2 Chronicles 26
1 All the people of Judah took Uzziah, sixteen years old, and made him king in succession to his father Amaziah.
Ningĩ andũ othe a Juda makĩoya Uzia, arĩ wa mĩaka ikũmi na ĩtandatũ, na makĩmũtua mũthamaki ithenya rĩa ithe Amazia.
2 He rebuilt Eloth and brought it back into the kingdom of Judah after Amaziah died.
Nĩwe waakithirie Elothu rĩngĩ, na akĩrĩcookeria Juda thuutha wa Amazia kũhurũka hamwe na maithe make.
3 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.
Uzia aarĩ wa mĩaka ikũmi na ĩtandatũ rĩrĩa aatuĩkire mũthamaki, nake agĩthamaka arĩ Jerusalemu mĩaka mĩrongo ĩtano na ĩĩrĩ. Nyina eetagwo Jekolia, na oimĩte Jerusalemu.
4 He did what was right in the Lord's sight as his father Amaziah had done.
Nake nĩekire maũndũ marĩa maarĩ magĩrĩru maitho-inĩ ma Jehova, o ta ũrĩa ithe Amazia eekĩte.
5 He worshiped God during the lifetime of Zechariah, who taught him to respect God. As long as he followed the Lord, God made him successful.
Nĩarongooragia Ngai matukũ-inĩ ma Zekaria, ũrĩa wamũrutĩte gwĩtigĩra Ngai. Narĩo ihinda rĩrĩa rĩothe aarongoragia Jehova-rĩ, Ngai nĩamũheaga ũgaacĩru.
6 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.
Uzia nĩathiire kũrũa na Afilisti, na akĩmomora thingo cia Gathu, na cia Jabine, na cia Ashidodi. Ningĩ agĩcooka agĩaka rĩngĩ matũũra marĩa maarĩ hakuhĩ na Ashidodi na kũndũ kũngĩ gatagatĩ-inĩ ka Afilisti.
7 God helped him against the Philistines, against the Arabians living in Gurbaal, and against the Meunites.
Ngai akĩmũteithia kũhũũrana na Afilisti na Arabu arĩa maatũũraga Guri-Baali na Ameuni.
8 The Meunites brought gifts as tribute to Uzziah. His reputation spread as far as the border of Egypt, for he became very powerful.
Aamoni nĩmarehire igooti kũrĩ Uzia, nayo ngumo yake ĩkĩhunja o nginya mũhaka wa Misiri, nĩ ũndũ nĩagĩĩte na hinya mũno.
9 Uzziah built defensive towers in Jerusalem at the Corner Gate and the Valley Gate, and at the corner, and strengthened them.
Uzia nĩaakire mĩthiringo mĩraihu na igũrũ kũu Jerusalemu hau Kĩhingo-inĩ gĩa Koine, na hau Kĩhingo-inĩ gĩa Gĩtuamba, na hau koine-inĩ ya rũthingo, na akĩmĩirigĩra na thingo cia hinya.
10 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.
Ningĩ agĩaka mĩthiringo mĩraihu na igũrũ kũu werũ-inĩ na akĩenja ithima nyingĩ, nĩ ũndũ aarĩ na mahiũ maingĩ kũu mũhuro-inĩ wa irĩma, o na kũu werũ wa irĩma-inĩ. Aarĩ na andũ maarutaga wĩra mĩgũnda-inĩ yake ya irio na ya mĩthabibũ kũu irĩma-inĩ o na mĩgũnda-inĩ ĩrĩa mĩnoru, tondũ nĩendete ũrĩmi.
11 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.
Uzia aarĩ na mbũtũ ya ita ĩrĩa yarutĩtwo wega mũno, na yakoragwo ĩĩhaarĩirie gũthiĩ mbaara-inĩ, ĩgayanĩtio ikundi kũringana na mũigana wayo na kũringana na ũrĩa yacookanĩrĩirio nĩ Jeieli ũrĩa warĩ mwandĩki na Maaseia ũrĩa warĩ mũnene wao, matongoretio nĩ Hanania, ũmwe wa anene a nyũmba ya ũthamaki.
12 The total number of family leaders was 2,600 fighting men.
Naguo mũigana wothe wa atongoria a nyũmba arĩa maarũgamagĩrĩra thigari warĩ 2,600.
