Anden Krønikebog 26

1 Alt Folket i Juda tog saa Uzzija, der da var seksten Aar gammel, og gjorde ham til Konge i hans Fader Amazjas Sted.

Then all the people of Iudah tooke Vzziah, which was sixteene yeere olde, and made him King in the steade of his father Amaziah.

2 Det var ham, der befæstede Elot og atter forenede det med Juda efter at Kongen havde lagt sig til Hvile hos sine Fædre.

He buylt Eloth, and restored it to Iudah after that the King slept with his fathers.

3 Uzzija var seksten Aar gammel da han blev Konge, og han herskede to og halvtredsindstyve Aar i Jerusalem. Hans Moder hed Jekolja og var fra Jerusalem.

Sixteene yeere olde was Vzziah, when he began to reigne, and he reigned two and fiftie yere in Ierusalem, and his mothers name was Iecoliah of Ierusalem.

4 Han gjorde, hvad der var ret i HERRENS Øjne, ganske som hans Fader Amazja;

And hee did vprightly in the sight of the Lord, according to al that his father Amaziah did.

5 og han blev ved med at søge Gud, saa længe Zekarja, der havde undervist ham i Gudsfrygt, levede. Og saa længe han søgte HERREN, gav Gud ham Lykke.

And he sought God in the dayes of Zechariah (which vnderstoode the visions of God) and when as he sought the Lord, God made him to prosper.

6 Han gjorde et Krigstog mod Filisterne og nedrev Bymurene i Gat, Jabne og Asdod og byggede Byer i Asdods Omraade og Filisterlandet.

For he went forth and fought against the Philistims and brake downe the wall of Gath, and the wall of Iabneh, and the wall of Ashdod, and built cities in Ashdod, and among the Philistims.

7 Gud hjalp ham mod Filisterne og Araberne, der boede i Gur-Ba'al og mod Me'uniterne.

And God helped him against ye Philistims, and against the Arabians that dwelt in Gur-baal and Hammeunim.

8 Ammoniterne svarede Uzzija Skat, og hans Ry naaede til Ægypten, thi han blev overmaade mægtig.

And the Ammonites gaue gifts to Vzziah, and his name spred to the entring in of Egypt: for he did most valiantly.

9 Og Uzzija byggede Taarne i Jerusalem ved Hjørneporten, Dalporten og Murhjørnet og befæstede dem.

Moreouer Uzziah buylt towres in Ierusalem at the corner gate, and at the valley gate, and at the turning, and made them strong.

10 Fremdeles byggede han Taarne i Ørkenen og lod mange Cisterner udhugge, thi han havde store Hjorde baade i Lavlandet og paa Højsletten, der hos Agerdyrkere og Vingaardsmænd paa Bjergene og i Frugtlandet, thi han var ivrig Landmand.

And he built towres in the wildernesse, and digged many cisternes: for he had much cattell both in the valleyes and playnes, plowmen, and dressers of vines in the mountaines, and in Carmel: for he loued husbandrie.

11 Og Uzzija havde en øvet Krigshær, der drog i Krig Deling for Deling i det Tal, der fremgik af Mønstringen, som Statsskriveren Je'uel og Retsskriveren Ma'aseja foretog under Tilsyn af Hananja, en at Kongens Øverster.

Vzziah had also an hoste of fighting men that went out to warre by bandes, according to the count of their nomber vnder the hande of Ieiel the Scribe, and Maaseiah the ruler, and vnder the hand of Hananiah, one of the Kings captaines.

12 Det fulde Tal paa de dygtige Krigere, som var Overhoveder for Fædrenehusene, var 2600.

The whole nomber of the chiefe of the families of the valiant men were two thousande and sixe hundreth.

13 Under deres Befaling stod en Hærstyrke paa 307 500 krigsvante Folk i deres fulde Kraft til at hjælpe Kongen mod Fjenden.

And vnder their hande was the armie for warre, three hundreth and seuen thousand, and fiue hundreth that fought valiantly to helpe the King against the enemie.

