1 ث ُمَّ اختارَ شَعبُ يَهُوذا عُزِّيّا مَلِكاً جَدِيداً مَكانَ أبيهِ أمَصْيا. وَكانَ عُزِّيّا فِي السّادِسَةَ عَشْرَةَ مِنْ عُمرِهِ عِندَما تَوَلَّى الحُكمَ.

And all the people of Judah take Uzziah (and he a son of sixteen years), and cause him to reign instead of his father Amaziah.

2 و َأعادَ عُزِّيّا بِناءَ مَدِينَةِ أَيلَةَ وَأعادَها إلَى يَهُوذا. عَمِلَ عُزِّيا هَذا بَعْدَ أنْ ماتَ أمَصْيا وَدُفِنَ مَعَ آبائِهِ.

He hath built Eloth, and restoreth it to Judah after the king's lying with his fathers.

3 ك انَ عُزِّيّا فِي السّادِسَةَ عَشْرَةَ منْ عُمرِه عِندَما صارَ مَلِكاً. وَحَكَمَ اثنَتَيْنِ وَخَمْسِينَ سَنَةً فِي القُدسِ. وَاسْمُ أُمِّهِ يَكُلْيا وَهِيَ مِنَ القُدْسِ.

A son of sixteen years Uzziah in his reigning, and fifty and two years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother Jecholiah of Jerusalem.

4 و َعَمِلَ عُزِّيّا ما يُرضِي اللهَ. فَأطاعَ اللهَ كَما فَعَلَ أبُوهُ أمَصْيا.

And he doth that which is right in the eyes of Jehovah, according to all that Amaziah his father did,

5 و َتَبِعَ عُزِّيّا اللهَ طَوالَ حَياةِ زَكَرِيّا الَّذِي عَلَّمَهُ كَيفَ يَتَّقي اللهَ وَيُطِيعُهُ. وَقَدْ وَفَّقَ اللهُ عُزِّيّا حِينَ كانَ يَتبَعُ اللهَ.

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.

6 و َشَنَّ عُزِّيّا حَرباً عَلَى الفِلِسْطِيِّينَ. وَهَدَمَ الأسوارَ المُحيطَةِ بِمَدِينَةِ جَتَّ وَلِبْنَةَ وَأشدُودَ. وَبَنَى مُدُناً قُربَ مَدِينَةِ أشدُودَ وَفِي أماكِنَ أُخْرَى بَينَ الفِلِسْطِيِّينَ.

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.

7 و َأعانَ اللهُ عُزِّيّا فِي حَربِهِ عَلَى الفِلِسْطِيِّينَ، وَالعَرَبِ السّاكنِينَ فِي مَدينَةِ جُورِ بَعلٍ وَالمَعُونِيِّينَ.

And God helpeth him against the Philistines, and against the Arabians who are dwelling in Gur-Baal and the Mehunim.

8 و َدَفَعَ العَمُّونِيُّونَ الجزيَةَ لِعُزِّيّا، فَصارَ اسْمُهُ مَعرُوفاً حَتَّى حُدُودِ مِصرَ بفَضلِ قُوَّتِهِ الكَبِيرَةِ.

And the Ammonites give a present to Uzziah, and his name goeth unto the entering in of Egypt, for he strengthened himself greatly.

9 و َبَنَى عُزِّيّا أبراجاً فِي القُدسِ عندَ بَوّابَةِ الزّاوِيَةِ، وَبَوّابَةِ الوادِي وَفِي مُنعَطَفِ السُّورِ. وَقَوَّى هَذِه الأبراجَ.

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;

10 و َبَنَى أبراجاً في الصَّحراءِ، وَحَفَرَ أيضاً آباراً كَثِيرَةً في المَناطِقِ الجَبَلِيَّةِ وَفِي السُّهُولِ. وَكانَ لَدَيهِ مُزارِعُونَ فِي الجِبالِ الغَربِيَّةِ وَفِي الأراضِي الخَصبَةِ. وَكانَ لَدَيهِ أيضاً رِجالٌ يَعتَنُونَ بِالكُرُومِ. فَقَدْ كانَ يُحِبُّ الزِّراعَةَ.

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.

11 و َكانَ لَدَى عُزِّيّا جَيشٌ مِنَ الجُنُودِ المُدَرَّبِينَ. وَقَدْ قَسَّمَ الجَيشَ إلَى فِرَقٍ وَفْقَ الخُطَّةِ الَّتِي أعَدَّها يَعِيئِيلُ كاتِبُ المَلِكِ، وَالضابِطُ مَعْسِيَّا، تَحتَ إدارَةِ حَنَنْيا، أحَدِ كِبارِ الضُّبّاطِ لَدَى المَلِكِ. فَأحصَى يَعِيئيلُ وَمَعْسِيَّا الجُنُودَ وَقَسَّماهُمْ فِي فِرَقٍ.

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 of the heads of the king.

12 و َكانَ هُناكَ ألفانِ وَسِتُّ مِئَةِ رَئِيسٍ عَلَى هَؤُلاء الجُنُودِ.

The whole number of heads of the fathers of the mighty ones of valour two thousand and six hundred;

13 ف َكانَ رُؤَساءُ العائِلاتِ مَسؤُولِينَ عَنْ جَيشٍ قِوامُهُ ثَلاثُ مِئَةِ ألفٍ وَسَبعَةُ آلافٍ وَخَمسُ مِئَةٍ منَ المُحارِبِينَ الأشِدّاءِ الَّذِينَ سانَدُوا المَلِكَ فِي حَرْبِهِ عَلَى الأعْداءَ.

and by their hand 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.

