Ozias reigneth prosperously, till he invadeth the priests’ office, upon which he is struck with a leprosy.

1And all the people of Juda took his son Ozias, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in the room of Amasias his father.E tutto il popol di Giuda dichiarò re in sua vece Ozia suo figliuolo in età di sedici anni.AND al the people of Iuda made his sonne Ozias sixtene yeares old, king for Amasias his father.Omnis autem populus Juda filium ejus Oziam, annorum sedecim, constituit regem pro Amasia patre suo. 2He built Ailath, and restored it to the dominion of Juda, after that the king slept with his fathers.Egli edificò Ailath, e la rimise sotto l'impero di Giuda, dopo che il re si fu addormentato co' padri suoi.He built Ailath, and restored it to the dominion of Iuda, after that the king slept with his fathers.Ipse ædificavit Ailath, et restituit eam ditioni Juda, postquam dormivit rex cum patribus suis. 3Ozias was sixteen years old when he began to reign, and he reigned two and fifty years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Jechelia of Jerusalem.Sedici anni aveva Ozia quando cominciò a regnare, e cinquantadue anni regnò in Gerusalemme: sua madre si nomò Jechelia di Gerusalemme.Sixtene yeares old was Ozias when he began to reigne, and he reigned two and fiftie yeares in Ierusalem, the name of his mother was Iechelia of Ierusalem.Sedecim annorum erat Ozias cum regnare cœpisset, et quinquaginta duobus annis regnavit in Jerusalem: nomen matris ejus Jechelia de Jerusalem. 4And he did that which was right in the eyes of the Lord, according to all that Amasias his father had done.E fece quello, che era giusto negli occhi del Signore, e imitò in tutto Amasia suo padre.And he did that which was right in the eies of our Lord, according to al thinges, which Amasias his father had done.Fecitque quod erat rectum in oculis Domini, juxta omnia quæ fecerat Amasias pater ejus. 5And he sought the Lord in the days of Zacharias that understood and saw God: and as long as he sought the Lord, he directed him in all things.E cercò sollecitamente il Signore, mentre visse Zacharia, uomo prudente, e profeta del Signore: e il Signore, cui egli cercava, lo stradò bene in tutte le cose.And he sought our Lord in the daies of Zacharias that vnderstood and saw God: and when he sought our Lord, he directed him in al thinges.Et exquisivit Dominum in diebus Zachariæ intelligentis et videntis Deum: cumque requireret Dominum, direxit eum in omnibus. 6Moreover he went forth and fought against the Philistines, and broke down the wall of Geth, and the wall of Jabnia, and the wall of Azotus: and he built towns in Azotus, and among the Philistines.Finalmente egli si mosse, e venne a battaglia contro i Filistei, e distrusse le mura di Geth, e le mura di Jabnia, e le mura di Azoto: e fabbricò ancora dei castelli in Azoto, e nel paese de' Filistei.Moreouer he went forth, and fought against the Philisthijms, and destroyed the wal of Geth, and the wal of Iabinia, and the wal of Azotus: he built also townes in Azotus, and among the Philisthijms.Denique egressus est, et pugnavit contra Philisthiim, et destruxit murum Geth, et murum Jabniæ, murumque Azoti: ædificavit quoque oppida in Azoto et in Philisthiim.

7And God helped him against the Philistines, and against the Arabians, that dwelt in Gurbaal, and against the Ammonites.E il Signore gli diede aiuto contro i Filistei, e contro gli Arabi abitanti in Gurbaal, e contro gli Ammoniti.And God did helpe him against the Philisthijms, and against the Arabians, that dwelt in Garbaal, and against the Ammonites.Et adjuvit eum Deus contra Philisthiim, et contra Arabes qui habitabant in Gurbaal, et contra Ammonitas. 8And the Ammonites gave gifts to Ozias: and his name was spread abroad even to the entrance of Egypt for his frequent victories.E gli Ammoniti presentavano a lui dei doni: e la fama di lui si sparse fino all'ingresso dell'Egitto, per ragione delle frequenti vittorie.And the Ammonites gaue giftes to Ozias: and his name was renowmed vnto the entrance of Aegypt for his often victories.Appendebantque Ammonitæ munera Oziæ: et divulgatum est nomen ejus usque ad introitum Ægypti propter crebras victorias. 9And Ozias built towers in Jerusalem over the gate of the corner, and over the gate of the valley, and the rest, in the same side of the wall, and fortified them.E Ozia fabbricò in Gerusalemme delle torri sopra la porta dell'angolo, e sopra la porta della valle, e le altre nello stesso lato della muraglia, e le fortificò.And Ozias built towers in Ierusalem ouer the gate of the corner, and ouer the gate of the valley, and the rest, in the same side of the wal, and strengthened them.Ædificavitque Ozias turres in Jerusalem super portam anguli, et super portam vallis, et reliquas in eodem muri latere, firmavitque eas. 10And he built towers in the wilderness, and dug many cisterns, for he had much cattle both in the plains, and in the waste of the desert: he had also vineyards and dressers of vines in the mountains, and in Carmel: for he was a man that loved husbandry.Fabbricò ancora delle torri nel deserto, e scavò moltissime cisterne, perchè avea molti bestiami tanto nelle campagne, come nel vasto deserto: egli ebbe anche delle vigne, e de' vignaiuoli sui monti, e sul Carmelo: perocché era un uomo molto intento all'agricoltura.He built towers also in the wildernesse, and digged manie cesternes, because he had much cattel as wel in the champaine, as in the vastitie of the desert: he had also vineyardes & dressers of vines in the mountaynes, and in Carmel: for he was a man geuen to husbandrie.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.

