歷代志下 33
Revised Chinese Union Version (Traditional Script) Shen Edition
猶大王瑪拿西(A)
33 瑪拿西登基的時候年十二歲,在耶路撒冷作王五十五年。 2 他行耶和華眼中看為惡的事,效法耶和華在以色列人面前趕出的列國那些可憎的事。 3 他重新建築他父親希西家所拆毀的丘壇,為諸巴力築壇,造亞舍拉,又敬拜天上的萬象,事奉它們。 4 他在耶和華殿中築壇,耶和華曾指着這殿說:「我的名必永遠在耶路撒冷。」 5 他在耶和華殿的兩個院子為天上的萬象築壇, 6 並在欣嫩子谷使他的兒子經火,又觀星象,行法術,行邪術,求問招魂的和行巫術的,多行耶和華眼中看為惡的事,惹他發怒。 7 他在 神殿內立雕刻的偶像; 神曾對大衛和他兒子所羅門說:「我在以色列眾支派中所選擇的耶路撒冷和這殿,必立我的名,直到永遠。 8 只要以色列人謹守遵行我藉摩西吩咐他們的一切律法、律例、典章,我就不再使他們的腳挪移,離開我所賜給他們列祖之土地。」 9 瑪拿西引誘猶大和耶路撒冷的居民行惡,比耶和華在以色列人面前所滅的列國更嚴重。
瑪拿西悔改
10 耶和華警戒瑪拿西和他的百姓,他們卻不聽。 11 所以耶和華使亞述王的將領來攻擊他們,用手銬銬住瑪拿西,用銅鏈鎖住他,把他帶到巴比倫去。 12 他在急難的時候懇求耶和華—他的 神,並在他列祖的 神面前極其謙卑。 13 他祈禱耶和華,耶和華就應允他,垂聽他的禱告,使他歸回耶路撒冷,仍坐王位。瑪拿西這才知道惟獨耶和華是 神。
14 此後,瑪拿西在大衛城外,從谷內基訓西邊直到魚門口,建築城牆,環繞俄斐勒;這牆建得很高。他又在猶大各堅固城內設立將領。 15 他除掉外邦人的神像與耶和華殿中的偶像,又將他在耶和華殿的山上和耶路撒冷所築的各壇都拆毀,拋在城外。 16 他重修耶和華的祭壇,在壇上獻平安祭和感謝祭,並吩咐猶大人事奉耶和華—以色列的 神。 17 百姓卻仍在丘壇上獻祭,不過,他們只獻給耶和華—他們的 神。
瑪拿西逝世(B)
18 瑪拿西其餘的事和他向 神的禱告,以及先見奉耶和華—以色列 神的名警戒他的話,看哪,都在《以色列諸王記》上。 19 他的禱告, 神怎樣應允他,他未謙卑以前的一切罪愆過犯,以及在何處建築丘壇,設立亞舍拉和雕刻的偶像,看哪,都寫在何賽[a]的書上。 20 瑪拿西與他祖先同睡,葬在自己的宮中,他兒子亞們接續他作王。
猶大王亞們(C)
21 亞們登基的時候年二十二歲,在耶路撒冷作王二年。 22 他行耶和華眼中看為惡的事,效法他父親瑪拿西所行的,祭祀他父親瑪拿西所雕刻的一切偶像,事奉它們, 23 但他不像他父親瑪拿西在耶和華面前那樣謙卑下來。這亞們的罪越犯越大。 24 他的臣僕背叛他,在宮裏殺了他。 25 但這地的百姓殺了所有背叛亞們王的人;這地的百姓立他兒子約西亞接續他作王。

2 Chronicles 33
King James Version
33 Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty and five years in Jerusalem:
2 But 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.
3 For 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.
4 Also he built altars in the house of the Lord, whereof the Lord had said, In Jerusalem shall my name be for ever.
5 And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the Lord.
6 And 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.
7 And 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:
8 Neither 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.
9 So 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.
10 And the Lord spake to Manasseh, and to his people: but they would not hearken.
11 Wherefore 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.
12 And when he was in affliction, he besought the Lord his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers,
13 And 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.
14 Now 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.
15 And 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.
16 And 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.
17 Nevertheless the people did sacrifice still in the high places, yet unto the Lord their God only.
18 Now 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.
19 His 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.
20 So Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they buried him in his own house: and Amon his son reigned in his stead.
21 Amon was two and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned two years in Jerusalem.
22 But 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;
23 And humbled not himself before the Lord, as Manasseh his father had humbled himself; but Amon trespassed more and more.
24 And his servants conspired against him, and slew him in his own house.
25 But 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.
