1 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。(
Then all the people of Judah took Uzziah, when, he, was sixteen years old, —and made him king, instead of his father Amaziah.
2 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。)
He, built Eloth, and restored it to Judah, —after that the king slept with his fathers.
3 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。
Sixteen years old, was Uzziah, when he began to reign, and, fifty-two years, reigned he in Jerusalem, -and, the name of his mother, was Jechiliah, of Jerusalem.
4 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;
And he did that which was right, in the eyes of Yahweh, —according to all that Amaziah his father had done.
5 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。
And it came to pass that he set himself to seek God, in the days of Zechariah, who gave understanding in the seeing of God, —and, throughout the days of his seeking Yahweh, God, prospered him.
6 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。
So he went forth and made war against the Philistines, and brake down the wall of Gath, and the wall of Jabneh, and the wall of Ashdod, —and built cities in Ashdod, and among the Philistines.
7 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。
And God helped him against the Philistines and against the Arabians who dwelt in Gur-baal, and the Meunim.
8 亚扪人给乌西雅进贡。他的名声传到埃及,因他甚是强盛。
And the Ammonites gave a present to Uzziah, —and his name went forth as far as the entering in of Egypt, for he shewed exceeding great strength.
9 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;
And Uzziah built towers, in Jerusalem, over the corner-gate, and over the valley-gate, and over the angle, —and he made them strong.
10 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。
And he built towers in the desert, and digged many wells, for, much cattle, had he, both in the lowland, and in the plain, —husbandmen and vinedressers, in the mountains and in the fruitful field, for, a lover of the soil, was he.
11 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。
And it came to pass that Uzziah had a force ready to make war, to go forth as a host in company, by the number of their reckoning, under the direction of Jeiel the scribe, and Maaseiah the officer, —under the direction of Hananiah, from among the captains of the king.
12 族长、大能勇士的总数共有二千六百人,
The whole number of the ancestral chiefs pertaining to the heroes of valour, was two thousand and six hundred;
13 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。
and, under their direction, was the force of a host, three hundred and seven thousand five hundred, ready to make war, with the strength of a force, —for helping the king against an enemy.
14 乌西雅为全军预备盾牌、枪、盔、甲、弓,和甩石的机弦,
And Uzziah prepared for them, for all the host, bucklers and spears and helmets, and coats of mail, and bows, —and yea even sling-stones.
15 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。
And he made in Jerusalem, inventions invented of the inventor, to be upon the towers and upon the turrets, for throwing with arrows, and with great stones, —so that his name went forth afar, for he was marvellously helped, until that he was strong.
16 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。
But, when he became strong, uplifted was his heart, unto ruin, for he acted unfaithfully against Yahweh his God, —and entered into the temple of Yahweh, to burn incense upon the altar of incense.
17 祭司亚撒利雅率领耶和华勇敢的祭司八十人,跟随他进去。
Then entered after him, Azariah the priest, —and with him eighty priests of Yahweh, sons of valour;
18 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。”
and they took their stand against Uzziah the king, and said unto him-It is not, for thee, O Uzziah, to burn incense unto Yahweh, but, for the priests, the sons of Aaron, who are hallowed, to burn incense. Go forth out of the sanctuary, for thou hast acted unfaithfully, and, not to thee, for an honour, [shall it be] from Yahweh Elohim.
19 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。
Then was Uzziah wroth, and, in his hand, was a censer, to burn incense, —and, when he was wroth with the priests, a leprosy, shot forth in his forehead, before the priests, in the house of Yahweh, from off the altar of incense.
20 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。
When Azariah the chief priest and all the priests turned towards him, lo! he, was leprous, in his forehead, so they hastened him from thence, —yea, even he himself, hurried to go out, because Yahweh had smitten him.
21 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。
And it came to pass that, Uzziah the king, was a leper until the day of his death, and dwelt in a house apart—a leper, for he was cut off from the house of Yahweh, —and, Jotham his son, was over the house of the king, judging the people of the land.
22 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。
Now, the rest of the story of Uzziah, first and last, hath Isaiah son of Amoz, the prophet, written.
23 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。
And Uzziah slept with his fathers, and they buried him with his fathers in the field of burial that pertained unto the kings, for they said, A leper, he is. And Jotham his son reigned in his stead.
