Kronika 2 26
1 Yuda blibo la tsɔ Uzia, ame si xɔ ƒe wuiade la ɖo fiae ɖe fofoa, Amazia, teƒe.
All the people of Judah took Uzziah, sixteen years old, and made him king in succession to his father Amaziah.
2 Le fofoa Amazia ƒe ku megbe la, egbugbɔ Elat du la tu eye wògbugbɔe xɔ na Yuda.
He rebuilt Eloth and brought it back into the kingdom of Judah after Amaziah died.
3 Uzia xɔ ƒe wuiade esi wòzu fia eye wòɖu dzi le Yerusalem ƒe blaatɔ̃ vɔ eve. Dadaa ŋkɔe nye Yekolia tso Yerusalem.
Uzziah was sixteen when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for fifty-two years. His mother's name was Jecoliah and she came from Jerusalem.
4 Azaria nye fia nyui aɖe eye Yehowa kpɔ ŋudzedze le eŋu abe ale si wòkpɔe le fofoa, Amazia, ŋu ene
He did what was right in the Lord's sight as his father Amaziah had done.
5 Le Zekaria ƒe agbenɔɣi la, Uzia dina ɣe sia ɣi be yeadze Mawu ŋu. Zaxarya nye ame si kpɔa ɖeɖefia tɔxɛwo tsoa Mawu gbɔ. Ŋkeke ale si fia la zɔ le Mawu ƒe ɖoɖowo nu ko la, nuwo dze edzi nɛ elabena Mawu yrae.
He worshiped God during the lifetime of Zechariah, who taught him to respect God. As long as he followed the Lord, God made him successful.
6 Eho aʋa ɖe Filistitɔwo ŋu eye wòɖu Gat kple Yabne kple Asdod dzi eye wòmu woƒe gliwo ƒu anyi. Etso du yeyewo ɖe Asdod nutomewo kple teƒe bubuwo le Filistitɔwo ƒe anyigba dzi.
Uzziah went to war against the Philistines, and he demolished the walls of Gath, Jabneh, and Ashdod. Then he built cities around Ashdod and in other Philistine areas.
7 Mawu kpe ɖe eŋu, menye le aʋawɔwɔ kple Filistitɔwo ɖeɖe ko me o, ke boŋ le aʋa siwo wòwɔ kple Gur Baal ƒe Arabiatɔwo kple Meunitɔwo hã me.
God helped him against the Philistines, against the Arabians living in Gurbaal, and against the Meunites.
8 Amonitɔwo dzɔa nu nɛ ƒe sia ƒe eye eƒe ŋkɔ ɖi hoo yi keke Egipte ke elabena enye fia ŋusẽtɔ aɖe.
The Meunites brought gifts as tribute to Uzziah. His reputation spread as far as the border of Egypt, for he became very powerful.
9 Etu xɔ tsralawo ɖe Yerusalem le Dzigbegbo kple Balimegbo la nu kple afi si gli la glɔ̃ mɔ le eye wòglã wo.
Uzziah built defensive towers in Jerusalem at the Corner Gate and the Valley Gate, and at the corner, and strengthened them.
10 Etu mɔwo ɖe Negeb hã eye wòɖe vudo geɖewo elabena lãha geɖewo nɔ esi le balimewo kple gbadzaƒewo. Agbledede doa dzidzɔ nɛ ale agble kple waingble geɖewo nɔ esi, le toawo ŋu kple balime afi si nukuwo nyona le nyuie.
He also built towers in the desert and cut many water cisterns out of the rock, because he had a great deal of livestock in the foothills and on the plains. He had farmers and vineyard workers in the hills and in the fertile lowlands, for he loved the soil.
11 Ema eƒe aʋakɔ la ɖe aʋalɔglowo me eye wòde amewo wo me abe ale si Yeiel, aʋakɔ la ƒe nuŋlɔla kple eƒe kpeɖeŋutɔ Maaseya, ɖoe da ɖi ene. Aʋafia gã lae nye aʋakplɔla Hananiya.
Uzziah had an army of battle-ready soldiers, in divisions according to the numbers in the listing made by Jeiel the secretary and Maaseiah the official, under the direction of Hananiah, one of the king's commanders.
12 Hlɔ̃wo ƒe tatɔwo akpe eve alafa ade nɔ aʋalɔglo siawo nu.
The total number of family leaders was 2,600 fighting men.
13 Aʋawɔla xɔŋkɔ akpe alafa etɔ̃ kple adre kple alafa atɔ̃ nɔ aʋakɔ la me.
Under their command was an army of 307,500 trained for battle, who had the power to help the king fight against the enemy.
