< 2 Chronicles 26 >
1 All the people of Judah took Uzziah, sixteen years old, and made him king in succession to his father Amaziah.
Bato nyonso ya Yuda baponaki Oziasi oyo azalaki na mibu zomi na motoba ya mbotama mpe bakomisaki ye mokonzi na esika ya Amatsia, tata na ye.
2 He rebuilt Eloth and brought it back into the kingdom of Judah after Amaziah died.
Sima na kufa ya tata na ye, Amatsia, Oziasi atongaki lisusu engumba Eyiloti mpe azongisaki yango na se ya bokonzi ya Yuda.
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.
Oziasi azalaki na mibu zomi na motoba ya mbotama tango akomaki mokonzi, mpe akonzaki mibu tuku mitano na mibale na Yelusalemi. Kombo ya mama na ye ezalaki « Yekolia. » Yekolia azalaki moto ya Yelusalemi.
4 He did what was right in the Lord's sight as his father Amaziah had done.
Asalaki makambo ya sembo na miso ya Yawe ndenge kaka Amatsia, tata na ye, asalaki.
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.
Oziasi akangamaki na Nzambe mikolo nyonso ya bomoi ya Zakari, pamba te azalaki kolakisa ye kotosa Nzambe. Na tango nyonso oyo Oziasi awumelaki kokangama na Yawe, Nzambe azalaki kolongisa ye.
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.
Akendeki kobundisa bato ya Filisitia mpe atobolaki madusu kati na bamir ya Gati, ya Yabine mpe ya Asidodi. Atongaki lisusu bingumba ebele kati na etuka ya Asidodi mpe kati na bituka mosusu ya bato ya Filisitia.
7 God helped him against the Philistines, against the Arabians living in Gurbaal, and against the Meunites.
Nzambe asungaki ye tango abundisaki bato ya Filisitia, ya Arabi oyo bazalaki kovanda na Guri-Bala, mpe tango abundisaki bato ya Maoni.
8 The Meunites brought gifts as tribute to Uzziah. His reputation spread as far as the border of Egypt, for he became very powerful.
Bato ya Amoni bafutaki mpako ya mokonzi epai ya Oziasi, mpe kombo na ye ekendeki sango kino na bandelo ya Ejipito, pamba te akomaki na nguya makasi koleka.
9 Uzziah built defensive towers in Jerusalem at the Corner Gate and the Valley Gate, and at the corner, and strengthened them.
Oziasi atongaki bandako milayi kati na Yelusalemi, na ekuke ya suka, na ekuke ya lubwaku mpe na suka ya mir; mpe alendisaki yango makasi.
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.
Atongaki lisusu bandako milayi kati na esobe mpe atimolaki mabulu ebele ya mayi mpo ete azalaki na bibwele ebele na se ya bangomba mpe na etando. Azalaki mpe na basali ebele oyo bazalaki kotimola mabele mpe kosala kati na bilanga na ye ya vino kati na bituka ya bangomba mpe na mabele oyo ebotaka malamu, pamba te azalaki kolinga mingi misala ya bilanga.
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.
Oziasi azalaki na basoda oyo baselingwa mpo na bitumba; mpe babongisamaki na masanga kolanda motango na bango ndenge Yeyeli, mokomi mikanda, mpe kalaka Maaseya, na bokambami ya Anania, moko kati na bakonzi ya bakalaka ya mokonzi, bazwaki bango na mosala.
12 The total number of family leaders was 2,600 fighting men.
Motango nyonso ya bakambi ya mabota, oyo bazalaki kokamba basoda ya mpiko, ezalaki nkoto mibale na nkama motoba.
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.
Bakonzi ya mabota bazalaki kokamba basoda nkoto nkama misato na sambo na nkama mitano oyo baselingwa mpo na bitumba mpe bazalaki basoda ya mpiko, mpo na kobundela mokonzi liboso ya banguna na ye.
14 Uzziah supplied shields, spears, helmets, armor, bows, and slingstones for the whole army.
Na tango nyonso ya bitumba, Oziasi azalaki kopesa banguba, makonga, bikoti ya bibende, bilamba ya bibende oyo ebatelaka tolo, matolotolo mpe bibambelo mabanga.
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.
Asalisaki kati na Yelusalemi, epai ya bato ya mayele, bamashini mpo na kotia yango likolo ya bandako milayi mpe na suka ya bamir mpo na kobwaka makonga mpe mabanga minene. Kombo na ye ekendeki sango, pamba te asungamaki makasi kino kokoma moto na nguya.
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.
Kasi tango Oziasi akomaki na nguya, atondaki na lolendo oyo ememaki ye na kokweya. Atambolaki lisusu na bosembo te liboso ya Yawe, Nzambe na ye, kino kokota na Tempelo ya Yawe mpo na kotumba mbeka ya malasi na likolo ya etumbelo ya malasi.
17 Azariah the priest went in after him, with eighty brave priests of the Lord.
Nganga-Nzambe Azaria alandaki Oziasi na sima, elongo na Banganga-Nzambe mosusu ya Yawe, tuku mwambe, bango nyonso batonda na mpiko.
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.”
Batelemelaki mokonzi Oziasi mpe balobaki na ye: « Oziasi, kotumba mbeka ya malasi mpo na Yawe ezali mosala na yo te! Ezali nde mosala ya Banganga-Nzambe, bakitani ya Aron, oyo babulisama mpo na mosala yango. Bima wuta na Esika ya bule, pamba te ozali kosala likambo ya nkele, mpe Yawe Nzambe akosepela na yo te! »
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.
Bongo Oziasi, oyo asimbaki mbabola na loboko na ye, atombokelaki Banganga-Nzambe. Kaka na tango yango, wana azalaki kati na Tempelo ya Yawe liboso ya etumbelo ya ansa, bokono ya maba ebimaki na elongi na ye na miso ya Banganga-Nzambe.
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.
Tango Azaria, mokonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe, mpe Banganga-Nzambe mosusu batalaki ye mpe bamonaki ete akomi na bokono ya maba na elongi, babenganaki ye na lombangu wana ye moko mpe azalaki kobima na lombangu, pamba te Yawe asambwisaki ye.
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.
Mokonzi Oziasi abelaki bokono ya maba kino na mokolo na ye ya kufa. Lokola azalaki kobela bokono ya maba, akomaki kovanda na ndako moko batonga mosika, pamba te babenganaki ye mosika ya Tempelo ya Yawe. Yotami, mwana na ye ya mobali, mobateli biloko ya ndako ya mokonzi, ayangelaki bato ya mokili.
22 The rest of what Uzziah did, from beginning to end, was written down by the prophet Isaiah, son of Amoz.
Makambo mosusu oyo etali bokonzi ya Oziasi mpe misala na ye, kobanda na ebandeli kino na suka, ezali mosakoli Ezayi, mwana mobali ya Amotsi, nde akomaki yango.
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.
Oziasi akendeki kokutana na bakoko na ye, mpe bakundaki ye esika moko na bango kati na lilita ya bakonzi, pamba te bato bazalaki koloba: « Abelaki bokono ya maba. » Yotami, mwana na ye ya mobali, akitanaki na ye na bokonzi.
