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.
Tada sav judejski narod uze Uziju, komu bijaše šesnaest godina, i zakraljiše ga namjesto njegova oca Amasje.
2 Uzziah was the one who rebuilt Eloth and restored it to Judah after King Amaziah rested with his fathers.
On je opet sagradio Elat vrativši ga Judeji, pošto je kralj počinuo kod svojih otaca.
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.
Uziji bijaše šesnaest godina kad se zakraljio, a kraljevao je pedeset i dvije godine u Jeruzalemu. Mati mu se zvala Jekolija, a bila je iz Jeruzalema.
4 And he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, just as his father Amaziah had done.
Činio je što je pravo u Jahvinim očima, sasvim kao i njegov otac Amasja.
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.
Tražio je Boga za života Zaharije, koji ga je učio Božjem strahu; dokle je god tražio Jahvu, davao mu je Bog sreću.
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.
On je izišao i zavojštio na Filistejce, srušio zid Gata, zid Jabne i zid Ašdoda; sagradio je mjesta po Ašdodu i Filisteji.
7 God helped him against the Philistines, against the Arabs living in Gur-baal, and against the Meunites.
Bog mu je pomogao protiv Filistejaca i protiv Arapa, koji su živjeli u Gur Baalu, i protiv Meunjana.
8 The Ammonites brought tribute to Uzziah, and his fame spread as far as the border of Egypt, for he had become exceedingly powerful.
Amonci su davali danak Uziji, a njegov se glas pronio do Egipta, jer se bijaše vrlo osilio.
9 Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem at the Corner Gate, the Valley Gate, and the angle in the wall, and he fortified them.
Uzija je sagradio kule u Jeruzalemu kod Ugaonih vrata, kod Dolinskih vrata i na uglu te ih utvrdio.
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.
Sagradio je i u pustinji kule i iskopao mnogo studenaca, jer je imao mnogo stoke i u Šefeli i po Ravnici, ratara i vinogradara u gorama i vrtovima, jer je volio poljodjelstvo.
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.
Uzija je imao vojsku vještu boju koja je išla u rat u četama po broju kako ih je izbrojio tajnik Jeiel i nadzornik Maasja pod upravom Hananije, jednoga od kraljevih knezova.
12 The total number of family leaders of the mighty men of valor was 2,600.
Svega je na broj bilo, obiteljskih glavara, hrabrih junaka, dvije tisuće i šest stotina.
13 Under their authority was an army of 307,500 trained for war, a powerful force to support the king against his enemies.
Pod njihovom je upravom bilo silne vojske trista sedam tisuća i pet stotina boju vičnih ratnika da pomažu kralju protiv neprijatelja.
14 Uzziah supplied the entire army with shields, spears, helmets, armor, bows, and slingstones.
Uzija je pripravio svoj vojsci štitove, koplja, kacige, oklope, lukove i kamenje za praćke.
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.
Napravio je u Jeruzalemu vješto smišljene bojne sprave, iznašašće nekoga graditelja, da stoje na kulama i na kruništima, da bacaju strijele i veliko kamenje; pronio mu se glas nadaleko jer je uživao čudesnu pomoć sve dok se nije osilio.
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.
Ali kad se osilio, uzobijestilo mu se srce dotle da se pokvario te se iznevjerio Jahvi, svome Bogu, jer je ušao u Jahvin Hekal i počeo prinositi kad na kadionom žrtveniku.
17 Then Azariah the priest, along with eighty brave priests of the LORD, went in after him.
Ali je za njim ušao svećenik Azarja i s njim osamdeset Jahvinih svećenika, čestitih ljudi.
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.”
Oni ustadoše na kralja Uziju govoreći: “Nije tvoje, Uzijo, da kadiš Jahvi, nego je to dužnost svećenika, Aronovih sinova, koji su posvećeni da kade. Izlazi iz Svetišta! Iznevjerio si se. I ne služi ti na čast pred Bogom Jahvom!”
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.
Tada se Uzija rasrdi držeći u ruci kadionicu da kadi; kad se rasrdio na svećenike, izbi mu guba na čelu pred svećenicima u Domu Jahvinu kraj kadionog žrtvenika.
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.
Kad ga svećenički poglavar Azarja i svi svećenici izbližega pogledaše, a ono, gle, izbila mu guba na čelu; brže ga otjeraše odande, a i on sam pohitje da iziđe jer ga Jahve bijaše udario.
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.
Kralj Uzija ostade gubav do smrti i stanovaše u odvojenoj kući, jer bijaše odstranjen od Doma Jahvina; njegov je sin Jotam bio upravitelj kraljevskoga dvora i sudio je puku zemlje.
22 As for the rest of the acts of Uzziah, from beginning to end, they are recorded by the prophet Isaiah son of Amoz.
Ostala Uzijina djela, od prvih do posljednjih, opisao je Amosov sin, prorok Izaija.
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.
Uzija je počinuo i sahranili su ga kraj njegovih otaca na polju kod kraljevske grobnice, rekavši: “Gubav je.” Na njegovo se mjesto zakraljio sin mu Jotam.
