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

¹In vse ljudstvo Judovo vzame Uzija [Se imenuje Azarija.], ki je bil šestnajst let star, ter ga postavijo za kralja namesto očeta njegovega Amazija.

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

²On je sezidal Elot, pridobivši ga za Judo, potem ko je bil kralj legel k očetom svojim.

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.

³Šestnajst let star je bil Uzija, ko je zakraljeval, in vladal je dvainpetdeset let v Jeruzalemu; in materi njegovi je bilo ime Jekolija iz Jeruzalema.

⁴He did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh, according to all that his father Amaziah had done.

⁴In delal je, kar je bilo prav v očeh GOSPODOVIH, po vsem, kar je bil delal Amazija, oče njegov.

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.

⁵In iskal je Boga v dnevih Zeharija, ki je razumel prikazni Božje; in dokler je iskal GOSPODA, mu je Bog dajal srečo.

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.

⁶In šel je in se bojeval zoper Filistejce, in razdrl je obzidje v Gatu in obzidje v Jabni in obzidje v Asdodu, in sezidal je mesta v kraju Asdodskem in med Filistejci.

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

⁷In Bog mu je pomagal zoper Filistejce in zoper Arabce, ki so prebivali v Gurbaalu, in zoper Meunime.

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

⁸In Amonci so dajali darove Uziju; in ime njegovo je zaslovelo povsod, celo v Egiptu; kajti postal je silno mogočen.

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.

⁹In Uzija je tudi zgradil stolpe v Jeruzalemu na Vogelnih vratih in na Dolinskih vratih in na voglu zidovja ter jih je utrdil.

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.

¹⁰In sezidal je stolpe v puščavi in izkopal mnogo vodnjakov, kajti imel je veliko živine v nižavi in na planjavi; imel je tudi kmetovalcev in vinogradnikov v gorah in na rodovitnih poljanah, zakaj ljubil je poljedelstvo.

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.

¹¹Vrhutega je imel Uzija vojsko, pripravno za boj, ki je hodila na vojno po četah, po številu, kakor jih je preštel Jegiel, pisar, in Maaseja, oblastnik, pod roko Hananija, enega kraljevih poveljnikov.

¹²The whole number of the heads of fathers’ households, even the mighty men of valor, was two thousand and six hundred.

¹²Vse število poglavarjev očetovin, hrabrih junakov, je bilo dva tisoč in šeststo.

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.

¹³In pod njih roko je bila izurjena vojska, trikrat sto tisoč in sedem tisoč in petsto, ki so se bojevali v krepki moči, da pomagajo kralju zoper sovražnika.

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

¹⁴In Uzija je oskrbel njim, vsej vojski, ščite in sulice, čelade in oklepe, loke in kamenje za prače.

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.

¹⁵Naredil je tudi stroje v Jeruzalemu, iznajdbe umetnikov, da bodo na stolpih in utrdbah, da se ž njimi streljajo pšice in veliki kameni. In ime njegovo je daleč slovelo, ker mu je bilo čudno pomagano, da je postal mogočen.

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.

¹⁶Toda ko je postal mogočen, se je prevzelo srce njegovo, njemu v pogubo, in ravnal je nezvesto zoper GOSPODA, Boga svojega; kajti šel je v tempelj GOSPODOV kadit na kadilnem oltarju.

¹⁷Azariah the priest went in after him, and with him eighty priests of Yahweh, who were valiant men:

¹⁷A Azarija duhovnik je šel noter za njim in ž njim osemdeset duhovnikov GOSPODOVIH, junaški možje,

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.”

¹⁸in so stopili proti Uziju kralju in mu dejali: Tebi se ne spodobi, Uzija, da žgeš kadilo GOSPODU, temuč duhovnikom, sinovom Aronovim, ki so posvečeni, da žgo kadilo. Idi ven iz svetišča, zakaj pregrešil si se, in to ti ne bode nikakor v čast pred GOSPODOM Bogom.

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.

¹⁹Tedaj se Uzija razjezi, držeč kadilnico v roki, da bi kadil; in ko izpušča jezo svojo proti duhovnikom, se mu izrinejo gobe po čelu vpričo duhovnikov v hiši GOSPODOVI, pred kadilnim oltarjem.

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.

²⁰In Azarija, prvi duhovnik, in vsi duhovniki se ozro nanj, in glej, gobav je po čelu! Tedaj ga hitro izženo odondod, da, sam je hitel ven, ker ga je udaril GOSPOD.

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.

²¹In kralj Uzija je bil gobav do dne smrti svoje in prebival je v hiši posebe kot gobavec; zakaj izločen je bil od hiše GOSPODOVE. In Jotam, sin njegov, je bil nad kraljevim dvorom in je sodil ljudstvo dežele.

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

²²A druga dejanja Uzijeva, prva in poslednja, je zapisal prorok Izaija, sin Amozov.In legel je Uzija k očetom svojim, in pokopali so ga na pogrebnem polju, ki je bilo kraljevsko, zakaj dejali so: Gobavec je! In Jotam, sin njegov, je zakraljeval na mestu njegovem.

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.

²³In legel je Uzija k očetom svojim, in pokopali so ga na pogrebnem polju, ki je bilo kraljevsko, zakaj dejali so: Gobavec je! In Jotam, sin njegov, je zakraljeval na mestu njegovem.
