1 Omnis autem populus Iudae Oziam annorum sedecim constituit regem pro patre suo Amasia.	1 Then all the people of Judah appointed his son, Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, as king in place of his father, Amaziah.
2 Ipse reaedificavit Ailath et restituit eam dicioni Iudae, postquam dormivit rex cum patribus suis.	2 He built up Eloth, and he restored it to the dominion of Judah. After this, the king slept with his fathers.
3 Sedecim annorum erat Ozias, cum regnare coepisset, et quinquaginta duobus annis regnavit in Ierusalem. Nomen matris eius Iechelia de Ierusalem.	3 Uzziah was sixteen years old when he had begun to reign. And he reigned for fifty-two years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Jecoliah, from Jerusalem.
4 Fecitque, quod erat rectum in oculis Domini iuxta omnia, quae fecerat Amasias pater eius.	4 And he did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, in accord with all that his father, Amaziah, had done.
5 Et exquisivit Deum in diebus Zachariae, qui erudivit eum in timore Dei; et quamdiu requirebat Dominum, eum prosperari fecit Deus.	5 And he sought the Lord, during the days of Zechariah, who understood and saw God. And while he was seeking the Lord, he directed him in all things.
6 Denique egressus est et pugnavit contra Philisthim et destruxit murum Geth et murum Iabniae murumque Azoti. Aedificavit quoque oppida in regione Azoti et Philisthim.	6 Indeed, he went out and fought against the Philistines. And he destroyed the wall of Gath, and the wall of Jabneh, and the wall of Ashdod. Also, he built towns in Ashdod, and among the Philistines.
7 Et adiuvit eum Deus contra Philisthim et contra Arabas, qui habitabant in Gurbaal, et contra Meunitas.	7 And God helped him against the Philistines, and against the Arabians, who were living in Gurbaal, and against the Ammonites.
8 Pendebantque Ammonitae munera Oziae; et divulgatum est nomen eius usque ad introitum Aegypti, quia confortatus est in excelsum.	8 And the Ammonites weighed out gifts to Uzziah. And his name became widely known, even to the entrance of Egypt, because of his frequent victories.
9 Aedificavitque Ozias turres in Ierusalem super portam Anguli et super portam Vallis et super Angulum firmavitque eas.	9 And Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem, above the gate of the corner, and above the gate of the valley, and others on the same side of the wall, and he fortified them.
10 Exstruxit etiam turres in solitudine et fodit cisternas plurimas, eo quod haberet multa pecora tam in Sephela quam in planitie; agricolas quoque habuit et vinitores in montibus et in campis fertilibus; erat quippe homo agriculturae deditus.	10 Then he also constructed towers in the wilderness, and dug many cisterns, because he had much cattle, both in the plains and in the starkness of the wilderness. Also, he had vineyards and dressers of vines in the mountains and at Carmel. Certainly, he was a man devoted to agriculture.
11 Fuit autem exercitus bellatorum eius, qui procedebant ad proelia in turmis secundum numerum census per manum Iehiel scribae Maasiaeque praefecti sub manu Hananiae, qui erat de ducibus regis.	11 Now the army of his warriors, who would go forth to battle, was under the hand of Jeiel, the scribe, and Maaseiah, the teacher, and under the hand of Hananiah, who was among the king’s commanders.
12 Omnisque numerus principum per familias virorum fortium duorum milium sescentorum.	12 And the entire number of the leaders, by the families of strong men, was two thousand six hundred.
13 Et sub eis universus exercitus trecentorum et septem milium quingentorum, qui erant apti ad bella, ut pro rege contra adversarios dimicarent.	13 And the entire army under them was three hundred and seven thousand five hundred, who were fit for war, and who fought on behalf of the king against the adversaries.
