1Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty and five years in Jerusalem:
1瑪拿西作猶大王（王下21:1~9）瑪拿西登基的時候，是十二歲；他在耶路撒冷作王共五十五年。
2But did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, like unto the abominations of the heathen, whom the LORD had cast out before the children of Israel.
2他行耶和華看為惡的事，隨從耶和華在以色列人面前趕走的列國所行可厭惡的事。
3For he built again the high places which Hezekiah his father had broken down, and he reared up altars for Baalim, and made groves, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served them.
3他重新建造他父親希西家拆毀的邱壇，又為巴力立壇，製造亞舍拉，並且敬拜和事奉天上的萬象。
4Also he built altars in the house of the LORD, whereof the LORD had said, In Jerusalem shall my name be for ever.
4他又在耶和華的殿中築壇，耶和華曾經指著這殿說：“我的名必永遠留在耶路撒冷。”
5And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the LORD.
5瑪拿西在耶和華殿的兩院中，為天上的萬象築壇，
6And he caused his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom: also he observed times, and used enchantments, and used witchcraft, and dealt with a familiar spirit, and with wizards: he wrought much evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.
6並且在欣嫩子谷把自己的兒女用火燒為祭，又占卜、行邪術、用法術、交鬼和通靈；作了很多耶和華看為惡的事，惹他發怒。
7And he set a carved image, the idol which he had made, 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 before all the tribes of Israel, will I put my name for ever:
7他又把他所做的雕像立在 神的殿中， 神曾經指著這殿，對大衛和他的兒子所羅門說：“我要在這殿裡，和在我從以色列各支派中揀選的耶路撒冷中，立我的名，直到永遠。
8Neither will I any more remove the foot of Israel from out of the land which I have appointed for your fathers; so that they will take heed to do all that I have commanded them, according to the whole law and the statutes and the ordinances by the hand of Moses.
8只要以色列人謹守遵行我藉著摩西吩咐他們的一切律法、律例和典章，我就決不再使他們的腳離開我賜給他們列祖的地。”
9So Manasseh made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to err, and to do worse than the heathen, whom the LORD had destroyed before the children of Israel.
9可是瑪拿西卻引誘猶大人和耶路撒冷的居民行惡，比耶和華在以色列人面前除滅的列國更厲害。
10And the LORD spake to Manasseh, and to his people: but they would not hearken.
10因悖逆而被擄耶和華曾警告瑪拿西和他的人民，他們卻不理會。
11Wherefore the LORD brought upon them the captains of the host of the king of Assyria, which took Manasseh among the thorns, and bound him with fetters, and carried him to Babylon.
11因此耶和華領亞述王的將帥來攻打他們，用鉤子鉤著瑪拿西，用銅鍊鎖住他，把他帶到巴比倫去。
12And when he was in affliction, he besought the LORD his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers,
12因悔改而回歸瑪拿西在急難的時候，就懇求耶和華他的 神，並且在他列祖的 神面前非常謙卑。
13And prayed unto him: and he was intreated of him, and heard his supplication, and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the LORD he was God.
13他向耶和華禱告，耶和華應允他的懇求，垂聽他的祈求，使他歸回耶路撒冷，恢復他的王位。瑪拿西這才知道只有耶和華是 神。
14Now after this he built a wall without the city of David, on the west side of Gihon, in the valley, even to the entering in at the fish gate, and compassed about Ophel, and raised it up a very great height, and put captains of war in all the fenced cities of Judah.
14此後，瑪拿西在大衛城外，從谷中的基訓西邊起直到魚門口，建了一道城牆，圍繞著俄斐勒，他把城牆建得很高；又在猶大各設防城裡，派駐軍長。
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除掉一切偶像又從耶和華的殿中除掉外族人的神和偶像，又把他在耶和華殿的山和在耶路撒冷所築的一切壇，都拋出城外。
16And he repaired the altar of the LORD, and sacrificed thereon peace offerings and thank offerings, and commanded Judah to serve the LORD God of Israel.
16瑪拿西重修了耶和華的祭壇，在壇上獻上平安祭和感恩祭，又吩咐猶大人事奉耶和華以色列的 神。
17Nevertheless the people did sacrifice still in the high places, yet unto the LORD their God only.
17可是人民仍然在邱壇上獻祭，儘管只向耶和華他們的 神獻祭。
18Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and his prayer unto his God, and the words of the seers that spake to him in the name of the LORD God of Israel, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel.
18瑪拿西逝世（王下21:17~18）瑪拿西其餘的事蹟，包括他對他的 神的禱告，和那些先見奉耶和華以色列的 神的名向他所說的話，都記在以色列諸王記上。
19His prayer also, and how God was intreated of him, and all his sins, and his trespass, and the places wherein he built high places, and set up groves and graven images, before he was humbled: behold, they are written among the sayings of the seers.
19他的禱告， 神怎樣應允他的懇求，他謙卑下來以前的一切罪惡和過犯，以及他在甚麼地方建築邱壇，設立亞舍拉和偶像，都記在何賽的言行錄上。
20So Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they buried him in his own house: and Amon his son reigned in his stead.
20瑪拿西和他的列祖同睡，埋葬在他的宮中；他的兒子亞們接續他作王。
21Amon was two and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned two years in Jerusalem.
21亞們作猶大王（王下21:19~26）亞們登基的時候，是二十二歲；他在耶路撒冷作王共兩年。
22But he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, as did Manasseh his father: for Amon sacrificed unto all the carved images which Manasseh his father had made, and served them;
22他行耶和華看為惡的事，像他父親瑪拿西所行的一樣；亞們向他父親瑪拿西所做的一切雕像獻祭，並且事奉它們。
23And humbled not himself before the LORD, as Manasseh his father had humbled himself; but Amon trespassed more and more.
23他沒有在耶和華面前謙卑，像他父親瑪拿西謙卑一樣；這亞們所犯的罪過越來越多。
24And his servants conspired against him, and slew him in his own house.
24後來，他的臣僕陰謀造反，在宮中把他殺死了。
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但猶大的人民把所有反叛亞們王的人都擊殺了，並且立他的兒子約西亞接續他作王。
