Notes on this text (2)
- The Old Testament is translated from the Hebrew, not from the Septuagint read in the Orthodox Church; there are no deuterocanonical books.
- Katharevousa (learned 19th-century Greek), as in the CrossWire module (text from theword.gr).
1 Έλαβε δε πας ο λαός του Ιούδα τον Οζίαν, όντα ηλικίας δεκαέξ ετών, και έκαμον αυτόν βασιλέα αντί του πατρός αυτού Αμασίου.
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 Ούτος ωκοδόμησε την Αιλώθ και επέστρεψεν αυτήν εις τον Ιούδαν, αφού ο βασιλεύς εκοιμήθη μετά των πατέρων αυτού.
2 He built Eloth and restored it to Judah. After that the king slept with his fathers.
3 Δεκαέξ ετών ηλικίας ήτο ο Οζίας ότε εβασίλευσε, και εβασίλευσε πεντήκοντα δύο έτη εν Ιερουσαλήμ· το δε όνομα της μητρός αυτού ήτο Ιεχολία εξ Ιερουσαλήμ.
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 Και έπραξε το ευθές ενώπιον Κυρίου, κατά πάντα όσα έπραξεν Αμασίας ο πατήρ αυτού.
4 He did that which was right in Yahweh’s eyes, according to all that his father Amaziah had done.
5 Και εξεζήτει τον Θεόν εν ταις ημέραις του Ζαχαρίου, του νοήμονος εις τας οράσεις του Θεού· και όσον καιρόν εξεζήτει τον Κύριον, ευώδονεν αυτόν ο Θεός.
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 Και εξήλθε και επολέμησεν εναντίον των Φιλισταίων, και εκρήμνισε το τείχος της Γαθ και το τείχος της Ιαβνή και το τείχος της Αζώτου και ωκοδόμησε πόλεις εν Αζώτω και εν Φιλισταίοις.
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 Και εβοήθησεν αυτόν ο Θεός εναντίον των Φιλισταίων και εναντίον των Αράβων των κατοικούντων εν Γούρ-βαάλ, και των Μεουνείμ.
7 God helped him against the Philistines, and against the Arabians who lived in Gur Baal, and the Meunim.
8 Και έδωκαν οι Αμμωνίται δώρα εις τον Οζίαν· και διεδόθη το όνομα αυτού έως της εισόδου της Αιγύπτου· διότι εκραταιώθη εις άκρον.
8 The Ammonites gave tribute to Uzziah. His name spread abroad even to the entrance of Egypt, for he grew exceedingly strong.
9 Και ωκοδόμησεν ο Οζίας πύργους εν Ιερουσαλήμ, επί της πύλης της γωνίας και επί της πύλης της φάραγγος και επί των γωνιών, και ωχύρωσεν αυτούς.
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 Ωικοδόμησεν έτι πύργους εν τη ερήμω και ήνοιξε πολλά φρέατα· διότι είχε κτήνη πολλά και εν τοις χαμηλοίς τόποις και εν ταις πεδιάσι και γεωργούς και αμπελουργούς εν τη ορεινή και εν τω Καρμήλω· διότι ηγάπα την γεωργίαν.
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 Και είχεν ο Οζίας στράτευμα πολεμιστών, εξερχομένων εις πόλεμον κατά τάγματα, κατά τον αριθμόν της απαριθμήσεως αυτών γενομένης υπό Ιεϊήλ του γραμματέως και Μαασία του επιστάτου, υπό την οδηγίαν του Ανανίου, ενός των στρατηγών του βασιλέως.
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 Πας ο αριθμός των αρχηγών των πατριών των δυνατών εν ισχύϊ ήτο δύο χιλιάδες εξακόσιοι.
