2 Chronicles 26

1 All the people of Judah took Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in the place of his father Amaziah.

١ وَأَخَذَ كُلُّ شَعْبِ يَهُوذَا عُزِّيَّا وَهُوَ ٱبْنُ سِتَّ عَشَرَةَ سَنَةً وَمَلَّكُوهُ عِوَضًا عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَمَصْيَا.

2 He built Eilat, and restored it to Judah, after that the king slept with his fathers.

٢ هُوَ بَنَى أَيْلَةَ وَرَدَّهَا لِيَهُوذَا بَعْدَ ٱضْطِجَاعِ ٱلْمَلِكِ مَعَ آبَائِهِ.

3 Sixteen years old was Uzziah when he began to reign; and he reigned fifty-two years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Jecoliah, of Jerusalem.

٣ كَانَ عُزِّيَّا ٱبْنَ سِتَّ عَشَرَةَ سَنَةً حِينَ مَلَكَ، وَمَلَكَ ٱثْنَتَيْنِ وَخَمْسِينَ سَنَةً فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَٱسْمُ أُمِّهِ يَكُلْيَا مِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ.

4 He did that which was right in the eyes of Jehovah, according to all that his father Amaziah had done.

٤ وَعَمِلَ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمَ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا عَمِلَ أَمَصْيَا أَبُوهُ.

5 He set himself to seek God in the days of Zechariah, who had understanding in the fear of God, and as long as he sought Jehovah, God made him to prosper.

٥ وَكَانَ يَطْلُبُ ٱللهَ فِي أَيَّامِ زَكَرِيَّا ٱلْفَاهِمِ بِمَنَاظِرِ ٱللهِ. وَفِي أَيَّامِ طَلَبِهِ ٱلرَّبَّ أَنْجَحَهُ ٱللهُ.

6 He went forth and warred against the Philistines, and broke down the wall of Gath, and the wall of Jabneh, and the wall of Ashdod; and he built cities in the country of Ashdod, and among the Philistines.

٦ وَخَرَجَ وَحَارَبَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ وَهَدَمَ سُورَ جَتَّ وَسُورَ يَبْنَةَ وَسُورَ أَشْدُودَ، وَبَنَى مُدُنًا فِي أَرْضِ أَشْدُودَ وَٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ.

7 God helped him against the Philistines, and against the Arabians who lived in Gur Baal, and the Meunites.

٧ وَسَاعَدَهُ ٱللهُ عَلَى ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ وَعَلَى ٱلْعَرَبِ ٱلسَّاكِنِينَ فِي جُورِ بَعْلَ وَٱلْمَعُونِيِّينَ.

8 The Meunites gave tribute to Uzziah, and his name spread abroad even to the entrance of Egypt; for he grew exceeding strong.

٨ وَأَعْطَى ٱلْعَمُّونِيُّونَ عُزِّيَّا هَدَايَا، وَٱمْتَدَّ ٱسْمُهُ إِلَى مَدْخَلِ مِصْرَ لِأَنَّهُ تَشَدَّدَ جِدًّا.

9 Moreover Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem at the Corner Gate, and at the Valley Gate, and at the turning of the wall, and fortified them.

٩ وَبَنَى عُزِّيَّا أَبْرَاجًا فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ عِنْدَ بَابِ ٱلزَّاوِيَةِ وَعِنْدَ بَابِ ٱلْوَادِي وَعِنْدَ ٱلزَّاوِيَةِ وَحَصَّنَهَا.

10 He built towers in the wilderness, and dug out many cisterns, for he had many cattle; in the Shephelah and in the plain he had farmers, and vinedressers in the hills and in the fertile fields, for he loved the land.

١٠ وَبَنَى أَبْرَاجًا فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ، وَحَفَرَ آبَارًا كَثِيرَةً لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ لَهُ مَاشِيَةٌ كَثِيرَةٌ فِي ٱلسَّاحِلِ وَٱلسَّهْلِ، وَفَلَاّحُونَ وَكَرَّامُونَ فِي ٱلْجِبَالِ وَفِي ٱلْكَرْمَلِ، لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ يُحِبُّ ٱلْفِلَاحَةَ.

