¹Tada sav judejski narod uze Uziju, komu bijaše šesnaest godina, i zakraljiše ga namjesto njegova oca Amasje.

¹And all the people of Judah took Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king instead of his father Amaziah.

²On je opet sagradio Elat vrativši ga Judeji, pošto je kralj počinuo kod svojih otaca.

²It was he that built Eloth, and restored it to Judah, after the king slept with his fathers.

³Uziji bijaše šesnaest godina kad se zakraljio, a kraljevao je pedeset i dvije godine u Jeruzalemu. Mati mu se zvala Jekolija, a bila je iz Jeruzalema.

³Uzziah was sixteen years old when he began to reign; and he reigned fifty-two years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Jecholiah of Jerusalem.

⁴Činio je što je pravo u Jahvinim očima, sasvim kao i njegov otac Amasja.

⁴And he did what was right in the sight of Jehovah, according to all that his father Amaziah had done.

⁵Tražio je Boga za života Zaharije, koji ga je učio Božjem strahu; dokle je god tražio Jahvu, davao mu je Bog sreću.

⁵And he sought God in the days of Zechariah, who had understanding in the visions of God; and in the days that he sought Jehovah, God made him to prosper.

⁶On je izišao i zavojštio na Filistejce, srušio zid Gata, zid Jabne i zid Ašdoda; sagradio je mjesta po Ašdodu i Filisteji.

⁶And he went forth and fought against the Philistines, and broke down the wall of Gath, and the wall of Jabneh, and the wall of Ashdod; and built cities about Ashdod, and among the Philistines.

⁷Bog mu je pomogao protiv Filistejaca i protiv Arapa, koji su živjeli u Gur Baalu, i protiv Meunjana.

⁷And God helped him against the Philistines, and against the Arabians that dwelt in Gur-Baal, and the Maonites.

⁸Amonci su davali danak Uziji, a njegov se glas pronio do Egipta, jer se bijaše vrlo osilio.

⁸And the Ammonites gave gifts to Uzziah: and his name spread abroad to the entrance of Egypt; for he became exceeding strong.

⁹Uzija je sagradio kule u Jeruzalemu kod Ugaonih vrata, kod Dolinskih vrata i na uglu te ih utvrdio.

⁹And Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem at the corner gate, and at the valley gate, and at the angle, and fortified them.

¹⁰Sagradio je i u pustinji kule i iskopao mnogo studenaca, jer je imao mnogo stoke i u Šefeli i po Ravnici, ratara i vinogradara u gorama i vrtovima, jer je volio poljodjelstvo.

¹⁰And he built towers in the desert and digged many cisterns; for he had much cattle, both in the lowland and on the plateau, husbandmen [also] and vinedressers on the mountains and in Carmel; for he loved husbandry.

¹¹Uzija je imao vojsku vještu boju koja je išla u rat u četama po broju kako ih je izbrojio tajnik Jeiel i nadzornik Maasja pod upravom Hananije, jednoga od kraljevih knezova.

¹¹And Uzziah had an army 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.

¹²Svega je na broj bilo, obiteljskih glavara, hrabrih junaka, dvije tisuće i šest stotina.

¹²The whole number of the chief fathers of the mighty men of valour was two thousand six hundred.

¹³Pod njihovom je upravom bilo silne vojske trista sedam tisuća i pet stotina boju vičnih ratnika da pomažu kralju protiv neprijatelja.

¹³And under their hand was an army-host of three hundred and seven thousand five hundred, that made war with mighty power to help the king against the enemy.

¹⁴Uzija je pripravio svoj vojsci štitove, koplja, kacige, oklope, lukove i kamenje za praćke.

¹⁴And Uzziah prepared for them, throughout the host, shields, and spears, and helmets, and coats of mail, and bows, and even slinging-stones.

¹⁵Napravio je u Jeruzalemu vješto smišljene bojne sprave, iznašašće nekoga graditelja, da stoje na kulama i na kruništima, da bacaju strijele i veliko kamenje; pronio mu se glas nadaleko jer je uživao čudesnu pomoć sve dok se nije osilio.

¹⁵And he made in Jerusalem machines invented by skilful men, to be upon the towers and upon the bulwarks, wherewith to shoot arrows and great stones. And his name spread far abroad; for he was marvellously helped, till he became strong.

¹⁶Ali kad se osilio, uzobijestilo mu se srce dotle da se pokvario te se iznevjerio Jahvi, svome Bogu, jer je ušao u Jahvin Hekal i počeo prinositi kad na kadionom žrtveniku.

¹⁶But when he became strong his heart was lifted up to [his] downfall; and he transgressed against Jehovah his God, and went into the temple of Jehovah to burn incense upon the altar of incense.

¹⁷Ali je za njim ušao svećenik Azarja i s njim osamdeset Jahvinih svećenika, čestitih ljudi.

¹⁷And Azariah the priest went in after him, and with him priests of Jehovah, eighty valiant men;

¹⁸Oni ustadoše na kralja Uziju govoreći: "Nije tvoje, Uzijo, da kadiš Jahvi, nego je to dužnost svećenika, Aronovih sinova, koji su posvećeni da kade. Izlazi iz Svetišta! Iznevjerio si se. I ne služi ti na čast pred Bogom Jahvom!"

¹⁸and they withstood Uzziah the king, and said to him, It is not for thee, Uzziah, to burn incense to Jehovah, but for the priests the sons of Aaron, that are consecrated to burn incense. Go out of the sanctuary; for thou hast transgressed; neither shall it be for thine honour from Jehovah Elohim.

¹⁹Tada se Uzija rasrdi držeći u ruci kadionicu da kadi; kad se rasrdio na svećenike, izbi mu guba na čelu pred svećenicima u Domu Jahvinu kraj kadionog žrtvenika.

¹⁹And Uzziah was wroth; and he had a censer in his hand to burn incense; and while he was wroth with the priests, the leprosy rose up in his forehead before the priests in the house of Jehovah, beside the incense altar.

²⁰Kad ga svećenički poglavar Azarja i svi svećenici izbližega pogledaše, a ono, gle, izbila mu guba na čelu; brže ga otjeraše odande, a i on sam pohitje da iziđe jer ga Jahve bijaše udario.

²⁰And 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; even he himself hasted to go out, because Jehovah had smitten him.

²¹Kralj Uzija ostade gubav do smrti i stanovaše u odvojenoj kući, jer bijaše odstranjen od Doma Jahvina; njegov je sin Jotam bio upravitelj kraljevskoga dvora i sudio je puku zemlje.

²¹And Uzziah the king was a leper to 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.

²²Ostala Uzijina djela, od prvih do posljednjih, opisao je Amosov sin, prorok Izaija.

²²And the rest of the acts of Uzziah, first and last, did the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz write.

²³Uzija je počinuo i sahranili su ga kraj njegovih otaca na polju kod kraljevske grobnice, rekavši: "Gubav je." Na njegovo se mjesto zakraljio sin mu Jotam.

²³And Uzziah slept with his fathers; and they buried him with his fathers in the burial-ground of the kings, for they said, He is a leper. And Jotham his son reigned in his stead.
