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.
All the people of Judah took Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in place of his father Amaziah.
2 Han byggede Eloth og bragte den til Juda igen, efter at Kongen laa hos sine Fædre.
It was he who rebuilt Elath and restored it to Judah. After that the king slept with his ancestors.
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 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 Og han gjorde det, som var ret for Herrens Øjne, efter alt det, som hans Fader Amazia gjorde.
He did what was right in the eyes of Yahweh, following the example of his father, Amaziah, in everything.
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.
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 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.
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 Og Gud hjalp ham imod Filisterne og imod de Araber, som boede i Gur-Baal, og imod Meuniterne.
God helped him against the Philistines, against the Arabians who lived in Gurbaal, and against the Meunites.
8 Og Ammoniterne gave Ussia Skænk, og han blev navnkundig indtil Ægypten, thi han blev saare mægtig.
The Ammonites paid tribute to Uzziah, and his fame spread, even to the entrance of Egypt, because he was becoming more powerful.
9 Tilmed byggede Ussia Taarne i Jerusalem ved Hjørneporten og ved Dalporten og paa Hjørnet og befæstede dem.
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 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.
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 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.
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 Det hele Tal af de Øverste for Fædrenehusene, af de vældige til Strid, var to Tusinde og seks Hundrede.
The whole number of the leaders of the families who led the mighty men was 2,600.
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.
Under their hand was an army of 307,500 men that made war with mighty power to help 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.
Uzziah prepared for them—for all the army—shields, spears, helmets, coats of mail, bows, and stones for slinging.
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.
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 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.
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 Men Asaria, Præsten, og firsindstyve Herrens Præster med ham, duelige Folk, gik ind efter ham.
Azariah, the priest, went in after him, and with him eighty priests of Yahweh, who were brave men.
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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 Men det øvrige af Ussias Handeler, de første og de sidste, har Profeten Esajas, Amoz's Søn, beskrevet.
The other matters concerning Uzziah, from first to last, were recorded by the prophet Isaiah son of Amoz.
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!
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.
