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.
Tada sav narod Judin uze Oziju, kome bijaše šesnaest godina, i zacariše ga na mjesto oca njegova Amasije.
On sazida Elot povrativ ga Judi pošto car poèinu kod otaca svojih.
3 Uzziah ruled in Jerusalem for 52 years. His mother was Jecoliah; she was from Jerusalem.
Oziji bijaše šesnaest godina kad se zacari, i carova pedeset i dvije godine u Jerusalimu. Materi mu bijaše ime Jeholija iz Jerusalima.
4 Uzziah did things that Yahweh considered to be good, like his father Amaziah had done.
On èinjaše što je pravo pred Gospodom sasvijem kako je èinio Amasija otac njegov.
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.
I tražaše Boga dokle živ bijaše Zaharija koji razumijevaše utvare Božije; i dokle god tražaše Gospoda, davaše mu sreæu Bog.
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.
Jer izašav vojevaše s Filistejima, i obori zidove Gatu i zidove Javni i zidove Azotu; i sazida gradove u zemlji Azotskoj i po Filistejima.
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.
I Bog mu pomože protiv Filisteja i protiv Arapa, koji življahu u Gurvalu, i protiv Maonaca.
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.
I Amonci davahu dare Oziji, i raznese se ime njegovo do Misira, jer osili veoma.
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.
I sazida Ozija kule u Jerusalimu na vratima na uglu, i na vratima u dolu, i na uglu, i utvrdi ih.
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.
Sazida i u pustinji kule, i iskopa mnogo studenaca, jer imaše mnogo stoke i u dolinama i u ravnicama, i ratara i vinogradara po brdima i na Karmilu, jer mu mila bješe poljska radnja.
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.
I imaše Ozija ubojitu vojsku, koja iðaše u rat u èetama brojem, kako ih izbroji Jeilo pisar i Masija upravitelj, pod upravom Ananije vojvode careva.
12 There were 2,600 leaders of those groups of soldiers.
Svega na broj bijaše glavara domova otaèkih hrabrijeh junaka dvije tisuæe i šest stotina,
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.
A pod njihovom rukom vojske tri stotine i sedam tisuæa i pet stotina hrabrijeh vojnika, da pomažu caru protiv neprijatelja.
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.
I naèini Ozija svoj vojsci štitove i koplja i šljemove i oklope i lukove i kamenje za praæe.
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.
I naèini u Jerusalimu bojne sprave vrlo vješto izmišljene da stoje na kulama i na uglovima da meæu strijele i veliko kamenje; i raznese se ime njegovo daleko, jer mu se divno pomagaše dokle osili.
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.
Ali kad osili, ponese se srce njegovo, te se pokvari, i sagriješi Gospodu Bogu svojemu, jer uðe u crkvu Gospodnju da kadi na oltaru kadionom;
17 Azariah the [Supreme] Priest and 80 other brave priests followed him into the temple.
A za njim uðe Azarija sveštenik i s njim osamdeset sveštenika Gospodnjih hrabrijeh ljudi;
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]!”
I opriješe se caru Oziji govoreæi: nije tvoje, Ozija, kaditi Gospodu, nego sveštenika sinova Aronovijeh koji su posveæeni da kade; izidi iz svetinje, jer si zgriješio, i neæe ti biti na èast pred Gospodom Bogom.
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.
Tada se razgnjevi Ozija držeæi u ruci kadionicu da kadi; i kad se gnjevljaše na sveštenike, izide mu guba na èelu pred svijem sveštenicima u domu Gospodnjem kod oltara kadionoga.
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.]
I pogleda ga Azarija poglavar sveštenièki i svi sveštenici, a on gubav na èelu; i brže ga izvedoše napolje, a i sam pohitje da izide, jer ga Gospod udari.
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.
I osta car Ozija gubav do smrti svoje, i sjeðaše u odvojenom domu gubav, jer bi odluèen od doma Gospodnjega; a Jotam sin njegov upravljaše domom carevijem i suðaše narodu u zemlji.
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.
A ostala djela Ozijina prva i pošljednja napisao je prorok Isaija sin Amosov.
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].
I poèinu Ozija kod otaca svojih, i pogreboše ga kod otaca njegovijeh u grobnom polju carskom, jer rekoše: gubav je. I zacari se na njegovo mjesto Jotam sin njegov.