14 Praeparavit quoque eis Ozias, id est cuncto exercitui, clipeos et hastas et galeas et loricas arcusque et fundas ad iaciendos lapides.	14 Also, Uzziah prepared for them, that is, for the entire army, shields, and spears, and helmets, and breastplates, and bows, as well as slings for the casting of stones.
15 Et fecit in Ierusalem machinas excogitatas arte, quas in turribus collocavit et in angulis murorum, ut mitterent sagittas et saxa grandia; egressumque est nomen eius procul, eo quod mirabiliter auxiliaretur ei Dominus et corroborasset illum.	15 And in Jerusalem, he made various kinds of machines, which he placed in the towers, and at the corners of the walls, so as to shoot arrows and large stones. And his name went forth to far away places, for the Lord was helping him and had strengthened him.
16 Sed, cum roboratus esset, elevatum est cor eius in interitum suum, et deliquit contra Dominum Deum suum; ingressusque templum Domini adolere voluit incensum super altare thymiamatis.	16 But when he had become strong, his heart was lifted up, even to his own destruction. And he neglected the Lord his God. And entering into the temple of the Lord, he intended to burn incense upon the altar of incense.
17 Statimque ingressus post eum Azarias sacerdos et cum eo sacerdotes Domini octoginta viri fortissimi;	17 And entering immediately after him, Azariah the priest, and with him eighty priests of the Lord, very valiant men,
18 restiterunt regi atque dixerunt: “ Non est tui officii, Ozia, ut adoleas incensum Domino, sed sacerdotum, hoc est filiorum Aaron, qui consecrati sunt ad huiuscemodi ministerium. Egredere de sanctuario, quia praevaricatus es; et non reputabitur tibi in gloriam hoc a Domino Deo ”.	18 withstood the king, and they said: “It is not your office, Uzziah, to burn incense to the Lord; rather, it is the office of the priests, that is, of the sons of Aaron, who have been consecrated for this same ministry. Depart from the sanctuary, otherwise you will be in contempt. For this act will not be reputed to you for your glory by the Lord God.”
19 Iratusque est Ozias et tenens in manu turibulum, ut adoleret incensum, minabatur sacerdotibus. Statimque orta est lepra in fronte eius coram sacerdotibus in domo Domini super altare thymiamatis.	19 And Uzziah, having become angry, while holding in his hand the censer so that he might burn incense, threatened the priests. And immediately a leprosy arose on his forehead, in the sight of the priests, in the house of the Lord, at the altar of incense.
20 Cumque respexisset eum Azarias pontifex et omnes reliqui sacerdotes, viderunt lepram in fronte eius et festinato expulerunt eum; sed et ipse acceleravit egredi, eo quod malo afflixisset eum Dominus.	20 And when the high priest Azariah, and all the rest of the priests, had gazed upon him, they saw the leprosy on his forehead, and they hurried to expel him. Then too, he himself, becoming terrified, rushed to depart, because immediately he had become aware of the wound of the Lord.
21 Fuit igitur Ozias rex leprosus usque ad diem mortis suae et habitavit in domo separata plenus lepra, eo quod abscissus fuerat de domo Domini. Porro Ioatham filius eius rexit domum regis et iudicabat populum terrae.	21 And so, king Uzziah was a leper, even until the day of his death. And he lived in a separate house, being full of leprosy, because of which he had been ejected from the house of the Lord. Then Jotham, his son, directed the house of the king, and he was judging the people of the land.
22 Reliqua autem gestorum Oziae priorum et novissimorum scripsit Isaias filius Amos propheta.	22 But the rest of the words of Uzziah, the first and the last, were written by the prophet Isaiah, the son of Amoz.
23 Dormivitque Ozias cum patribus suis, et sepelierunt eum in agro regalium sepulcrorum, eo quod dicebant: “ Erat leprosus ”. Regnavitque Ioatham filius eius pro eo.	23 And Uzziah slept with his fathers. And they buried him in the field of the royal sepulchers, because he was a leper. And Jotham, his son, reigned in his place.
