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.
All the people of Judah took Uzziah, sixteen years old, and made him king in succession to his father Amaziah.
2 Li te bati Élath e te restore li pou Juda apre wa a te dòmi avèk zansèt li yo.
He rebuilt Eloth and brought it back into the kingdom of Judah after Amaziah died.
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 when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for fifty-two years. His mother's name was Jecoliah and she came from 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 Lord's sight 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 worshiped God during the lifetime of Zechariah, who taught him to respect God. As long as he followed the Lord, God made him successful.
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.
Uzziah went to war against the Philistines, and he demolished the walls of Gath, Jabneh, and Ashdod. Then he built cities around Ashdod and in other Philistine areas.
7 Bondye te ede li kont Filisten yo, e kont Arab ki te rete Gur-Baal yo, avèk Maonit yo.
God helped him against the Philistines, against the Arabians living in Gurbaal, and against the Meunites.
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 Meunites brought gifts as tribute to Uzziah. His reputation spread as far as the border of Egypt, for he became very powerful.
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 built defensive towers in Jerusalem at the Corner Gate and the Valley Gate, and at the corner, and strengthened 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.
He also built towers in the desert and cut many water cisterns out of the rock, because he had a great deal of livestock in the foothills and on the plains. He had farmers and vineyard workers in the hills and in the fertile lowlands, for he loved the soil.
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.
Uzziah had an army of battle-ready soldiers, in divisions according to the numbers in the listing made by Jeiel the secretary and Maaseiah the official, under the direction of Hananiah, one of the king's commanders.
12 Nonb total a chèf lakay yo, a gèrye plen kouraj yo te de-mil-sis-san.
The total number of family leaders was 2,600 fighting men.
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.
Under their command was an army of 307,500 trained for battle, who had the power to help the king fight against the enemy.
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.
Uzziah supplied shields, spears, helmets, armor, bows, and slingstones for the whole army.
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.
He also made skillfully designed war machines to fire arrows and large stones from the towers and corners of the wall. His reputation spread far and wide, for he received extraordinary help until he became really powerful.
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 because he was powerful he became arrogant, and this sled to his ruin. For he was unfaithful to the Lord his God, and he himself entered the Lord's Temple to burn incense on the altar of incense.
17 Konsa, Azaria, prèt la, te antre dèyè li avèk katreven prèt SENYÈ a, mesye ki te plen kouraj.
Azariah the priest went in after him, with eighty brave priests of the Lord.
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.”
They stood up to him, and told him, “It's not your place to burn incense to the Lord. Only the priests, the descendants of Aaron, who have been set apart as holy may burn incense. Get out of the sanctuary, for you have sinned, and the Lord God will not bless you.”
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.
Uzziah, who was holding a censer in his hand to offer incense, became furious. But as he raged at the priests in the Lord's Temple in front of the altar of incense, leprosy appeared on his forehead.
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.
When Azariah the chief priest and all the priests looked at him and saw the leprosy on his forehead, they rushed him out. In fact he too was in a hurry to leave, because the Lord had struck 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.
King Uzziah was a leper until the day he died. He lived by himself as a leper, barred from entering the Lord's Temple, while his son Jotham was placed in charge or the king's affairs and governed the country.
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.
The rest of what Uzziah did, from beginning to end, was written down by the prophet Isaiah, 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.
Uzziah died and was buried near them in a cemetery belonging to the kings, for people said, “He was a leper.” His son Jotham took over as king.
