歷代志下 26
1 [烏齊雅登極]全猶大人民立烏齊雅為王，繼承他父親阿瑪責雅，那時他十六歲。
All the people of Judah took Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in the place of his father Amaziah.
2 先王與祖先同眠以後，烏齊雅將厄拉特收回仍屬猶大，加以重建。
He built Eloth and restored it to Judah. After that the king slept with his fathers.
3 烏齊雅登基時纔十六歲，在耶路撒冷作王凡五十二年；他母親名叫耶苛里雅，是耶路撒冷人。
Uzziah was sixteen years old when he began to reign; and he reigned fifty-two years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jechiliah, of Jerusalem.
4 烏齊雅行了上主視為正義的事完全像他父親阿瑪責雅所行的一樣。
He did that which was right in the LORD’s eyes, according to all that his father Amaziah had done.
5 則加黎雅有生之日，由於他指導君王敬畏天主，所以君王時常求天主；在他尋求上主的時期內，天主使他事事順利。[國勢昌盛]
He set himself to seek God in the days of Zechariah, who had understanding in the vision of God; and as long as he sought the LORD, God made him prosper.
6 他出兵攻打了培肋舍特人，破壞了加特、雅貝乃和阿市多得的城垣，在阿市多得境內和培肋舍特人中建築了一些城池。
He went out and fought against the Philistines, and broke down the wall of Gath, the wall of Jabneh, and the wall of Ashdod; and he built cities in the country of Ashdod, and amongst the Philistines.
7 天主協助他攻打了培肋舍特人和住在古爾巴耳的阿剌伯人以及瑪紅人。
God helped him against the Philistines, and against the Arabians who lived in Gur Baal, and the Meunim.
8 阿孟子民也向烏齊雅進貢，由於他的勢力極其強大，聲譽傳至埃及邊境。
The Ammonites gave tribute to Uzziah. His name spread abroad even to the entrance of Egypt, for he grew exceedingly strong.
9 烏齊雅在耶路撒冷的角門、谷門以及城角，建築了堡壘，加以設防。
Moreover Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem at the corner gate, at the valley gate, and at the turning of the wall, and fortified them.
10 又在曠野修築了一些堡壘，開鑿了許多儲水池，因為他在平原和高原有很多的牲畜；又因他喜愛農業，所以在山地和田園裏，僱用了許多農夫和栽培葡萄的人。
He built towers in the wilderness, and dug out many cisterns, for he had much livestock, both in the lowlands and in the plains. He had farmers and vineyard keepers in the mountains and in the fruitful fields, for he loved farming.
11 烏齊雅還備有能出征作戰的軍旅，照書記耶依耳和監察官瑪阿色雅所編定的數目，由君王的一位將帥哈納尼雅指揮。
Moreover Uzziah had an army of fighting men who went out to war by bands, according to the number of their reckoning made by Jeiel the scribe and Maaseiah the officer, under the hand of Hananiah, one of the king’s captains.
12 這些英勇戰士中的族長，總數為二千六百人。
The whole number of the heads of fathers’ households, even the mighty men of valour, was two thousand and six hundred.
13 他們屬下的軍隊計有三萬七千五百人，都是善於作戰，協助君王征討敵人的勇士。
Under their hand was an army, three hundred and seven thousand and five hundred, who made war with mighty power, to help the king against the enemy.
14 烏齊雅給他們全隊的人配備了盾牌、長槍、盔甲、弓箭和彈石。
Uzziah prepared for them, even for all the army, shields, spears, helmets, coats of mail, bows, and stones for slinging.
15 在耶路撒冷又叫巧匠設製機械，放在堡壘和城角上，發射矢箭和大石彈。烏齊雅的名聲傳到遠方，因為他獲得了奇異的助佑，勢力極其強盛。[烏齊雅越職受罰]
In Jerusalem, he made devices, invented by skilful men, to be on the towers and on the battlements, with which to shoot arrows and great stones. His name spread far abroad, because he was marvellously helped until he was strong.
16 他勢力強大了，便心高氣傲，以致自毀前途，竟敢冒犯上主他的天主，擅進上主的正殿，企圖在香壇上焚香。
But when he was strong, his heart was lifted up, so that he did corruptly and he trespassed against the LORD his God, for he went into the LORD’s temple to burn incense on the altar of incense.
17 大司祭阿匝黎雅和八十個上主的勇敢司祭隨後進去，
Azariah the priest went in after him, and with him eighty priests of the LORD, who were valiant men.
18 阻止烏齊雅王說：「烏齊雅，給上主焚香不是你的事，而是亞郎子孫司祭的事，他們是受祝聖為行焚香禮的；請由聖殿裏出去，因為你越權，在上主天主面前也沒有光榮。」
They resisted Uzziah the king, and said to him, “It isn’t for you, Uzziah, to burn incense to the LORD, but for the priests the sons of Aaron, who are consecrated to burn incense. Go out of the sanctuary, for you have trespassed. It will not be for your honour from the LORD God.”
19 烏齊雅發怒，手持香爐要獻香；他向司祭發怒時，就在上主殿內香壇旁，當著司祭面前，他的額上突然出現了癩病。
Then Uzziah was angry. He had a censer in his hand to burn incense, and while he was angry with the priests, the leprosy broke out on his forehead before the priests in the LORD’s house, beside the altar of incense.
20 大司祭阿匝黎雅和所有的司祭望著他，見他額上出現了癩病，便促使他出去；他自己便急忙出去，因為上主打擊了他。
Azariah the chief priest and all the priests looked at him, and behold, he was leprous in his forehead; and they thrust him out quickly from there. Indeed, he himself also hurried to go out, because the LORD had struck him.
21 烏齊雅身患癩病一直到死；因為他身患癩病，獨住在一間隔離的房裏，不能進入上主的殿。他的兒子約堂掌管朝廷，統治國家的百姓。
Uzziah the king was a leper to the day of his death, and lived in a separate house, being a leper; for he was cut off from the LORD’s house. Jotham his son was over the king’s house, judging the people of the land.
22 烏齊雅前後其餘的事蹟，都由阿摩茲的兒子依撒意亞先知記了下來。
Now the rest of the acts of Uzziah, first and last, Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, wrote.
23 烏黎雅與祖先同眠，因為人說他有癩病，所以只將他葬在王陵田間，祖先之旁；他的兒子約堂繼位為王。
So Uzziah slept with his fathers; and they buried him with his fathers in the field of burial which belonged to the kings, for they said, “He is a leper.” Jotham his son reigned in his place.
