2 Chronicles 26
1 All the people of Judah took Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in place of his father Amaziah.
[烏齊雅登極]全猶大人民立烏齊雅為王，繼承他父親阿瑪責雅，那時他十六歲。
2 Uzziah was the one who rebuilt Eloth and restored it to Judah after King Amaziah rested with his fathers.
先王與祖先同眠以後，烏齊雅將厄拉特收回仍屬猶大，加以重建。
3 Uzziah was sixteen years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem fifty-two years. His mother’s name was Jecoliah; she was from Jerusalem.
烏齊雅登基時纔十六歲，在耶路撒冷作王凡五十二年；他母親名叫耶苛里雅，是耶路撒冷人。
4 And he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, just as his father Amaziah had done.
烏齊雅行了上主視為正義的事完全像他父親阿瑪責雅所行的一樣。
5 He sought God throughout the days of Zechariah, who instructed him in the fear of God. And as long as he sought the LORD, God gave him success.
則加黎雅有生之日，由於他指導君王敬畏天主，所以君王時常求天主；在他尋求上主的時期內，天主使他事事順利。[國勢昌盛]
6 Uzziah went out to wage war against the Philistines, and he tore down the walls of Gath, Jabneh, and Ashdod. Then he built cities near Ashdod and among the Philistines.
他出兵攻打了培肋舍特人，破壞了加特、雅貝乃和阿市多得的城垣，在阿市多得境內和培肋舍特人中建築了一些城池。
7 God helped him against the Philistines, against the Arabs living in Gur-baal, and against the Meunites.
天主協助他攻打了培肋舍特人和住在古爾巴耳的阿剌伯人以及瑪紅人。
8 The Ammonites brought tribute to Uzziah, and his fame spread as far as the border of Egypt, for he had become exceedingly powerful.
阿孟子民也向烏齊雅進貢，由於他的勢力極其強大，聲譽傳至埃及邊境。
9 Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem at the Corner Gate, the Valley Gate, and the angle in the wall, and he fortified them.
烏齊雅在耶路撒冷的角門、谷門以及城角，建築了堡壘，加以設防。
10 Since he had much livestock in the foothills and in the plain, he built towers in the desert and dug many cisterns. And since he was a lover of the soil, he had farmers and vinedressers in the hill country and in the fertile fields.
又在曠野修築了一些堡壘，開鑿了許多儲水池，因為他在平原和高原有很多的牲畜；又因他喜愛農業，所以在山地和田園裏，僱用了許多農夫和栽培葡萄的人。
11 Uzziah had an army ready for battle that went out to war by assigned divisions, as recorded by Jeiel the scribe and Maaseiah the officer under the direction of Hananiah, one of the royal officers.
烏齊雅還備有能出征作戰的軍旅，照書記耶依耳和監察官瑪阿色雅所編定的數目，由君王的一位將帥哈納尼雅指揮。
12 The total number of family leaders of the mighty men of valor was 2,600.
這些英勇戰士中的族長，總數為二千六百人。
13 Under their authority was an army of 307,500 trained for war, a powerful force to support the king against his enemies.
他們屬下的軍隊計有三萬七千五百人，都是善於作戰，協助君王征討敵人的勇士。
14 Uzziah supplied the entire army with shields, spears, helmets, armor, bows, and slingstones.
烏齊雅給他們全隊的人配備了盾牌、長槍、盔甲、弓箭和彈石。
15 And in Jerusalem he made skillfully designed devices to shoot arrows and catapult large stones from the towers and corners. So his fame spread far and wide, for he was helped tremendously so that he became powerful.
在耶路撒冷又叫巧匠設製機械，放在堡壘和城角上，發射矢箭和大石彈。烏齊雅的名聲傳到遠方，因為他獲得了奇異的助佑，勢力極其強盛。[烏齊雅越職受罰]
16 But when Uzziah grew powerful, his arrogance led to his own destruction. He was unfaithful to the LORD his God, for he entered the temple of the LORD to burn incense on the altar of incense.
他勢力強大了，便心高氣傲，以致自毀前途，竟敢冒犯上主他的天主，擅進上主的正殿，企圖在香壇上焚香。
17 Then Azariah the priest, along with eighty brave priests of the LORD, went in after him.
大司祭阿匝黎雅和八十個上主的勇敢司祭隨後進去，
18 They took their stand against King Uzziah and said, “Uzziah, you have no right to offer incense to the LORD. Only the priests, the descendants of Aaron, are consecrated to burn incense. Leave the sanctuary, for you have acted unfaithfully; you will not receive honor from the LORD God.”
阻止烏齊雅王說：「烏齊雅，給上主焚香不是你的事，而是亞郎子孫司祭的事，他們是受祝聖為行焚香禮的；請由聖殿裏出去，因為你越權，在上主天主面前也沒有光榮。」
19 Uzziah, with a censer in his hand to offer incense, was enraged. But while he raged against the priests in their presence in the house of the LORD before the altar of incense, leprosy broke out on his forehead.
烏齊雅發怒，手持香爐要獻香；他向司祭發怒時，就在上主殿內香壇旁，當著司祭面前，他的額上突然出現了癩病。
20 When Azariah the chief priest and all the priests turned to him and saw his leprous forehead, they rushed him out. Indeed, he himself hurried to get out, because the LORD had afflicted him.
大司祭阿匝黎雅和所有的司祭望著他，見他額上出現了癩病，便促使他出去；他自己便急忙出去，因為上主打擊了他。
21 So King Uzziah was a leper until the day of his death. He lived in isolation, leprous and cut off from the house of the LORD, while his son Jotham had charge of the royal palace to govern the people of the land.
烏齊雅身患癩病一直到死；因為他身患癩病，獨住在一間隔離的房裏，不能進入上主的殿。他的兒子約堂掌管朝廷，統治國家的百姓。
22 As for the rest of the acts of Uzziah, from beginning to end, they are recorded by the prophet Isaiah son of Amoz.
烏齊雅前後其餘的事蹟，都由阿摩茲的兒子依撒意亞先知記了下來。
23 And Uzziah rested with his fathers and was buried near them in a field of burial that belonged to the kings; for the people said, “He was a leper.” And his son Jotham reigned in his place.
烏黎雅與祖先同眠，因為人說他有癩病，所以只將他葬在王陵田間，祖先之旁；他的兒子約堂繼位為王。
