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.
Alt Folket i Juda tog saa Uzzija, der da var seksten Aar gammel, og gjorde ham til Konge i hans Fader Amazjas Sted.
2 He built Aelath, he recovered it to Juda, 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 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.
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 that which was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that Amasias his father did.
Han gjorde, hvad der var ret i HERRENS Øjne, ganske som hans Fader Amazja;
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 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 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.
Han gjorde et Krigstog mod Filisterne og nedrev Bymurene i Gat, Jabne og Asdod og byggede Byer i Asdods Omraade og Filisterlandet.
7 And the Lord strengthened him against the Philistines, and against the Arabians that lived on the rock, and against the Minaeans.
Gud hjalp ham mod Filisterne og Araberne, der boede i Gur-Ba'al og mod Me'uniterne.
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.
Ammoniterne svarede Uzzija Skat, og hans Ry naaede til Ægypten, thi han blev overmaade 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.
Og Uzzija byggede Taarne i Jerusalem ved Hjørneporten, Dalporten og Murhjørnet 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.
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 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 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 chiefs of families of the mighty men of war [was] two thousand six hundred;
Det fulde Tal paa de dygtige Krigere, som var Overhoveder for Fædrenehusene, var 2600.
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.
Under deres Befaling stod en Hærstyrke paa 307 500 krigsvante Folk i deres fulde Kraft til at hjælpe Kongen mod 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.
Uzzija udrustede hele Hæren med Skjolde, Spyd, Hjelme, Brynjer, Buer og Slyngesten.
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.
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 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 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 there went in after him Azarias the priest, and with him eighty priests of the Lord, mighty men.
Præsten Azarja fulgte efter ham, ledsaget af firsindstyve af HERRENS Præster, modige Mænd;
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 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 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.
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 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 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 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 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 Ozias, the first and the last, [are] written by Jessias the prophet.
Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Uzzija fra først til sidst, har Profeten Esajas, Amoz's Søn, optegnet.
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.
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.
