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.
Potem je vse Judovo ljudstvo vzelo Uzíjaha, ki je bil star šestnajst let in ga postavilo [za] kralja namesto njegovega očeta Amacjája.
Pozidal je Elot in ga povrnil Judu, nató je kralj zaspal s svojimi očeti.
3 Uzziah ruled in Jerusalem for 52 years. His mother was Jecoliah; she was from Jerusalem.
Uzíjah je bil star šestnajst let, ko je začel kraljevati in v Jeruzalemu je kraljeval dvainpetdeset let. Ime njegove matere je bilo Jehólja iz Jeruzalema.
4 Uzziah did things that Yahweh considered to be good, like his father Amaziah had done.
Delal je to, kar je bilo pravilno v Gospodovih očeh, glede na vse, kar je delal njegov oče Amacjá.
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.
Iskal je Boga v dneh Zeharjá, ki je imel razumevanje Božjih videnj. Dokler je iskal Gospoda, mu je Bog naredil, da uspeva.
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.
Odšel je naprej in se boril zoper Filistejce in porušil obzidje v Gatu, obzidje v Jabnéju, obzidje v Ašdódu ter zgradil mesta okoli Ašdóda in med Filistejci.
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.
Bog mu je pomagal zoper Filistejce in zoper Arabce, ki prebivajo v Gur Báalu in [zoper] Meunéjce.
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.
Amónci so izročali darila Uzíjahu in njegovo ime se je razširilo celó do vhoda v Egipt, kajti silno se je okrepil.
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.
Poleg tega je Uzíjah zgradil stolpe v Jeruzalemu, pri vogalnih velikih vratih, pri dolinskih velikih vratih in ob vogalu obzidja in jih utrdil.
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.
Prav tako je zgradil stolpe v puščavi in izkopal mnogo vodnjakov, kajti imel je mnogo živine tako v spodnji deželi kakor na ravninah. Tudi poljedelce in obrezovalce vinske trte v gorah in na Karmelu, kajti ljubil je poljedelstvo.
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.
Poleg tega je imel Uzíjah vojsko vojskujočih mož, ki so šli ven, da se vojskujejo po četah, glede na število, po roki pisarja Jeiéla in vladarja Maasejája, pod roko Hananjája, enega izmed kraljevih poveljnikov.
12 There were 2,600 leaders of those groups of soldiers.
Celotno število vodij očetov močnih junaških mož je bilo dva tisoč šeststo.
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.
Pod njihovo roko je bila vojska, tristo sedem tisoč petsto mož, ki so se bojevali z mogočno močjo, da pomagajo kralju zoper sovražnika.
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.
Uzíjah je zanje po vsej vojski pripravil ščite, sulice, čelade, brezrokavne verižne srajce, loke in prače, da mečejo kamne.
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.
V Jeruzalemu je naredil stroje, ki so jih izumili spretni ljudje, da bi bili na stolpih in na branikih, da streljajo puščice in poleg tega velike kamne. Njegovo ime se je razširilo daleč naokoli, kajti bilo mu je čudovito pomagano, dokler je bil močan.
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.
Toda ko je bil močan, je bilo njegovo srce povzdignjeno k njegovemu uničenju, kajti pregrešil se je zoper Gospoda, svojega Boga in odšel v Gospodov tempelj, da na kadilnem oltarju zažge kadilo.
17 Azariah the [Supreme] Priest and 80 other brave priests followed him into the temple.
Duhovnik Azarjá je vstopil za njim in z njim osemdeset Gospodovih duhovnikov, ki so bili hrabri možje.
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]!”
Zoperstavili so se kralju Uzíjahu in mu rekli: » To ne pripada tebi, Uzíjah, da zažigaš kadilo Gospodu, temveč duhovnikom, Aronovim sinovom, ki so posvečeni, da zažigajo kadilo. Odidi ven iz svetišča, kajti grešil si niti ti to ne bo v tvojo slavo 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.
Potem je bil Uzíjah ogorčen in v svoji roki je imel kadilnico, da zažiga kadilo. Medtem ko je bil besen nad duhovniki, je celo vstala gobavost na njegovem čelu, pred duhovniki v Gospodovi hiši, poleg kadilnega oltarja.
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.]
Véliki duhovnik Azarjá in vsi duhovniki so pogledali nanj in glej, bil je gobav na svojem čelu in sunili so ga proč od tam; da, tudi sam je pohitel, da odide, ker ga je Gospod udaril.
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.
Kralj Uzíjah je bil gobavec do dneva svoje smrti in prebival v posebni hiši, [ker je] bil gobavec, kajti bil je odrezan od Gospodove hiše in njegov sin Jotám je bil nad kraljevo hišo, sodeč ljudstvu dežele.
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.
Torej preostala izmed Uzíjahovih dejanj, prva in zadnja, je zapisal prerok Izaija, Amócov sin.
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].
Tako je Uzíjah zaspal s svojimi očeti in z njegovimi očeti so ga pokopali na pogrebnem polju, ki je pripadalo kraljem, kajti rekli so: »On je gobavec.« Namesto njega je zakraljeval njegov sin Jotám.
