2 Chronicles 26
1 Then all the people of Judah took Uzziah, who [was] sixteen years old, and made him king in the room of his father Amaziah.
Watu wote wa Yuda wakamchukua Uzia, ambaye alikuwa na aumri wa mika kumi na sita, na wakamfanya mfalme katika nafasi ya baba yake Amazia.
2 He built Eloth, and restored it to Judah, after the king slept with his fathers.
Ndiye aliuyeijenga tena Elathi na kuurejesha kwa Yuda. Baada ya hapo mfalme akalala pamoja na babu zake.
3 Sixteen years old [was] Uzziah when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty and two years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also [was] Jecoliah of Jerusalem.
Uzia alikuwa na umri wa miaka kumi na sita alipoanza kutawala. Akatawala miaka ishirini na mabili katika Yerusalemu. Jina la mama yake lilikuwa Yekolia; alikuwa wa Yerusalemu.
4 And he did [that which was] right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father Amaziah did.
Akafanya yaliyokuwa sahihi katika macho ya Yahwe, akiufuata mfano wa baba yake, katika kila jamabo.
5 And he sought God in the days of Zechariah, who had understanding in the visions of God: and, as long as he sought the LORD, God made him to prosper.
Alijitoa kumtafuta Mungu katiaka siku za Zekaria, ambaye alimpa maelekezo kwa ajili ya kumtii Mungu. Kadri alivyomtafuta Yaahwe, Mungu alimfanikisha.
6 And he went forth and warred against the Philistines, and broke down the wall of Gath, and the wall of Jabneh, and the wall of Ashdod, and built cities about Ashdod, and among the Philistines.
Uzia akaenda na kupigana zidi ya Wafilisti. Akaubomoa ukuta wa mji wa Gathi, Yabne, na Ashdodi; akajenga miji katika nchi ya Ashdodi na miongoni mwa Wafilisti.
7 And God helped him against the Philistines, and against the Arabians that dwelt in Gur-baal, and the Mehunims.
Mungu aakaamsaidia zidi ya Wafilist, zidi ya Waarabu waliokuwa wakiishi Gur - baali, na zidi ya Wameuni.
8 And the Ammonites gave gifts to Uzziah: and his name spread abroad [even] to the entrance of Egypt: for he strengthened [himself] exceedingly.
Waamoni wakalipa kodi kwa Uzia, na umaarufu wake ukaenea, hata kufika maingilio ya Misiri, kwa sababu alikuwa ameanza kuwa maarufu.
9 Moreover, Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem at the corner gate, and at the valley gate, and at the turning [of the wall], and fortified them.
Zaidi ya hayo, Uzia akajenga minara katika Yerusalemu katika kona ya Lango, kwenye Lango la Bonde, na pa kwenye kona ya ukuta, na akavizungushia ngome.
10 Also he built towers in the desert, and digged many wells: for he had many cattle, both in the low country, and in the plains: husbandmen [also], and vine-dressers in the mountains, and in Carmel: for he loved husbandry.
Akajenga minara ya ulinzi katika nyika na akachimba mabwawa, kwa maana alikuwa na ng'ombe wengi, katika visiwa vya chini na katika nchi tambarare. Alikuwa na wakulima na wapandaji wa zabibu katika mwinuko wa nchi na katika mashamba yenye rutuba, kwa maana alipenda kulima.
11 Moreover, Uzziah had an army of fighting men, that went out to war, by bands, according to the number of their account by the hand of Jeiel the scribe and Maaseiah the ruler, under the hand of Hananiah, [one] of the king's captains.
Zaidi ya hayo, Uzia alikuwa na jeshi la wanaume wa kupigana vita ambao walienda vitani katika makundi ambayo idadi yake ilikuwa imehesabiwa na Yeieli, mwandishi. na Maaseya, afisa, chini ya mamlaka ya Hanania, mmoja wa maamri jeshi wa mfalme.
12 The whole number of the chief of the fathers of the mighty men of valor [were] two thousand and six hundred.
Jumla ya wakuu wa nyumba za mababu, watu wa kupigana vita, walikuwa 2, 600.
13 And under their hand [was] an army, three hundred thousand and seven thousand and five hundred, that made war with mighty power, to help the king against the enemy.
Chini ya mkono wao kulikuwa na jeshi la watu 307, 500 ambao walifanya vita kwa nguvu ili kumsaidia mfalme idi ya maadui.
14 And Uzziah prepared for them throughout all the army, shields, and spears, and helmets, and habergeons, and bows, and slings [to cast] stones.
