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.
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 Det var ham, der befæstede Elot og atter forenede det med Juda efter at Kongen havde lagt sig til Hvile hos sine Fædre.
He hath built Eloth, and restoreth it to Judah after the king's lying 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.
A son of sixteen years [is] Uzziah in his reigning, and fifty and two years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Jecholiah of Jerusalem.
4 Han gjorde, hvad der var ret i HERRENS Øjne, ganske som hans Fader Amazja;
And he doth that which is right in the eyes of Jehovah, according to all that Amaziah his father 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 is as one seeking God in the days of Zechariah who hath understanding in visions of God: and in the days of his seeking Jehovah, God hath caused 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.
And he goeth forth, and fighteth with the Philistines, and breaketh down the wall of Gath, and the wall of Jabneh, and the wall of Ashdod, and buildeth cities about Ashdod, and among the Philistines.
7 Gud hjalp ham mod Filisterne og Araberne, der boede i Gur-Ba'al og mod Me'uniterne.
And God helpeth him against the Philistines, and against the Arabians who are dwelling in Gur-Baal and the Mehunim.
8 Ammoniterne svarede Uzzija Skat, og hans Ry naaede til Ægypten, thi han blev overmaade mægtig.
And the Ammonites give a present to Uzziah, and his name goeth unto the entering in of Egypt, for he strengthened himself greatly.
9 Og Uzzija byggede Taarne i Jerusalem ved Hjørneporten, Dalporten og Murhjørnet og befæstede dem.
And Uzziah buildeth towers in Jerusalem, by the gate of the corner, and by the gate of the valley, and by the angle, and strengtheneth them;
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 buildeth towers in the wilderness, and diggeth many wells, for he had much cattle, both in the low country and in the plain, husbandmen and vine-dressers in the mountains, and in Carmel; for he was a lover of the ground.
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.
And Uzziah hath 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 fulde Tal paa de dygtige Krigere, som var Overhoveder for Fædrenehusene, var 2600.
The whole number of heads of the fathers of the mighty ones of valour [is] two thousand and six hundred;
13 Under deres Befaling stod en Hærstyrke paa 307 500 krigsvante Folk i deres fulde Kraft til at hjælpe Kongen mod 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 Uzzija udrustede hele Hæren med Skjolde, Spyd, Hjelme, Brynjer, Buer og Slyngesten.
And Uzziah prepareth for them, for all the host, shields, and spears, and helmets, and coats of mail, and bows, even to stones of the slings.
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.
And he maketh in Jerusalem inventions — 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 goeth out unto a distance, for he hath been wonderfully helped till that he hath been strong.
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.
And at his being strong his heart hath been high unto destruction, and he trespasseth against Jehovah his God, and goeth in unto the temple of Jehovah to make perfume upon the altar of perfume.
17 Præsten Azarja fulgte efter ham, ledsaget af firsindstyve af HERRENS Præster, modige Mænd;
And Azariah the priest goeth in after him, and with him priests of Jehovah eighty, sons of valour,
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 stand up against Uzziah the king, and say to him, 'Not for thee, O Uzziah, to make perfume to Jehovah, but for priests, sons of Aaron, who are sanctified to make perfume; go forth from the sanctuary, for thou hast trespassed, and [it is] not to thee for honour from Jehovah 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;
And Uzziah is wroth, and in his hand [is] a censer to make perfume, and in his being wroth with the priests — the leprosy hath risen in his forehead, before the priests, in the house of Jehovah, from beside the altar of perfume.
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 Azariah the head priest looketh unto him, and all the priests, and lo, he [is] leprous in his forehead, and they hasten him thence, and also he himself hath hastened to go out, for Jehovah hath plagued 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 Uzziah the king is a leper unto the day of his death, and inhabiteth a separate house — a leper, for he hath been cut off from the house of Jehovah, and Jotham his son [is] over the house of the king, judging 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.
And the rest of the matters of Uzziah, the first and the last, hath Isaiah son of Amoz the prophet written;
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.
and Uzziah lieth 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 reign doth Jotham his son in his stead.
