< Chronicles II 26 >

1 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.
Tada sav judejski narod uze Uziju, komu bijaše šesnaest godina, i zakraljiše ga namjesto njegova oca Amasje.
2 He built Aelath, he recovered it to Juda, after the king slept with his fathers.
On je opet sagradio Elat vrativši ga Judeji, pošto je kralj počinuo kod svojih otaca.
3 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.
Uziji bijaše šesnaest godina kad se zakraljio, a kraljevao je pedeset i dvije godine u Jeruzalemu. Mati mu se zvala Jekolija, a bila je iz Jeruzalema.
4 And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that Amasias his father did.
Činio je što je pravo u Jahvinim očima, sasvim kao i njegov otac Amasja.
5 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.
Tražio je Boga za života Zaharije, koji ga je učio Božjem strahu; dokle je god tražio Jahvu, davao mu je Bog sreću.
6 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 amongst the Philistines.
On je izišao i zavojštio na Filistejce, srušio zid Gata, zid Jabne i zid Ašdoda; sagradio je mjesta po Ašdodu i Filisteji.
7 And the Lord strengthened him against the Philistines, and against the Arabians that lived on the rock, and against the Minaeans.
Bog mu je pomogao protiv Filistejaca i protiv Arapa, koji su živjeli u Gur Baalu, i protiv Meunjana.
8 And the Minaeans gave gifts to Ozias; and his fame spread as far as the entering in of Egypt, for he strengthened [himself] exceedingly.
Amonci su davali danak Uziji, a njegov se glas pronio do Egipta, jer se bijaše vrlo osilio.
9 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.
Uzija je sagradio kule u Jeruzalemu kod Ugaonih vrata, kod Dolinskih vrata i na uglu te ih utvrdio.
10 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.
Sagradio je i u pustinji kule i iskopao mnogo studenaca, jer je imao mnogo stoke i u Šefeli i po Ravnici, ratara i vinogradara u gorama i vrtovima, jer je volio poljodjelstvo.
11 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.
Uzija je imao vojsku vještu boju koja je išla u rat u četama po broju kako ih je izbrojio tajnik Jeiel i nadzornik Maasja pod upravom Hananije, jednoga od kraljevih knezova.
12 The whole number of the chiefs of families of the mighty men of war [was] two thousand and six hundred;
Svega je na broj bilo, obiteljskih glavara, hrabrih junaka, dvije tisuće i šest stotina.
13 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.
Pod njihovom je upravom bilo silne vojske trista sedam tisuća i pet stotina boju vičnih ratnika da pomažu kralju protiv neprijatelja.
14 And Ozias prepared for them, [even] for all the host, shields, and spears, and helmets, and breastplates, and bows, and slings for stones.
Uzija je pripravio svoj vojsci štitove, koplja, kacige, oklope, lukove i kamenje za praćke.
15 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.
Napravio je u Jeruzalemu vješto smišljene bojne sprave, iznašašće nekoga graditelja, da stoje na kulama i na kruništima, da bacaju strijele i veliko kamenje; pronio mu se glas nadaleko jer je uživao čudesnu pomoć sve dok se nije osilio.
16 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.
Ali kad se osilio, uzobijestilo mu se srce dotle da se pokvario te se iznevjerio Jahvi, svome Bogu, jer je ušao u Jahvin Hekal i počeo prinositi kad na kadionom žrtveniku.
17 And there went in after him Azarias the priest, and with him eighty priests of the Lord, mighty men.
Ali je za njim ušao svećenik Azarja i s njim osamdeset Jahvinih svećenika, čestitih ljudi.
18 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.
Oni ustadoše na kralja Uziju govoreći: “Nije tvoje, Uzijo, da kadiš Jahvi, nego je to dužnost svećenika, Aronovih sinova, koji su posvećeni da kade. Izlazi iz Svetišta! Iznevjerio si se. I ne služi ti na čast pred Bogom Jahvom!”
19 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.
Tada se Uzija rasrdi držeći u ruci kadionicu da kadi; kad se rasrdio na svećenike, izbi mu guba na čelu pred svećenicima u Domu Jahvinu kraj kadionog žrtvenika.
20 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.
Kad ga svećenički poglavar Azarja i svi svećenici izbližega pogledaše, a ono, gle, izbila mu guba na čelu; brže ga otjeraše odande, a i on sam pohitje da iziđe jer ga Jahve bijaše udario.
21 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.
Kralj Uzija ostade gubav do smrti i stanovaše u odvojenoj kući, jer bijaše odstranjen od Doma Jahvina; njegov je sin Jotam bio upravitelj kraljevskoga dvora i sudio je puku zemlje.
22 And the rest of the acts of Ozias, the first and the last, [are] written by Jessias the prophet.
Ostala Uzijina djela, od prvih do posljednjih, opisao je Amosov sin, prorok Izaija.
23 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.
Uzija je počinuo i sahranili su ga kraj njegovih otaca na polju kod kraljevske grobnice, rekavši: “Gubav je.” Na njegovo se mjesto zakraljio sin mu Jotam.
