2 Chronicles 26
1 All the people of Judah took Uzziah, sixteen years old, and made him king in succession to his father Amaziah.
犹大众民立亚玛谢的儿子乌西雅接续他父作王，那时他年十六岁。（
2 He rebuilt Eloth and brought it back into the kingdom of Judah after Amaziah died.
亚玛谢与他列祖同睡之后，乌西雅收回以禄仍归犹大，又重新修理。）
3 Uzziah was sixteen when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for fifty-two years. His mother's name was Jecoliah and she came from Jerusalem.
乌西雅登基的时候年十六岁，在耶路撒冷作王五十二年。他母亲名叫耶可利雅，是耶路撒冷人。
4 He did what was right in the Lord's sight as his father Amaziah had done.
乌西雅行耶和华眼中看为正的事，效法他父亚玛谢一切所行的；
5 He worshiped God during the lifetime of Zechariah, who taught him to respect God. As long as he followed the Lord, God made him successful.
通晓 神默示，撒迦利亚在世的时候，乌西雅定意寻求 神；他寻求耶和华， 神就使他亨通。
6 Uzziah went to war against the Philistines, and he demolished the walls of Gath, Jabneh, and Ashdod. Then he built cities around Ashdod and in other Philistine areas.
他出去攻击非利士人，拆毁了迦特城、雅比尼城，和亚实突城；在非利士人中，在亚实突境内，又建筑了些城。
7 God helped him against the Philistines, against the Arabians living in Gurbaal, and against the Meunites.
神帮助他攻击非利士人和住在姑珥·巴力的阿拉伯人，并米乌尼人。
8 The Meunites brought gifts as tribute to Uzziah. His reputation spread as far as the border of Egypt, for he became very powerful.
亚扪人给乌西雅进贡。他的名声传到埃及，因他甚是强盛。
9 Uzziah built defensive towers in Jerusalem at the Corner Gate and the Valley Gate, and at the corner, and strengthened them.
乌西雅在耶路撒冷的角门和谷门，并城墙转弯之处，建筑城楼，且甚坚固；
10 He also built towers in the desert and cut many water cisterns out of the rock, because he had a great deal of livestock in the foothills and on the plains. He had farmers and vineyard workers in the hills and in the fertile lowlands, for he loved the soil.
又在旷野与高原和平原，建筑望楼，挖了许多井，因他的牲畜甚多；又在山地和佳美之地，有农夫和修理葡萄园的人，因为他喜悦农事。
11 Uzziah had an army of battle-ready soldiers, in divisions according to the numbers in the listing made by Jeiel the secretary and Maaseiah the official, under the direction of Hananiah, one of the king's commanders.
乌西雅又有军兵，照书记耶利和官长玛西雅所数点的，在王的一个将军哈拿尼雅手下，分队出战。
12 The total number of family leaders was 2,600 fighting men.
族长、大能勇士的总数共有二千六百人，
13 Under their command was an army of 307,500 trained for battle, who had the power to help the king fight against the enemy.
他们手下的军兵共有三十万七千五百人，都有大能，善于争战，帮助王攻击仇敌。
14 Uzziah supplied shields, spears, helmets, armor, bows, and slingstones for the whole army.
乌西雅为全军预备盾牌、枪、盔、甲、弓，和甩石的机弦，
15 He also made skillfully designed war machines to fire arrows and large stones from the towers and corners of the wall. His reputation spread far and wide, for he received extraordinary help until he became really powerful.
又在耶路撒冷使巧匠做机器，安在城楼和角楼上，用以射箭发石。乌西雅的名声传到远方；因为他得了非常的帮助，甚是强盛。
16 But because he was powerful he became arrogant, and this sled to his ruin. For he was unfaithful to the Lord his God, and he himself entered the Lord's Temple to burn incense on the altar of incense.
他既强盛，就心高气傲，以致行事邪僻，干犯耶和华—他的 神，进耶和华的殿，要在香坛上烧香。
17 Azariah the priest went in after him, with eighty brave priests of the Lord.
祭司亚撒利雅率领耶和华勇敢的祭司八十人，跟随他进去。
18 They stood up to him, and told him, “It's not your place to burn incense to the Lord. Only the priests, the descendants of Aaron, who have been set apart as holy may burn incense. Get out of the sanctuary, for you have sinned, and the Lord God will not bless you.”
他们就阻挡乌西雅王，对他说：“乌西雅啊，给耶和华烧香不是你的事，乃是亚伦子孙承接圣职祭司的事。你出圣殿吧！因为你犯了罪。你行这事，耶和华 神必不使你得荣耀。”
19 Uzziah, who was holding a censer in his hand to offer incense, became furious. But as he raged at the priests in the Lord's Temple in front of the altar of incense, leprosy appeared on his forehead.
乌西雅就发怒，手拿香炉要烧香。他向祭司发怒的时候，在耶和华殿中香坛旁众祭司面前，额上忽然发出大麻风。
20 When Azariah the chief priest and all the priests looked at him and saw the leprosy on his forehead, they rushed him out. In fact he too was in a hurry to leave, because the Lord had struck him.
大祭司亚撒利雅和众祭司观看，见他额上发出大麻风，就催他出殿；他自己也急速出去，因为耶和华降灾与他。
21 King Uzziah was a leper until the day he died. He lived by himself as a leper, barred from entering the Lord's Temple, while his son Jotham was placed in charge or the king's affairs and governed the country.
乌西雅王长大麻风直到死日，因此住在别的宫里，与耶和华的殿隔绝。他儿子约坦管理家事，治理国民。
22 The rest of what Uzziah did, from beginning to end, was written down by the prophet Isaiah, son of Amoz.
乌西雅其余的事，自始至终都是亚摩斯的儿子先知以赛亚所记的。
23 Uzziah died and was buried near them in a cemetery belonging to the kings, for people said, “He was a leper.” His son Jotham took over as king.
乌西雅与他列祖同睡，葬在王陵的田间他列祖的坟地里；因为人说，他是长大麻风的。他儿子约坦接续他作王。
