2 Tawarikh 26
1 Sesudah Amazia meninggal, seluruh rakyat Yehuda memilih Uzia putranya menjadi raja. Pada waktu itu ia berumur 16 tahun. Ibunya bernama Yekholya, wanita Yerusalem. Uzia memerintah di Yerusalem 52 tahun lamanya. Dialah yang merebut dan membangun kembali kota Elot.
And all the people of Judah take Uzziah (and he [is] a son of sixteen years), and cause him to reign instead of his father Amaziah.
He has built Eloth, and restores it to Judah after the king’s lying with his fathers.
Uzziah [is] a son of sixteen years in his reigning, and he has reigned fifty-two years in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Jecholiah of Jerusalem.
4 Seperti ayahnya, Uzia pun melakukan yang menyenangkan hati TUHAN.
And he does that which is right in the eyes of YHWH, according to all that his father Amaziah did,
5 Zakharia adalah penasihat rohaninya. Selama Zakharia masih hidup, Uzia dengan setia beribadat kepada TUHAN sehingga TUHAN memberkatinya.
and he is as one seeking God in the days of Zechariah who has understanding in visions of God: and in the days of his seeking YHWH, God has caused him to prosper.
6 Uzia bertempur melawan orang Filistin. Ia meruntuhkan tembok-tembok kota Gat, Yabne, dan Asdod, lalu mendirikan kota-kota berbenteng dekat Asdod dan di daerah lain di Filistin.
And he goes forth and fights with the Philistines, and breaks down the wall of Gath, and the wall of Jabneh, and the wall of Ashdod, and builds cities [around] Ashdod, and among the Philistines.
7 Allah menolong dia mengalahkan orang Filistin, dan orang Arab yang tinggal di Gur-Baal serta orang Meunim.
And God helps him against the Philistines, and against the Arabians who are dwelling in Gur-Ba‘al and the Mehunim.
8 Orang Amon membayar upeti kepada Uzia. Ia makin berkuasa sehingga namanya tersohor sampai ke Mesir.
And the Ammonites give a present to Uzziah, and his name goes to the entering in of Egypt, for he strengthened himself greatly.
9 Untuk memperkuat kota Yerusalem, Uzia mendirikan menara di Pintu Gerbang Sudut, di Pintu Gerbang Lembah dan di tikungan tembok.
And Uzziah builds towers in Jerusalem, by the Corner Gate, and by the Valley Gate, and by the angle, and strengthens them;
10 Ia juga mendirikan menara-menara berbenteng di daerah padang, dan menggali banyak sumur karena ternaknya banyak sekali, baik di dataran tinggi maupun di dataran rendah di sebelah barat. Karena ia menaruh perhatian pada pertanian, maka ia mempekerjakan banyak orang untuk membuka kebun-kebun anggur di daerah pegunungan, dan untuk menggarap tanah di daerah-daerah yang subur.
and he builds towers in the wilderness, and digs many wells, for he had much livestock, both in the low country and in the plain, farmers and vinedressers in the mountains, and in Carmel; for he was a lover of the ground.
11 Uzia mempunyai tentara besar yang selalu siap untuk bertempur. Mereka terdiri atas kesatuan-kesatuan yang jumlahnya dicatat oleh kedua sekretaris raja, yaitu Yeiel dan Maaseya di bawah pimpinan Hananya, salah seorang anggota staf raja.
And Uzziah has a force making war, going forth to the host, by troops, in the number of their reckoning by the hand of Jeiel the scribe and Masseiah the officer, by the hand of Hananiah [one] of the heads of the king.
12 Seluruh angkatan bersenjata itu terdiri dari 307.500 prajurit dipimpin oleh 2.600 perwira. Mereka semua mempunyai kemampuan yang sangat besar untuk bertempur dan membantu raja mengalahkan musuh.
The whole number of heads of the fathers of the mighty men of valor [is] two thousand and six hundred;
and by their hand [is] the force of the host—three hundred thousand and seven thousand and five hundred warriors, with mighty power to give help to the king against the enemy.
