2 Chronicles 26
1 All the people of Judah took Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in the place of his father Amaziah.
Ningĩ andũ othe a Juda makĩoya Uzia, arĩ wa mĩaka ikũmi na ĩtandatũ, na makĩmũtua mũthamaki ithenya rĩa ithe Amazia.
2 He built Eloth and restored it to Judah. After that the king slept with his fathers.
Nĩwe waakithirie Elothu rĩngĩ, na akĩrĩcookeria Juda thuutha wa Amazia kũhurũka hamwe na maithe make.
3 Uzziah was sixteen years old when he began to reign; and he reigned fifty-two years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jechiliah, of Jerusalem.
Uzia aarĩ wa mĩaka ikũmi na ĩtandatũ rĩrĩa aatuĩkire mũthamaki, nake agĩthamaka arĩ Jerusalemu mĩaka mĩrongo ĩtano na ĩĩrĩ. Nyina eetagwo Jekolia, na oimĩte Jerusalemu.
4 He did that which was right in the LORD’s eyes, according to all that his father Amaziah had done.
Nake nĩekire maũndũ marĩa maarĩ magĩrĩru maitho-inĩ ma Jehova, o ta ũrĩa ithe Amazia eekĩte.
5 He set himself to seek God in the days of Zechariah, who had understanding in the vision of God; and as long as he sought the LORD, God made him prosper.
Nĩarongooragia Ngai matukũ-inĩ ma Zekaria, ũrĩa wamũrutĩte gwĩtigĩra Ngai. Narĩo ihinda rĩrĩa rĩothe aarongoragia Jehova-rĩ, Ngai nĩamũheaga ũgaacĩru.
6 He went out and fought against the Philistines, and broke down the wall of Gath, the wall of Jabneh, and the wall of Ashdod; and he built cities in the country of Ashdod, and amongst the Philistines.
Uzia nĩathiire kũrũa na Afilisti, na akĩmomora thingo cia Gathu, na cia Jabine, na cia Ashidodi. Ningĩ agĩcooka agĩaka rĩngĩ matũũra marĩa maarĩ hakuhĩ na Ashidodi na kũndũ kũngĩ gatagatĩ-inĩ ka Afilisti.
7 God helped him against the Philistines, and against the Arabians who lived in Gur Baal, and the Meunim.
Ngai akĩmũteithia kũhũũrana na Afilisti na Arabu arĩa maatũũraga Guri-Baali na Ameuni.
8 The Ammonites gave tribute to Uzziah. His name spread abroad even to the entrance of Egypt, for he grew exceedingly strong.
Aamoni nĩmarehire igooti kũrĩ Uzia, nayo ngumo yake ĩkĩhunja o nginya mũhaka wa Misiri, nĩ ũndũ nĩagĩĩte na hinya mũno.
9 Moreover Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem at the corner gate, at the valley gate, and at the turning of the wall, and fortified them.
Uzia nĩaakire mĩthiringo mĩraihu na igũrũ kũu Jerusalemu hau Kĩhingo-inĩ gĩa Koine, na hau Kĩhingo-inĩ gĩa Gĩtuamba, na hau koine-inĩ ya rũthingo, na akĩmĩirigĩra na thingo cia hinya.
10 He built towers in the wilderness, and dug out many cisterns, for he had much livestock, both in the lowlands and in the plains. He had farmers and vineyard keepers in the mountains and in the fruitful fields, for he loved farming.
Ningĩ agĩaka mĩthiringo mĩraihu na igũrũ kũu werũ-inĩ na akĩenja ithima nyingĩ, nĩ ũndũ aarĩ na mahiũ maingĩ kũu mũhuro-inĩ wa irĩma, o na kũu werũ wa irĩma-inĩ. Aarĩ na andũ maarutaga wĩra mĩgũnda-inĩ yake ya irio na ya mĩthabibũ kũu irĩma-inĩ o na mĩgũnda-inĩ ĩrĩa mĩnoru, tondũ nĩendete ũrĩmi.
11 Moreover Uzziah had an army of fighting men who went out to war by bands, according to the number of their reckoning made by Jeiel the scribe and Maaseiah the officer, under the hand of Hananiah, one of the king’s captains.
Uzia aarĩ na mbũtũ ya ita ĩrĩa yarutĩtwo wega mũno, na yakoragwo ĩĩhaarĩirie gũthiĩ mbaara-inĩ, ĩgayanĩtio ikundi kũringana na mũigana wayo na kũringana na ũrĩa yacookanĩrĩirio nĩ Jeieli ũrĩa warĩ mwandĩki na Maaseia ũrĩa warĩ mũnene wao, matongoretio nĩ Hanania, ũmwe wa anene a nyũmba ya ũthamaki.
12 The whole number of the heads of fathers’ households, even the mighty men of valour, was two thousand and six hundred.
Naguo mũigana wothe wa atongoria a nyũmba arĩa maarũgamagĩrĩra thigari warĩ 2,600.
13 Under their hand was an army, three hundred and seven thousand and five hundred, who made war with mighty power, to help the king against the enemy.
Wathani-inĩ wao haarĩ na mbũtũ ya ita ya andũ 307,500 arĩa maarutĩtwo ũhoro wa mbaara, mbũtũ ĩyo yarĩ na hinya na nĩyo yateithagia mũthamaki akĩrũa na thũ ciake.
