2 Chronicles 26
1 After King Amaziah died, all the people of Judah appointed his son Uzziah, who then was 16 years old, as their king. [One of the things that happened] while he was the king [was that] his men captured Elath [town on the Gulf of Aqaba] and rebuilt it.
Тада сав народ Јудин узе Озију, коме беше шеснаест година, и зацарише га на место оца његовог Амасије.
Он сазида Елат повративши га Јуди пошто цар почину код отаца својих.
3 Uzziah ruled in Jerusalem for 52 years. His mother was Jecoliah; she was from Jerusalem.
Озији беше шеснаест година кад се зацари, и царова педесет и две године у Јерусалиму. Матери му беше име Јехолија из Јерусалима.
4 Uzziah did things that Yahweh considered to be good, like his father Amaziah had done.
Он чињаше што је право пред Господом сасвим како је чинио Амасија отац његов.
5 He tried to please God while [the priest] Zechariah was living, because Zechariah taught him to revere God. As long as Uzziah tried to please God, God enabled him to be successful.
И тражаше Бога докле жив беше Захарија који разумеваше утваре Божије; и докле год тражаше Господа, даваше му срећу Бог.
6 Uzziah and his army started to fight against the army of Philistia. They tore down the walls of Gath, Jabneh, and Ashdod [cities]. Then they rebuilt the towns near Ashdod and in other places in Philistia.
Јер изашав војеваше с Филистејима, и обори зидове Гату и зидове Јавни и зидове Азоту; и сазида градове у земљи азотској и по Филистејима.
7 God helped them to fight the army of Philistia and the Arabs who lived in [the town of] Gur-Baal and the descendants of Meun who had come to that area from Edom.
И Бог му поможе против Филистеја и против Арапа, који живљаху у Гурвалу, и против Амонаца.
8 Even the Ammon [people-group] paid taxes to Uzziah each year. So Uzziah became famous as far as the border of Egypt, because he had become very powerful.
И Амонци даваху дарове Озији, и разнесе се име његово до Мисира, јер осили веома.
9 Uzziah’s [workers] built watchtowers in Jerusalem at the Corner Gate, at the Valley Gate, and at the place where the wall turns, and they placed weapons in them.
И сазида Озија куле у Јерусалиму на вратима на углу, и на вратима у долу, и на углу, и утврди их.
10 They also built watchtowers in the desert and dug many wells. They did that [to provide water] for a lot of the king’s cattle that were in the foothills and in the plains. Uzziah liked farming, so he also stationed workers [to take care of] his fields and vineyards in the hills and in the fertile areas.
Сазида и у пустињи куле, и ископа много студенаца, јер имаше много стоке у долинама и у равницама, и ратара и виноградара по брдима и на Кармилу, јер му мила беше пољска радња.
11 Uzziah’s army was trained for fighting battles. They were in groups that were always ready to go into battle. Jeiel, the king’s secretary, and Maaseiah, one of the army officers, counted the men and placed them in groups. Hananiah, one of the king’s officials, was their commander.
И имаше Озија убојиту војску, која иђаше у рат у четама бројем, како их изброја Јеило писар и Масија управитељ, под управом Ананије војводе царевог.
12 There were 2,600 leaders of those groups of soldiers.
Свега на број беше главара домова отачких храбрих јунака две хиљаде и шест стотина,
13 In the groups that those leaders commanded there were a total of 307,500 well-trained soldiers. It was a very powerful army which was ready to help the king fight against his enemies.
А под њиховом руком војске три стотине и седам хиљада и пет стотина храбрих војника, да помажу цару против непријатеља.
14 Uzziah gave to each soldier a shield, a spear, a helmet, a vest made of iron plates, a bow [and arrows], and a slingshot.
И начини Озија свој војсци штитове и копља и шлемове и оклопе и лукове и камење за праћке.
15 In Jerusalem his skilled workers made machines to put on the watchtowers and on the corners [of the walls], to shoot arrows and to hurl large stones. He became very famous even in distant places, because God helped him very much and enabled him to become very powerful.
И начини у Јерусалиму бојне справе врло вешто измишљене да стоје на кулама и на угловима да мећу стреле и велико камење; и разнесе се име његово далеко, јер му се дивно помагаше докле осили.
16 But because Uzziah was very powerful, he became very proud, and that led to his being punished. He disobeyed what Yahweh his God had commanded. He went into the temple to burn incense on the altar [where God had said that only the priests should burn] incense.
Али кад осили, понесе се срце његово, те се поквари, и сагреши Господу Богу свом, јер уђе у цркву Господњу да кади на олтару кадионом:
17 Azariah the [Supreme] Priest and 80 other brave priests followed him into the temple.
А за њим уђе Азарија свештеник и с њим осамдесет свештеника Господњих храбрих људи;
18 They rebuked him and said to him, “Uzziah, it is not right for you to burn incense to [honor] Yahweh. That duty is only for the priests, those who are descendants of Aaron [our first Supreme Priest]! You must leave [immediately], because you have disobeyed Yahweh our God, and he will not honor you [for what you have done]!”
И опреше се цару Озији говорећи: Није твоје, Озија, кадити Господу, него свештеника синова Аронових који су посвећени да каде; изиђи из светиње, јер си згрешио, и неће ти бити на част пред Господом Богом.
19 Uzziah had in his hand a pan for burning incense. He became very angry with the priests, but suddenly there was leprosy on his forehead.
Тада се разгневи Озија држећи у руци кадионицу да кади; и кад се гневљаше на свештенике, изиђе му губа на челу пред свим свештеницима у дому Господњем код олтара кадионог.
20 When Azariah the [Supreme] Priest and all the other priests [who were there] looked at him, they saw the leprosy on his forehead, so they quickly took him outside. And truly the king was eager to leave the temple, because he knew that it was Yahweh who had caused him to have that leprosy, [and he did not want it to become worse.]
И погледа га Азарија, поглавар свештенички и сви свештеници, а он губав на челу; и брже га изведоше напоље, а и сам похита да изиђе, јер га Господ удари.
21 King Uzziah had leprosy until he died. And because he had leprosy, he lived in a house that was not near other houses, and he was not allowed to enter [the courtyard of] the temple. His son Jotham supervised the palace and ruled the people of Judah.
И оста цар Озија губав до смрти своје, и сеђаше у одвојеном дому губав, јер би одлучен од дома Господњег; а Јотам син његов управљаше домом царевим и суђаше народу у земљи.
22 A record of all the other things that Uzziah did while he was the king [of Judah] was written by the prophet Isaiah, the son of Amoz.
А остала дела Озијина прва и последња написао је пророк Исаија син Амосов.
23 Because Uzziah was a leper, [when he died, ] they would not bury him in the tombs where the other kings were buried. Instead, he was buried in a nearby cemetery that the kings owned. Then his son Jotham became the king [of Judah].
И почину Озија код отаца својих, и погребоше га код отаца његових у гробном пољу царском, јер рекоше: Губав је. И зацари се на његово место Јотам, син његов.
