2 Weche Mag Ndalo 26
1 Bangʼe jo-Juda duto nokawo Uzia mane ja-higni apar gauchiel kendo negikete ruoth kar wuon mare Amazia.
Then all the people of Judah appointed his son, Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, as king in place of his father, Amaziah.
2 Kane wuon mare osetho moike kaka kwerene, nochako ogero Elath moduoke ne jo-Juda.
He built up Eloth, and he restored it to the dominion of Judah. After this, the king slept with his fathers.
3 Uzia ne ja-higni apar gauchiel kane odoko ruoth kendo nobedo ruoth kodak Jerusalem kuom higni piero abich gariyo. Min mare ne nyinge Jekolia ma nyar Jerusalem.
Uzziah was sixteen years old when he had begun to reign. And he reigned for fifty-two years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Jecoliah, from Jerusalem.
4 Notimo gima kare e nyim wangʼ Jehova Nyasaye mana kaka wuon-gi Amazia nosetimo.
And he did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, in accord with all that his father, Amaziah, had done.
5 Noketo chunye kuom Nyasaye e ndalo mag Zekaria, ngʼat ma nopuonje luoro Nyasaye. E ndalo duto mane odwaro Jehova Nyasaye, Nyasaye nomiye gweth.
And he sought the Lord, during the days of Zechariah, who understood and saw God. And while he was seeking the Lord, he directed him in all things.
6 Nodhi kedo kod jo-Filistia momuko ohinga mar Gath gi Jabne kod Ashdod. Bangʼe nogero mier machiegni kod Ashdod, kod kuonde mamoko ei piny Filistia.
Indeed, he went out and fought against the Philistines. And he destroyed the wall of Gath, and the wall of Jabneh, and the wall of Ashdod. Also, he built towns in Ashdod, and among the Philistines.
7 Nyasaye nokonye loyo jo-Filistia kod jo-Arabu mane odak Gur Baal kod jo-Meun.
And God helped him against the Philistines, and against the Arabians, who were living in Gurbaal, and against the Ammonites.
8 Jo-Amon nokelo osuru ne Uzia kendo humbe nolandore nyaka e tongʼ-gi kod jo-Misri nimar nosedoko ngʼama duongʼ ahinya.
And the Ammonites weighed out gifts to Uzziah. And his name became widely known, even to the entrance of Egypt, because of his frequent victories.
9 Uzia nogero kuonde maboyo mag ngʼicho Jerusalem e Dhorangach miluongo ni Ranga Kama Ohinga Ogomogo gi Ranga Holo kod e giko ohinga kendo nogerogi motegno.
And Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem, above the gate of the corner, and above the gate of the valley, and others on the same side of the wall, and he fortified them.
10 E piny motimo ongoro bende nogeroe kuonde motingʼore mag siro lweny kendo nokunyo yewni mangʼeny nikech ne en kod jamni mangʼeny e tie gode kod e piny pap. Bende ne en kod joma ne tiyone e puothe kod puothene mag mzabibu manie gode kaachiel gi kuonde momew nikech nohero pur.
Then he also constructed towers in the wilderness, and dug many cisterns, because he had much cattle, both in the plains and in the starkness of the wilderness. Also, he had vineyards and dressers of vines in the mountains and at Carmel. Certainly, he was a man devoted to agriculture.
11 Uzia ne ni kod jolweny motiegore maber moikore dhiye kedo kaluwore kod migepegi mana kaka Jeyel jagoro kod Maseya jatelo nopogogi kaluwore kaka Hanania mane achiel kuom jodong ruoth nochikogi.
Now the army of his warriors, who would go forth to battle, was under the hand of Jeiel, the scribe, and Maaseiah, the teacher, and under the hand of Hananiah, who was among the king’s commanders.
12 Kar romb jotelo mag anywola mane otelo ne jolweny ne gin alufu ariyo gi mia auchiel.
And the entire number of the leaders, by the families of strong men, was two thousand six hundred.
13 Jogo mane gitelonegi ne gin jolweny mane otieg ne lweny ne gin ji alufu mia adek gabiriyo kod mia abich, joma ngʼeny moloyo madikony ruoth kedo gi wasike.
