Второ Летописи 26
1940 Bulgarian Bible
26 А всичките Юдови люде взеха Озия {Или, Азария.}, който бе на шестнадесет години, та го направиха цар вместо баща му Амасия.
2 Той съгради Елот и го възвърна на Юда след като <баща му> царят заспа с бащите си.
3 Озия беше шестнадесет години на възраст, когато се възцари, и царува петдесет и две години в Ерусалим; и името на майка му бе Ехолия, от Ерусалим.
4 Той върши това, което бе право пред Господа, напълно според както беше сторил баща му Амасия.
5 И търсеше Бога в дните на Захария, който разбираше Божиите видения; и до когато търсеше Господа, Бог му даваше успех.
6 Той излезе та воюва против филистимците, и събори стената на Гет, стената на Явни, и стената на Азот, и съгради градове в азотската <околност> и между филистимците.
7 И Бог му помогна против филистимците, и против арабите, които живееха в Гур-ваал, и против маонците.
8 И амонците даваха подаръци на Озия; и името му се прочу дори до входа на Египет, защото стана премного силен.
9 Озия съгради и кули в Ерусалим, върху портата на ъгъла, върху портата на долината и върху ъгъла <на стената>, и ги укрепи.
10 Съгради още кули в пустинята, и изкопа много кладенци, защото имаше много добитък и по ниските места и по поляната, <имаше и> орачи и лозари в планините и на Кармил; защото обичаше земеделието.
11 При това, Озия имаше войска от военни мъже, които излизаха на война по полкове, според числото им, което се преброи от секретаря Еиил и настоятеля Маасия, под ръководството на Анания, един от царските военачалници.
12 Цялото число на началниците на бащините <домове>, на силните и храбри мъже, беше две хиляди и шестстотин.
13 Под тяхна ръка имаше военна сила от триста и седем хиляди и петстотин души, които се биеха с голямо юначество, за да помагат на царя против неприятелите.
14 Озия приготви за тях, за цялата войска, щитове и копия, шлемове и брони, лъкове и камъни за прашки.
15 И в Ерусалим направи машини, изобретени от изкусни мъже, да бъдат <поставени> на кулите и на крепостите при ъглите, за хвърляне на стрели и на големи камъни. И името му се прочу на далеч; защото му се помагаше чудно, догдето стана силен.
16 Но, когато стана силен, сърцето му се надигна та се отдаде на поквара; и извърши престъпление против Господа своя Бог, като влезе в Господния храм за да покади върху кадилния олтар.
17 А свещеник Азария влезе подире му, и с него осемдесет Господни свещеници, храбри мъже;
18 и възпротивиха се на цар Озия, и му рекоха: Не принадлежи на тебе, Озие, да кадиш Господу, но на свещениците, Аароновите потомци, които са посветени, за да кадят; излез из светилището, защото си извършил престъпление, което не ще ти бъде за почит от Господа Бога.
19 А Озия, който държеше в ръката си кадилница, за да кади, разяри се; и като се разяри на свещениците, проказата му избухна на челото му пред свещениците в Господния дом, близо при кадилния олтар.
20 И първосвещеник Азария и всичките свещеници погледнаха на него, и, ето, бе прокажен на челото си; и побързаха да го извадят от там; и даже сам той побърза да излезе, защото Господ го беше поразил.
21 И цар Озия остана прокажен до деня на смъртта си; и живееше в отделна къща като прокажен, понеже беше отлъчен от Господния дом; а син му Иотам бе над царския дом и съдеше людете на земята.
22 А останалите дела на Озия, първите и последните, написа пророк Исаия, Амосовият син.
23 И Озия заспа с бащите си, и погребаха го с бащите му в оградата на царските гробища, защото рекоха: Прокажен е. И вместо него се възцари син му Иотам.
