1유다 온 백성이 웃시야로 그 부친 아마샤를 대신하여 왕을 삼으니 때에 나이 십육 세라 2왕이 그 열조와 함께 잔 후에 웃시야가 엘롯을 건축하여 유다에 돌렸더라 3웃시야가 위에 나아갈 때에 나이 십육 세라 예루살렘에서 오십이 년을 치리하니라 그 모친의 이름은 여골리아라 예루살렘 사람이더라 4웃시야가 그 부친 아마샤의 모든 행위대로 여호와 보시기에 정직히 행하며 5하나님의 묵시를 밝히 아는 스가랴의 사는 날에 하나님을 구하였고 저가 여호와를 구할 동안에는 하나님이 형통케 하셨더라 6웃시야가 나가서 블레셋 사람과 싸우고 가드 성과 야브네 성과 아스돗 성을 헐고 아스돗 땅과 블레셋 사람 가운데 성읍들을 건축하매 7하나님이 도우사 블레셋 사람과 구르바알에 거한 아라비아 사람과 마온 사람을 치게 하신지라 8암몬 사람이 웃시야에게 조공을 바치매 웃시야가 심히 강성하여 이름이 애굽 변방까지 퍼졌더라 9웃시야가 예루살렘에서 성 모퉁이 문과 골짜기 문과 성굽이에 망대를 세워 견고하게 하고 10또 거친 땅에 망대를 세우고 물웅덩이를 많이 팠으니 평야와 평지에 욱축을 많이 기름이며 또 여러 산과 좋은 밭에 농부와 포도원을 다스리는 자를 두었으니 농사를 좋아함이더라 11웃시야에게 또 싸우는 군사가 있으니 서기관 여이엘과 영장 마아세야의 조사한 수효대로 왕의 장관 하나냐의 수하에 속하여 떼를 지어 나가서 싸우는 자라 12족장의 총수가 이천육백 명이니 모두 큰 용사요 13그 수하의 군대가 삼십만 칠천오백 명이라 건장하고 싸움에 능하여 왕을 도와 대적을 치는 자며 14웃시야가 그 온 군대를 위하여 방패와 창과 투구와 갑옷과 활과 물매 돌을 예비하고 15또 예루살렘에서 공교한 공장으로 기계를 창작하여 망대와 성곽 위에 두어 살과 큰 돌을 발하게 하였으니 그 이름이 원방에 퍼짐은 기이한 도우심을 얻어 강성하여짐이더라 16저가 강성하여지매 그 마음이 교만하여 악을 행하여 그 하나님 여호와께 범죄하되 곧 여호와의 전에 들어가서 향단에 분향하려 한지라 17제사장 아사랴가 여호와의 제사장 용맹한 자 팔십 인을 데리고 그 뒤를 따라 들어가서 18웃시야 왕을 막아 가로되 웃시야여 여호와께 분향하는 일이 왕의 할 바가 아니요 오직 분향하기 위하여 구별함을 받은 아론의 자손 제사장의 할 바니 성소에서 나가소서 왕이 범죄하였으니 하나님 여호와께 영광을 얻지 못하리이다 19웃시야가 손으로 향로를 잡고 분향하려 하다가 노를 발하니 저가 제사장에게 노할 때에 여호와의 전 안 향단 곁 제사장 앞에서 그 이마에 문둥병이 발한지라 20대제사장 아사랴와 모든 제사장이 왕의 이마에 문둥병이 발하였음을 보고 전에서 급히 쫓아내고 여호와께서 치시므로 왕도 속히 나가니라 21웃시야 왕이 죽는 날까지 문둥이가 되었고 문둥이가 되매 여호와의 전에서 끊어졌고 별궁에 홀로 거하였으므로 그 아들 요담이 왕궁을 관리하며 국민을 치리하였더라 22이 외에 웃시야의 시종 행적은 아모스의 아들 선지자 이사야가 기록하였더라 23웃시야가 그 열조와 함께 자매 저는 문둥이라 하여 열왕의 묘실 접한 땅 곧 그 열조의 곁에 장사하니라 그 아들 요담이 대신하여 왕이 되니라

1All the people of Judah took Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in the place of his father Amaziah. 2He built Eloth, and restored it to Judah, after that the king slept with his fathers. 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. 4He did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh, according to all that his father Amaziah had done. 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. 6He went out and fought 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. 7God helped him against the Philistines, and against the Arabians who lived in Gur Baal, and the Meunim. 8The Ammonites gave tribute to Uzziah: and his name spread abroad even to the entrance of Egypt; for he grew exceeding strong. 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. 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. 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. 12The whole number of the heads of fathers’ households, even the mighty men of valor, was two thousand and six hundred. 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. 14Uzziah prepared for them, even for all the army, shields, and spears, and helmets, and coats of mail, and bows, and stones for slinging. 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. 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. 17Azariah the priest went in after him, and with him eighty priests of Yahweh, who were valiant men: 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.” 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 out on his forehead before the priests in Yahweh’s house, beside the altar of incense. 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. 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 Yahweh’s house: and Jotham his son was over the king’s house, judging the people of the land. 22Now the rest of the acts of Uzziah, first and last, Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, wrote. 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.

