2 Dungkrhoekhaih 26
1 To naah Judah kaminawk boih mah, saning hatlai tarukto kaom, Uzziah to lak o moe, ampa Amaziah zuengah siangpahrang ah suek o.
After King Amaziah died, all the people of Judah appointed his son Uzziah, who then was 16 years old, as their king. [One of the things that happened] while he was the king [was that] his men captured Elath [town on the Gulf of Aqaba] and rebuilt it.
2 Amaziah ampanawk khaeah anghak pacoengah, anih mah Elath vangpui to sak moe, Judah prae thungah suek let.
3 Uzziah siangpahrang ah oh amtong naah saning hatlai tarukto oh boeh; anih mah Jerusalem to saning quipanga, hnetto thung uk; amno loe Jerusalem kami, Jekoliah, tiah kawk o.
Uzziah ruled in Jerusalem for 52 years. His mother was Jecoliah; she was from Jerusalem.
4 Ampa Amaziah mah sak ih hmuennawk baktih toengah, anih mah doeh Angraeng mikhnukah katoeng hmuen to sak.
Uzziah did things that Yahweh considered to be good, like his father Amaziah had done.
5 Sithaw hnuksakhaih panoek Zekariah hing nathung, Uzziah mah Sithaw to pakrong; anih mah Sithaw pakrong nathung, Sithaw mah khosak hoihaih to paek.
He tried to please God while [the priest] Zechariah was living, because Zechariah taught him to revere God. As long as Uzziah tried to please God, God enabled him to be successful.
6 Anih loe Philistin misatuk hanah caeh moe, Gath, Jabneh hoi Ashdod ih sipaenawk to a phraek; Ashdod vangpui taeng hoi Philistin kaminawk ohhaih ahmuen kruekah vangpui to a sak.
Uzziah and his army started to fight against the army of Philistia. They tore down the walls of Gath, Jabneh, and Ashdod [cities]. Then they rebuilt the towns near Ashdod and in other places in Philistia.
7 Gur-Baal ah kaom Philistin hoi Arab kaminawk tuk naah, Angraeng mah anih to abomh baktih toengah, Mehunim kaminawk tuk naah doeh abomh.
God helped them to fight the army of Philistia and the Arabs who lived in [the town of] Gur-Baal and the descendants of Meun who had come to that area from Edom.
8 Amon kaminawk mah Uzziah hanah tangqum sin pae o; anih loe paroeai lensawk, Izip ramri khoek to anih ih ahmin amthang.
Even the Ammon [people-group] paid taxes to Uzziah each year. So Uzziah became famous as far as the border of Egypt, because he had become very powerful.
9 Uzziah loe Jerusalem vangpui takii ih khongkha, azawn ih khongkha hoi sipae angkoihaih ahmuen ah imsang to sak moe, sipae hoiah a pakaa.
Uzziah’s [workers] built watchtowers in Jerusalem at the Corner Gate, at the Valley Gate, and at the place where the wall turns, and they placed weapons in them.
10 Praezaek ah doeh imsang to a sak; maitaw a tawnh mang pongah, azawn ah doeh tangtling ahmuen ah doeh, tui khaw to takaeh; anih loe toksak koeh kami ah oh pongah, mae ih ahmuen hoi long kahoih ahmuen ah lawkphrawk kami hoi misurthaih pakhrik kaminawk to a suek.
They also built watchtowers in the desert and dug many wells. They did that [to provide water] for a lot of the king’s cattle that were in the foothills and in the plains. Uzziah liked farming, so he also stationed workers [to take care of] his fields and vineyards in the hills and in the fertile areas.
11 Ca tarikkung Jeiel, ukkung Maaseaiah hoi siangpahrang ih misatuh angraeng Hananiah mah sak ih cazin baktih toengah, Uzziah loe misatuh kop kaminawk hoi misatuk hanah amsakcoek kami abunawk doeh a tawnh.
Uzziah’s army was trained for fighting battles. They were in groups that were always ready to go into battle. Jeiel, the king’s secretary, and Maaseiah, one of the army officers, counted the men and placed them in groups. Hananiah, one of the king’s officials, was their commander.
12 Acaeng thung ih lu koek thacak misatuh thaih kaminawk loe sangqum boih ah sang hnet, cumvai tarukto oh o.
There were 2,600 leaders of those groups of soldiers.
13 Nihcae zaehhoihhaih tlim ah misatuh sang cumvai thum, sang sarih, cumvai pangato oh o; nihcae loe misatuk hanah siangpahrang bomkung, thacak misatuh kami ah oh o.
In the groups that those leaders commanded there were a total of 307,500 well-trained soldiers. It was a very powerful army which was ready to help the king fight against his enemies.
