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.
Segenap bangsa Yehuda mengambil Uzia, yang masih berumur enam belas tahun dan menobatkan dia menjadi raja menggantikan ayahnya, Amazia.
2 Uzziah was the one who rebuilt Eloth and restored it to Judah after King Amaziah rested with his fathers.
Ia memperkuat Elot dan mengembalikannya kepada Yehuda, sesudah raja mendapat perhentian bersama-sama dengan nenek moyangnya.
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.
Uzia berumur enam belas tahun pada waktu ia menjadi raja dan lima puluh dua tahun lamanya ia memerintah di Yerusalem. Nama ibunya ialah Yekholya, dari Yerusalem.
4 And he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, just as his father Amaziah had done.
Ia melakukan apa yang benar di mata TUHAN, tepat seperti yang dilakukan Amazia, ayahnya.
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.
Ia mencari Allah selama hidup Zakharia, yang mengajarnya supaya takut akan Allah. Dan selama ia mencari TUHAN, Allah membuat segala usahanya berhasil.
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.
Maka majulah ia berperang melawan orang-orang Filistin dan membongkar tembok Gat, Yabne dan Asdod, lalu mendirikan kota-kota di sekitar Asdod dan di lain-lain wilayah orang Filistin.
7 God helped him against the Philistines, against the Arabs living in Gur-baal, and against the Meunites.
Allah menolongnya terhadap orang Filistin, dan terhadap orang Arab yang tinggal di Gur-Baal, dan terhadap orang Meunim.
8 The Ammonites brought tribute to Uzziah, and his fame spread as far as the border of Egypt, for he had become exceedingly powerful.
Orang-orang Amon membayar upeti kepada Uzia. Namanya termasyhur sampai ke Mesir, karena kekuatannya yang besar.
9 Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem at the Corner Gate, the Valley Gate, and the angle in the wall, and he fortified them.
Uzia mendirikan menara di Yerusalem di atas Pintu Gerbang Sudut di atas Pintu Gerbang Lebak dan di atas Penjuru, serta mengokohkannya.
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.
Ia mendirikan juga menara-menara di padang gurun dan menggali banyak sumur, karena banyak ternaknya, baik di Dataran Rendah maupun di Dataran Tinggi. Juga ia mempunyai petani-petani dan penjaga-penjaga kebun anggur, di gunung-gunung dan di tanah yang subur, karena ia suka pada pertanian.
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.
Selain itu Uzia mempunyai tentara yang sanggup berperang, yang maju berperang dalam laskar-laskar menurut jumlah anak buah yang dicatat oleh panitera Yeiel dan penata usaha Maaseya, di bawah pimpinan Hananya, salah seorang panglima raja.
12 The total number of family leaders of the mighty men of valor was 2,600.
Kepala-kepala puak pahlawan-pahlawan yang gagah perkasa itu seluruhnya berjumlah dua ribu enam ratus orang.
13 Under their authority was an army of 307,500 trained for war, a powerful force to support the king against his enemies.
Di bawah pimpinan mereka terdapat satu balatentara, terdiri dari tiga ratus tujuh ribu lima ratus orang yang gagah perkasa dalam berperang, untuk membantu raja dalam menghadapi musuh.
14 Uzziah supplied the entire army with shields, spears, helmets, armor, bows, and slingstones.
Uzia memperlengkapi seluruh tentara itu dengan perisai, tombak, ketopong, baju zirah, busur dan batu umban.
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.
Ia membuat juga di Yerusalem alat-alat perang, ciptaan seorang ahli, yang dapat menembakkan anak panah dan batu besar, untuk ditempatkan di atas menara-menara dan penjuru-penjuru. Nama raja itu termasyhur sampai ke negeri-negeri yang jauh, karena ia ditolong dengan ajaib sehingga menjadi kuat.
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.
Setelah ia menjadi kuat, ia menjadi tinggi hati sehingga ia melakukan hal yang merusak. Ia berubah setia kepada TUHAN, Allahnya, dan memasuki bait TUHAN untuk membakar ukupan di atas mezbah pembakaran ukupan.
17 Then Azariah the priest, along with eighty brave priests of the LORD, went in after him.
Tetapi imam Azarya mengikutinya dari belakang bersama-sama delapan puluh imam TUHAN, orang-orang yang tegas;
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.”
mereka berdiri di depan raja Uzia dan berkata kepadanya: "Hai, Uzia, engkau tidak berhak membakar ukupan kepada TUHAN, hanyalah imam-imam keturunan Harun yang telah dikuduskan yang berhak membakar ukupan! Keluarlah dari tempat kudus ini, karena engkau telah berubah setia! Engkau tidak akan memperoleh kehormatan dari TUHAN Allah karena hal ini."
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.
Tetapi Uzia, dengan bokor ukupan di tangannya untuk dibakar menjadi marah. Sementara amarahnya meluap terhadap para imam, timbullah penyakit kusta pada dahinya di hadapan para imam di rumah TUHAN, dekat mezbah pembakaran ukupan.
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.
Imam kepala Azarya dan semua imam lainnya memandang kepadanya, dan sesungguhnya, ia sakit kusta pada dahinya. Cepat-cepat mereka mengusirnya dari sana, dan ia sendiri tergesa-gesa keluar, karena TUHAN telah menimpakan tulah kepadanya.
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.
Raja Uzia sakit kusta sampai kepada hari matinya, dan sebagai orang yang sakit kusta ia tinggal dalam sebuah rumah pengasingan, karena ia dikucilkan dari rumah TUHAN. Dan Yotam, anaknya, mengepalai istana raja dan menjalankan pemerintahan atas rakyat negeri itu.
22 As for the rest of the acts of Uzziah, from beginning to end, they are recorded by the prophet Isaiah son of Amoz.
Selebihnya dari riwayat Uzia, dari awal sampai akhir, ditulis oleh nabi Yesaya bin Amos.
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.
Kemudian Uzia mendapat perhentian bersama-sama dengan nenek moyangnya, dan ia dikuburkan di samping nenek moyangnya di ladang dekat pekuburan raja-raja, karena ia berpenyakit kusta, kata orang. Maka Yotam, anaknya, menjadi raja menggantikan dia.
