Chronicles II 26
1 Then all the people of the land took Ozias, and he was sixteen years old, and they made him king in the room of his father Amasias.
Omnis autem populus Iuda filium eius Oziam annorum sedecim, constituit regem pro Amasia patre suo.
2 He built Aelath, he recovered it to Juda, after the king slept with his fathers.
Ipse ædificavit Ailath, et restituit eam ditioni Iuda, postquam dormivit rex cum patribus suis.
3 Ozias began to reign at the age of sixteen years, and he reigned fifty-two years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Jechelia of Jerusalem.
Sedecim annorum erat Ozias cum regnare cœpisset, et quinquaginta duobus annis regnavit in Ierusalem, nomen matris eius Iechelia de Ierusalem.
4 And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that Amasias his father did.
Fecitque quod erat rectum in oculis Domini iuxta omnia, quæ fecerat Amasias pater eius.
5 And he sought the Lord in the days of Zacharias, who understood the fear of the Lord; and in his days he sought the Lord, and the Lord prospered him.
Et exquisivit Dominum in diebus Zachariæ intelligentis et videntis Deum: cumque requireret Dominum, direxit eum in omnibus.
6 And he went out and fought against the Philistines, and pulled down the walls of Geth, and the walls of Jabner, and the walls of Azotus, and he built cities [near] Azotus, and among the Philistines.
Denique egressus est, et pugnavit contra Philisthiim, et destruxit murum Geth, et murum Iabniæ, murumque Azoti: ædificavit quoque oppida in Azoto, et in Philisthiim.
7 And the Lord strengthened him against the Philistines, and against the Arabians that dwelt on the rock, and against the Minaeans.
Et adiuvit eum Deus contra Philisthiim, et contra Arabes, qui habitabant in Gurbaal, et contra Ammonitas.
8 And the Minaeans gave gifts to Ozias; and his fame spread as far as the entering in of Egypt, for he strengthened [himself] exceedingly.
Appendebantque Ammonitæ munera Oziæ: et divulgatum est nomen eius usque ad introitum Ægypti propter crebras victorias.
9 And Ozias built towers in Jerusalem, both at the gate of the corners, and at the valley gate, and at the corners and he fortified them.
Ædificavitque Ozias turres in Ierusalem super portam anguli, et super portam vallis, et reliquas in eodem muri latere, firmavitque eas.
10 And he built towers in the wilderness, and dug many wells, for he had many cattle in the low country and in the plain; and vinedressers in the mountain country and in Carmel: for he was a husbandman.
Extruxit etiam turres in solitudine, et effodit cisternas plurimas, eo quod haberet multa pecora tam in campestribus, quam in eremi vastitate: vineas quoque habuit et vinitores in montibus, et in Carmelo: erat quippe homo agriculturæ deditus.
11 And Ozias had a host of warriors, and that went out orderly to war, and returned orderly in number; and their number was [made] by the hand of Jeiel the scribe, and Maasias the judge, by the hand of Ananias the king's deputy.
Fuit autem exercitus bellatorum eius, qui procedebant ad prælia sub manu Iehiel scribæ, Maasiæque doctoris, et sub manu Hananiæ, qui erat de ducibus regis.
12 The whole number of the chiefs of families of the mighty men of war [was] two thousand six hundred;
Omnisque numerus principum per familias virorum fortium, duorum millium sexcentorum.
13 and with them was a warrior force, three hundred thousand and seven thousand and five hundred: these waged war mightily to help the king against [his] enemies.
Et sub eis universus exercitus trecentorum et septem millium quingentorum: qui erant apti ad bella, et pro rege contra adversarios dimicabant.
14 And Ozias prepared for them, [even] for all the host, shields, and spears, and helmets, and breastplates, and bows, and slings for stones.
Præparavit quoque eis Ozias, id est, cuncto exercitui, clypeos, et hastas, et galeas, et loricas, arcusque et fundas ad iaciendos lapides.
15 And he made in Jerusalem machines invented by a wise contriver, to be upon the towers and upon the corners, to cast darts and great stones: and [the fame] of their preparation was heard at a distance; for he was wonderfully helped, till he was strong.
Et fecit in Ierusalem diversi generis machinas, quas in turribus collocavit, et in angulis murorum ut mitterent sagittas, et saxa grandia: egressumque est nomen eius procul, eo quod auxiliaretur ei Dominus, et corroborasset illum.
16 And when he was strong, his heart was lifted up to his destruction; and he transgressed against the Lord his God, and went into the temple of the Lord to turn incense on the altar of incense.
Sed cum roboratus esset, elevatum est cor eius in interitum suum, et neglexit Dominum Deum suum: ingressusque templum Domini, adolere voluit incensum super altare thymiamatis.
17 And there went in after him Azarias the priest, and with him eighty priests of the Lord, mighty men.
Statimque ingressus post eum Azarias sacerdos, et cum eo Sacerdotes Domini octoginta, viri fortissimi,
18 And they withstood Ozias the king, and said to him, [It is] not for thee, Ozias, to burn incense to the Lord, but only for the priests the sons of Aaron, who are consecrated to sacrifice: go forth of the sanctuary, for thou hast departed from the Lord; and this shall not be for glory to thee from the Lord god.
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, ne contempseris: quia non reputabitur tibi in gloriam hoc a Domino Deo.
19 And Ozias was angry, and in his hand [was] the censer to burn incense in the temple: and when he was angry with the priests, then the leprosy rose up in his forehead before the priests in the house of the Lord, over the altar of incense.
Iratusque Ozias, tenens in manu thuribulum ut adoleret incensum, minabatur Sacerdotibus. Statimque orta est lepra in fronte eius coram Sacerdotibus, in domo Domini super altare thymiamatis.
20 And Azarias the chief priest, and the [other] priests, turned [to look] at him, and, behold, he [was] leprous in his forehead; and they got him hastily out thence, for he also hasted to go out, because the Lord had rebuked him.
Cumque respexisset eum Azarias pontifex, et omnes reliqui Sacerdotes, viderunt lepram in fronte eius, et festinato expulerunt eum. Sed et ipse perterritus, acceleravit egredi, eo quod sensisset illico plagam Domini.
21 And Ozias the king was a leper to the day of his death, and he dwelt [as] a leper in a separate house; for he was cut off from the house of the Lord: and Joathan his son [was set] over his kingdom, judging the people of the land.
Fuit igitur Ozias rex leprosus usque ad diem mortis suæ, et habitavit in domo separata plenus lepra, ob quam eiectus fuerat de domo Domini. Porro Ioatham filius eius rexit domum regis, et iudicabat populum terræ.
22 And the rest of the acts of Ozias, the first and the last, [are] written by Jessias the prophet.
Reliqua autem sermonum Oziæ priorum et novissimorum scripsit Isaias filius Amos, propheta.
23 And Ozias slept with his fathers, and they buried him with his fathers in the field of the burial [place] of the kings, for they said, He is a leper; and Joatham his son reigned in his stead.
Dormivitque Ozias cum patribus suis, et sepelierunt eum in agro regalium sepulchrorum, eo quod esset leprosus: regnavitque Ioatham filius eius pro eo.
