II Chronicles 26

وَأَخَذَ كُلُّ شَعْبِ يَهُوذَا عُزِّيَّا وَهُوَ ابْنُ سِتَّ عَشَرَةَ سَنَةً وَمَلَّكُوهُ عِوَضًا عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَمَصْيَا.

Then all the people of Judah took Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in the room of his father Amaziah.

هُوَ بَنَى أَيْلَةَ وَرَدَّهَا لِيَهُوذَا بَعْدَ اضْطِجَاعِ الْمَلِكِ مَعَ آبَائِهِ.

He built Eloth, and restored it to Judah, after that the king slept with his fathers.

كَانَ عُزِّيَّا ابْنَ سِتَّ عَشَرَةَ سَنَةً حِينَ مَلَكَ، وَمَلَكَ اثْنَتَيْنِ وَخَمْسِينَ سَنَةً فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَاسْمُ أُمِّهِ يَكُلْيَا مِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ.

Sixteen years old was Uzziah when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty and two years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Jecoliah of Jerusalem.

وَعَمِلَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا عَمِلَ أَمَصْيَا أَبُوهُ.

And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father Amaziah did.

وَكَانَ يَطْلُبُ اللهَ فِي أَيَّامِ زكَرِيَّا الْفَاهِمِ بِمَنَاظِرِ اللهِ. وَفِي أَيَّامِ طَلَبِهِ الرَّبَّ أَنْجَحَهُ اللهُ.

And he sought God in the days of Zechariah, who had understanding in the visions of God: and as long as he sought the LORD, God made him to prosper.

وَخَرَجَ وَحَارَبَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ وَهَدَمَ سُورَ جَتَّ وَسُورَ يَبْنَةَ وَسُورَ أَشْدُودَ، وَبَنَى مُدُنًا فِي أَرْضِ أَشْدُودَ وَالْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ.

And he went forth and warred against the Philistines, and brake down the wall of Gath, and the wall of Jabneh, and the wall of Ashdod, and built cities about Ashdod, and among the Philistines.

وَسَاعَدَهُ اللهُ عَلَى الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ وَعَلَى الْعَرَبِ السَّاكِنِينَ فِي جُورِ بَعْلَ وَالْمَعُونِيِّينَ.

And God helped him against the Philistines, and against the Arabians that dwelt in Gur–baal, and the Mehunims.

وَأَعْطَى الْعَمُّونِيُّونَ عُزِّيَّا هَدَايَا، وَامْتَدَّ اسْمُهُ إِلَى مَدْخَلِ مِصْرَ لأَنَّهُ تَشَدَّدَ جِدًّا.

And the Ammonites gave gifts to Uzziah: and his name spread abroad even to the entering in of Egypt; for he strengthened himself exceedingly.

وَبَنَى عُزِّيَّا أَبْرَاجًا فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ عِنْدَ بَابِ الزَّاوِيَةِ وَعِنْدَ بَابِ الْوَادِي وَعِنْدَ الزَّاوِيَةِ وَحَصَّنَهَا.

Moreover Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem at the corner gate, and at the valley gate, and at the turning of the wall, and fortified them.

وَبَنَى أَبْرَاجًا فِي الْبَرِّيَّةِ، وَحَفَرَ آبَارًا كَثِيرَةً لأَنَّهُ كَانَ لَهُ مَاشِيَةٌ كَثِيرَةٌ فِي السَّاحِلِ وَالسَّهْلِ، وَفَلاَّحُونَ وَكَرَّامُونَ فِي الْجِبَالِ وَفِي الْكَرْمَلِ، لأَنَّهُ كَانَ يُحِبُّ الْفِلاَحَةَ.

Also he built towers in the desert, and digged many wells: for he had much cattle, both in the low country, and in the plains: husbandmen also, and vine dressers in the mountains, and in Carmel: for he loved husbandry.

وَكَانَ لِعُزِّيَّا جَيْشٌ مِنَ الْمُقَاتِلِينَ يَخْرُجُونَ لِلْحَرْبِ أَحْزَابًا حَسَبَ عَدَدِ إِحْصَائِهِمْ عَنْ يَدِ يَعِيئِيلَ الْكَاتِبِ وَمَعَسِيَا الْعَرِيفِ تَحْتَ يَدِ حَنَنْيَّا وَاحِدٍ مِنْ رُؤَسَاءِ الْمَلِكِ.

Moreover Uzziah had an host of fighting men, that went out to war by bands, according to the number of their account by the hand of Jeiel the scribe and Maaseiah the ruler, under the hand of Hananiah, one of the king's captains.

كُلُّ عَدَدِ رُؤُوسِ الآبَاءِ مِنْ جَبَابِرَةِ الْبَأْسِ أَلْفَانِ وَسِتُّ مِئَةٍ.

The whole number of the chief of the fathers of the mighty men of valour were two thousand and six hundred.

وَتَحْتَ يَدِهِمْ جَيْشُ جُنُودٍ ثَلاَثُ مِئَةِ أَلْفٍ وَسَبْعَةُ آلاَفٍ وَخَمْسُ مِئَةٍ مِنَ الْمُقَاتِلِينَ بِقُوَّةٍ شَدِيدَةٍ لِمُسَاعَدَةِ الْمَلِكِ عَلَى الْعَدُوِّ.

And under their hand was an army, three hundred thousand and seven thousand and five hundred, that made war with mighty power, to help the king against the enemy.

وَهَيَّأَ لَهُمْ عُزِّيَّا، لِكُلِّ الْجَيْشِ، أَتْرَاسًا وَرِمَاحًا وَخُوَذًا وَدُرُوعًا وَقِسِيًّا وَحِجَارَةَ مَقَالِيعَ.

