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.
Då tog hele Juda folk Ussia, som var sexton åra gammal, och gjorde honom till Konung i hans faders Amazia stad.
2 He was the builder of Eloth, which he got back for Judah after the death of the king.
Han byggde Eloth, och lät det igenkomma till Juda, sedan Konungen afsomnad var med sina fäder.
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.
Sexton åra gammal var Ussia, då han Konung vardt, och regerade tu och femtio år i Jerusalem; hans moder het Jecholia af Jerusalem.
4 He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, as his father Amaziah had done.
Och han gjorde det Herranom väl behagade, såsom hans fader Amazia gjort hade.
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.
Och han sökte Gud, så länge Zacharia lefde, den läraren i Guds syner; och så länge han sökte Herren, lät honom Gud väl gå.
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.
Ty han drog ut, och stridde emot de Philisteer, och bröt neder murarna i Gath, och murarna i Jabne, och murarna i Asdod, och ibland de Philisteer.
7 And God gave him help against the Philistines, and against the Arabians living in Gur-baal, and against the Meunim.
Ty Gud halp honom emot de Philisteer, emot de Araber, dem i Gurbaal, och emot de Menniter.
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.
Och de Ammoniter gåfvo Ussia skänker, och han vardt namnkunnig allt intill der man kommer in i Egypten; ty han vardt ju starkare och starkare.
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.
Och Ussia byggde torn i Jerusalem på hörnportenom, och på dalportenom, och på annor hörn, och befäste dem.
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.
Han byggde ock slott i öknene, och grof många brunnar; ty han hade mycken boskap, både i dalar och slättmark, desslikes åkermän och vingårdsmän på bergen, och på Carmel; förty han hade lust till åkerverk.
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.
Och Ussia hade en magt till strid, af krigsmän som i här drogo, i tal räknade under Jegiels skrifvarens hand, och Maaseja befallningsmansens, under Hanania hand, den af Konungens öfverstar var.
12 The heads of families, the strong men of war, were two thousand, six hundred.
Och talet på de yppersta fäder af de starka örligsmän var tutusend och sexhundrad.
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.
Och under deras hand härsmagten trehundradtusend, och sjutusend och femhundrad, skickelige till strid i härskraft, till att hjelpa Konungenom emot fienderna.
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.
Och Ussia fick dem till hela hären sköldar, spjut, hjelmar, pansar, bågar, och slungor till att kasta sten med;
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.
Och gjorde i Jerusalem bröstvärn konsteliga, som skulle vara på tornen och hörnen, till att der utskjuta med pil och stora stenar. Och hans rykte kom vidt ut, derföre, att honom besynnerliga hulpet vardt, tilldess han mägtig blef.
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.
Och då han var mägtig vorden, hof hans hjerta sig upp till hans förderf; ty han förtog sig på Herranom sinom Gud, och gick in i Herrans tempel, till att röka på rökaltaret.
17 And Azariah the priest went in after him, with eighty of the Lord's priests, who were strong men;
Men Asaria Presten gick efter honom, och åttatio Herrans Prester med honom, starke män;
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.
Och stodo emot Konung Ussia, och sade till honom: Det hörer icke dig till, Ussia, att röka för Herranom; utan Prestomen, Aarons barnom, som till att röka helgade äro. Gack härutu helgedomenom; ty du förtager dig, och det kommer dig till ingen äro för Herranom Gud.
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.
Men Ussia vardt vred, och hade ett rökelsekar i handene; och som han trätte med Presterna, gick spitelska ut i hans änne, för Presterna i Herrans hus, inför rökaltaret.
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.
Och Asaria öfverste Presten vände sig till honom, och alle Presterna; och si, då var han spitelsk i hans änne; och de drefvo honom dädan. Skyndade han sig ock sjelf ut; ty hans plåga var af Herranom.
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.
Alltså var Konung Ussia spitelsk allt intill sin död, och bodde uti ett fritt hus spitelsk; ty han vardt utdrifven af Herrans hus. Men Jotham hans son stod Konungshuset före, och dömde folket i landena.
22 Now the rest of the acts of Uzziah, first and last, were recorded by Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz.
Hvad nu mer af Ussia sägande är, både det första och det sista, hafver den Propheten Esaia, Amos son, skrifvit.
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.
Och Ussia afsomnade med sina fäder, och de begrofvo honom med sina fäder i åkrenom när Konungagrafvarna; ty de sade: Han är spitelsk. Och Jotham hans son vardt Konung i hans stad.
