Anden Krønikebog 26
1 Da tog alt Judas Folk Ussia, da han var seksten Aar gammel, og de gjorde ham til Konge i hans Faders Amazias Sted.
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 Han byggede Eloth og bragte den til Juda igen, efter at Kongen laa hos sine Fædre.
He has built Eloth, and restores it to Judah after the king’s lying with his fathers.
3 Ussia var seksten Aar gammel, der han blev Konge, og regerede to og halvtredsindstyve Aar i Jerusalem; og hans Moders Navn var Jekolia fra Jerusalem.
Uzziah [is] a son of sixteen years in his reigning, and he has reigned fifty-two years in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Jecholiah of Jerusalem.
4 Og han gjorde det, som var ret for Herrens Øjne, efter alt det, som hans Fader Amazia gjorde.
And he does that which is right in the eyes of YHWH, according to all that his father Amaziah did,
5 Og han søgte Gud i Sakarias Dage, og denne forstod sig paa Guds Syner; og i de Dage, han søgte Herren, gav Gud ham Lykke.
and he is as one seeking God in the days of Zechariah who has understanding in visions of God: and in the days of his seeking YHWH, God has caused him to prosper.
6 Thi han drog ud og stred imod Filisterne og nedrev Murene i Gath og Murene i Jabne og Murene i Asdod og byggede Stæder ved Asdod og iblandt Filisterne.
And he goes forth and fights with the Philistines, and breaks down the wall of Gath, and the wall of Jabneh, and the wall of Ashdod, and builds cities [around] Ashdod, and among the Philistines.
7 Og Gud hjalp ham imod Filisterne og imod de Araber, som boede i Gur-Baal, og imod Meuniterne.
And God helps him against the Philistines, and against the Arabians who are dwelling in Gur-Ba‘al and the Mehunim.
8 Og Ammoniterne gave Ussia Skænk, og han blev navnkundig indtil Ægypten, thi han blev saare mægtig.
And the Ammonites give a present to Uzziah, and his name goes to the entering in of Egypt, for he strengthened himself greatly.
9 Tilmed byggede Ussia Taarne i Jerusalem ved Hjørneporten og ved Dalporten og paa Hjørnet og befæstede dem.
And Uzziah builds towers in Jerusalem, by the Corner Gate, and by the Valley Gate, and by the angle, and strengthens them;
10 Han byggede og Taarne i Ørken og udhuggede mange Brønde; thi han havde meget Kvæg, baade i Lavlandet og paa Sletten, Agerdyrkere og Vingaardsmænd paa Bjergene og paa de frugtbare Marker; thi han var en Elsker af Jordbrug.
and he builds towers in the wilderness, and digs many wells, for he had much livestock, both in the low country and in the plain, farmers and vinedressers in the mountains, and in Carmel; for he was a lover of the ground.
11 Og Ussia havde en Hær, som kunde føre Krig, og som tropvis drog ud i Strid, efter det Mandtal, som var optaget af Skriveren Jejel og af Fogeden Maeseja under Tilsyn af Hanania, en af Kongens Øverster.
And Uzziah has 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.
12 Det hele Tal af de Øverste for Fædrenehusene, af de vældige til Strid, var to Tusinde og seks Hundrede.
The whole number of heads of the fathers of the mighty men of valor [is] two thousand and six hundred;
13 Og Stridshæren under deres Haand var tre Hundrede Tusinde og syv Tusinde og fem Hundrede, som kunde føre Krig med vældig Kraft til at hjælpe Kongen imod Fjenden.
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 Og Ussia beredte for dem, for den ganske Hær, Skjolde og Spyd og Hjelme og Pansere og Buer og Slyngestene.
And Uzziah prepares for them, for all the host, shields, and spears, and helmets, and coats of mail, and bows, even to stones of the slings.
15 Han indrettede ogsaa i Jerusalem kunstige Krigsredskaber, udtænkte af Kunstnere, for at sætte dem paa Taarnene og paa Hjørnerne, for at udskyde Pile og store Stene; og hans Navn kom ud indtil langt fraliggende Steder, fordi han vidunderligt blev hjulpen, indtil han blev stærk.
And he makes inventions in Jerusalem—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 goes out to a distance, for he has been wonderfully helped until he has been strong.
16 Men der han var bleven stærk, ophøjede hans Hjerte sig, indtil han handlede fordærveligt, og han forgreb sig imod Herren sin Gud og gik ind i Herrens Tempel for at gøre Røgelse paa Røgofferalteret.
And at his being strong his heart has been high to destruction, and he trespasses against his God YHWH, and goes into the temple of YHWH to make incense on the altar of incense.
17 Men Asaria, Præsten, og firsindstyve Herrens Præster med ham, duelige Folk, gik ind efter ham.
And Azariah the priest goes in after him, and with him eighty priests of YHWH, sons of valor,
18 Og de stode Kong Ussia imod og sagde til ham: Ussia! at gøre Røgoffer for Herren hører ikke dig til, men Præsterne, Arons Børn, som ere helligede til at gøre Røgoffer; gak ud af Helligdommen, thi du forgriber dig, og det bliver dig ikke til Ære for Gud Herren.
and they stand up against Uzziah the king, and say to him, “[It is] not for you, O Uzziah, to make incense to YHWH, but for priests, sons of Aaron, who are sanctified to make incense; go forth from the sanctuary, for you have trespassed, indeed, for you [will] not [have] honor from YHWH God.”
19 Da blev Ussia vred, og han havde et Røgelsekar i Haanden til at gøre Røgoffer; og som han blev vred paa Præsterne, da brød Spedalskheden frem i hans Pande i Præsternes Paasyn i Herrens Hus ved Røgofferalteret.
And Uzziah is angry, and in his hand [is] a censer to make incense, and in his being angry with the priests—the leprosy has risen in his forehead, before the priests, in the house of YHWH, from beside the altar of incense.
20 Og Asaria, den Ypperstepræst, og alle Præsterne vendte Ansigtet imod ham, og se, da var han spedalsk i sin Pande, og de hastede med ham derfra; ja, han skyndte sig selv ogsaa at gaa ud, thi Herren havde slaget ham.
And Azariah the head priest looks toward him, and all the priests, and behold, he [is] leprous in his forehead, and they hurry him there, and also he himself has hurried to go out, for YHWH has plagued him.
21 Saa var Kong Ussia spedalsk indtil sin Dødsdag og boede spedalsk udi et særskilt Hus, thi han var udelukket fra Herrens Hus; og Jotham, hans Søn, var over Kongens Hus og dømte Folket i Landet.
And Uzziah the king is a leper to the day of his death, and inhabits a separate house—a leper, for he has been cut off from the house of YHWH, and his son Jotham [is] over the house of the king, judging the people of the land.
22 Men det øvrige af Ussias Handeler, de første og de sidste, har Profeten Esajas, Amoz's Søn, beskrevet.
And the rest of the matters of Uzziah, the first and the last, Isaiah son of Amoz the prophet has written;
23 Og Ussia laa med sine Fædre, og de begrove ham hos hans Fædre i den Begravelsesager, som hørte Kongerne til; thi de sagde: Han er spedalsk; og Jotham, hans Søn, blev Konge i hans Sted!
and Uzziah lies 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 his son Jotham reigns in his stead.
