2 Chronicles 26

NEW JERUSALEM	LXX
1 Al the people then chose Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in succession to hisfather Amaziah.	1 και ελαβεν πας ο λαος της γης τον οζιαν και αυτος δεκα και εξ ετων και εβασιλευσαν αυτον αντι του πατρος αυτου αμασιου
2 It was he who rebuilt Elath, recovering it for Judah, after the king had fal en asleep with his ancestors.	2 αυτος ωκοδομησεν την αιλαθ αυτος επεστρεψεν αυτην τω ιουδα μετα το κοιμηθηναι τον βασιλεα μετα των πατερων αυτου
3 Uzziah was sixteen years old when he came to the throne and he reigned for fifty-two years inJerusalem. His mother's name was Jecoliah of Jerusalem.	3 υιος δεκα εξ ετων εβασιλευσεν οζιας και πεντηκοντα και δυο ετη εβασιλευσεν εν ιερουσαλημ και ονομα τη μητρι αυτου χαλια απο ιερουσαλημ
4 He did what is pleasing to Yahweh, just as his father Amaziah had done;	4 και εποιησεν το ευθες ενωπιον κυριου κατα παντα οσα εποιησεν αμασιας ο πατηρ αυτου
5 he consulted God throughout the lifetime of Zechariah, who instructed him in the fear of God. And aslong as he consulted Yahweh, God gave him success.	5 και ην εκζητων τον κυριον εν ταις ημεραις ζαχαριου του συνιοντος εν φοβω κυριου και εν ταις ημεραις αυτου εζητησεν τον κυριον και ευοδωσεν αυτω κυριος
6 He went on campaign against the Philistines, demolished the wal s of Gath, the wal s of Jabneh andthe wal s of Ashdod, and built towns in the area of Ashdod and elsewhere in Philistine territory.	6 και εξηλθεν και επολεμησεν προς τους αλλοφυλους και κατεσπασεν τα τειχη γεθ και τα τειχη ιαβνη και τα τειχη αζωτου και ωκοδομησεν πολεις αζωτου και εν τοις αλλοφυλοις
7 God helped him against the Philistines, the Arabs living at Gur-Baal and the Meunites.	7 και κατισχυσεν αυτον κυριος επι τους αλλοφυλους και επι τους αραβας τους κατοικουντας επι της πετρας και επι τους μιναιους
8 The Meunites paid tribute to Uzziah and his fame spread as far as the frontier of Egypt, since he keptgrowing stronger and stronger.	8 και εδωκαν οι μιναιοι δωρα τω οζια και ην το ονομα αυτου εως εισοδου αιγυπτου οτι κατισχυσεν εως ανω
9 Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem, at the Corner Gate, at the Val ey Gate and at the Angle, and fortifiedthem.	9 και ωκοδομησεν οζιας πυργους εν ιερουσαλημ και επι την πυλην της γωνιας και επι την πυλην της φαραγγος και επι των γωνιων και κατισχυσεν
10 He built towers in the desert too, and dug many storage-wel s, for he had large herds in the lowlandsand on the tableland, and farmers and vine dressers in the hil s and fertile lands: for he loved the land.	10 και ωκοδομησεν πυργους εν τη ερημω και ελατομησεν λακκους πολλους οτι κτηνη πολλα υπηρχεν αυτω εν σεφηλα και εν τη πεδινη και αμπελουργοι εν τη ορεινη και εν τω καρμηλω οτι φιλογεωργος ην
11 Uzziah had a trained army ready to go on campaign, organised in companies manned as detailed bythe scribe Jeiel and the staff-officer Maaseiah, and commanded by Hananiah one of the king's generals.	11 και εγενετο τω οζια δυναμεις ποιουσαι πολεμον και εκπορευομεναι εις παραταξιν εις αριθμον και ο αριθμος αυτων δια χειρος ιιηλ του γραμματεως και μαασαιου του κριτου δια χειρος ανανιου του διαδοχου του βασιλεως
12 The heads of families of the military champions numbered in al two thousand six hundred.	12 πας ο αριθμος των πατριαρχων των δυνατων εις πολεμον δισχιλιοι εξακοσιοι
13 Under them was an army of three hundred and seven thousand five hundred men ready for war, apowerful force to support the king against the enemy.	13 και μετ' αυτων δυναμις πολεμικη τριακοσιαι χιλιαδες και επτακισχιλιοι πεντακοσιοι ουτοι οι ποιουντες πολεμον εν δυναμει ισχυος βοηθησαι τω βασιλει επι τους υπεναντιους
