Chronicles II 26
1 Then all the people of the land took Ozias, and he was sixteen years old, and they made him king in the room of his father Amasias.
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 Aelath, he recovered it to Juda, after the king slept with his fathers.
Han byggede Eloth og bragte den til Juda igen, efter at Kongen laa hos sine Fædre.
3 Ozias began to reign at the age of sixteen years, and he reigned fifty-two years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name 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 sight of the Lord, according to all that Amasias his father did.
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, who understood the fear of the Lord; and in his days he sought the Lord, and the Lord prospered him.
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 And he went out and fought against the Philistines, and pulled down the walls of Geth, and the walls of Jabner, and the walls of Azotus, and he built cities [near] 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 the Lord strengthened him against the Philistines, and against the Arabians that lived on the rock, and against the Minaeans.
Og Gud hjalp ham imod Filisterne og imod de Araber, som boede i Gur-Baal, og imod Meuniterne.
8 And the Minaeans gave gifts to Ozias; and his fame spread as far as the entering in of Egypt, for he strengthened [himself] exceedingly.
Og Ammoniterne gave Ussia Skænk, og han blev navnkundig indtil Ægypten, thi han blev saare mægtig.
9 And Ozias built towers in Jerusalem, both at the gate of the corners, and at the valley gate, and at the corners and he 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 wells, for he had many cattle in the low country and in the plain; and vinedressers in the mountain country and in Carmel: for he was a husbandman.
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 Ozias had a host of warriors, and that went out orderly to war, and returned orderly in number; and their number was [made] by the hand of Jeiel the scribe, and Maasias the judge, by the hand of Ananias the king's deputy.
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 The whole number of the chiefs of families of the mighty men of war [was] 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 with them was a warrior force, three hundred thousand and seven thousand and five hundred: these waged war mightily to help the king against [his] enemies.
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, [even] for all the host, shields, and spears, and helmets, and breastplates, and bows, and slings for 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 machines invented by a wise contriver, to be upon the towers and upon the corners, to cast darts and great stones: and [the fame] of their preparation was heard at a distance; for he was wonderfully helped, till he was strong.
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 And when he was strong, his heart was lifted up to his destruction; and he transgressed against the Lord his God, and went into the temple of the Lord to turn incense on 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 there went in after him Azarias the priest, and with him eighty priests of the Lord, mighty men.
Men Asaria, Præsten, og firsindstyve Herrens Præster med ham, duelige Folk, gik ind efter ham.
18 And they withstood Ozias the king, and said to him, [It is] not for you, Ozias, to burn incense to the Lord, but only for the priests the sons of Aaron, who are consecrated to sacrifice: go forth of the sanctuary, for you have departed from the Lord; and this shall not be for glory to you from 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 in his hand [was] the censer to burn incense in the temple: and when he was angry with the priests, then the leprosy rose up in his forehead before the priests in the house of the Lord, over 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 chief priest, and the [other] priests, turned [to look] at him, and, behold, he [was] leprous in his forehead; and they got him hastily out thence, for he also hasted to go out, because the Lord had rebuked him.
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 to the day of his death, and he lived [as] a leper in a separate house; for he was cut off from the house of the Lord: and Joathan his son [was set] over his kingdom, judging 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 And the rest of the acts of Ozias, the first and the last, [are] written by Jessias 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 with his fathers in the field of the burial [place] of the kings, for they said, He is 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!
