2 Kings 21
1 Twelve years old was Menasseh when he became king, and fifty and five years did he reign in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Chephzi-bah.
マナセ十二歳にして王となり五十五年の間ヱルサレムにて世を治めたりその母の名はヘフジバといふ
2 And he did what is evil in the eyes of the Lord, after the abominable acts of the nations whom the Lord had driven out before the children of Israel.
マナセはヱホバの目の前に惡をなしヱホバがイスラエルの子孫の前より逐はらひたまひし國々の人がなすところの憎むべき事に傚へり
3 And he built up again the high-places which Hezekiah his father had destroyed; and he reared up altars for Ba'al, and made a grove, as Achab the king of Israel had done; and he bowed down to all the host of heaven, and served them.
彼はその父ヒゼキヤが毀たる崇邱を改め築き又イスラエルの王アハブのなせしごとくバアルのために祭壇を築きアシラ像を作り天の衆群を拝みてこれに事へ
4 And he built altars in the house of the Lord, of which the Lord had said, In Jerusalem will I put my name.
またヱホバの家の中に數箇の祭壇を築けり是はヱホバがこれをさして我わが名をヱルサレムにおかんと言たまひし家なり
5 And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the Lord.
彼ヱホバの家の二の庭に祭壇を築き
6 And he caused his son to pass through the fire, and observed times, and used enchantments, and dealt with familiar spirits and wizards: he wrought much that is evil in the eyes of the Lord, to provoke him to anger.
またその子に火の中を通らしめ卜占をなし魔術をおこなひ口寄者と卜筮師を取もちひヱホバの目の前に衆多の惡を爲てその震怒を惹おこせり
7 And he set a hewn image of the Asherah that he had made in the house, of which the Lord had said to David, and to Solomon his son, In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all tribes of Israel, will I put my name for ever:
彼はその作りしアシラの銅像を殿にたてたりヱホバこの殿につきてダビデとその子ソロモンに言たまひしことあり云く我この家と我がイスラエルの諸の支派の中より選みたるヱルサレムとに吾名を永久におかん
8 And I will not cause any more the foot of Israel to move out of the land which I gave their fathers; only if they will observe to act in accordance with all that I have commanded them, and in accordance with all the law that my servant Moses commanded them.
彼等もし我が凡てこれに命ぜし事わが僕モーセがこれに命ぜし一切の律法を謹みて行はば我これが足をしてわがその先祖等に與へし地より重てさまよひ出ることなからしむべしと
9 But they hearkened not: and Menasseh seduced them to do what is evil more than the nations whom the Lord had destroyed before the children of Israel.
然るに彼等は聽ことをせざりきマナセが人々を誘ひて惡をなせしことはヱホバがイスラエルの子孫の前に滅したまひし國々の人よりも甚だしかりき
10 And the Lord spoke by means of his servants the prophets, saying,
是においてヱホバその僕なる預言者等をもて語て言給はく
11 Forasmuch as Menasseh the king of Judah hath done these abominations, having done wickedly more than all that the Emorites had done, who were before him, and hath induced Judah also to sin with his idols:
ユダの王マナセこれらの憎むべき事を行ひその前にありしアモリ人の凡て爲しところにも踰たる惡をなし亦ユダをしてその偶像をもて罪を犯させたれば
12 Therefore thus hath said the Lord the God of Israel, Behold, I will bring evil upon Jerusalem and Judah, at which both the ears of every one that heareth it shall tingle.
イスラエルの神ヱホバかく言ふ視よ我ヱルサレムとユダに災害をくだす是を聞く者はその耳ふたつながら鳴ん
13 And I will stretch over Jerusalem the measure-line of Samaria, and the plummet of the house of Achab: and I will wipe off Jerusalem as one wipeth off a dish, wiping it, and turning it on its face.
我サマリヤを量りし繩とアハブの家にもちひし準縄をヱルサレムにほどこし人が皿を拭ひこれを拭ひて反覆がごとくにヱルサレムを拭ひさらん
14 And I will forsake the remnant of my inheritance, and give them up into the hand of their enemies; and they shall become a prey and a spoil to all their enemies;
我わが產業の民の殘餘を棄てこれをその敵の手に付さん彼等はその諸の敵の擄掠にあひ掠奪にあふべし
15 Forasmuch as they have done what is evil in my eyes, and have been provoking me to anger, from the day that their fathers came forth out of Egypt, even until this day.
是は彼等その先祖等がエジプトより出し日より今日にいたるまで吾目の前に惡をおこなひて我を怒らするが故なり
16 And also innocent blood did Menasseh shed in very great abundance, till he had filled [therewith] Jerusalem from one end to another; beside his sin wherewith he induced Judah to sin, to do what is evil in the eyes of the Lord.
マナセはヱホバの目の前に惡をおこなひてユダに罪を犯させたる上にまた無辜者の血を多く流してヱルサレムのこの極よりかの極にまで盈せり
17 Now the rest of the acts of Menasseh, and all that he did, and his sin that he committed, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah.
マナセのその餘の行爲とその凡て爲たる事およびその犯したる罪はユダの王の歴代志の書にしるさるるにあらすや
18 And Menasseh slept with his fathers, and was buried in the garden of his own house, in the garden of 'Uzza: and Amon his son became king in his stead.
マナセその先祖等とともに寝りてその家の園すなはちウザの園に葬られその子アモンこれに代りて王となれり
19 Twenty and two years old was Amon when he became king, and two years did he reign in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Meshullemeth, the daughter of Charuz of Yotbah.
アモンは王となれる時二十二歳にしてヱルサレムにおいて二年世を治めたりその母はヨテバのハルツの女にしてその名をメシユレメテと云ふ
20 And he did what is evil in the eyes of the Lord, as his father Menasseh had done.
アモンはその父マナセのなせしごとくヱホバの目の前に惡をなせり
21 And he walked in all the way that his father had walked in, and served the idols that his father had served, and bowed himself down to them;
すなはち彼は凡てその父のあゆみし道にあゆみその父の事へし偶像に事へてこれを拝み
22 And he forsook the Lord the God of his fathers, and walked not in the way of the Lord.
その先祖等の神ヱホバを棄てヱホバの道にあゆまざりき
23 And the servants of Amon conspired against him, and put the king to death in his own house.
茲にアモンの臣僕等黨をむすびて王をその家に弑したりしが
24 And the people of the land slew all those that had conspired against king Amon; and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his stead.
國の民そのアモン王に敵して黨をむすびし者をことごとく撃ころせり而して國の民アモンの子ヨシアを王となしてそれに代らしむ
25 Now the rest of the acts of Amon which he did, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah.
アモンのなしたるその餘の行爲はユダの王の歴代志の書にしるさるるにあらずや
26 And they buried him in his sepulchre in the garden of 'Uzza: and Josiah his son became king in his stead.
アモンはウザの園にてその墓に葬られその子ヨシアこれに代りて王となれり
