Kings IV 21
1 Manasses [was] twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name [was] Apsiba.
瑪拿西登基的時候年十二歲，在耶路撒冷作王五十五年。他母親名叫協西巴。
2 And he did that which was evil in the eyes of the Lord, according to the abominations of the nations which the Lord cast out from before the children of Israel.
瑪拿西行耶和華眼中看為惡的事，效法耶和華在以色列人面前趕出的外邦人所行可憎的事。
3 And he built again the high places, which Ezekias his father [had] demolished; and set up an altar to Baal, and made groves as Achaab king of Israel [made them]; and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served them.
重新建築他父希西家所毀壞的邱壇，又為巴力築壇，做亞舍拉像，效法以色列王亞哈所行的，且敬拜事奉天上的萬象；
4 And he built an altar in the house of the Lord, whereas he had said, In Jerusalem I will place my name.
在耶和華殿宇中築壇。耶和華曾指着這殿說：「我必立我的名在耶路撒冷。」
5 And he built an altar to all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the Lord.
他在耶和華殿的兩院中為天上的萬象築壇，
6 And he caused his sons to pass through the fire, and used divination and auspices, and made groves, and multiplied wizards, so as to do that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, to provoke him to anger.
並使他的兒子經火，又觀兆，用法術，立交鬼的和行巫術的，多行耶和華眼中看為惡的事，惹動他的怒氣；
7 And he set up the graven image of the grove in the house of which the Lord said to David, and to Solomon his son, In this house, and in Jerusalem which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, will I even place my name for ever.
又在殿內立雕刻的亞舍拉像。耶和華曾對大衛和他兒子所羅門說：「我在以色列眾支派中所選擇的耶路撒冷和這殿，必立我的名，直到永遠。
8 And I will not again remove the foot of Israel from the land which I gave to their fathers, [even of those] who shall keep all that I commanded, according to all the commandments which my servant Moses commanded them.
以色列人若謹守遵行我一切所吩咐他們的和我僕人摩西所吩咐他們的一切律法，我就不再使他們挪移離開我所賜給他們列祖之地。」
9 But they listened not; and Manasses led them astray to do evil in the sight of the Lord, beyond the nations whom the Lord utterly destroyed from before the children of Israel.
他們卻不聽從。瑪拿西引誘他們行惡，比耶和華在以色列人面前所滅的列國更甚。
10 And the Lord spoke by his servants the prophets, saying,
耶和華藉他僕人眾先知說：
11 Forasmuch as Manasses the king of Juda has wrought all these evil abominations, beyond all that the Amorite did, who lived before [him], and has led Juda also into sin by their idols,
「因猶大王瑪拿西行這些可憎的惡事比先前亞摩利人所行的更甚，使猶大人拜他的偶像，陷在罪裏；
12 [it shall] not [be] so. Thus says the Lord God of Israel, Behold, I bring calamities upon Jerusalem and Juda, so that both the ears of every one that hears shall tingle.
所以耶和華－以色列的上帝如此說：我必降禍與耶路撒冷和猶大，叫一切聽見的人無不耳鳴。
13 And I will stretch out over Jerusalem the measure of Samaria, and the plummet of the house of Achaab: and I will wipe Jerusalem as a jar is wiped, and turned upside down in the wiping.
我必用量撒馬利亞的準繩和亞哈家的線鉈拉在耶路撒冷上，必擦淨耶路撒冷，如人擦盤，將盤倒扣。
14 And I will reject the remnant of my inheritance, and will deliver them into the hands of their enemies; and they shall be for a plunder and for a spoil to all their enemies:
我必棄掉所餘剩的子民，把他們交在仇敵手中，使他們成為一切仇敵擄掠之物；
15 forasmuch as they have done wickedly in my sight, and have provoked me from the day that I brought out their fathers out of Egypt, even until this day.
是因他們自從列祖出埃及直到如今，常行我眼中看為惡的事，惹動我的怒氣。」
16 Moreover Manasses shed very much innocent blood, until he filled Jerusalem [with it] from one end to the other, beside his sins with which he caused Juda to sin, in doing evil in the eyes of the Lord.
瑪拿西行耶和華眼中看為惡的事，使猶大人陷在罪裏，又流許多無辜人的血，充滿了耶路撒冷，從這邊直到那邊。
17 And the rest of the acts of Manasses, and all that he did, and his sin which he sinned, [are] not these things written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda?
瑪拿西其餘的事，凡他所行的和他所犯的罪都寫在猶大列王記上。
18 And Manasses slept with his fathers, and was buried in the garden of his house, [even] in the garden of Oza: and Amos his son reigned in his stead.
瑪拿西與他列祖同睡，葬在自己宮院烏撒的園內；他兒子亞們接續他作王。
19 Twenty and two years old [was] Amos when he began to reign, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name [was] Mesollam, daughter of Arus of Jeteba.
亞們登基的時候年二十二歲，在耶路撒冷作王二年。他母親名叫米舒利密，是約提巴人哈魯斯的女兒。
20 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, as Manasses his father did.
亞們行耶和華眼中看為惡的事，與他父親瑪拿西所行的一樣；
21 And he walked in all the way in which his father walked, and served the idols which his father served, and worshipped them.
行他父親一切所行的，敬奉他父親所敬奉的偶像，
22 And he forsook the Lord God of his fathers, and walked not in the way of the Lord.
離棄耶和華－他列祖的上帝，不遵行耶和華的道。
23 And the servants of Amos conspired against him, and killed the king in his house.
亞們王的臣僕背叛他，在宮裏殺了他。
24 And the people of the land killed all that had conspired against king Amos; and the people of the land made Josias king in his room.
但國民殺了那些背叛亞們王的人，立他兒子約西亞接續他作王。
25 And the rest of the acts of Amos, [even] all that he did, behold, [are] not these written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda?
亞們其餘所行的事都寫在猶大列王記上。
26 And they buried him in his tomb in the garden of Oza: and Josias his son reigned in his stead.
亞們葬在烏撒的園內自己的墳墓裏。他兒子約西亞接續他作王。
