2 Krønikebok 26
1 So tok heile folket i Juda Uzzia og gjorde honom til konge i staden for Amasja, far hans; han var sekstan år gamall.
And all the people of Juda took his son Ozias, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in the room of Amasias his father.
2 Det var han som bygde Elot og lagde det under Juda att, då kongen hadde lagt seg til kvile hjå federne sine.
He built Ailath, and restored it to the dominion of Juda, after that the king slept with his fathers.
3 Sekstan år gamall var Uzzia då han vart konge, og tvo og femti år rådde han i Jerusalem. Mor hans heitte Jekilja og var frå Jerusalem.
Ozias was sixteen years old when he began to reign, and he reigned two and fifty years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Jechelia of Jerusalem.
4 Han gjorde det som rett var i Herrens augo, plent som Amasja, far hans, hadde gjort.
And he did that which was right in the eyes of the Lord, according to all that Amasias his father had done.
5 Han heldt ved med å søkja Gud so lenge Zakarja livde, han som skyna Guds syner. Og so lenge som han held seg til Herren, gav Gud honom lukka.
And he sought the Lord in the days of Zacharias that understood and saw God: and as long as he sought the Lord, he directed him in all things.
6 Han gjorde ei herferd imot filistarane og reiv ned bymurarne i Gat, Jabne og Asdod og bygde byar i Asdodbygderne og i Filistarlandet.
Moreover he went forth and fought against the Philistines, and broke down the wall of Geth, and the wall of Jabnia, and the wall of Azotus: and he built towns in Azotus, and among the Philistines.
7 Gud hjelpte honom mot filistarane og mot dei arabarane som bur i Gur-Ba’al og mot me’unitarne.
And God helped him against the Philistines, and against the Arabians, that dwelt in Gurbaal, and against the Ammonites.
8 Ammonitarne svara skatt til Uzzia, og gjetordet um honom nådde til Egyptarland; for han vart overlag megtig.
And the ammonites gave gifts to Ozias: and his name was spread abroad even to the entrance of Egypt for his frequent victories.
9 Uzzia bygde tårn i Jerusalem ved Hyrneporten, Dalporten og murhyrna og vigfeste deim.
And Ozias built towers in Jerusalem over the gate of the corner, and over the gate of the valley, and the rest, in the same side of the wall, and fortified them.
10 Framleides bygde han tårn på heidi og hogg ut mange brunnar, for han hadde store buskaper både i låglandet og på høgsletta, og han hadde jordbruks- og vinhage-arbeidarar i fjellbygdi og i fruktlandet, for han var ein ihuga jordbrukar.
And he built towers in the wilderness, and dug many cisterns, for he had much cattle both in the plains, and in the waste of the desert: he had also vineyards and dressers of vines in the mountains, and in Carmel: for he was a man that loved husbandry.
11 Uzzia hadde ein krigsbudd her, som drog i herferd i flokkar etter teljing og mynstring ved riksskrivaren Je’uel og tilsynsmannen Ma’aseja og tilskipning av Hananja, som var ein av hovdingarne åt kongen.
And the army of his fighting men, that went out to war, was under the hand of Jehiel the scribe, and Maasias the doctor, and under the hand of Henanias, who was one of the king’s captains.
12 Det fulle talet av dei ættarhovdingarne som var stridsføre, var tvo tusund og seks hundrad.
And the whole number of the chiefs by the families of valiant men were two thousand six hundred.
13 Under førarskapen deira stod det ein herstyrke på tri hundrad og sju tusund og fem hundrad våpnføre mann i full kraft til å hjelpa kongen mot fienden.
And the whole army under them three hundred and seven thousand five hundred: who were fit for war, and fought for the king against the enemy.
14 Uzzia budde heile heren med skjoldar, spjot, hjelmar, brynjor, bogar og slyngjesteinar.
And Ozias prepared for them, that is, for the whole army, shields, and spears, and helmets, and coats of mail, and bows, and slings to cast stones.
15 I Jerusalem gjorde han kunstigt uttenkte maskinor; dei vart uppsette på tårni og murtindarne og sende ut piler og store steinar. Soleis nådde gjetordet hans vida ikring, for han vart hjelpt på ein underfull måte til han vart megtig.
And he made in Jerusalem engines of diverse kinds, which he placed in the towers, and in the corners of the walls, to shoot arrows, and great stones: and his name went forth far abroad, for the Lord helped him, and had strengthened him.
16 Men då han var megtig vorten, vart hjarta hans ovmodigt, so han skjemde seg ut og gjorde urett mot Herren, sin Gud; han gjekk inn i Herrens hus og vilde kveikja røykjelse på røykjelsesaltaret.
But when he was made strong, his heart was lifted up to his destruction, and he neglected the Lord his God: and going into the temple of the Lord, he had a mind to burn incense upon the altar of incense.
17 Då gjekk presten Azarja etter honom, og med honom åtteti av Herrens prestar, djerve menner.
And immediately Azarias the priest going in after him, and with him fourscore priests of the Lord, most valiant men,
18 Dei steig fram mot kong Uzzia og sagde til honom: «Du hev ingen ting med å brenna røykjelse for Herren, Uzzia, men berre prestarne, sønerne åt Aron, som er vigde til å brenna røykjelse. Gakk ut or heilagdomen, for du hev forbrote deg, og det tener ikkje til æra for deg for Herren Gud.»
Withstood the king and said: It doth not belong to thee, Ozias, to burn incense to the Lord, but to the priests, that is, to the sons of Aaron, who are consecrated for this ministry: go out of the sanctuary, do not despise: for this thing shall not be accounted to thy glory by the Lord God.
19 Uzzia stod med røykjelsesskåli i handi og skulde til å kveikja i røykjelsen, og han vart harm; men då vreiden hans bar laus imot prestarne, då slo spillsykja ut på panna hans, som han stod der framfyre prestarne attmed røykjelsesaltaret i Herrens hus.
And Ozias was angry, and holding in his hand the censer to burn incense, threatened the priests. And presently there rose a leprosy in his forehead before the priests, in the house of the Lord at the altar of incense.
20 Og då øvstepresten Azarja og alle prestarne snudde seg imot honom, såg dei at han var spillsjuk på panna. Då førde dei honom straks burt, og sjølv skunda han seg med å ganga ut, då Herren hadde slege honom.
And Azarias the high priest, and all the rest of the priests looked upon him, and saw the leprosy in his forehead, and they made haste to thrust him out. Yea himself also being frightened, hasted to go out, because he had quickly felt the stroke of the Lord.
21 Soleis vart kong Uzzia spillsjuk til sin døyande dag, og han budde i eit hus for seg sjølv i spillsykja si; for han var utestengd ifrå Herrens hus. Og Jotam, son hans, var drottsete, og heldt rettargang for folket i landet.
And Ozias the king was a leper unto the day of his death, and he dwelt in a house apart being full of the leprosy, for which he had been cast out of the house of the Lord. And Joatham his son governed the king’s house, and judged the people of the land.
22 Det som elles er å fortelja um Uzzia frå fyrst til sist, hev profeten Jesaja, son åt Amos, skrive upp.
But the rest of the acts of Ozias first and last were written by Isaias the son of Amos, the prophet.
23 Og Uzzia lagde seg til kvile hjå federne sine, og dei gravla honom hjå federne hans på den marki der kongegravarne var; for dei kom i hug at han hadde vore spillsjuk. Og Jotam, son hans, vart konge i staden hans.
And Ozias slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the field of the royal sepulchres, because he was a leper: and Joatham his son reigned in his stead.