11And the army of his fighting men, that went out to war, was under the hand of Jehiel the scribe, and Maasias the doctor, and under the hand of Henanias, who was one of the king’s captains.E dell'esercito de' suoi combattenti, che andavano alla guerra, ne aveano il comando Jehiel segretario, e Maasia dottore (della legge), e Hanania uno dei capitani del re.And the host of his warriers, which went forth to battels, was vnder the band of Iehiel the scribe, & Maasias the doctor, and vnder the hand of Hananias, who was of the kinges dukes.Fuit autem exercitus bellatorum ejus, qui procedebant ad prælia sub manu Jehiel scribæ, Maasiæque doctoris, et sub manu Hananiæ, qui erat de ducibus regis. 12And the whole number of the chiefs by the families of valiant men were two thousand six hundred.E tutto il numero dei principi delle famiglie, uomini di valore, era di duemila seicento.And al the number of the princes by families of valiant men, was two thousand six hundred.Omnisque numerus principum per familias, virorum fortium duorum millium sexcentorum. 13And the whole army under them three hundred and seven thousand five hundred: who were fit for war, and fought for the king against the enemy.E sotto di essi tutto l'esercito di gente atta al mestiere delle armi, e la quale combatteva contro i nemici del re, era di trecento sette mila cinquecento.And vnder them al the host of three hundred & seuen thousand fiue hundred: which were apt to battels, and fought for the king against the aduersariesEt sub eis universus exercitus trecentorum et septem millium quingentorum, qui erant apti ad bella, et pro rege contra adversarios dimicabant. 14And Ozias prepared for them, that is, for the whole army, shields, and spears, and helmets, and coats of mail, and bows, and slings to cast stones.E per tutto questo esercito Ozia preparò scudi, e picche, e cimieri, e corazze, e archi, e timide da scagliar sassi.Ozias also prepared for them, that is to say, for al the armie, shildes, and speares, and helmettes, and coates of mayle, and bowes, and slinges to cast stones.Præparavit quoque eis Ozias, id est, cuncto exercitui, clypeos, et hastas, et galeas, et loricas, arcusque et fundas ad jaciendos lapides. 15And he made in Jerusalem engines of diverse kinds, which he placed in the towers, and in the corners of the walls, to shoot arrows, and great stones: and his name went forth far abroad, for the Lord helped him, and had strengthened him.E fece in Gerusalemme delle macchine di varie specie, le quali egli collocò sulle torri, e agli angoli delle mura, colle quali si scagliavano saette, e grandi pietre: e si sparse in lontane parti la sua fama, perché il Signore lo assisteva, ei gli dava vigore.And he made in Ierusalem engines of diuerse kind, which he placed in the towers, and in the corners of the walles, to shoote arrowes, and great stones: and his name went forth farre, for that our Lord did ayde him, and had strengthned him.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.

