In the twenty-seventh year of Jeroboam, the king of Israel: Azariah, the son of Amaziah, reigned as king of Judah.

He was sixteen years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for fifty-two years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Jecoliah of Jerusalem.

3 Og han gjorde det, som var ret for Herrens Øjne, efter alt det, som hans Fader Amazia gjorde.

And he did what was pleasing before the Lord, in accord with all that his father, Amaziah, did.

4 Dog kom Højene ikke bort; Folket ofrede endnu og gjorde Ragelse paa Højene.

Yet truly, he did not demolish the high places. And still the people were sacrificing, and burning incense, in the high places.

5 Og Herren slog Kongen, at han blev spedalsk indtil sin Dødsdag og boede udi et særskilt Hus; men Jotham, Kongens Søn, var over Huset og dømte Folket i Landet.

Now the Lord struck the king, and he became a leper, even until the day of his death. And he was living in a separate house by himself. And truly, Jotham, the son of the king, governed the palace, and he judged the people of the land.

6 Men det øvrige af Asarias Handeler og alt, hvad han gjorde, er det ikke skrevet i Judas Kongers Krønikers Bog?

Now the rest of the words of Azariah, and all that he did, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah?

And he did what is evil before the Lord, just as his fathers had done. He did not withdraw from the sins of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin.
