2 Chronicles 26
1 All the people of Judah took Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in place of his father Amaziah.
Omnis autem populus Iuda filium eius Oziam annorum sedecim, constituit regem pro Amasia patre suo.
2 It was he who rebuilt Elath and restored it to Judah. After that the king slept with his ancestors.
Ipse ædificavit Ailath, et restituit eam ditioni Iuda, postquam dormivit rex cum patribus suis.
3 Uzziah was sixteen years old when he began to reign. He reigned for fifty-two years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Jekoliah; she was from Jerusalem.
Sedecim annorum erat Ozias cum regnare cœpisset, et quinquaginta duobus annis regnavit in Ierusalem, nomen matris eius Iechelia de Ierusalem.
4 He did what was right in the eyes of Yahweh, following the example of his father, Amaziah, in everything.
Fecitque quod erat rectum in oculis Domini iuxta omnia, quæ fecerat Amasias pater eius.
5 He set himself to seek God in the days of Zechariah, who taught him to honor God. As long as he sought Yahweh, God made him prosper.
Et exquisivit Dominum in diebus Zachariæ intelligentis et videntis Deum: cumque requireret Dominum, direxit eum in omnibus.
6 Uzziah went out and fought against the Philistines. He broke down the city walls of Gath, Jabneh, and Ashdod; he built cities in the country of Ashdod and among the Philistines.
Denique egressus est, et pugnavit contra Philisthiim, et destruxit murum Geth, et murum Iabniæ, murumque Azoti: ædificavit quoque oppida in Azoto, et in Philisthiim.
7 God helped him against the Philistines, against the Arabians who lived in Gurbaal, and against the Meunites.
Et adiuvit eum Deus contra Philisthiim, et contra Arabes, qui habitabant in Gurbaal, et contra Ammonitas.
8 The Ammonites paid tribute to Uzziah, and his fame spread, even to the entrance of Egypt, because he was becoming more powerful.
Appendebantque Ammonitæ munera Oziæ: et divulgatum est nomen eius usque ad introitum Ægypti propter crebras victorias.
9 In addition, Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem at the Corner Gate, at the Valley Gate, and at the turning of the wall, and fortified them.
Ædificavitque Ozias turres in Ierusalem super portam anguli, et super portam vallis, et reliquas in eodem muri latere, firmavitque eas.
10 He built watchtowers in the wilderness and dug many cisterns, for he had much cattle, in the lowlands as well as in the plains. He had farmers and vine growers in the hill country and in the fruitful fields, for he loved farming.
Extruxit etiam turres in solitudine, et effodit cisternas plurimas, eo quod haberet multa pecora tam in campestribus, quam in eremi vastitate: vineas quoque habuit et vinitores in montibus, et in Carmelo: erat quippe homo agriculturæ deditus.
11 In addition, Uzziah had an army of fighting men who went out to war in groups which were organized by their number that were counted by Jeiel, the scribe, and Maaseiah, the officer, under the authority of Hananiah, one of the king's commanders.
Fuit autem exercitus bellatorum eius, qui procedebant ad prælia sub manu Iehiel scribæ, Maasiæque doctoris, et sub manu Hananiæ, qui erat de ducibus regis.
12 The whole number of the leaders of the families who led the mighty men was 2,600.
Omnisque numerus principum per familias virorum fortium, duorum millium sexcentorum.
13 Under their hand was an army of 307,500 men that made war with mighty power to help the king against the enemy.
Et sub eis universus exercitus trecentorum et septem millium quingentorum: qui erant apti ad bella, et pro rege contra adversarios dimicabant.
14 Uzziah prepared for them—for all the army—shields, spears, helmets, coats of mail, bows, and stones for slinging.
Præparavit quoque eis Ozias, id est, cuncto exercitui, clypeos, et hastas, et galeas, et loricas, arcusque et fundas ad iaciendos lapides.
15 In Jerusalem he built machines that were designed by skillful men to be on the towers and on the battlements to shoot arrows and large stones. His fame spread to distant lands, for he was greatly helped and so he became very powerful.
Et fecit in Ierusalem diversi generis machinas, quas in turribus collocavit, et in angulis murorum ut mitterent sagittas, et saxa grandia: egressumque est nomen eius procul, eo quod auxiliaretur ei Dominus, et corroborasset illum.
16 But when Uzziah had become powerful, his heart was lifted up so that he acted corruptly; he trespassed against Yahweh, his God, for he went into the house of Yahweh to burn incense on the altar of incense.
Sed cum roboratus esset, elevatum est cor eius in interitum suum, et neglexit Dominum Deum suum: ingressusque templum Domini, adolere voluit incensum super altare thymiamatis.
17 Azariah, the priest, went in after him, and with him eighty priests of Yahweh, who were brave men.
Statimque ingressus post eum Azarias sacerdos, et cum eo Sacerdotes Domini octoginta, viri fortissimi,
18 They resisted Uzziah, the king, and said to him, “It is not for you, Uzziah, to burn incense to Yahweh, but for the priests, the sons of Aaron, who are consecrated to burn incense. Go out of the holy place, for you have been unfaithful and you will not be honored by Yahweh God.”
restiterunt regi, atque dixerunt: Non est tui officii Ozia ut adoleas incensum Domino, sed Sacerdotum, hoc est, filiorum Aaron, qui consecrati sunt ad huiuscemodi ministerium: egredere de sanctuario, ne contempseris: quia non reputabitur tibi in gloriam hoc a Domino Deo.
19 Then Uzziah became angry. He was holding a censer in his hand to burn incense. While he was angry with the priests, leprosy broke out on his forehead before the priests in the house of Yahweh, beside the altar of incense.
Iratusque Ozias, tenens in manu thuribulum ut adoleret incensum, minabatur Sacerdotibus. Statimque orta est lepra in fronte eius coram Sacerdotibus, in domo Domini super altare thymiamatis.
20 Azariah the chief priest and all the priests looked at him, and, behold, he had become leprous on his forehead. They quickly drove him out of there. Indeed, he hurried to go out, because Yahweh had struck him.
Cumque respexisset eum Azarias pontifex, et omnes reliqui Sacerdotes, viderunt lepram in fronte eius, et festinato expulerunt eum. Sed et ipse perterritus, acceleravit egredi, eo quod sensisset illico plagam Domini.
21 Uzziah, the king, was a leper to the day of his death and lived in a separate house since he was a leper, for he was cut off from the house of Yahweh. Jotham, his son, was over the king's house and ruled the people of the land.
Fuit igitur Ozias rex leprosus usque ad diem mortis suæ, et habitavit in domo separata plenus lepra, ob quam eiectus fuerat de domo Domini. Porro Ioatham filius eius rexit domum regis, et iudicabat populum terræ.
22 The other matters concerning Uzziah, from first to last, were recorded by the prophet Isaiah son of Amoz.
Reliqua autem sermonum Oziæ priorum et novissimorum scripsit Isaias filius Amos, propheta.
23 So Uzziah slept with his ancestors; they buried him with his ancestors in a burial ground that belonged to the kings, for they said, “He is a leper.” Jotham, his son, became king in his place.
Dormivitque Ozias cum patribus suis, et sepelierunt eum in agro regalium sepulchrorum, eo quod esset leprosus: regnavitque Ioatham filius eius pro eo.
