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 twelve years old when he began to reign, and reigned fifty and five years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Hephzibah.

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 that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, after the abominations of the heathen, whom the LORD 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 built up again the high places which Hezekiah his father had destroyed; and he reared up altars for Baal, and made a grove, as did Ahab king of Israel; and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served 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

And he built altars in the house of the LORD, of which the LORD said, In Jerusalem 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 all the host of heaven in the two courts 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 made his son pass through the fire, and observed times, and used enchantments, and dealt with familiar spirits and wizards: he wrought much wickedness in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.

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 a graven image of the grove that he had made 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 tribes of Israel, will I put my name for ever:

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 feet of Israel move any more out of the land which I gave their fathers; only if they will observe to do according to all that I have commanded them, and according to all the law that my servant 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

But they hearkened not: and Manasseh seduced them to do more evil than did the nations 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

And the LORD spoke by his servants 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 Manasseh king of Judah has done these abominations, and has done wickedly above all that the Amorites did, which were before him, and has made Judah also to sin with his idols:

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 says the LORD God of Israel, Behold, I am bringing such evil upon Jerusalem and Judah, that whosoever hears of it, both his ears 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 over Jerusalem the line of Samaria, and the plummet of the house of Ahab: and I will wipe Jerusalem as a man wipes a dish, wiping it, and turning it upside down.

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 deliver them into the hand of their enemies; and they shall become a prey and a spoil to all their enemies;

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 have done that which was evil in my sight, and have provoked me to anger, since the day their fathers came forth out of Egypt, even unto 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

Moreover Manasseh shed innocent blood very much, till he had filled Jerusalem from one end to another; beside his sin wherewith he made Judah to sin, in doing that which was evil 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

Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and all that he did, and his sin that he sinned, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

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, in the garden of Uzza: and Amon his son reigned in his position.

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 twenty and two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Meshullemeth, the daughter of Haruz of Jotbah.

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 that which was evil 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

And he walked in all the way that his father walked in, and served the idols that his father served, 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 forsook 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 servants of Amon conspired against him, and slew the king in his own 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 slew all them that had conspired against king Amon; and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his position.

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

Now the rest of the acts of Amon which he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

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 he was buried in his tomb in the garden of Uzza: and Josiah his son reigned in his position.
