All the people of Judah took Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in the 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.
He built Eloth and restored it to Judah. After that the king slept with his fathers.
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; and he reigned fifty-two years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jechiliah, of Jerusalem.
4 A napa Amaziah loh a saii bang boeih la BOEIPA mikhmuh ah a thuem a saii.
He did that which was right in Yahweh’s eyes, according to all that his father Amaziah had done.
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 had understanding in the vision of God; and 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.
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 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, and against the Arabians who lived in Gur Baal, and the Meunim.
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 gave tribute to Uzziah. His name spread abroad even to the entrance of Egypt, for he grew exceedingly strong.
9 Uzziah loh rhaltoengim te Jerusalem kah bangkil vongka ah khaw, kolrhawk vongka ah khaw, imki ah khaw a sak tih a moem.
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 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 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 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.
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 A napa rhoek kah boeilu hlangmi boeih he tatthai hlangrhalh thawng hnih ya rhuk lo.
The whole number of the heads of fathers’ households, even the mighty men of valor, was two thousand six hundred.
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, three hundred seven thousand five hundred, who 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, even 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 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 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 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 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 valiant 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 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 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 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 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 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 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, 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 Uzziah kah ol noi te a kung a dong khaw tonghma Amoz capa Isaiah loh a daek.
Now the rest of the acts of Uzziah, first and last, Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, wrote.
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 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.
