열왕기하 21

1므낫세가 위에 나아갈 때에 나이 십이 세라 예루살렘에서 오십오 년을 치리하니라 그 모친의 이름은 헵시바더라 2므낫세가 여호와 보시기에 악을 행하여 여호와께서 이스라엘 자손 앞에서 쫓아내신 이방 사람의 가증한 일을 본받아서 3그 부친 히스기야의 헐어버린 산당을 다시 세우며 이스라엘 왕 아합의 소위를 본받아 바알을 위하여 단을 쌓으며 아세라 목상을 만들며 하늘의 일월성신을 숭배하여 섬기며 4여호와께서 전에 이르시기를 내가 내 이름을 예루살렘에 두리라 하신 여호와의 전의 단들을 쌓고 5또 여호와의 전 두 마당에 하늘의 일월성신을 위하여 단들을 쌓고 6또 그 아들을 불 가운데로 지나게 하며 점치며 사술을 행하며 신접한 자와 박수를 신임하여 여호와 보시기에 악을 많이 행하여 그 진노를 격발하였으며 7또 자기가 만든 아로새긴 아세라 목상을 전에 세웠더라 옛적에 여호와께서 이 전에 대하여 다윗과 그 아들 솔로몬에게 이르시기를 내가 이스라엘 모든 지파 중에서 택한 이 전과 예루살렘에 내 이름을 영원히 둘지라 8만일 이스라엘이 나의 모든 명령과 나의 종 모세의 명한 모든 율법을 지켜 행하면 내가 그들의 발로 다시는 그 열조에게 준 땅에서 떠나 유리하지 않게 하리라 하셨으나 9이 백성이 듣지 아니하였고 므낫세의 꾀임을 받고 악을 행한 것이 여호와께서 이스라엘 자손 앞에서 멸하신 열방보다 더욱 심하였더라 10여호와께서 그 종 모든 선지자들로 말씀하여 가라사대 11유다 왕 므낫세가 이 가증한 일과 악을 행함이 그 전에 있던 아모리 사람의 행위보다 더욱 심하였고 또 그 우상으로 유다를 범죄케 하였도다 12그러므로 이스라엘 하나님 여호와가 말하노니 내가 이제 예루살렘과 유다에 재앙을 내리리니 듣는 자마다 두 귀가 울리리라 13내가 사마리아를 잰 줄과 아합의 집을 다림보던 추로 예루살렘에 베풀고 또 사람이 그릇을 씻어 엎음 같이 예루살렘을 씻어 버릴지라 14내가 나의 기업에서 남은 자를 버려 그 대적의 손에 붙인즉 저희가 모든 대적에게 노략과 겁탈이 되리니 15이는 애굽에서 나온 그 열조 때부터 오늘까지 나의 보기에 악을 행하여 나의 노를 격발하였음이니라 하셨더라 16므낫세가 여호와 보시기에 악을 행하여 유다로 범하게한 그 죄 외에 또 무죄한 자의 피를 심히 많이 흘려 예루살렘 이 가에서 저 가까지 가득하게 하였더라 17므낫세의 남은 사적과 무릇 그 행한바와 범한 죄는 유다 왕 역대지략에 기록되지 아니하였느냐 18므낫세가 그 열조와 함께 자매 그 궁궐 동산 곧 웃사의 동산에 장사되고 그 아들 아몬이 대신하여 왕이 되니라 19아몬이 위에 나아갈 때에 나이 이십이 세라 예루살렘에서 이 년을 치리하니라 그 모친의 이름은 므술레멧이라 욧바 하루스의 딸이더라 20아몬이 그 부친 므낫세의 행함 같이 여호와 보시기에 악을 행하되 21그 부친의 행한 모든 길로 행하여 그 부친의 섬기던 우상을 섬겨 경배하고 22그 열조의 하나님 여호와를 버리고 그 길로 행치 아니하더니 23그 신복들이 반역하여 왕을 궁중에서 죽이매 24그 국민이 아몬 왕을 반역한 사람들을 다 죽이고 그 아들 요시야로 대신하여 왕을 삼았더라 25아몬의 행한바 남은 사적은 유다 왕 역대지략에 기록되지 아니하였느냐 26아몬이 웃시야의 동산 자기 묘실에 장사되고 그 아들 요시야가 대신하여 왕이 되니라

1Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign; and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Hephzibah. 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. 3For he built again the high places which Hezekiah his father had destroyed; and he reared up altars for Baal, and made an Asherah, as did Ahab king of Israel, and worshiped all the army of the sky, and served them. 4He built altars in Yahweh’s house, of which Yahweh said, “I will put my name in Jerusalem.” 5He built altars for all the army of the sky in the two courts of Yahweh’s house. 6He made his son to pass through the fire, and practiced sorcery, and used enchantments, 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. 7He set the engraved image of Asherah, that he had made, in the house of which Yahweh 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; 8neither will I 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.” 9But they didn’t listen: and Manasseh seduced them to do that which is evil more than the nations did whom Yahweh destroyed before the children of Israel. 10Yahweh spoke by his servants the prophets, saying, 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 made Judah also to sin with his idols; 12therefore thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, ‘Behold, I bring such evil on Jerusalem and Judah, that whoever hears of it, both his ears shall tingle. 13I will stretch over Jerusalem the line of Samaria, and the plummet of the house of Ahab; and I will wipe Jerusalem as a man wipes a dish, wiping it and turning it upside down. 14I will cast off the remnant of my inheritance, and deliver them into the hand of their enemies. They will become a prey and a plunder to all their enemies; 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.’” 16Moreover Manasseh shed innocent blood very much, until he had filled Jerusalem from one end to another; besides his sin with which he made Judah to sin, in doing that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh. 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? 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. 19Amon was twenty-two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned two years in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Meshullemeth the daughter of Haruz of Jotbah. 20He did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, as Manasseh his father did. 21He walked in all the way that his father walked in, and served the idols that his father served, and worshiped them: 22and he abandoned Yahweh, the God of his fathers, and didn’t walk in the way of Yahweh. 23The servants of Amon conspired against him, and put the king to death in his own house. 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. 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? 26He was buried in his tomb in the garden of Uzza: and Josiah his son reigned in his place.

