And his name8034 spread3318 far abroad;5704 4480 7350 for3588 he was marvelously6381 helped,5826 till5704 3588 he was strong.2388 16 But when he was strong,2394 his heart3820 was lifted up1361 to5704 his destruction:7843 for he transgressed4603 against the LORD3068 his God,430 and went935 into413 the temple1964 of the LORD3068 to burn incense6999 upon5921 the altar4196 of incense.7004 17 And Azariah5838 the priest3548 went in935 after310 him, and with5973 him fourscore8084 priests3548 of the LORD,3068 that were valiant men:1121 2428 18 And they withstood5975 5921 Uzziah5818 the king,4428 and said559 unto him, It appertaineth not3808 unto thee, Uzziah,5818 to burn incense6999 unto the LORD,3068 but3588 to the priests3548 the sons1121 of Aaron,175 that are consecrated6942 to burn incense:6999 go out3318 of4480 the sanctuary;4720 for3588 thou hast trespassed;4603 neither3808 shall it be for thine honor3519 from the LORD4480 3068 God.430 19 Then Uzziah5818 was wroth,2196 and had a censer4730 in his hand3027 to burn incense:6999 and while he was wroth2196 with5973 the priests,3548 the leprosy6883 even rose up2224 in his forehead4696 before6440 the priests3548 in the house1004 of the LORD,3068 from beside4480 5921 the incense7004 altar.4196 20 And Azariah5838 the chief7218 priest,3548 and all3605 the priests,3548 looked6437 upon413 him, and, behold,2009 he1931 was leprous6879 in his forehead,4696 and they thrust him out926 from thence;4480 8033 yea, himself1931 hasted1765 also1571 to go out,3318 because3588 the LORD3068 had smitten5060 him. 21 And Uzziah5818 the king4428 was1961 a leper6879 unto5704 the day3117 of his death,4194 and dwelt3427 in a several2669 house,1004 being a leper;6879 for3588 he was cut off1504 from the house4480 1004 of the LORD:3068 and Jotham3147 his son1121 was over5921 the king's4428 house,1004 judging8199 853 the people5971 of the land.776 22 Now the rest3499 of the acts1697 of Uzziah,5818 first7223 and last,314 did Isaiah3470 the prophet,5030 the son1121 of Amoz,531 write.3789 23 So Uzziah5818 slept7901 with5973 his fathers,1 and they buried6912 him with5973 his fathers1 in the field7704 of the burial6900 which834 belonged to the kings;4428 for3588 they said,559 He1931 is a leper:6879 and Jotham3147 his son1121 reigned4427 in his stead.8478 |

1 Omnis autem populus Juda filium ejus Oziam, annorum sedecim, constituit regem pro Amasia patre suo. 2 Ipse ædificavit Ailath, et restituit eam ditioni Juda, postquam dormivit rex cum patribus suis. 3 Sedecim annorum erat Ozias cum regnare cœpisset, et quinquaginta duobus annis regnavit in Jerusalem: nomen matris ejus Jechelia de Jerusalem. 4 Fecitque quod erat rectum in oculis Domini, juxta omnia quæ fecerat Amasias pater ejus. 5 Et exquisivit Dominum in diebus Zachariæ intelligentis et videntis Deum: cumque requireret Dominum, direxit eum in omnibus. 6 Denique egressus est, et pugnavit contra Philisthiim, et destruxit murum Geth, et murum Jabniæ, murumque Azoti: ædificavit quoque oppida in Azoto et in Philisthiim. 7 Et adjuvit eum Deus contra Philisthiim, et contra Arabes qui habitabant in Gurbaal, et contra Ammonitas. 8 Appendebantque Ammonitæ munera Oziæ: et divulgatum est nomen ejus usque ad introitum Ægypti propter crebras victorias. 9 Ædificavitque Ozias turres in Jerusalem super portam anguli, et super portam vallis, et reliquas in eodem muri latere, firmavitque eas. 10 Exstruxit 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 Fuit autem exercitus bellatorum ejus, qui procedebant ad prælia sub manu Jehiel scribæ, Maasiæque doctoris, et sub manu Hananiæ, qui erat de ducibus regis. 12 Omnisque numerus principum per familias, virorum fortium duorum millium sexcentorum. 13 Et sub eis universus exercitus trecentorum et septem millium quingentorum, qui erant apti ad bella, et pro rege contra adversarios dimicabant. 14 Præparavit quoque eis Ozias, id est, cuncto exercitui, clypeos, et hastas, et galeas, et loricas, arcusque et fundas ad jaciendos lapides. 15 Et fecit in Jerusalem diversi generis machinas, quas in turribus collocavit et in angulis murorum, ut mitterent sagittas, et saxa grandia: egressumque est nomen ejus procul, eo quod auxiliaretur ei Dominus, et corroborasset illum. 16 Sed cum roboratus esset, elevatum est cor ejus in interitum suum, et neglexit Dominum Deum suum: ingressusque templum Domini, adolere voluit incensum super altare thymiamatis. 17 Statimque ingressus post eum Azarias sacerdos, et cum eo sacerdotes Domini octoginta, viri fortissimi, 18 restiterunt regi, atque dixerunt: Non est tui officii, Ozia, ut adoleas incensum Domino, sed sacerdotum, hoc est, filiorum Aaron, qui consecrati sunt ad hujuscemodi ministerium: egredere de sanctuario, ne contempseris: quia non reputabitur tibi in gloriam hoc a Domino Deo. 19 Iratusque Ozias, tenens in manu thuribulum ut adoleret incensum, minabatur sacerdotibus. Statimque orta est lepra in fronte ejus coram sacerdotibus, in domo Domini super altare thymiamatis. 20 Cumque respexisset eum Azarias pontifex, et omnes reliqui sacerdotes, viderunt lepram in fronte ejus, et festinato expulerunt eum. Sed et ipse perterritus, acceleravit egredi, eo quod sensisset illico plagam Domini. 21 Fuit igitur Ozias rex leprosus usque ad diem mortis suæ, et habitavit in domo separata plenus lepra, ob quam ejectus fuerat de domo Domini. Porro Joatham filius ejus rexit domum regis, et judicabat populum terræ. 22 Reliqua autem sermonum Oziæ priorum et novissimorum scripsit Isaias filius Amos propheta. 23 Dormivitque Ozias cum patribus suis, et sepelierunt eum in agro regalium sepulchrorum, eo quod esset leprosus: regnavitque Joatham filius ejus pro eo. |
