2 Chronicles 26
1 And all the people of Judah took Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king instead 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 It was he that built Eloth, and restored it to Judah, after the king slept with his fathers.
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 began to reign; and he reigned fifty-two years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Jecholiah 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 And he did what was right in the sight of Jehovah, according to all that 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 And he sought God in the days of Zechariah, who had understanding in the visions of God; and in the days that he sought Jehovah, God made him to prosper.
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 And he went forth and fought against the Philistines, and broke down the wall of Gath, and the wall of Jabneh, and the wall of Ashdod; and built cities about 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 helped him against the Philistines, and against the Arabians that dwelt in Gur-Baal, and the Maonites.
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 And the Ammonites gave gifts to Uzziah: and his name spread abroad to the entrance of Egypt; for he became exceeding strong.
亞捫人給烏西雅進貢。他的名聲傳到埃及，因他甚是強盛。
9 And Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem at the corner gate, and at the valley gate, and at the angle, and fortified 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 built towers in the desert and digged many cisterns; for he had much cattle, both in the lowland and on the plateau, husbandmen [also] and vinedressers on the mountains and in Carmel; for he loved husbandry.
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 And Uzziah had an army of fighting men, that went out to war by bands, according to the number of their account by the hand of Jeiel the scribe and Maaseiah the ruler, under the hand 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 whole number of the chief fathers of the mighty men of valour was two thousand six hundred.
族長、大能勇士的總數共有二千六百人，
13 And under their hand was an army-host of three hundred and seven thousand five hundred, that made war with mighty power to help the king against the enemy.
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 prepared for them, throughout the host, shields, and spears, and helmets, and coats of mail, and bows, and even slinging-stones.
烏西雅為全軍預備盾牌、槍、盔、甲、弓，和甩石的機弦，
15 And he made in Jerusalem machines invented by skilful men, to be upon the towers and upon the bulwarks, wherewith to shoot arrows and great stones. And his name spread far abroad; for he was marvellously helped, till he became 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 became strong his heart was lifted up to [his] downfall; and he transgressed against Jehovah his God, and went into the temple of Jehovah to burn incense upon the altar of incense.
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, and with him priests of Jehovah, eighty valiant 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 withstood Uzziah the king, and said to him, It is not for thee, Uzziah, to burn incense to Jehovah, but for the priests the sons of Aaron, that are consecrated to burn incense. Go out of the sanctuary; for thou hast transgressed; neither shall it be for thine honour from Jehovah Elohim.
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 And Uzziah was wroth; and he had a censer in his hand to burn incense; and while he was wroth with the priests, the leprosy rose up in his forehead before the priests in the house of Jehovah, beside the incense altar.
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 looked upon him, and behold, he was leprous in his forehead, and they thrust him out from thence; even he himself hasted to go out, because Jehovah had smitten 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 And Uzziah the king was a leper to the day of his death, and dwelt in a separate house, being a leper; for he was cut off from the house of Jehovah. And Jotham his son was over the king's 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 And the rest of the acts of Uzziah, first and last, did the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz write.
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 And Uzziah slept with his fathers; and they buried him with his fathers in the burial-ground of the kings, for they said, He is a leper. And Jotham his son reigned in his stead.
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。