1Manasse was twaalf jaren oud, toen hij koning werd, en hij regeerde vijf en vijftig jaren te Jeruzalem; en de naam zijner moeder was Hefzi-bah. 2En hij deed dat kwaad was in de ogen des HEEREN, naar de gruwelen der heidenen, die de HEERE voor het aangezicht der kinderen Israels uit de bezitting verdreven had. 3Want hij bouwde de hoogten weder op, die Hizkia, zijn vader, verdorven had; en hij richtte Baal altaren op, en maakte een bos, gelijk als Achab, de koning van Israel, gemaakt had, en boog zich neder voor het heir des hemels, en diende ze. 4En hij bouwde altaren in het huis des HEEREN, waarvan de HEERE gezegd had: te Jeruzalem zal Ik Mijn Naam zetten. 5Daartoe bouwde hij altaren voor al het heir des hemels, in beide de voorhoven van het huis des HEEREN. 6Ja, hij deed zijn zoon door het vuur gaan, en pleegde guichelarij en gaf op vogelgeschrei acht; en hij stelde waarzeggers en duivelskunstenaren; hij deed zeer veel kwaads in de ogen des HEEREN, om Hem tot toorn te verwekken. 7Hij stelde ook een gesneden beeld van het bos, dat hij gemaakt had, in het huis waarvan de HEERE gezegd had tot David, en tot zijn zoon Salomo: In dit huis, en in Jeruzalem, die Ik uit alle stammen van Israel verkoren heb, zal Ik Mijn Naam zetten in eeuwigheid. 8En Ik zal niet voortvaren den voet van Israel te bewegen uit dit land, dat Ik hun vaderen gegeven heb; alleenlijk, zo zij waarnemen te doen, naar alles, wat Ik hun geboden heb, en naar de ganse wet, die Mijn knecht Mozes hun geboden heeft. 9Maar zij hoorden niet; want Manasse deed hen dwalen, dat zij erger deden dan de heidenen, die de HEERE voor het aangezicht der kinderen Israels verdelgd had. 10Toen sprak de HEERE door den dienst van Zijn knechten, de profeten, zeggende: 11Dewijl dat Manasse, de koning van Juda, deze gruwelen gedaan heeft, erger doende dan al wat de Amorieten gedaan hebben, die voor hem geweest zijn, ja, ook Juda door zijn drekgoden heeft doen zondigen; 12Daarom, alzo zegt de HEERE, de God Israels: Ziet, Ik zal een kwaad over Jeruzalem en Juda brengen, dat een ieder, die het hoort, beide zijn oren klinken zullen. 13En Ik zal over Jeruzalem het meetsnoer van Samaria trekken, mitsgaders het paslood van het huis van Achab; en Ik zal Jeruzalem uitwissen, gelijk als men een schotel uitwist; men wist dien uit, en men keert hem om op zijn holligheid. 14En Ik zal het overblijfsel Mijns erfdeels verlaten, en zal ze in de hand hunner vijanden geven; en zij zullen tot een roof en plundering worden al hun vijanden. 15Daarom, dat zij gedaan hebben dat kwaad was in Mijn ogen, en Mij tot toorn verwekt hebben, van dien dag, dat hun vaderen van Egypte uitgegaan zijn, ook tot op dezen dag toe. 16Daartoe vergoot Manasse ook zeer veel onschuldig bloed, totdat hij Jeruzalem van het ene einde tot het andere vervuld had; behalve zijn zonde, die hij Juda zondigen deed, doende wat kwaad was in de ogen des HEEREN. 17Het overige der geschiedenissen van Manasse, en al wat hij gedaan heeft, en zijn zonde, die hij gezondigd heeft, zijn die niet geschreven in het boek der kronieken der koningen van Juda? 18En Manasse ontsliep met zijn vaderen, en werd begraven in den hof van zijn huis, in den hof van Uzza; en zijn zoon Amon werd koning in zijn plaats. 19Amon was twee en twintig jaren oud, toen hij koning werd, en hij regeerde twee jaren te Jeruzalem; en de naam zijner moeder was Mesullemet, een dochter van Haruz van Jotba. 20En hij deed dat kwaad was in de ogen des HEEREN; gelijk als zijn vader Manasse gedaan had. 21Want hij wandelde in al den weg, dien zijn vader gewandeld had, en hij diende de drekgoden, die zijn vader gediend had, en hij boog zich voor die neder. 22Zo verliet hij den HEERE, den God zijner vaderen, en hij wandelde niet in den weg des HEEREN. 23En de knechten van Amon maakten een verbintenis tegen hem, en zij doodden den koning in zijn huis. 24Maar het volk des lands versloeg allen, die tegen den koning Amon een verbintenis gemaakt hadden; en het volk des lands maakte zijn zoon Josia koning in zijn plaats. 25Het overige nu der geschiedenissen van Amon, wat hij gedaan heeft, zijn die niet geschreven in het boek der kronieken der koningen van Juda? 26En men begroef hem in zijn graf, in den hof van Uzza; en zijn zoon Josia werd koning in zijn plaats.