2 Chronicles 26
EasyEnglish Bible
Uzziah rules Judah as king
26 All the people of Judah chose Uzziah to be their king instead of his father, King Amaziah. Uzziah was 16 years old.[a] 2 He built Elath again after King Amaziah had died. He made it a part of Judah again.
3 Uzziah was 16 years old when he became king. And he ruled in Jerusalem for 52 years. His mother's name was Jecoliah. She came from Jerusalem. 4 Uzziah did things that the Lord said were good, as his father Amaziah had done. 5 He served God faithfully all the time that Zechariah was alive. Zechariah taught him to respect and obey God. As long as Uzziah served the Lord faithfully, God gave him success.
God helps Uzziah
6 Uzziah took his army to attack the Philistines. He destroyed the walls of their cities, Gath, Jabneh and Ashdod. Then he made the towns near Ashdod strong, as well as other towns where the Philistines lived. 7 God helped him to win battles against the Philistines, against the Arabs who lived in Gur-Baal, and against the Meunites. 8 The people from Ammon paid taxes to Uzziah. He became very powerful. So everyone as far as the border of Egypt knew that he was a great king.
9 Uzziah built strong towers on Jerusalem's walls to make the city safe. He built them at the Corner Gate, at the Valley Gate and at the place where the wall turned. 10 He also built towers in the desert. He dug holes in the ground to contain water. He needed water for his animals on the low hills and in the valleys, because he had many of them. He also enjoyed growing crops. He had men who worked in the fields and in the vineyards. These were on the hills and in places where crops would grow well.
Uzziah's army
11 Uzziah had an army of soldiers who were ready to fight battles. The king's secretary, Jeiel, and his officer, Maaseiah, put the soldiers into groups. They counted the soldiers in each group. Hananiah was the army captain who had authority over them. 12 There were 2,600 family leaders who led the groups of soldiers. 13 Together they led 307,500 soldiers who knew how to fight well. They were a powerful army that could keep the king safe against his enemies. 14 Uzziah gave shields, spears, helmets and armour to the whole army. He also gave them bows and arrows, and stones to put in their slings.
15 Men in Jerusalem who had special skills built machines that could shoot arrows and big stones. Uzziah put them on the towers and at the corners of the walls around Jerusalem. God helped him in many ways, so that he became very famous and powerful.
Uzziah becomes proud and God punishes him
16 Uzziah was so powerful that he became proud. That caused him to lose his power. He began to turn away from the Lord his God. He went into the Lord's temple to burn incense on the special altar there. 17 Azariah and 80 other brave priests of the Lord went into the temple after him. 18 They warned King Uzziah. They said to him, ‘It is not right for you, Uzziah, to offer incense to the Lord. Only the priests, Aaron's descendants, may do that. They are the people that God has chosen to offer incense to him. So you must leave this Holy Place because you have done something that is wrong. As a result, the Lord God will not give you any honour.’
19 Then Uzziah became angry. In his hand, he was holding a pot with hot coals and incense in it. He was standing in the Lord's temple, near the special altar for incense. The priests were there with him. When he started to shout at the priests, a bad disease suddenly appeared on the skin of his face. 20 Azariah, the leader of the priests, and all the other priests turned towards Uzziah. They saw the terrible disease on the skin at the front of his head. So they quickly took him out of the temple. Uzziah himself was also in a hurry to leave, because the Lord had punished him with this disease.[b]
King Uzziah dies
21 King Uzziah had the terrible disease on his skin until the day that he died. He lived in his own house, away from other people. He could not go into the Lord's temple because of his disease. His son Jotham had authority in the palace and he ruled the people of Judah.
22 All the other things that happened while Uzziah was king are written in a book. The prophet Isaiah, Amoz's son, wrote down those things. 23 Uzziah died and they buried him near his ancestors. Because he had the terrible disease on his skin, they did not bury him beside the other kings that had died. Instead they buried him in a field for graves that belonged to the kings of Judah.
His son Jotham became king after him.
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.
