Ii Paralipomenon 26

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

And all the people of Judah took 'Uzziyahu, who was then sixteen years old, and made him king instead of his father Amazyahu.

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

He it was that built Eloth, and brought it back to Judah, 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

Sixteen years old was 'Uzziyahu when he became king, and fifty and two years did he reign in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Yecholyah of Jerusalem.

4 fecitque quod erat rectum in oculis Domini iuxta omnia quae fecerat Amasias pater eius

And he did what is right in the eyes of the Lord, in accordance with all that his father Amazyahu had done.

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

And he was [inclined] to seek God in the days of Zecharyahu, who had understanding in the visions of God; and during the time that he sought the Lord, God caused him to prosper.

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 forth and made war against the Philistines, and he broke 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 Philisthim et contra Arabas qui habitabant in Gurbaal et contra Ammanitas

And God helped him against the Philistines, and against the Arabians that dwelt in Gur-ba'al, and the Me'unim.

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

And the 'Ammonites gave presents to 'Uzziyahu: and his name extended even to the entrance of Egypt; for he became exceedingly strong.

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

And 'Uzziyahu built towers in Jerusalem, above the corner-gate, and above the valley-gate, and at the angle, and made them strong.

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

He built also towers in the desert, and hewed out many wells; for he had much cattle, both in the lowlands and in the plain; [also] husbandmen, and vintners in the mountains, and in Carmel; for he loved husbandry.

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

Moreover 'Uzziyah had an army of fighting men, that went out to the host by bands, according to the number of those mustered of them through the hand of Je'iel the scribe and Ma'asseyahu the overseer, under the supervision of Chananyahu, one of the king's captains.

12 omnisque numerus principum per familias virorum fortium duum milium sescentorum

The whole number of the chiefs of the family divisions of the mighty men of valor was two thousand and 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 under their supervision was an efficient army, [of] 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 'Uzziyahu prepared for them, for all the host, shields, and spears, and helmets, and coats of mail, and bows, and stones for slinging.

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 artificial contrivances, contrived by a skilful man, to be [stationed] on the towers and upon the ramparts, to shoot off arrows and great stones. And his name extended ever so far abroad; for he was marvelously assisted, till he became 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 to his destruction; and he became unfaithful against the Lord his God, and 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 there went in after him 'Azaryahu the priest, and with him were priests of the Lord, valiant men, [to the number of] eighty;

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 stood forward against king 'Uzziyahu, and they said unto him, It is not for thee, O 'Uzziyahu, to burn incense unto the Lord, but for the priests the sons of Aaron, who are consecrated to burn incense: go out of the sanctuary; for thou hast trespassed; and it will not be for thy honor 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

But 'Uzziyahu became wroth, and in his hand was a censer to burn incense: and while he was wroth with the priests, the leprosy even broke out on his forehead before the priests in the house of the Lord, above the altar of the 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 when 'Azaryahu the chief priest, with all the priests, turned about toward him, behold, he was leprous on his forehead, and they hurried him away from there: yea, he also made haste to go out, because the Lord had afflicted 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 king 'Uzziyahu was a leper until the day of his death, and dwelt in the leper-house, as a leper; for he was excluded from the house of the Lord: and Jotham his son was over the king's house, [and] judged 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 'Uzziyahu, the first and the last, did Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amos write.

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

And 'Uzziyahu slept with his fathers, and they buried him with his fathers in the burial-field which belonged to the kings; for they said, He is a leper: and Jotham his son became king in his stead.