And Uzziah prepared for them throughout all the host shields, and spears, and helmets, and habergeons, and bows, and slings to cast stones.

وَعَمِلَ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ مَنْجَنِيقَاتٍ اخْتِرَاعَ مُخْتَرِعِينَ لِتَكُونَ عَلَى الأَبْرَاجِ وَعَلَى الزَّوَايَا، لِتُرْمَى بِهَا السِّهَامُ وَالْحِجَارَةُ الْعَظِيمَةُ. وَامْتَدَّ اسْمُهُ إِلَى بَعِيدٍ إِذْ عَجِبَتْ مُسَاعَدَتُهُ حَتَّى تَشَدَّدَ.

And he made in Jerusalem engines, invented by cunning men, to be on the towers and upon the bulwarks, to shoot arrows and great stones withal. And his name spread far abroad; for he was marvellously helped, till he was strong.

وَلَمَّا تَشَدَّدَ ارْتَفَعَ قَلْبُهُ إِلَى الْهَلاَكِ وَخَانَ الرَّبَّ إِلهَهُ، وَدَخَلَ هَيْكَلَ الرَّبِّ لِيُوقِدَ عَلَى مَذْبَحِ الْبَخُورِ.

But when he was strong, his heart was lifted up to his destruction: for he transgressed against the LORD his God, and went into the temple of the LORD to burn incense upon the altar of incense.

وَدَخَلَ وَرَاءَهُ عَزَرْيَا الْكَاهِنُ وَمَعَهُ ثَمَانُونَ مِنْ كَهَنَةِ الرَّبِّ بَنِي الْبَأْسِ.

And Azariah the priest went in after him, and with him fourscore priests of the LORD, that were valiant men:

وَقَاوَمُوا عُزِّيَّا الْمَلِكَ وَقَالُوا لَهُ: «لَيْسَ لَكَ يَا عُزِّيَّا أَنْ تُوقِدَ لِلرَّبِّ، بَلْ لِلْكَهَنَةِ بَنِي هَارُونَ الْمُقَدَّسِينَ لِلإِيقَادِ. اُخْرُجْ مِنَ الْمَقْدِسِ لأَنَّكَ خُنْتَ وَلَيْسَ لَكَ مِنْ كَرَامَةٍ مِنْ عِنْدِ الرَّبِّ الإِلهِ».

And they withstood Uzziah the king, and said unto him, It appertaineth not unto thee, Uzziah, to burn incense unto the LORD, but to the priests the sons of Aaron, that are consecrated to burn incense: go out of the sanctuary; for thou hast trespassed; neither shall it be for thine honour from the LORD God.

فَحَنِقَ عُزِّيَّا. وَكَانَ فِي يَدِهِ مِجْمَرَةٌ لِلإِيقَادِ. وَعِنْدَ حَنَقِهِ عَلَى الْكَهَنَةِ خَرَجَ بَرَصٌ فِي جَبْهَتِهِ أَمَامَ الْكَهَنَةِ فِي بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ بِجَانِبِ مَذْبَحِ الْبَخُورِ.

Then Uzziah was wroth, and had a censer in his hand to burn incense: and while he was wroth with the priests, the leprosy even rose up in his forehead before the priests in the house of the LORD, from beside the incense altar.

فَالْتَفَتَ نَحْوَهُ عَزَرْيَاهُو الْكَاهِنُ الرَّأْسُ وَكُلُّ الْكَهَنَةِ وَإِذَا هُوَ أَبْرَصُ فِي جَبْهَتِهِ، فَطَرَدُوهُ مِنْ هُنَاكَ حَتَّى إِنَّهُ هُوَ نَفْسُهُ بَادَرَ إِلَى الْخُرُوجِ لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ ضَرَبَهُ.

And Azariah the chief priest, and all the priests, looked upon him, and, behold, he was leprous in his forehead, and they thrust him out from thence; yea, himself hasted also to go out, because the LORD had smitten him.

وَكَانَ عُزِّيَّا الْمَلِكُ أَبْرَصَ إِلَى يَوْمِ وَفَاتِهِ، وَأَقَامَ فِي بَيْتِ الْمَرَضِ أَبْرَصَ لأَنَّهُ قُطِعَ مِنْ بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ، وَكَانَ يُوثَامُ ابْنُهُ عَلَى بَيْتِ الْمَلِكِ يَحْكُمُ عَلَى شَعْبِ الأَرْضِ.

And Uzziah the king was a leper unto the day of his death, and dwelt in a several house, being a leper; for he was cut off from the house of the LORD: and Jotham his son was over the king's house, judging the people of the land.

وَبَقِيَّةُ أُمُورِ عُزِّيَّا الأُولَى وَالأَخِيرَةُ كَتَبَهَا إِشَعْيَاءُ بْنُ آمُوصَ النَّبِيُّ.

Now the rest of the acts of Uzziah, first and last, did Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, write.

ثُمَّ اضْطَجَعَ عُزِّيَّا مَعَ آبَائِهِ وَدَفَنُوهُ مَعَ آبَائِهِ فِي حَقْلِ الْمَِقْبَرَةِ الَّتِي لِلْمُلُوكِ، لأَنَّهُمْ قَالُوا إِنَّهُ أَبْرَصُ. وَمَلَكَ يُوثَامُ ابْنُهُ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ.

So Uzziah slept with his fathers, and they buried him with his fathers in the field of the burial which belonged to the kings; for they said, He is a leper: and Jotham his son reigned in his stead.
