列王記Ⅱ 21
1 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
Manasseh was twelue yeere olde when he began to reigne, and reigned fiftie and fiue yeere in Ierusalem: his mothers name also was Hephzi-bah.
2 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
And he did euill in the sight of the Lord after the abomination of the heathen, whom the Lord had cast out before the children of Israel.
3 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
For he went backe and built the hie places, which Hezekiah his father had destroyed: and he erected vp altars for Baal, and made a groue, as did Ahab King of Israel, and worshipped all the hoste of heauen and serued them.
4 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
Also he built altars in the house of the Lord, of the which the Lord saide, In Ierusalem will I put my Name.
5 彼ヱホバの家の二の庭に祭壇を築き
And he built altars for al the hoste of ye heauen in the two courtes of the house of the Lord.
6 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
And he caused his sonnes to passe through the fire, and gaue him selfe to witchcraft and sorcerie, and he vsed them that had familiar spirits and were soothsayers, and did much euill in the sight of the Lord to anger him.
7 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
And he set the image of the groue, that he had made, in the house, whereof ye Lord had saide to Dauid and to Salomon his sonne, In this house and in Ierusalem, which I haue chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, will I put my Name for euer.
8 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
Neither will I make the feete of Israel, mooue any more out of the lande, which I gaue their fathers: so that they will obserue and doe all that I haue commanded them, and according to all the Lawe that my seruant Moses commanded them.
9 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
Yet they obeyed not, but Manasseh ledde them out of the way, to doe more wickedly then did the heathen people, whom the Lord destroyed before the children of Israel.
10 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
Therefore the Lord spake by his seruants the Prophets, saying,
11 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
Because that Manasseh King of Iudah hath done such abominations, and hath wrought more wickedly then al that the Amorites (which were before him) did, and hath made Iudah sinne also with his idoles,
12 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
Therefore thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Beholde, I will bring an euill vpon Ierusalem and Iudah, that who so heareth of it, both his eares shall tingle.
13 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
And I will stretch ouer Ierusalem the line of Samaria, and the plommet of the house of Ahab: and I will wipe Ierusalem, as a man wipeth a dish, which he wipeth, and turneth it vpside downe.
14 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
And I will forsake the remnant of mine inheritance, and deliuer them into the hande of their enemies, and they shalbe robbed and spoyled of all their aduersaries,
15 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
Because they haue done euil in my sight, and haue prouoked mee to anger, since the time their fathers came out of Egypt vntill this day.
16 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
Moreouer Manasseh shed innocent blood exceeding much, till hee replenished Ierusalem from corner to corner, beside his sinne wherwith he made Iudah to sinne, and to doe euill in the sight of the Lord.
17 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
Concerning the rest of the actes of Manasseh, and all that hee did, and his sinne that he sinned, are they not written in the booke of the Chronicles of the Kings of Iudah?
18 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
And Manasseh slept with his fathers, and was buried in the garden of his own house, euen in the garden of Vzza: and Amon his sonne reigned in his steade.
19 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
Amon was two and twentie yere olde, when he began to reigne, and hee reygned two yeere in Ierusalem: his mothers name also was Meshullemeth the daughter of Haruz of Iotbah.
20 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
And he did euill in the sight of the Lord, as his father Manasseh did.
21 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
For hee walked in all the way that his father walked in, and serued the idoles that his father serued, and worshipped them.
22 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
And he forsooke the Lord God of his fathers, and walked not in the way of the Lord.
23 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
And the seruantes of Amon conspired against him, and slewe the King in his owne house.
24 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
And the people of the land slewe all them that had conspired against King Amon, and the people made Iosiah his sonne King in his steade.
25 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
Concerning the rest of the actes of Amon, which he did, are they not written in the booke of the Chronicles of the Kings of Iudah?
26 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
And they buried him in his sepulchre in the garden of Vzza: and Iosiah his sonne reigned in his steade.
