Kronika 2 26
1 Yuda blibo la tsɔ Uzia, ame si xɔ ƒe wuiade la ɖo fiae ɖe fofoa, Amazia, teƒe.
THEN all the people of Judah took Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in the room of his father Amaziah.
2 Le fofoa Amazia ƒe ku megbe la, egbugbɔ Elat du la tu eye wògbugbɔe xɔ na Yuda.
He built Eloth, and restored it to Judah, after that the king slept with his fathers.
3 Uzia xɔ ƒe wuiade esi wòzu fia eye wòɖu dzi le Yerusalem ƒe blaatɔ̃ vɔ eve. Dadaa ŋkɔe nye Yekolia tso Yerusalem.
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.
4 Azaria nye fia nyui aɖe eye Yehowa kpɔ ŋudzedze le eŋu abe ale si wòkpɔe le fofoa, Amazia, ŋu ene
And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his father Amaziah did.
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.
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.
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.
And he went forth and warred against the Philistines, and brake down the wall of Gath, and the wall of Jabneh, and the wall of Ashdod, and built cities about Ashdod, and among the Philistines.
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.
And God helped him against the Philistines, and against the Arabians that dwelt in Gur-baal, and the Mehunims.
8 Amonitɔwo dzɔa nu nɛ ƒe sia ƒe eye eƒe ŋkɔ ɖi hoo yi keke Egipte ke elabena enye fia ŋusẽtɔ aɖe.
And the Ammonites gave gifts to Uzziah: and his name spread abroad even to the entering in of Egypt; for he strengthened himself exceedingly.
9 Etu xɔ tsralawo ɖe Yerusalem le Dzigbegbo kple Balimegbo la nu kple afi si gli la glɔ̃ mɔ le eye wòglã wo.
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.
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.
Also he built towers in the desert, and digged many wells: for he had much 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.
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.
Moreover Uzziah had an host 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.
12 Hlɔ̃wo ƒe tatɔwo akpe eve alafa ade nɔ aʋalɔglo siawo nu.
The whole number of the chief of the fathers of the mighty men of valour were two thousand and six hundred.
13 Aʋawɔla xɔŋkɔ akpe alafa etɔ̃ kple adre kple alafa atɔ̃ nɔ aʋakɔ la me.
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.
14 Uzia na akpoxɔnuwo, akplɔwo, gakukuwo, gawuwo, datiwo kple akafomekpewo wo.
And Uzziah prepared for them throughout all the host shields, and spears, and helmets, and habergeons, and bows, and slings to cast stones.
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.
And he made in Jerusalem engines, invented by cunning men, to be on the towers and upon the bulwarks, to shoot arrows and great stones withal. And his name spread far abroad; for he was marvellously helped, till he was strong.
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 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.
17 Azaria, nunɔla la kple Yehowa ƒe nunɔla dzideƒotɔ blaenyi, bubu kplɔe ɖo ge ɖe eme.
And Azariah the priest went in after him, and with him fourscore priests of the Lord, that were valiant men:
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.”
And they withstood Uzziah the king, and said unto him, It appertaineth not unto thee, Uzziah, to burn incense unto 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 shall it be for thine honour from the Lord God.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
And Uzziah the king was a leper unto the day of his death, and dwelt in a several 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.
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.
Now the rest of the acts of Uzziah, first and last, did Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, write.
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.
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.
