2 Chronicles 26

NEW JERUSALEM	Biblija Hrvatski
1 Al the people then chose Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in succession to hisfather Amaziah.	1 Tada sav judejski narod uze Uziju, komu bijaše šesnaest godina, i zakraljiše ga namjesto njegova oca Amasje.
2 It was he who rebuilt Elath, recovering it for Judah, after the king had fal en asleep with his ancestors.	2 On je opet sagradio Elat vrativši ga Judeji, pošto je kralj počinuo kod svojih otaca.
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 Uziji bijaše šesnaest godina kad se zakraljio, a kraljevao je pedeset i dvije godine u Jeruzalemu. Mati mu se zvala Jekolija, a bila je iz Jeruzalema.
4 He did what is pleasing to Yahweh, just as his father Amaziah had done;	4 Činio je što je pravo u Jahvinim očima, sasvim kao i njegov otac Amasja.
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 Tražio je Boga za života Zaharije, koji ga je učio Božjem strahu. Dokle je god tražio Jahvu, davao mu je Bog sreću.
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 On je izišao i zavojštio na Filistejce, srušio zid Gata, zid Jabne i zid Ašdoda; sagradio je mjesta po Ašdodu i Filisteji.
7 God helped him against the Philistines, the Arabs living at Gur-Baal and the Meunites.	7 Bog mu je pomogao protiv Filistejaca i protiv Arapa, koji su živjeli u Gur Baalu, i protiv Meunjana.
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 Amonci su davali danak Uziji, a njegov se glas pronio do Egipta, jer se bijaše vrlo osilio.
9 Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem, at the Corner Gate, at the Val ey Gate and at the Angle, and fortifiedthem.	9 Uzija je sagradio kule u Jeruzalemu kod Ugaonih vrata, kod Dolinskih vrata i na uglu te ih utvrdio.
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 Sagradio je i u pustinji kule i iskopao mnogo studenaca, jer je imao mnogo stoke i u Šefeli i po Ravnici, ratara i vinogradara u gorama i vrtovima, jer je volio poljodjelstvo.
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 Uzija je imao vojsku vještu boju koja je išla u rat u četama po broju kako ih je izbrojio tajnik Jeiel i nadzornik Maasja pod upravom Hananije, jednoga od kraljevih knezova.
12 The heads of families of the military champions numbered in al two thousand six hundred.	12 Svega je na broj bilo, obiteljskih glavara, hrabrih junaka, dvije tisuće i šest stotina.
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 Pod njihovom je upravom bilo silne vojske trista sedam tisuća i pet stotina boju vičnih ratnika da pomažu kralju protiv neprijatelja.
14 Uzziah provided shields, spears, helmets, armour, bows and sling-stones for the entire army.	14 Uzija je pripravio svoj vojsci štitove, koplja, kacige, oklope, lukove i kamenje za praćke.
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 Napravio je u Jeruzalemu vješto smišljene bojne sprave, iznašašće nekoga graditelja, da stoje na kulama i na kruništima, da bacaju strijele i veliko kamenje. Pronio mu se glas nadaleko jer je uživao čudesnu pomoć sve dok se nije osilio.
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 Ali kad se osilio, uzobijestilo mu se srce dotle da se pokvario te se iznevjerio Jahvi, svome Bogu, jer je ušao u Jahvin Hekal i počeo prinositi kâd na kadionom žrtveniku.
17 Azariah the priest with eight brave priests of Yahweh followed him in;	17 Ali je za njim ušao svećenik Azarja i s njim osamdeset Jahvinih svećenika, čestitih ljudi.
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 Oni ustadoše na kralja Uziju govoreći: »Nije tvoje, Uzijo, da kadiš Jahvi, nego je to dužnost svećenikâ, Aronovih sinova, koji su posvećeni da kade. Izlazi iz Svetišta! Iznevjerio si se. I ne služi ti na čast pred Bogom Jahvom!«
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 Tada se Uzija rasrdi držeći u ruci kadionicu da kadi; kad se rasrdio na svećenike, izbi mu guba na čelu pred svećenicima u domu Jahvinu kraj kadionog žrtvenika.
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 Kad ga svećenički poglavar Azarja i svi svećenici izbližega pogledaše, a ono, gle, izbila mu guba na čelu. Brže ga otjeraše odande, a i on sam pohitje da iziđe jer ga Jahve bijaše udario.
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 Kralj Uzija ostade gubav do smrti i stanovaše u odvojenoj kući, jer bijaše odstranjen od doma Jahvina; njegov je sin Jotam bio upravitelj kraljevskoga dvora i sudio je puku zemlje.
22 The rest of the history of Uzziah, from first to last, has been written by the prophet Isaiah son ofAmoz.	22 Ostala Uzijina djela, od prvih do posljednjih, opisao je Amosov sin, prorok Izaija.
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 Uzija je počinuo i sahranili su ga kraj njegovih otaca na polju kod kraljevske grobnice, rekavši: »Gubav je.« Na njegovo se mjesto zakraljio sin mu Jotam.
