< 2 Chronicles 33 >
1 Manasseh is a son of twelve years in his reigning, and he has reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem;
マナセは十二歳の時位に即きヱルサレムにて五十五年の間世を治めたり
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,
彼はヱホバの目に惡と觀たまふことを爲しイスラエルの子孫の前よりヱホバの逐はらひたまひし國人の行ふところの憎むべき事に傚へり
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.
即ちその父ヒゼキヤの毀ちたりし崇邱を改ため築き諸のバアルのために壇を設けアシラ像を作り天の衆群を拝みて之に事へ
4 And he has built altars in the house of YHWH of which YHWH had said, “My Name is in Jerusalem for all time.”
またヱホバが我名は永くヱルサレムに在べしと宣まひしヱホバの室の内に數箇の壇を築き
5 And he builds altars for all the host of the heavens in the two courts of the house of YHWH.
天の衆群のためにヱホバの室の兩の庭に壇を築き
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.
またベンヒンノムの谷にてその子女に火の中を通らせかつ占卜を行ひ魔術をつかひ禁厭を爲し憑鬼者と卜筮師を取用ひなどしてヱホバの目に惡と視たまふ事を多く行ひてその震怒を惹起せり
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,
彼またその作りし偶像を神の室に安置せり神此室につきてダビデとその子ソロモンに言たまひし事あり云く我この室と我がイスラエルの諸の支派の中より選びたるヱルサレムとに我名を永く置ん
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.”
彼らもし我が凡て命ぜし事すなはちモーセが傳へし一切の律法と法度と例典を謹みて行はば我が汝らの先祖のために定めし地より我これが足を重てうつさじと
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.
マナセかくユダとヱルサレムの民とを迷はして惡を行はしめたり其状イスラエルの子孫の前にヱホバの滅ぼしたまひし異邦人よりも甚だし
10 And YHWH speaks to Manasseh and to his people, and they have not attended,
ヱホバ、マナセおよびその民を諭したまひしかども聽ことをせざりき
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.
是をもてヱホバ、アッスリヤの王の軍勢の諸將をこれに攻來らせたまひて彼等つひにマナセを鉤にて擄へ之を杻械に繋ぎてバビロンに曳ゆけり
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,
然るに彼患難に罹るにおよびてその神ヱホバを和めその先祖の神の前に大に身を卑くして
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.
神に祈りければその祈祷を容れその懇願を聽きこれをヱルサレムに携へかへりて再び國に莅ましめたまへり是によりてマナセ、ヱホバは誠に神にいますと知り
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.
この後かれダビデの邑の外にてギホンの西の方なる谷の内に石垣を築き魚門の入口までに及ぼし又オベルに石垣を環らして甚だ高く之を築き上げユダの一切の堅固なる邑に軍長を置き
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.
またヱホバの室より異邦の神々および偶像を取除きヱホバの室の山とヱルサレムとに自ら築きし一切の壇を取のぞきて邑の外に投すて
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;
ヱホバの壇を修復ひて酬恩祭および感謝祭をその上に献げユダに命じてイスラエルの神ヱホバに事へしめたり
17 but still the people are sacrificing in high places, only—to their God YHWH.
然れども民は猶崇邱にて犠牲を献ぐることなを爲り但しその神ヱホバに而已なりき
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;
マナセのその餘の行爲その神になせし祈祷およびイスラエルの神ヱホバの名をもて彼を諭せし先見者等の言はイスラエルの列王の言行録に見ゆ
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.
またその祈祷を爲たる事その聽れたる事その諸の罪愆その身を卑くする前に崇邱を築きてアシラ像および刻たる像を立たる處々などはホザイの言行録の中に記さる
20 And Manasseh lies with his fathers, and they bury him in his own house, and his son Amon reigns in his stead.
マナセその先祖とともに寝りたれば之をその家に葬れり其子アモンこれに代りて王となる
21 Amon [is] a son of twenty-two years in his reigning, and he has reigned two years in Jerusalem,
アモンは二十二歳の時位に即きヱルサレムにて二年の間世を治めたり
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,
彼は其父マナセの爲しごとくヱホバの目に惡と觀たまふ事を爲り即ちアモンその父マナセが作りたる諸の刻たる像に犠牲を献げてこれに事へ
23 and has not been humbled before YHWH, like the humbling of his father Manasseh, for Amon himself has multiplied guilt.
その父マナセが身を卑くせしごとくヱホバの前に身を卑くすることを爲ざりき斯このアモン愈その愆を増たりしが
24 And his servants conspire against him and put him to death in his own house,
その臣僕黨を結びて之に叛きこれをその家の内に弑せり
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.
然るに國の民その黨を結びてアモン王に叛きし者等を盡く誅し而して國の民その子ヨシアを王となしてその後を嗣しむ
