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.
Yuda manfoɔ de Amasia babarima Usia a na wadi mfeɛ dunsia tenaa ahennwa so sɛ wɔn ɔhene foforɔ.
2 He built Eloth, and restored it to Judah, after the king slept with his fathers.
Usia agya wuo akyi no, ɔsane kyekyeree Elot kuro no, na ɔdane maa Yuda.
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.
Usia dii adeɛ no, na wadi mfirinhyia dunsia, na ɔdii ɔhene wɔ Yerusalem mfirinhyia aduonum mmienu. Ne maame a ɔfiri Yerusalem no din de Yeholia.
4 And he did [that which was] right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father Amaziah did.
Na ɔtene wɔ Awurade ani so, sɛdeɛ nʼagya Amasia teɛ no.
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.
Sakaria berɛ so no, Usia hwehwɛɛ Onyankopɔn akyiri ɛkwan, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔkaa Onyankopɔn suro ho nsɛm kyerɛɛ no. Na ɛsiane sɛ ɔhene no hwehwɛɛ Awurade akyiri kwan no enti, Onyankopɔn maa no nkɔsoɔ.
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.
Ɔtuu Filistifoɔ so sa, na ɔbubuu Gat, Yabne ne Asdod afasuo. Na ɔkyekyeree nkuro afoforɔ wɔ Asdod fam ne mmeammea bi a ɛwɔ Filistia.
7 And God helped him against the Philistines, and against the Arabians that dwelt in Gur-baal, and the Mehunims.
Ɛnyɛ ɔko a ɔne Filistifoɔ koeɛ no mu nko ara na Onyankopɔn boaa no, na mmom ɔko a ɔne Arabfoɔ a wɔwɔ Gur Baal koeɛ ne Meunifoɔ ko mu nso, ɔboaa no.
8 And the Ammonites gave gifts to Uzziah: and his name spread abroad [even] to the entrance of Egypt: for he strengthened [himself] exceedingly.
Meunifoɔ no tuaa apeatoɔ maa no, na ne din hyeta kɔduruu Misraim, ɛfiri sɛ, na ɔwɔ tumi a ɛso.
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.
Usia sisii ɔwɛn abantenten wɔ Yerusalem wɔ Twɛtwɛwa Ɛpono ano, Bɔnhwa Ɛpono ano ne ɔfasuo no ntwea mu no so.
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.
Ɔsane sisii abankɛseɛ wɔ ɛserɛ so, tutuu nsubura bebree, ɛfiri sɛ, na ɔyɛn mmoa pii wɔ Yuda bepɔ ase hɔ. Na ɔyɛ ɔbarima a nʼani gye kua ho. Na ɔwɔ adwumayɛfoɔ bebree a wɔhwɛ ne mfuo ne ne bobefuo a ɛwɔ mmepɔ no nsianeɛ mu ne bɔnhwa nsase bereɛ no so.
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.
Na Usia wɔ asraafoɔ a wɔyɛ akofoɔ akɛseɛ a wɔwɔ akodie mu nteteeɛ. Na wɔyɛ akuakuo a wɔasiesie wɔn ho ama ɔko. Na Yeiel a ɔyɛ akodɔm no twerɛfoɔ ne ne ɔboafoɔ Maaseia na wɔboaboa akofoɔ kɛseɛ yi ano. Na wɔhyɛ Hanania a ɔyɛ ɔhene no mpanimfoɔ no mu baako ase.
12 The whole number of the chief of the fathers of the mighty men of valor [were] two thousand and six hundred.
Mmusua ntuanofoɔ mpenu ahansia na na wɔma saa akofoɔ abenfoɔ yi akwankyerɛ.
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.
Na akodɔm no dodoɔ yɛ ɔpehasa ne nson ne ahanum a wɔn nyinaa nim de. Na wɔada wɔn ho so sɛ wɔbɛboa ɔhene no ako atia ɔtamfoɔ biara.
14 And Uzziah prepared for them throughout all the army, shields, and spears, and helmets, and habergeons, and bows, and slings [to cast] stones.
Usia maa akodɔm no nyinaa akokyɛm, mpea, nnadeɛ kyɛ, nkataboɔ, bɛmma ne ahwimmoɔ aboɔ.
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.
Afei, abenfoɔ bi yɛɛ mfidie de sisii Yerusalem afasuo no so a ɛto agyan ne aboɔ firi abantenten no so ne ɔfasuo twɛtwɛwa so. Nʼanimuonyam hyetaeɛ, ɛfiri sɛ, Awurade boaa no yie kɔsii sɛ ɔnyaa tumi kɛseɛ.
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.
Nanso, ɔnyaa tumi kɛseɛ no, ɔyɛɛ ahantan a ɛnam so maa ɔhwee ase. Ɔyɛɛ bɔne tiaa Awurade ne Onyankopɔn, ɛfiri sɛ ɔkɔɔ Awurade Asɔredan kronkronbea hɔ, kɔhyee nnuhwam wɔ afɔrebukyia no so.
17 And Azariah the priest went in after him, and with him eighty priests of the LORD, [that were] valiant men:
Ɔsɔfopanin Asaria ne Awurade asɔfoɔ foforɔ aduɔwɔtwe, akokoɔdurufoɔ kɔhwehwɛɛ no.
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.
Wɔka sii ɔhene Usia anim sɛ, “Ɛnyɛ wo Usia na ɛsɛ sɛ wohye nnuhwam ma Awurade. Ɛyɛ asɔfoɔ nko ara, Aaron mmammarima a, wɔayi wɔn asi hɔ ama saa dwumadie no nko ara adwuma. Firi kronkronbea ha kɔ, ɛfiri sɛ, woayɛ bɔne. Onyankopɔn renhyɛ wo animuonyam wɔ yei ho.”
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.
Usia bo fuu yie, na wamfa nnuhwamhyeɛ kuruwa a na ɛkura no no ansi fam. Ɔne asɔfoɔ no gyina nnuhwam afɔrebukyia no anim wɔ Awurade Asɔredan no mu no, prɛko pɛ, kwata totɔɔ ne moma so.
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.
Ɛberɛ a Asaria ne asɔfoɔ a aka no hunuu kwata no, wɔpiapiaa no firii hɔ. Na ɔhene no ankasa pɛɛ sɛ ɔfiri hɔ ntɛm, ɛfiri sɛ, Awurade na wabɔ no.
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.
Enti, kwata yɛɛ ɔhene Usia kɔsii sɛ ɔwuiɛ. Wɔpamoo no firii nnipa mu maa ɔno nko ara tenaeɛ a wankɔ Awurade Asɔredan mu. Wɔde ne babarima Yotam tenaa ahemfie hɔ ma ɔdii nnipa a wɔwɔ asase no so so.
22 Now the rest of the acts of Uzziah, first and last, were written by Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amos.
Amos babarima Yesaia atwerɛ Usia ahennie ho nsɛm nkaeɛ firi ahyɛaseɛ kɔsi awieeɛ ato hɔ.
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.
Usia wuiɛ, na ɛsiane sɛ kwata yɛɛ no enti, wɔsiee no bɛn ahemfo amusieeɛ. Na ne babarima Yotam na ɔdii nʼadeɛ sɛ ɔhene.
