< Kronika 2 26 >
1 Yuda blibo la tsɔ Uzia, ame si xɔ ƒe wuiade la ɖo fiae ɖe fofoa, Amazia, teƒe.
Ngakho bonke abantu bakoJuda bathatha u-Uziya, owayeleminyaka elitshumi lesithupha ubudala, bambeka waba yinkosi esikhundleni sikayise u-Amaziya.
2 Le fofoa Amazia ƒe ku megbe la, egbugbɔ Elat du la tu eye wògbugbɔe xɔ na Yuda.
Nguye owakha kutsha umuzi we-Elathi wawubuyisela koJuda ngemva kokufa kwenkosi u-Amaziya owangcwatshwa kubokhokho bakhe.
3 Uzia xɔ ƒe wuiade esi wòzu fia eye wòɖu dzi le Yerusalem ƒe blaatɔ̃ vɔ eve. Dadaa ŋkɔe nye Yekolia tso Yerusalem.
U-Uziya wayeleminyaka elitshumi lesithupha ubudala ekubeni kwakhe yinkosi njalo wabusa eJerusalema okweminyaka engamatshumi amahlanu lambili. Ibizo likanina linguJekholiya; evela eJerusalema.
4 Azaria nye fia nyui aɖe eye Yehowa kpɔ ŋudzedze le eŋu abe ale si wòkpɔe le fofoa, Amazia, ŋu ene
Wenza okulungileyo phambi kukaThixo, njengalokhu okwakwenziwe nguyise u-Amaziya.
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.
Wazimisela ukumdinga uNkulunkulu ngezinsuku zikaZakhariya, owamfundisa ukumesaba uNkulunkulu. Esamlandela uThixo, uNkulunkulu wamphumelelisa.
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.
Waphuma impi wayakulwa lamaFilistiya wadiliza imiduli yaseGathi, laseJabhine lase-Ashidodi. Wasesakha kutsha imizi eseduzane le-Ashidodi leminye kwezinye iziqinti phakathi kwamaFilistiya.
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.
UNkulunkulu wayelaye ekuhlaseleni kwakhe amaFilistiya kanye lama-Arabhu ayehlala eGuri Bhali kanye lekuhlaseleni amaMewuni.
8 Amonitɔwo dzɔa nu nɛ ƒe sia ƒe eye eƒe ŋkɔ ɖi hoo yi keke Egipte ke elabena enye fia ŋusẽtɔ aɖe.
Ama-Amoni aletha umthelo wawo ku-Uziya, udumo lwakhe lwanda lasemingceleni kusiyafika eGibhithe, ngoba wayeselamandla amakhulu.
9 Etu xɔ tsralawo ɖe Yerusalem le Dzigbegbo kple Balimegbo la nu kple afi si gli la glɔ̃ mɔ le eye wòglã wo.
U-Uziya wakha imiphotshongo eJerusalema ngaseSangweni leNgosi langaseSangweni leSigodi langasengosini yomduli, wayivikela ngezinqaba.
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.
Wakha njalo imiphotshongo enkangala, wemba imithombo eminengi, ngoba wayefuyile elemihlambi yezifuyo emawatheni amaqaqa lasemagcekeni. Wayelabantu bokulima lababesezivinini emaqaqeni lasemhlabeni ovundileyo, ngoba wayethanda ukulima.
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.
U-Uziya wayelamabutho ayekwazi ukulwa ebuthwe ngamaviyo ayeqoqwe nguJeyiyeli umabhalane loMaseya isikhulu esasiqondiswa nguHananiya, omunye wezikhulu zomndlunkulu.
12 Hlɔ̃wo ƒe tatɔwo akpe eve alafa ade nɔ aʋalɔglo siawo nu.
Inani labakhokheli lonke ngezimuli emadodeni okulwa lalizinkulungwane ezimbili lamakhulu ayisithupha.
13 Aʋawɔla xɔŋkɔ akpe alafa etɔ̃ kple adre kple alafa atɔ̃ nɔ aʋakɔ la me.
Babelawula ibutho elilamadoda abazinkulungwane ezingamakhulu amathathu lesikhombisa lamakhulu amahlanu ayefundele ukulwa, amaviyo alamandla okuhlomulela inkosi ezitheni zayo.
14 Uzia na akpoxɔnuwo, akplɔwo, gakukuwo, gawuwo, datiwo kple akafomekpewo wo.
U-Uziya wahlomisa amabutho akhe wonke ngezihlangu, imikhonto, ingowane zensimbi lamabhatshi ensimbi, lemitshoko lamatshe ezavutha.
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.
EJerusalema wakhandisa imitshina yokufutha imitshoko leyokujikijela amatshe amakhulu ayikhandisa emadodeni ayezingcitshi eyayisetshenziswa emiphotshongweni esemajikweni. Udumo lwakhe lwanda lwayafika kude, ngoba wancediswa kakhulu waze waba lamandla amakhulu kakhulu.
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.
Kodwa kwathi u-Uziya eselamandla amakhulu, ukuziqhenya kwakhe kwamlethela incithakalo. Kazange athembeke kuThixo uNkulunkulu wakhe, waze wangena ethempelini likaThixo, ukuba ayetshisa impepha e-alithareni lempepha.
17 Azaria, nunɔla la kple Yehowa ƒe nunɔla dzideƒotɔ blaenyi, bubu kplɔe ɖo ge ɖe eme.
U-Azariya umphristi labanye abaphristi bakaThixo abangamatshumi ayisificaminwembili abalezibindi bamlandela phakathi ethempelini.
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.”
Bajamelana laye bathi kuye, “Akulunganga ukuthi wena, Uziya, utshisele uThixo impepha. Lokho ngokwabaphristi, abenzalo ka-Aroni, abehlukaniselwa ukutshisa impepha. Phuma kulindawo engcwele, ngoba awuzange wethembeke, njalo awuyikuphakanyiswa nguThixo uNkulunkulu.”
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.
U-Uziya owayephethe udengezi lokutshisela impepha esandleni sakhe, wathukuthela. Uthe elokhu esakhwazela abaphristi ngoba kwabo phambi kwe-alithari lempepha ethempelini likaThixo, kwaqalisa ubulephero ebunzini lobuso bakhe.
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.
Kwathi u-Azariya umphristi omkhulu labanye abaphristi bemkhangela, babona eselobulephero ebunzini lakhe, ngakho baphanga bamkhuphela phandle. Lakanye yena ngokwakhe wayevele esefisa ukuphuma, ngoba uThixo wayesemtshayile.
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.
U-Uziya inkosi waba lobulephero kwaze kwaba lilanga lakhe lokufa. Wayesehlala endlini yakhe eyayimi yodwa ngoba elobulephero njalo engasavunyelwa ethempelini likaThixo. UJothamu indodana yakhe yaphatha isigodlo njalo yaphatha abantu bonke belizwe.
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.
Ezinye izehlakalo zombuso ka-Uziya, kusukela ekuqaleni kuze kube sekucineni, zilotshwe ngumphrofethi u-Isaya indodana ka-Amozi.
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.
U-Uziya waphumula labokhokho bakhe wangcwatshwa eduze kwabo ensimini yokungcwaba eyayingeyamakhosi ngoba abantu bathi, “Wayelobulephero.” Ngakho uJothamu indodana yakhe wathatha isikhundla sakhe waba yinkosi.
