2 Setouknae 26
1 Hahoi Judahnaw abuemlah ni kum 16 touh ka phat e Uzziah hah a ceikhai awh teh a na pa Amaziah e yueng lah siangpahrang a tawk sak awh.
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 Hote siangpahrang teh a na pa a due hnukkhu, Eloth kho a thawng teh, Judah ram thung bout kâen sak.
3 Uzziah siangpahrang a tawk navah, kum 16 touh nueng a pha teh, Jerusalem vah kum 52 touh a bawi. A manu e min teh Jekoliah, Jerusalem tami doeh.
Uzziah ruled in Jerusalem for 52 years. His mother was Jecoliah; she was from Jerusalem.
4 A na pa Amaziah ni a sak e pueng a sak van teh, BAWIPA mithmu vah hawinae a sak.
Uzziah did things that Yahweh considered to be good, like his father Amaziah had done.
5 Ahni teh Cathut e kamnuenae kapanuekkung Zekhariah tueng navah, Cathut ka taket e lah ao. Hatdawkvah, BAWIPA a tawngnae tueng pueng nateh, Cathut ni yawhawi a poe.
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 Hahoi a kamthaw teh Filistinnaw a tuk. Gath rapan, Jabneh rapan hoi Asdod rapannaw a raphoe pouh. Asdod ram thung hoi Filistin ram thung khonaw a thawng.
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 Cathut ni Filistinnaw Gurbaal kaawm e Arabianaw hoi Meunimnaw tuk hanelah ouk a kabawp.
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 Ammonnaw ni Uzziah koevah tamuk ouk a poe awh. Hottelah a thao poung dawkvah, Izip ram totouh a kamthang.
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 ni Jerusalem vah takin longkha hoi ayawn longkha hoi rapan longkawi nah koevah, imrasang a sak teh a kalup.
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 Thingyeiyawn hai imrasang a sak teh, tuikhu moikapap a tai. Bangkongtetpawiteh, saring moikapap a tawn. Ravo hoi tanghling dawk law katawnnaw hoi takhakatawkkungnaw hah monruinaw hoi talai kahawi koe a hruek. Bangkongtetpawiteh, lawsak ka panki e lah a o
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 Uzziah ni ransa taran ka tuk thai e, siangpahrang e ransanaw kahrawikung Hananiah e kut rahim, cakathutkung Jeil hoi kahrawikung Mosi tinaw ni a pouk e patetlah ahuhu lah tarankatuknaw a tawn.
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 A tarankahawi ni teh athakaawme, imthung kahrawikung abuemlah 2,600 touh a pha.
There were 2,600 leaders of those groups of soldiers.
13 Kâtawnnae rahim vah, ransa 307, 500 taranum siangpahrang kabawmkung tarantuk thaonae bahu hai ao.
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 ni ransanaw abuemlah hanelah saiphei, tahroe, sumlukhung, sumangki, palacung, tâyai hoi talungnaw hai a rakueng pouh.
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 Jerusalem vah imrasang hoi rapan takin tangkuem koe hruek e pala hoi talung kalenpounge pathui nahane, kutsakkathoumnaw ni a sak e seh hai a sak. Hatdawkvah, a min teh kho tangkuem a kamthang. Tami a thakasai poung totouh, kângairu lahoi kabawp e lah ao.
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 Hatei a tha o hnukkhu ama rawk nahan totouh a pouknae a kârasang. BAWIPA e Bawkim thung, thuengnae khoungroe koe hmuitui thueng hanelah a kâen teh BAWIPA Cathut a taran teh kâ a poe.
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 Ahnie hnuk vaihma Azariah hoi tarankahawi poung e BAWIPA e vaihma 80 touh a kâbang.
Azariah the [Supreme] Priest and 80 other brave priests followed him into the temple.
18 Siangpahrang Uzziah teh a puen teh, ahni koe, Uzziah BAWIPA hanelah hmuitui thuengnae heh na thaw nahoeh. Hmuitui thuengnae teh vaihma Aron capanaw e thaw doeh. Hmuen kathoung koehoi tâcawt, na payon toe. BAWIPA Cathut koehoi barinae na coenae hai nahoeh, telah atipouh awh.
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 Hatdawkvah, Uzziah teh a lungkhuek. Hahoi hmuitui thueng nahanelah tongben a sin. Hottelah vaihmanaw koe a lungkhuek lahun nah BAWIPA im dawk hmuitui thuengnae a kung koe vaihmanaw hmalah a tampa dawk hrikbei a kamnue.
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 Vaihma bawi Azariah hoi vaihma alouke pueng ni a khet awh teh, khenhaw! a tampa dawk hrikbei ao e hah a hmu awh dawkvah, hote hmuen koehoi alawilah a pâlei awh. Ama hai karanglah a tâco, bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni a hem.
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 Hahoi siangpahrang Uzziah teh a due totouh ka hrikbei e tami lah ao dawkvah, im aloukcalah ao. Hahoi BAWIPA im dawk kâen nahanelah kâpoe awh hoeh toe.
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 tawksaknae dawk hoi kaawm rae naw kamtawng hoi apout totouh Amoz capa profet Isaiah ni a thut.
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 Hottelah Uzziah teh mintoenaw koe a kâhat teh siangpahrangnaw pakawpnae koe a na mintoenaw koe a pakawp awh. Ahni teh ka hrikbei e tami doeh, telah ati awh. Hahoi a capa Jotham teh ahnie yueng lah a bawi.
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].
