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 Judah took Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in the room of his father Amaziah.
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 Eloth, and restored it to Judah, 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.
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 Jecoliah 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 his father Amaziah 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 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 Han gjorde ei herferd imot filistarane og reiv ned bymurarne i Gat, Jabne og Asdod og bygde byar i Asdodbygderne og i Filistarlandet.
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 he built cities in the country of Ashdod, 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 Gur-baal, and the Meunim.
8 Ammonitarne svara skatt til Uzzia, og gjetordet um honom nådde til Egyptarland; for han vart overlag megtig.
And the Ammonites gave gifts to Uzziah; and his name spread abroad even to the entrance of Egypt; for he waxed exceeding strong.
9 Uzzia bygde tårn i Jerusalem ved Hyrneporten, Dalporten og murhyrna og vigfeste deim.
Moreover Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem at the corner gate, and at the valley gate, and at the Turning, 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 be built towers in the wilderness, and hewed out many cisterns, for he had much cattle; in the Lowland also, and in the table-land; and he had husbandmen and vinedressers in the mountains and in the fruitful fields; for he 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.
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 Det fulle talet av dei ættarhovdingarne som var stridsføre, var tvo tusund og seks hundrad.
The whole number of the heads of fathers' houses, even the mighty men of valour, was two thousand and 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 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 Uzzia budde heile heren med skjoldar, spjot, hjelmar, brynjor, bogar og slyngjesteinar.
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 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, invented by skilful men, to be on the towers and upon the corners, wherewith to shoot arrows and great stones. And his name spread far abroad; for he was marvellously helped, till he was strong.
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 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 Då gjekk presten Azarja etter honom, og med honom åtteti av Herrens prestar, djerve menner.
And Azariah the priest went in after him, and with him fourscore priests of the LORD, that were 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.»
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 it pertaineth to burn incense; go out of the sanctuary; for thou hast trespassed; neither shall it be for thy honour from 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.
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 broke forth in his forehead before the priests in the house of the LORD, beside 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 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 made haste also to go out, because the LORD had smitten him.
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 Uzziah the king was a leper unto the day of his death, and dwelt in a house set apart, 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 Det som elles er å fortelja um Uzzia frå fyrst til sist, hev profeten Jesaja, son åt Amos, skrive upp.
Now the rest of the acts of Uzziah, first and last, did Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, write.
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.
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.
