2 Chronicles 26
1 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.
A LAILA, lalau na kanaka a pau o Iuda, ia Uzia, he umikumamaono makahiki ona, a hoalii iho la ia ia ma ka hakahaka o kona makuakane o Amazia.
Ua kukulu oia ia Elota, a hui hou ia me Iuda, a mahope iho, hiamoe iho la ke alii me kona mau makua.
3 Uzziah ruled in Jerusalem for 52 years. His mother was Jecoliah; she was from Jerusalem.
He umikumamaono makahiki ko Uzia i kona wa i alii ai, a noho alii iho la ia i na makahiki ke kanalimakumamalua ma Ierusalema; a o ka inoa o kona makuwahine o Iekolia no Ierusalema.
4 Uzziah did things that Yahweh considered to be good, like his father Amaziah had done.
Ua hana oia i ka pono imua o Iehova, e like me ka mea a kona makuakane a Amazia i hana'i.
5 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.
A ua imi oia i ke Akua i na la o Zekaria, ka mea ike i na akaku no ke Akua mai; a i kona wa i imi at ia Iehova, ua hoomaikai mai ke Akua ia ia.
6 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.
A hele aku la ia a kaua aku i ko Pilisetia, a wawahi ia i ka pa o Gata, a me ka pa o Iabena, a me ka pa o Asedoda, a kukulu iho la ia i na kulanakauhale ma Asedoda, a ma Pilisetia.
7 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.
A kokua mai ke Akua ia ia e ku e i ko Pilisetia a me ko Arabia, ka poe i noho ma Gurebaala, a me ka Mehuna.
8 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.
A haawi mai ka Amona i na makana na Uzia, a kaulana loa kona inoa a hiki i kahi e komo ai iloko o Aigupita; no ka mea, ua hooikaika nui loa iho la no ia.
9 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.
A ua kukulu o Uzia i mau hale kiai ma Ierusalema ma ka puka kihi, a ma ka puka awawa, a ma ka popoiwi o ka pa, hana oia ia mau mea a pau loa.
10 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.
A kukulu no hoi ia i na hale kiai ma ka waonahele, a eli iho la i na punawai he nui loa; no ka mea, nui kana poe holoholona ma ke awawa, a me ka papu; he poe mahiai no hoi kekahi, a he poe malama i ka laau waina ma na mauna, a ma Karemela; no ka mea, ua makemake oia i ka aina.
11 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.
Aia hoi ia Uzia he poe koa, ia lakou ke kaua, a hele aku la lakou i ke kaua ma na papa malalo o Hanania kekahi luna o ke alii, e like me ka helu ana o ko lakou poe luna e Ieiela, ka mea nana e helu, a me Maaseia ka luna.
12 There were 2,600 leaders of those groups of soldiers.
O ka helu ana o ka poe koikoi a pau o na makua, ka poe koa ikaika, elua tausani a me na haneri eono.
13 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.
Malalo iho o lakou he poe koa ekolu haneri tausani. a ehiku tausani elima haneri, he poe kaua ikaika loa e kokua i ke alii i ke ku e ana i ka enemi.
14 Uzziah gave to each soldier a shield, a spear, a helmet, a vest made of iron plates, a bow [and arrows], and a slingshot.
A hoomakaukau o Uzia no lakou, no ka poe koa a pau, i na palekaua, a me na ihe, a me na aahuapoo, a me na pulikikaua, a me na kakaka, a me na maa e maa aku ai i na pohaku.
15 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.
Hana iho la oia ma Ierusalema i na mea kaua, i na mea a ka poe noonoo i noonoo ai, i mau mea maluna o na halekiai, a ma na kihi, e hoolele i na pua, a me na pohaku nui. A ua kaulana kona inoa ma kahi loihi aku, no ka mea, ua kokua nui ia mai no ia, a ikaika loa ia.
16 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.
A ikaika ia, alaila kiekie kona naau, a malaila ia i make ai. Hana hewa aku oia ia Iehova, i kona Akua, a komo ia iloko o ka luakini o Iehova e kuni i mea ala maluna o ke kuahu kuni mea ala.
17 Azariah the [Supreme] Priest and 80 other brave priests followed him into the temple.
Alaila, komo o Azaria, ke kahuna mahope ona, a o na kahuna o Iehova kekahi pu me ia elua kanaha, he poe ikaika:
18 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]!”
A ku e lakou ia Uzia i ke alii, olelo aku la lakou ia ia, Aole ia oe, e Uzia, ke kuni i mea ala ia Iehova, na ka poe kahuna no, na ka poe mamo a Aarona, ka poe i hoolaaia e kuni i ka mea ala; e hele oe iwaho o ka luakini, no ka mea, ua hana hewa oe; aole e loaa ia oe ka nani ma keia mea mai o Iehova ke Akua mai.
19 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.
A huhu o Uzia; aia hoi ka ipuahi kuni mea ala ma kona lima; a i kona huhu ana i ka poe kahuna, poha mai ka mai lepera ma kona lae imua o na kahuna iloko o ka hale o Iehova ma ka aoao o ke kuahu kuni mea ala.
20 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.]
A nana o Azaria ke kahuna nui, a me na kahuna a pau ia ia, aia hoi, he mai lepera ma kona lae, a kipaku lakou ia ia mailaila aku; wikiwiki no hoi ia e puka iwaho, no ka mea, ua hahau mai o Iehova ia ia.
21 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.
A he kanaka mai lepera o Uzia, ke alii a hiki i ka la o kona make ana, a noho kaawale iho la ia iloko o ka hale mai lepera, no ka mea, ua okiia oia mai ka hale o Iehova aku; a o Iotama, kana keiki, oia ka mea maluna o ka hale o ke alii e hookolokolo ana i na kanaka o ka aina.
22 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.
A o ke koena o na hana a Uzia, ka mua a me ka hope, ua kakauia ia mau mea e Isaia, ke keiki a Amosa, ke kaula.
23 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].
Hiamoe iho la o Uzia me kona poe kupuna, a ua kanu lakou ia ia me kona poe kupuna ma ke kula kahi e kanu ai no na'lii, no ka mea, olelo lakou, He lepera ia; a noho alii o Iotama kana keiki ma kona hakahaka.
