1 Mwet Judah nukewa elos sulella Uzziah wen natul Amaziah, su yac singoul onkosr matwal, tuh elan tokosra in aol papa tumal ah.
All the people of Judah took Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in the place of his father Amaziah.
2 Tukun Amaziah el misa, Uzziah el sruokya siti Elath, ac sifilpa musaela.
He built Eloth and restored it to Judah. After that the king slept with his fathers.
3 Uzziah el tokosrala ke el yac singoul onkosr, ac el leum in Jerusalem ke yac lumngaul luo. Nina kial pa Jecoliah, sie mutan Jerusalem.
Uzziah was sixteen years old when he began to reign; and he reigned fifty-two years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jechiliah, of Jerusalem.
4 El fahsr tukun ouiya lun papa tumal, ac oru ma su akinsewowoye LEUM GOD.
He did that which was right in the LORD’s eyes, according to all that his father Amaziah had done.
5 Ke lusen na moul lal Zechariah, su luti nu sel tuh elan etu in sangeng sin God, Uzziah el oaru na in kulansupu LEUM GOD, ac God El akinsewowoyal.
He set himself to seek God in the days of Zechariah, who had understanding in the vision of God; and as long as he sought the LORD, God made him prosper.
6 Uzziah el som mweuni mwet Philistia. El kunausya pot in siti lun Gath, Jamnia, ac Ashdod, ac el musaela ac kuhlasak kutu siti apkuran nu Ashdod, ac oayapa in acn saya lun Philistia.
He went out and fought against the Philistines, and broke down the wall of Gath, the wall of Jabneh, and the wall of Ashdod; and he built cities in the country of Ashdod, and amongst the Philistines.
7 God El kasrel in kutangla mwet Philistia, mwet Arab ma muta Gurbaal, ac mwet Meunim.
God helped him against the Philistines, and against the Arabians who lived in Gur Baal, and the Meunim.
8 Mwet Ammon elos sang takma nu sel Uzziah, pwanang el arulana kui, ac pweng kacl som nwe ke sun acn Egypt.
The Ammonites gave tribute to Uzziah. His name spread abroad even to the entrance of Egypt, for he grew exceedingly strong.
9 Uzziah el musaela kais sie tower ke Mutunpot In Sruwasrik, ke Mutunpot Infahlfal, ac ke yen ma pot uh kuhfla we, in akkeyala pot ke acn Jerusalem.
Moreover Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem at the corner gate, at the valley gate, and at the turning of the wall, and fortified them.
10 El oayapa musaela tower ke yen mwesis ac kuhlasak ke pot, ac el pukanak lufin kof pukanten, mweyen pukanten un kosro natul pe eol ac in acn tupasrpasr layen nu roto. Ke sripen el lungse orekma ke ima, el akkeye mwet uh in yoki ima in grape fin acn tohktok uh, ac orek ima yenwo fohk we.
He built towers in the wilderness, and dug out many cisterns, for he had much livestock, both in the lowlands and in the plains. He had farmers and vineyard keepers in the mountains and in the fruitful fields, for he loved farming.
11 Oasr un mwet mweun na yohk se lal su akola nu ke mweun. Ma simusla ke mwet mweun inge karinginyuk sel Jeiel ac Maaseiah, mwet sim luo lal su orekma ye kolyuk lal Hananiah, sie sin mwet pwapa lun tokosra.
Moreover Uzziah had an army of fighting men who went out to war by bands, according to the number of their reckoning made by Jeiel the scribe and Maaseiah the officer, under the hand of Hananiah, one of the king’s captains.
12 Mwet mweun lal uh kolyuk sin mwet kol luo tausin onfoko.
The whole number of the heads of fathers’ households, even the mighty men of valour, was two thousand and six hundred.
13 Oasr mwet mweun tolfoko itkosr tausin lumfoko su akola in mweun kacl tokosra in lain mwet lokoalok lal.
Under their hand was an army, three hundred and seven thousand and five hundred, who made war with mighty power, to help the king against the enemy.