14 Uzia na akpoxɔnuwo, akplɔwo, gakukuwo, gawuwo, datiwo kple akafomekpewo wo.
Uzziah supplied shields, spears, helmets, armor, bows, and slingstones for the whole army.
15 Ena nunyala aɖe wɔ aʋawɔmɔ aɖewo le Yerusalem, aʋawɔmɔ siawo tea ŋu daa aŋutrɔwo kple kpe gãwo tso xɔ kɔkɔwo kple xɔwo tame. Ale eƒe ŋkɔ de dzi ŋutɔ elabena Yehowa kpe ɖe eŋu nukutɔe va se ɖe esime wòzu fia ŋusẽtɔ gã aɖe.
He also made skillfully designed war machines to fire arrows and large stones from the towers and corners of the wall. His reputation spread far and wide, for he received extraordinary help until he became really powerful.
16 Ke esi ŋusẽ ɖo Uzia ŋu vɔ megbe la, dada si nɔ eme la na wòdze anyi. Meɖi anukware na Yehowa, eƒe Mawu la o, ke boŋ ege ɖe Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la me be yeado dzudzɔ le dzudzɔʋeʋĩdovɔsamlekpui la dzi.
But because he was powerful he became arrogant, and this sled to his ruin. For he was unfaithful to the Lord his God, and he himself entered the Lord's Temple to burn incense on the altar of incense.
17 Azaria, nunɔla la kple Yehowa ƒe nunɔla dzideƒotɔ blaenyi, bubu kplɔe ɖo ge ɖe eme.
Azariah the priest went in after him, with eighty brave priests of the Lord.
18 Wotɔ gbee gblɔ be, “Medze be wò, Uzia, nàdo dzudzɔ ʋeʋĩ na Yehowa o. Nunɔlawo ƒe dɔe, Aron ƒe dzidzimeviwo, ame siwo ŋu wokɔ be woado dzudzɔ ʋeʋĩ. Do go le Kɔkɔeƒe la elabena mèwɔ nuteƒe o eye Yehowa Mawu made bubu ŋuwò o.”
They stood up to him, and told him, “It's not your place to burn incense to the Lord. Only the priests, the descendants of Aaron, who have been set apart as holy may burn incense. Get out of the sanctuary, for you have sinned, and the Lord God will not bless you.”
19 Uzia, ame si lé dzudzɔdonu ɖe asi eye wònɔ klalo be yeado dzudzɔ la, do dɔmedzoe vevie. Esi wònɔ dziku dom ɖe nunɔlaawo ŋu, le wo ŋkume, le Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la ƒe dzudzɔʋeʋĩdovɔsamlekpui la ŋgɔ la, kpodɔ dze eƒe ŋgonu zi ɖeka.
Uzziah, who was holding a censer in his hand to offer incense, became furious. But as he raged at the priests in the Lord's Temple in front of the altar of incense, leprosy appeared on his forehead.
20 Esi nunɔlagã Azaria kple nunɔla bubuawo katã nye kɔ kpɔe la, wokpɔ be edze kpodɔ ɖe ŋgonu eya ta wonyae do goe enumake le gbedoxɔ la me. Le nyateƒe me la, eya ŋutɔ hã tsi dzi na dodo elabena Yehowa ƒoe vevie.
When Azariah the chief priest and all the priests looked at him and saw the leprosy on his forehead, they rushed him out. In fact he too was in a hurry to leave, because the Lord had struck him.
21 Ale Fia Uzia dze kpodɔ va se ɖe eƒe kugbe. Kpodɔ la nɔ eŋu, woɖee ɖe aga ɖe aƒe aɖe me eye womeɖe mɔ nɛ be wòagava Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ me o. Via, Yotam zu fiateƒenɔla le fiasã la me eye wòɖu ame siwo nɔ anyigba la dzi la dzi.
King Uzziah was a leper until the day he died. He lived by himself as a leper, barred from entering the Lord's Temple, while his son Jotham was placed in charge or the king's affairs and governed the country.
22 Nu bubu siwo dzɔ le Uzia ƒe fiaɖuɣi, tso gɔmedzedzea va se ɖe nuwuwu la, Nyagblɔdila Yesaya, Amoz ƒe vi ŋlɔ wo katã da ɖi.
The rest of what Uzziah did, from beginning to end, was written down by the prophet Isaiah, son of Amoz.
23 Uzia ku eye woɖii ɖe abɔ si me woɖia fiawo ɖo la gbɔ elabena ameawo gblɔ be, “Edze kpodɔ.” Ke via Yotam ɖu fia ɖe eteƒe.
Uzziah died and was buried near them in a cemetery belonging to the kings, for people said, “He was a leper.” His son Jotham took over as king.
