| [1]And 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. |
[1]Then all the people of Judah took Uzziah, which was sixteen year old, and made him king in the stead of his father Amaziah. |
| [2]He hath built Eloth, and restoreth it to Judah after the king's lying with his fathers. |
[2]He built Eloth, and restored it to Judah after that the king slept with his fathers. |
| [3]A 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. |
[3]Sixteen year old was Uzziah, when he began to reign, and he reigned two and fifty year in Jerusalem, and his mother's name was Jechiliah of Jerusalem. |
| [4]And he doth that which is right in the eyes of Jehovah, according to all that Amaziah his father did, |
[4]And he did uprightly in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his father Amaziah did. |
| [5]and 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. |
[5]And he sought God in the days of Zechariah (which understood the visions of God) and when as he sought the Lord, God made him to prosper. |
| [6]And 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. |
[6]For he went forth and fought against the Philistines and break down the wall of Gath, and the wall of Jabneh, and the wall of Ashdod, and built cities in Ashdod, and among the Philistines. |
| [7]And God helpeth him against the Philistines, and against the Arabians who are dwelling in Gur-Baal and the Mehunim. |
[7]And God helped him against the Philistines, and against the Arabians that dwelt in Gur-baal and Hammeunim. |
| [8]And the Ammonites give a present to Uzziah, and his name goeth unto the entering in of Egypt, for he strengthened himself greatly. |
[8]And the Ammonites gave gifts to Uzziah, and his name spread to the entering in of Egypt: for he did most valiantly. |
| [9]And 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; |
[9]Moreover Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem at the corner gate, and at the valley gate, and at the turning, and made them strong. |
| [10]and 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. |
[10]And he built towers in the wilderness, and digged many cisterns: for he had much cattle both in the valleys and plains, plowmen, and dressers of vines in the mountains, and in Carmel: for he loved husbandry. |
| [11]And 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. |
[11]Uzziah had also an host of fighting men that went out to war by bands, according to the count of their number under the hand of Jeiel the scribe, and Maaseiah the ruler, and under the hand of Hananiah, one of the king's captains. |
| [12]The whole number of heads of the fathers of the mighty ones of valour [is] two thousand and six hundred; |
[12]The whole number of the chief of the families of the valiant men were two thousand and six hundred. |
| [13]and 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. |
[13]And under their hand was the army for war, three hundred and seven thousand, and five hundred that fought valiantly to help the king against the enemy. |
| [14]And 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. |
[14]And Uzziah prepared them throughout all the host, shields, and spears, and helmets, and brigandines, and bows, and stones to sling. |
| [15]And 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. |
[15]He made also very artificial engines in Jerusalem, to be upon the towers and upon the corners, to shoot arrows and great stones: and his name spread far abroad, because God did help him marvelously, till he was mighty. |
| [16]And 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. |
[16]But when he was strong, his heart was lift up to his destruction: for he transgressed against the Lord his God, and went into the temple of the Lord to burn incense upon the altar of incense. |
| [17]And Azariah the priest goeth in after him, and with him priests of Jehovah eighty, sons of valour, |
[17]And Azariah the priest went in after him, and with him fourscore priests of the Lord, valiant men. |
| [18]and 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.' |
[18]And they withstood Uzziah the king, and said unto him, It pertaineth not to thee, Uzziah, to burn incense unto the Lord, but to the priests the sons of Aaron, that are consecrated for to offer incense: go forth of the sanctuary: for thou hast transgressed, and thou shalt have none honor of the Lord God. |
| [19]And 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. |
[19]Then Uzziah was wroth, and had incense in his hand to burn it: and while he was wroth with the priests, the leprosy rose up in his forehead before the priests in the house of the Lord beside the incense altar. |
| [20]And 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. |
[20]And when Azariah the chief priest with all the priests looked upon him, behold, he was leprous in his forehead, and they caused him hastily to depart thence: and he was even compelled to go out, because the Lord had smitten him. |
| [21]And 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. |
[21]And Uzziah the king was a leper unto the day of his death, and dwelt as a leper in an house apart, because he was cut off from the house of the Lord: and Jotham his son ruled over the king's house, and judged the people of the land. |
| [22]And the rest of the matters of Uzziah, the first and the last, hath Isaiah son of Amoz the prophet written; |
[22]Concerning the rest of the acts of Uzziah, first and last, did Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz write. |
| [23]and 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. |
[23]So Uzziah slept with his fathers, and they buried him with his fathers in the field of the burial, which pertained to the kings: for they said, He is a leper. And Jotham his son reigned in his stead. |