1Toen nam het ganse volk van Juda Uzzia (die nu zestien jaren oud was), en maakte hem koning in de plaats van zijn vader Amazia. 2Dezelve bouwde Eloth, en bracht ze weder aan Juda, nadat de koning met zijn vaderen ontslapen was. 3Zestien jaren was Uzzia oud, toen hij koning werd, en hij regeerde twee en vijftig jaren te Jeruzalem; en de naam zijner moeder was Jecholia, van Jeruzalem. 4En hij deed dat recht was in de ogen des HEEREN, naar alles, wat zijn vader Amazia gedaan had. 5Want hij begaf zich om God te zoeken, in de dagen van Zacharia, die verstandig was in de gezichten Gods; in de dagen nu, dat hij den HEERE zocht, maakte hem God voorspoedig. 6Want hij toog uit, en krijgde tegen de Filistijnen, en brak den muur van Gath, en den muur van Jabne, en den muur van Asdod; daartoe bouwde hij steden in Asdod, en onder de Filistijnen. 7En God hielp hem tegen de Filistijnen, en tegen de Arabieren, die te Gur-Baal woonden, en tegen de Meunieten. 8En de Ammonieten gaven Uzzia geschenken; en zijn naam ging tot den ingang van Egypte, want hij sterkte zich ten hoogste. 9Daartoe bouwde Uzzia torens te Jeruzalem, aan de Hoekpoort en aan de Dalpoort, en aan de hoeken; en hij sterkte ze. 10Hij bouwde ook torens in de woestijn, en hieuw vele putten uit, overmits hij veel vee had, beide in de laagten en in de effene velden; akkerlieden en wijngaardeniers op de bergen en op de vruchtbare velden; want hij was een liefhebber van den land bouw. 11Verder had Uzzia een heirkracht van geoefenden ten oorlog, uittrekkende ten heire bij benden, naar het getal hunner monstering, daar de hand van Jeiel, den schrijver, en Mahaseja, den ambtman; onder de hand van Hananja, een van de vorsten des konings. 12Het gehele getal van de hoofden der vaderen, der strijdbare helden, was twee duizend en zeshonderd. 13En onder hun hand was een krijgsheir van driehonderd zeven duizend en vijfhonderd, die met strijdbare kracht zich ten oorlog oefenden, om den koning tegen den vijand te helpen. 14En Uzzia bereidde voor hen, voor het ganse heir, schilden, en spiesen, en helmen, en pantsieren, en bogen, zelfs tot de slingerstenen toe. 15Hij maakte ook te Jeruzalem kunstige werken, bedenking van kunstige werkmeesters, dat zij op de torens en op de hoeken zijn zouden, om met pijlen en met grote stenen, te schieten; zo ging zijn naam tot verre toe uit, want hij werd wonderlijk geholpen, totdat hij sterk was. 16Maar als hij sterk geworden was, verhief zich zijn hart tot verdervens toe, en hij overtrad tegen den HEERE, zijn God; want hij ging in den tempel des HEEREN, om te roken op het reukaltaar. 17Doch Azaria, de priester, ging hem na, en met hem des HEEREN priesters, tachtig kloeke mannen. 18En zij wederstonden den koning Uzzia, en zeiden tot hem: Het komt u niet toe, Uzzia, den HEERE te roken, maar den priesteren, Aarons zonen, die geheiligd zijn, om te roken; ga uit het heiligdom, want gij hebt overtreden, en het zal u niet tot eer zijn van den HEERE God. 19Toen werd Uzzia toornig, en het reukwerk was in zijn hand, om te roken; als hij nu toornig werd tegen de priesteren, rees de melaatsheid op aan zijn voorhoofd, voor het aangezicht der priesteren in het huis des HEEREN, van boven het reukaltaar. 20Alstoen zag de hoofdpriester Azaria op hem, en al de priesteren en ziet, hij was melaats aan zijn voorhoofd, en zij stieten hem met der haast van daar, ja hij zelf werd ook gedreven uit te gaan, omdat de HEERE hem geplaagd had. 21Alzo was de koning Uzzia melaats tot aan den dag zijns doods; en melaats zijnde, woonde hij in een afgezonderd huis, want hij was van het huis des HEEREN afgesneden; Jotham nu, zijn zoon, was over het huis des konings, richtende het volk des lands. 22Het overige nu der geschiedenissen van Uzzia, de eerste en de laatste, heeft de profeet Jesaja, de zoon van Amos, beschreven. 23En Uzzia ontsliep met zijn vaderen, en zij begroeven hem bij zijn vaderen, in het veld van de begrafenis, die van de koningen was; want zij zeiden: hij is melaats; en zijn zoon Jotham werd koning in zijn plaats.
