II Oihanaalii 26
1 A LAILA, lalau na kanaka a pau o Iuda, ia Uzia, he umikumamaono makahiki ona, a hoalii iho la ia ia ma ka hakahaka o kona makuakane o Amazia.
All the people of Judah took Uzziah, sixteen years old, and made him king in succession to his father Amaziah.
2 Ua kukulu oia ia Elota, a hui hou ia me Iuda, a mahope iho, hiamoe iho la ke alii me kona mau makua.
He rebuilt Eloth and brought it back into the kingdom of Judah after Amaziah died.
3 He umikumamaono makahiki ko Uzia i kona wa i alii ai, a noho alii iho la ia i na makahiki ke kanalimakumamalua ma Ierusalema; a o ka inoa o kona makuwahine o Iekolia no Ierusalema.
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 Ua hana oia i ka pono imua o Iehova, e like me ka mea a kona makuakane a Amazia i hana'i.
He did what was right in the Lord's sight as his father Amaziah had done.
5 A ua imi oia i ke Akua i na la o Zekaria, ka mea ike i na akaku no ke Akua mai; a i kona wa i imi at ia Iehova, ua hoomaikai mai ke Akua ia ia.
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 A hele aku la ia a kaua aku i ko Pilisetia, a wawahi ia i ka pa o Gata, a me ka pa o Iabena, a me ka pa o Asedoda, a kukulu iho la ia i na kulanakauhale ma Asedoda, a ma Pilisetia.
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 A kokua mai ke Akua ia ia e ku e i ko Pilisetia a me ko Arabia, ka poe i noho ma Gurebaala, a me ka Mehuna.
God helped him against the Philistines, against the Arabians living in Gurbaal, and against the Meunites.
8 A haawi mai ka Amona i na makana na Uzia, a kaulana loa kona inoa a hiki i kahi e komo ai iloko o Aigupita; no ka mea, ua hooikaika nui loa iho la no ia.
The Meunites brought gifts as tribute to Uzziah. His reputation spread as far as the border of Egypt, for he became very powerful.
9 A ua kukulu o Uzia i mau hale kiai ma Ierusalema ma ka puka kihi, a ma ka puka awawa, a ma ka popoiwi o ka pa, hana oia ia mau mea a pau loa.
Uzziah built defensive towers in Jerusalem at the Corner Gate and the Valley Gate, and at the corner, and strengthened them.
10 A kukulu no hoi ia i na hale kiai ma ka waonahele, a eli iho la i na punawai he nui loa; no ka mea, nui kana poe holoholona ma ke awawa, a me ka papu; he poe mahiai no hoi kekahi, a he poe malama i ka laau waina ma na mauna, a ma Karemela; no ka mea, ua makemake oia i ka aina.
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 Aia hoi ia Uzia he poe koa, ia lakou ke kaua, a hele aku la lakou i ke kaua ma na papa malalo o Hanania kekahi luna o ke alii, e like me ka helu ana o ko lakou poe luna e Ieiela, ka mea nana e helu, a me Maaseia ka luna.
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 O ka helu ana o ka poe koikoi a pau o na makua, ka poe koa ikaika, elua tausani a me na haneri eono.
The total number of family leaders was 2,600 fighting men.
13 Malalo iho o lakou he poe koa ekolu haneri tausani. a ehiku tausani elima haneri, he poe kaua ikaika loa e kokua i ke alii i ke ku e ana i ka enemi.
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 A hoomakaukau o Uzia no lakou, no ka poe koa a pau, i na palekaua, a me na ihe, a me na aahuapoo, a me na pulikikaua, a me na kakaka, a me na maa e maa aku ai i na pohaku.
Uzziah supplied shields, spears, helmets, armor, bows, and slingstones for the whole army.
15 Hana iho la oia ma Ierusalema i na mea kaua, i na mea a ka poe noonoo i noonoo ai, i mau mea maluna o na halekiai, a ma na kihi, e hoolele i na pua, a me na pohaku nui. A ua kaulana kona inoa ma kahi loihi aku, no ka mea, ua kokua nui ia mai no ia, a ikaika loa ia.
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 A ikaika ia, alaila kiekie kona naau, a malaila ia i make ai. Hana hewa aku oia ia Iehova, i kona Akua, a komo ia iloko o ka luakini o Iehova e kuni i mea ala maluna o ke kuahu kuni mea ala.
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 Alaila, komo o Azaria, ke kahuna mahope ona, a o na kahuna o Iehova kekahi pu me ia elua kanaha, he poe ikaika:
Azariah the priest went in after him, with eighty brave priests of the Lord.
18 A ku e lakou ia Uzia i ke alii, olelo aku la lakou ia ia, Aole ia oe, e Uzia, ke kuni i mea ala ia Iehova, na ka poe kahuna no, na ka poe mamo a Aarona, ka poe i hoolaaia e kuni i ka mea ala; e hele oe iwaho o ka luakini, no ka mea, ua hana hewa oe; aole e loaa ia oe ka nani ma keia mea mai o Iehova ke Akua mai.
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 A huhu o Uzia; aia hoi ka ipuahi kuni mea ala ma kona lima; a i kona huhu ana i ka poe kahuna, poha mai ka mai lepera ma kona lae imua o na kahuna iloko o ka hale o Iehova ma ka aoao o ke kuahu kuni mea ala.
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 A nana o Azaria ke kahuna nui, a me na kahuna a pau ia ia, aia hoi, he mai lepera ma kona lae, a kipaku lakou ia ia mailaila aku; wikiwiki no hoi ia e puka iwaho, no ka mea, ua hahau mai o Iehova ia ia.
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 A he kanaka mai lepera o Uzia, ke alii a hiki i ka la o kona make ana, a noho kaawale iho la ia iloko o ka hale mai lepera, no ka mea, ua okiia oia mai ka hale o Iehova aku; a o Iotama, kana keiki, oia ka mea maluna o ka hale o ke alii e hookolokolo ana i na kanaka o ka aina.
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 A o ke koena o na hana a Uzia, ka mua a me ka hope, ua kakauia ia mau mea e Isaia, ke keiki a Amosa, ke kaula.
The rest of what Uzziah did, from beginning to end, was written down by the prophet Isaiah, son of Amoz.
23 Hiamoe iho la o Uzia me kona poe kupuna, a ua kanu lakou ia ia me kona poe kupuna ma ke kula kahi e kanu ai no na'lii, no ka mea, olelo lakou, He lepera ia; a noho alii o Iotama kana keiki ma kona hakahaka.
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.