14 و َسَلَّحَ عُزِّيّا الجَيشَ بِالتُّرُوسِ وَالرِّماحِ وَالخُوَذِ وَالدُّرُوعِ وَالأقواسِ وَحِجارَةٍ لِلمَقالِيعِ.

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.

15 و َوَضَعَ عُزِّيّا فِي القُدسِ قاذِفاتِ حِجارَةٍ اختَرَعَها رِجالٌ أذكِياءٌ. وُضِعَتْ هَذِهِ الآلاتُ عَلَى الأبراجِ وَزَوايا الأسوارِ. فَكانَتْ تُطلِقُ سِهاماً وَحِجارَةً ضَخمَةً. فَذاعَ صِيتُ عُزِّيّا فِي أماكِنَ بَعِيدَةٍ. وَقَدْ أعانَهُ اللهُ حَتَّى صارَ مَلكاً قَوِيّاً.

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.

16 ل َكِنْ عِندَما صارَ عُزِّيّا مَلِكاً قَوِيّاً، وَقَعَ فِي فَخِّ الكِبرِياءِ، مِمّا أدَّى إلَى هَلاكِهِ. فَلَمْ يَعُدْ وَفِيّاً لإلَهِهِ ، إذْ دَخَلَ بِنَفْسِهِ إلَى هَيكَلِ اللهِ لِكَي يَحرِقَ بَخُوراً عَلَى مَذْبَحِ البَخُورِ.

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.

17 ف َلَحِقَ بِهِ إلَى داخِلِ الهَيكَلِ الكاهِنُ عَزَرْيا، وَثَمانُونَ كاهِناً شُجاعاً يَخدِمُونَ اللهَ.

And Azariah the priest goeth in after him, and with him priests of Jehovah eighty, sons of valour,

18 و َواجَهُوهُ وَحاوَلُوا مَنْعَهُ فَقالُوا لَهُ: «لَيسَ مَسمُوحاً لَكَ بِأنْ تَحْرِقَ بَخُوراً للهِ. فَهَذا عَمَلُ الكَهَنَةِ المُقَدَّسِينَ منْ بَنِي هارُونَ. قَدْ تَجاوَزْتَ حَدَّكَ. فَاخْرُجِ الآنَ مِنَ المَكانِ المُقَدَّسِ. لَقَدْ خُنْتَ شَرِيعَةَ اللهِ. فَلا تَتَوَهَّمْ أنَّ اللهُ سَيُكرِمُكَ عَلَى ما فَعَلتَهُ!»

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 not to thee for honour from Jehovah God.'

19 ف َغَضِبَ عُزِّيّا كَثِيراً. وَكانَتْ فِي يَدِهِ مِجمَرَةٌ لإحراق البَخُورِ. وَعِندَما غَضِبَ كَثِيراً عَلَى الكَهَنَةِ، ظَهَرَ البَرَصُ عَلَى جَبِينهِ عَلَى مَرْأى مِنَ الكَهَنَةِ فِي بَيتِ اللهِ قُرْبَ مَذْبَحِ البَخُورِ.

And Uzziah is wroth, and in his hand 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.

20 و َنَظَرَ رَئيسُ الكَهَنَةِ عَزَرْيا وَكُلُّ الكَهَنَةِ إلَى عُزِّيّا، وَرَأَوْا البَرَصَ عَلَى جَبِينِهِ. فَبَدَأُوا يَطرُدُونَهُ مِنَ الهَيكَلِ. وَعِندَما أدرَكَ عُزِّيّا أنَّ اللهَ عاقَبَهُ بِالبَرَصِ، بادَرَ هُوَ نَفسُهُ إلَى الإسراعِ بِالخُرُوجِ.

And Azariah the head priest looketh unto him, and all the priests, and lo, he leprous in his forehead, and they hasten him thence, and also he himself hath hastened to go out, for Jehovah hath plagued him.

21 ف َصارَ المَلِكُ عُزِّيّا أبرَصَ، وَلَمْ يَعُدْ بِمَقدُورِهِ أنْ يَدخُلَ بَيتَ اللهِ. فَتَوَلَّى يُوثامُ بْنُ عُزِّيّا الإشرافَ عَلَى بَيْتِ المَلِكِ، وَصارَ حاكِماً للشَّعبِ.

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 over the house of the king, judging the people of the land.

22 أ مّا بَقِيَّةُ أعْمالِ عُزِّيّا، مِنْ أوَّلِها إلَى آخِرِها، فَهِيَ مَدَوَّنَةٌ فِي كِتاباتِ النَّبِيُّ إشَعْياءُ بْنُ آمُوصَ.

And the rest of the matters of Uzziah, the first and the last, hath Isaiah son of Amoz the prophet written;

23 و َماتَ عُزِّيّا وَدُفِنَ إلَى جِوارِ آبائِهِ. وَدَفَنُوهُ فِي الحَقلِ قُرْبَ القُبُورِ المَلَكيَّةِ، لِأنَّ الشَّعبَ قالُوا: «إنَّهُ أبرَصٌ.» وَخَلَفَهُ عَلَى العَرشِ ابنُهُ يُوثامُ.

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 a leper;' and reign doth Jotham his son in his stead.
