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.
And all the people of Judah take Uzziah (and he [is] a son of sixteen years), and cause him to reign instead of his father Amaziah.
2 Ọ bụ Ụzaya wugharịrị obodo Elat, nwetaghachi ya nye Juda mgbe eze bụ Amazaya sooro ndị nna nna ya dinaa nʼọnwụ.
He has built Eloth, and restores it to Judah after the king’s lying 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.
Uzziah [is] a son of sixteen years in his reigning, and he has reigned fifty-two years in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Jecholiah of Jerusalem.
4 O soro nzọ ụkwụ nna ya bụ Amazaya mee ihe ziri ezi nʼanya Onyenwe anyị.
And he does that which is right in the eyes of YHWH, according to all that his father Amaziah 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 is as one seeking God in the days of Zechariah who has understanding in visions of God: and in the days of his seeking YHWH, God has caused him to prosper.
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 goes forth and fights with the Philistines, and breaks down the wall of Gath, and the wall of Jabneh, and the wall of Ashdod, and builds cities [around] Ashdod, 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 God helps him against the Philistines, and against the Arabians who are dwelling in Gur-Ba‘al and the Mehunim.
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 Ammonites give a present to Uzziah, and his name goes to the entering in of Egypt, for he strengthened himself greatly.
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 Uzziah builds towers in Jerusalem, by the Corner Gate, and by the Valley Gate, and by the angle, and strengthens 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 builds towers in the wilderness, and digs many wells, for he had much livestock, both in the low country and in the plain, farmers and vinedressers in the mountains, and in Carmel; for he was a lover of the ground.
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 Uzziah has a force making war, going forth to the host, by troops, in the number of their reckoning by the hand of Jeiel the scribe and Masseiah the officer, by the hand of Hananiah [one] of the heads of the king.
12 Ndị agha a nwekwara puku ndịisi agha abụọ na narị isii, ya bụ 2,600.
The whole number of heads of the fathers of the mighty men of valor [is] two thousand and 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 by their hand [is] the force of the host—three hundred thousand and seven thousand and five hundred warriors, with mighty power to give help to the king against the enemy.
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 Uzziah prepares for them, for all the host, shields, and spears, and helmets, and coats of mail, and bows, even to stones of the slings.
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 makes inventions in Jerusalem—a device of an inventor—to be on the towers, and on the corners, to shoot with arrows and with great stones, and his name goes out to a distance, for he has been wonderfully helped until he has been 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 at his being strong his heart has been high to destruction, and he trespasses against his God YHWH, and goes into the temple of YHWH to make 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 Azariah the priest goes in after him, and with him eighty priests of YHWH, sons of valor,
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 stand up against Uzziah the king, and say to him, “[It is] not for you, O Uzziah, to make incense to YHWH, but for priests, sons of Aaron, who are sanctified to make incense; go forth from the sanctuary, for you have trespassed, indeed, for you [will] not [have] honor from YHWH 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 Uzziah is angry, and in his hand [is] a censer to make incense, and in his being angry with the priests—the leprosy has risen in his forehead, before the priests, in the house of YHWH, from beside 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 Azariah the head priest looks toward him, and all the priests, and behold, he [is] leprous in his forehead, and they hurry him there, and also he himself has hurried to go out, for YHWH has plagued 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 Uzziah the king is a leper to the day of his death, and inhabits a separate house—a leper, for he has been cut off from the house of YHWH, and his son Jotham [is] over the house of the king, 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 matters of Uzziah, the first and the last, Isaiah son of Amoz the prophet has written;
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 Uzziah lies with his fathers, and they bury him with his fathers in the field of the burying-place that the kings have, for they said, “He [is] a leper”; and his son Jotham reigns in his stead.
