1Manasses was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem.
1マナセは十二歳で王となり、エルサレムで五十五年間治めた。
2And he did evil before the Lord, according to all the abominations of the nations, which the Lord cast out before the children of Israel:
2彼は、主がイスラエルの子らの前から追い出された国々の忌まわしい行いに従って、主の目に悪を行った。
3And he turned, and built again the high places which Ezechias his father had destroyed: and he built altars to Baalim, and made groves, and he adored all the host of heaven, and worshipped them.
3彼は父ヒゼキヤが壊した高き所を再び築き、バアルのための祭壇を築き、アシェラ像を造り、天の全軍勢を拝み、これらに仕えた。
4He built also altars in the house of the Lord, whereof the Lord had said: In Jerusalem shall my name be for ever.
4また、主の家に祭壇を築いた。そこについて主は、「エルサレムにわたしの名がとこしえにあるようにする」と言われていた。
5And he built them for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the Lord.
5彼は主の家の二つの庭に、天の全軍勢のための祭壇を築いた。
6And he made his sons to pass through the fire in the valley of Benennom: he observed dreams, followed divinations, gave himself up to magic arts, had with him magicians, and enchanters: and he wrought many evils before the Lord, to provoke him to anger.
6彼はまた、ベン・ヒノムの谷で自分の子どもたちを火の中を通らせ、魔法を使い、まじないをし、呪術を用い、霊媒や口寄せと関わった。彼は主の目に悪とされることを多く行い、主を怒らせた。
7He set also a graven, and a molten statue in the house of God, of which God had 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 put my name for ever.
7彼は自分が造った偶像を神の家に置いた。そこについて、神はダビデとその子ソロモンに言われていた。「わたしがイスラエルのすべての部族の中から選んだこの家とエルサレムに、わたしの名をとこしえに置く。
8And I will not make the foot of Israel to be removed out of the land which I have delivered to their fathers: yet so if they will take heed to do what I hare commanded them, and all the law, and the ceremonies, and judgments by the hand of Moses.
8もし彼らが、モーセの手を通して伝えられたすべての律法と掟と法に従って、わたしが彼らに命じたすべてのことを注意深く行うなら、わたしは二度と、彼らの父祖たちに定めたその地からイスラエルの足をその地から移すことはない。」
9So Manasses seduced Juda, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, to do evil beyond all the nations, which the Lord had destroyed before the face of the children of Israel.
9マナセはユダとエルサレムの住民を迷わせ、主がイスラエルの子らの前から滅ぼされた国々よりもさらに悪いことを行わせた。
10And the Lord spoke to him, and to his people, and they would not hearken.
10主はマナセとその民に語りかけられたが、彼らは耳を傾けなかった。
11Therefore he brought upon them the captains of the army of the king of the Assyrians: and they took Manasses, and carried him bound with chains and fetters to Babylon.
11それゆえ、主はアッシリアの王の軍隊の長たちを彼らに差し向けられた。彼らはマナセを鎖で捕らえ、青銅の足枷で縛ってバビロンへ連れて行った。
12And after that he was in distress he prayed to the Lord his God: and did penance exceedingly before the God of his fathers.
12苦しみの中で、彼は自分の神、主に願い求め、その父祖たちの神の御前で大いにへりくだった。
13And he entreated him, and besought him earnestly: and he heard his prayer, and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom, and Manasses knew that the Lord was God.
13彼が神に祈ったとき、神はその願いと祈りを聞き入れ、彼をエルサレムの彼の王国に帰らせた。そのとき、マナセは主こそが神であることを知った。
14After this he built a wall without the city of David, on the west side of Gihon in the valley, from the entering in of the fish gate round about to Ophel, and raised it up to a great height: and he appointed captains of the army in all the fenced cities of Juda:
14この後、彼はダビデの町の外側に城壁を築いた。それはギホンの西、谷にあり、魚の門の入り口まで続いており、オフェルの周囲を巡って、それを非常に高くそびえさせた。また、彼はユダのすべての防備の町々に勇士の長たちを置いた。
15And he took away the strange gods, and the idol out of the house of the Lord: the altars also which he had made in the mount of the house of the Lord, and in Jerusalem, and he cast them all out of the city.
15彼は主の家から異国の神々や偶像を取り除き、また主の家の山やエルサレムに築いたすべての祭壇を取り除いて、それらを町の外に投げ捨てた。
16And he repaired the altar of the Lord, and sacrificed upon it victims, and peace offerings, and praise: and he commanded Juda to serve the Lord the God of Israel.
16彼は主の祭壇を元通りにし、その上で和解のいけにえと感謝のいけにえをささげ、ユダに命じてイスラエルの神、主に仕えさせた。
17Nevertheless the people still sacrificed in the high places to the Lord their God.
17それでも、民はなお高き所でいけにえをささげたが、それは彼らの神、主に対してだけであった。
18But the rest of the acts of Manasses, and his prayer to his God, and the words of the seers that spoke to him in the name of the Lord the God of Israel, are contained in the words of the kings of Israel.
18マナセのその他の事績、彼の神への祈り、またイスラエルの神、主の御名によって彼に語りかけた先見者たちの言葉は、見よ、イスラエルの王たちの歴史に記されている。
19His prayer also, and his being heard, and all his sins, and contempt, and places wherein he built high places, and set up groves, and statues before he did penance, are written in the words of Hozai.
19彼の祈り、神がどのようにその願いを聞き入れられたか、彼のすべての罪と背信、そして彼がへりくだる前に高き所を築き、アシェラ像や刻んだ像を立てた場所については、見よ、ホザイ の歴史に記されている。
20And Manasses slept with his fathers. and they buried him in his house: and his son Amen reigned in his stead.
20マナセはその父祖たちとともに眠り、人々は彼を彼の家で葬った。その子アモンが代わって王となった。
21Amen was two and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem.
21アモンは二十二歳で王となり、エルサレムで二年間治めた。
22And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, as Manasses his father had done: and he sacrificed to all the idols which Manasses his father had made, and served them.
22彼は、その父マナセが行ったように、主の目に悪を行った。アモンは父マナセが造ったすべての刻んだ像にいけにえをささげ、これらに仕えた。
23And he did not humble himself before the Lord, as Manasses his father had humbled himself, but committed far greater sins.
23彼はその父マナセがへりくだったようには主の御前でへりくだらず、アモンはますます罪を重ねた。
24And his servants conspired against him, and slew him in his own house.
24彼のしもべたちは彼に対して陰謀を企て、彼自身の家の中で彼を殺した。
25But the rest of the multitude of the people slew them that had killed Amen, and made Josias his son king in his stead.
25しかし、その地の民はアモン王に対して陰謀を企てた者たちをすべて打ち殺し、その地の民はその子ヨシヤを彼に代わって王とした。
