1Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign; and he reigned fifty and 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 that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, after the abominations of the nations, whom 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。
3For he built again the high places which Hezekiah his father had broken down; and he reared up altars for the Baalim, and made Asheroth, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served 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。
4And he built altars in the house of the LORD, whereof the LORD 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 altars 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。
6He also made his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom; and he practised soothsaying, and used enchantments, and practised sorcery, and appointed them that divined by a ghost or a familiar spirit; he wrought much evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke Him.
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。
7And he set the graven image of the idol, which he had made, in the house of God, 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, 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。
8neither will I 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 and the statutes and the ordinances 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。」
9And Manasseh made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to err, so that they did evil more than did the nations, whom the LORD destroyed before 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 Manasseh, and to his people; but they gave no heed.
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。
11Wherefore the LORD brought upon them the captains of the host of the king of Assyria, who took Manasseh with hooks, and bound him with fetters, and carried him 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 when he was in distress, he besought the LORD his God, and humbled himself greatly 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 prayed unto Him; and He was entreated of him, and heard his supplication, and brought him back to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the LORD He 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。
14Now after this he built an outer wall to the city of David, on the west side of Gihon, in the valley, even to the entrance at the fish gate; and he compassed about Ophel, and raised it up a very great height; and he put captains of the army in all the fortified cities of Judah.
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, and all the altars that he had built in the mount of the house of the LORD, and in Jerusalem, and cast them 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 built up the altar of the LORD, and offered thereon sacrifices of peace-offerings and of thanksgiving, and commanded Judah 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 did sacrifice still in the high places, but only unto 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。
18Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and his prayer unto his God, and the words of the seers that 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.
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 how God was entreated of him, and all his sin and his transgression, and the places wherein he built high places, and set up the Asherim and the graven images, before he humbled himself; behold, they are written in the history of the seers.
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。
20So Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they buried him in his own house; and Amon his son 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。
21Amon was twenty and two 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 that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, as did Manasseh his father; and Amon sacrificed unto all the graven images which Manasseh 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 humbled not himself before the LORD, as Manasseh his father had humbled himself; but this same Amon became guilty more and more.
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 put him to death 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 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 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。
