< 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.
Então todo o povo de Judá tomou a Uzias, o qual era de dezesseis anos, e puseram-no por rei em lugar de Amazias seu pai.
2 It was he who rebuilt Elath and restored it to Judah. After that the king slept with his ancestors.
Edificou ele a Elote, e a restituiu a Judá depois que o rei descansou com seus pais.
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.
De dezesseis anos era Uzias quando começou a reinar, e cinquenta e dois anos reinou em Jerusalém. O nome de sua mãe foi Jecolias, de Jerusalém.
4 He did what was right in the eyes of Yahweh, following the example of his father, Amaziah, in everything.
E fez o que era correto aos olhos do SENHOR, conforme a todas as coisas que havia feito Amazias seu pai.
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.
E persistiu em buscar a Deus nos dias de Zacarias, entendido em visões de Deus; e nos dias que ele buscou ao SENHOR, ele lhe prosperou.
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.
E saiu, e lutou contra os filisteus, e rompeu o muro de Gate, e o muro de Jabné, e o muro de Asdode; e edificou cidades em Asdode, e na terra dos filisteus.
7 God helped him against the Philistines, against the Arabians who lived in Gurbaal, and against the Meunites.
E deu-lhe Deus ajuda contra os filisteus, e contra os árabes que habitavam em Gur-Baal, e contra os amonitas.
8 The Ammonites paid tribute to Uzziah, and his fame spread, even to the entrance of Egypt, because he was becoming more powerful.
E os amonitas deram tributos a Uzias, e divulgou-se seu nome até a entrada do Egito; porque havia se tornado altamente poderoso.
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.
Edificou também Uzias torres em Jerusalém, junto à porta do ângulo, e junto à porta do vale, e junto às esquinas; e fortificou-as.
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.
Assim edificou torres no deserto, e abriu muitas cisternas: porque teve muitos gados, assim nos vales como nas planícies; e vinhas, e lavouras, assim nos montes como nos campos férteis; porque era amigo da agricultura.
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.
Teve também Uzias esquadrões de guerreiros, os quais saíam à guerra em exército, segundo que estavam por lista feita por mão de Jeiel escriba e de Maaseias governador, e por mão de Hananias, um dos príncipes do rei.
12 The whole number of the leaders of the families who led the mighty men was 2,600.
Todo o número dos chefes de famílias, valentes e esforçados, era dois mil e seiscentos.
13 Under their hand was an army of 307,500 men that made war with mighty power to help the king against the enemy.
E sob a mão destes estava o exército de guerra, de trezentos sete mil e quinhentos guerreiros poderosos e fortes para ajudar ao rei contra os inimigos.
14 Uzziah prepared for them—for all the army—shields, spears, helmets, coats of mail, bows, and stones for slinging.
E preparou-lhes Uzias para todo o exército, escudos, lanças, capacetes, couraças, arcos, e fundas de tirar pedras.
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.
E fez em Jerusalém máquinas por artifício de peritos, para que estivessem nas torres e nos baluartes, para lançar setas e grandes pedras, e sua fama se estendeu longe, porque se ajudou maravilhosamente, até fazer-se forte.
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.
Mas quando foi fortificado, seu coração se enalteceu até corromper-se; porque se rebelou contra o SENHOR seu Deus, entrando no templo do SENHOR para queimar incenso no altar do incenso.
17 Azariah, the priest, went in after him, and with him eighty priests of Yahweh, who were brave men.
E entrou atrás dele o sacerdote Azarias, e com ele oitenta sacerdotes do SENHOR, dos valentes.
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.”
E puseram-se contra o rei Uzias, e disseram-lhe: Não a ti, ó Uzias, o queimar incenso ao SENHOR, mas sim aos sacerdotes filhos de Arão, que são consagrados para queimá-lo: sai do santuário, por que pecaste, e não te será para glória diante do SENHOR Deus.
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.
E irou-se Uzias, que tinha o incenso na mão para queimá-lo; e em esta sua ira contra os sacerdotes, a lepra lhe surgiu na testa diante dos sacerdotes na casa do SENHOR, junto ao altar do incenso.
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.
E olhou-lhe Azarias o sumo sacerdote, e todos os sacerdotes, e eis que a lepra estava em sua testa; e fizeram-lhe sair apressadamente daquele lugar; e ele também se deu pressa a sair, porque o SENHOR o havia ferido.
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.
Assim o rei Uzias foi leproso até o dia de sua morte, e habitou em uma casa separada, leproso, pelo que havia sido separado da casa do SENHOR; e Jotão seu filho teve cargo da casa real, governando ao povo da terra.
22 The other matters concerning Uzziah, from first to last, were recorded by the prophet Isaiah son of Amoz.
Os demais dos feitos de Uzias, primeiros e últimos, escreveu-os Isaías profeta, filho de Amoz.
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.
E descansou Uzias com seus pais, e sepultaram-no com seus pais no campo dos sepulcros reais; porque disseram: Leproso é. E seu filho Jotão reinou Jotão em seu lugar.
