2 Ihe E Mere 26
1 Mgbe ahụ, ndị Juda mere Ụzaya eze nʼọnọdụ Amazaya nna ya, mgbe ọ dị naanị afọ iri na isii.
Then all the people of the land took Ozias, and he was sixteen years old, and they made him king in the room of his father Amasias.
2 Ọ bụ Ụzaya wugharịrị obodo Elat, nwetaghachi ya nye Juda mgbe eze bụ Amazaya sooro ndị nna nna ya dinaa nʼọnwụ.
He built Aelath, he recovered it to Juda, after the king slept with his fathers.
3 Ụzaya dị afọ iri na isii mgbe ọ malitere ịchị dịka eze. Ọ chịrị iri afọ ise na abụọ na Jerusalem.
Ozias began to reign at the age of sixteen years, and he reigned fifty-two years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Jechelia of Jerusalem.
4 O soro nzọ ụkwụ nna ya bụ Amazaya mee ihe ziri ezi nʼanya Onyenwe anyị.
And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that Amasias his father did.
5 Ụzaya chọsịrị Chineke ike ụbọchị niile nke Zekaraya na-adị ndụ, bụ onye mere ka ọ ghọta ịtụ egwu Chineke. Mgbe niile, dịka ọ na-achọ Onyenwe anyị, Chineke nyere ya ọganihu.
And he sought the Lord in the days of Zacharias, who understood the fear of the Lord; and in his days he sought the Lord, and the Lord prospered him.
6 O busoro ndị Filistia agha, ma kụdakwa mgbidi niile nke Gat, Jabna, na Ashdọd. Emesịa, o wuziri ọtụtụ obodo dị nʼakụkụ Ashdọd na nʼebe ndị ọzọ nʼobodo Filistia.
And he went out and fought against the Philistines, and pulled down the walls of Geth, and the walls of Jabner, and the walls of Azotus, and he built cities [near] Azotus, and among the Philistines.
7 Chineke nọnyeere ya nʼọgụ niile ọ lụsoro ndị Filistia, na ndị Arab bi na Gua Baal na ndị Meunim.
And the Lord strengthened him against the Philistines, and against the Arabians that lived on the rock, and against the Minaeans.
8 Ndị Amọn na-atụtara ya ụtụ afọ niile, ude aha ya ruru ọ bụladị ala Ijipt nʼihi na ọ ghọrọ onye dị ike nke ukwuu.
And the Minaeans gave gifts to Ozias; and his fame spread as far as the entering in of Egypt, for he strengthened [himself] exceedingly.
9 O wuru ọtụtụ ụlọ elu nche na Jerusalem na nkuku Ọnụ Ụzọ Ama, nʼỌnụ Ụzọ Ama Ndagwurugwu, na nkuku mgbidi, wusie ha ike.
And Ozias built towers in Jerusalem, both at the gate of the corners, and at the valley gate, and at the corners and he fortified them.
10 O wukwara ọtụtụ ụlọ elu nche siri ike nʼọzara, gwuokwa ọtụtụ olulu mmiri nʼihi na o nwere ọtụtụ anụ ụlọ na ndagwurugwu, na nʼala dị larịị. Ọ hụrụ ịrụ ọrụ ubi nʼanya, nʼihi ya, o nwere ọtụtụ ndị na-arụ ọrụ nʼubi na ubi vaịnị ya dị nʼala ugwu ugwu, na nʼala ndị dị na ndagwurugwu.
And he built towers in the wilderness, and dug many wells, for he had many cattle in the low country and in the plain; and vinedressers in the mountain country and in Carmel: for he was a husbandman.
11 Ụzaya nwere ndị agha ọnụọgụgụ ha dị ukwuu, ndị a zụziri azụzi, na ndị nọ na njikere mgbe niile ịpụ ibu agha dịka ọnụọgụgụ e kewapụtara ha si dị. Ọ bụ Jeiel, ode akwụkwọ na Maaseia, onyeisi ozi nọ nʼokpuru Hananaya, otu nʼime ndịisi ozi eze, ka ọ dị nʼaka ịgụpụta ndị agha ga-apụ ibu agha.
And Ozias had a host of warriors, and that went out orderly to war, and returned orderly in number; and their number was [made] by the hand of Jeiel the scribe, and Maasias the judge, by the hand of Ananias the king's deputy.
12 Ndị agha a nwekwara puku ndịisi agha abụọ na narị isii, ya bụ 2,600.
The whole number of the chiefs of families of the mighty men of war [was] two thousand six hundred;
13 Ọnụọgụgụ ndị agha ahụ niile dị narị puku atọ na asaa, na narị ise, ya bụ, 307,500. Ha bụ ndị a zụziri nke ọma, ndị dị nnọọ ike iguzo nʼazụ eze ibu agha megide ndị iro ya.
and with them was a warrior force, three hundred thousand and seven thousand and five hundred: these waged war mightily to help the king against [his] enemies.
14 Ụzaya nyere ndị agha niile, ọta, na ùbe, na uwe agha, na okpu igwe, na uwe agha igwe, ụta na nkume na-akwọ mụrụmụrụ, nke ndị na-atụ iche ji alụ ọgụ.
