< 2 Crônicas 26 >
1 Então todo o povo tomou a Uzias, que era da idade de dezeseis anos, e o fizeram rei em lugar de seu pai Amasias.
Then all the people of Judah appointed his son, Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, as king in place of his father, Amaziah.
2 Este edificou a Elod, e a restituiu a Judá, depois que o rei adormeceu com seus pais.
He built up Eloth, and he restored it to the dominion of Judah. After this, the king slept with his fathers.
3 Era Uzias da idade de dezeseis anos quando começou a reinar, e cincoênta e cinco anos reinou em Jerusalém: e era o nome de sua mãe Jecholia, de Jerusalém.
Uzziah was sixteen years old when he had begun to reign. And he reigned for fifty-two years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Jecoliah, from Jerusalem.
4 E fez o que era reto aos olhos do Senhor; conforme a tudo o que fizera Amasias seu pai.
And he did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, in accord with all that his father, Amaziah, had done.
5 Porque deu-se a buscar a Deus nos dias de Zacarias, entendido nas visões de Deus: e nos dias em que buscou ao Senhor Deus o fez prosperar.
And he sought the Lord, during the days of Zechariah, who understood and saw God. And while he was seeking the Lord, he directed him in all things.
6 Porque saiu, e guerreou contra os philisteus, e quebrou o muro de Gath, e o muro de Jabne, e o muro de Asdod: e edificou cidades em Asdod, e entre os philisteus.
Indeed, he went out and fought against the Philistines. And he destroyed the wall of Gath, and the wall of Jabneh, and the wall of Ashdod. Also, he built towns in Ashdod, and among the Philistines.
7 E Deus o ajudou contra os philisteus e contra os arabios que habitavam em Gur-baal, e contra os meunitas.
And God helped him against the Philistines, and against the Arabians, who were living in Gurbaal, and against the Ammonites.
8 E os ammonitas deram presentes a Uzias: e o seu renome foi espalhado até à entrada do Egito, porque se fortificou altamente.
And the Ammonites weighed out gifts to Uzziah. And his name became widely known, even to the entrance of Egypt, because of his frequent victories.
9 Também Uzias edificou torres em Jerusalém, à porta da esquina, e à porta do vale, e aos ângulos, e as fortificou.
And Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem, above the gate of the corner, and above the gate of the valley, and others on the same side of the wall, and he fortified them.
10 Também edificou torres no deserto, e cavou muitos poços; porque tinha muito gado, tanto nos vales como nas campinas; lavradores e vinhateiros, nos montes e nos campos férteis; porque era amigo da agricultura.
Then he also constructed towers in the wilderness, and dug many cisterns, because he had much cattle, both in the plains and in the starkness of the wilderness. Also, he had vineyards and dressers of vines in the mountains and at Carmel. Certainly, he was a man devoted to agriculture.
11 Tinha também Uzias um exército de homens destros na guerra, que saiam ao exército em tropas, segundo o número da sua mostra, por mão de Jeiel, chanceler, e Maaseias, oficial, debaixo da mão d'Hananias, um dos príncipes do rei.
Now the army of his warriors, who would go forth to battle, was under the hand of Jeiel, the scribe, and Maaseiah, the teacher, and under the hand of Hananiah, who was among the king’s commanders.
12 Todo o número dos chefes dos pais, varões valentes, era de dois mil e seiscentos.
And the entire number of the leaders, by the families of strong men, was two thousand six hundred.
13 E debaixo das suas ordens havia um exército guerreiro de trezentos e sete mil e quinhentos homens, que faziam a guerra com força belicosa, para ajudar o rei contra os inimigos.
And the entire army under them was three hundred and seven thousand five hundred, who were fit for war, and who fought on behalf of the king against the adversaries.
14 E preparou-lhes Uzias, para todo o exército, escudos, e lanças, e capacetes, e couraças e arcos; e até fundas para atirar pedras.
Also, Uzziah prepared for them, that is, for the entire army, shields, and spears, and helmets, and breastplates, and bows, as well as slings for the casting of stones.
15 Também fez em Jerusalém máquinas da invenção de engenheiros, que estivessem nas torres e nos cantos, para atirarem flechas e grandes pedras: e voou a sua fama até muito longe; porque foi maravilhosamente ajudado, até que se fortificou.
And in Jerusalem, he made various kinds of machines, which he placed in the towers, and at the corners of the walls, so as to shoot arrows and large stones. And his name went forth to far away places, for the Lord was helping him and had strengthened him.
16 Mas, havendo-se já fortificado, exaltou-se o seu coração até se corromper: e transgrediu contra o Senhor, seu Deus, porque entrou no templo do Senhor para queimar incenso no altar do incenso.
But when he had become strong, his heart was lifted up, even to his own destruction. And he neglected the Lord his God. And entering into the temple of the Lord, he intended to burn incense upon the altar of incense.
17 Porém o sacerdote Azarias entrou após ele, e com ele oitenta sacerdotes do Senhor, varões valentes.
And entering immediately after him, Azariah the priest, and with him eighty priests of the Lord, very valiant men,
18 E resistiram ao rei Uzias, e lhe disseram: A ti, Uzias, não compete queimar incenso perante o Senhor, mas aos sacerdotes, filhos de Aarão, que são consagrados para queimar incenso; sai do santuário, porque transgrediste; e não será isto para honra tua da parte do Senhor Deus
withstood the king, and they said: “It is not your office, Uzziah, to burn incense to the Lord; rather, it is the office of the priests, that is, of the sons of Aaron, who have been consecrated for this same ministry. Depart from the sanctuary, otherwise you will be in contempt. For this act will not be reputed to you for your glory by the Lord God.”
19 Então Uzias se indignou: e tinha o incensário na sua mão para queimar incenso: indignando-se ele pois contra os sacerdotes, a lepra lhe saiu à testa perante os sacerdotes, na casa do Senhor, junto ao altar do incenso;
And Uzziah, having become angry, while holding in his hand the censer so that he might burn incense, threatened the priests. And immediately a leprosy arose on his forehead, in the sight of the priests, in the house of the Lord, at the altar of incense.
20 Então o sumo sacerdote Azarias olhou para ele, como também todos os sacerdotes, e eis que já estava leproso na sua testa, e apressuradamente o lançaram fora: e até ele mesmo se deu pressa a sair, visto que o Senhor o ferira.
And when the high priest Azariah, and all the rest of the priests, had gazed upon him, they saw the leprosy on his forehead, and they hurried to expel him. Then too, he himself, becoming terrified, rushed to depart, because immediately he had become aware of the wound of the Lord.
21 Assim ficou leproso o rei Uzias até ao dia da sua morte: e morou, por ser leproso, numa casa separada, porque foi excluido da casa do Senhor: e Jothão, seu filho, tinha o cargo da casa do rei, julgando o povo da terra.
And so, king Uzziah was a leper, even until the day of his death. And he lived in a separate house, being full of leprosy, because of which he had been ejected from the house of the Lord. Then Jotham, his son, directed the house of the king, and he was judging the people of the land.
22 Quanto ao mais dos sucessos d'Uzias, tanto os primeiros como os derradeiros, o profeta Isaias, filho d'Amós, o escreveu.
But the rest of the words of Uzziah, the first and the last, were written by the prophet Isaiah, the son of Amoz.
23 E dormiu Uzias com seus pais, e o sepultaram com seus pais no campo do sepulcro que era dos reis; porque disseram: Leproso é. E Jothão, seu filho, reinou em seu lugar.
And Uzziah slept with his fathers. And they buried him in the field of the royal sepulchers, because he was a leper. And Jotham, his son, reigned in his place.
