2 Kings 21
1 Twelve years old, was Manasseh when he began to reign, and, fifty-five years, reigned he in Jerusalem, —and the name of his mother was Hephzibah.
默納舍登極時才十二歲，在耶咯撒冷做王五十五年，他的母親名叫赫斐漆巴。
2 And he did the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, —after the abominable practices of the nations, whom Yahweh had dispossessed from before the sons of Israel.
他行了上主視為惡的事，仿效上主從以色列子民前所驅逐的異民所行的可恥之事，
3 He again built the high places, which Hezekiah his father had destroyed, —and reared altars to Baal, and made a Sacred Stem, as did Ahab, king of Israel, and bowed down to all the army of the heavens, and served them.
重建了他父親希則克雅所拆毀的高丘，為巴耳建立了祭壇，製造了木偶，像以色列王阿哈布所作的一樣，且崇拜敬奉天上的萬象，
4 And he used to build altars in the house of Yahweh, —concerning which Yahweh had said, —In Jerusalem, will I put my Name.
雖然上主曾指著聖殿說過：「我要將我的名建立在耶路撒冷。」但他仍在上主的殿內建立了一些祭壇，
5 And he built altars to all the army of the heavens, —in the two courts of the house of Yahweh;
又在上主殿宇的兩庭院內，為天上萬像建立了祭壇；
6 and caused his son to pass through the fire, and practised hidden arts and used divination, and dealt with a familiar spirit and wizards, —he exceeded in doing the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, provoking [him] to anger;
使自己的兒子經火獻神，行占卜邪術，立招魂師和術士，不斷行上主視為惡的事，惹上主發怒。
7 and he set the image of the Sacred Stem which he had made, —in the house, of which Yahweh had said unto David, and unto Solomon his son, In this house, and in Jerusalem which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, will I put my Name, unto times age-abiding;
他又將自己製造的阿舍辣雕像，安放在上主的殿內，雖然上主論及這殿曾對達味的兒子撒羅滿說：「我要在這殿內，和我在以色列各支派所選出的耶路撒冷立我的名，直到永遠；
8 and I will not again let the foot of Israel wander away from the soil which I gave unto their fathers. Only if they take heed to do according to all that I have commanded them, even to the extent of all the law which, my servant Moses, commanded them.
只要以色列謹守遵行我所吩咐他們的一切，及我僕人梅瑟所吩咐他們的一切法律，我決不再使以色列人的腳，離開我賜與他們祖先的土地。」
9 But they hearkened not, —and Manasseh led them astray to do the thing that was wicked, more than the nations which Yahweh destroyed from before the sons of Israel.
但是，他們卻不聽從，甚至默納舍誘惑他們行惡，甚於上主由以色列子民前所消滅的那些民族。
10 Yahweh therefore spake through his servants the prophets saying—
為此，上主藉他的僕人先知警告說：「
11 Because Manasseh king of Judah hath made these abominations—hath done that which is wicked, more than all which the Amorites did who were before him, and hath caused, even Judah, to sin with his manufactured gods,
因為猶太王默納舍行了這些可恥的事，甚於他以前的阿摩黎人所行的，以自己的神像引猶太犯罪。
12 therefore—Thus, saith Yahweh, God of Israel, Behold me! bringing in calamity upon Jerusalem and Judah, —that, whosoever heareth thereof, both his ears, will tingle;
所以上主以色列的天主這樣說：看，我要使這樣的災禍降在耶路撒冷和猶太，使聽見的人兩耳都要齊鳴。
13 And I will stretch over Jerusalem, the line of Samaria, and the plummet of the house of Ahab, —and will wipe out Jerusalem, as one wipeth out a dish, wiping it and turning it upside down;
我要用測量撒瑪黎雅的繩索，和測量阿哈布家的鉛錘，來測量耶路撒冷，要擦淨耶路撒冷如同人擦淨盤子一樣，擦淨之後，就翻過來；
14 And will abandon the remnant of mine inheritance, and deliver them into the hand of their enemies, —and they shall become a prey and a plunder, to all their enemies:
我要拋棄作我產業的遺民，將他們交於敵人手中，使他們成為一切敵人的掠物與勝利品。
15 Because they have done the thing that is wicked in mine eyes, and have become such as to provoke me to anger, —from the day when their fathers came forth out of Egypt, even until this day.
因為他們自從他們的祖先出離埃及那一天，直到今日，行了我視為惡的事，使我發怒。」
16 Moreover also, innocent blood, did Manasseh shed in great abundance, till he had filled Jerusalem, from one end to the other, besides his committing the sins which he caused, Judah, to commit, in doing the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh.
默納舍除了使猶大陷於罪惡，行了上主視為惡的事以外，還流了許多無辜者的血，使耶路撒冷流成河，從這邊流到那邊。
17 Now, the rest of the story of Manasseh, and all that he did, and his sin that he committed, are, they, not written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
默納舍其餘的事蹟，他行的一切，所犯的罪惡，都記載在猶大列王實錄上。
18 And Manasseh slept with his fathers, and was buried in the garden of his own house, in the garden of Uzza, —and, Amon his son, reigned, in his stead.
默納舍與他的列祖同眠，埋葬在王宮花園，即烏匝花園裏；他的兒子阿孟繼位為王。
19 Twenty-two years old, was Amon when he began to reign, and, two years, reigned he in Jerusalem, —and, his mother’s name, was Meshullemeth daughter of Haruz, of Jotbah.
阿孟登極時，年二十二歲，在耶路撒冷作王兩年；他的母親名叫默叔肋默，是約特巴人哈魯茲的女兒。
20 And he did the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, —as did Manasseh his father;
他行了上主認為視為惡的事。全像他父親所行的一樣；
21 yea he walked in all the way wherein, his father, had walked, —and served the manufactured gods that, his father, had served, and bowed down to them;
走了他父親所走的的路，事奉敬拜了他父親所事奉的偶像，
22 and forsook Yahweh the God of his fathers, —and walked not in the way of Yahweh.
離棄了上主他祖先的天主，未隨上主的道路。
23 And the servants of Amon, conspired against him, —and slew the king in his own house.
阿孟臣僕共謀造反，在宮內將君王殺了；
24 Then the people of the land smote all who had conspired against King Amon, —and the people of the land made, Josiah his son, king, in his stead.
但地方的人民起來，殺了所有反叛阿孟王的人，立了他的兒子約史雅繼位為王。
25 Now, the rest of the story of Amon, what he did, is, it, not written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
阿孟所作的其它事蹟，都記載在猶大列王實錄上。
26 And he was buried in his grave, in the garden of Uzza, —and, Josiah his son, reigned, in his stead.
他也葬在烏匝花園內自己的墳墓裏；他的兒子約史雅繼位為王。
