Ii Paralipomenon 26

1 Omnis autem populus Iuda filium eius Oziam annorum sedecim, constituit regem pro Amasia patre suo.

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

2 Ipse aedificavit Ailath, et restituit eam ditioni Iuda, postquam dormivit rex cum patribus suis.

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

3 Sedecim annorum erat Ozias cum regnare coepisset, et quinquagintaduobus annis regnavit in Ierusalem, nomen matris eius Iechelia de Ierusalem.

Sixteen years old was Uzziah when he began to reign; and he reigned fifty and two years in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Jechiliah of Jerusalem.

4 Fecitque quod erat rectum in oculis Domini iuxta omnia, quae fecerat Amasias pater eius.

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

5 Et exquisivit Dominum in diebus Zachariae intelligentis et videntis Deum: cumque requireret Dominum, direxit eum in omnibus.

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

6 Denique egressus est, et pugnavit contra Philisthiim, et destruxit murum Geth, et murum Iabniae, murumque Azoti: aedificavit quoque oppida in Azoto, et in Philisthiim.

And he went forth and warred against the Philistines, and brake down the wall of Gath, and the wall of Jabneh, and the wall of Ashdod; and he built cities in [the country of] Ashdod, and among the Philistines.

7 Et adiuvit eum Deus contra Philisthiim, et contra Arabes, qui habitabant in Gurbaal, et contra Ammonitas.

And God helped him against the Philistines, and against the Arabians that dwelt in Gur-baal, and the Meunim.

8 Appendebantque Ammonitae munera Oziae: et divulgatum est nomen eius usque ad introitum Aegypti propter crebras victorias.

And the Ammonites gave gifts to Uzziah: and his name spread abroad even to the entering in of Egypt; for he waxed exceeding strong.

9 Aedificavitque Ozias turres in Ierusalem super portam anguli, et super portam vallis, et reliquas in eodem muri latere, firmavitque eas.

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 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 agriculturae deditus.

And he built towers in the wilderness, and hewed out many cisterns, for he had much cattle; in the lowland also, and in the plain: [and he had] husbandmen and vinedressers in the mountains and in the fruitful fields; for he loved husbandry.

11 Fuit autem exercitus bellatorum eius, qui procedebant ad praelia sub manu Iehiel scribae, Maasiaeque doctoris, et sub manu Hananiae, qui erat de ducibus regis.

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

12 Omnisque numerus principum per familias virorum fortium, duorum millium sexcentorum.

The whole number of the heads of fathers’ [houses], even the mighty men of valour, was two thousand and six hundred.

13 Et sub eis universus exercitus trecentorum et septem millium quingentorum: qui erant apti ad bella, et pro rege contra adversarios dimicabant.

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

14 Praeparavit quoque eis Ozias, id est, cuncto exercitui, clypeos, et hastas, et galeas, et loricas, arcusque et fundas ad iaciendos lapides.

And Uzziah prepared for them, even for all the host, shields, and spears, and helmets, and coats of mail, and bows, and stones for slinging.

15 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.

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

16 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.

But when he was strong, his heart was lifted up so that he did corruptly, and he trespassed against the LORD his God; for he went into the temple of the LORD to burn incense upon the altar of incense.

17 Statimque ingressus post eum Azarias sacerdos, et cum eo Sacerdotes Domini octoginta, viri fortissimi,

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

18 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.

and they withstood Uzziah the king, and said unto him, It pertaineth not unto thee, Uzziah, to burn incense unto 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 thine honour from the LORD God.

19 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.

Then Uzziah was wroth; and he had a censer in his hand to burn incense; and while he was wroth with the priests, the leprosy brake forth in his forehead before the priests in the house of the LORD, beside the altar of incense.

20 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.

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 quickly from thence; yea, himself hasted also to go out, because the LORD had smitten him.

21 Fuit igitur Ozias rex leprosus usque ad diem mortis suae, et habitavit in domo separata plenus lepra, ob quam eiectus fuerat de domo Domini. Porro Ioatham filius eius rexit domum regis, et iudicabat populum terrae.

And Uzziah the king was a leper unto the day of his death, and dwelt in a several 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 Reliqua autem sermonum Oziae priorum et novissimorum scripsit Isaias filius Amos, propheta.

Now the rest of the acts of Uzziah, first and last, did Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, write.

23 Dormivitque Ozias cum patribus suis, et sepelierunt eum in agro regalium sepulchrorum, eo quod esset leprosus: regnavitque Ioatham filius eius pro eo.

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