14 Uzziah loe misatuh kaminawk hanah aphawnawk, tayaenawk, sum lumueknawk, sum laihawnawk, palaanawk hoi ngazainawk to sak pae.
Uzziah gave to each soldier a shield, a spear, a helmet, a vest made of iron plates, a bow [and arrows], and a slingshot.
15 Palungha kaminawk mah Jerusalem vangpui ih imsang nui hoi misa abuephaih longkhaw nuiah misa kahhaih kalii, kalen parai thlung palethaih setnawk to sak o; tha oh nathung anih to abomh o pongah, anih ih ahmin loe ahmuen kruekah amthang.
In Jerusalem his skilled workers made machines to put on the watchtowers and on the corners [of the walls], to shoot arrows and to hurl large stones. He became very famous even in distant places, because God helped him very much and enabled him to become very powerful.
16 Toe Uzziah loe thacak naah, amoek pongah krak tathuk; anih loe angmah ih Angraeng Sithaw hmaa ah zaehaih to sak; hmuihoih hmai thlaekhaih hmaicam ah hmuihoih thlaek hanah, Angraeng ih im thungah akunh.
But because Uzziah was very powerful, he became very proud, and that led to his being punished. He disobeyed what Yahweh his God had commanded. He went into the temple to burn incense on the altar [where God had said that only the priests should burn] incense.
17 Qaima Azariah loe misa kahoih Angraeng toksah qaima quitazetto hoi nawnto siangpahrang Uzziah hnukah bang moe,
Azariah the [Supreme] Priest and 80 other brave priests followed him into the temple.
18 Uzziah siangpahrang khaeah, Uzziah angraeng, nang loe Angraeng hmaa ah hmuihoih thlaek hanah nam cuk ai; hmuihoih thlaek han paek ih Aaron ih caa, qaimanawk mah ni thlaek han oh; hmuenciim hoi tacawt ah; nang loe zaehaih na sak boeh; to tiah na sak ih hmuen to Angraeng Sithaw mah doeh koeh mak ai, tiah a thuih pae o.
They rebuked him and said to him, “Uzziah, it is not right for you to burn incense to [honor] Yahweh. That duty is only for the priests, those who are descendants of Aaron [our first Supreme Priest]! You must leave [immediately], because you have disobeyed Yahweh our God, and he will not honor you [for what you have done]!”
19 To naah Uzziah loe paroeai palungphui, hmaithlaek hanah hmuihoih to ban ah a sin; Angraeng im thung ih hmuihoih thlaekhaih hmaicam taengah, qaimanawk khaeah palungphui thuih naah, qaimanawk hmaa ah ngansae to a lupataeh ah tacawt pae.
Uzziah had in his hand a pan for burning incense. He became very angry with the priests, but suddenly there was leprosy on his forehead.
20 Qaima kalen koek Azariah hoi kalah qaimanawk boih mah anih to khet o naah, Khenah, a lupataeh ah ngansae to oh; to pongah to ahmuen hoiah anih to haek o ving; Angraeng mah raihaih paek boeh pongah, angmah roe mah doeh karangah caeh ving hanah koeh boeh.
When Azariah the [Supreme] Priest and all the other priests [who were there] looked at him, they saw the leprosy on his forehead, so they quickly took him outside. And truly the king was eager to leave the temple, because he knew that it was Yahweh who had caused him to have that leprosy, [and he did not want it to become worse.]
21 Uzziah siangpahrang loe duek khoek to ngansae manh; to pongah im kalah bangah oh o sak ving; ngansae nat pongah Angraeng imthung hoiah takhoe o ving; anih zuengah a capa Jotham to siangpahrang ah oh, anih mah prae kaminawk to uk.
King Uzziah had leprosy until he died. And because he had leprosy, he lived in a house that was not near other houses, and he was not allowed to enter [the courtyard of] the temple. His son Jotham supervised the palace and ruled the people of Judah.
22 Uzziah siangpahrang ah oh nathung sak ih hmuennawk, takung hoi tadong khoek to Amoz capa tahmaa Isaiah mah cabu thungah tarik.
A record of all the other things that Uzziah did while he was the king [of Judah] was written by the prophet Isaiah, the son of Amoz.
23 Uzziah loe ampanawk khaeah anghak; anih loe kaminawk mah ngansae manh, tiah thuih o pongah, ampanawk aphumhaih taengah kaom, siangpahrangnawk ih taprong ah aphum o. Anih zuengah a capa Jotham mah prae to uk.
Because Uzziah was a leper, [when he died, ] they would not bury him in the tombs where the other kings were buried. Instead, he was buried in a nearby cemetery that the kings owned. Then his son Jotham became the king [of Judah].
