< 2 Kings 21 >
1 Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign; he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Hephzibah.
玛拿西登基的时候年十二岁,在耶路撒冷作王五十五年。他母亲名叫协西巴。
2 He did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh, like the disgusting things of the nations whom Yahweh had driven out before the people of Israel.
玛拿西行耶和华眼中看为恶的事,效法耶和华在以色列人面前赶出的外邦人所行可憎的事。
3 For he rebuilt the high places that Hezekiah his father had destroyed, and he built altars for Baal, made an Asherah pole, as Ahab king of Israel had done, and he bowed down to all the stars of heaven and worshiped them.
重新建筑他父希西家所毁坏的邱坛,又为巴力筑坛,做亚舍拉像,效法以色列王亚哈所行的,且敬拜事奉天上的万象;
4 Manasseh built altars in the house of Yahweh, although Yahweh had commanded, “It is in Jerusalem that my name will be forever.”
在耶和华殿宇中筑坛。耶和华曾指着这殿说:“我必立我的名在耶路撒冷。”
5 He built altars for all the stars of heaven in the two courtyards of the house of Yahweh.
他在耶和华殿的两院中为天上的万象筑坛,
6 He caused his son to pass through the fire, he performed sorcery and divination and consulted with those who talked with the dead and with those who talked with spirits. He did much evil in the sight of Yahweh, provoking him to anger.
并使他的儿子经火,又观兆,用法术,立交鬼的和行巫术的,多行耶和华眼中看为恶的事,惹动他的怒气;
7 The carved figure of Asherah that he had made, he placed it in the house of Yahweh. It was about this house that Yahweh had spoken to David and Solomon his son; he had said: “It is in this house and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen from all the tribes of Israel, that I will put my name forever.
又在殿内立雕刻的亚舍拉像。耶和华曾对大卫和他儿子所罗门说:“我在以色列众支派中所选择的耶路撒冷和这殿,必立我的名,直到永远。
8 I will not cause the feet of Israel to wander any more out of the land that I gave to their ancestors, if they will only be careful to obey all that I have commanded them, and to follow all the law that my servant Moses commanded them.”
以色列人若谨守遵行我一切所吩咐他们的和我仆人摩西所吩咐他们的一切律法,我就不再使他们挪移离开我所赐给他们列祖之地。”
9 But the people did not listen, and Manasseh led them to do evil even more than the nations that Yahweh had destroyed before the people of Israel.
他们却不听从。玛拿西引诱他们行恶,比耶和华在以色列人面前所灭的列国更甚。
10 So Yahweh spoke by his servants the prophets, saying,
耶和华借他仆人众先知说:
11 “Because Manasseh king of Judah has done these disgusting things, and has acted wickedly more than all that the Amorites who were before him did, and has also made Judah sin with his idols,
“因犹大王玛拿西行这些可憎的恶事比先前亚摩利人所行的更甚,使犹大人拜他的偶像,陷在罪里;
12 therefore Yahweh, the God of Israel, says this: Look, I am about to bring such evil on Jerusalem and Judah that whoever hears of it, both his ears will tingle.
所以耶和华—以色列的 神如此说:我必降祸与耶路撒冷和犹大,叫一切听见的人无不耳鸣。
13 I will stretch over Jerusalem the measuring line used against Samaria, and the plumb line used against the house of Ahab; I will wipe Jerusalem clean, as a man wipes a dish, wiping it and turning it upside down.
我必用量撒马利亚的准绳和亚哈家的线铊拉在耶路撒冷上,必擦净耶路撒冷,如人擦盘,将盘倒扣。
14 I will throw off the remnant of my inheritance and give them into the hand of their enemies. They will become victims and plunder for all their enemies,
我必弃掉所余剩的子民,把他们交在仇敌手中,使他们成为一切仇敌掳掠之物;
15 because they have done what is evil in my sight, and have provoked me to anger, since the day their ancestors came out of Egypt, to this day.”
是因他们自从列祖出埃及直到如今,常行我眼中看为恶的事,惹动我的怒气。”
16 Moreover, Manasseh shed much innocent blood, until he had filled Jerusalem from one end to another with death. This was in addition to the sin by which he made Judah to sin, when they did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh.
玛拿西行耶和华眼中看为恶的事,使犹大人陷在罪里,又流许多无辜人的血,充满了耶路撒冷,从这边直到那边。
17 As for the other matters concerning Manasseh, all that he did, and the sin that he committed, are they not written in the book of the events of the kings of Judah?
玛拿西其余的事,凡他所行的和他所犯的罪都写在犹大列王记上。
18 Manasseh slept with his ancestors and was buried in the garden of his own house, in the garden of Uzza. Amon his son became king in his place.
玛拿西与他列祖同睡,葬在自己宫院乌撒的园内;他儿子亚们接续他作王。
19 Amon was twenty-two years old when he began to reign; he reigned two years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Meshullemeth; she was the daughter of Haruz of Jotbah.
亚们登基的时候年二十二岁,在耶路撒冷作王二年。他母亲名叫米舒利密,是约提巴人哈鲁斯的女儿。
20 He did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh, as Manasseh his father had done.
亚们行耶和华眼中看为恶的事,与他父亲玛拿西所行的一样;
21 Amon followed in all the way that his father had walked in and worshiped the idols that his father worshiped, and bowed down to them.
行他父亲一切所行的,敬奉他父亲所敬奉的偶像,
22 He abandoned Yahweh, the God of his fathers, and did not walk in the way of Yahweh.
离弃耶和华—他列祖的 神,不遵行耶和华的道。
23 The servants of Amon conspired against him and put the king to death in his own house.
亚们王的臣仆背叛他,在宫里杀了他。
24 But the people of the land killed all those who had conspired against King Amon, and they made Josiah his son king in his place.
但国民杀了那些背叛亚们王的人,立他儿子约西亚接续他作王。
25 As for the other matters concerning Amon that he did, are they not written in the book of the events of the kings of Judah?
亚们其余所行的事都写在犹大列王记上。
26 The people buried him in his tomb in the garden of Uzza, and Josiah his son became king in his place.
亚们葬在乌撒的园内自己的坟墓里。他儿子约西亚接续他作王。
