2 Ljetopisa 26
1 Tada sav judejski narod uze Uziju, komu bijaše šesnaest godina, i zakraljiše ga namjesto njegova oca Amasje.
All the people of Judah took Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in place of his father Amaziah.
2 On je opet sagradio Elat vrativši ga Judeji, pošto je kralj počinuo kod svojih otaca.
It was he who rebuilt Elath and restored it to Judah. After that the king slept with his ancestors.
3 Uziji bijaše šesnaest godina kad se zakraljio, a kraljevao je pedeset i dvije godine u Jeruzalemu. Mati mu se zvala Jekolija, a bila je iz Jeruzalema.
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 Činio je što je pravo u Jahvinim očima, sasvim kao i njegov otac Amasja.
He did what was right in the eyes of Yahweh, following the example of his father, Amaziah, in everything.
5 Tražio je Boga za života Zaharije, koji ga je učio Božjem strahu; dokle je god tražio Jahvu, davao mu je Bog sreću.
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 On je izišao i zavojštio na Filistejce, srušio zid Gata, zid Jabne i zid Ašdoda; sagradio je mjesta po Ašdodu i Filisteji.
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 Bog mu je pomogao protiv Filistejaca i protiv Arapa, koji su živjeli u Gur Baalu, i protiv Meunjana.
God helped him against the Philistines, against the Arabians who lived in Gurbaal, and against the Meunites.
8 Amonci su davali danak Uziji, a njegov se glas pronio do Egipta, jer se bijaše vrlo osilio.
The Ammonites paid tribute to Uzziah, and his fame spread, even to the entrance of Egypt, because he was becoming more powerful.
9 Uzija je sagradio kule u Jeruzalemu kod Ugaonih vrata, kod Dolinskih vrata i na uglu te ih utvrdio.
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 Sagradio je i u pustinji kule i iskopao mnogo studenaca, jer je imao mnogo stoke i u Šefeli i po Ravnici, ratara i vinogradara u gorama i vrtovima, jer je volio poljodjelstvo.
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 Uzija je imao vojsku vještu boju koja je išla u rat u četama po broju kako ih je izbrojio tajnik Jeiel i nadzornik Maasja pod upravom Hananije, jednoga od kraljevih knezova.
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 Svega je na broj bilo, obiteljskih glavara, hrabrih junaka, dvije tisuće i šest stotina.
The whole number of the leaders of the families who led the mighty men was 2,600.
13 Pod njihovom je upravom bilo silne vojske trista sedam tisuća i pet stotina boju vičnih ratnika da pomažu kralju protiv neprijatelja.
Under their hand was an army of 307,500 men that made war with mighty power to help the king against the enemy.
14 Uzija je pripravio svoj vojsci štitove, koplja, kacige, oklope, lukove i kamenje za praćke.
Uzziah prepared for them—for all the army—shields, spears, helmets, coats of mail, bows, and stones for slinging.
15 Napravio je u Jeruzalemu vješto smišljene bojne sprave, iznašašće nekoga graditelja, da stoje na kulama i na kruništima, da bacaju strijele i veliko kamenje; pronio mu se glas nadaleko jer je uživao čudesnu pomoć sve dok se nije osilio.
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 Ali kad se osilio, uzobijestilo mu se srce dotle da se pokvario te se iznevjerio Jahvi, svome Bogu, jer je ušao u Jahvin Hekal i počeo prinositi kad na kadionom žrtveniku.
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 Ali je za njim ušao svećenik Azarja i s njim osamdeset Jahvinih svećenika, čestitih ljudi.
Azariah, the priest, went in after him, and with him eighty priests of Yahweh, who were brave men.
18 Oni ustadoše na kralja Uziju govoreći: “Nije tvoje, Uzijo, da kadiš Jahvi, nego je to dužnost svećenika, Aronovih sinova, koji su posvećeni da kade. Izlazi iz Svetišta! Iznevjerio si se. I ne služi ti na čast pred Bogom Jahvom!”
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 Tada se Uzija rasrdi držeći u ruci kadionicu da kadi; kad se rasrdio na svećenike, izbi mu guba na čelu pred svećenicima u Domu Jahvinu kraj kadionog žrtvenika.
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 Kad ga svećenički poglavar Azarja i svi svećenici izbližega pogledaše, a ono, gle, izbila mu guba na čelu; brže ga otjeraše odande, a i on sam pohitje da iziđe jer ga Jahve bijaše udario.
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 Kralj Uzija ostade gubav do smrti i stanovaše u odvojenoj kući, jer bijaše odstranjen od Doma Jahvina; njegov je sin Jotam bio upravitelj kraljevskoga dvora i sudio je puku zemlje.
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 Ostala Uzijina djela, od prvih do posljednjih, opisao je Amosov sin, prorok Izaija.
The other matters concerning Uzziah, from first to last, were recorded by the prophet Isaiah son of Amoz.
23 Uzija je počinuo i sahranili su ga kraj njegovih otaca na polju kod kraljevske grobnice, rekavši: “Gubav je.” Na njegovo se mjesto zakraljio sin mu Jotam.
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.
