1乌西雅作犹大王(王下14:21-22,15:1-7)
1And all the people of Judah take Uzziah (and he [is] a son of sixteen years), and cause him to reign instead of his father Amaziah.
2亚玛谢王和列祖同睡以后,乌西雅重建以禄,并且收归犹大所有。
2He hath built Eloth, and restoreth it to Judah after the king's lying with his fathers.
3乌西雅登基的时候,是十六岁;他在耶路撒冷作王共五十二年。他的母亲名叫耶可利雅,是耶路撒冷人。
3A son of sixteen years [is] Uzziah in his reigning, and fifty and two years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Jecholiah of Jerusalem.
4乌西雅行耶和华看为正的事,像他的父亲亚玛谢一切所行的。
4And he doth that which is right in the eyes of Jehovah, according to all that Amaziah his father did,
5撒迦利亚在世的日子,教导乌西雅敬畏 神,所以乌西雅常常寻求 神;乌西雅寻求 神的时候, 神就使他亨通。
5and he is as one seeking God in the days of Zechariah who hath understanding in visions of God: and in the days of his seeking Jehovah, God hath caused him to prosper.
6国势日强他出去攻打非利士人,拆毁了迦特的城墙、雅比尼的城墙和亚实突的城墙;又在亚实突境内非利士人中,建造了几座城。
6And he goeth forth, and fighteth with the Philistines, and breaketh down the wall of Gath, and the wall of Jabneh, and the wall of Ashdod, and buildeth cities about Ashdod, and among the Philistines.
7 神帮助他攻打非利士人和住在姑珥.巴力的阿拉伯人,以及米乌尼人。
7And God helpeth him against the Philistines, and against the Arabians who are dwelling in Gur-Baal and the Mehunim.
8亚扪人给乌西雅进贡,他的名声传到埃及的边境,因为他极其强盛。
8And the Ammonites give a present to Uzziah, and his name goeth unto the entering in of Egypt, for he strengthened himself greatly.
9乌西雅在耶路撒冷的角门、谷门和城墙转角的地方,建筑了城楼,这些城楼非常坚固。
9And Uzziah buildeth towers in Jerusalem, by the gate of the corner, and by the gate of the valley, and by the angle, and strengtheneth them;
10他又在旷野建造了一些瞭望楼,挖了许多贮水池,因为他在高原和平原上有很多牲畜;又因为他喜爱种植,所以在山地上和果园里,雇有农夫和修剪葡萄树的工人。
10and he buildeth towers in the wilderness, and diggeth many wells, for he had much cattle, both in the low country and in the plain, husbandmen and vine-dressers in the mountains, and in Carmel; for he was a lover of the ground.
11乌西雅又有善于作战的军队,照着书记耶利和官长玛西雅数点的数目,由王的一个将军哈拿尼雅指挥,编队上阵。
11And Uzziah hath a force, making war, going forth to the host, by troops, in the number of their reckoning by the hand of Jeiel the scribe and Masseiah the officer, by the hand of Hananiah [one] of the heads of the king.
12这些英勇战士中的各家族首领,总数共二千六百人。
12The whole number of heads of the fathers of the mighty ones of valour [is] two thousand and six hundred;
13在他们指挥下的军队,共有三十七万七千五百人,都是大有能力,善于作战的,能帮助王攻打仇敌。
13and by their hand [is] the force of the host, three hundred thousand, and seven thousand, and five hundred warriors, with mighty power to give help to the king against the enemy.
14乌西雅给全队军兵配备了盾牌、矛枪、头盔、铠甲、弓箭和甩石的机弦。
14And Uzziah prepareth for them, for all the host, shields, and spears, and helmets, and coats of mail, and bows, even to stones of the slings.
15他又在耶路撒冷制造巧匠发明的器械,安放在城楼和城角上,用来发射利箭和大石。乌西雅的名声传到远方,因为他得了非常的帮助,使他十分强盛。
15And he maketh in Jerusalem inventions -- a device of an inventor -- to be on the towers, and on the corners, to shoot with arrows and with great stones, and his name goeth out unto a distance, for he hath been wonderfully helped till that he hath been strong.
16乌西雅越职受罚乌西雅强盛起来,就心高气傲,以致自寻毁灭,竟冒犯耶和华他的 神;他进了耶和华的殿,要在香坛上烧香。
16And at his being strong his heart hath been high unto destruction, and he trespasseth against Jehovah his God, and goeth in unto the temple of Jehovah to make perfume upon the altar of perfume.
17跟随乌西雅进去的,有亚撒利雅祭司,还有耶和华的祭司八十个,都是英勇的人。
17And Azariah the priest goeth in after him, and with him priests of Jehovah eighty, sons of valour,
18他们阻止乌西雅王,对他说:“乌西雅啊,给耶和华烧香不是你应作的事,而是亚伦的子孙作祭司的事,他们是分别为圣作烧香的事;请离开圣所吧,因为你作了不应该作的事了,你必不能从耶和华 神那里得着尊荣。”
18and they stand up against Uzziah the king, and say to him, `Not for thee, O Uzziah, to make perfume to Jehovah, but for priests, sons of Aaron, who are sanctified to make perfume; go forth from the sanctuary, for thou hast trespassed, and [it is] not to thee for honour from Jehovah God.'
19乌西雅逝世于是乌西雅十分忿怒,手里拿着香炉正要烧香,他向众祭司发怒的时候,就在耶和华的殿里香坛旁边众祭司的面前,他的额上忽然长出了大痲风。
19And Uzziah is wroth, and in his hand [is] a censer to make perfume, and in his being wroth with the priests -- the leprosy hath risen in his forehead, before the priests, in the house of Jehovah, from beside the altar of perfume.
20大祭司亚撒利雅和众祭司看着他,忽然见他的额上长了大痲风,就急忙催他出殿;他自己也急忙出去,因为耶和华击打了他。
20And Azariah the head priest looketh unto him, and all the priests, and lo, he [is] leprous in his forehead, and they hasten him thence, and also he himself hath hastened to go out, for Jehovah hath plagued him.
21乌西雅王长大痲风直到死的时候;他既然长了大痲风,就住在一间隔离的房子里,不能进耶和华的殿。他的儿子约坦执掌朝政,治理国民。
21And Uzziah the king is a leper unto the day of his death, and inhabiteth a separate house -- a leper, for he hath been cut off from the house of Jehovah, and Jotham his son [is] over the house of the king, judging the people of the land.
22乌西雅其余的事迹,一生的始末,亚摩斯的儿子以赛亚先知都记下来了。
22And the rest of the matters of Uzziah, the first and the last, hath Isaiah son of Amoz the prophet written;
23乌西雅和他的列祖同睡;由于有人说:“他是个长大痲风的人”,所以把他埋葬在王陵的田间,和他的列祖一起。他的儿子约坦接续他作王。
23and Uzziah lieth with his fathers, and they bury him with his fathers, in the field of the burying-place that the kings have, for they said, `He [is] a leper;' and reign doth Jotham his son in his stead.
