2 Chronicles 26
1 And all the people of Juda took his son Ozias, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in the room of Amasias his father.
Da tog alt Judas Folk Ussia, da han var seksten Aar gammel, og de gjorde ham til Konge i hans Faders Amazias Sted.
2 He built Ailath, and restored it to the dominion of Juda, after that the king slept with his fathers.
Han byggede Eloth og bragte den til Juda igen, efter at Kongen laa hos sine Fædre.
3 Ozias was sixteen years old when he began to reign, and he reigned two and fifty years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Jechelia of Jerusalem.
Ussia var seksten Aar gammel, der han blev Konge, og regerede to og halvtredsindstyve Aar i Jerusalem; og hans Moders Navn var Jekolia fra Jerusalem.
4 And he did that which was right in the eyes of the Lord, according to all that Amasias his father had done.
Og han gjorde det, som var ret for Herrens Øjne, efter alt det, som hans Fader Amazia gjorde.
5 And he sought the Lord in the days of Zacharias that understood and saw God: and as long as he sought the Lord, he directed him in all things.
Og han søgte Gud i Sakarias Dage, og denne forstod sig paa Guds Syner; og i de Dage, han søgte Herren, gav Gud ham Lykke.
6 Moreover he went forth and fought against the Philistines, and broke down the wall of Geth, and the wall of Jabnia, and the wall of Azotus: and he built towns in Azotus, and among the Philistines.
Thi han drog ud og stred imod Filisterne og nedrev Murene i Gath og Murene i Jabne og Murene i Asdod og byggede Stæder ved Asdod og iblandt Filisterne.
7 And God helped him against the Philistines, and against the Arabians, that dwelt in Gurbaal, and against the Ammonites.
Og Gud hjalp ham imod Filisterne og imod de Araber, som boede i Gur-Baal, og imod Meuniterne.
8 And the ammonites gave gifts to Ozias: and his name was spread abroad even to the entrance of Egypt for his frequent victories.
Og Ammoniterne gave Ussia Skænk, og han blev navnkundig indtil Ægypten, thi han blev saare mægtig.
9 And Ozias built towers in Jerusalem over the gate of the corner, and over the gate of the valley, and the rest, in the same side of the wall, and fortified them.
Tilmed byggede Ussia Taarne i Jerusalem ved Hjørneporten og ved Dalporten og paa Hjørnet og befæstede dem.
10 And he built towers in the wilderness, and dug many cisterns, for he had much cattle both in the plains, and in the waste of the desert: he had also vineyards and dressers of vines in the mountains, and in Carmel: for he was a man that loved husbandry.
Han byggede og Taarne i Ørken og udhuggede mange Brønde; thi han havde meget Kvæg, baade i Lavlandet og paa Sletten, Agerdyrkere og Vingaardsmænd paa Bjergene og paa de frugtbare Marker; thi han var en Elsker af Jordbrug.
11 And the army of his fighting men, that went out to war, was under the hand of Jehiel the scribe, and Maasias the doctor, and under the hand of Henanias, who was one of the king’s captains.
Og Ussia havde en Hær, som kunde føre Krig, og som tropvis drog ud i Strid, efter det Mandtal, som var optaget af Skriveren Jejel og af Fogeden Maeseja under Tilsyn af Hanania, en af Kongens Øverster.
12 And the whole number of the chiefs by the families of valiant men were two thousand six hundred.
Det hele Tal af de Øverste for Fædrenehusene, af de vældige til Strid, var to Tusinde og seks Hundrede.
13 And the whole army under them three hundred and seven thousand five hundred: who were fit for war, and fought for the king against the enemy.
Og Stridshæren under deres Haand var tre Hundrede Tusinde og syv Tusinde og fem Hundrede, som kunde føre Krig med vældig Kraft til at hjælpe Kongen imod Fjenden.
14 And Ozias prepared for them, that is, for the whole army, shields, and spears, and helmets, and coats of mail, and bows, and slings to cast stones.
