2 Chronicles 26
1 Then all the people of Judah appointed his son, Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, as king in place of his father, Amaziah.
[烏齊雅登極]全猶大人民立烏齊雅為王，繼承他父親阿瑪責雅，那時他十六歲。
2 He built up Eloth, and he restored it to the dominion of Judah. After this, the king slept with his fathers.
先王與祖先同眠以後，烏齊雅將厄拉特收回仍屬猶大，加以重建。
3 Uzziah was sixteen years old when he had begun to reign. And he reigned for fifty-two years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Jecoliah, from Jerusalem.
烏齊雅登基時纔十六歲，在耶路撒冷作王凡五十二年；他母親名叫耶苛里雅，是耶路撒冷人。
4 And he did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, in accord with all that his father, Amaziah, had done.
烏齊雅行了上主視為正義的事完全像他父親阿瑪責雅所行的一樣。
5 And he sought the Lord, during the days of Zechariah, who understood and saw God. And while he was seeking the Lord, he directed him in all things.
則加黎雅有生之日，由於他指導君王敬畏天主，所以君王時常求天主；在他尋求上主的時期內，天主使他事事順利。[國勢昌盛]
6 Indeed, he went out and fought against the Philistines. And he destroyed the wall of Gath, and the wall of Jabneh, and the wall of Ashdod. Also, he built towns in Ashdod, and among the Philistines.
他出兵攻打了培肋舍特人，破壞了加特、雅貝乃和阿市多得的城垣，在阿市多得境內和培肋舍特人中建築了一些城池。
7 And God helped him against the Philistines, and against the Arabians, who were living in Gurbaal, and against the Ammonites.
天主協助他攻打了培肋舍特人和住在古爾巴耳的阿剌伯人以及瑪紅人。
8 And the Ammonites weighed out gifts to Uzziah. And his name became widely known, even to the entrance of Egypt, because of his frequent victories.
阿孟子民也向烏齊雅進貢，由於他的勢力極其強大，聲譽傳至埃及邊境。
9 And Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem, above the gate of the corner, and above the gate of the valley, and others on the same side of the wall, and he fortified them.
烏齊雅在耶路撒冷的角門、谷門以及城角，建築了堡壘，加以設防。
10 Then he also constructed towers in the wilderness, and dug many cisterns, because he had much cattle, both in the plains and in the starkness of the wilderness. Also, he had vineyards and dressers of vines in the mountains and at Carmel. Certainly, he was a man devoted to agriculture.
又在曠野修築了一些堡壘，開鑿了許多儲水池，因為他在平原和高原有很多的牲畜；又因他喜愛農業，所以在山地和田園裏，僱用了許多農夫和栽培葡萄的人。
11 Now the army of his warriors, who would go forth to battle, was under the hand of Jeiel, the scribe, and Maaseiah, the teacher, and under the hand of Hananiah, who was among the king’s commanders.
烏齊雅還備有能出征作戰的軍旅，照書記耶依耳和監察官瑪阿色雅所編定的數目，由君王的一位將帥哈納尼雅指揮。
12 And the entire number of the leaders, by the families of strong men, was two thousand six hundred.
這些英勇戰士中的族長，總數為二千六百人。
13 And the entire army under them was three hundred and seven thousand five hundred, who were fit for war, and who fought on behalf of the king against the adversaries.
他們屬下的軍隊計有三萬七千五百人，都是善於作戰，協助君王征討敵人的勇士。
14 Also, Uzziah prepared for them, that is, for the entire army, shields, and spears, and helmets, and breastplates, and bows, as well as slings for the casting of stones.
烏齊雅給他們全隊的人配備了盾牌、長槍、盔甲、弓箭和彈石。
15 And in Jerusalem, he made various kinds of machines, which he placed in the towers, and at the corners of the walls, so as to shoot arrows and large stones. And his name went forth to far away places, for the Lord was helping him and had strengthened him.
在耶路撒冷又叫巧匠設製機械，放在堡壘和城角上，發射矢箭和大石彈。烏齊雅的名聲傳到遠方，因為他獲得了奇異的助佑，勢力極其強盛。[烏齊雅越職受罰]
16 But when he had become strong, his heart was lifted up, even to his own destruction. And he neglected the Lord his God. And entering into the temple of the Lord, he intended to burn incense upon the altar of incense.
他勢力強大了，便心高氣傲，以致自毀前途，竟敢冒犯上主他的天主，擅進上主的正殿，企圖在香壇上焚香。
17 And entering immediately after him, Azariah the priest, and with him eighty priests of the Lord, very valiant men,
大司祭阿匝黎雅和八十個上主的勇敢司祭隨後進去，
18 withstood the king, and they said: “It is not your office, Uzziah, to burn incense to the Lord; rather, it is the office of the priests, that is, of the sons of Aaron, who have been consecrated for this same ministry. Depart from the sanctuary, otherwise you will be in contempt. For this act will not be reputed to you for your glory by the Lord God.”
阻止烏齊雅王說：「烏齊雅，給上主焚香不是你的事，而是亞郎子孫司祭的事，他們是受祝聖為行焚香禮的；請由聖殿裏出去，因為你越權，在上主天主面前也沒有光榮。」
19 And Uzziah, having become angry, while holding in his hand the censer so that he might burn incense, threatened the priests. And immediately a leprosy arose on his forehead, in the sight of the priests, in the house of the Lord, at the altar of incense.
烏齊雅發怒，手持香爐要獻香；他向司祭發怒時，就在上主殿內香壇旁，當著司祭面前，他的額上突然出現了癩病。
20 And when the high priest Azariah, and all the rest of the priests, had gazed upon him, they saw the leprosy on his forehead, and they hurried to expel him. Then too, he himself, becoming terrified, rushed to depart, because immediately he had become aware of the wound of the Lord.
大司祭阿匝黎雅和所有的司祭望著他，見他額上出現了癩病，便促使他出去；他自己便急忙出去，因為上主打擊了他。
21 And so, king Uzziah was a leper, even until the day of his death. And he lived in a separate house, being full of leprosy, because of which he had been ejected from the house of the Lord. Then Jotham, his son, directed the house of the king, and he was judging the people of the land.
烏齊雅身患癩病一直到死；因為他身患癩病，獨住在一間隔離的房裏，不能進入上主的殿。他的兒子約堂掌管朝廷，統治國家的百姓。
22 But the rest of the words of Uzziah, the first and the last, were written by the prophet Isaiah, the son of Amoz.
烏齊雅前後其餘的事蹟，都由阿摩茲的兒子依撒意亞先知記了下來。
23 And Uzziah slept with his fathers. And they buried him in the field of the royal sepulchers, because he was a leper. And Jotham, his son, reigned in his place.
烏黎雅與祖先同眠，因為人說他有癩病，所以只將他葬在王陵田間，祖先之旁；他的兒子約堂繼位為王。
