2 Chronicles 26
1 After King Amaziah died, all the people of Judah appointed his son Uzziah, who then was 16 years old, as their king. [One of the things that happened] while he was the king [was that] his men captured Elath [town on the Gulf of Aqaba] and rebuilt it.
И взял весь народ Иудейский Озию, которому было шестнадцать лет, и поставили его царем на место отца его Амасии.
Он обстроил Елаф и возвратил его Иудее, после того как почил царь с отцами своими.
3 Uzziah ruled in Jerusalem for 52 years. His mother was Jecoliah; she was from Jerusalem.
Шестнадцати лет был Озия, когда воцарился, и пятьдесят два года царствовал в Иерусалиме; имя матери его Иехолия из Иерусалима.
4 Uzziah did things that Yahweh considered to be good, like his father Amaziah had done.
И делал он угодное в очах Господних точно так, как делал Амасия, отец его;
5 He tried to please God while [the priest] Zechariah was living, because Zechariah taught him to revere God. As long as Uzziah tried to please God, God enabled him to be successful.
и прибегал он к Богу во дни Захарии, поучавшего страху Божию; и в те дни, когда он прибегал к Господу, споспешествовал ему Бог.
6 Uzziah and his army started to fight against the army of Philistia. They tore down the walls of Gath, Jabneh, and Ashdod [cities]. Then they rebuilt the towns near Ashdod and in other places in Philistia.
И он вышел и сразился с Филистимлянами, и разрушил стены Гефа и стены Иавнеи и стены Азота; и построил города в области Азотской и у Филистимлян.
7 God helped them to fight the army of Philistia and the Arabs who lived in [the town of] Gur-Baal and the descendants of Meun who had come to that area from Edom.
И помогал ему Бог против Филистимлян и против Аравитян, живущих в Гур-Ваале, и против Меунитян;
8 Even the Ammon [people-group] paid taxes to Uzziah each year. So Uzziah became famous as far as the border of Egypt, because he had become very powerful.
и давали Аммонитяне дань Озии, и дошло имя его до пределов Египта, потому что он был весьма силен.
9 Uzziah’s [workers] built watchtowers in Jerusalem at the Corner Gate, at the Valley Gate, and at the place where the wall turns, and they placed weapons in them.
И построил Озия башни в Иерусалиме над воротами угольными и над воротами долины и на углу, и укрепил их.
10 They also built watchtowers in the desert and dug many wells. They did that [to provide water] for a lot of the king’s cattle that were in the foothills and in the plains. Uzziah liked farming, so he also stationed workers [to take care of] his fields and vineyards in the hills and in the fertile areas.
И построил башни в пустыне, и иссек много водоемов, потому что имел много скота, и на низменности и на равнине, и земледельцев и садовников на горах и на Кармиле, ибо он любил земледелие.
11 Uzziah’s army was trained for fighting battles. They were in groups that were always ready to go into battle. Jeiel, the king’s secretary, and Maaseiah, one of the army officers, counted the men and placed them in groups. Hananiah, one of the king’s officials, was their commander.
Было у Озии и войско, выходившее на войну отрядами, по счету в списке их, составленном рукою Иеиела писца и Маасеи надзирателя, под предводительством Ханании, одного из главных сановников царских.
12 There were 2,600 leaders of those groups of soldiers.
Все число глав поколений, из храбрых воинов, было две тысячи шестьсот,
13 In the groups that those leaders commanded there were a total of 307,500 well-trained soldiers. It was a very powerful army which was ready to help the king fight against his enemies.
и под рукою их военной силы триста семь тысяч пятьсот, вступавших в сражение с воинским мужеством, на помощь царю против неприятеля.
14 Uzziah gave to each soldier a shield, a spear, a helmet, a vest made of iron plates, a bow [and arrows], and a slingshot.
И заготовил для них Озия, для всего войска, щиты и копья, и шлемы и латы, и луки и пращные камни.
15 In Jerusalem his skilled workers made machines to put on the watchtowers and on the corners [of the walls], to shoot arrows and to hurl large stones. He became very famous even in distant places, because God helped him very much and enabled him to become very powerful.
И сделал он в Иерусалиме искусно придуманные машины, чтоб они находились на башнях и на углах для метания стрел и больших камней. И пронеслось имя его далеко, потому что он дивно оградил себя и сделался силен.
16 But because Uzziah was very powerful, he became very proud, and that led to his being punished. He disobeyed what Yahweh his God had commanded. He went into the temple to burn incense on the altar [where God had said that only the priests should burn] incense.
Но когда он сделался силен, возгордилось сердце его на погибель его, и он сделался преступником пред Господом Богом своим, ибо вошел в храм Господень, чтобы воскурить фимиам на алтаре кадильном.
17 Azariah the [Supreme] Priest and 80 other brave priests followed him into the temple.
И пошел за ним Азария священник, и с ним восемьдесят священников Господних, людей отличных,
18 They rebuked him and said to him, “Uzziah, it is not right for you to burn incense to [honor] Yahweh. That duty is only for the priests, those who are descendants of Aaron [our first Supreme Priest]! You must leave [immediately], because you have disobeyed Yahweh our God, and he will not honor you [for what you have done]!”
и воспротивились Озии царю и сказали ему: не тебе, Озия, кадить Господу; это дело священников, сынов Аароновых, посвященных для каждения; выйди из святилища, ибо ты поступил беззаконно, и не будет тебе это в честь у Господа Бога.
19 Uzziah had in his hand a pan for burning incense. He became very angry with the priests, but suddenly there was leprosy on his forehead.
И разгневался Озия, - а в руке у него кадильница для каждения; и когда разгневался он на священников, проказа явилась на челе его, пред лицем священников, в доме Господнем, у алтаря кадильного.
20 When Azariah the [Supreme] Priest and all the other priests [who were there] looked at him, they saw the leprosy on his forehead, so they quickly took him outside. And truly the king was eager to leave the temple, because he knew that it was Yahweh who had caused him to have that leprosy, [and he did not want it to become worse.]
И взглянул на него Азария первосвященник и все священники; и вот у него проказа на челе его. И понуждали его выйти оттуда, да и сам он спешил удалиться, так как поразил его Господь.
21 King Uzziah had leprosy until he died. And because he had leprosy, he lived in a house that was not near other houses, and he was not allowed to enter [the courtyard of] the temple. His son Jotham supervised the palace and ruled the people of Judah.
И был царь Озия прокаженным до дня смерти своей, и жил в отдельном доме и отлучен был от дома Господня. А Иоафам, сын его, начальствовал над домом царским и управлял народом земли.
22 A record of all the other things that Uzziah did while he was the king [of Judah] was written by the prophet Isaiah, the son of Amoz.
Прочие деяния Озии, первые и последние, описал Исаия, сын Амоса, пророк.
23 Because Uzziah was a leper, [when he died, ] they would not bury him in the tombs where the other kings were buried. Instead, he was buried in a nearby cemetery that the kings owned. Then his son Jotham became the king [of Judah].
И почил Озия с отцами своими, и похоронили его с отцами его на поле царских гробниц, ибо говорили: он прокаженный. И воцарился Иоафам, сын его, вместо него.