Og Ussia beredte for dem, for den ganske Hær, Skjolde og Spyd og Hjelme og Pansere og Buer og Slyngestene.
15 And he made in Jerusalem engines of diverse kinds, which he placed in the towers, and in the corners of the walls, to shoot arrows, and great stones: and his name went forth far abroad, for the Lord helped him, and had strengthened him.
Han indrettede ogsaa i Jerusalem kunstige Krigsredskaber, udtænkte af Kunstnere, for at sætte dem paa Taarnene og paa Hjørnerne, for at udskyde Pile og store Stene; og hans Navn kom ud indtil langt fraliggende Steder, fordi han vidunderligt blev hjulpen, indtil han blev stærk.
16 But when he was made strong, his heart was lifted up to his destruction, and he neglected the Lord his God: and going into the temple of the Lord, he had a mind to burn incense upon the altar of incense.
Men der han var bleven stærk, ophøjede hans Hjerte sig, indtil han handlede fordærveligt, og han forgreb sig imod Herren sin Gud og gik ind i Herrens Tempel for at gøre Røgelse paa Røgofferalteret.
17 And immediately Azarias the priest going in after him, and with him fourscore priests of the Lord, most valiant men,
Men Asaria, Præsten, og firsindstyve Herrens Præster med ham, duelige Folk, gik ind efter ham.
18 Withstood the king and said: It doth not belong to thee, Ozias, to burn incense to the Lord, but to the priests, that is, to the sons of Aaron, who are consecrated for this ministry: go out of the sanctuary, do not despise: for this thing shall not be accounted to thy glory by the Lord God.
Og de stode Kong Ussia imod og sagde til ham: Ussia! at gøre Røgoffer for Herren hører ikke dig til, men Præsterne, Arons Børn, som ere helligede til at gøre Røgoffer; gak ud af Helligdommen, thi du forgriber dig, og det bliver dig ikke til Ære for Gud Herren.
19 And Ozias was angry, and holding in his hand the censer to burn incense, threatened the priests. And presently there rose a leprosy in his forehead before the priests, in the house of the Lord at the altar of incense.
Da blev Ussia vred, og han havde et Røgelsekar i Haanden til at gøre Røgoffer; og som han blev vred paa Præsterne, da brød Spedalskheden frem i hans Pande i Præsternes Paasyn i Herrens Hus ved Røgofferalteret.
20 And Azarias the high priest, and all the rest of the priests looked upon him, and saw the leprosy in his forehead, and they made haste to thrust him out. Yea himself also being frightened, hasted to go out, because he had quickly felt the stroke of the Lord.
Og Asaria, den Ypperstepræst, og alle Præsterne vendte Ansigtet imod ham, og se, da var han spedalsk i sin Pande, og de hastede med ham derfra; ja, han skyndte sig selv ogsaa at gaa ud, thi Herren havde slaget ham.
21 And Ozias the king was a leper unto the day of his death, and he dwelt in a house apart being full of the leprosy, for which he had been cast out of the house of the Lord. And Joatham his son governed the king’s house, and judged the people of the land.
Saa var Kong Ussia spedalsk indtil sin Dødsdag og boede spedalsk udi et særskilt Hus, thi han var udelukket fra Herrens Hus; og Jotham, hans Søn, var over Kongens Hus og dømte Folket i Landet.
22 But the rest of the acts of Ozias first and last were written by Isaias the son of Amos, the prophet.
Men det øvrige af Ussias Handeler, de første og de sidste, har Profeten Esajas, Amoz's Søn, beskrevet.
23 And Ozias slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the field of the royal sepulchres, because he was a leper: and Joatham his son reigned in his stead.
Og Ussia laa med sine Fædre, og de begrove ham hos hans Fædre i den Begravelsesager, som hørte Kongerne til; thi de sagde: Han er spedalsk; og Jotham, hans Søn, blev Konge i hans Sted!
