2 Chronicles 26

1 All the people of Judah took Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in place of his father Amaziah.

1 全体犹大人立十六岁的乌西雅为王，继承他父亲亚玛谢的王位。

2 Uzziah was the one who rebuilt Eloth and restored it to Judah after King Amaziah rested with his fathers.

2 亚玛谢王与祖先同眠后，乌西雅为犹大收复了以禄城，并重新修建。

3 Uzziah was sixteen years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem fifty-two years. His mother’s name was Jecoliah; she was from Jerusalem.

3 乌西雅十六岁登基，在耶路撒冷执政五十二年。他母亲叫耶可利雅，是耶路撒冷人。

4 And he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, just as his father Amaziah had done.

4 他事事效法他父亲亚玛谢，做耶和华视为正的事。

5 He sought God throughout the days of Zechariah, who instructed him in the fear of God. And as long as he sought the LORD, God gave him success.

5 撒迦利亚在世之日，乌西雅寻求上帝，撒迦利亚教导他敬畏上帝。当他寻求耶和华时，上帝就使他亨通。

6 Uzziah went out to wage war against the Philistines, and he tore down the walls of Gath, Jabneh, and Ashdod. Then he built cities near Ashdod and among the Philistines.

6 他出兵攻打非利士人，把迦特、雅比尼和亚实突的城墙夷平后，在亚实突境内及非利士人的其他地区兴建城邑。

7 God helped him against the Philistines, against the Arabs living in Gur-baal, and against the Meunites.

7 上帝帮助他攻打非利士人和住在姑珥·巴力的阿拉伯人及米乌尼人。

8 The Ammonites brought tribute to Uzziah, and his fame spread as far as the border of Egypt, for he had become exceedingly powerful.

8 亚扪人向他进贡，乌西雅的名声传到埃及，因他非常强大。

9 Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem at the Corner Gate, the Valley Gate, and the angle in the wall, and he fortified them.

9 乌西雅在耶路撒冷的角门、谷门和城墙拐角的地方建造城楼，并加固城楼，

10 Since he had much livestock in the foothills and in the plain, he built towers in the desert and dug many cisterns. And since he was a lover of the soil, he had farmers and vinedressers in the hill country and in the fertile fields.

10 又在旷野建造瞭望塔，挖了许多水井，因为他在高原和平原有很多牲畜。他雇人在山区和沃野为他耕种田地和照料葡萄园，因为他喜爱农耕。

11 Uzziah had an army ready for battle that went out to war by assigned divisions, as recorded by Jeiel the scribe and Maaseiah the officer under the direction of Hananiah, one of the royal officers.

11 乌西雅有支可以随时列队出战的军兵，由书记耶利和官长玛西雅召集，归王的将军哈拿尼雅统领。

12 The total number of family leaders of the mighty men of valor was 2,600.

12 率领战士的族长有两千六百名，

13 Under their authority was an army of 307,500 trained for war, a powerful force to support the king against his enemies.

13 他们手下有三十万七千五百精兵，帮助王攻打敌人。

14 Uzziah supplied the entire army with shields, spears, helmets, armor, bows, and slingstones.

14 乌西雅为全军备有盾牌、矛枪、头盔、铠甲、弓箭和投石器用的石头，

15 And in Jerusalem he made skillfully designed devices to shoot arrows and catapult large stones from the towers and corners. So his fame spread far and wide, for he was helped tremendously until he became powerful.

15 又让巧匠在耶路撒冷设计和制造兵器，安放在城楼和角楼上，用来发射弓箭和大石头。乌西雅威名远扬，因为他得到非常的帮助，极其强盛。

16 But when Uzziah became powerful, his arrogance led to his own destruction. He was unfaithful to the LORD his God, for he entered the temple of the LORD to burn incense on the altar of incense.

16 乌西雅强盛后，便心高气傲，以致走向灭亡。他干犯他的上帝耶和华，擅自进入耶和华的殿在香坛上烧香。

17 Then Azariah the priest, along with eighty brave priests of the LORD, went in after him.

17 祭司亚撒利雅率领八十位耶和华勇敢的祭司跟着进殿，

18 They took their stand against King Uzziah and said, “Uzziah, you have no right to offer incense to the LORD. Only the priests, the descendants of Aaron, are consecrated to burn incense. Leave the sanctuary, for you have acted unfaithfully; you will not receive honor from the LORD God.”

18 阻止乌西雅王，说：“乌西雅啊，给耶和华烧香不是你可以做的事，而是承受圣职做祭司的亚伦子孙的事。离开圣所吧！你已干犯耶和华上帝，必不能从祂那里得荣耀。”

19 Uzziah, with a censer in his hand to offer incense, was enraged. But while he raged against the priests in their presence in the house of the LORD before the altar of incense, leprosy broke out on his forehead.

19 手拿香炉要烧香的乌西雅大怒，正当他在耶和华殿里的香坛旁向众祭司发怒的时候，他额头上突然患了麻风病。

20 When Azariah the chief priest and all the priests turned to him and saw his leprous forehead, they rushed him out. Indeed, he himself hurried to get out, because the LORD had afflicted him.

20 亚撒利雅大祭司和众祭司见状就催促他出殿，他急忙出去了，因为耶和华降灾给他。

21 So King Uzziah was a leper until the day of his death. He lived in isolation, leprous and cut off from the house of the LORD, while his son Jotham had charge of the royal palace and governed the people of the land.

21 乌西雅王到死一直有麻风病。他被隔离在别的宫中，不得进耶和华的殿。他儿子约坦管理王室，治理国家。

22 As for the rest of the acts of Uzziah, from beginning to end, they are recorded by the prophet Isaiah son of Amoz.

22 乌西雅其他的事自始至终都是亚摩斯的儿子以赛亚先知记载的。

23 And Uzziah rested with his fathers and was buried near them in a field of burial that belonged to the kings, for the people said, “He was a leper.” And his son Jotham reigned in his place.

23 乌西雅与祖先同眠后，葬在他祖坟附近一个王室的坟场，因为他有麻风病。他儿子约坦继位。