16But when he was made strong, his heart was lifted up to his destruction, and he neglected the Lord his God: and going into the temple of the Lord, he had a mind to burn incense upon the altar of incense.Ma Quando egli fu diventato potente, si elevò il suo cuore per sua rovina, e non fece più conto del Signore Dio suo: ed entrato nel tempio del Signore, volle abbruciare l'incenso sopra l'altare de' timiami.But when he was strengthned, his hart was eleuated to his destruction, and he neglected our Lord his God: and entering into the temple of our Lord: he would burne incense vpon the altar of incense.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. 17And immediately Azarias the priest going in after him, and with him fourscore priests of the Lord, most valiant men,Ed essendo sopraggiunto a lui Azaria sommo Sacerdote, e con esso ottanta sacerdoti del Signore, uomini di gran petto,And incontinent Azarias the Priest going in after him, & with him the Priestes of our Lord eightie, most valiant men,Statimque ingressus post eum Azarias sacerdos, et cum eo sacerdotes Domini octoginta, viri fortissimi, 18Withstood the king and said: It doth not belong to thee, Ozias, to burn incense to the Lord, but to the priests, that is, to the sons of Aaron, who are consecrated for this ministry: go out of the sanctuary, do not despise: for this thing shall not be accounted to thy glory by the Lord God.Si opposero al re, e gli dissero: Non si appartiene a te, o Ozia, di bruciare l'incenso al Signore; ma si ai sacerdoti, viene a dire, ai figliuoli di Aaronne, i quali sono stati consagrati per tal ministero. Esci dal Santuario; non fartene beffe: perocché questo non sarà di gloria per te dinanzi al Signore Dio.they resisted the king, and sayd: It is not thy office Ozias, to burne incense to our Lord, but of the Priestes, that is, of the children of Aaron, which are consecrated to this kind of ministerie: goe out of the Sanctuarie, contemne not: because this thing shal not be reputed to thee for glorie of our Lord God.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. 19And Ozias was angry, and holding in his hand the censer to burn incense, threatened the priests. And presently there rose a leprosy in his forehead before the priests, in the house of the Lord at the altar of incense.Ma Ozia sdegnato, tenendo in mano il turibolo per offrire l'incenso, facea minacce ai sacerdoti. E subitamente spuntò sulla fronte di lui la lebbra in presenza de' sacerdoti nella casa del Signore presso l'altare de' timiami.And Ozias being angrie, and holding in his hand the censar to burne incense, threatned the Priestes. And forthwith there rose a leprosie in his forehead before the Priestes, in the house of our Lord vpon the altar of incense.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.

20And Azarias the high priest, and all the rest of the priests looked upon him, and saw the leprosy in his forehead, and they made haste to thrust him out. Yea himself also being frightened, hasted to go out, because he had quickly felt the stroke of the Lord.E avendolo mirato Azaria Pontefice, e tutti gli altri sacerdoti, videro sulla fronte di lui la lebbra, e lo fecero uscire in fretta. E sbigottito egli stesso affrettò il passo per andarsene, perchè avea repentinamente sentita la piaga mandatagli dal Signore.And when Azarias the high Priest had beheld him, and al the rest of the Priestes, they saw the leprosie in his forehead, and in hast they thrust him out. Yea and him self being sore afrayd, made hast to goe out, because he felt by and by the plague of our Lord.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. 21And Ozias the king was a leper unto the day of his death, and he dwelt in a house apart being full of the leprosy, for which he had been cast out of the house of the Lord. And Joatham his son governed the king’s house, and judged the people of the land.Fu adunque Ozia lebbroso sino alla sua morte; e abitò in una casa appartata, essendo pieno di lebbra, per ragion della quale era stato cacciato dalla casa del Signore. E Joatham suo figliuolo governò la casa reale, e rende va giustizia al popolo.Ozias therfore the king was a leper vntil the day of his death, and he dwelt in a house apart ful of the leprosie, for the which he had bene cast out of the house of our Lord. Moreouer Ioathan his sonne gouerned the kinges house, and iudged the people of the land.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. 22But the rest of the acts of Ozias first and last were written by Isaias the son of Amos, the prophet.Il rimanente poi delle geste di Ozia, le prime, e le ultime le scrisse Isaia figliuolo di Amos, profeta.But the rest of the wordes of Ozias the first and the last wrote Isaias the sonne of Amos, the prophet.Reliqua autem sermonum Oziæ priorum et novissimorum scripsit Isaias filius Amos propheta. 23And Ozias slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the field of the royal sepulchres, because he was a leper: and Joatham his son reigned in his stead.E Ozia si addormentò co' padri suoi, e fu sepolto nel campo dei sepolcri reali, perchè era lebbroso: e gli succedette nel regno Joatham suo figliuolo.And Ozias slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the kings sepulchres field, because he was a leper: and Ioathan his sonne reigned for him.Dormivitque Ozias cum patribus suis, et sepelierunt eum in agro regalium sepulchrorum, eo quod esset leprosus: regnavitque Joatham filius ejus pro eo.
