Ii Paralipomenon 26

1 omnis autem populus Iuda filium eius Oziam annorum sedecim constituit regem pro patre suo Amasia

Then all the people of the land took Ozias, and he was sixteen years old, and they made him king in the room of his father Amasias.

2 ipse aedificavit Ahilath et restituit eam dicioni Iudae postquam dormivit rex cum patribus suis

He built Aelath, he recovered it to Juda, after the king slept with his fathers.

3 sedecim annorum erat Ozias cum regnare coepisset et quinquaginta duobus annis regnavit in Hierusalem nomen matris eius Hiechelia de Hierusalem

Ozias began to reign at the age of sixteen years, and he reigned fifty-two years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Jechelia 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 sight of the Lord, according to all that Amasias his father did.

5 et exquisivit Deum in diebus Zacchariae intellegentis et videntis Deum cumque requireret Dominum direxit eum in omnibus

And he sought the Lord in the days of Zacharias, who understood the fear of the Lord; and in his days he sought the Lord, and the Lord prospered him.

6 denique egressus est et pugnavit contra Philisthim et destruxit murum Geth et murum Iabniae murumque Azoti aedificavit quoque oppida in Azoto et in Philisthim

And he went out and fought against the Philistines, and pulled down the walls of Geth, and the walls of Jabner, and the walls of Azotus, and he built cities [near] Azotus, and among the Philistines.

7 et adiuvit eum Deus contra Philisthim et contra Arabas qui habitabant in Gurbaal et contra Ammanitas

And the Lord strengthened him against the Philistines, and against the Arabians that lived on the rock, and against the Minaeans.

8 pendebantque Ammanitae munera Oziae et divulgatum est nomen eius usque ad introitum Aegypti propter crebras victorias

And the Minaeans gave gifts to Ozias; and his fame spread as far as the entering in of Egypt, for he strengthened [himself] exceedingly.

9 aedificavitque Ozias turres in Hierusalem super portam Anguli et super portam Vallis et reliquas in eodem muri latere firmavitque eas

And Ozias built towers in Jerusalem, both at the gate of the corners, and at the valley gate, and at the corners and he fortified them.

10 extruxit etiam turres in solitudine et fodit cisternas plurimas eo quod haberet multa pecora tam in campestribus quam in heremi vastitate vineas quoque habuit et vinitores in montibus et in Carmelo erat quippe homo agriculturae deditus

And he built towers in the wilderness, and dug many wells, for he had many cattle in the low country and in the plain; and vinedressers in the mountain country and in Carmel: for he was a husbandman.

11 fuit autem exercitus bellatorum eius qui procedebant ad proelia sub manu Hiehihel scribae Maasiaeque doctoris et sub manu Ananiae qui erat de ducibus regis

And Ozias had a host of warriors, and that went out orderly to war, and returned orderly in number; and their number was [made] by the hand of Jeiel the scribe, and Maasias the judge, by the hand of Ananias the king's deputy.

12 omnisque numerus principum per familias virorum fortium duum milium sescentorum

The whole number of the chiefs of families of the mighty men of war [was] two thousand six hundred;

13 et sub eis universus exercitus trecentorum et septem milium quingentorum qui erant apti ad bella et pro rege contra adversarios dimicabant

and with them was a warrior force, three hundred thousand and seven thousand and five hundred: these waged war mightily to help the king against [his] enemies.

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

And Ozias prepared for them, [even] for all the host, shields, and spears, and helmets, and breastplates, and bows, and slings for stones.

15 et fecit in Hierusalem diversi generis machinas quas in turribus conlocavit 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 machines invented by a wise contriver, to be upon the towers and upon the corners, to cast darts and great stones: and [the fame] of their preparation was heard at a distance; for he was wonderfully 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

And when he was strong, his heart was lifted up to his destruction; and he transgressed against the Lord his God, and went into the temple of the Lord to turn incense on the altar of incense.

17 statimque ingressus post eum Azarias sacerdos et cum eo sacerdotes Domini octoginta viri fortissimi

And there went in after him Azarias the priest, and with him eighty priests of the Lord, mighty 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 Ozias the king, and said to him, [It is] not for you, Ozias, to burn incense to the Lord, but only for the priests the sons of Aaron, who are consecrated to sacrifice: go forth of the sanctuary, for you have departed from the Lord; and this shall not be for glory to you from the Lord god.

19 iratusque est Ozias et tenens in manu turibulum ut adoleret incensum minabatur sacerdotibus statimque orta est lepra in fronte eius coram sacerdotibus in domo Domini super altare thymiamatis

And Ozias was angry, and in his hand [was] the censer to burn incense in the temple: and when he was angry with the priests, then the leprosy rose up in his forehead before the priests in the house of the Lord, over 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 adceleravit egredi eo quod sensisset ilico plagam Domini

And Azarias the chief priest, and the [other] priests, turned [to look] at him, and, behold, he [was] leprous in his forehead; and they got him hastily out thence, for he also hasted to go out, because the Lord had rebuked him.

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

And Ozias the king was a leper to the day of his death, and he lived [as] a leper in a separate house; for he was cut off from the house of the Lord: and Joathan his son [was set] over his kingdom, judging the people of the land.

22 reliqua autem sermonum Oziae priorum et novissimorum scripsit Esaias filius Amos propheta

And the rest of the acts of Ozias, the first and the last, [are] written by Jessias the prophet.

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

And Ozias slept with his fathers, and they buried him with his fathers in the field of the burial [place] of the kings, for they said, He is a leper; and Joatham his son reigned in his stead.