14 Uzziah prepared for them, even for all the army, shields, spears, helmets, coats of mail, bows, and stones for slinging.
Uzia nĩaheire mbũtũ ĩyo yake ya ita ngo, na matimũ, na ngũbia, na nguo cia igera, na mota na mahiga ma igũtha.
15 In Jerusalem, he made devices, invented by skilful men, to be on the towers and on the battlements, with which to shoot arrows and great stones. His name spread far abroad, because he was marvellously helped until he was strong.
Kũu Jerusalemu-rĩ, andũ maarĩ oogĩ mũno magĩthondeka ikaari ciahũthagĩrwo mĩthiringo-inĩ na koine-inĩ cia ũgitĩri na njĩra ya gũikia mĩguĩ na gũikia mahiga manene. Ngumo yake ĩkĩhunja kũndũ kũraya nĩgũkorwo nĩateithirio mũno nginya akĩgĩa na hinya mũno.
16 But when he was strong, his heart was lifted up, so that he did corruptly and he trespassed against the LORD his God, for he went into the LORD’s temple to burn incense on the altar of incense.
No thuutha wa Uzia kũgĩa na hinya-rĩ, gwĩtũũgĩria gwake gũkĩmũniina. Akĩaga gũtuĩka mwĩhokeku harĩ Jehova Ngai wake, na agĩtoonya hekarũ ya Jehova nĩguo acine ũbumba kĩgongona-inĩ kĩa ũbumba.
17 Azariah the priest went in after him, and with him eighty priests of the LORD, who were valiant men.
Nake Azaria ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai hamwe na athĩnjĩri-Ngai omĩrĩru mĩrongo ĩnana a Jehova, makĩmuuma thuutha o nginya na kũu thĩinĩ.
18 They resisted Uzziah the king, and said to him, “It isn’t for you, Uzziah, to burn incense to the LORD, but for the priests the sons of Aaron, who are consecrated to burn incense. Go out of the sanctuary, for you have trespassed. It will not be for your honour from the LORD God.”
Nao makĩmũngʼethera mamũkaanie, makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Gũtiagĩrĩire, wee Uzia, ũcinĩre Jehova ũbumba. Ũcio nĩ wĩra wa athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa marĩ a rũciaro rwa Harũni, arĩa maamũrĩtwo macinage ũbumba. Uma handũ haha haamũre nĩgũkorwo ndũrĩ mwĩhokeku, na Jehova Ngai ndangĩgũtĩĩa.”
19 Then Uzziah was angry. He had a censer in his hand to burn incense, and while he was angry with the priests, the leprosy broke out on his forehead before the priests in the LORD’s house, beside the altar of incense.
Uzia, ũrĩa wanyiitĩte rũgĩo na guoko ehaarĩirie gũcina ũbumba, akĩrakara mũno. Na o hĩndĩ ĩyo aagũthũkagĩra athĩnjĩri-Ngai marĩ hau mbere ya kĩgongona kĩa ũbumba, hekarũ-inĩ ya Jehova, mũrimũ wa mangũ ũgĩtuthũka thiithi-inĩ wake.
20 Azariah the chief priest and all the priests looked at him, and behold, he was leprous in his forehead; and they thrust him out quickly from there. Indeed, he himself also hurried to go out, because the LORD had struck him.
Na rĩrĩa Azaria, mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũrĩa mũnene na athĩnjĩri-Ngai acio angĩ othe maamũrorire-rĩ, makĩona atĩ aarĩ na mangũ thiithi; nĩ ũndũ ũcio makĩmuumia na nja na ihenya. O nake we mwene nĩaiguaga kwenda mũno kuuma nja, nĩ ũndũ Jehova nĩamũhũũrĩte na mũrimũ ũcio.
21 Uzziah the king was a leper to the day of his death, and lived in a separate house, being a leper; for he was cut off from the LORD’s house. Jotham his son was over the king’s house, judging the people of the land.
Mũthamaki Uzia aatũũrire arĩ na mangũ nginya rĩrĩa aakuire. Aatũũrire nyũmba arĩ wiki, arĩ na mangũ, na agirĩtio gũthiiaga hekarũ ya Jehova. Mũriũ Jothamu akĩrũgamĩrĩra nyũmba ya ũthamaki, na agaathaga andũ a bũrũri ũcio.
22 Now the rest of the acts of Uzziah, first and last, Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, wrote.
Namo maũndũ marĩa mangĩ makoniĩ wathani wa Uzia-rĩ, kuuma kĩambĩrĩria nginya mũthia, nĩmandĩkĩtwo nĩ mũnabii Isaia mũrũ wa Amozu.
23 So Uzziah slept with his fathers; and they buried him with his fathers in the field of burial which belonged to the kings, for they said, “He is a leper.” Jotham his son reigned in his place.
Nake Uzia akĩhurũka hamwe na maithe make, na agĩthikwo hakuhĩ nao gĩthaka-inĩ kĩrĩa kĩarĩ gĩa gũthikanwo gĩa athamaki, nĩgũkorwo andũ moigire atĩrĩ, “Ararĩ na mangũ.” Nake mũriũ Jothamu agĩtuĩka mũthamaki ithenya rĩake.
