2 Chronicles 26
1 Then all the people of Judah took Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in place of his father Amaziah.
猶大眾民立亞瑪謝的兒子烏西雅接續他父作王，那時他年十六歲。（
2 He was the builder of Eloth, which he got back for Judah after the death of the king.
亞瑪謝與他列祖同睡之後，烏西雅收回以祿仍歸猶大，又重新修理。）
3 Uzziah was sixteen years old when he became king, and he was ruling in Jerusalem for fifty-two years; his mother's name was Jechiliah of Jerusalem.
烏西雅登基的時候年十六歲，在耶路撒冷作王五十二年。他母親名叫耶可利雅，是耶路撒冷人。
4 He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, as his father Amaziah had done.
烏西雅行耶和華眼中看為正的事，效法他父亞瑪謝一切所行的；
5 He gave himself to searching after God in the days of Zechariah, who made men wise in the fear of God; and as long as he was true to the Lord, God made things go well for him.
通曉上帝默示，撒迦利亞在世的時候，烏西雅定意尋求上帝；他尋求耶和華，上帝就使他亨通。
6 He went out and made war against the Philistines, pulling down the walls of Gath and Jabneh and Ashdod, and building towns in the country round Ashdod and among the Philistines.
他出去攻擊非利士人，拆毀了迦特城、雅比尼城，和亞實突城；在非利士人中，在亞實突境內，又建築了些城。
7 And God gave him help against the Philistines, and against the Arabians living in Gur-baal, and against the Meunim.
上帝幫助他攻擊非利士人和住在姑珥‧巴力的阿拉伯人，並米烏尼人。
8 The Ammonites gave offerings to Uzziah: and news of him went out as far as the limit of Egypt; for he became very great in power.
亞捫人給烏西雅進貢。他的名聲傳到埃及，因他甚是強盛。
9 Uzziah made towers in Jerusalem, at the doorway in the angle and at the doorway in the valley and at the turn of the wall, arming them.
烏西雅在耶路撒冷的角門和谷門，並城牆轉彎之處，建築城樓，且甚堅固；
10 And he put up towers in the waste land and made places for storing water, for he had much cattle, in the low hills and in the table land; and he had farmers and vine-keepers in the mountains and in the fertile land, for he was a lover of farming.
又在曠野與高原和平原，建築望樓，挖了許多井，因他的牲畜甚多；又在山地和佳美之地，有農夫和修理葡萄園的人，因為他喜悅農事。
11 In addition, Uzziah had an army of fighting-men who went out to war in bands, as they had been listed by Jeiel the scribe and Maaseiah the ruler, under the authority of Hananiah, one of the king's captains.
烏西雅又有軍兵，照書記耶利和官長瑪西雅所數點的，在王的一個將軍哈拿尼雅手下，分隊出戰。
12 The heads of families, the strong men of war, were two thousand, six hundred.
族長、大能勇士的總數共有二千六百人，
13 And under their orders was a trained army of three hundred and seven thousand, five hundred, of great strength in war, helping the king against any who came against him.
他們手下的軍兵共有三十萬七千五百人，都有大能，善於爭戰，幫助王攻擊仇敵。
14 And Uzziah had all these forces armed with body-covers and spears and head-covers and coats of metal and bows and stones for sending from leather bands.
烏西雅為全軍預備盾牌、槍、盔、甲、弓，和甩石的機弦，
15 And in Jerusalem he made machines, the invention of expert men, to be placed on the towers and angles of the walls for sending arrows and great stones. And his name was honoured far and wide; for he was greatly helped till he was strong.
又在耶路撒冷使巧匠做機器，安在城樓和角樓上，用以射箭發石。烏西雅的名聲傳到遠方；因為他得了非常的幫助，甚是強盛。
16 But when he had become strong, his heart was lifted up in pride, causing his destruction; and he did evil against the Lord his God; for he went into the Temple of the Lord for the purpose of burning perfumes on the altar of perfumes.
他既強盛，就心高氣傲，以致行事邪僻，干犯耶和華－他的上帝，進耶和華的殿，要在香壇上燒香。
17 And Azariah the priest went in after him, with eighty of the Lord's priests, who were strong men;
祭司亞撒利雅率領耶和華勇敢的祭司八十人，跟隨他進去。
18 And they made protests to Uzziah the king, and said to him, The burning of perfumes, Uzziah, is not your business but that of the priests, the sons of Aaron, who have been made holy for this work: go out of the holy place, for you have done wrong, and it will not be to your honour before God.
他們就阻擋烏西雅王，對他說：「烏西雅啊，給耶和華燒香不是你的事，乃是亞倫子孫承接聖職祭司的事。你出聖殿吧！因為你犯了罪。你行這事，耶和華上帝必不使你得榮耀。」
19 Then Uzziah was angry; and he had in his hand a vessel for burning perfume; and while his wrath was bitter against the priests, the mark of the leper's disease came out on his brow, before the eyes of the priests in the house of the Lord by the altar of perfumes.
烏西雅就發怒，手拿香爐要燒香。他向祭司發怒的時候，在耶和華殿中香壇旁眾祭司面前，額上忽然發出大痲瘋。
20 And Azariah, the chief priest, and all the priests, looking at him, saw the mark of the leper on his brow, and they sent him out quickly and he himself went out straight away, for the Lord's punishment had come on him.
大祭司亞撒利雅和眾祭司觀看，見他額上發出大痲瘋，就催他出殿；他自己也急速出去，因為耶和華降災與他。
21 So King Uzziah was a leper till the day of his death, living separately in his private house; for he was cut off from the house of God; and Jotham his son was ruling over his house, judging the people of the land.
烏西雅王長大痲瘋直到死日，因此住在別的宮裏，與耶和華的殿隔絕。他兒子約坦管理家事，治理國民。
22 Now the rest of the acts of Uzziah, first and last, were recorded by Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz.
烏西雅其餘的事，自始至終都是亞摩斯的兒子先知以賽亞所記的。
23 So Uzziah went to rest with his fathers; and they put his body into the earth in the field used for the resting-place of the kings, for they said, He is a leper: and Jotham his son became king in his place.
烏西雅與他列祖同睡，葬在王陵的田間他列祖的墳地裏；因為人說，他是長大痲瘋的。他兒子約坦接續他作王。
