歷代志下 26
1 猶大眾民立亞瑪謝的兒子烏西雅接續他父作王，那時他年十六歲。（
All the people of Judah took Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in place of his father Amaziah.
2 亞瑪謝與他列祖同睡之後，烏西雅收回以祿仍歸猶大，又重新修理。）
It was he who rebuilt Elath and restored it to Judah. After that the king slept with his ancestors.
3 烏西雅登基的時候年十六歲，在耶路撒冷作王五十二年。他母親名叫耶可利雅，是耶路撒冷人。
Uzziah was sixteen years old when he began to reign. He reigned for fifty-two years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Jekoliah; she was from Jerusalem.
4 烏西雅行耶和華眼中看為正的事，效法他父亞瑪謝一切所行的；
He did what was right in the eyes of Yahweh, following the example of his father, Amaziah, in everything.
5 通曉上帝默示，撒迦利亞在世的時候，烏西雅定意尋求上帝；他尋求耶和華，上帝就使他亨通。
He set himself to seek God in the days of Zechariah, who taught him to honor God. As long as he sought Yahweh, God made him prosper.
6 他出去攻擊非利士人，拆毀了迦特城、雅比尼城，和亞實突城；在非利士人中，在亞實突境內，又建築了些城。
Uzziah went out and fought against the Philistines. He broke down the city walls of Gath, Jabneh, and Ashdod; he built cities in the country of Ashdod and among the Philistines.
7 上帝幫助他攻擊非利士人和住在姑珥‧巴力的阿拉伯人，並米烏尼人。
God helped him against the Philistines, against the Arabians who lived in Gurbaal, and against the Meunites.
8 亞捫人給烏西雅進貢。他的名聲傳到埃及，因他甚是強盛。
The Ammonites paid tribute to Uzziah, and his fame spread, even to the entrance of Egypt, because he was becoming more powerful.
9 烏西雅在耶路撒冷的角門和谷門，並城牆轉彎之處，建築城樓，且甚堅固；
In addition, Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem at the Corner Gate, at the Valley Gate, and at the turning of the wall, and fortified them.
10 又在曠野與高原和平原，建築望樓，挖了許多井，因他的牲畜甚多；又在山地和佳美之地，有農夫和修理葡萄園的人，因為他喜悅農事。
He built watchtowers in the wilderness and dug many cisterns, for he had much cattle, in the lowlands as well as in the plains. He had farmers and vine growers in the hill country and in the fruitful fields, for he loved farming.
11 烏西雅又有軍兵，照書記耶利和官長瑪西雅所數點的，在王的一個將軍哈拿尼雅手下，分隊出戰。
In addition, Uzziah had an army of fighting men who went out to war in groups which were organized by their number that were counted by Jeiel, the scribe, and Maaseiah, the officer, under the authority of Hananiah, one of the king's commanders.
12 族長、大能勇士的總數共有二千六百人，
The whole number of the leaders of the families who led the mighty men was 2,600.
13 他們手下的軍兵共有三十萬七千五百人，都有大能，善於爭戰，幫助王攻擊仇敵。
Under their hand was an army of 307,500 men that made war with mighty power to help the king against the enemy.
14 烏西雅為全軍預備盾牌、槍、盔、甲、弓，和甩石的機弦，
Uzziah prepared for them—for all the army—shields, spears, helmets, coats of mail, bows, and stones for slinging.
15 又在耶路撒冷使巧匠做機器，安在城樓和角樓上，用以射箭發石。烏西雅的名聲傳到遠方；因為他得了非常的幫助，甚是強盛。
In Jerusalem he built machines that were designed by skillful men to be on the towers and on the battlements to shoot arrows and large stones. His fame spread to distant lands, for he was greatly helped and so he became very powerful.
16 他既強盛，就心高氣傲，以致行事邪僻，干犯耶和華－他的上帝，進耶和華的殿，要在香壇上燒香。
But when Uzziah had become powerful, his heart was lifted up so that he acted corruptly; he trespassed against Yahweh, his God, for he went into the house of Yahweh to burn incense on the altar of incense.
17 祭司亞撒利雅率領耶和華勇敢的祭司八十人，跟隨他進去。
Azariah, the priest, went in after him, and with him eighty priests of Yahweh, who were brave men.
18 他們就阻擋烏西雅王，對他說：「烏西雅啊，給耶和華燒香不是你的事，乃是亞倫子孫承接聖職祭司的事。你出聖殿吧！因為你犯了罪。你行這事，耶和華上帝必不使你得榮耀。」
They resisted Uzziah, the king, and said to him, “It is not for you, Uzziah, to burn incense to Yahweh, but for the priests, the sons of Aaron, who are consecrated to burn incense. Go out of the holy place, for you have been unfaithful and you will not be honored by Yahweh God.”
19 烏西雅就發怒，手拿香爐要燒香。他向祭司發怒的時候，在耶和華殿中香壇旁眾祭司面前，額上忽然發出大痲瘋。
Then Uzziah became angry. He was holding a censer in his hand to burn incense. While he was angry with the priests, leprosy broke out on his forehead before the priests in the house of Yahweh, beside the altar of incense.
20 大祭司亞撒利雅和眾祭司觀看，見他額上發出大痲瘋，就催他出殿；他自己也急速出去，因為耶和華降災與他。
Azariah the chief priest and all the priests looked at him, and, behold, he had become leprous on his forehead. They quickly drove him out of there. Indeed, he hurried to go out, because Yahweh had struck him.
21 烏西雅王長大痲瘋直到死日，因此住在別的宮裏，與耶和華的殿隔絕。他兒子約坦管理家事，治理國民。
Uzziah, the king, was a leper to the day of his death and lived in a separate house since he was a leper, for he was cut off from the house of Yahweh. Jotham, his son, was over the king's house and ruled the people of the land.
22 烏西雅其餘的事，自始至終都是亞摩斯的兒子先知以賽亞所記的。
The other matters concerning Uzziah, from first to last, were recorded by the prophet Isaiah son of Amoz.
23 烏西雅與他列祖同睡，葬在王陵的田間他列祖的墳地裏；因為人說，他是長大痲瘋的。他兒子約坦接續他作王。
So Uzziah slept with his ancestors; they buried him with his ancestors in a burial ground that belonged to the kings, for they said, “He is a leper.” Jotham, his son, became king in his place.
