II Livro das Crônicas 26

SAGRADA BIBLIA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
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 appointed his son, Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, as king in place 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 up Eloth, and he restored it to the dominion of Judah. After this, 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 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 Fez o bem aos olhos do Senhor, como tinha feito seu pai Amasias.	4 And he did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, in accord with all that his father, Amaziah, had done.
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 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 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 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 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, who were living in Gurbaal, and against the Ammonites.
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 weighed out gifts to Uzziah. And his name became widely known, even to the entrance of Egypt, because of his frequent victories.
9 Levantou torres fortificadas em Jerusalém, na porta do ângulo, na porta do vale e no ângulo.	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 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 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 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 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 O número total dos chefes de família, guerreiros valentes, era de dois mil e seiscentos.	12 And the entire number of the leaders, by the families of strong men, was two thousand 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 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 A todo esse exército Ozias fornecia escudos, lanças, capacetes, couraças, arcos e pedras de funda.	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 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 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 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 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 O sacerdote, Azarias, com oitenta corajosos sacerdotes do Senhor, seguiram-no.	17 And entering immediately after him, Azariah the priest, and with him eighty priests of the Lord, very 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 O profeta Isaías relatou os outros atos de Ozias, desde os primeiros até os últimos.	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 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 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.