Uzia akaandaa kwa ajili yao—kwa ajili ya jeshi lote — ngao, mikuki, chapeo, deraya za majini, nyuta, na mawe ya kurusha.
15 And he made in Jerusalem engines, invented by skillful men, to be on the towers and upon the bulwarks, to shoot arrows and great stones. And his name spread far abroad; for he was helped in a wonderful manner, till he was strong.
Katka Yerusalemu alijenga mitambo, iliyobuniwa na watu wenye ujuzi, ili iwe juu ya minara na juu ya buruji, kwa ajili ya kurushia mishale na mawe makaubwa. Umaarufu wake ukaenea hadi nchi za mbali, kwa maana alisaidiwa sana hadi alipokuwa na ngavu sana.
16 But when he was strong, his heart was lifted up to [his] destruction: for he transgressed against the LORD his God, and went into the temple of the LORD to burn incense upon the altar of incense.
Lakini Uzia alipokuwa amekuwa na nguvu nyingi, moyo wake ulijiinua akatenda kwa uovu; akafanya makosa zidi ya Yahwe, Mungu wake, kwa maana alienda kwenye nyumba ya Yahwe kwa ajili ya kufukiza uvumba juu ya madhabahu ya kufukizia.
17 And Azariah the priest went in after him, and with him eighty priests of the LORD, [that were] valiant men:
Azaria, kuhani, akamfuata, na pamoja naye makuhanai themanini wa Yahwe, ambao walikuwa watu wenye ujasiri.
18 And they withstood Uzziah the king, and said to him, [It appertaineth] not to thee, Uzziah, to burn incense to the LORD, but to the priests the sons of Aaron, that are consecrated to burn incense: go out of the sanctuary; for thou hast trespassed; neither [will it be] for thy honor from the LORD God.
Walimzuia Uzia, mfalme, na wakasema kwake, “Siyo jukumu lako, Uzia, kumtolea Yahwe uvumba, bali ni kazi ya makuhani, wana wa Haruni, amabao wametengwa kwa ajili ya kutoa sadaka za uvumba. Toka nje ya sehemu takatifu, kwa maana huna uaminifu na hautaheshimiwa na Yahwe Mungu.”
19 Then Uzziah was wroth, and [had] a censer in his hand to burn incense: and while he was wroth with the priests, the leprosy even rose up in his forehead before the priests in the house of the LORD, from beside the incense altar.
Kisha Uzia akakasirika. Alikuwa ameshikilia chetezo mkononi kwa ajili ya kufukiza uvumba. Wakati alipowaghadhabikia makuhani, ukoma ukatokea juu ya uso wake mbele ya makuhani katika nyumba ya Yahwe, pembeni mwa madhabahu ya uvumba.
20 And Azariah the chief priest, and all the priests looked upon him, and behold, he [was] leprous in his forehead, and they thrust him out from thence; yea, himself hasted also to go out, because the LORD had smitten him.
Azaria kuhani mkuu na makuhani wote wakamwanagalia, na, tazama, alikuwa amepatwa ukoma juu ya uso wake. Walimwondoa pale haraka. Kwa hakika, aliharakisha kwenda nje, kwa maana Yahwe alikuwa amempiga.
21 And Uzziah the king was a leper to the day of his death, and dwelt in a separate house, [being] a leper; for he was cut off from the house of the LORD: and Jotham his son [was] over the king's house, judging the people of the land.
Uzia, mfalme, alikuwa mwenye ukoma hadi siku ya kufa kwake na aliishi katika nyumba ya kutengwa tangu alipokuwa mwenye ukoma, kwa maan alitengwa na nyumba ya Yahwe. Yothamu, mwanaye, alikuwa mkuu wa anyumba ya mfalme na aliwatawala watu wa nchi.
22 Now the rest of the acts of Uzziah, first and last, were written by Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amos.
Mambo mengine kuhusu Uzia, mwanzo na mwisho, yako katika kile ambacho Isaya, mwana wa Amozi, nabii, aliandika.
23 So Uzziah slept with his fathers, and they buried him with his fathers in the field of the burial which [belonged] to the kings; for they said, He [is] a leper: and Jotham his son reigned in his stead.
Kwa hiyo Uzia akalala pamoja na babu zake; walimzka pamoja na babu zake katika uwanja wa maziko wa Mfalme, kwa maana walisema, “Ni mwenye ukoma”. Yothamu, mwanaye, akawa mfalme katika nafasi yake.
