2 Khokhuen 26
1 Judah pilnam pum loh Uzziah te a loh uh tih anih te kum hlai rhuk a lo ca vaengah a napa Amaziah yueng la a manghai sakuh.
All the people of Judah took Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in place of his father Amaziah.
2 Anih loh Elath te a sak tih manghai te a napa rhoek taengla a khoem uh hnukah tah Judah la a mael puei.
It was he who rebuilt Elath and restored it to Judah. After that the king slept with his ancestors.
3 Uzziah te kum hlai rhuk a lo ca vaengah manghai tih Jerusalem ah sawmnga kum nit manghai. A manu ming tah Jerusalem lamkah Jekoliah ni.
Uzziah was sixteen years old when he began to reign. He reigned for fifty-two years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Jekoliah; she was from Jerusalem.
4 A napa Amaziah loh a saii bang boeih la BOEIPA mikhmuh ah a thuem a saii.
He did what was right in the eyes of Yahweh, following the example of his father, Amaziah, in everything.
5 Anih te Pathen hmuh hamla aka yakming Zekhariah tue vaengah tah Pathen aka toem la om. Te dongah BOEIPA a toem khohnin vaengah tah Pathen loh anih te a thaihtak sak.
He set himself to seek God in the days of Zechariah, who taught him to honor God. As long as he sought Yahweh, God made him prosper.
6 Te phoeiah cet tih Philisti a vathoh thil tih Gath vongtung, Jabneh vongtung, Ashdod vongtung a phae. Te phoeiah Ashdod khuikah neh Philisti khuikah khopuei te a sak.
Uzziah went out and fought against the Philistines. He broke down the city walls of Gath, Jabneh, and Ashdod; he built cities in the country of Ashdod and among the Philistines.
7 Philisti taeng neh Arab taengah khaw anih te Pathen loh a bom. Arab rhoek te Gurbaal neh Mehunim ah kho a sak uh.
God helped him against the Philistines, against the Arabians who lived in Gurbaal, and against the Meunites.
8 Ammoni loh Uzziah taengla khocang a paek uh. Anih te a so la tlung hang tih Egypt khorhi duela a ming thang.
The Ammonites paid tribute to Uzziah, and his fame spread, even to the entrance of Egypt, because he was becoming more powerful.
9 Uzziah loh rhaltoengim te Jerusalem kah bangkil vongka ah khaw, kolrhawk vongka ah khaw, imki ah khaw a sak tih a moem.
In addition, Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem at the Corner Gate, at the Valley Gate, and at the turning of the wall, and fortified them.
10 Khosoek ah rhaltoengim a sak tih tuito khaw muep a vueh. Anih taengah boiva muep om tih kolrhawk ah khaw, tlangkol ah khaw, lopho neh, tlang kah dumpho neh, khohmuen aka lungnah ham cangphil cangngol neh a om pah.
He built watchtowers in the wilderness and dug many cisterns, for he had much cattle, in the lowlands as well as in the plains. He had farmers and vine growers in the hill country and in the fruitful fields, for he loved farming.
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.
In addition, Uzziah had an army of fighting men who went out to war in groups which were organized by their number that were counted by Jeiel, the scribe, and Maaseiah, the officer, under the authority 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 whole number of the leaders of the families who led the mighty men was 2,600.
13 Amih kut hmuiah caempuei tatthai thawng ya thum thawng rhih ya nga om tih thunkha taengah khaw manghai aka bom ham tatthai thadueng neh caemtloek la phaep uh.
Under their hand was an army of 307,500 men that made war with mighty power to help the king against the enemy.
14 Amih caempuei boeih ham te Uzziah loh photling, cai, lumuek, caempho, lii, payai lungto khaw a hmoel pah.
Uzziah prepared for them—for all the army—shields, spears, helmets, coats of mail, bows, and stones for slinging.
15 Rhaltoengim so neh bangkil soah aka om ham khaw, thaltang neh, lung nu neh aka kap ham khaw, aka poekkung kah kopoek neh Jerusalem ah seh a saii. Te dongah a tlung hil aka bom ham khaw khobaerhambae la om dongah a ming te khohla duela voelh thang.
In Jerusalem he built machines that were designed by skillful men to be on the towers and on the battlements to shoot arrows and large stones. His fame spread to distant lands, for he was greatly helped and so he became very 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 when Uzziah had become powerful, his heart was lifted up so that he acted corruptly; he trespassed against Yahweh, his God, for he went into the house of Yahweh 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, and with him eighty priests of Yahweh, who were brave men.
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 nauh.
They resisted Uzziah, the king, and said to him, “It is not 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 holy place, for you have been unfaithful and you will not be honored by Yahweh God.”
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.
Then Uzziah became angry. He was holding a censer in his hand to burn incense. While he was angry with the priests, leprosy broke out on his forehead before the priests in the house of Yahweh, beside the altar of incense.
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.
Azariah the chief priest and all the priests looked at him, and, behold, he had become leprous on his forehead. They quickly drove him out of there. Indeed, he hurried to go out, because Yahweh 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.
Uzziah, the king, was a leper to the day of his death and lived in a separate house since he was a leper, for he was cut off from the house of Yahweh. Jotham, his son, was over the king's house and ruled the people of the land.
22 Uzziah kah ol noi te a kung a dong khaw tonghma Amoz capa Isaiah loh a daek.
The other matters concerning Uzziah, from first to last, were recorded 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.
So Uzziah slept with his ancestors; they buried him with his ancestors in a burial ground that belonged to the kings, for they said, “He is a leper.” Jotham, his son, became king in his place.
