4 Hizo lo recto ante el Señor, como lo había hecho su padre Amasías.
4 He did that which was right in Yahweh’s eyes, according to all that his father Amaziah had done.
5 Buscó a Dios durante la vida de Zacarías, que enseñaba a temer a Dios. Mientras Uzías fue fiel al Señor, Dios hizo que le fuera bien.
5 He set himself to seek God in the days of Zechariah, who had understanding in the vision of God; and as long as he sought Yahweh, God made him prosper.
6 Luchó contra los filisteos y derribó las murallas de Gat, Jabnia y Asdod. Construyó ciudades alrededor de Asdod y entre los filisteos.
6 He went out and fought against the Philistines, and broke down the wall of Gath, the wall of Jabneh, and the wall of Ashdod; and he built cities in the country of Ashdod, and among the Philistines.

7 God helped him against the Philistines, and against the Arabians who lived in Gur Baal, and the Meunim.
8 Los amonitas llevaban regalos a Uzías. Su fama llegó hasta la frontera de Egipto, porque se hizo muy poderoso.
8 The Ammonites gave tribute to Uzziah. His name spread abroad even to the entrance of Egypt, for he grew exceedingly strong.
9 Uzías construyó torres en Jerusalén, en la puerta de la Esquina, en la puerta del Valle y en el ángulo de la muralla, y las fortificó.
9 Moreover Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem at the corner gate, at the valley gate, and at the turning of the wall, and fortified them.
10 También construyó torres en el desierto y depósitos para almacenar agua, porque tenía mucho ganado en las colinas bajas y en la meseta. Tenía agricultores y trabajadores de viñedos en las montañas y en las tierras fértiles, pues le gustaba la agricultura.
10 He built towers in the wilderness, and dug out many cisterns, for he had much livestock, both in the lowlands and in the plains. He had farmers and vineyard keepers in the mountains and in the fruitful fields, for he loved farming.
11 Uzías tenía un ejército que salía a la guerra por divisiones, según las listas preparadas por el secretario Jehiel y el funcionario Maasías. Estaban bajo la autoridad de Hananías, uno de los jefes del rey.
11 Moreover Uzziah had an army of fighting men who went out to war by bands, according to the number of their reckoning made by Jeiel the scribe and Maaseiah the officer, under the hand of Hananiah, one of the king’s captains.
12 Los jefes de las familias, guerreros valientes, eran dos mil seiscientos.
12 The whole number of the heads of fathers’ households, even the mighty men of valor, was two thousand six hundred.
13 Bajo sus órdenes había un ejército de trescientos siete mil quinientos hombres preparados para la guerra. Luchaban con gran fuerza para ayudar al rey contra sus enemigos.
13 Under their hand was an army, three hundred seven thousand five hundred, who made war with mighty power, to help the king against the enemy.
14 Uzías equipó a todo el ejército con escudos, lanzas, cascos, armaduras, arcos y piedras para las hondas.
14 Uzziah prepared for them, even for all the army, shields, spears, helmets, coats of mail, bows, and stones for slinging.
15 En Jerusalén construyó máquinas diseñadas por expertos para lanzar flechas y piedras grandes desde las torres y los ángulos de las murallas. Su fama se extendió por todas partes, porque recibió una ayuda extraordinaria hasta hacerse fuerte.
15 In Jerusalem, he made devices, invented by skillful men, to be on the towers and on the battlements, with which to shoot arrows and great stones. His name spread far abroad, because he was marvelously helped until he was strong.
16 Pero al hacerse fuerte se llenó de orgullo, y eso causó su destrucción. Fue infiel al Señor su Dios: entró en el templo del Señor para quemar incienso en el altar del incienso.
16 But when he was strong, his heart was lifted up, so that he did corruptly and he trespassed against Yahweh his God, for he went into Yahweh’s temple to burn incense on the altar of incense.
17 El sacerdote Azarías entró detrás de él, acompañado de ochenta sacerdotes valientes del Señor.
17 Azariah the priest went in after him, and with him eighty priests of Yahweh, who were valiant men.
18 Se enfrentaron al rey Uzías y le dijeron: «Uzías, no te corresponde quemar incienso. Eso les corresponde a los sacerdotes, descendientes de Aarón, que han sido consagrados para esta tarea. Sal del santuario, porque has pecado. Esto no te dará honor ante Dios».
18 They resisted Uzziah the king, and said to him, “It isn’t for you, Uzziah, to burn incense to Yahweh, but for the priests the sons of Aaron, who are consecrated to burn incense. Go out of the sanctuary, for you have trespassed. It will not be for your honor from Yahweh God.”
19 Uzías se enojó. Tenía en la mano un recipiente para quemar incienso. Mientras se enfurecía contra los sacerdotes, le apareció en la frente una señal de una enfermedad grave de la piel. Sucedió ante los sacerdotes, en el templo del Señor, junto al altar del incienso.
19 Then Uzziah was angry. He had a censer in his hand to burn incense, and while he was angry with the priests, the leprosy broke out on his forehead before the priests in Yahweh’s house, beside the altar of incense.
20 El sumo sacerdote Azarías y los demás sacerdotes vieron la señal en su frente y lo sacaron enseguida. Él mismo se apresuró a salir, porque el Señor lo había castigado.
20 Azariah the chief priest and all the priests looked at him, and behold, he was leprous in his forehead; and they thrust him out quickly from there. Indeed, he himself also hurried to go out, because Yahweh had struck him.
21 El rey Uzías tuvo esa enfermedad de la piel hasta el día de su muerte. Vivía apartado, en una casa propia, porque no podía entrar en el templo de Dios. Su hijo Jotam estaba a cargo del palacio y gobernaba al pueblo del país.
21 Uzziah the king was a leper to the day of his death, and lived in a separate house, being a leper; for he was cut off from Yahweh’s house. Jotham his son was over the king’s house, judging the people of the land.
22 Los demás hechos de Uzías, desde el principio hasta el fin, fueron escritos por el profeta Isaías, hijo de Amoz.
22 Now the rest of the acts of Uzziah, first and last, Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, wrote.
23 Uzías murió y lo sepultaron en el campo del cementerio de los reyes, porque dijeron: «Tiene una enfermedad grave de la piel». Su hijo Jotam reinó en su lugar.
23 So Uzziah slept with his fathers; and they buried him with his fathers in the field of burial which belonged to the kings, for they said, “He is a leper.” Jotham his son reigned in his place.
