¹Ja kogu Juuda rahvas võttis Ussija, kes oli kuusteist aastat vana, ja tõstis ta tema isa Amasja asemele kuningaks.

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

²Tema ehitas üles Eelati ja tõi selle tagasi Juudale, pärast seda kui kuningas oli läinud magama oma vanemate juurde.

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

³Ussija oli kuningaks saades kuusteist aastat vana ja ta valitses Jeruusalemmas viiskümmend kaks aastat; ta ema nimi oli Jekolja, Jeruusalemmast.

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.

⁴Tema tegi, mis õige oli Issanda silmis, kõigiti nõnda, nagu tema isa Amasja oli teinud.

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

⁵Ta otsis Jumalat, niikaua kui elas Sakarja, kes oli arukas Jumala nägemises; ja niikaua kui ta otsis Issandat, andis Jumal temale edu.

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.

⁶Ta läks välja ja sõdis vilistite vastu ning kiskus maha Gati müüri, Jabne müüri ja Asdodi müüri ning ehitas linnu Asdodi ja vilistite maa-alale.

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.

⁷Jumal aitas teda vilistite vastu ja nende araablaste vastu, kes elasid Guur-Baalis, ning meunlaste vastu.

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

⁸Ja ammonlased andsid Ussijale ande ning tema kuulsus levis kuni Egiptuseni, sest ta sai väga võimsaks.

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

⁹Ja Ussija ehitas Jeruusalemma tornid Nurgavärava, Oruvärava ja Kõveriku peale ning kindlustas need.

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

¹⁰Ta ehitas torne kõrbe ja kaevas palju kaevusid, sest tal oli palju karja madalmaal ja tasandikul, põllumehi ja viinamäetöölisi mäestikus ja viljapuuaedades, kuna ta armastas põllutööd.

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.

¹¹Ja Ussijal oli võitlusvalmis sõjavägi, kes rühmadena sõtta läks, olles arvuliselt ära loetud kirjutaja Jeieli ja nimestiku hooldaja Maaseja poolt Hananja juhatusel; Hananja oli üks kuninga pealikuid.

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.

¹²Perekondade peameeste koguarv vahvate võitlejate hulgas oli kaks tuhat kuussada.

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

¹³Nende juhatada oli sõjavägi, kolmsada seitse tuhat viissada meest, võitlusvalmis ja küllalt tugev, et aidata kuningat vaenlase vastu.

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.

¹⁴Ja Ussija varustas neid, kogu sõjaväge, kilpide, piikide, kiivrite, soomusrüüde, ambude ja lingukividega.

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

¹⁵Ja ta tegi Jeruusalemma osavalt leiutatud seadeldised tornide ja nurkade peale, noolte ja suurte kivide heitmiseks; ja tema kuulsus levis kaugele, sest ta sai imepäraselt abi, kuni ta sai vägevaks.

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.

¹⁶Aga kui ta oli saanud vägevaks, läks ta süda ülbeks, nõnda et ta talitas kõlvatult ja murdis truudust Issandale, oma Jumalale: ta läks Issanda templisse suitsutama suitsutusaltaril.

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.

¹⁷Siis läks preester Asarja tema järel sisse ja koos temaga kaheksakümmend Issanda preestrit, kõik tublid mehed.

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

¹⁸Nemad astusid kuningas Ussijale vastu ning ütlesid temale: 'Pole sinu asi, Ussija, Issandale suitsutada, vaid see on preestrite, Aaroni poegade asi, kes on pühitsetud suitsutama. Mine pühamust välja, sest sa oled üle astunud ja see ei tule sulle auks Issandalt Jumalalt!'

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.

¹⁹Siis vihastus Ussija, kel oli parajasti käes suitsutuspann suitsutamiseks; ja kui ta preestrite pärast vihastus, lõi Issanda kojas suitsutusaltari juures preestrite nähes ta laubal välja pidalitõbi.

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.

²⁰Ja kui ülempreester Asarja ja kõik preestrid vaatasid tema poole, vaata, siis oli ta laubal pidalitõbi. Siis nad ajasid ta sealt kiiresti ära, ja ka tema ise tõttas välja, sest Issand oli teda löönud.

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.

²¹Ja kuningas Ussija oli pidalitõbine kuni oma surmapäevani ning elas pidalitõbisena omaette kojas, sest teda hoiti Issanda kojast eemal. Ja Jootam, tema poeg, valitses kuningakoja üle ning mõistis kohut maa rahvale.

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.

²²Ja muud Ussija lood, varasemad ja hilisemad, on prohvet Jesaja, Aamotsi poeg, kirja pannud.

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

²³Siis Ussija läks magama oma vanemate juurde ja ta maeti oma vanemate juurde matmisväljale, mis kuulus kuningatele, sest nad ütlesid: 'Ta on pidalitõbine.' Ja tema poeg Jootam sai tema asemel kuningaks.

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.
