SAGRADA BIBLIAKING JAMES BIBLE
1 Todo o povo de Judá tomou por rei a Ozias, então com a idade de dezesseis anos, e o entronizou em lugar de seu pai Amasias.1 Then all the people of Judah took Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in the room of his father Amaziah.
2 Foi ele quem reedificou Elat e fez voltar essa cidade ao domínio de Judá, depois que o rei adormeceu com seus pais.2 He built Eloth, and restored it to Judah, after that the king slept with his fathers.
3 Tinha Ozias a idade de dezesseis anos quando começou a reinar, e reinou cinqüenta e dois anos em Jerusalém. Sua mãe chamava-se Jequelia e era de Jerusalém.3 Sixteen years old was Uzziah when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty and two years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Jecoliah of Jerusalem.
4 Fez o bem aos olhos do Senhor, como tinha feito seu pai Amasias.4 And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father Amaziah did.
5 Aplicou-se a honrar a Deus durante a vida de Zacarias, que o instruiu no temor de Deus. Enquanto honrou ao Senhor, Deus o fez prosperar.5 And he sought God in the days of Zechariah, who had understanding in the visions of God: and as long as he sought the LORD, God made him to prosper.
6 Fez uma expedição contra os filisteus. Derrubou a muralha de Get, a de Jabnia e a de Azot; construiu cidades no território de Azot e na terra dos filisteus.6 And he went forth and warred against the Philistines, and brake down the wall of Gath, and the wall of Jabneh, and the wall of Ashdod, and built cities about Ashdod, and among the Philistines.
7 Deus o ajudou contra os filisteus, contra os árabes de Gurbaal, e contra os maonitas.7 And God helped him against the Philistines, and against the Arabians that dwelt in Gur-baal, and the Mehunims.
8 Os amonitas lhe pagaram tributo, e sua fama se fortificou de tal modo, que se estendeu até os confins do Egito.8 And the Ammonites gave gifts to Uzziah: and his name spread abroad even to the entering in of Egypt; for he strengthened himself exceedingly.
9 Levantou torres fortificadas em Jerusalém, na porta do ângulo, na porta do vale e no ângulo.9 Moreover Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem at the corner gate, and at the valley gate, and at the turning of the wall, and fortified them.
10 Construiu também torres no deserto, onde cavou numerosos poços, pois possuía ali numerosos rebanhos, tanto na planície como no planalto. Tinha lavradores e vinhateiros nas montanhas e nos pomares, porque se interessava pela agricultura.10 Also he built towers in the desert, and digged many wells: for he had much cattle, both in the low country, and in the plains: husbandmen also, and vine dressers in the mountains, and in Carmel: for he loved husbandry.
11 Ozias tinha um exército de guerreiros que saíam por turmas ao combate, contados segundo o recenseamento deles, feito pelo escriba Jeiel e o comissário Maasias, sob a direção de Hananias, um dos generais do rei.11 Moreover Uzziah had an host of fighting men, that went out to war by bands, according to the number of their account by the hand of Jeiel the scribe and Maaseiah the ruler, under the hand of Hananiah, one of the king's captains.
12 O número total dos chefes de família, guerreiros valentes, era de dois mil e seiscentos.12 The whole number of the chief of the fathers of the mighty men of valour were two thousand and six hundred.
13 O exército que comandavam era de trezentos e sete mil e quinhentos homens, que faziam a guerra com valor suficiente para ajudar o rei contra o inimigo.13 And under their hand was an army, three hundred thousand and seven thousand and five hundred, that made war with mighty power, to help the king against the enemy.
14 A todo esse exército Ozias fornecia escudos, lanças, capacetes, couraças, arcos e pedras de funda.14 And Uzziah prepared for them throughout all the host shields, and spears, and helmets, and habergeons, and bows, and slings to cast stones.
15 Mandou construir em Jerusalém, pelos cuidados de um engenheiro, máquinas para serem colocadas nas torres e nos ângulos das muralhas, que atiravam flechas e grandes pedras. Sua fama se estendeu ao longe, pois Deus fez maravilhas para ajudá-lo a adquirir um grande poder.15 And he made in Jerusalem engines, invented by cunning men, to be on the towers and upon the bulwarks, to shoot arrows and great stones withal. And his name spread far abroad; for he was marvellously helped, till he was strong.
16 Mas, apenas sentiu-se ele poderoso, seu coração encheu-se de orgulho, para sua desgraça. Cometeu uma falta contra o Senhor, seu Deus, entrando no templo do Senhor para queimar incenso no altar dos perfumes.16 But when he was strong, his heart was lifted up to his destruction: for he transgressed against the LORD his God, and went into the temple of the LORD to burn incense upon the altar of incense.
17 O sacerdote, Azarias, com oitenta corajosos sacerdotes do Senhor, seguiram-no.17 And Azariah the priest went in after him, and with him fourscore priests of the LORD, that were valiant men:
18 Resistiram ao rei Ozias e lhe disseram: Não compete a ti, Ozias, queimar incenso ao Senhor, mas aos sacerdotes da estirpe de Aarão, que foram consagrados para esse fim. Sai do santuário, porque prevaricaste, e isso não será para ti honra diante do Senhor Deus.18 And they withstood Uzziah the king, and said unto him, It appertaineth not unto thee, Uzziah, to burn incense unto the LORD, but to the priests the sons of Aaron, that are consecrated to burn incense: go out of the sanctuary; for thou hast trespassed; neither shall it be for thine honour from the LORD God.
19 Então Ozias, tendo na mão o turíbulo, encolerizou-se; mas, durante esse acesso de cólera, apareceu a lepra em sua fronte, ali, no templo do Senhor, na presença dos sacerdotes, diante do altar dos perfumes.19 Then Uzziah was wroth, and had a censer in his hand to burn incense: and while he was wroth with the priests, the leprosy even rose up in his forehead before the priests in the house of the LORD, from beside the incense altar.
20 O sumo sacerdote Azarias e todos os outros sacerdotes, olhando-o, viram essa lepra que ele tinha na fronte. Precipitadamente fizeram-no sair; aliás, ele próprio se apressou em sair, sentindo-se ferido pelo Senhor.20 And Azariah the chief priest, and all the priests, looked upon him, and, behold, he was leprous in his forehead, and they thrust him out from thence; yea, himself hasted also to go out, because the LORD had smitten him.
21 O rei Ozias ficou leproso até a morte. Como tal, viveu numa casa isolada. Estava excluído do templo do Senhor, e seu filho Joatão governava o palácio e julgava o povo da terra.21 And Uzziah the king was a leper unto the day of his death, and dwelt in a several house, being a leper; for he was cut off from the house of the LORD: and Jotham his son was over the king's house, judging the people of the land.
22 O profeta Isaías relatou os outros atos de Ozias, desde os primeiros até os últimos.22 Now the rest of the acts of Uzziah, first and last, did Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, write.
23 Ozias adormeceu entre seus pais e foi sepultado perto deles, no campo da sepultura dos reis, porque diziam: Ele era leproso. Seu filho Joatão sucedeu-lhe no trono.23 So Uzziah slept with his fathers, and they buried him with his fathers in the field of the burial which belonged to the kings; for they said, He is a leper: and Jotham his son reigned in his stead.
