2 Chronicles 26

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	GREEK BIBLE
1 All the people of Judah chose Uzziah, though he was but sixteen years of age, and proclaimed him king to succeed his father Amaziah.	1 Ελαβε δε πας ο λαος του Ιουδα τον Οζιαν, οντα ηλικιας δεκαεξ ετων, και εκαμον αυτον βασιλεα αντι του πατρος αυτου Αμασιου.
2 He rebuilt Elath and restored it to Judah; this was after King Amaziah had gone to rest with his ancestors.	2 Ουτος ωκοδομησε την Αιλωθ και επεστρεψεν αυτην εις τον Ιουδαν, αφου ο βασιλευς εκοιμηθη μετα των πατερων αυτου.
3 Uzziah was sixteen years old when he became king, and he reigned fifty-two years in Jerusalem. His mother, named Jecoliah, was from Jerusalem.	3 Δεκαεξ ετων ηλικιας ητο ο Οζιας οτε εβασιλευσε, και εβασιλευσε πεντηκοντα δυο ετη εν Ιερουσαλημ? το δε ονομα της μητρος αυτου ητο Ιεχολια εξ Ιερουσαλημ.
4 He pleased the LORD, just as his father Amaziah had done.	4 Και επραξε το ευθες ενωπιον Κυριου, κατα παντα οσα επραξεν Αμασιας ο πατηρ αυτου.
5 He was prepared to seek God as long as Zechariah lived, who taught him to fear God; and as long as he sought the LORD, God made him prosper.	5 Και εξεζητει τον Θεον εν ταις ημεραις του Ζαχαριου, του νοημονος εις τας ορασεις του Θεου? και οσον καιρον εξεζητει τον Κυριον, ευωδονεν αυτον ο Θεος.
6 He went out and fought the Philistines and razed the walls of Gath, Jabneh and Ashdod (and built cities in the district of Ashdod and in Philistia).	6 Και εξηλθε και επολεμησεν εναντιον των Φιλισταιων, και εκρημνισε το τειχος της Γαθ και το τειχος της Ιαβνη και το τειχος της Αζωτου και ωκοδομησε πολεις εν Αζωτω και εν Φιλισταιοις.
7 God helped him against the Philistines, against the Arabs who dwelt in Gurbaal, and against the Meunites.	7 Και εβοηθησεν αυτον ο Θεος εναντιον των Φιλισταιων και εναντιον των Αραβων των κατοικουντων εν Γουρ-βααλ, και των Μεουνειμ.
8 The Ammonites paid tribute to Uzziah and his fame spread as far as Egypt, for he grew stronger and stronger.	8 Και εδωκαν οι Αμμωνιται δωρα εις τον Οζιαν? και διεδοθη το ονομα αυτου εως της εισοδου της Αιγυπτου? διοτι εκραταιωθη εις ακρον.
9 Moreover, Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem at the Corner Gate, at the Valley Gate, and at the Angle, and he fortified them.	9 Και ωκοδομησεν ο Οζιας πυργους εν Ιερουσαλημ, επι της πυλης της γωνιας και επι της πυλης της φαραγγος και επι των γωνιων, και ωχυρωσεν αυτους.
10 He built towers in the desert and dug numerous cisterns, for he had many cattle. He had plowmen in the foothills and the plains, and vinedressers in the highlands and the garden land. He was a lover of the soil.	10 Ωικοδομησεν ετι πυργους εν τη ερημω και ηνοιξε πολλα φρεατα? διοτι ειχε κτηνη πολλα και εν τοις χαμηλοις τοποις και εν ταις πεδιασι και γεωργους και αμπελουργους εν τη ορεινη και εν τω Καρμηλω? διοτι ηγαπα την γεωργιαν.
11 Uzziah also had a standing army of fit soldiers divided into bands according to the number in which they were mustered by Jeiel the scribe and Maaseiah the recorder, under the command of Hananiah, one of the king's officials.	11 Και ειχεν ο Οζιας στρατευμα πολεμιστων, εξερχομενων εις πολεμον κατα ταγματα, κατα τον αριθμον της απαριθμησεως αυτων γενομενης υπο Ιειηλ του γραμματεως και Μαασια του επιστατου, υπο την οδηγιαν του Ανανιου, ενος των στρατηγων του βασιλεως.
12 The entire number of family heads over these valiant warriors was two thousand six hundred,	12 Πας ο αριθμος των αρχηγων των πατριων των δυνατων εν ισχυι ητο δυο χιλιαδες εξακοσιοι.
13 and at their disposal was a mighty army of three hundred seven thousand five hundred fighting men of great valor to help the king against his enemies.	13 Και υπο την οδηγιαν αυτων ητο δυναμις πολεμικη, τριακοσιαι επτα χιλιαδες και πεντακοσιοι, δυνατοι και ανδρειοι εις τον πολεμον, δια να βοηθωσι τον βασιλεα εναντιον των εχθρων.
