< 2 Chronicles 26 >

1 All the people of Judah took Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in the place of his father Amaziah.
Então todo o povo de Judá tomou a Uzias, o qual era de dezesseis anos, e puseram-no por rei em lugar de Amazias seu pai.
2 He built Eloth and restored it to Judah. After that the king slept with his fathers.
Edificou ele a Elote, e a restituiu a Judá depois que o rei descansou com seus pais.
3 Uzziah was sixteen years old when he began to reign; and he reigned fifty-two years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jechiliah, of Jerusalem.
De dezesseis anos era Uzias quando começou a reinar, e cinquenta e dois anos reinou em Jerusalém. O nome de sua mãe foi Jecolias, de Jerusalém.
4 He did that which was right in the LORD’s eyes, according to all that his father Amaziah had done.
E fez o que era correto aos olhos do SENHOR, conforme a todas as coisas que havia feito Amazias seu pai.
5 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 prosper.
E persistiu em buscar a Deus nos dias de Zacarias, entendido em visões de Deus; e nos dias que ele buscou ao SENHOR, ele lhe prosperou.
6 He went out and fought against the Philistines, and broke down the wall of Gath, the wall of Jabneh, and the wall of Ashdod; and he built cities in the country of Ashdod, and among the Philistines.
E saiu, e lutou contra os filisteus, e rompeu o muro de Gate, e o muro de Jabné, e o muro de Asdode; e edificou cidades em Asdode, e na terra dos filisteus.
7 God helped him against the Philistines, and against the Arabians who lived in Gur Baal, and the Meunim.
E deu-lhe Deus ajuda contra os filisteus, e contra os árabes que habitavam em Gur-Baal, e contra os amonitas.
8 The Ammonites gave tribute to Uzziah. His name spread abroad even to the entrance of Egypt, for he grew exceedingly strong.
E os amonitas deram tributos a Uzias, e divulgou-se seu nome até a entrada do Egito; porque havia se tornado altamente poderoso.
9 Moreover Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem at the corner gate, at the valley gate, and at the turning of the wall, and fortified them.
Edificou também Uzias torres em Jerusalém, junto à porta do ângulo, e junto à porta do vale, e junto às esquinas; e fortificou-as.
10 He built towers in the wilderness, and dug out many cisterns, for he had much livestock, both in the lowlands and in the plains. He had farmers and vineyard keepers in the mountains and in the fruitful fields, for he loved farming.
Assim edificou torres no deserto, e abriu muitas cisternas: porque teve muitos gados, assim nos vales como nas planícies; e vinhas, e lavouras, assim nos montes como nos campos férteis; porque era amigo da agricultura.
11 Moreover Uzziah had an army of fighting men who 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.
Teve também Uzias esquadrões de guerreiros, os quais saíam à guerra em exército, segundo que estavam por lista feita por mão de Jeiel escriba e de Maaseias governador, e por mão de Hananias, um dos príncipes do rei.
12 The whole number of the heads of fathers’ households, even the mighty men of valor, was two thousand six hundred.
Todo o número dos chefes de famílias, valentes e esforçados, era dois mil e seiscentos.
13 Under their hand was an army, three hundred seven thousand five hundred, who made war with mighty power, to help the king against the enemy.
E sob a mão destes estava o exército de guerra, de trezentos sete mil e quinhentos guerreiros poderosos e fortes para ajudar ao rei contra os inimigos.
14 Uzziah prepared for them, even for all the army, shields, spears, helmets, coats of mail, bows, and stones for slinging.
E preparou-lhes Uzias para todo o exército, escudos, lanças, capacetes, couraças, arcos, e fundas de tirar pedras.
15 In Jerusalem, he made devices, invented by skillful men, to be on the towers and on the battlements, with which to shoot arrows and great stones. His name spread far abroad, because he was marvelously helped until he was strong.
E fez em Jerusalém máquinas por artifício de peritos, para que estivessem nas torres e nos baluartes, para lançar setas e grandes pedras, e sua fama se estendeu longe, porque se ajudou maravilhosamente, até fazer-se forte.
16 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 LORD’s temple to burn incense on the altar of incense.
Mas quando foi fortificado, seu coração se enalteceu até corromper-se; porque se rebelou contra o SENHOR seu Deus, entrando no templo do SENHOR para queimar incenso no altar do incenso.
17 Azariah the priest went in after him, and with him eighty priests of the LORD, who were valiant men.
E entrou atrás dele o sacerdote Azarias, e com ele oitenta sacerdotes do SENHOR, dos valentes.
18 They resisted Uzziah the king, and said to him, “It is not for you, Uzziah, to burn incense to the LORD, but for the priests the sons of Aaron, who are consecrated to burn incense. Go out of the sanctuary, for you have trespassed. It will not be for your honor from the LORD God.”
E puseram-se contra o rei Uzias, e disseram-lhe: Não a ti, ó Uzias, o queimar incenso ao SENHOR, mas sim aos sacerdotes filhos de Arão, que são consagrados para queimá-lo: sai do santuário, por que pecaste, e não te será para glória diante do SENHOR Deus.
19 Then Uzziah was angry. He had a censer in his hand to burn incense, and while he was angry with the priests, the leprosy broke out on his forehead before the priests in the LORD’s house, beside the altar of incense.
E irou-se Uzias, que tinha o incenso na mão para queimá-lo; e em esta sua ira contra os sacerdotes, a lepra lhe surgiu na testa diante dos sacerdotes na casa do SENHOR, junto ao altar do incenso.
20 Azariah the chief priest and all the priests looked at him, and behold, he was leprous in his forehead; and they thrust him out quickly from there. Indeed, he himself also hurried to go out, because the LORD had struck him.
E olhou-lhe Azarias o sumo sacerdote, e todos os sacerdotes, e eis que a lepra estava em sua testa; e fizeram-lhe sair apressadamente daquele lugar; e ele também se deu pressa a sair, porque o SENHOR o havia ferido.
21 Uzziah the king was a leper to the day of his death, and lived in a separate house, being a leper; for he was cut off from the LORD’s house. Jotham his son was over the king’s house, judging the people of the land.
Assim o rei Uzias foi leproso até o dia de sua morte, e habitou em uma casa separada, leproso, pelo que havia sido separado da casa do SENHOR; e Jotão seu filho teve cargo da casa real, governando ao povo da terra.
22 Now the rest of the acts of Uzziah, first and last, Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, wrote.
Os demais dos feitos de Uzias, primeiros e últimos, escreveu-os Isaías profeta, filho de Amoz.
23 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.” Jotham his son reigned in his place.
E descansou Uzias com seus pais, e sepultaram-no com seus pais no campo dos sepulcros reais; porque disseram: Leproso é. E seu filho Jotão reinou Jotão em seu lugar.
