1マナセが王となったときは十二歳で、エルサレムで五十五年間治めた。彼の母の名はヘフジバといった。
1Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Hephzibah.
2彼は、主がイスラエルの子らの前から追い払われた国々の忌むべきことの通りに、主の目に悪とされることを行った。
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彼は父ヒゼキヤが打ち壊した高き所を再び建て、アハブがイスラエルの王として行ったように、バアルのために祭壇を築き、アシェラ像を造り、天のすべての軍勢を拝み、これらに仕えた。
3For he built again the high places which Hezekiah his father had destroyed; and he raised up altars for Baal, and made an Asherah, as Ahab king of Israel did, and worshiped all the army of the sky, and served them.
4彼は、主が「エルサレムにわたしの名を置く」と言われた主の家に祭壇を築いた。
4He built altars in the LORD’s house, of which the LORD said, “I will put my name in Jerusalem.”
5彼は主の家の二つの庭に、天のすべての軍勢のために祭壇を築いた。
5He built altars for all the army of the sky in the two courts of the LORD’s house.
6彼は自分の息子を火の中を通らせ、まじないと占いを行い、霊媒や口寄せに伺いを立てた。主の目に悪とされることを重ね、主を怒らせた。
6He made his son to pass through the fire, practiced sorcery, used enchantments, 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彼は自分が造ったアシェラの刻まれた像を家に置いた。この家については、主がダビデとその息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 Asherah 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 the tribes of Israel, I will put my name forever;
8もし彼らが、わたしが彼らに命じたすべてのこと、およびわたしのしもべモーセが彼らに命じたすべての律法に従って注意深く行うなら、わたしはイスラエルの足を、わたしが彼らの先祖に与えた地から二度とさまよい出させることはしない。」
8I will not cause the feet of Israel to wander any more out of the land which I gave their fathers, if only 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しかし彼らは聞き入れなかった。マナセは彼らを惑わし、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多くの悪を行わせた。
9But they didn’t listen, and Manasseh seduced them to do that which is evil more than the nations did whom the LORD destroyed before the children of Israel.
10主はそのしもべである預言者たちを通して語られた。
10The LORD spoke by his servants the prophets, saying,
11「ユダの王マナセがこれらの忌むべきことを行い、彼より前にいたアモリ人が行ったすべてのことよりも悪を行い、彼が造った偶像によってユダにも罪を犯させたので、
11“Because Manasseh king of Judah has done these abominations, and has done wickedly above all that the Amorites did, who were before him, and has also made Judah to sin with his idols;
12それゆえ、イスラエルの神、主はこう言われる。『見よ、わたしはエルサレムとユダにわざわいをもたらす。それを聞く者は皆、両耳が鳴るであろう。
12therefore the LORD the God of Israel says, ‘Behold, I will bring such evil on Jerusalem and Judah that whoever hears of it, both his ears will tingle.
13わたしはエルサレムの上に、サマリアの測り縄とアハブの家の下げ振りを伸ばす。人が皿をぬぐい、ぬぐってそれを伏せるように、わたしはエルサレムをぬぐい去る。
13I will stretch over Jerusalem the line of Samaria, and the plumb line of Ahab’s house; and I will wipe Jerusalem as a man wipes a dish, wiping it and turning it upside down.
14わたしは、わたしの所有の民の残りを捨て、敵の手に渡す。彼らはすべての敵のえじきとなり、略奪される。
14I will cast off the remnant of my inheritance and deliver them into the hands of their enemies. They will become a prey and a plunder to all their enemies,
15彼らがわたしの目に悪とされることを行い、先祖がエジプトから出た日から今日まで、わたしを怒らせ続けてきたからである。』」
15because they have done that which is evil in my sight, and have provoked me to anger since the day their fathers came out of Egypt, even to this day.’”
16マナセは、ユダに罪を犯させて主の目に悪を行ったばかりでなく、罪のない者の血をおびただしく流し、エルサレムを端から端まで血で満たした。
16Moreover Manasseh shed innocent blood very much, until he had filled Jerusalem from one end to another; in addition to his sin with which he made Judah to sin, in doing that which was evil in the LORD’s sight.
17マナセのその他の事績、彼が行ったすべてのこと、彼が犯した罪は、ユダの王たちの年代記の書に記されているではないか。
17Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and all that he did, and his sin that he sinned, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
18マナセは先祖とともに眠りにつき、彼自身の家の園、すなわちウザの園に葬られた。そしてその息子アモンが代わって王となった。
18Manasseh 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 place.
19アモンが王となったときは二十二歳で、エルサレムで二年間治めた。彼の母の名はメシュレメテといい、ヨトバのハルツの娘であった。
19Amon was twenty-two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned two years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Meshullemeth the daughter of Haruz of Jotbah.
20彼は父マナセが行ったように、主の目に悪とされることを行った。
20He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, as Manasseh his father did.
21彼は父が歩んだすべての道を歩み、父が仕えた偶像に仕え、これらを拝んだ。
21He walked in all the ways that his father walked in, and served the idols that his father served, and worshiped them;
22彼は彼の先祖の神、主を捨て、主の道を歩まなかった。
22and he abandoned the LORD, the God of his fathers, and didn’t walk in the way of the LORD.
23アモンのしもべたちは彼に対して陰謀を企て、王を彼自身の家で殺した。
23The servants of Amon conspired against him, and put the king to death in his own house.
24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、その地の民はその息子ヨシヤを彼の代わりに王とした。
24But 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.
25アモンが行ったその他の事績は、ユダの王たちの年代記の書に記されているではないか。
25Now the rest of the acts of Amon which he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
26彼はウザの園にある彼自身の墓に葬られた。そしてその息子ヨシヤが代わって王となった。
26He was buried in his tomb in the garden of Uzza, and Josiah his son reigned in his place.
