2 Tawarikh 26

1 Segenap bangsa Yehuda mengambil Uzia, yang masih berumur enam belas tahun dan menobatkan dia menjadi raja menggantikan ayahnya, Amazia.

Then all the people of Judah took Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king instead of his father Amaziah.

2 Ia memperkuat Elot dan mengembalikannya kepada Yehuda, sesudah raja mendapat perhentian bersama-sama dengan nenek moyangnya.

He built Eloth, and restored it to Judah, after the king slept with his fathers.

3 Uzia berumur enam belas tahun pada waktu ia menjadi raja dan lima puluh dua tahun lamanya ia memerintah di Yerusalem. Nama ibunya ialah Yekholya, dari Yerusalem.

Sixteen years old was Uzziah when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty and two years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name also was Jecoliah of Jerusalem.

4 Ia melakukan apa yang benar di mata TUHAN, tepat seperti yang dilakukan Amazia, ayahnya.

And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father Amaziah did.

5 Ia mencari Allah selama hidup Zakharia, yang mengajarnya supaya takut akan Allah. Dan selama ia mencari TUHAN, Allah membuat segala usahanya berhasil.

And he sought God in the days of Zechariah, who had understanding in the visions of God: and as long as he sought the LORD, God made him to prosper.

6 Maka majulah ia berperang melawan orang-orang Filistin dan membongkar tembok Gat, Yabne dan Asdod, lalu mendirikan kota-kota di sekitar Asdod dan di lain-lain wilayah orang Filistin.

And he went forth and warred against the Philistines, and broke down the wall of Gath, and the wall of Jabneh, and the wall of Ashdod, and built cities about Ashdod, and among the Philistines.

7 Allah menolongnya terhadap orang Filistin, dan terhadap orang Arab yang tinggal di Gur-Baal, dan terhadap orang Meunim.

And God helped him against the Philistines, and against the Arabians that dwelt in Gurbaal, and the Mehunims.

8 Orang-orang Amon membayar upeti kepada Uzia. Namanya termasyhur sampai ke Mesir, karena kekuatannya yang besar.

And the Ammonites gave gifts to Uzziah: and his name spread abroad even to the entrance of Egypt; for he strengthened himself exceedingly.

9 Uzia mendirikan menara di Yerusalem di atas Pintu Gerbang Sudut di atas Pintu Gerbang Lebak dan di atas Penjuru, serta mengokohkannya.

Moreover Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem at the corner gate, and at the valley gate, and at the turning of the wall, and fortified them.

10 Ia mendirikan juga menara-menara di padang gurun dan menggali banyak sumur, karena banyak ternaknya, baik di Dataran Rendah maupun di Dataran Tinggi. Juga ia mempunyai petani-petani dan penjaga-penjaga kebun anggur, di gunung-gunung dan di tanah yang subur, karena ia suka pada pertanian.

Also he built towers in the desert, and dug many wells: for he had many cattle, both in the low country, and in the plains: farmers also, and vinedressers in the mountains, and in Carmel: for he loved the soil.

11 Selain itu Uzia mempunyai tentara yang sanggup berperang, yang maju berperang dalam laskar-laskar menurut jumlah anak buah yang dicatat oleh panitera Yeiel dan penata usaha Maaseya, di bawah pimpinan Hananya, salah seorang panglima raja.

Moreover Uzziah had an army of fighting men, that went out to war by bands, according to the number of their reckoning by the hand of Jeiel the scribe and Maaseiah the ruler, under the hand of Hananiah, one of the king’s captains.

12 Kepala-kepala puak pahlawan-pahlawan yang gagah perkasa itu seluruhnya berjumlah dua ribu enam ratus orang.

The whole number of the heads of the father’s houses of the mighty men of valour were two thousand and six hundred.

13 Di bawah pimpinan mereka terdapat satu balatentara, terdiri dari tiga ratus tujuh ribu lima ratus orang yang gagah perkasa dalam berperang, untuk membantu raja dalam menghadapi musuh.

And under their hand was an army, three hundred thousand and seven thousand and five hundred, that made war with mighty power, to help the king against the enemy.

