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。
1Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem.
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。
2He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, after the abominations of the nations whom the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.
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。
3For he built again the high places which Hezekiah his father had broken down; and he raised up altars for the Baals, made Asheroth, and worshiped all the army of the sky, and served them.
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。
4He built altars in the LORD’s house, of which the LORD said, “My name shall be in Jerusalem forever.”
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。
5He built altars for all the army of the sky in the two courts of the LORD’s house.
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。
6He also made his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom. He practiced sorcery, divination, and witchcraft, and dealt with those who had familiar spirits and with wizards. He did much evil in the LORD’s sight, to provoke him to anger.
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。
7He set the engraved image of the idol, which he had made, in God’s house, of which God 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, I will put my name forever.
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。」
8I will not any more remove the foot of Israel from off the land which I have appointed for your fathers, if only they will observe to do all that I have commanded them, even all the law, the statutes, and the ordinances given by Moses.”
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。
9Manasseh seduced Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that they did more evil than did the nations whom the LORD destroyed before the children of Israel.
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。
10The LORD spoke to Manasseh and to his people, but they didn’t listen.
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。
11Therefore the LORD brought on them the captains of the army of the king of Assyria, who took Manasseh in chains, bound him with fetters, and carried him to Babylon.
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。
12When he was in distress, he begged the LORD his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers.
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。
13He prayed to him; and he was entreated by him, and heard his supplication, and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the LORD was God.
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。
14Now after this, he built an outer wall to David’s city on the west side of Gihon, in the valley, even to the entrance at the fish gate. He encircled Ophel with it, and raised it up to a very great height; and he put valiant captains in all the fortified cities of Judah.
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。
15He took away the foreign gods and the idol out of the LORD’s house, and all the altars that he had built in the mountain of the LORD’s house and in Jerusalem, and cast them out of the city.
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。
16He built up the LORD’s altar, and offered sacrifices of peace offerings and of thanksgiving on it, and commanded Judah to serve the LORD, the God of Israel.
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。
17Nevertheless the people still sacrificed in the high places, but only to the LORD their God.
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。
18Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and his prayer to his God, and the words of the seers who spoke to him in the name of the LORD, the God of Israel, behold, they are written among the acts of the kings of Israel.
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。
19His prayer also, and how God listened to his request, and all his sin and his trespass, and the places in which he built high places and set up the Asherah poles and the engraved images before he humbled himself: behold, they are written in the history of Hozai.
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。
20So Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they buried him in his own house; and Amon his son reigned in his place.
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。
21Amon was twenty-two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned two years in Jerusalem.
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。
22He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, as did Manasseh his father; and Amon sacrificed to all the engraved images which Manasseh his father had made, and served them.
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。
23He didn’t humble himself before the LORD, as Manasseh his father had humbled himself; but this same Amon trespassed more and more.
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。
24His servants conspired against him, and put him to death in his own house.
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。
25But the people of the land killed all those who had conspired against King Amon; and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his place.