13 Under their command was an army of 307,500 trained for battle, who had the power to help the king fight against the enemy.
Wathani-inĩ wao haarĩ na mbũtũ ya ita ya andũ 307,500 arĩa maarutĩtwo ũhoro wa mbaara, mbũtũ ĩyo yarĩ na hinya na nĩyo yateithagia mũthamaki akĩrũa na thũ ciake.
14 Uzziah supplied shields, spears, helmets, armor, bows, and slingstones for the whole army.
Uzia nĩaheire mbũtũ ĩyo yake ya ita ngo, na matimũ, na ngũbia, na nguo cia igera, na mota na mahiga ma igũtha.
15 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.
Kũu Jerusalemu-rĩ, andũ maarĩ oogĩ mũno magĩthondeka ikaari ciahũthagĩrwo mĩthiringo-inĩ na koine-inĩ cia ũgitĩri na njĩra ya gũikia mĩguĩ na gũikia mahiga manene. Ngumo yake ĩkĩhunja kũndũ kũraya nĩgũkorwo nĩateithirio mũno nginya akĩgĩa na hinya mũno.
16 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.
No thuutha wa Uzia kũgĩa na hinya-rĩ, gwĩtũũgĩria gwake gũkĩmũniina. Akĩaga gũtuĩka mwĩhokeku harĩ Jehova Ngai wake, na agĩtoonya hekarũ ya Jehova nĩguo acine ũbumba kĩgongona-inĩ kĩa ũbumba.
17 Azariah the priest went in after him, with eighty brave priests of the Lord.
Nake Azaria ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai hamwe na athĩnjĩri-Ngai omĩrĩru mĩrongo ĩnana a Jehova, makĩmuuma thuutha o nginya na kũu thĩinĩ.
18 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.”
Nao makĩmũngʼethera mamũkaanie, makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Gũtiagĩrĩire, wee Uzia, ũcinĩre Jehova ũbumba. Ũcio nĩ wĩra wa athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa marĩ a rũciaro rwa Harũni, arĩa maamũrĩtwo macinage ũbumba. Uma handũ haha haamũre nĩgũkorwo ndũrĩ mwĩhokeku, na Jehova Ngai ndangĩgũtĩĩa.”
19 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.
Uzia, ũrĩa wanyiitĩte rũgĩo na guoko ehaarĩirie gũcina ũbumba, akĩrakara mũno. Na o hĩndĩ ĩyo aagũthũkagĩra athĩnjĩri-Ngai marĩ hau mbere ya kĩgongona kĩa ũbumba, hekarũ-inĩ ya Jehova, mũrimũ wa mangũ ũgĩtuthũka thiithi-inĩ wake.
20 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.
Na rĩrĩa Azaria, mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũrĩa mũnene na athĩnjĩri-Ngai acio angĩ othe maamũrorire-rĩ, makĩona atĩ aarĩ na mangũ thiithi; nĩ ũndũ ũcio makĩmuumia na nja na ihenya. O nake we mwene nĩaiguaga kwenda mũno kuuma nja, nĩ ũndũ Jehova nĩamũhũũrĩte na mũrimũ ũcio.
21 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.
Mũthamaki Uzia aatũũrire arĩ na mangũ nginya rĩrĩa aakuire. Aatũũrire nyũmba arĩ wiki, arĩ na mangũ, na agirĩtio gũthiiaga hekarũ ya Jehova. Mũriũ Jothamu akĩrũgamĩrĩra nyũmba ya ũthamaki, na agaathaga andũ a bũrũri ũcio.
22 The rest of what Uzziah did, from beginning to end, was written down by the prophet Isaiah, son of Amoz.
Namo maũndũ marĩa mangĩ makoniĩ wathani wa Uzia-rĩ, kuuma kĩambĩrĩria nginya mũthia, nĩmandĩkĩtwo nĩ mũnabii Isaia mũrũ wa Amozu.
23 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.
Nake Uzia akĩhurũka hamwe na maithe make, na agĩthikwo hakuhĩ nao gĩthaka-inĩ kĩrĩa kĩarĩ gĩa gũthikanwo gĩa athamaki, nĩgũkorwo andũ moigire atĩrĩ, “Ararĩ na mangũ.” Nake mũriũ Jothamu agĩtuĩka mũthamaki ithenya rĩake.