14 Uzziah provided for them--for the entire army--bucklers, lances, helmets, breastplates, bows and slingstones.	14 Και ητοιμασεν εις αυτους ο Οζιας, εις απαν το στρατευμα, θυρεους και λογχας και περικεφαλαιας και θωρακας και τοξα και σφενδονας δια λιθους.
15 He also built machines in Jerusalem, devices contrived to stand on the towers and at the angles of the walls to shoot arrows and cast large stones. His fame spread far and wide, and his power was ascribed to the marvelous help he had received.	15 Και εκαμεν εν Ιερουσαλημ μηχανας, εφευρημενας υπο μηχανικων, δια να ηναι επι των πυργων και επι των γωνιων, ωστε να ριπτωσι δι' αυτων βελη και λιθους μεγαλους? και εξηλθε το ονομα αυτου μακραν? διοτι εβοηθειτο θαυμασιως, εωσου εκραταιωθη.
16 But after he had become strong, he became proud to his own destruction and broke faith with the LORD, his God. He entered the temple of the LORD to make an offering on the altar of incense.	16 Αλλ' αφου εκραταιωθη, επηρθη η καρδια αυτου εις διαφθοραν? και ησεβησεν εις Κυριον τον Θεον αυτου και εισηλθεν εις τον ναον του Κυριου δια να θυμιαση επι το θυσιαστηριον του θυμιαματος.
17 But Azariah the priest, and with him eighty other priests of the LORD, courageous men, followed him.	17 Και Αζαριας ο ιερευς εισηλθε κατοπιν αυτου, και μετ' αυτου ογδοηκοντα ιερεις του Κυριου, ανδρες δυνατοι?
18 They opposed King Uzziah, saying to him: "It is not for you, Uzziah, to burn incense to the LORD, but for the priests, the sons of Aaron, who have been consecrated for this purpose. Leave the sanctuary, for you have broken faith and no longer have a part in the glory that comes from the LORD God."	18 και αντεστησαν εις τον Οζιαν τον βασιλεα και ειπον προς αυτον, Δεν ανηκει εις σε, Οζια, να θυμιασης εις τον Κυριον, αλλ' εις τους ιερεις τους υιους του Ααρων, τους καθιερωμενους να θυμιαζωσιν? εξελθε εκ του αγιαστηριου? διοτι ησεβησας? και τουτο δεν θελει εισθαι προς δοξαν εις σε παρα Κυριου του Θεου.
19 Uzziah, who was holding a censer for burning the incense, became angry, but at the moment he showed his anger to the priests, while they were looking at him in the house of the LORD beside the altar of incense, leprosy broke out on his forehead.	19 Ο δε Οζιας, εχων εν τη χειρι αυτου θυμιατηριον δια να θυμιαση, εθυμωθη? και ενω εθυμωθη προς τους ιερεις, ανετειλεν η λεπρα εν τω μετωπω αυτου εμπροσθεν των ιερεων εν τω οικω του Κυριου, πλησιον του θυσιαστηριου του θυμιαματος.
20 Azariah the chief priest and all the other priests examined him, and when they saw that his forehead was leprous, they expelled him from the temple. He himself fled willingly, for the LORD had afflicted him.	20 Και ανεβλεψεν εις αυτον Αζαριας ο ιερευς ο πρωτος και παντες οι ιερεις, και ιδου, ητο λεπρος κατα το μετωπον αυτου? και εσπευσαν να εκβαλωσιν αυτον εκειθεν? και αυτος μαλιστα εσπευσε να εξελθη, διοτι επαταξεν αυτον ο Κυριος.
21 King Uzziah remained a leper to the day of his death. As a leper he dwelt in a segregated house, for he was excluded from the house of the LORD. Therefore his son Jotham was regent of the palace and ruled the people of the land.	21 Και ητο ο Οζιας ο βασιλευς λεπρος εως της ημερας του θανατου αυτου? και κατωκει εν οικω κεχωρισμενω λεπρος? διοτι απεκοπη απο του οικου του Κυριου? ητο δε επι του οικου του βασιλεως Ιωθαμ ο υιος αυτου, κρινων τον λαον της γης.
22 The prophet Isaiah, son of Amos, wrote the rest of the acts of Uzziah, first and last.	22 Αι δε λοιπαι πραξεις του Οζιου, αι πρωται και αι εσχαται, εγραφησαν υπο Ησαιου του προφητου υιου του Αμως.
23 Uzziah rested with his ancestors; he was buried with them in the field adjoining the royal cemetery, for they said, "He was a leper." His son Jotham succeeded him as king.	23 Και εκοιμηθη ο Οζιας μετα των πατερων αυτου, και εθαψαν αυτον μετα των πατερων αυτου εν τω πεδιω της ταφης των βασιλεων? διοτι ειπον, Ειναι λεπρος. Και εβασιλευσεν αντ' αυτου Ιωθαμ ο υιος αυτου.
