2 Maũndũ 26
1 Ningĩ andũ othe a Juda makĩoya Uzia, arĩ wa mĩaka ikũmi na ĩtandatũ, na makĩmũtua mũthamaki ithenya rĩa ithe Amazia.
Then all the people of Judah took Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in place of his father Amaziah.
2 Nĩwe waakithirie Elothu rĩngĩ, na akĩrĩcookeria Juda thuutha wa Amazia kũhurũka hamwe na maithe make.
He was the builder of Eloth, which he got back for Judah after the death of the king.
3 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.
Uzziah was sixteen years old when he became king, and he was ruling in Jerusalem for fifty-two years; his mother's name was Jechiliah of Jerusalem.
4 Nake nĩekire maũndũ marĩa maarĩ magĩrĩru maitho-inĩ ma Jehova, o ta ũrĩa ithe Amazia eekĩte.
He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, as his father Amaziah had done.
5 Nĩarongooragia Ngai matukũ-inĩ ma Zekaria, ũrĩa wamũrutĩte gwĩtigĩra Ngai. Narĩo ihinda rĩrĩa rĩothe aarongoragia Jehova-rĩ, Ngai nĩamũheaga ũgaacĩru.
He gave himself to searching after God in the days of Zechariah, who made men wise in the fear of God; and as long as he was true to the Lord, God made things go well for him.
6 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.
He went out and made war against the Philistines, pulling down the walls of Gath and Jabneh and Ashdod, and building towns in the country round Ashdod and among the Philistines.
7 Ngai akĩmũteithia kũhũũrana na Afilisti na Arabu arĩa maatũũraga Guri-Baali na Ameuni.
And God gave him help against the Philistines, and against the Arabians living in Gur-baal, and against the Meunim.
8 Aamoni nĩmarehire igooti kũrĩ Uzia, nayo ngumo yake ĩkĩhunja o nginya mũhaka wa Misiri, nĩ ũndũ nĩagĩĩte na hinya mũno.
The Ammonites gave offerings to Uzziah: and news of him went out as far as the limit of Egypt; for he became very great in power.
9 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.
Uzziah made towers in Jerusalem, at the doorway in the angle and at the doorway in the valley and at the turn of the wall, arming them.
10 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.
And he put up towers in the waste land and made places for storing water, for he had much cattle, in the low hills and in the table land; and he had farmers and vine-keepers in the mountains and in the fertile land, for he was a lover of farming.
11 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.
In addition, Uzziah had an army of fighting-men who went out to war in bands, as they had been listed by Jeiel the scribe and Maaseiah the ruler, under the authority of Hananiah, one of the king's captains.
12 Naguo mũigana wothe wa atongoria a nyũmba arĩa maarũgamagĩrĩra thigari warĩ 2,600.
The heads of families, the strong men of war, were two thousand, six hundred.
13 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.
And under their orders was a trained army of three hundred and seven thousand, five hundred, of great strength in war, helping the king against any who came against him.
14 Uzia nĩaheire mbũtũ ĩyo yake ya ita ngo, na matimũ, na ngũbia, na nguo cia igera, na mota na mahiga ma igũtha.
And Uzziah had all these forces armed with body-covers and spears and head-covers and coats of metal and bows and stones for sending from leather bands.
15 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.
And in Jerusalem he made machines, the invention of expert men, to be placed on the towers and angles of the walls for sending arrows and great stones. And his name was honoured far and wide; for he was greatly helped till he was strong.
16 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.
But when he had become strong, his heart was lifted up in pride, causing his destruction; and he did evil against the Lord his God; for he went into the Temple of the Lord for the purpose of burning perfumes on the altar of perfumes.
17 Nake Azaria ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai hamwe na athĩnjĩri-Ngai omĩrĩru mĩrongo ĩnana a Jehova, makĩmuuma thuutha o nginya na kũu thĩinĩ.
And Azariah the priest went in after him, with eighty of the Lord's priests, who were strong men;
18 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.”
And they made protests to Uzziah the king, and said to him, The burning of perfumes, Uzziah, is not your business but that of the priests, the sons of Aaron, who have been made holy for this work: go out of the holy place, for you have done wrong, and it will not be to your honour before God.
19 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.
Then Uzziah was angry; and he had in his hand a vessel for burning perfume; and while his wrath was bitter against the priests, the mark of the leper's disease came out on his brow, before the eyes of the priests in the house of the Lord by the altar of perfumes.
20 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.
And Azariah, the chief priest, and all the priests, looking at him, saw the mark of the leper on his brow, and they sent him out quickly and he himself went out straight away, for the Lord's punishment had come on him.
21 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.
So King Uzziah was a leper till the day of his death, living separately in his private house; for he was cut off from the house of God; and Jotham his son was ruling over his house, judging the people of the land.
22 Namo maũndũ marĩa mangĩ makoniĩ wathani wa Uzia-rĩ, kuuma kĩambĩrĩria nginya mũthia, nĩmandĩkĩtwo nĩ mũnabii Isaia mũrũ wa Amozu.
Now the rest of the acts of Uzziah, first and last, were recorded by Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz.
23 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.
So Uzziah went to rest with his fathers; and they put his body into the earth in the field used for the resting-place of the kings, for they said, He is a leper: and Jotham his son became king in his place.
