< 2 Chronicles 26 >
1 Forsothe al the puple of Juda made kyng, Ozie, his sone, `of sixtene yeer, for his fader Amasie.
[烏齊雅登極]全猶大人民立烏齊雅為王,繼承他父親阿瑪責雅,那時他十六歲。
2 He bildide Hailath, and restoride it to the lordschipe of Juda, after that the kyng slepte with hise fadris.
先王與祖先同眠以後,烏齊雅將厄拉特收回仍屬猶大,加以重建。
3 Ozie was of sixtene yeer, whanne he bigan to regne; and he regnede two and fifti yeer in Jerusalem; the name of his modir was Hiechelia, of Jerusalem.
烏齊雅登基時纔十六歲,在耶路撒冷作王凡五十二年;他母親名叫耶苛里雅,是耶路撒冷人。
4 And he dide that, that was riytful in the siyt of the Lord, bi alle thingis whiche Amasie, his fadir, hadde do.
烏齊雅行了上主視為正義的事完全像他父親阿瑪責雅所行的一樣。
5 And he souyte the Lord in the daies of Zacarie, vndurstondynge and seynge God; and whanne he souyte God, God reulide hym in alle thingis.
則加黎雅有生之日,由於他指導君王敬畏天主,所以君王時常求天主;在他尋求上主的時期內,天主使他事事順利。[國勢昌盛]
6 Forsothe he yede out, and fauyt ayens Filisteis, and distriede the wal of Geth, and the wal of Jabyne, and the wal of Azotus; and he bildide stronge places in Azotus and in Filistiym.
他出兵攻打了培肋舍特人,破壞了加特、雅貝乃和阿市多得的城垣,在阿市多得境內和培肋舍特人中建築了一些城池。
7 And the Lord helpide hym bothe ayens Filisteis, and ayens Arabeis that dwelliden in Garbahal, and ayenus Amonytis.
天主協助他攻打了培肋舍特人和住在古爾巴耳的阿剌伯人以及瑪紅人。
8 Amonytis paieden yiftis to Ozie, and his name was pupplischid `til to the entryng of Egipt for ofte victories.
阿孟子民也向烏齊雅進貢,由於他的勢力極其強大,聲譽傳至埃及邊境。
9 And Ozie bildide touris in Jerusalem ouer the yate of the corner, and ouer the yate of the valey, and othere touris in the same side of the wal; and made tho stidefast.
烏齊雅在耶路撒冷的角門、谷門以及城角,建築了堡壘,加以設防。
10 Also he bildide touris in the wildirnesse, and he diggide ful many cisternes; for he hadde many beestis as wel in the feeldi places as in the wastnesse of deseert. Also he hadde vyneris and tiliers of vynes in the hilles, and in Carmele; for he was a man youun to erthetilthe.
又在曠野修築了一些堡壘,開鑿了許多儲水池,因為他在平原和高原有很多的牲畜;又因他喜愛農業,所以在山地和田園裏,僱用了許多農夫和栽培葡萄的人。
11 Forsothe the oost of hise werriours, that yeden forth to batels, vndur the hond of Heiel, scribe, and of Masie, techere, and vndur the hond of Ananye that was of the duykis of the kyng;
烏齊雅還備有能出征作戰的軍旅,照書記耶依耳和監察官瑪阿色雅所編定的數目,由君王的一位將帥哈納尼雅指揮。
12 and al the noumbre of princes, by her meynees, was of stronge men two thousynde and sixe hundrid.
這些英勇戰士中的族長,總數為二千六百人。
13 And vndur hem was al the oost, thre hundrid thousynde and seuen thousynde and fyue hundrid, that weren able to batel, and fouyten for the king ayens aduersaries.
他們屬下的軍隊計有三萬七千五百人,都是善於作戰,協助君王征討敵人的勇士。
14 And Ozie made redi to hem, that is, to al the oost, scheldis, and speris, and basynetis, and haburiouns, and bouwis, and slyngis to caste stonys.
烏齊雅給他們全隊的人配備了盾牌、長槍、盔甲、弓箭和彈石。
15 And he made in Jerusalem engynes of dyuerse kynde, which he settide in touris, and in the corneris of wallis, that tho schulden caste arowis and grete stoonys; and his name yede out fer, for the Lord helpide hym, and hadde maad him strong.
在耶路撒冷又叫巧匠設製機械,放在堡壘和城角上,發射矢箭和大石彈。烏齊雅的名聲傳到遠方,因為他獲得了奇異的助佑,勢力極其強盛。[烏齊雅越職受罰]
16 But whanne he was maad strong, his herte was reisid in to his perischyng; and he dispiside `his Lord God; and he entride in to the temple of the Lord, and wolde brenne encense on the auter of encense.
他勢力強大了,便心高氣傲,以致自毀前途,竟敢冒犯上主他的天主,擅進上主的正殿,企圖在香壇上焚香。
17 And anoon Azarie, the preest, entride after hym, and with hym the preestis of the Lord, seuenti `men ful noble;
大司祭阿匝黎雅和八十個上主的勇敢司祭隨後進去,
18 whiche ayenstoden the kyng, and seiden, Ozie, it is not of thin office, that thou brenne encense to the Lord, but of the preestis of the Lord, that is, of the sones of Aaron, that ben halewid to siche seruyce; go thou out of the seyntuarye; dispise thou not; for this thing schal not be arettid of the Lord God to thee in to glorie.
阻止烏齊雅王說:「烏齊雅,給上主焚香不是你的事,而是亞郎子孫司祭的事,他們是受祝聖為行焚香禮的;請由聖殿裏出去,因為你越權,在上主天主面前也沒有光榮。」
19 And Ozie was wrooth, and he helde in the hond the censere for to offre encence, and manaasside the preestis; and anoon lepre was sprungun forth in his forheed, bifor the preestis in the hows of the Lord on the auter of encense.
烏齊雅發怒,手持香爐要獻香;他向司祭發怒時,就在上主殿內香壇旁,當著司祭面前,他的額上突然出現了癩病。
20 And whanne Azarie, the bischop, hadde biholde hym, and alle othere preestis `hadden biholde him, thei sien lepre in his forheed, and hiyngli thei puttiden hym out; but also he was aferd, and hastide to go out; for he feelide anoon the veniaunce of the Lord.
大司祭阿匝黎雅和所有的司祭望著他,見他額上出現了癩病,便促使他出去;他自己便急忙出去,因為上主打擊了他。
21 Therfor kyng Ozie was leprouse `til to the dai of his deeth, and dwellide in an hows bi it silf, and he was ful of lepre; `for which he was cast out of the hows of the Lord. Forsothe Joathan, his sone, gouernyde the hows of the kyng, and demyde the puple of the lond.
烏齊雅身患癩病一直到死;因為他身患癩病,獨住在一間隔離的房裏,不能進入上主的殿。他的兒子約堂掌管朝廷,統治國家的百姓。
22 Sotheli Ysaie, the prophete, the sone of Amos, wroot the residue `of the formere and of the laste wordis of Ozie.
烏齊雅前後其餘的事蹟,都由阿摩茲的兒子依撒意亞先知記了下來。
23 And Ozie slepte with hise fadris, and thei birieden not hym in the feeld of the kyngis sepulcris, for he was leprouse; and Joathan, his sone, regnyde for hym.
烏黎雅與祖先同眠,因為人說他有癩病,所以只將他葬在王陵田間,祖先之旁;他的兒子約堂繼位為王。