11 Moreover Uzziah had an army of fighting men, who went out to war by bands, according to the number of their reckoning made by Jeiel the scribe and Maaseiah the officer, under the hand of Hananiah, one of the king's captains.

١١ وَكَانَ لِعُزِّيَّا جَيْشٌ مِنَ ٱلْمُقَاتِلِينَ يَخْرُجُونَ لِلْحَرْبِ أَحْزَابًا حَسَبَ عَدَدِ إِحْصَائِهِمْ عَنْ يَدِ يَعِيئِيلَ ٱلْكَاتِبِ وَمَعَسِيَا ٱلْعَرِيفِ تَحْتَ يَدِ حَنَنْيَّا وَاحِدٍ مِنْ رُؤَسَاءِ ٱلْمَلِكِ.

12 The whole number of the heads of ancestral houses, even the mighty men of valor, was two thousand and six hundred.

١٢ كُلُّ عَدَدِ رُؤُوسِ ٱلْآبَاءِ مِنْ جَبَابِرَةِ ٱلْبَأْسِ أَلْفَانِ وَسِتُّ مِئَةٍ.

13 Under their hand was an army, three hundred thousand and seven thousand and five hundred, who made war with mighty power, to help the king against the enemy.

١٣ وَتَحْتَ يَدِهِمْ جَيْشُ جُنُودٍ ثَلَاثُ مِئَةِ أَلْفٍ وَسَبْعَةُ آلَافٍ وَخَمْسُ مِئَةٍ مِنَ ٱلْمُقَاتِلِينَ بِقُوَّةٍ شَدِيدَةٍ لِمُسَاعَدَةِ ٱلْمَلِكِ عَلَى ٱلْعَدُوِّ.

14 Uzziah prepared for them, even for all the army, shields, and spears, and helmets, and coats of mail, and bows, and stones for slinging.

١٤ وَهَيَّأَ لَهُمْ عُزِّيَّا، لِكُلِّ ٱلْجَيْشِ، أَتْرَاسًا وَرِمَاحًا وَخُوَذًا وَدُرُوعًا وَقِسِيًّا وَحِجَارَةَ مَقَالِيعَ.

15 He made in Jerusalem engines, invented by skillful men, to be on the towers and on the battlements, with which to shoot arrows and great stones. His name spread far abroad; for he was marvelously helped, until he was strong.

١٥ وَعَمِلَ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ مَنْجَنِيقَاتٍ ٱخْتِرَاعَ مُخْتَرِعِينَ لِتَكُونَ عَلَى ٱلْأَبْرَاجِ وَعَلَى ٱلزَّوَايَا، لِتُرْمَى بِهَا ٱلسِّهَامُ وَٱلْحِجَارَةُ ٱلْعَظِيمَةُ. وَٱمْتَدَّ ٱسْمُهُ إِلَى بَعِيدٍ إِذْ عَجِبَتْ مُسَاعَدَتُهُ حَتَّى تَشَدَّدَ.

16 But when he was strong, his heart was lifted up, so that he did corruptly, and he trespassed against Jehovah his God; for he went into Jehovah's temple to burn incense on the altar of incense.

١٦ وَلَمَّا تَشَدَّدَ ٱرْتَفَعَ قَلْبُهُ إِلَى ٱلْهَلَاكِ وَخَانَ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَهُ، وَدَخَلَ هَيْكَلَ ٱلرَّبِّ لِيُوقِدَ عَلَى مَذْبَحِ ٱلْبَخُورِ.

17 Azariah the priest went in after him, and with him eighty priests of Jehovah, who were valiant men:

١٧ وَدَخَلَ وَرَاءَهُ عَزَرْيَا ٱلْكَاهِنُ وَمَعَهُ ثَمَانُونَ مِنْ كَهَنَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ بَنِي ٱلْبَأْسِ.

