2 Istwa 26
1 Tout pèp Juda a te pran Ozias, ki te genyen laj a sèzan e te fè li wa nan plas a papa li, Amatsia.
Then all the people of Judah took Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in place of his father Amaziah.
2 Li te bati Élath e te restore li pou Juda apre wa a te dòmi avèk zansèt li yo.
He was the builder of Eloth, which he got back for Judah after the death of the king.
3 Ozias te gen sèzan lè l te devni wa a, e li te renye pandan senkann-dezan Jérusalem. Non manman li te Jecolia, de Jérusalem.
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 Li te fè sa ki bon nan zye a SENYÈ a selon tout sa ke papa li, Amatsia te konn fè.
He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, as his father Amaziah had done.
5 Li te kontinye chache Bondye nan tout jou a Zacharie yo, ki te gen konprann selon vizyon Bondye. Pandan tout tan li t ap chache SENYÈ a, Bondye te fè l reyisi.
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 Alò, li te sòti pou fè lagè kont Filisten yo. Li te kraze miray a Gath la, miray a Jabné a, miray a Asdod la, e li te bati vil nan anviwon Asdod pami Filisten yo.
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 Bondye te ede li kont Filisten yo, e kont Arab ki te rete Gur-Baal yo, avèk Maonit yo.
And God gave him help against the Philistines, and against the Arabians living in Gur-baal, and against the Meunim.
8 Anplis, Amonit yo te peye taks obligatwa a Ozias, e rekonesans li te rive jis nan lizyè Égypte. Li te vin pwisan anpil.
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 Anplis, Ozias te bati fò Jérusalem yo nan Pòtay Kwen an, nan Pòtay Vale a ak nan kwen pilye a pou ranfòse yo toujou.
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 Li te bati fò nan dezè yo, e li te fouye anpil sitèn, paske li te gen anpil bèt, ni nan ba plèn nan, ni nan gran plèn nan. Anplis, li te genyen labourè chan yo avèk moun pou pran swen chan rezen nan peyi ti kolin yo ak nan chan bon tè yo, paske li te renmen latè anpil.
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 Anplis, Ozias te gen yon lame parèt pou batay, ki te antre nan konba a pa divizyon yo selon nimewo pa yo, prepare pa Jeïel, sekretè a, avèk Maaséja, ofisye a, anba direksyon a Hanania, youn nan ofisye wa yo.
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 Nonb total a chèf lakay yo, a gèrye plen kouraj yo te de-mil-sis-san.
The heads of families, the strong men of war, were two thousand, six hundred.
13 Anba direksyon pa yo, te gen yon lame elit de twa-san-sèt-mil-senk-san ki te kapab fè lagè avèk gwo pouvwa, pou bay wa a soutyen kont lènmi an.
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 Anplis, Ozias te prepare pou tout lame a boukliye defans yo, lans yo, kas yo, abiman defans kò yo, banza yo ak wòch fistibal yo.
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 Nan Jérusalem, li te fè gwo machin lagè envante pa moun gwo kapasite pou plase sou fò yo pou tire flèch avèk gwo wòch. Pou tout sa, rekonesans li te gaye byen lwen, paske li te resevwa gwo èd jiskaske li te vin byen pwisan.
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 Men lè l te vin fò, kè li te vin plen ògèy. Li te aji konwonpi. Li pa t fidèl a SENYÈ a, Bondye li a, paske li te antre nan tanp SENYÈ a pou brile lansan sou lotèl lansan an.
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 Konsa, Azaria, prèt la, te antre dèyè li avèk katreven prèt SENYÈ a, mesye ki te plen kouraj.
And Azariah the priest went in after him, with eighty of the Lord's priests, who were strong men;
18 Yo te konfwonte Ozias, wa a. Yo te di li: “Se pa ou menm, Ozias, ki pou brile lansan a SENYÈ a, men se prèt yo, fis a Aaron ki konsakre pou brile lansan. Sòti nan sanktyè a, paske ou gen tò, e ou p ap twouve lonè devan SENYÈ a, Bondye a.”
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 Men Ozias, avèk veso lansanswa nan men l pou brile lansan an, te anraje. Konsa, pandan li te anraje avèk prèt yo, lalèp te pete sou fon li devan prèt yo lakay SENYÈ a, akote lotèl lansan an.
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 Azaria, chèf prèt la avèk tout lòt prèt yo te gade li, e vwala, li te gen lalèp sou fon li. Konsa, yo te fè l sòti la byen vit, e li menm tou te fè vit pou sòti akoz SENYÈ a te frape li.
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 Wa Ozias te rete yon moun lalèp jis rive nan jou li te mouri an. Li te rete nan yon kay apa, akoz lalèp la, paske li te entèdi antre lakay SENYÈ a. Jotham, fis li a, te lakay wa a pou te jije pèp peyi a.
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 Alò, tout rès a zèv Ozias yo, soti nan premye a jis rive nan dènye a, pwofèt Ésaïe, fis a Amots la, te ekri yo.
Now the rest of the acts of Uzziah, first and last, were recorded by Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz.
23 Konsa, Ozias te dòmi avèk zansèt li yo, e yo te antere li avèk papa zansèt li yo nan chan akote tonm ki te pou wa yo, paske yo te di: “Li gen lalèp”. Epi Jotham, fis li a, te devni wa nan plas li.
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.