14 Uzia memperlengkapi tentaranya itu dengan perisai tombak, topi baja, baju besi, busur dan panah, serta batu pengumban.
And Uzziah prepares for them, for all the host, shields, and spears, and helmets, and coats of mail, and bows, even to stones of the slings.
15 Di Yerusalem para ahli senjatanya telah menciptakan alat yang dapat membidikkan anak panah dan batu-batu besar dari dalam menara dan sudut-sudut tembok kota. Uzia termasyhur di mana-mana, dan ia menjadi sangat berkuasa karena Allah sangat menolong dia.
And he makes inventions in Jerusalem—a device of an inventor—to be on the towers, and on the corners, to shoot with arrows and with great stones, and his name goes out to a distance, for he has been wonderfully helped until he has been strong.
16 Setelah Raja Uzia kuat, ia menjadi sombong, dan itu menyebabkan kehancurannya. Ia melanggar perintah TUHAN Allahnya karena memasuki Rumah TUHAN untuk membakar dupa di atas mezbah dupa.
And at his being strong his heart has been high to destruction, and he trespasses against his God YHWH, and goes into the temple of YHWH to make incense on the altar of incense.
17 Tetapi Imam Azarya bersama 80 imam lain yang kuat-kuat dan berani mengikuti dia
And Azariah the priest goes in after him, and with him eighty priests of YHWH, sons of valor,
18 untuk menentang perbuatannya itu. Mereka berkata, "Paduka Yang Mulia! Baginda tidak berhak membakar dupa untuk TUHAN. Itu tugas imam-imam keturunan Harun, sebab merekalah yang dikhususkan untuk itu. Hendaklah Baginda meninggalkan tempat yang suci ini! Baginda telah melawan TUHAN Allah, dan tidak lagi mendapat restu-Nya."
and they stand up against Uzziah the king, and say to him, “[It is] not for you, O Uzziah, to make incense to YHWH, but for priests, sons of Aaron, who are sanctified to make incense; go forth from the sanctuary, for you have trespassed, indeed, for you [will] not [have] honor from YHWH God.”
19 Pada waktu itu Uzia sedang berdiri di dekat mezbah dupa di Rumah TUHAN dengan alat pembakar dupa di tangannya. Ia marah kepada imam-imam itu, dan tiba-tiba timbul penyakit kulit yang mengerikan pada dahinya.
And Uzziah is angry, and in his hand [is] a censer to make incense, and in his being angry with the priests—the leprosy has risen in his forehead, before the priests, in the house of YHWH, from beside the altar of incense.
20 Azarya dan imam-imam lain melihat kepadanya dengan sangat terkejut, lalu mendesak supaya ia meninggalkan Rumah TUHAN. Cepat-cepat ia ke luar karena TUHAN telah menghukumnya.
And Azariah the head priest looks toward him, and all the priests, and behold, he [is] leprous in his forehead, and they hurry him there, and also he himself has hurried to go out, for YHWH has plagued him.
21 Sampai Raja Uzia meninggal penyakitnya itu tidak sembuh-sembuh. Ia diasingkan di sebuah rumah dan tidak diizinkan lagi memasuki Rumah TUHAN. Ia dibebaskan dari tugas-tugasnya, dan Yotam putranya memerintah rakyat sebagai wakilnya.
And Uzziah the king is a leper to the day of his death, and inhabits a separate house—a leper, for he has been cut off from the house of YHWH, and his son Jotham [is] over the house of the king, judging the people of the land.
22 Kisah lain mengenai pemerintahan Raja Uzia, sudah dicatat oleh Nabi Yesaya anak Amos.
And the rest of the matters of Uzziah, the first and the last, Isaiah son of Amoz the prophet has written;
23 Ketika meninggal, Uzia dikuburkan di tanah dekat makam raja-raja, tetapi tidak di makam itu sendiri, sebab ia berpenyakit kulit yang mengerikan. Yotam putranya menjadi raja menggantikan dia.
and Uzziah lies with his fathers, and they bury him with his fathers in the field of the burying-place that the kings have, for they said, “He [is] a leper”; and his son Jotham reigns in his stead.
