Si Haring Uzias ng Juda(A)
26 Ginawang hari ng buong Juda si Uzias sa gulang na labing-anim bilang kahalili ng namatay niyang amang si Amazias. 2 Sa panahon ng kanyang paghahari, nabawi niya ang lunsod ng Elat at muli itong itinatag para sa Juda.
3 Labing-anim na taóng gulang si Uzias nang maging hari at limampu't dalawang taon siyang naghari sa Jerusalem. Ang ina niya'y si Jecolias na taga-Jerusalem. 4 Si Uzias ay naging kalugud-lugod kay Yahweh tulad ni Amazias. 5 Habang nabubuhay si Zacarias, na nagturo sa kanya na matakot sa Diyos, naglingkod siya nang tapat kay Yahweh, at pinagpapala siya ng Diyos.
6 Sinalakay ni Uzias ang mga Filisteo at winasak ang mga kuta sa Gat, Jabne at Asdod. Nagtayo siya ng mga lunsod sa nasasakupan ng Asdod at ng mga Filisteo. 7 Tinulungan siya ng Diyos laban sa mga Filisteo at mga Arabo na naninirahan sa Gurbaal at laban sa mga Meunita. 8 Nagbabayad sa kanya ng buwis ang mga Ammonita at nakilala siya hanggang sa Egipto dahil sa kanyang kapangyarihan. 9 Nagtayo rin siya ng mga kuta sa Jerusalem: isa sa may Pintuan sa Sulok, isa sa Pintuan sa Libis at isa sa Panulukan ng Zion at ng Ofel. 10 Nagpagawa rin siya ng mga toreng bantayan sa ilang at nagpahukay ng maraming mga balon para sa kanyang mga kawan sa mga paanan ng burol at sa kapatagan. Palibhasa'y mahilig siya sa pagbubukid, kumuha siya ng mga magsasaka sa kanyang bukirin at mga tagapag-alaga ng ubasan sa kapatagan at kaburulan.
11 Si Uzias ay mayroon ding hukbo ng mga kawal na handa sa labanan. Nasa ilalim ito ng pamamahala ni Hananias. Nahahati ito sa maraming pangkat ayon sa listahang ginawa ni Jeiel na kalihim at ng tagapagtalang si Maasias. 12 May 2,600 pinuno ng sambahayan ang namamahala sa kanyang hukbo. 13 Binubuo ito ng may 300,750, magigiting na mandirigma na laging handang lumaban at magtanggol sa hari. 14 Silang lahat ay binigyan ni Uzias ng iba't ibang sandata tulad ng panangga, sibat, helmet, pana at tirador. 15 Sa mga tore at mga panulukan ng Jerusalem, naglagay siya ng mga kasangkapang ginawa ng mahuhusay na panday upang ipanghagis ng sibat at ng malalaking bato. Naging tanyag si Uzias at naging makapangyarihan dahil sa tulong na nagmumula sa Diyos.
Pinarusahan si Uzias Dahil sa Kapalaluan
16 Subalit nang maging makapangyarihan si Uzias, naging palalo siya na siyang dahilan ng kanyang pagbagsak. Nilapastangan niya ang Diyos niyang si Yahweh nang pumasok siya sa Templo upang maghandog sa altar na sunugan ng insenso. 17 Sinundan siya ng paring si Azarias, kasama ang walumpung matatapang na pari ni Yahweh. 18 Nang(B) makita siya ay sinabi nila, “Haring Uzias, wala po kayong karapatang magsunog ng insenso para kay Yahweh. Tanging ang mga paring mula sa angkan ni Aaron lamang ang inatasan ng Diyos sa katungkulang ito. Lumabas na kayo rito sa banal na dako. Nagkakasala kayo sa ginagawa ninyong iyan. Hindi sinasang-ayunan ng Panginoong Yahweh ang ginagawa ninyo.”
19 Nagalit si Haring Uzias sa mga pari. Siya ay nakatayo noon sa tabi ng altar na sunugan ng insenso. Ngunit nang sandaling iyon ay nagkaroon siya ng sakit sa balat na parang ketong sa noo. 20 Nang makita ni Azarias at ng mga pari ang nangyari kay Uzias, pinalabas nila ito agad. Hindi naman ito tumutol sapagkat naramdaman niyang siya'y pinarusahan na ni Yahweh.
21 Hindi na gumaling ang sakit sa balat ni Haring Uzias hanggang sa siya'y mamatay. Ibinukod siya ng tahanan, inalisan ng lahat ng katungkulan at pinagbawalang pumasok sa Templo ni Yahweh. Ang anak niyang si Jotam ang namahala sa palasyo at sa buong lupain.
22 Ang iba pang mga ginawa ni Uzias mula sa simula hanggang katapusan ay itinala ni Isaias na anak ni Amoz. 23 Nang(C) ito'y mamatay, inilibing lamang siya sa puntod na malapit sa libingan ng mga hari, sapagkat siya'y nagkaroon ng sakit sa balat na parang ketong. Ang anak niyang si Jotam ang humalili sa kanya bilang hari.
2 Chronicles 26
King James Version
26 Then all the people of Judah took Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in the room of his father Amaziah.
2 He built Eloth, and restored it to Judah, after that the king slept with his fathers.
3 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.
4 And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his father Amaziah did.
5 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.
6 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.
7 And God helped him against the Philistines, and against the Arabians that dwelt in Gurbaal, and the Mehunims.
8 And the Ammonites gave gifts to Uzziah: and his name spread abroad even to the entering in of Egypt; for he strengthened himself exceedingly.
9 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.
10 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.
11 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.
12 The whole number of the chief of the fathers of the mighty men of valour were two thousand and six hundred.
13 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.
14 And Uzziah prepared for them throughout all the host shields, and spears, and helmets, and habergeons, and bows, and slings to cast stones.
15 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.
16 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.
17 And Azariah the priest went in after him, and with him fourscore priests of the Lord, that were valiant men:
18 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.
19 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.
20 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.
21 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.
22 Now the rest of the acts of Uzziah, first and last, did Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, write.
23 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.
