II Chronicles 26

vayyiqkhu kol-am yehudah et-uzziyyahu vehu ben-shesh esreh shanah vayyamlikhu oto takhat aviv amatsyahu

Then all the people of Judah took Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, and proclaimed him king to succeed his father Amaziah.

hu banah et-elot vayeshiveha lihudah akhare shekhav-hammelekh im-avotayw

It was he who rebuilt Eloth and restored it to Judah after King [Amaziah] rested with his ancestors.

ben-shesh esreh shanah uzziyyahu vemolkho vakhamishim ushetayim shanah malakh birushalai͏m veshem immo (ykhylyh) [yekholyah] min-yerushalai͏m

Uzziah was sixteen years old when he became king, and he reigned fifty-two years in Jerusalem; his mother’s name was Jecoliah of Jerusalem.

vayya'as hayyashar be'ene Adonai kekhol asher-asah amatsyahu aviv

He did what was pleasing to GOD just as his father Amaziah had done.

vayehi lidrosh elohim bime zekharyahu hammevin birot ha'elohim uvime dorsho et-Adonai hitslikho ha'elohim

He applied himself to the worship of God during the time of Zechariah, instructor in the visions of God; during the time he worshiped the ETERNAL, God made him prosper.

vayyetse vayyillakhem bappelishtim vayyifrots et-khomat gat ve'et khomat yavneh ve'et khomat ashdod vayyivneh arim be'ashdod uvappelishtim

He went forth to fight the Philistines, and breached the wall of Gath and the wall of Jabneh and the wall of Ashdod; he built towns in [the region of] Ashdod and among the Philistines.

vayyazerehu ha'elohim al-pelishtim ve'al-[ha'arvim] (hrvyym) hayyoshevim begur-ba'al vehamme'unim

God helped him against the Philistines, against the Arabs who lived in Gur-baal, and the Meunites.

vayyittenu ha'ammonim minkhah le'uzziyyahu vayyelekh shemo ad-levo mitsrayim ki hekheziq ad-lema'elah

The Ammonites paid tribute to Uzziah, and his fame spread to the approaches of Egypt, for he grew exceedingly strong.

vayyiven uzziyyahu migdalim birushalai͏m al-sha'ar happinnah ve'al-sha'ar haggay ve'al-hammiqtsoa vayekhazzeqem

Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem on the Corner Gate and the Valley Gate and on the Angle, and fortified them.

vayyiven migdalim bammidbar vayyakhtsov borot rabbim ki miqneh-rrav hayah lo uvashefelah uvammishor ikkarim vekhoremim beharim uvakkarmel ki-ohev adamah hayah

He built towers in the wilderness and hewed out many cisterns, for he had much cattle, and farmers in the foothills and on the plain, and vine dressers in the mountains and on the fertile lands, for he loved the soil.

vayehi le'uzziyyahu khayil oseh milkhamah yotse'e tsava ligdud bemispar pequddatam beyad (yvl) [ye'i'el] hassofer uma'aseyahu hashoter al yad-khananyahu missare hammelekh

Uzziah had an army of warriors, a battle-ready force who were mustered by Jeiel the scribe and Maasseiah the adjutant under Hananiah, one of the king’s officers.

kol mispar rashe ha'avot legibbore khayil alpayim veshesh me'ot

The clan chiefs, valiants, totaled 2,600;

ve'al-yadam khel tsava shelosh me'ot elef veshivat alafim vakhamesh me'ot ose milkhamah bekhoakh khayil lazor lammelekh al-ha'oyev

under them was the trained army of 307,500, who made war with might and power to aid the king against the enemy.

vayyakhen lahem uzziyyahu lekhol-hatsava maginnim uremakhim vekhova'im veshiryonot uqeshatot ule'avne qela'im

Uzziah provided them—the whole army—with shields and spears, and helmets and mail, and bows and slingstones.

vayya'as birushalai͏m khishevonot makhashevet khoshev lihyot al-hammigdalim ve'al-happinnot liro bakhitsim uva'avanim gedolot vayyetse shemo ad-lemerakhoq ki-hifli lehe'azer ad ki-khazaq

He made clever devices in Jerusalem, set on the towers and the corners, for shooting arrows and large stones. His fame spread far, for he was helped wonderfully, and he became strong.

ukhekhezqato gavah libbo ad-lehashkhit vayyimal ba-Adonai elohayw vayyavo el-hekhal Adonai lehaqtir al-mizbakh haqqetoret

When he was strong, he grew so arrogant he acted corruptly: he trespassed against his God by entering the Temple of GOD to offer incense on the incense altar.

vayyavo akharayw azaryahu hakkohen ve'immo kohanim la-Adonai shemonim bene-khayil

The priest Azariah, with eighty other brave priests of GOD, followed him in

vayya'amdu al-uzziyyahu hammelekh vayyomeru lo lo-lekha uzziyyahu lehaqtir la-Adonai ki lakkohanim bene-aharon hamequddashim lehaqtir tse min-hammiqdash ki ma'alta velo-lekha lekhavod me-Adonai elohim

and, confronting King Uzziah, said to him, “It is not for you, Uzziah, to offer incense to GOD, but for the Aaronite priests, who have been consecrated, to offer incense. Get out of the Sanctuary, for you have trespassed; there will be no glory in it for you from the ETERNAL God.”

vayyizaf uzziyyahu uveyado miqteret lehaqtir uvezapo im-hakkohanim vehatsara'at zarekhah vemitskho lifne hakkohanim bevet Adonai me'al lemizbakh haqqetoret

Uzziah, holding the censer and ready to burn incense, got angry; but as he got angry with the priests, leprosy broke out on his forehead in front of the priests in the House of GOD beside the incense altar.

vayyifen elayw azaryahu khohen harosh vekhol-hakkohanim vehinneh-hu metsora bemitskho vayyavhiluhu misham vegam-hu nidkhaf latset ki nigge'o Adonai

When the chief priest Azariah and all the other priests looked at him, his forehead was leprous, so they rushed him out of there; he too made haste to get out, for GOD had struck him with a plague.

vayehi uzziyyahu hammelekh metsora ad-yom moto vayyeshev bet (hkhfshvt) [hakhofshit] metsora ki nigzar mibbet Adonai veyotam beno al-bet hammelekh shofet et-am ha'arets

King Uzziah was a leper until the day of his death. He lived in isolated quarters as a leper, for he was cut off from the House of GOD—while Jotham his son was in charge of the king’s house and governed the people of the land.

veyeter divre uzziyyahu harishonim veha'akharonim katav yeshayahu ven-amots hannavi

The other events of Uzziah’s reign, early and late, were recorded by the prophet Isaiah son of Amoz.

vayyishkav uzziyyahu im-avotayw vayyiqberu oto im-avotayw bisdeh haqqevurah asher lammelakhim ki ameru metsora hu vayyimlokh yotam beno takhtayw

Uzziah rested with his ancestors in the burial field of the kings, because, they said, he was a leper; his son Jotham succeeded him as king.