And Ozias prepared for them, [even] for all the host, shields, and spears, and helmets, and breastplates, and bows, and slings for stones.
15 O mepụtakwara ihe nchepụta ọhụrụ na Jerusalem, nke ndị nwere amamihe chepụtara, bụ nke a ga-eguzobe nʼụlọ elu nche nakwa nʼelu nkuku mgbidi, ka ndị agha nwee ike jiri ha gbaa àkụ maọbụ tụọ nkume ukwu site nʼelu mgbidi ahụ niile. Ude aha ya gbasara ruo ebe dị anya, nʼihi na-enyeere ya aka nʼụzọ dị ukwuu ruo mgbe ọ ghọrọ onye dị ike.
And he made in Jerusalem machines invented by a wise contriver, to be upon the towers and upon the corners, to cast darts and great stones: and [the fame] of their preparation was heard at a distance; for he was wonderfully helped, till he was strong.
16 Ma mgbe Ụzaya ghọrọ onye dị ike, nganga wetaara ya ọdịda. Ọ bụ onye na-ekwesighị ntụkwasị obi nye Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke ya, ọ banyere nʼime ụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị ka ọ chụọ aja ihe nsure ọkụ na-esi isi ụtọ nʼelu ebe ịchụ aja.
And when he was strong, his heart was lifted up to his destruction; and he transgressed against the Lord his God, and went into the temple of the Lord to turn incense on the altar of incense.
17 Azaraya onye nchụaja na ndị nchụaja Onyenwe anyị iri asatọ ọzọ bụ dimkpa jekwuru ya nʼebe ahụ.
And there went in after him Azarias the priest, and with him eighty priests of the Lord, mighty men.
18 Ha guzogidere eze bụ Ụzaya, sị ya, “Ụzaya, i kwesighị ịbata nʼebe a jiri aka gị suree ihe nsure ọkụ na-esi isi ụtọ nye Onyenwe anyị. Nke a bụ ọrụ dịrị naanị ndị nchụaja ndị bụ ụmụ Erọn, ndị a họpụtara doo iche maka ọrụ a. Site nʼebe nsọ a pụọ, nʼihi na i gosila onwe gị dịka onye na-ekwesighị ntụkwasị obi. Ọzọ ị gaghị enwekwa nsọpụrụ site nʼaka Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị.”
And they withstood Ozias the king, and said to him, [It is] not for you, Ozias, to burn incense to the Lord, but only for the priests the sons of Aaron, who are consecrated to sacrifice: go forth of the sanctuary, for you have departed from the Lord; and this shall not be for glory to you from the Lord god.
19 Ụzaya onye ji ihe ịgụ ọkụ nke e ji esure ihe nsure ọkụ na-esi isi ụtọ ahụ nʼaka, were iwe nke ukwu megide ndị nchụaja ahụ. Mgbe ọ nọ na-abara ndị nchụaja mba nʼihu ebe ịchụ aja nke dị nʼụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị, lee ekpenta pụtara ya nʼegedege ihu.
And Ozias was angry, and in his hand [was] the censer to burn incense in the temple: and when he was angry with the priests, then the leprosy rose up in his forehead before the priests in the house of the Lord, over the altar of incense.
20 Mgbe Azaraya onyeisi nchụaja, na ndị nchụaja ọzọ niile lere ya anya, ha hụrụ na ekpenta agbaala ya nʼegedege ihu ya, ha mere ka ọ site nʼebe ahụ pụọ ngwangwa. Ya onwe ya kwa chọkwara isite nʼebe ahụ pụọ ngwangwa, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị tiri ya ihe otiti.
And Azarias the chief priest, and the [other] priests, turned [to look] at him, and, behold, he [was] leprous in his forehead; and they got him hastily out thence, for he also hasted to go out, because the Lord had rebuked him.
21 Eze Ụzaya bụ onye ekpenta ruo ụbọchị ọnwụ ya. O biri nʼụlọ ewupụrụ iche, ebe ọ bụ onye ekpenta, na onye amapụrụ site nʼụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị. Jotam nwa ya ghọrọ onye nlekọta ụlọeze, na-achịkwa ndị ala ahụ.
And Ozias the king was a leper to the day of his death, and he lived [as] a leper in a separate house; for he was cut off from the house of the Lord: and Joathan his son [was set] over his kingdom, judging the people of the land.
22 Ihe ndị ọzọ niile mere nʼoge ọchịchị Ụzaya, site na mmalite ruo ọgwụgwụ, onye amụma Aịzaya nwa Emọz deturu ha nʼakwụkwọ.
And the rest of the acts of Ozias, the first and the last, [are] written by Jessias the prophet.
23 Ụzaya soro ndị nna nna ya dina nʼọnwụ, e lie ya nso nʼọhịa ebe a na-eli ozu nke dịịrị ndị eze, maka na ndị mmadụ sịrị, “Ọ bụ onye ekpenta.” Jotam nwa ya, ghọrọ eze nʼọnọdụ ya.
And Ozias slept with his fathers, and they buried him with his fathers in the field of the burial [place] of the kings, for they said, He is a leper; and Joatham his son reigned in his stead.
