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.
Alt Folket i Juda tog saa Uzzija, der da var seksten Aar gammel, og gjorde ham til Konge i hans Fader Amazjas Sted.
2 It was he that built Eloth, and restored it to Judah, after the king slept with his fathers.
Det var ham, der befæstede Elot og atter forenede det med Juda efter at Kongen havde lagt sig til Hvile hos sine Fædre.
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.
Uzzija var seksten Aar gammel da han blev Konge, og han herskede to og halvtredsindstyve Aar i Jerusalem. Hans Moder hed Jekolja og var fra Jerusalem.
4 And he did what was right in the sight of Jehovah, according to all that his father Amaziah had done.
Han gjorde, hvad der var ret i HERRENS Øjne, ganske som hans Fader Amazja;
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.
og han blev ved med at søge Gud, saa længe Zekarja, der havde undervist ham i Gudsfrygt, levede. Og saa længe han søgte HERREN, gav Gud ham Lykke.
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.
Han gjorde et Krigstog mod Filisterne og nedrev Bymurene i Gat, Jabne og Asdod og byggede Byer i Asdods Omraade og Filisterlandet.
7 And God helped him against the Philistines, and against the Arabians that dwelt in Gur-Baal, and the Maonites.
Gud hjalp ham mod Filisterne og Araberne, der boede i Gur-Ba'al og mod Me'uniterne.
8 And the Ammonites gave gifts to Uzziah: and his name spread abroad to the entrance of Egypt; for he became exceeding strong.
Ammoniterne svarede Uzzija Skat, og hans Ry naaede til Ægypten, thi han blev overmaade mægtig.
9 And Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem at the corner gate, and at the valley gate, and at the angle, and fortified them.
Og Uzzija byggede Taarne i Jerusalem ved Hjørneporten, Dalporten og Murhjørnet og befæstede dem.
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.
Fremdeles byggede han Taarne i Ørkenen og lod mange Cisterner udhugge, thi han havde store Hjorde baade i Lavlandet og paa Højsletten, der hos Agerdyrkere og Vingaardsmænd paa Bjergene og i Frugtlandet, thi han var ivrig Landmand.
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.
Og Uzzija havde en øvet Krigshær, der drog i Krig Deling for Deling i det Tal, der fremgik af Mønstringen, som Statsskriveren Je'uel og Retsskriveren Ma'aseja foretog under Tilsyn af Hananja, en at Kongens Øverster.
12 The whole number of the chief fathers of the mighty men of valour was two thousand six hundred.
Det fulde Tal paa de dygtige Krigere, som var Overhoveder for Fædrenehusene, var 2600.
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.
Under deres Befaling stod en Hærstyrke paa 307 500 krigsvante Folk i deres fulde Kraft til at hjælpe Kongen mod Fjenden.
14 And Uzziah prepared for them, throughout the host, shields, and spears, and helmets, and coats of mail, and bows, and even slinging-stones.
Uzzija udrustede hele Hæren med Skjolde, Spyd, Hjelme, Brynjer, Buer og Slyngesten.
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.
Ligeledes lod han i Jerusalem lave snildt udtænkte Krigsmaskiner, der opstilledes paa Taarnene og Murtinderne til at udslynge Pile og store Sten. Og hans Ry naaede viden om, thi paa underfuld Maade blev han hjulpet til stor Magt.
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.
Men da han var blevet mægtig, blev hans Hjerte overmodigt, saa han gjorde, hvad fordærveligt var; han handlede troløst mod HERREN sin Gud, idet han gik ind i HERRENS Helligdom for at brænde Røgelse paa Røgelsealteret.
17 And Azariah the priest went in after him, and with him priests of Jehovah, eighty valiant men;
Præsten Azarja fulgte efter ham, ledsaget af firsindstyve af HERRENS Præster, modige Mænd;
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.
og de traadte frem for Kong Uzzija og sagde til ham: »At ofre HERREN Røgelse tilkommer ikke dig, Uzzija, men Arons Sønner, Præsterne, som er helliget til at ofre Røgelse; gaa ud af Helligdommen, thi du har handlet troløst, og det tjener dig ikke til Ære for HERREN din Gud!«
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.
Uzzija, der holdt Røgelsekarret i Haanden for at brænde Røgelse, blev rasende; men som han rasede mod Præsterne, slog Spedalskhed ud paa hans Pande, medens han stod der over for Præsterne foran Røgelsealteret i HERRENS Hus;
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.
og da Ypperstepræsten Azarja og alle Præsterne vendte sig imod ham, se, da var han spedalsk i Panden. Saa førte de ham hastigt bort derfra, og selv fik han travlt med at komme ud, fordi HERREN havde ramt ham.
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.
Saa var Kong Uzzija spedalsk til sin Dødedag; og skønt spedalsk fik han Lov at blive boende i sit Hus, men var udelukket fra HERRENS Hus, medens hans Søn Jotam raadede i Kongens Palads og dømte Folket i Landet.
22 And the rest of the acts of Uzziah, first and last, did the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz write.
Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Uzzija fra først til sidst, har Profeten Esajas, Amoz's Søn, optegnet.
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.
Saa lagde han sig til Hvile hos sine Fædre, og man jordede ham hos hans Fædre paa den Mark, hvor Kongegravene var, under Hensyn til at han havde været spedalsk; og hans Søn Jotam blev Konge i hans Sted.