And the entire army under them was three hundred and seven thousand five hundred, who were fit for war, and who fought on behalf of the king against the adversaries.
14 Uzia noloso ni jolweny kuodi gi tonge gi ogute gi akor mag nyinyo gi atunge gi kite midiro gorujre.
Also, Uzziah prepared for them, that is, for the entire army, shields, and spears, and helmets, and breastplates, and bows, as well as slings for the casting of stones.
15 Noloso gir lweny moro midirogo aserni gi kite madongo mane joma riek ofwenyo moketo kuonde maboyo mag ngʼicho kod kuonde ma ohinga ogomogo Jerusalem. Humbe nolandore mabor kendo malach nikech nokonye ahinya nyaka nobedo motegno miwuoro.
And in Jerusalem, he made various kinds of machines, which he placed in the towers, and at the corners of the walls, so as to shoot arrows and large stones. And his name went forth to far away places, for the Lord was helping him and had strengthened him.
16 Kane Uzia osedoko motegno, sungruokne nomiyo opodho. Noweyo luwo Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasache mi nodonjo e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye mondo owangʼ ubani e kendo mar misango mar ubani.
But when he had become strong, his heart was lifted up, even to his own destruction. And he neglected the Lord his God. And entering into the temple of the Lord, he intended to burn incense upon the altar of incense.
17 To Azaria jadolo kod jodolo mamoko mag Jehova Nyasaye piero aboro ma jochir noluwe kuno.
And entering immediately after him, Azariah the priest, and with him eighty priests of the Lord, very valiant men,
18 Negikwere kagiwacho niya, “Uzia, ok en tiji wangʼo ni Jehova Nyasaye ubani; nimar mano en tij jodolo ma nyikwa Harun mane opwodhi mondo giwangʼ ubani. Wuogi e kama ler mar lemo nikech iseketho, omiyo Jehova Nyasaye ok nogwedhi.”
withstood the king, and they said: “It is not your office, Uzziah, to burn incense to the Lord; rather, it is the office of the priests, that is, of the sons of Aaron, who have been consecrated for this same ministry. Depart from the sanctuary, otherwise you will be in contempt. For this act will not be reputed to you for your glory by the Lord God.”
19 Uzia mane oyudo ka oikore gi tap mach e lwete mondo owangʼ ubani nokecho. Kane mirima omake kod jodolo, dhoho nolandore e lela wangʼe e nyim jodolo e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye but kendo mar misango miwangʼoe ubani.
And Uzziah, having become angry, while holding in his hand the censer so that he might burn incense, threatened the priests. And immediately a leprosy arose on his forehead, in the sight of the priests, in the house of the Lord, at the altar of incense.
20 Kane Azaria jadolo maduongʼ gi jodolo duto norange, negineno ni en kod dhoho e lela wangʼe mine gigole oko mapiyo. To en owuon bende noreto mapiyo mondo owuogi nikech Jehova Nyasaye nosechwade.
And when the high priest Azariah, and all the rest of the priests, had gazed upon him, they saw the leprosy on his forehead, and they hurried to expel him. Then too, he himself, becoming terrified, rushed to depart, because immediately he had become aware of the wound of the Lord.
21 Ruoth Uzia nobedo ja-dhoho nyaka chiengʼ thone, emomiyo nodak e ot kar kende ka en gi dhoho kendo ne ok oyiene donjo e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye. Jotham wuode ema ne rito dala ruoth kendo norito piny.
And so, king Uzziah was a leper, even until the day of his death. And he lived in a separate house, being full of leprosy, because of which he had been ejected from the house of the Lord. Then Jotham, his son, directed the house of the king, and he was judging the people of the land.
22 Weche mamoko mag loch Uzia koa chakruokgi nyaka gikogi ondikgi e kitap janabi Isaya wuod Amoz.
But the rest of the words of Uzziah, the first and the last, were written by the prophet Isaiah, the son of Amoz.
23 Uzia notho moyweyo gi kwerene kendo noyike machiegni gi paw liete ruodhi nikech ji nowacho niya, “Ne en kod dhoho.” Kendo Jotham wuode nobedo ruoth kare.
And Uzziah slept with his fathers. And they buried him in the field of the royal sepulchers, because he was a leper. And Jotham, his son, reigned in his place.
