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.
Nígbà náà gbogbo ènìyàn Juda mú Ussiah, ẹni tí ó jẹ́ ẹni ọdún mẹ́rìndínlógún wọ́n sì fi jẹ ọba ní ipò baba rẹ̀ Amasiah.
Òun ni ẹni náà tí ó tún Elati kọ́, ó sì mú padà sí Juda lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí Amasiah ọba ti sùn pẹ̀lú àwọn baba rẹ̀.
3 Uzziah ruled in Jerusalem for 52 years. His mother was Jecoliah; she was from Jerusalem.
Ussiah sì jẹ́ ẹni ọdún mẹ́rìndínlógún nígbà tí ó di ọba, ó sì jẹ ọba ní Jerusalẹmu fún ọdún méjìléláàádọ́ta. Orúkọ ìyá rẹ̀ sì ni Jekoliah; ó sì wá láti Jerusalẹmu.
4 Uzziah did things that Yahweh considered to be good, like his father Amaziah had done.
Ó sì ṣe ohun tí ó tọ́ ní ojú Olúwa, gẹ́gẹ́ bi baba rẹ̀ Amasiah ti ṣe.
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.
Ó sì wá Olúwa ní ọjọ́ Sekariah, ẹni tí ó ní òye nínú ìran Ọlọ́run. Níwọ́n ọjọ́ tí ó wá ojú Olúwa, Ọlọ́run fún un ní ohun rere.
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.
Ó sì lọ sí ogun pẹ̀lú Filistini ó sì wó odi Gati lulẹ̀, Jabne àti Aṣdodu. Ó sì kó ìlú rẹ̀ tí ó wà ní ẹ̀gbẹ́ Aṣdodu àti níbìkan láàrín àwọn ará Filistini.
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.
Ọlọ́run sì ràn án lọ́wọ́ lórí àwọn ará Filistini àti Arabia tí ń gbé ní Gur-baali àti lórí àwọn ará Mehuni.
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.
Àwọn ará Ammoni gbé ẹ̀bùn wá fún Ussiah, orúkọ rẹ̀ sì tàn káàkiri títí ó fi dé àtiwọ Ejibiti, nítorí ó ti di alágbára ńlá.
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.
Ussiah sì kọ́ ilé ìṣọ́ ní Jerusalẹmu níbi ẹnu-bodè igun, àti níbi ẹnu-bodè àfonífojì àti níbi ìṣẹ́po odi ó sì mú wọn le
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.
Ó sì tún ilé ìṣọ́ aginjù kọ́, ó sì gbẹ́ kànga púpọ̀, nítorí ó ni ẹran ọ̀sìn púpọ̀ ní ilẹ̀ ìsàlẹ̀ àti ní pẹ̀tẹ́lẹ̀. Ó sì ní àwọn ènìyàn tí ń ṣiṣẹ́ ní pápá àti ọgbà àjàrà ní orí òkè ní ilẹ̀ ọlọ́ràá, nítorí ó fẹ́ràn àgbẹ̀ ṣíṣe.
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.
Ussiah sì ní àwọn ẹgbẹ́ ogun tí wọ́n kọ́ dáradára, wọ́n múra tán láti lọ pẹ̀lú ẹgbẹgbẹ́ gẹ́gẹ́ bí iye kíkà wọn gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọwọ́ Jeieli akọ̀wé àti Maaseiah ìjòyè lábẹ́ ọwọ́ Hananiah, ọ̀kan lára àwọn olórí ogun ọba.
12 There were 2,600 leaders of those groups of soldiers.
Àpapọ̀ iye olórí àwọn alágbára akọni ogun jẹ́ ẹgbẹ̀tàlá.
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.
Lábẹ́ olórí àti olùdarí wọn, wọ́n sì jẹ́ alágbára akọni ogun ọ̀kẹ́ mẹ́ẹ̀ẹ́dógún ó lé ẹ̀ẹ́dẹ́gbàárin, tí ó ti múra fún ogun ńlá náà, àti alágbára ńlá jagunjagun kan láti ran ọba lọ́wọ́ sí ọ̀tá rẹ̀.
