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

¹All the people of Judah took Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in the place of his father Amaziah.

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

²He built Eloth, and restored it to Judah, after that 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.

³Sixteen years old was Uzziah when he began to reign; and he reigned fifty-two years in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Jechiliah, of Jerusalem.

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

⁴He did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh, 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.

⁵He set himself to seek God in the days of Zechariah, who had understanding in the vision of God: and as long as he sought Yahweh, 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.

⁶He went forth and warred against the Philistines, and broke down the wall of Gath, and the wall of Jabneh, and the wall of Ashdod; and he built cities in the country of Ashdod, and among the Philistines.

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

⁷God helped him against the Philistines, and against the Arabians who lived in Gur Baal, and the Meunim.

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

⁸The Ammonites gave tribute to Uzziah: and his name spread abroad even to the entrance of Egypt; for he grew exceeding strong.

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

⁹Moreover Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem at the corner gate, and at the valley gate, and at the turning of the wall, 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.

¹⁰He built towers in the wilderness, and dug out many cisterns, for he had much livestock; in the lowland also, and in the plain: and he had farmers and vineyard keepers in the mountains and in the fruitful fields; for he loved farming.

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.

¹¹Moreover Uzziah had an army of fighting men, who went out to war by bands, according to the number of their reckoning made by Jeiel the scribe and Maaseiah the officer, 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 heads of fathers’ households, even the mighty men of valor, was two thousand and six hundred.

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

¹³Under their hand was an army, three hundred thousand and seven thousand and five hundred, who 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.

¹⁴Uzziah prepared for them, even for all the army, shields, and spears, and helmets, and coats of mail, and bows, and stones for slinging.

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.

¹⁵He made in Jerusalem engines, invented by skillful men, to be on the towers and on the battlements, with which to shoot arrows and great stones. His name spread far abroad; for he was marvelously helped, until he was 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 was strong, his heart was lifted up, so that he did corruptly, and he trespassed against Yahweh his God; for he went into Yahweh’s temple to burn incense on the altar of incense.

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

¹⁷Azariah the priest went in after him, and with him eighty priests of Yahweh, who were 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 resisted Uzziah the king, and said to him, “It isn’t for you, Uzziah, to burn incense to Yahweh, but for the priests the sons of Aaron, who are consecrated to burn incense. Go out of the sanctuary; for you have trespassed; neither shall it be for your honor from Yahweh God.”

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.

¹⁹Then Uzziah was angry; and he had a censer in his hand to burn incense; and while he was angry with the priests, the leprosy broke forth in his forehead before the priests in the house of Yahweh, beside the altar of incense.

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.

²⁰Azariah the chief priest, and all the priests, looked on him, and behold, he was leprous in his forehead, and they thrust him out quickly from there; yes, himself hurried also to go out, because Yahweh had struck 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.

²¹Uzziah the king was a leper to the day of his death, and lived in a separate house, being a leper; for he was cut off from the house of Yahweh: 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.

²²Now the rest of the acts of Uzziah, first and last, Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, wrote.

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.

²³So Uzziah slept with his fathers; and they buried him with his fathers in the field of burial which belonged to the kings; for they said, “He is a leper.” Jotham his son reigned in his place.