14 Uzziah provided shields, spears, helmets, armour, bows and sling-stones for the entire army.	14 και ητοιμαζεν αυτοις οζιας παση τη δυναμει θυρεους και δορατα και περικεφαλαιας και θωρακας και τοξα και σφενδονας εις λιθους
15 He also erected expertly contrived devices for the towers and angles of Jerusalem from which toshoot arrows and drop large stones. His fame spread far and wide, for he was miraculously helped to becomestrong.	15 και εποιησεν εν ιερουσαλημ μηχανας μεμηχανευμενας λογιστου του ειναι επι των πυργων και επι των γωνιων βαλλειν βελεσιν και λιθοις μεγαλοις και ηκουσθη η κατασκευη αυτων εως πορρω οτι εθαυμαστωθη του βοηθηθηναι εως ου κατισχυσεν
16 But once he was strong, his arrogance was such that it led to his downfall; he was unfaithful toYahweh his God by entering the Temple of Yahweh to burn incense on the altar of incense.	16 και ως κατισχυσεν υψωθη η καρδια αυτου του καταφθειραι και ηδικησεν εν κυριω θεω αυτου και εισηλθεν εις τον ναον κυριου θυμιασαι επι το θυσιαστηριον των θυμιαματων
17 Azariah the priest with eight brave priests of Yahweh followed him in;	17 και εισηλθεν οπισω αυτου αζαριας ο ιερευς και μετ' αυτου ιερεις του κυριου ογδοηκοντα υιοι δυνατοι
18 confronting King Uzziah, they said to him, 'Uzziah, you are not al owed to burn incense to Yahweh;only the Aaronite priests consecrated for the purpose may burn incense. Leave the sanctuary, for you have beenunfaithful and wil have no honour from Yahweh God.'	18 και εστησαν επι οζιαν τον βασιλεα και ειπαν αυτω ου σοι οζια θυμιασαι τω κυριω αλλ' η τοις ιερευσιν υιοις ααρων τοις ηγιασμενοις θυμιασαι εξελθε εκ του αγιασματος οτι απεστης απο κυριου και ουκ εσται σοι τουτο εις δοξαν παρα κυριου θεου
19 Uzziah, censer in hand to burn incense, flew into a rage. But while he was raging at the priests, avirulent skin-disease broke out on his forehead in the presence of the priests, in the Temple of Yahweh, there bythe altar of incense.	19 και εθυμωθη οζιας και εν τη χειρι αυτου το θυμιατηριον του θυμιασαι εν τω ναω και εν τω θυμωθηναι αυτον προς τους ιερεις και η λεπρα ανετειλεν εν τω μετωπω αυτου εναντιον των ιερεων εν οικω κυριου επανω του θυσιαστηριου των θυμιαματων
20 When Azariah the chief priest and al the other priests turned towards him, there was skin-disease onhis forehead and they hurried him outside, and he himself was equal y anxious to get out, because Yahweh hadstruck him.	20 και επεστρεψεν επ' αυτον ο ιερευς ο πρωτος και οι ιερεις και ιδου αυτος λεπρος εν τω μετωπω και κατεσπευσαν αυτον εκειθεν και γαρ αυτος εσπευσεν εξελθειν οτι ηλεγξεν αυτον κυριος
21 King Uzziah was afflicted with skin-disease til his dying day. Because of this, he lived confined to hisroom and was excluded from the Temple of Yahweh, while Jotham his son, who was master of the palace,governed the people of the country.	21 και ην οζιας ο βασιλευς λεπρος εως ημερας της τελευτης αυτου και εν οικω αφφουσωθ εκαθητο λεπρος οτι απεσχισθη απο οικου κυριου και ιωαθαμ ο υιος αυτου επι της βασιλειας αυτου κρινων τον λαον της γης
22 The rest of the history of Uzziah, from first to last, has been written by the prophet Isaiah son ofAmoz.	22 και οι λοιποι λογοι οζιου οι πρωτοι και οι εσχατοι γεγραμμενοι υπο ιεσσιου του προφητου
23 Then Uzziah fell asleep with his ancestors and was buried with them in the field beside the burialground of the kings since, it was reasoned, he was afflicted with virulent skin-disease. His son Jotham thensucceeded him.	23 και εκοιμηθη οζιας μετα των πατερων αυτου και εθαψαν αυτον μετα των πατερων αυτου εν τω πεδιω της ταφης των βασιλεων οτι ειπαν οτι λεπρος εστιν και εβασιλευσεν ιωαθαμ υιος αυτου αντ' αυτου