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.
Ussiah sì pèsè ọ̀kọ̀, asà, akọ́rọ́, àti ohun èlò ìhámọ́ra ọrun títí dé òkúta kànnàkànnà fún ọwọ́ àwọn ọmọ-ogun.
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.
Ní Jerusalẹmu ó sì ṣe ohun ẹ̀rọ ìjagun, iṣẹ́ ọwọ́ ọlọ́gbọ́n ènìyàn, láti wà lórí ilé ìṣọ́ àti lórí igun odi láti fi tafà àti láti fi sọ òkúta ńlá. Orúkọ rẹ̀ sì tàn káàkiri, nítorí a ṣe ìrànlọ́wọ́ ìyanu fún un títí ó fi di alágbára.
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí Ussiah jẹ́ alágbára tán, ìgbéraga rẹ̀ sì gbé e ṣubú. Ó sì di aláìṣòótọ́ sí Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ̀. Ó sì wọ ilé Olúwa láti sun tùràrí lórí pẹpẹ tùràrí.
17 Azariah the [Supreme] Priest and 80 other brave priests followed him into the temple.
Asariah àlùfáà pẹ̀lú àwọn ọgọ́rin alágbára àlùfáà Olúwa mìíràn sì tẹ̀lé e.
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]!”
Wọ́n sì takò ọba Ussiah, wọn sì wí pé, “Kò dára fún ọ, Ussiah, láti sun tùràrí sí Olúwa. Èyí fún àwọn àlùfáà, àwọn ọmọ Aaroni, ẹni tí ó ti yà sí mímọ́ láti sun tùràrí. Fi ibi mímọ́ sílẹ̀, nítorí tí ìwọ ti jẹ́ aláìṣòótọ́, ìwọ kò sì ní jẹ́ ẹni ọlá láti ọ̀dọ̀ Olúwa Ọlọ́run.”
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.
Ussiah, ẹni tí ó ní àwo tùràrí ní ọwọ́ rẹ̀ tó ṣetán láti sun tùràrí sì bínú. Nígbà tí ó sì ń bínú sí àwọn àlùfáà níwájú wọn, níwájú pẹpẹ tùràrí ní ilé Olúwa, ẹ̀tẹ̀ sì yọ jáde ní iwájú orí rẹ̀.
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.]
Nígbà tí Asariah olórí àlùfáà àti gbogbo àwọn àlùfáà yòókù sì wò ó, wọ́n sì rí i wí pé ó ní ẹ̀tẹ̀ níwájú orí rẹ̀, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n sì sáré gbé e jáde pẹ̀lúpẹ̀lú, òun tìkára rẹ̀ ti fẹ́ láti jáde, nítorí tí Olúwa ti kọlù ú.
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.
Ọba Ussiah sì ní ẹ̀tẹ̀ títí di ọjọ́ ikú rẹ̀. Ó sì gbé ní ilé àwọn adẹ́tẹ̀, a sì ké e kúrò ní ilé Olúwa. Jotamu ọmọ rẹ̀ sì gba ipò rẹ̀, ó sì ń ṣe ìdájọ́ lórí àwọn ènìyàn ilẹ̀ náà.
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.
Ìyókù iṣẹ́ ìjọba Ussiah láti ìbẹ̀rẹ̀ títí dé òpin, ni a kọ láti ọwọ́ wòlíì Isaiah ọmọ Amosi.
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].
Ussiah sì sùn pẹ̀lú àwọn baba, rẹ̀ a sì sin sí ẹ̀gbẹ́ wọn nínú oko ìsìnkú fún ti iṣẹ́ tí àwọn ọba, nítorí àwọn ènìyàn wí pé “Ó ní ààrùn ẹ̀tẹ̀,” Jotamu ọmọ rẹ̀ sì jẹ ọba ní ipò rẹ̀.
