Kings IV 21
1 Manasses [was] twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name [was] Apsiba.
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 that which was evil in the eyes of the Lord, according to the abominations of the nations which the Lord cast out from 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 And he built again the high places, which Ezekias his father [had] demolished; and set up an altar to Baal, and made groves as Achaab king of Israel [made them]; and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served 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 And he built an altar in the house of the Lord, whereas he had said, In Jerusalem I will place 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 an altar to all the host of heaven in the two courts 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 sons to pass through the fire, and used divination and auspices, and made groves, and multiplied wizards, so as to do that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, to provoke him to anger.
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 up the graven image of the grove in the house of which the Lord 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 even place my name for ever.
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 And I will not again remove the foot of Israel from the land which I gave to their fathers, [even of those] who shall keep all that I commanded, according to all the commandments which my servant 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 But they listened not; and Manasses led them astray to do evil in the sight of the Lord, beyond the nations whom the Lord utterly destroyed from 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 And the Lord spoke by his servants the prophets, saying,
為此，上主藉他的僕人先知警告說：「
11 Forasmuch as Manasses the king of Juda has wrought all these evil abominations, beyond all that the Amorite did, who lived before [him], and has led Juda also into sin by their idols,
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 [it shall] not [be] so. Thus says the Lord God of Israel, Behold, I bring calamities upon Jerusalem and Juda, so that both the ears of every one that hears 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 out over Jerusalem the measure of Samaria, and the plummet of the house of Achaab: and I will wipe Jerusalem as a jar is wiped, and turned upside down in the wiping.
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 reject the remnant of my inheritance, and will deliver them into the hands of their enemies; and they shall be for a plunder and for a spoil to all their enemies:
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 forasmuch as they have done wickedly in my sight, and have provoked me from the day that I brought out their fathers out of Egypt, even until 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 Moreover Manasses shed very much innocent blood, until he filled Jerusalem [with it] from one end to the other, beside his sins with which he caused Juda to sin, in doing evil in the eyes 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 And the rest of the acts of Manasses, and all that he did, and his sin which he sinned, [are] not these things written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda?
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 Manasses slept with his fathers, and was buried in the garden of his house, [even] in the garden of Oza: and Amos his son reigned in his stead.
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 Twenty and two years old [was] Amos when he began to reign, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name [was] Mesollam, daughter of Arus of Jeteba.
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 that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, as Manasses his father did.
他行了上主認為視為惡的事。全像他父親所行的一樣；
21 And he walked in all the way in which his father walked, and served the idols which his father served, 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 forsook 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 servants of Amos conspired against him, and killed the king in his house.
阿孟臣僕共謀造反，在宮內將君王殺了；
24 And the people of the land killed all that had conspired against king Amos; and the people of the land made Josias king in his room.
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 And the rest of the acts of Amos, [even] all that he did, behold, [are] not these written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda?
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 tomb in the garden of Oza: and Josias his son reigned in his stead.
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。