14 Uzia memperlengkapi seluruh tentara itu dengan perisai, tombak, ketopong, baju zirah, busur dan batu umban.

And Uzziah prepared for them throughout all the army shields, and spears, and helmets, and coats of mail, and bows, and slings to cast stones.

15 Ia membuat juga di Yerusalem alat-alat perang, ciptaan seorang ahli, yang dapat menembakkan anak panah dan batu besar, untuk ditempatkan di atas menara-menara dan penjuru-penjuru. Nama raja itu termasyhur sampai ke negeri-negeri yang jauh, karena ia ditolong dengan ajaib sehingga menjadi kuat.

And he made in Jerusalem engines, invented by skilful men, to be on the towers and upon the bulwarks, to shoot arrows and great stones. And his name spread far abroad; for he was marvellously helped, till he was strong.

16 Setelah ia menjadi kuat, ia menjadi tinggi hati sehingga ia melakukan hal yang merusak. Ia berubah setia kepada TUHAN, Allahnya, dan memasuki bait TUHAN untuk membakar ukupan di atas mezbah pembakaran ukupan.

But when he was strong, his heart was lifted up to his destruction: for he transgressed against the LORD his God, and went into the temple of the LORD to burn incense upon the altar of incense.

17 Tetapi imam Azarya mengikutinya dari belakang bersama-sama delapan puluh imam TUHAN, orang-orang yang tegas;

And Azariah the priest went in after him, and with him eighty priests of the LORD, that were valiant men:

18 mereka berdiri di depan raja Uzia dan berkata kepadanya: "Hai, Uzia, engkau tidak berhak membakar ukupan kepada TUHAN, hanyalah imam-imam keturunan Harun yang telah dikuduskan yang berhak membakar ukupan! Keluarlah dari tempat kudus ini, karena engkau telah berubah setia! Engkau tidak akan memperoleh kehormatan dari TUHAN Allah karena hal ini."

And they withstood Uzziah the king, and said to him, It appertaineth not to thee, Uzziah, to burn incense to the LORD, but to the priests the sons of Aaron, that are consecrated to burn incense: go out of the sanctuary; for thou hast trespassed; neither shall it be for thy honour from the LORD God.

19 Tetapi Uzia, dengan bokor ukupan di tangannya untuk dibakar menjadi marah. Sementara amarahnya meluap terhadap para imam, timbullah penyakit kusta pada dahinya di hadapan para imam di rumah TUHAN, dekat mezbah pembakaran ukupan.

Then Uzziah was angry, and had a censer in his hand to burn incense: and while he was angry with the priests, the leprosy even rose up in his forehead before the priests in the house of the LORD, from beside the incense altar.

20 Imam kepala Azarya dan semua imam lainnya memandang kepadanya, dan sesungguhnya, ia sakit kusta pada dahinya. Cepat-cepat mereka mengusirnya dari sana, dan ia sendiri tergesa-gesa keluar, karena TUHAN telah menimpakan tulah kepadanya.

And Azariah the chief priest, and all the priests, looked upon him, and, behold, he was leprous in his forehead, and they thrust him out from there; yea, himself hastened also to go out, because the LORD had smitten him.

21 Raja Uzia sakit kusta sampai kepada hari matinya, dan sebagai orang yang sakit kusta ia tinggal dalam sebuah rumah pengasingan, karena ia dikucilkan dari rumah TUHAN. Dan Yotam, anaknya, mengepalai istana raja dan menjalankan pemerintahan atas rakyat negeri itu.

And Uzziah the king was a leper to the day of his death, and dwelt in a separate house, being a leper; for he was cut off from the house of the LORD: and Jotham his son was over the king’s house, judging the people of the land.

22 Selebihnya dari riwayat Uzia, dari awal sampai akhir, ditulis oleh nabi Yesaya bin Amos.

Now the rest of the acts of Uzziah, first and last, were written by Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz.

23 Kemudian Uzia mendapat perhentian bersama-sama dengan nenek moyangnya, dan ia dikuburkan di samping nenek moyangnya di ladang dekat pekuburan raja-raja, karena ia berpenyakit kusta, kata orang. Maka Yotam, anaknya, menjadi raja menggantikan dia.

So Uzziah slept with his fathers, and they buried him with his fathers in the field of the burial which belonged to the kings; for they said, He is a leper: and Jotham his son reigned in his stead.
