Uzziah was sixteen when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for fifty-two years. His mother's name was Jecoliah and she came from Jerusalem.

Uzziah went to war against the Philistines, and he demolished the walls of Gath, Jabneh, and Ashdod. Then he built cities around Ashdod and in other Philistine areas.

God helped him against the Philistines, against the Arabians living in Gurbaal, and against the Meunites.

The Meunites brought gifts as tribute to Uzziah. His reputation spread as far as the border of Egypt, for he became very powerful.

Uzziah built defensive towers in Jerusalem at the Corner Gate and the Valley Gate, and at the corner, and strengthened them.

He also built towers in the desert and cut many water cisterns out of the rock, because he had a great deal of livestock in the foothills and on the plains. He had farmers and vineyard workers in the hills and in the fertile lowlands, for he loved the soil.
11 Uzziah taengah caempuei la a khuen vaengah caemtloek aka saii tatthai khaw om. Caem kah a cawhnah hlangmi bangla cadaek Jeiel Jeuel kut neh manghai mangpa lamkah Hananiah kut hmuikah rhoiboei Maaseiah kut ah a khueh.
Uzziah had an army of battle-ready soldiers, in divisions according to the numbers in the listing made by Jeiel the secretary and Maaseiah the official, under the direction of Hananiah, one of the king's commanders.
12 A napa rhoek kah boeilu hlangmi boeih he tatthai hlangrhalh thawng hnih ya rhuk lo.
The total number of family leaders was 2,600 fighting men.

Under their command was an army of 307,500 trained for battle, who had the power to help the king fight against the enemy.
14 Amih caempuei boeih ham te Uzziah loh photling, cai, lumuek, caempho, lii, payai lungto khaw a hmoel pah.
Uzziah supplied shields, spears, helmets, armor, bows, and slingstones for the whole army.

He also made skillfully designed war machines to fire arrows and large stones from the towers and corners of the wall. His reputation spread far and wide, for he received extraordinary help until he became really powerful.
16 Tedae a thadueng hnukah a poci hil a lungbuei a sang dongah a Pathen BOEIPA taengah boe a koek. Te dongah bo-ul hmueihtuk dongah phum hamla BOEIPA bawkim ah kun.
But because he was powerful he became arrogant, and this sled to his ruin. For he was unfaithful to the Lord his God, and he himself entered the Lord's Temple to burn incense on the altar of incense.
17 Anih hnukah khosoih Azariah neh a taengkah BOEIPA khosoih tatthai ca sawmrhet bang.
Azariah the priest went in after him, with eighty brave priests of the Lord.
18 Te vaengah manghai Uzziah te a pai thil uh tih amah taengah, “BOEIPA taengah aka phum ham te Uzziah nang kah moenih. Tedae a phum hamla a ciim khosoih Aaron koca kah ni. Boe na koek dongah rhokso lamloh nong laeh. Nang kah te Pathen BOEIPA kah thangpomnah ham moenih,” a ti na uh.
They stood up to him, and told him, “It's not your place to burn incense to the Lord. Only the priests, the descendants of Aaron, who have been set apart as holy may burn incense. Get out of the sanctuary, for you have sinned, and the Lord God will not bless you.”
19 Te dongah Uzziah loh a hmaital doela a kut dongah botui phum ham hmaibael a pom. Khosoih rhoek taengah khaw a hmai a tal li vaengah BOEIPA im khui, bo-ul hmueihtuk taeng kah khosoih rhoek mikhmuh ah a tal lamloh hmaibae a cuk pah.
Uzziah, who was holding a censer in his hand to offer incense, became furious. But as he raged at the priests in the Lord's Temple in front of the altar of incense, leprosy appeared on his forehead.
20 Khosoih boeilu Azariah neh khosoih boeih loh anih taengla a mael vaengah anih te a tal ah tarha pahuk coeng tih anih taengah hlawt let uh. BOEIPA loh anih te a ben dongah amah khaw khoe uh paitok coeng.
When Azariah the chief priest and all the priests looked at him and saw the leprosy on his forehead, they rushed him out. In fact he too was in a hurry to leave, because the Lord had struck him.
21 Te dongah manghai Uzziah te a dueknah hnin duela pahuk tih im hloeh ah kho a sak. A pahuk dongah BOEIPA im lamloh a hloeh la rhoe uh. Te vaengah a capa Jotham loh khohmuen pilnam te manghai im ah lai a tloek a pah.
King Uzziah was a leper until the day he died. He lived by himself as a leper, barred from entering the Lord's Temple, while his son Jotham was placed in charge or the king's affairs and governed the country.
22 Uzziah kah ol noi te a kung a dong khaw tonghma Amoz capa Isaiah loh a daek.
The rest of what Uzziah did, from beginning to end, was written down by the prophet Isaiah, son of Amoz.
23 Uzziah te a napa rhoek taengla a khoem uh vaengah tah manghai te pahuk a ti uh tih phuel hmuen kah a napa rhoek taengah a up uh. Te phoeiah a capa Jotham te anih yueng la manghai.
Uzziah died and was buried near them in a cemetery belonging to the kings, for people said, “He was a leper.” His son Jotham took over as king.