14 Uzzija udrustede hele Hæren med Skjolde, Spyd, Hjelme, Brynjer, Buer og Slyngesten.

And Vzziah prepared them throughout all the hoste, shieldes, and speares, and helmets, and brigandines, and bowes, and stones to sling.

15 Ligeledes lod han i Jerusalem lave snildt udtænkte Krigsmaskiner, der opstilledes paa Taarnene og Murtinderne til at udslynge Pile og store Sten. Og hans Ry naaede viden om, thi paa underfuld Maade blev han hjulpet til stor Magt.

He made also very artificial engins in Ierusalem, to be vpon the towres and vpon the corners, to shoote arrowes and great stones: and his name spred farre abroade, because God did helpe him marueilously, till he was mightie.

16 Men da han var blevet mægtig, blev hans Hjerte overmodigt, saa han gjorde, hvad fordærveligt var; han handlede troløst mod HERREN sin Gud, idet han gik ind i HERRENS Helligdom for at brænde Røgelse paa Røgelsealteret.

But when he was strong, his heart was lift vp to his destruction: for he transgressed against the Lord his God, and went into the Temple of the Lord to burne incense vpon the altar of incense.

17 Præsten Azarja fulgte efter ham, ledsaget af firsindstyve af HERRENS Præster, modige Mænd;

And Azariah the Priest went in after him, and with him foure score Priests of the Lord, valiant men.

18 og de traadte frem for Kong Uzzija og sagde til ham: »At ofre HERREN Røgelse tilkommer ikke dig, Uzzija, men Arons Sønner, Præsterne, som er helliget til at ofre Røgelse; gaa ud af Helligdommen, thi du har handlet troløst, og det tjener dig ikke til Ære for HERREN din Gud!«

And they withstoode Vzziah the King, and said vnto him, It perteineth not to thee, Vzziah, to burne incense vnto the Lord, but to the Priests the sonnes of Aaron, that are consecrated for to offer incense: goe forth of the Sanctuarie: for thou hast transgressed, and thou shalt haue none honour of the Lord God.

19 Uzzija, der holdt Røgelsekarret i Haanden for at brænde Røgelse, blev rasende; men som han rasede mod Præsterne, slog Spedalskhed ud paa hans Pande, medens han stod der over for Præsterne foran Røgelsealteret i HERRENS Hus;

Then Vzziah was wroth, and had incense in his hand to burne it: and while he was wroth with the Priestes, the leprosie rose vp in his forehead before the Priestes in the house of the Lord beside the incense altar.

20 og da Ypperstepræsten Azarja og alle Præsterne vendte sig imod ham, se, da var han spedalsk i Panden. Saa førte de ham hastigt bort derfra, og selv fik han travlt med at komme ud, fordi HERREN havde ramt ham.

And when Azariah the chiefe Priest with al the Priestes looked vpon him, behold, he was leprous in his forehead, and they caused him hastily to depart thence: and he was euen compelled to go out, because the Lord had smitten him.

21 Saa var Kong Uzzija spedalsk til sin Dødedag; og skønt spedalsk fik han Lov at blive boende i sit Hus, men var udelukket fra HERRENS Hus, medens hans Søn Jotam raadede i Kongens Palads og dømte Folket i Landet.

And Vzziah the king was a leper vnto the day of his death, and dwelt as a leper in an house apart, because he was cut off from the house of ye Lord: and Iotham his sonne ruled ouer the Kings house, and iudged the people of the land.

22 Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Uzzija fra først til sidst, har Profeten Esajas, Amoz's Søn, optegnet.

Concerning the rest of the acts of Vzziah, first and last, did Isaiah the Prophet the sonne of Amoz write.

23 Saa lagde han sig til Hvile hos sine Fædre, og man jordede ham hos hans Fædre paa den Mark, hvor Kongegravene var, under Hensyn til at han havde været spedalsk; og hans Søn Jotam blev Konge i hans Sted.

So Vzziah slept with his fathers, and they buryed him with his fathers in the fielde of the burial, which perteined to the kings: for they said, He is a leper. And Iotham his sonne reigned in his steade.
