Anden Krønikebog 26

1 Alt Folket i Juda tog så Uzzija, der da var seksten År 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 has built Eloth, and restores it to Judah after the king’s lying with his fathers.

3 Uzzija var seksten År gammel da han blev Konge, og han herskede to og halvtredsindstyve År i Jerusalem. Hans Moder hed Jekolja og var 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 Han gjorde, hvad der var ret i HERRENs Øjne, ganske som hans Fader Amazja;

And he does that which is right in the eyes of YHWH, according to all that his father Amaziah did,

5 og han blev ved med at søge Gud, så længe Zekarja, der havde undervist ham i Gudsfrygt, levede. Og så længe 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 Han gjorde et Krigstog mod Filisterne og nedrev Bymurene i Gat, Jabne og Asdod og byggede Byer i Asdods Område og Filisterlandet.

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

And God helps him against the Philistines, and against the Arabians who are dwelling in Gur-Ba‘al and the Mehunim.

8 Atnmoniterne svarede Uzzija Skat, og hans Ry nåede til Ægypten, thi han blev overmåde 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 Og Uzzija byggede Tårne i Jerusalem ved Hjørneporten, Dalporten og Murhjørnet og befæstede

And Uzziah builds towers in Jerusalem, by the Corner Gate, and by the Valley Gate, and by the angle, and strengthens them;

10 Fremdeles byggede han Tårne i Ørkenen og lod mange Cisterner udhugge, thi han havde store Hjorde både i Lavlandet og på Højsletten, der hos Agerdyrkere og Vingårdsmænd på Bjergene og i Frugtlandet, thi han var ivrig Landmand.

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 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 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 fulde Tal på de dygtige Krigere, som var Overhoveder for Fædrenehusene, var 2600.

The whole number of heads of the fathers of the mighty men of valor [is] two thousand and six hundred;

13 Under deres Befaling stod en Hærstyrke på 307500 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 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 Ligeledes lod han i Jerusalem lave snildt udtænkte Krigsmaskiner, der opstilledes på Tårnene og Murtinderne til at udslynge Pile og store Sten. Og hans Ry nåede viden om, thi på underfuld Måde blev han hjulpet til stor Magt.

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 da han var blevet mægtig, blev hans Hjerte overmodigt, så han gjorde, hvad fordærveligt var; han handlede troløst mod HERREN sin Gud, idet han gik ind i HERRENs Helligdom for at brænde Røgelse på Røgelsealteret.

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

And Azariah the priest goes in after him, and with him eighty priests of YHWH, sons of valor,

18 og de trådte 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; gå 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, “[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 Uzzija, der holdt Røgelsekarret i Hånden for at brænde Røgelse, blev rasende; men som han rasede mod Præsterne, slog Spedalskhed ud på hans Pande, medens han stod der over for Præsterne foran Røgelsealteret i HERRENs Hus;

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 da Ypperstepræsten Azarja og alle Præsterne vendte sig imod ham, se, da var han spedalsk i Panden. Så 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 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 Så 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 rådede i Kongens Palads 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 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, Isaiah son of Amoz the prophet has written;

23 Så lagde han sig til Hvile hos sine Fædre, og man jordede ham hos hans Fædre på den Mark, hor Kongegravene var, under Hensyn til at han havde været spedalsk; og hans Søn Jotam 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.
