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.
Ngakho bonke abantu bakoJuda bathatha u-Uziya, owayeleminyaka elitshumi lesithupha ubudala, bambeka waba yinkosi esikhundleni sikayise u-Amaziya.
2 Ua kukulu oia ia Elota, a hui hou ia me Iuda, a mahope iho, hiamoe iho la ke alii me kona mau makua.
Nguye owakha kutsha umuzi we-Elathi wawubuyisela koJuda ngemva kokufa kwenkosi u-Amaziya owangcwatshwa kubokhokho bakhe.
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.
U-Uziya wayeleminyaka elitshumi lesithupha ubudala ekubeni kwakhe yinkosi njalo wabusa eJerusalema okweminyaka engamatshumi amahlanu lambili. Ibizo likanina linguJekholiya; evela eJerusalema.
4 Ua hana oia i ka pono imua o Iehova, e like me ka mea a kona makuakane a Amazia i hana'i.
Wenza okulungileyo phambi kukaThixo, njengalokhu okwakwenziwe nguyise u-Amaziya.
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.
Wazimisela ukumdinga uNkulunkulu ngezinsuku zikaZakhariya, owamfundisa ukumesaba uNkulunkulu. Esamlandela uThixo, uNkulunkulu wamphumelelisa.
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.
Waphuma impi wayakulwa lamaFilistiya wadiliza imiduli yaseGathi, laseJabhine lase-Ashidodi. Wasesakha kutsha imizi eseduzane le-Ashidodi leminye kwezinye iziqinti phakathi kwamaFilistiya.
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.
UNkulunkulu wayelaye ekuhlaseleni kwakhe amaFilistiya kanye lama-Arabhu ayehlala eGuri Bhali kanye lekuhlaseleni amaMewuni.
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.
Ama-Amoni aletha umthelo wawo ku-Uziya, udumo lwakhe lwanda lasemingceleni kusiyafika eGibhithe, ngoba wayeselamandla amakhulu.
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.
U-Uziya wakha imiphotshongo eJerusalema ngaseSangweni leNgosi langaseSangweni leSigodi langasengosini yomduli, wayivikela ngezinqaba.
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.
Wakha njalo imiphotshongo enkangala, wemba imithombo eminengi, ngoba wayefuyile elemihlambi yezifuyo emawatheni amaqaqa lasemagcekeni. Wayelabantu bokulima lababesezivinini emaqaqeni lasemhlabeni ovundileyo, ngoba wayethanda ukulima.
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.
U-Uziya wayelamabutho ayekwazi ukulwa ebuthwe ngamaviyo ayeqoqwe nguJeyiyeli umabhalane loMaseya isikhulu esasiqondiswa nguHananiya, omunye wezikhulu zomndlunkulu.
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.
Inani labakhokheli lonke ngezimuli emadodeni okulwa lalizinkulungwane ezimbili lamakhulu ayisithupha.
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.
Babelawula ibutho elilamadoda abazinkulungwane ezingamakhulu amathathu lesikhombisa lamakhulu amahlanu ayefundele ukulwa, amaviyo alamandla okuhlomulela inkosi ezitheni zayo.
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.
U-Uziya wahlomisa amabutho akhe wonke ngezihlangu, imikhonto, ingowane zensimbi lamabhatshi ensimbi, lemitshoko lamatshe ezavutha.
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.
EJerusalema wakhandisa imitshina yokufutha imitshoko leyokujikijela amatshe amakhulu ayikhandisa emadodeni ayezingcitshi eyayisetshenziswa emiphotshongweni esemajikweni. Udumo lwakhe lwanda lwayafika kude, ngoba wancediswa kakhulu waze waba lamandla amakhulu kakhulu.
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.
Kodwa kwathi u-Uziya eselamandla amakhulu, ukuziqhenya kwakhe kwamlethela incithakalo. Kazange athembeke kuThixo uNkulunkulu wakhe, waze wangena ethempelini likaThixo, ukuba ayetshisa impepha e-alithareni lempepha.
17 Alaila, komo o Azaria, ke kahuna mahope ona, a o na kahuna o Iehova kekahi pu me ia elua kanaha, he poe ikaika:
U-Azariya umphristi labanye abaphristi bakaThixo abangamatshumi ayisificaminwembili abalezibindi bamlandela phakathi ethempelini.
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.
Bajamelana laye bathi kuye, “Akulunganga ukuthi wena, Uziya, utshisele uThixo impepha. Lokho ngokwabaphristi, abenzalo ka-Aroni, abehlukaniselwa ukutshisa impepha. Phuma kulindawo engcwele, ngoba awuzange wethembeke, njalo awuyikuphakanyiswa nguThixo uNkulunkulu.”
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.
U-Uziya owayephethe udengezi lokutshisela impepha esandleni sakhe, wathukuthela. Uthe elokhu esakhwazela abaphristi ngoba kwabo phambi kwe-alithari lempepha ethempelini likaThixo, kwaqalisa ubulephero ebunzini lobuso bakhe.
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.
Kwathi u-Azariya umphristi omkhulu labanye abaphristi bemkhangela, babona eselobulephero ebunzini lakhe, ngakho baphanga bamkhuphela phandle. Lakanye yena ngokwakhe wayevele esefisa ukuphuma, ngoba uThixo wayesemtshayile.
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.
U-Uziya inkosi waba lobulephero kwaze kwaba lilanga lakhe lokufa. Wayesehlala endlini yakhe eyayimi yodwa ngoba elobulephero njalo engasavunyelwa ethempelini likaThixo. UJothamu indodana yakhe yaphatha isigodlo njalo yaphatha abantu bonke belizwe.
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.
Ezinye izehlakalo zombuso ka-Uziya, kusukela ekuqaleni kuze kube sekucineni, zilotshwe ngumphrofethi u-Isaya indodana ka-Amozi.
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.
U-Uziya waphumula labokhokho bakhe wangcwatshwa eduze kwabo ensimini yokungcwaba eyayingeyamakhosi ngoba abantu bathi, “Wayelobulephero.” Ngakho uJothamu indodana yakhe wathatha isikhundla sakhe waba yinkosi.
