< 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。(
And all the people of Judah take Uzziah (and he [is] a son of sixteen years), and cause him to reign instead 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。)
He hath built Eloth, and restoreth it to Judah after the king's lying with his fathers.
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。
A son of sixteen years [is] Uzziah in his reigning, and fifty and two years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Jecholiah of 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;
And he doth that which is right in the eyes of Jehovah, according to all that Amaziah his father did,
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。
and he is as one seeking God in the days of Zechariah who hath understanding in visions of God: and in the days of his seeking Jehovah, God hath caused him to 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。
And he goeth forth, and fighteth with the Philistines, and breaketh down the wall of Gath, and the wall of Jabneh, and the wall of Ashdod, and buildeth cities about 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。
And God helpeth him against the Philistines, and against the Arabians who are dwelling in Gur-Baal and the Mehunim.
8 亞捫人給烏西雅進貢。他的名聲傳到埃及,因他甚是強盛。
And the Ammonites give a present to Uzziah, and his name goeth unto the entering in of Egypt, for he strengthened himself greatly.
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;
And Uzziah buildeth towers in Jerusalem, by the gate of the corner, and by the gate of the valley, and by the angle, and strengtheneth 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。
and he buildeth towers in the wilderness, and diggeth many wells, for he had much cattle, both in the low country and in the plain, husbandmen and vine-dressers in the mountains, and in Carmel; for he was a lover of the ground.
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。
And Uzziah hath a force, making war, going forth to the host, by troops, in the number of their reckoning by the hand of Jeiel the scribe and Masseiah the officer, by the hand of Hananiah [one] of the heads of the king.
The whole number of heads of the fathers of the mighty ones of valour [is] two thousand and six hundred;
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。
and by their hand [is] the force of the host, three hundred thousand, and seven thousand, and five hundred warriors, with mighty power to give help to 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,
And Uzziah prepareth for them, for all the host, shields, and spears, and helmets, and coats of mail, and bows, even to stones of the slings.
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。
And he maketh in Jerusalem inventions — a device of an inventor — to be on the towers, and on the corners, to shoot with arrows and with great stones, and his name goeth out unto a distance, for he hath been wonderfully helped till that he hath been strong.
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。
And at his being strong his heart hath been high unto destruction, and he trespasseth against Jehovah his God, and goeth in unto the temple of Jehovah to make perfume upon the altar of perfume.
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。
And Azariah the priest goeth in after him, and with him priests of Jehovah eighty, sons of valour,
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。」
and they stand up against Uzziah the king, and say to him, 'Not for thee, O Uzziah, to make perfume to Jehovah, but for priests, sons of Aaron, who are sanctified to make perfume; go forth from the sanctuary, for thou hast trespassed, and [it is] not to thee for honour from Jehovah 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。
And Uzziah is wroth, and in his hand [is] a censer to make perfume, and in his being wroth with the priests — the leprosy hath risen in his forehead, before the priests, in the house of Jehovah, from beside the altar of perfume.
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。
And Azariah the head priest looketh unto him, and all the priests, and lo, he [is] leprous in his forehead, and they hasten him thence, and also he himself hath hastened to go out, for Jehovah hath plagued 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。
And Uzziah the king is a leper unto the day of his death, and inhabiteth a separate house — a leper, for he hath been cut off from the house of Jehovah, and Jotham his son [is] over the house of the king, judging 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。
And the rest of the matters of Uzziah, the first and the last, hath Isaiah son of Amoz the prophet written;
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。
and Uzziah lieth with his fathers, and they bury him with his fathers, in the field of the burying-place that the kings have, for they said, 'He [is] a leper;' and reign doth Jotham his son in his stead.
