1Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign; and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem.
1玛拿西作犹大王（王下21:1-9）
2He did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, after the abominations of the nations whom Yahweh cast out before the children of Israel.
2他行耶和华看为恶的事，随从耶和华在以色列人面前赶走的列国所行可厌恶的事。
3For he built again the high places which Hezekiah his father had broken down; and he reared up altars for the Baals, and made Asheroth, and worshiped all the army of the sky, and served them.
3他重新建造他父亲希西家拆毁的邱坛，又为巴力立坛，制造亚舍拉，并且敬拜和事奉天上的万象。
4He built altars in the house of Yahweh, of which Yahweh said, “My name shall be in Jerusalem forever.”
4他又在耶和华的殿中筑坛，耶和华曾经指着这殿说：“我的名必永远留在耶路撒冷。”
5He built altars for all the army of the sky in the two courts of the house of Yahweh.
5玛拿西在耶和华殿的两院中，为天上的万象筑坛，
6He also made his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom; and he practiced sorcery, and used enchantments, and practiced sorcery, and dealt with those who had familiar spirits, and with wizards: he worked much evil in the sight of Yahweh, to provoke him to anger.
6并且在欣嫩子谷把自己的儿女用火烧为祭，又占卜、行邪术、用法术、交鬼和通灵；作了很多耶和华看为恶的事，惹他发怒。
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, will I put my name forever:
7他又把他所做的雕像立在 神的殿中， 神曾经指着这殿，对大卫和他的儿子所罗门说：“我要在这殿里，和在我从以色列各支派中拣选的耶路撒冷中，立我的名，直到永远。
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 given by Moses.”
8只要以色列人谨守遵行我借着摩西吩咐他们的一切律法、律例和典章，我就决不再使他们的脚离开我赐给他们列祖的地。”
9Manasseh seduced Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that they did more evil than the nations whom Yahweh destroyed before the children of Israel did.
9可是玛拿西却引诱犹大人和耶路撒冷的居民行恶，比耶和华在以色列人面前除灭的列国更厉害。
10Yahweh spoke to Manasseh, and to his people; but they gave no heed.
10因悖逆而被掳耶和华曾警告玛拿西和他的人民，他们却不理会。
11Therefore Yahweh brought on them the captains of the army of the king of Assyria, who took Manasseh in chains, and bound him with fetters, and carried him to Babylon.
11因此耶和华领亚述王的将帅来攻打他们，用钩子钩着玛拿西，用铜链锁住他，把他带到巴比伦去。
12When he was in distress, he begged Yahweh his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers.
12因悔改而回归玛拿西在急难的时候，就恳求耶和华他的 神，并且在他列祖的 神面前非常谦卑。
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 Yahweh was God.
13他向耶和华祷告，耶和华应允他的恳求，垂听他的祈求，使他归回耶路撒冷，恢复他的王位。玛拿西这才知道只有耶和华是 神。
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 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.
14此后，玛拿西在大卫城外，从谷中的基训西边起直到鱼门口，建了一道城墙，围绕着俄斐勒，他把城墙建得很高；又在犹大各设防城里，派驻军长。
15He took away the foreign gods, and the idol out of the house of Yahweh, and all the altars that he had built in the mountain of the house of Yahweh, and in Jerusalem, and cast them out of the city.
15除掉一切偶像又从耶和华的殿中除掉外族人的神和偶像，又把他在耶和华殿的山和在耶路撒冷所筑的一切坛，都拋出城外。
16He built up the altar of Yahweh, and offered thereon sacrifices of peace offerings and of thanksgiving, and commanded Judah to serve Yahweh, the God of Israel.
16玛拿西重修了耶和华的祭坛，在坛上献上平安祭和感恩祭，又吩咐犹大人事奉耶和华以色列的 神。
17Nevertheless the people sacrificed still in the high places, but only to Yahweh their God.
17可是人民仍然在邱坛上献祭，尽管只向耶和华他们的 神献祭。
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 Yahweh, the God of Israel, behold, they are written among the acts of the kings of Israel.
18玛拿西逝世（王下21:17-18）玛拿西其余的事迹，包括他对他的 神的祷告，和那些先见奉耶和华以色列的 神的名向他所说的话，都记在以色列诸王记上。
19His prayer also, and how God was entreated of him, and all his sin and his trespass, and the places in which he built high places, and set up the Asherim and the engraved images, before he humbled himself: behold, they are written in the history of Hozai.
19他的祷告， 神怎样应允他的恳求，他谦卑下来以前的一切罪恶和过犯，以及他在什么地方建筑邱坛，设立亚舍拉和偶像，都记在何赛的言行录上。
20So Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they buried him in his own house: and Amon his son reigned in his place.
20玛拿西和他的列祖同睡，埋葬在他的宫中；他的儿子亚们接续他作王。
21Amon was twenty-two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned two years in Jerusalem.
21亚们作犹大王（王下21:19-26）亚们登基的时候，是二十二岁；他在耶路撒冷作王共两年。
22He did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, as did Manasseh his father; and Amon sacrificed to all the engraved images which Manasseh his father had made, and served them.
22他行耶和华看为恶的事，像他父亲玛拿西所行的一样；亚们向他父亲玛拿西所做的一切雕像献祭，并且事奉它们。
23He didn’t humble himself before Yahweh, as Manasseh his father had humbled himself; but this same Amon trespassed more and more.
23他没有在耶和华面前谦卑，像他父亲玛拿西谦卑一样；这亚们所犯的罪过越来越多。
24His servants conspired against him, and put him to death in his own house.
24后来，他的臣仆阴谋造反，在宫中把他杀死了。
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.
25但犹大的人民把所有反叛亚们王的人都击杀了，并且立他的儿子约西亚接续他作王。
