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.
Segenap bangsa Yehuda mengambil Uzia, yang masih berumur enam belas tahun dan menobatkan dia menjadi raja menggantikan ayahnya, Amazia.
2 He was the builder of Eloth, which he got back for Judah after the death of the king.
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 was ruling in Jerusalem for fifty-two years; his mother's name was Jechiliah of 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 He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, as his father Amaziah had done.
Ia melakukan apa yang benar di mata TUHAN, tepat seperti yang dilakukan Amazia, ayahnya.
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.
Ia mencari Allah selama hidup Zakharia, yang mengajarnya supaya takut akan Allah. Dan selama ia mencari TUHAN, Allah membuat segala usahanya berhasil.
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.
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 And God gave him help against the Philistines, and against the Arabians living in Gur-baal, and against the Meunim.
Allah menolongnya terhadap orang Filistin, dan terhadap orang Arab yang tinggal di Gur-Baal, dan terhadap orang Meunim.
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.
Orang-orang Amon membayar upeti kepada Uzia. Namanya termasyhur sampai ke Mesir, karena kekuatannya yang besar.
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.
Uzia mendirikan menara di Yerusalem di atas Pintu Gerbang Sudut di atas Pintu Gerbang Lebak dan di atas Penjuru, serta mengokohkannya.
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.
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 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.
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 heads of families, the strong men of war, were two thousand, six hundred.
Kepala-kepala puak pahlawan-pahlawan yang gagah perkasa itu seluruhnya berjumlah dua ribu enam ratus orang.
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.
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 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.
Uzia memperlengkapi seluruh tentara itu dengan perisai, tombak, ketopong, baju zirah, busur dan batu umban.
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.
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 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.
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 And Azariah the priest went in after him, with eighty of the Lord's priests, who were strong men;
Tetapi imam Azarya mengikutinya dari belakang bersama-sama delapan puluh imam TUHAN, orang-orang yang tegas;
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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 Now the rest of the acts of Uzziah, first and last, were recorded by Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz.
Selebihnya dari riwayat Uzia, dari awal sampai akhir, ditulis oleh nabi Yesaya bin Amos.
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.
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.
