2 Chronicles 33
1 Manasseh was twelue yeere olde, when he beganne to reigne, and he reigned fiue and fiftie yeere in Ierusalem:
[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 euill in the sight of the Lord, like the abominations of the heathen, who the Lord had cast out 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 For he went backe and built the hie places, which Hezekiah his father had broken downe: and he set vp altars for Baalim, and made groues, and worshipped all the hoste of the heauen, and serued 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 Also he built altars in the house of the Lord, whereof the Lord had saide, In Ierusalem shall my Name be for euer.
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 for all the hoste of the heauen in the two courtes of the house of the Lord.
且在上主殿的兩庭院內，為天上萬象建立了一些祭壇；
6 And he caused his sonnes to passe through the fire in the valley of Ben-hinnom: he gaue him selfe to witchcraft and to charming and to sorcerie, and he vsed them that had familiar spirits, and soothsayers: hee did very much euill in the sight of the Lord to anger him.
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 He put also the carued image, which he had made, in the house of God: whereof God had said to Dauid and to Salomon his sonne, In this house and in Ierusalem, which I haue chosen before all the tribes of Israel, will I put my Name for euer,
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 make the foote of Israel to remooue any more out of the lande which I haue appointed for your fathers, so that they take heede, and do all that I haue commanded them, according to the Lawe and statutes and iudgements by the hande of Moses.
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 So Manasseh made Iudah and the inhabitants of Ierusalem to erre, and to doe worse then the heathen, whome the Lord had destroyed 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 the Lord spake to Manasseh and to his people, but they would not regarde.
為此，上主曾警告莫舍納和他的百姓，但是他們不肯聽從。
11 Wherefore the Lord brought vpon them the captaines of the hoste of the King of Asshur, which tooke Manasseh and put him in fetters, and bound him in chaines, and caryed him to Babel.
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 tribulation, he prayed to the Lord his God, and humbled him selfe 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 vnto him: and God was entreated of him, and heard his prayer, and brought him againe to Ierusalem into his kingdome: then Manasseh knewe that the Lord 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 Nowe after this he built a wall without the citie of Dauid, on the Westside of Gihon in the valley, euen at the entrie of the fish gate, and compassed about Ophel, and raised it very hie, and put captaines of warre in all the strong cities of Iudah.
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 tooke away the strange gods and the image out of the house of the Lord, and all the altars that he had built in the mount of the house of the Lord, and in Ierusalem, and cast them out of the citie.
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 Also he prepared the altar of the Lord, and sacrificed thereon peace offerings, and of thankes, and commanded Iudah to serue the Lord 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 Neuerthelesse the people did sacrifice stil in the hie places, but vnto the Lord their God.
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 Concerning the rest of the actes of Manasseh, and his prayer vnto his God, and the words of the Seers, that spake to him in ye Name of the Lord God of Israel, beholde, they are written in the booke 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 sinne, and his trespasse, and the places wherein he built hie places, and set groues and images (before he was humbled) behold, they are written in the booke of the Seers.
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 So Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they buried him in his owne house: and Amon his sonne 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 two and twentie yeere olde, when he began to reigne, and reigned two yeere in Ierusalem.
阿孟登極時年二十二歲，在耶路撒冷作王二年。
22 But he did euill in the sight of the Lord, as did Manasseh his father: for Amon sacrificed to all the images, which Manasseh his father had made, and serued 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 humbled not him selfe before the Lord, as Manasseh his father had humbled himselfe: but this Amon trespassed more and more.
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 seruants conspired against him, and slewe him in his owne 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 slewe all them that had conspired against King Amon: and the people of the land made Iosiah his sonne King in his steade.
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。