12 The whole number of the heads of fathers’ households, even the mighty men of valor, was two thousand six hundred.
13 Και υπό την οδηγίαν αυτών ήτο δύναμις πολεμική, τριακόσιαι επτά χιλιάδες και πεντακόσιοι, δυνατοί και ανδρείοι εις τον πόλεμον, διά να βοηθώσι τον βασιλέα εναντίον των εχθρών.
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 Και ητοίμασεν εις αυτούς ο Οζίας, εις άπαν το στράτευμα, θυρεούς και λόγχας και περικεφαλαίας και θώρακας και τόξα και σφενδόνας διά λίθους.
14 Uzziah prepared for them, even for all the army, shields, spears, helmets, coats of mail, bows, and stones for slinging.
15 Και έκαμεν εν Ιερουσαλήμ μηχανάς, εφευρημένας υπό μηχανικών, διά να ήναι επί των πύργων και επί των γωνιών, ώστε να ρίπτωσι δι' αυτών βέλη και λίθους μεγάλους· και εξήλθε το όνομα αυτού μακράν· διότι εβοηθείτο θαυμασίως, εωσού εκραταιώθη.
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 Αλλ' αφού εκραταιώθη, επήρθη η καρδία αυτού εις διαφθοράν· και ησέβησεν εις Κύριον τον Θεόν αυτού και εισήλθεν εις τον ναόν του Κυρίου διά να θυμιάση επί το θυσιαστήριον του θυμιάματος.
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 Και Αζαρίας ο ιερεύς εισήλθε κατόπιν αυτού, και μετ' αυτού ογδοήκοντα ιερείς του Κυρίου, άνδρες δυνατοί·
17 Azariah the priest went in after him, and with him eighty priests of Yahweh, who were valiant men.
18 και αντέστησαν εις τον Οζίαν τον βασιλέα και είπον προς αυτόν, Δεν ανήκει εις σε, Οζία, να θυμιάσης εις τον Κύριον, αλλ' εις τους ιερείς τους υιούς του Ααρών, τους καθιερωμένους να θυμιάζωσιν· έξελθε εκ του αγιαστηρίου· διότι ησέβησας· και τούτο δεν θέλει είσθαι προς δόξαν εις σε παρά Κυρίου του Θεού.
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 Ο δε Οζίας, έχων εν τη χειρί αυτού θυμιατήριον διά να θυμιάση, εθυμώθη· και ενώ εθυμώθη προς τους ιερείς, ανέτειλεν η λέπρα εν τω μετώπω αυτού έμπροσθεν των ιερέων εν τω οίκω του Κυρίου, πλησίον του θυσιαστηρίου του θυμιάματος.
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 Και ανέβλεψεν εις αυτόν Αζαρίας ο ιερεύς ο πρώτος και πάντες οι ιερείς, και ιδού, ήτο λεπρός κατά το μέτωπον αυτού· και έσπευσαν να εκβάλωσιν αυτόν εκείθεν· και αυτός μάλιστα έσπευσε να εξέλθη, διότι επάταξεν αυτόν ο Κύριος.
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 Και ήτο ο Οζίας ο βασιλεύς λεπρός έως της ημέρας του θανάτου αυτού· και κατώκει εν οίκω κεχωρισμένω λεπρός· διότι απεκόπη από του οίκου του Κυρίου· ήτο δε επί του οίκου του βασιλέως Ιωθάμ ο υιός αυτού, κρίνων τον λαόν της γης.
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 Αι δε λοιπαί πράξεις του Οζίου, αι πρώται και αι έσχαται, εγράφησαν υπό Ησαΐου του προφήτου υιού του Αμώς.
22 Now the rest of the acts of Uzziah, first and last, Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, wrote.
23 Και εκοιμήθη ο Οζίας μετά των πατέρων αυτού, και έθαψαν αυτόν μετά των πατέρων αυτού εν τω πεδίω της ταφής των βασιλέων· διότι είπον, Είναι λεπρός. Και εβασίλευσεν αντ' αυτού Ιωθάμ ο υιός αυτού.
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.
