2 Chronicles 33
1 Manasseh was twelve when he became king, and he reigned in for Jerusalem fifty-five years.
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 Lord's sight by following the disgusting religious practices of the nations that the Lord had driven out before the Israelites.
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 He rebuilt the high places that his father Hezekiah had destroyed, and he made altars for the Baals and set up Asherah poles. He worshiped the sun, moon, and stars and served them.
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 He built altars in the Lord's Temple, about which the Lord had said, “I shall be honored in Jerusalem forever.”
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 He built these altars to worship the sun, moon, and stars in both courtyards of the Lord's Temple.
天の衆群のためにヱホバの室の兩の庭に壇を築き
6 He sacrificed his children by burning them to death in the Valley of Ben-hinnom. He practiced sorcery, divination, and witchcraft, and visited mediums and spiritists. He did a great deal of evil in the Lord's sight, making him angry.
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 He took a pagan idol he had made and set it up in God's Temple, about which God had told David and his son Solomon, “I will be honored forever in this Temple and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen from all the tribes of Israel.
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 If the Israelites are careful to follow everything I have instructed them to do—all the laws, commandments, and regulations, given through Moses—then I will not make them leave the land I granted your forefathers.”
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 But Manasseh seduced Judah and the people of Jerusalem, leading them to commit even worse sins than the nations the Lord had destroyed before Israelites.
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 The Lord warned Manasseh and his people, but they ignored him.
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 the armies of Assyria with their commanders to attack them. The Assyrians captured Manasseh, put a hook through his nose, put bronze shackles on him, and took him away 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 In his misery, asked the Lord God for help, repenting for his arrogance before the God of his forefathers.
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 He prayed and prayed, and the Lord listened to his pleadings, so the Lord brought Manasseh back to Jerusalem and to his kingdom. Then Manasseh was convinced that the Lord is 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, Manasseh rebuilt the outer wall of the City of David from west of Gihon in the valley to the Fish Gate, and around the hill of Ophel, and made it much higher. He also assigned army commanders to all the fortified 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 disposed of the foreign gods and the idol from the Lord's Temple, together with all the altars he had built on the Temple hill and in Jerusalem, throwing all of them outside the city.
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 Then he restored the altar of the Lord, and sacrificed friendship offerings and thank offerings on it, and he instructed Judah to worship 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 But the people still sacrificed on 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 The rest of what Manasseh did, along with his prayer to his God and what he was told by the seers who spoke on the Lord's behalf are recorded in the Book 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 His prayer and how God answered him, as well as all his sins and unfaithfulness, and where he built high places and set up Asherah poles and idols before he admitted he was wrong, are recorded in the Records 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 Manasseh died and was buried at his palace. His son Amon took over as king.
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 when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for two years.
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 Lord's sight just as his father Manasseh had. Amon worshiped and sacrificed to all the idols his father Manasseh had made.
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 However, he did not admit his pride before the Lord as his father Manasseh had done—in fact Amon made his guilt even worse.
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 Then Amon's officials plotted against him and killed him in his palace.
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 killed everyone who had plotted against King Amon, and they made his son Josiah king.
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
