2 Chronicles 33
1 Manasseh is a son of twelve years in his reigning, and he has reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem;
[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 does evil in the eyes of YHWH, like the abominations of the nations that YHWH dispossessed from the presence of the sons 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 and he turns and builds the high places that his father Hezekiah has broken down, and raises altars for Ba‘alim, and makes Asherim, and bows himself to all the host of the heavens, and serves 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 And he has built altars in the house of YHWH of which YHWH had said, “My Name is in Jerusalem for all time.”
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 builds altars for all the host of the heavens in the two courts of the house of YHWH.
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 has caused his sons to pass over through fire in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, and observed clouds and used enchantments and witchcraft, and dealt with a familiar spirit, and a wizard; he has multiplied to do evil in the eyes of YHWH, to provoke him to anger.
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 And he places the carved image of the idol that he made in the house of God, of which God said to David, and to his son Solomon, “In this house, and in Jerusalem that I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, I put My Name for all time,
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 and I do not add to turn aside the foot of Israel from off the ground that I appointed to your fathers, only, if they watch to do all that I have commanded them—to all the Law, and the statutes, and the ordinances by the hand 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 And Manasseh causes Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to err, to do evil above the nations that YHWH destroyed from the presence of the sons 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 YHWH speaks to Manasseh and to his people, and they have not attended,
為此，上主曾警告莫舍納和他的百姓，但是他們不肯聽從。
11 and YHWH brings in against them the heads of the host that the king of Asshur has, and they capture Manasseh among the thickets, and bind him with bronze chains, and cause him to go to Babylon.
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 is in distress he has appeased the face of his God YHWH, and is exceedingly humbled 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 prays to Him, and He accepts his plea, and hears his supplication, and brings him back to Jerusalem, to his kingdom, and Manasseh knows that He, YHWH, [is] 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 And after this he has built an outer wall for the City of David, on the west of Gihon, in the valley, and at the entering in at the Fish Gate, and it has gone around to the tower, and he makes it exceedingly high, and he puts heads of the force in all the cities of the bulwarks in Judah.
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 turns aside the gods of the stranger, and the idol, out of the house of YHWH, and all the altars that he had built on the mountain of the house of YHWH and in Jerusalem, and casts [them] to the outside of the city.
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 And he builds the altar of YHWH, and sacrifices on it sacrifices of peace-offerings and thank-offering, and commands to Judah to serve YHWH, 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 but still the people are sacrificing in high places, only—to their God YHWH.
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 And the rest of the matters of Manasseh, and his prayer to his God, and the matters of the seers, those speaking to him in the Name of YHWH, God of Israel, behold, they are [on the scroll of] the matters 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 his plea, and all his sin, and his trespass, and the places in which he had built high places, and established the Asherim and the carved images before his being humbled, behold, they are written beside the matters of Hozai.
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 And Manasseh lies with his fathers, and they bury him in his own house, and his son Amon reigns 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 [is] a son of twenty-two years in his reigning, and he has reigned two years in Jerusalem,
阿孟登極時年二十二歲，在耶路撒冷作王二年。
22 and he does evil in the eyes of YHWH, as his father Manasseh did, and Amon has sacrificed to all the carved images that his father Manasseh had made, and serves 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 has not been humbled before YHWH, like the humbling of his father Manasseh, for Amon himself has multiplied guilt.
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 servants conspire against him and put him to death in his own house,
為此，他的臣僕共謀造反，在宮中將他殺死。
25 and the people of the land strike all those conspiring against King Amon, and the people of the land cause his son Josiah to reign in his stead.
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。
