歴代誌Ⅱ 33
1 マナセは十二歳で王となり、五十五年の間エルサレムで世を治めた。
Manasseh was twelue yeere olde, when he beganne to reigne, and he reigned fiue and fiftie yeere in Ierusalem:
2 彼は主がイスラエルの人々の前から追い払われた国々の民の憎むべき行いに見ならって、主の目の前に悪を行った。
And he did euill in the sight of the Lord, like the abominations of the heathen, who the Lord had cast out before the children of Israel.
3 すなわち、その父ヒゼキヤがこわした高き所を再び築き、またもろもろのバアルのために祭壇を設け、アシラ像を造り、天の万象を拝んで、これに仕え、
For he went backe and built the hie places, which Hezekiah his father had broken downe: and he set vp altars for Baalim, and made groues, and worshipped all the hoste of the heauen, and serued them.
4 また主が「わが名は永遠にエルサレムにある」と言われた主の宮のうちに数個の祭壇を築き、
Also he built altars in the house of the Lord, whereof the Lord had saide, In Ierusalem shall my Name be for euer.
5 主の宮の二つの庭に天の万象のために祭壇を築いた。
And he built altars for all the hoste of the heauen in the two courtes of the house of the Lord.
6 彼はまたベンヒンノムの谷でその子供を火に焼いて供え物とし、占いをし、魔法をつかい、まじないを行い、口寄せと、占い師を任用するなど、主の前に多くの悪を行って、その怒りをひき起した。
And he caused his sonnes to passe through the fire in the valley of Ben-hinnom: he gaue him selfe to witchcraft and to charming and to sorcerie, and he vsed them that had familiar spirits, and soothsayers: hee did very much euill in the sight of the Lord to anger him.
7 彼はまた刻んだ偶像を造って神の宮に安置した。神はこの宮についてダビデとその子ソロモンに言われたことがある、「わたしはこの宮と、わたしがイスラエルのすべての部族のうちから選んだエルサレムとに、わたしの名を永遠に置く。
He put also the carued image, which he had made, in the house of God: whereof God had said to Dauid and to Salomon his sonne, In this house and in Ierusalem, which I haue chosen before all the tribes of Israel, will I put my Name for euer,
8 彼らがもし、わたしがすべて命じた事、すなわち、モーセが伝えたすべての律法と定めとおきてとを慎んで行うならば、わたしがあなたがたの先祖のために定めた地から、重ねてイスラエルの足を移すことをしない」と。
Neither will I make the foote of Israel to remooue any more out of the lande which I haue appointed for your fathers, so that they take heede, and do all that I haue commanded them, according to the Lawe and statutes and iudgements by the hande of Moses.
9 マナセはこのようにユダとエルサレムの住民を迷わせ、主がイスラエルの人々の前に滅ぼされた国々の民にもまさって悪を行わせた。
So Manasseh made Iudah and the inhabitants of Ierusalem to erre, and to doe worse then the heathen, whome the Lord had destroyed before the children of Israel.
10 主はマナセおよびその民に告げられたが、彼らは心に留めなかった。
And the Lord spake to Manasseh and to his people, but they would not regarde.
11 それゆえ、主はアッスリヤの王の軍勢の諸将をこれに攻めこさせられたので、彼らはマナセをかぎで捕え、青銅のかせにつないで、バビロンに引いて行った。
Wherefore the Lord brought vpon them the captaines of the hoste of the King of Asshur, which tooke Manasseh and put him in fetters, and bound him in chaines, and caryed him to Babel.
12 彼は悩みにあうに及んで、その神、主に願い求め、その先祖の神の前に大いに身を低くして、
And when he was in tribulation, he prayed to the Lord his God, and humbled him selfe greatly before the God of his fathers,
13 神に祈ったので、神はその祈を受けいれ、その願いを聞き、彼をエルサレムに連れ帰って、再び国に臨ませられた。これによってマナセは主こそ、まことに神にいますことを知った。
And prayed vnto him: and God was entreated of him, and heard his prayer, and brought him againe to Ierusalem into his kingdome: then Manasseh knewe that the Lord was God.
14 この後、彼はダビデの町の外の石がきをギホンの西の方の谷のうちに築き、魚の門の入口にまで及ぼし、またオペルに石がきをめぐらして、非常に高くこれを築き上げ、ユダのすべての堅固な町に軍長を置き、
Nowe after this he built a wall without the citie of Dauid, on the Westside of Gihon in the valley, euen at the entrie of the fish gate, and compassed about Ophel, and raised it very hie, and put captaines of warre in all the strong cities of Iudah.
15 また主の宮から、異邦の神々および偶像を取り除き、主の宮の山とエルサレムに自分で築いたすべての祭壇を取り除いて、町の外に投げ捨て、
And he tooke away the strange gods and the image out of the house of the Lord, and all the altars that he had built in the mount of the house of the Lord, and in Ierusalem, and cast them out of the citie.
16 主の祭壇を築き直して、酬恩祭および感謝の犠牲を、その上にささげ、ユダに命じてイスラエルの神、主に仕えさせた。
Also he prepared the altar of the Lord, and sacrificed thereon peace offerings, and of thankes, and commanded Iudah to serue the Lord God of Israel.
17 しかし民は、なお高き所で犠牲をささげた。ただしその神、主にのみささげた。
Neuerthelesse the people did sacrifice stil in the hie places, but vnto the Lord their God.
18 マナセのそのほかの行為、その神にささげた祈、およびイスラエルの神、主の名をもって彼に告げた先見者たちの言葉は、イスラエルの列王の記録のうちにしるされている。
Concerning the rest of the actes of Manasseh, and his prayer vnto his God, and the words of the Seers, that spake to him in ye Name of the Lord God of Israel, beholde, they are written in the booke of the Kings of Israel.
19 またその祈と、祈の聞かれた事、そのもろもろの罪と、とが、その身を低くする前に高き所を築いて、アシラ像および刻んだ像を立てた場所などは、先見者の記録のうちにしるされている。
And his prayer and how God was intreated of him, and all his sinne, and his trespasse, and the places wherein he built hie places, and set groues and images (before he was humbled) behold, they are written in the booke of the Seers.
20 マナセはその先祖たちと共に眠ったので、その家に葬られた。その子アモンが彼に代って王となった。
So Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they buried him in his owne house: and Amon his sonne reigned in his stead.
21 アモンは王となった時二十二歳で、二年の間エルサレムで世を治めた。
Amon was two and twentie yeere olde, when he began to reigne, and reigned two yeere in Ierusalem.
22 彼はその父マナセのしたように主の前に悪を行った。すなわちアモンはその父マナセが造ったもろもろの刻んだ像に犠牲をささげて、これに仕え、
But he did euill in the sight of the Lord, as did Manasseh his father: for Amon sacrificed to all the images, which Manasseh his father had made, and serued them,
23 その父マナセが身を低くしたように主の前に身を低くしなかった。かえってこのアモンは、いよいよそのとがを増した。
And he humbled not him selfe before the Lord, as Manasseh his father had humbled himselfe: but this Amon trespassed more and more.
24 その家来たちは党を結んで彼にそむき、彼をその家で殺した。
And his seruants conspired against him, and slewe him in his owne house.
25 しかし国の民は、党を結んでアモン王にそむいた者どもをことごとく撃ち殺した。そして国の民はその子ヨシヤを王となして、そのあとを継がせた。
But the people of the land slewe all them that had conspired against King Amon: and the people of the land made Iosiah his sonne King in his steade.
