1 El pueblo de Judá proclamó rey a Uzías, que tenía dieciséis años.
1 All the people of Judah took Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in the place of his father Amaziah.
2 Uzías fue el que reconstruyó la ciudad de Elat y la devolvió a Judá.
2 He built Eloth and restored it to Judah. After that the king slept with his fathers.
3 En total, reinó cincuenta y dos años en Jerusalén. Su madre fue Jecolías, de Jerusalén.
3 Uzziah was sixteen years old when he began to reign; and he reigned fifty-two years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jechiliah, of Jerusalem.
4 Uzías siguió los pasos de su padre Amasías y, en general, fue un buen rey a los ojos del Señor.
4 He did that which was right in Yahweh’s eyes, according to all that his father Amaziah had done.
5 Mientras Zacarías vivía, Uzías siempre tuvo deseos de agradar a Dios. Zacarías era un hombre que tenía revelaciones especiales de Dios. Mientras el rey siguió los caminos de Dios, prosperó, porque Dios lo bendijo.
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 Uzías le declaró la guerra a los filisteos y derribó las murallas de Gat, Jabnia y Asdod. Edificó ciudades en la zona de Asdod y en otras partes del territorio de 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 Dios lo ayudó, no solamente en esta guerra contra los filisteos, sino también en sus batallas contra los árabes de Gur Baal y contra los amonitas.
7 God helped him against the Philistines, and against the Arabians who lived in Gur Baal, and the Meunim.
8 Los amonitas le pagaban un tributo anual, y su fama se extendió hasta Egipto, porque era 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 Edificó torres fortificadas en Jerusalén, en la puerta del Ángulo, en la puerta del Valle y en la esquina de la muralla.
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 fortalezas en el sur, e hizo muchos estanques de agua, porque tenía mucho ganado en los valles y en las llanuras. Fue un hombre que amaba la agricultura, y tuvo muchas haciendas y viñedos en las laderas y en los valles fértiles.
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 organizó su ejército en regimientos, en los cuales eran alistados hombres de acuerdo con el censo hecho por el escriba Jeyel, por su ayudante Maseías, y por Jananías 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 Estos regimientos los comandaban dos mil seiscientos jefes de clanes, y todos eran guerreros muy valientes.
12 The whole number of the heads of fathers’ households, even the mighty men of valor, was two thousand six hundred.
13 Este ejército estaba formado por trescientos siete mil quinientos guerreros fuertes y poderosos.
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 les entregó escudos, lanzas, yelmos, corazas, arcos y hondas.
14 Uzziah prepared for them, even for all the army, shields, spears, helmets, coats of mail, bows, and stones for slinging.
15 Además, les entregó máquinas de guerra construidas en Jerusalén e inventadas por hombres inteligentes. Estas máquinas fueron colocadas en las torres y en las esquinas de la muralla de Jerusalén, y servían para arrojar flechas y piedras grandes. Con la maravillosa ayuda de Dios, Uzías llegó a ser muy famoso y poderoso, de modo que su fama era conocida en todas partes.
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 cuando vio que tenía tanta fama y tanto poder, se convirtió en un hombre orgulloso. ¡Fue ese orgullo el que lo llevó a la desgracia! Tanta fue su arrogancia que un día, desobedeciendo Señor, Dios de sus antepasados, entró al templo para quemar incienso sobre el altar.
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 sumo sacerdote Azarías entró tras él con otros ochenta sacerdotes, todos hombres valientes, y le pidieron que saliera, y le dijeron: «No le corresponde a usted, rey Uzías, quemar incienso. Esta es tarea exclusiva de los sacerdotes, de los hijos de Aarón, que estén consagrados para esta obra. Salga, porque ha traspasado el mandamiento, y el Señor no lo va a honrar por esto».
17 Azariah the priest went in after him, and with him eighty priests of Yahweh, who were valiant men.
18 Not in this translation
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, lleno de ira, se negó a dejar el incensario que tenía en la mano, pero repentinamente quedó leproso.
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 Cuando Azarías y los demás lo vieron, lo sacaron de allí enseguida. Él mismo estaba muy ansioso de salir, pues 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 estuvo leproso hasta el día de su muerte, y vivió aislado, separado de su pueblo y del templo. Su hijo Jotán se puso al frente del palacio, y fue quien asumió el gobierno de Judá.
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 detalles del reinado 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 Cuando murió Uzías, fue sepultado cerca del cementerio real, debido a que murió leproso. Su hijo Jotán fue el nuevo rey.
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.
