Manasses slept with his fathers, and was buried in the garden of his own house, in the garden of Oza: and Amen his son reigned in his stead.

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。

19 Two and twenty years old was Amen when he began to reign, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Messalemeth the daughter of Harus of Jeteba.

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。

20 And he did evil in the sight, of the Lord, as Manasses his father had done.

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；

21 And he walked in all the way in which his father had walked: and he served the abominations which his father had served, and he adored them;

行他父親一切所行的，敬奉他父親所敬奉的偶像，

22 And forsook the Lord the God of his fathers, and walked not in the way of the Lord.

離棄耶和華－他列祖的上帝，不遵行耶和華的道。

23 And his servants plotted against him, and slew the king in his own house.

亞們王的臣僕背叛他，在宮裏殺了他。

24 But the people of the land slew all them that had conspired against king Amen: and made Josias his son their 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。

25 But the rest of the acts of Amen which he did, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda?

亞們其餘所行的事都寫在猶大列王記上。

26 And they buried him in his sepulchre in the garden of Oza: and his son Josias reigned in his stead.

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。
