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 appointed his son, Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, as king in place of his father, Amaziah.
2 Nĩwe waakithirie Elothu rĩngĩ, na akĩrĩcookeria Juda thuutha wa Amazia kũhurũka hamwe na maithe make.
He built up Eloth, and he restored it to the dominion of Judah. After this, the king slept with his fathers.
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 had begun to reign. And he reigned for fifty-two years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Jecoliah, from Jerusalem.
4 Nake nĩekire maũndũ marĩa maarĩ magĩrĩru maitho-inĩ ma Jehova, o ta ũrĩa ithe Amazia eekĩte.
And he did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, in accord with all that 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.
And he sought the Lord, during the days of Zechariah, who understood and saw God. And while he was seeking the Lord, he directed him in all things.
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.
Indeed, he went out and fought against the Philistines. And he destroyed the wall of Gath, and the wall of Jabneh, and the wall of Ashdod. Also, he built towns in Ashdod, and among the Philistines.
7 Ngai akĩmũteithia kũhũũrana na Afilisti na Arabu arĩa maatũũraga Guri-Baali na Ameuni.
And God helped him against the Philistines, and against the Arabians, who were living in Gurbaal, and against the Ammonites.
8 Aamoni nĩmarehire igooti kũrĩ Uzia, nayo ngumo yake ĩkĩhunja o nginya mũhaka wa Misiri, nĩ ũndũ nĩagĩĩte na hinya mũno.
And the Ammonites weighed out gifts to Uzziah. And his name became widely known, even to the entrance of Egypt, because of his frequent victories.
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.
And Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem, above the gate of the corner, and above the gate of the valley, and others on the same side of the wall, and he fortified 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.
Then he also constructed towers in the wilderness, and dug many cisterns, because he had much cattle, both in the plains and in the starkness of the wilderness. Also, he had vineyards and dressers of vines in the mountains and at Carmel. Certainly, he was a man devoted to agriculture.
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.
Now the army of his warriors, who would go forth to battle, was under the hand of Jeiel, the scribe, and Maaseiah, the teacher, and under the hand of Hananiah, who was among the king’s commanders.
12 Naguo mũigana wothe wa atongoria a nyũmba arĩa maarũgamagĩrĩra thigari warĩ 2,600.
And the entire number of the leaders, by the families of strong men, was 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 the entire army under them was three hundred and seven thousand five hundred, who were fit for war, and who fought on behalf of the king against the adversaries.
14 Uzia nĩaheire mbũtũ ĩyo yake ya ita ngo, na matimũ, na ngũbia, na nguo cia igera, na mota na mahiga ma igũtha.
Also, Uzziah prepared for them, that is, for the entire army, shields, and spears, and helmets, and breastplates, and bows, as well as slings for the casting of stones.
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 various kinds of machines, which he placed in the towers, and at the corners of the walls, so as to shoot arrows and large stones. And his name went forth to far away places, for the Lord was helping him and had strengthened him.
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, even to his own destruction. And he neglected the Lord his God. And entering into the temple of the Lord, he intended to burn incense upon the altar of incense.
17 Nake Azaria ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai hamwe na athĩnjĩri-Ngai omĩrĩru mĩrongo ĩnana a Jehova, makĩmuuma thuutha o nginya na kũu thĩinĩ.
And entering immediately after him, Azariah the priest, and with him eighty priests of the Lord, very valiant 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.”
withstood the king, and they said: “It is not your office, Uzziah, to burn incense to the Lord; rather, it is the office of the priests, that is, of the sons of Aaron, who have been consecrated for this same ministry. Depart from the sanctuary, otherwise you will be in contempt. For this act will not be reputed to you for your glory by the Lord 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.
And Uzziah, having become angry, while holding in his hand the censer so that he might burn incense, threatened the priests. And immediately a leprosy arose on his forehead, in the sight of the priests, in the house of the Lord, at the altar of incense.
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 when the high priest Azariah, and all the rest of the priests, had gazed upon him, they saw the leprosy on his forehead, and they hurried to expel him. Then too, he himself, becoming terrified, rushed to depart, because immediately he had become aware of the wound of the Lord.
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.
And so, king Uzziah was a leper, even until the day of his death. And he lived in a separate house, being full of leprosy, because of which he had been ejected from the house of the Lord. Then Jotham, his son, directed the house of the king, and he was 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.
But the rest of the words of Uzziah, the first and the last, were written by the prophet Isaiah, 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.
And Uzziah slept with his fathers. And they buried him in the field of the royal sepulchers, because he was a leper. And Jotham, his son, reigned in his place.
