Verse 1

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

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

Verse 2

Han bygde Elot og tilbakeførte det til Juda etter at kongen hadde sovnet inn hos sine fedre.

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

Verse 3

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

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

Verse 4

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

And he did that which was right in the eyes of Jehovah, according to all that his father Amaziah had done.

Verse 5

Han søkte Gud i de dager da Sakarja levde, han som hadde forstand på syn fra Gud, og så lenge han søkte Herren, lot Gud ham ha fremgang.

And 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 Jehovah, God made him to prosper.

Verse 6

Han dro ut og kriget mot filisterne, og han rev ned murene i Gat, Jabne og Asdod; og han bygde byer i Ashdod-området og blant filisterne.

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 he built cities in `the country of' Ashdod, and among the Philistines.

Verse 7

Gud hjalp ham mot filisterne og mot araberne som bodde i Gur-Baal, og mot meunittene.

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

Verse 8

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

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

Verse 9

Videre bygde Ussia tårn i Jerusalem ved hjørneporten, dalporten og ved vinklingen av muren, og forsterket dem.

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.

Verse 10

Han bygde også tårn i ørkenen og hogde ut mange sisterner, for han hadde mye buskap; i lavlandet og slettene hadde han jordbrukere og vinbønder i fjellene og de fruktbare markene, for han elsket jordbruk.

And 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' husbandmen and vinedressers in the mountains and in the fruitful fields; for he loved husbandry.

Verse 11

Ussia hadde også en hær av stridende menn som dro ut til krig i avdelinger, i henhold til tallet på deres telling, gjort av Jijiel skriveren og Maaseja offiseren, under ledelse av Hananja, en av kongens fyrster.

Moreover Uzziah had an army of fighting men, that 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.

Verse 12

Det totale antallet av fedrehusenes ledere, de modige mennene, var to tusen seks hundre.

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

Verse 13

Under deres ledelse var en hær på tre hundre tusen sju tusen fem hundre, som førte krig med stor styrke for å hjelpe kongen mot fienden.

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.

Verse 14

Ussia sørget for dem, hele hæren, med skjold og spyd, hjelmer og pansere, buer og slyngestener.

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

Verse 15

Han lagde i Jerusalem maskiner, oppfunnet av dyktige menn, til å være på tårnene og på festningsverkene, til å skyte piler og store steiner. Hans navn spredte seg langt ut, for han fikk underfull hjelp, inntil han ble sterk.

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

Verse 16

Men da han ble sterk, ble hans hjerte hovmodig, så han handlet troløst mot Herren sin Gud; han gikk inn i Herrens tempel for å brenne røkelse på røkelsalteret.

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

Verse 17

Prest Azarja gikk inn etter ham, og med ham åtti prester av Herren, modige menn.

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

Verse 18

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 til å brenne røkelse. Gå ut av helligdommen, for du har syndet, og dette vil ikke bringe deg ære fra Herren Gud."

and they withstood Uzziah the king, and said unto him, It pertaineth not unto thee, Uzziah, to burn incense unto Jehovah, 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 honor from Jehovah God.

Verse 19

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

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

Verse 20

Azarja, ypperstepresten, og alle prestene så på ham, og se, han var spedalsk i pannen, og de kastet ham ut raskt derfra; ja, også han skyndte seg å gå ut, fordi Herren hadde rammet ham.

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 quickly from thence; yea, himself hasted also to go out, because Jehovah had smitten him.

Verse 21

Kong Ussia var spedalsk til dagen for sin død, og han bodde i et eget hus, som en spedalsk, for han var utelukket fra Herrens hus. Jotam, hans sønn, var over kongens hus og dømte folket i landet.

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

Verse 22

De øvrige handlingene til Ussia, de første og de siste, ble skrevet av 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.

Verse 23

Så sov Ussia inn hos sine fedre, og de begravde ham med hans fedre på kongenes gravfelt, for de sa: "Han er spedalsk." Og Jotam, hans sønn, ble konge i hans sted.

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 stead.
