2 Kings 21
1 Manasseh was twelue yeere olde when he began to reigne, and reigned fiftie and fiue yeere in Ierusalem: his mothers name also was Hephzi-bah.
默納舍登極時才十二歲，在耶咯撒冷做王五十五年，他的母親名叫赫斐漆巴。
2 And he did euill in the sight of the Lord after the abomination of the heathen, whom the Lord had cast out before the children of Israel.
他行了上主視為惡的事，仿效上主從以色列子民前所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 destroyed: and he erected vp altars for Baal, and made a groue, as did Ahab King of Israel, and worshipped all the hoste of heauen and serued them.
重建了他父親希則克雅所拆毀的高丘，為巴耳建立了祭壇，製造了木偶，像以色列王阿哈布所作的一樣，且崇拜敬奉天上的萬象，
4 Also he built altars in the house of the Lord, of the which the Lord saide, In Ierusalem will I put my Name.
雖然上主曾指著聖殿說過：「我要將我的名建立在耶路撒冷。」但他仍在上主的殿內建立了一些祭壇，
5 And he built altars for al the hoste of ye heauen in the two courtes of the house of the Lord.
又在上主殿宇的兩庭院內，為天上萬像建立了祭壇；
6 And he caused his sonnes to passe through the fire, and gaue him selfe to witchcraft and sorcerie, and he vsed them that had familiar spirits and were soothsayers, and did much euill in the sight of the Lord to anger him.
使自己的兒子經火獻神，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 image of the groue, that he had made, in the house, whereof ye Lord had saide to Dauid and to Salomon his sonne, In this house and in Ierusalem, which I haue chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, will I put my Name for euer.
他又將自己製造的阿舍辣雕像，安放在上主的殿內，雖然上主論及這殿曾對達味的兒子撒羅滿說：「我要在這殿內，和我在以色列各支派所選出的耶路撒冷立我的名，直到永遠；
8 Neither will I make the feete of Israel, mooue any more out of the lande, which I gaue their fathers: so that they will obserue and doe all that I haue commanded them, and according to all the Lawe that my seruant Moses commanded them.
只要以色列謹守遵行我所吩咐他們的一切，及我僕人梅瑟所吩咐他們的一切法律，我決不再使以色列人的腳，離開我賜與他們祖先的土地。」
9 Yet they obeyed not, but Manasseh ledde them out of the way, to doe more wickedly then did the heathen people, whom the Lord destroyed before the children of Israel.
但是，他們卻不聽從，甚至默納舍誘惑他們行惡，甚於上主由以色列子民前所消滅的那些民族。
10 Therefore the Lord spake by his seruants the Prophets, saying,
為此，上主藉他的僕人先知警告說：「
11 Because that Manasseh King of Iudah hath done such abominations, and hath wrought more wickedly then al that the Amorites (which were before him) did, and hath made Iudah sinne also with his idoles,
因為猶太王默納舍行了這些可恥的事，甚於他以前的阿摩黎人所行的，以自己的神像引猶太犯罪。
12 Therefore thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Beholde, I will bring an euill vpon Ierusalem and Iudah, that who so heareth of it, both his eares shall tingle.
所以上主以色列的天主這樣說：看，我要使這樣的災禍降在耶路撒冷和猶太，使聽見的人兩耳都要齊鳴。
13 And I will stretch ouer Ierusalem the line of Samaria, and the plommet of the house of Ahab: and I will wipe Ierusalem, as a man wipeth a dish, which he wipeth, and turneth it vpside downe.
我要用測量撒瑪黎雅的繩索，和測量阿哈布家的鉛錘，來測量耶路撒冷，要擦淨耶路撒冷如同人擦淨盤子一樣，擦淨之後，就翻過來；
14 And I will forsake the remnant of mine inheritance, and deliuer them into the hande of their enemies, and they shalbe robbed and spoyled of all their aduersaries,
我要拋棄作我產業的遺民，將他們交於敵人手中，使他們成為一切敵人的掠物與勝利品。
15 Because they haue done euil in my sight, and haue prouoked mee to anger, since the time their fathers came out of Egypt vntill this day.
因為他們自從他們的祖先出離埃及那一天，直到今日，行了我視為惡的事，使我發怒。」
16 Moreouer Manasseh shed innocent blood exceeding much, till hee replenished Ierusalem from corner to corner, beside his sinne wherwith he made Iudah to sinne, and to doe euill in the sight of the Lord.
默納舍除了使猶大陷於罪惡，行了上主視為惡的事以外，還流了許多無辜者的血，使耶路撒冷流成河，從這邊流到那邊。
17 Concerning the rest of the actes of Manasseh, and all that hee did, and his sinne that he sinned, are they not written in the booke of the Chronicles of the Kings of Iudah?
默納舍其餘的事蹟，他行的一切，所犯的罪惡，都記載在猶大列王實錄上。
18 And Manasseh slept with his fathers, and was buried in the garden of his own house, euen in the garden of Vzza: and Amon his sonne reigned in his steade.
默納舍與他的列祖同眠，埋葬在王宮花園，即烏匝花園裏；他的兒子阿孟繼位為王。
19 Amon was two and twentie yere olde, when he began to reigne, and hee reygned two yeere in Ierusalem: his mothers name also was Meshullemeth the daughter of Haruz of Iotbah.
阿孟登極時，年二十二歲，在耶路撒冷作王兩年；他的母親名叫默叔肋默，是約特巴人哈魯茲的女兒。
20 And he did euill in the sight of the Lord, as his father Manasseh did.
他行了上主認為視為惡的事。全像他父親所行的一樣；
21 For hee walked in all the way that his father walked in, and serued the idoles that his father serued, and worshipped them.
走了他父親所走的的路，事奉敬拜了他父親所事奉的偶像，
22 And he forsooke the Lord God of his fathers, and walked not in the way of the Lord.
離棄了上主他祖先的天主，未隨上主的道路。
23 And the seruantes of Amon conspired against him, and slewe the King in his owne house.
阿孟臣僕共謀造反，在宮內將君王殺了；
24 And the people of the land slewe all them that had conspired against King Amon, and the people made Iosiah his sonne King in his steade.
但地方的人民起來，殺了所有反叛阿孟王的人，立了他的兒子約史雅繼位為王。
25 Concerning the rest of the actes of Amon, which he did, are they not written in the booke of the Chronicles of the Kings of Iudah?
阿孟所作的其它事蹟，都記載在猶大列王實錄上。
26 And they buried him in his sepulchre in the garden of Vzza: and Iosiah his sonne reigned in his steade.
他也葬在烏匝花園內自己的墳墓裏；他的兒子約史雅繼位為王。
