Hele folket i Juda valgte Ussia, som var seksten år gammel, og gjorde ham til konge etter hans far Amasja.

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

Han bygde Eilot og gjenreiste det til Juda etter at kongen hadde gått bort.

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

Ussia var seksten år gammel da han ble konge, og han regjerte femtito år i Jerusalem. Hans mor het Jekolja og var fra Jerusalem.

Sixteen years old was Uzziah when he began to reign; and he reigned fifty-two years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Jechiliah, of Jerusalem.

Han gjorde det som var rett i Herrens øyne, slik som hans far Amasja hadde gjort.

He did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh, according to all that his father Amaziah had done.

Han søkte Gud i Sakarjas dager, som forstod synene fra Gud, og så lenge han søkte Herren, lot Gud ham ha framgang.

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 Yahweh, God made him to prosper.

Han dro ut og kjempet mot filisterne, brøt ned murene i Gat, Jabne og Asjdod, og bygde byer i Asjdod-området og blant filisterne.

He went forth and warred against the Philistines, and broke down the wall of Gath, and the wall of Jabneh, and the wall of Ashdod; and he built cities in [the country of] Ashdod, and among the Philistines.

Gud hjalp ham mot filisterne, mot araberne som bodde i Gur-Ba'al, og mot meunitterne.

God helped him against the Philistines, and against the Arabians who lived in Gur Baal, and the Meunim.

Ammonittene betalte skatt til Ussia, og hans navn ble kjent helt til Egypt, for han ble meget mektig.

The Ammonites gave tribute to Uzziah: and his name spread abroad even to the entrance of Egypt; for he grew exceeding strong.

Dessuten bygde Ussia tårn i Jerusalem ved hjørneporten, dalporten og der hvor muren dreier, og gjorde dem sterke.

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.

Han bygde tårn i ørkenen og hogde ut mange brønner, for han hadde mye buskap, både i lavlandet og på sletten, og han hadde bønder og vingårdseiere i fjellene og på de fruktbare markene, for han elsket jordbruk.

He built towers in the wilderness, and hewed out many cisterns, for he had much cattle; in the lowland also, and in the plain: [and he had] farmers and vineyard keepers in the mountains and in the fruitful fields; for he loved farming.

Ussia hadde en hær av stridsmenn som dro ut i krig i avdelinger, etter tallet deres som var gjort av skriveren Je'iel og offiseren Ma'aseja, under ledelse av Hananja, en av kongens høvdinger.

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.

Antallet av de sterke menn, overhoder av familiene, var to tusen og seks hundre.

The whole number of the heads of fathers' [houses], even the mighty men of valor, was two thousand and six hundred.

Under deres ledelse var en hær på tre hundre tusen syv tusen fem hundre, som kjempet med stor kraft for å støtte kongen mot fienden.

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

Ussia forberedte for dem, for hele hæren, skjold, spyd, hjelmer, brynjer, buer og slyngesteiner.

Uzziah prepared for them, even for all the host, shields, and spears, and helmets, and coats of mail, and bows, and stones for slinging.

I Jerusalem laget han maskiner, oppfunnet av kyndige menn, for å stå på tårnene og brystvernene for å skyte piler og store steiner. Hans navn spredte seg vidt, for han fikk underfull hjelp inntil han ble mektig.

He made in Jerusalem engines, 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; for he was marvelously helped, until he was strong.

Men da han ble sterk, ble hans hjerte hovmodig så han handlet urett, og han syndet mot Herren sin Gud ved å gå inn i Herrens tempel for å brenne røkelse på røkelsesalteret.

But when he was strong, his heart was lifted up, so that he did corruptly, and he trespassed against Yahweh his God; for he went into the temple of Yahweh to burn incense on the altar of incense.

Presten Asarja og åtti modige prester av Herren gikk inn etter ham.

Azariah the priest went in after him, and with him eighty priests of Yahweh, who were valiant men:

De sto imot kong Ussia og sa til ham: 'Det tilkommer ikke deg, Ussia, å brenne røkelse for Herren, men prestene, Arons sønner, som er innviet for å brenne røkelse. Gå ut av helligdommen, for du har syndet, og det vil ikke bringe deg ære fra Herren Gud.'

and they withstood Uzziah the king, and said to him, It pertains not to you, Uzziah, to burn incense to Yahweh, but to the priests the sons of Aaron, who are consecrated to burn incense: go out of the sanctuary; for you have trespassed; neither shall it be for your honor from Yahweh God.

Da ble Ussia sint, og han holdt et røkelseskar i hånden for å brenne røkelse. Mens han var sint på prestene, brøt spedalskheten frem i pannen hans, foran prestene i Herrens hus, ved siden av røkelsesalteret.

Then Uzziah was angry; and he had a censer in his hand to burn incense; and while he was angry with the priests, the leprosy broke forth in his forehead before the priests in the house of Yahweh, beside the altar of incense.

Den øverste presten Asarja og alle prestene så på ham, og se, han var spedalsk i pannen! De drev ham raskt ut derfra; selv skyndte han seg også å gå ut, for Herren hadde slått ham.

Azariah the chief priest, and all the priests, looked on him, and, behold, he was leprous in his forehead, and they thrust him out quickly from there; yes, himself hurried also to go out, because Yahweh had struck him.

Kong Ussia var spedalsk til dagen han døde og bodde i et eget hus, spedalsk, for han var utelukket fra Herrens hus. Hans sønn Jotam var satt over kongens hus og dømte folkene i landet.

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 house of Yahweh: and Jotham his son was over the king's house, judging the people of the land.

Resten av Ussias gjerninger, de første og de siste, skrev profeten Jesaja, sønn av Amos.

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

Så sovnet Ussia inn med sine fedre, og de begravde ham med hans fedre på kongegravplassen, for de sa: 'Han er spedalsk.' Og hans sønn Jotam ble konge etter ham.

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: and Jotham his son reigned in his place.