14 Uzziah el sang kufwen mweun nu sin mwet mweun inge, ke mwe loeyuk, osra in fahkfuk, mwe susu, nuknuk in mweun osra, pisr ac sukan pisr, oayapa eot nu ke fuht.
Uzziah prepared for them, even for all the army, shields, spears, helmets, coats of mail, bows, and stones for slinging.
15 Mwet usrnguk in kinauk ma sasu elos muta Jerusalem ac orala kufwen mwe pisr, oayapa mwe sis eot lulap liki tower ac liki sruwasrik ke pot in siti uh. Pweng kacl Uzziah fahsrelik nu yen nukewa, ac el arulana kui ke sripen kasru lun God nu sel.
In Jerusalem, he made devices, invented by skilful men, to be on the towers and on the battlements, with which to shoot arrows and great stones. His name spread far abroad, because he was marvellously helped until he was strong.
16 Tusruktu ke Tokosra Uzziah el mutawauk in kui, na el inse fulatyak, ac ma inge kololla nu ke musalla. El aklusrontenye LEUM GOD lal ke el som nu in Tempul ac sifacna akosak mwe keng fin loang lun mwe kisa keng.
But when he was strong, his heart was lifted up, so that he did corruptly and he trespassed against the LORD his God, for he went into the LORD’s temple to burn incense on the altar of incense.
17 Azariah, mwet tol, ac mwet tol ku ac pulaik oalngoul sayal, welul utyak tokol tokosra
Azariah the priest went in after him, and with him eighty priests of the LORD, who were valiant men.
18 in kutongol, ac elos fahk nu sel, “Uzziah! Wangin suwohs lom in akosak mwe keng nu sin LEUM GOD. Mwet tol in fita lal Aaron mukena pa akmutalyeyukla in oru ma inge. Fahla liki acn mutal se inge. Kom oru ma koluk lain LEUM GOD, ke ma inge El ac fah tia sifil akinsewowoye kom.”
They resisted Uzziah the king, and said to him, “It isn’t for you, Uzziah, to burn incense to the LORD, but for the priests the sons of Aaron, who are consecrated to burn incense. Go out of the sanctuary, for you have trespassed. It will not be for your honour from the LORD God.”
19 Uzziah el srakna tu sisken loang sac in Tempul, ac sruok mwe neinyuk mwe keng se. El kasrkusrakak sin mwet tol inge, ac in kitin pacl ah na musen lepa sikyak ke motonsrol.
Then Uzziah was angry. He had a censer in his hand to burn incense, and while he was angry with the priests, the leprosy broke out on his forehead before the priests in the LORD’s house, beside the altar of incense.
20 Azariah ac mwet tol wial elos suiya motonsrol tokosra ac arulana lut, na elos lusulla liki Tempul. El sulaklak na illa mweyen LEUM GOD El kalyael.
Azariah the chief priest and all the priests looked at him, and behold, he was leprous in his forehead; and they thrust him out quickly from there. Indeed, he himself also hurried to go out, because the LORD had struck him.
21 In pacl sac lac nwe ke el misa, tokosra el tia ku in sifil utyak nu in Tempul ke sripen mas se lal inge. Ke ma inge el srengla mutana in lohm sel sifacna, ac itukyang nu sel Jotham, wen natul, elan kol mutunfacl sac.
Uzziah the king was a leper to the day of his death, and lived in a separate house, being a leper; for he was cut off from the LORD’s house. Jotham his son was over the king’s house, judging the people of the land.
22 Mwet palu Isaiah wen natul Amoz, el simusla ma nukewa ma Tokosra Uzziah el orala ke pacl in leum lal ah.
Now the rest of the acts of Uzziah, first and last, Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, wrote.
23 Uzziah el misa, ac pukpuki ke acn lun leum, tuh ke sripen mas lal ah el tia pukpuki inkulyuk lun mwet leum. Jotham, wen natul, el aolul in tokosra.
So Uzziah slept with his fathers; and they buried him with his fathers in the field of burial which belonged to the kings, for they said, “He is a leper.” Jotham his son reigned in his place.