18 and they resisted Uzziah the king, and said to him, "It isn't for you, Uzziah, to burn incense to Jehovah, but for the priests the descendants of Aaron, who are consecrated to burn incense. Go out of the sanctuary; for you have trespassed; neither shall it be for your honor from Jehovah God."

١٨ وَقَاوَمُوا عُزِّيَّا ٱلْمَلِكَ وَقَالُوا لَهُ: «لَيْسَ لَكَ يَا عُزِّيَّا أَنْ تُوقِدَ لِلرَّبِّ، بَلْ لِلْكَهَنَةِ بَنِي هَارُونَ ٱلْمُقَدَّسِينَ لِلْإِيقَادِ. اُخْرُجْ مِنَ ٱلْمَقْدِسِ لِأَنَّكَ خُنْتَ وَلَيْسَ لَكَ مِنْ كَرَامَةٍ مِنْ عِنْدِ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلْإِلَهِ».

19 Then Uzziah was angry; and he had a censer in his hand to burn incense; and while he was angry with the priests, the leprosy broke forth in his forehead before the priests in the house of Jehovah, beside the altar of incense.

١٩ فَحَنِقَ عُزِّيَّا. وَكَانَ فِي يَدِهِ مِجْمَرَةٌ لِلْإِيقَادِ. وَعِنْدَ حَنَقِهِ عَلَى ٱلْكَهَنَةِ خَرَجَ بَرَصٌ فِي جَبْهَتِهِ أَمَامَ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ فِي بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ بِجَانِبِ مَذْبَحِ ٱلْبَخُورِ.

20 Azariah the chief priest, and all the priests, looked on him, and look, he was leprous in his forehead, and they thrust him out quickly from there; yes, himself hurried also to go out, because Jehovah had struck him.

٢٠ فَٱلْتَفَتَ نَحْوَهُ عَزَرْيَاهُو ٱلْكَاهِنُ ٱلرَّأْسُ وَكُلُّ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ وَإِذَا هُوَ أَبْرَصُ فِي جَبْهَتِهِ، فَطَرَدُوهُ مِنْ هُنَاكَ حَتَّى إِنَّهُ هُوَ نَفْسُهُ بَادَرَ إِلَى ٱلْخُرُوجِ لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ ضَرَبَهُ.

21 Uzziah the king was a leper to the day of his death, and lived 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.

٢١ وَكَانَ عُزِّيَّا ٱلْمَلِكُ أَبْرَصَ إِلَى يَوْمِ وَفَاتِهِ، وَأَقَامَ فِي بَيْتِ ٱلْمَرَضِ أَبْرَصَ لِأَنَّهُ قُطِعَ مِنْ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَكَانَ يُوثَامُ ٱبْنُهُ عَلَى بَيْتِ ٱلْمَلِكِ يَحْكُمُ عَلَى شَعْبِ ٱلْأَرْضِ.

22 Now the rest of the acts of Uzziah, first and last, Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, wrote.

٢٢ وَبَقِيَّةُ أُمُورِ عُزِّيَّا ٱلْأُولَى وَٱلْأَخِيرَةُ كَتَبَهَا إِشَعْيَاءُ بْنُ آمُوصَ ٱلنَّبِيُّ.

23 So Uzziah slept with his fathers; and they buried him with his fathers in the field of burial which belonged to the kings; for they said, "He is a leper." Jotham his son reigned in his place.

٢٣ ثُمَّ ٱضْطَجَعَ عُزِّيَّا مَعَ آبَائِهِ وَدَفَنُوهُ مَعَ آبَائِهِ فِي حَقْلِ ٱلْمِقْبَرَةِ ٱلَّتِي لِلْمُلُوكِ، لِأَنَّهُمْ قَالُوا إِنَّهُ أَبْرَصُ. وَمَلَكَ يُوثَامُ ٱبْنُهُ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ.
