2 Masolo ya Kala 26
1 Bato nyonso ya Yuda baponaki Oziasi oyo azalaki na mibu zomi na motoba ya mbotama mpe bakomisaki ye mokonzi na esika ya Amatsia, tata na ye.
All the people of Judah took Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in the place of his father Amaziah.
2 Sima na kufa ya tata na ye, Amatsia, Oziasi atongaki lisusu engumba Eyiloti mpe azongisaki yango na se ya bokonzi ya Yuda.
He built Eloth and restored it to Judah. After that the king slept with his fathers.
3 Oziasi azalaki na mibu zomi na motoba ya mbotama tango akomaki mokonzi, mpe akonzaki mibu tuku mitano na mibale na Yelusalemi. Kombo ya mama na ye ezalaki « Yekolia. » Yekolia azalaki moto ya Yelusalemi.
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 Asalaki makambo ya sembo na miso ya Yawe ndenge kaka Amatsia, tata na ye, asalaki.
He did that which was right in the LORD’s eyes, according to all that his father Amaziah had done.
5 Oziasi akangamaki na Nzambe mikolo nyonso ya bomoi ya Zakari, pamba te azalaki kolakisa ye kotosa Nzambe. Na tango nyonso oyo Oziasi awumelaki kokangama na Yawe, Nzambe azalaki kolongisa ye.
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 Akendeki kobundisa bato ya Filisitia mpe atobolaki madusu kati na bamir ya Gati, ya Yabine mpe ya Asidodi. Atongaki lisusu bingumba ebele kati na etuka ya Asidodi mpe kati na bituka mosusu ya bato ya Filisitia.
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 Nzambe asungaki ye tango abundisaki bato ya Filisitia, ya Arabi oyo bazalaki kovanda na Guri-Bala, mpe tango abundisaki bato ya Maoni.
God helped him against the Philistines, and against the Arabians who lived in Gur Baal, and the Meunim.
8 Bato ya Amoni bafutaki mpako ya mokonzi epai ya Oziasi, mpe kombo na ye ekendeki sango kino na bandelo ya Ejipito, pamba te akomaki na nguya makasi koleka.
The Ammonites gave tribute to Uzziah. His name spread abroad even to the entrance of Egypt, for he grew exceedingly strong.
9 Oziasi atongaki bandako milayi kati na Yelusalemi, na ekuke ya suka, na ekuke ya lubwaku mpe na suka ya mir; mpe alendisaki yango makasi.
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 Atongaki lisusu bandako milayi kati na esobe mpe atimolaki mabulu ebele ya mayi mpo ete azalaki na bibwele ebele na se ya bangomba mpe na etando. Azalaki mpe na basali ebele oyo bazalaki kotimola mabele mpe kosala kati na bilanga na ye ya vino kati na bituka ya bangomba mpe na mabele oyo ebotaka malamu, pamba te azalaki kolinga mingi misala ya bilanga.
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 Oziasi azalaki na basoda oyo baselingwa mpo na bitumba; mpe babongisamaki na masanga kolanda motango na bango ndenge Yeyeli, mokomi mikanda, mpe kalaka Maaseya, na bokambami ya Anania, moko kati na bakonzi ya bakalaka ya mokonzi, bazwaki bango na mosala.
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 Motango nyonso ya bakambi ya mabota, oyo bazalaki kokamba basoda ya mpiko, ezalaki nkoto mibale na nkama motoba.
The whole number of the heads of fathers’ households, even the mighty men of valour, was two thousand and six hundred.
13 Bakonzi ya mabota bazalaki kokamba basoda nkoto nkama misato na sambo na nkama mitano oyo baselingwa mpo na bitumba mpe bazalaki basoda ya mpiko, mpo na kobundela mokonzi liboso ya banguna na ye.
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 Na tango nyonso ya bitumba, Oziasi azalaki kopesa banguba, makonga, bikoti ya bibende, bilamba ya bibende oyo ebatelaka tolo, matolotolo mpe bibambelo mabanga.
Uzziah prepared for them, even for all the army, shields, spears, helmets, coats of mail, bows, and stones for slinging.
15 Asalisaki kati na Yelusalemi, epai ya bato ya mayele, bamashini mpo na kotia yango likolo ya bandako milayi mpe na suka ya bamir mpo na kobwaka makonga mpe mabanga minene. Kombo na ye ekendeki sango, pamba te asungamaki makasi kino kokoma moto na nguya.
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 Kasi tango Oziasi akomaki na nguya, atondaki na lolendo oyo ememaki ye na kokweya. Atambolaki lisusu na bosembo te liboso ya Yawe, Nzambe na ye, kino kokota na Tempelo ya Yawe mpo na kotumba mbeka ya malasi na likolo ya etumbelo ya malasi.
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 Nganga-Nzambe Azaria alandaki Oziasi na sima, elongo na Banganga-Nzambe mosusu ya Yawe, tuku mwambe, bango nyonso batonda na mpiko.
Azariah the priest went in after him, and with him eighty priests of the LORD, who were valiant men.
18 Batelemelaki mokonzi Oziasi mpe balobaki na ye: « Oziasi, kotumba mbeka ya malasi mpo na Yawe ezali mosala na yo te! Ezali nde mosala ya Banganga-Nzambe, bakitani ya Aron, oyo babulisama mpo na mosala yango. Bima wuta na Esika ya bule, pamba te ozali kosala likambo ya nkele, mpe Yawe Nzambe akosepela na yo te! »
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 Bongo Oziasi, oyo asimbaki mbabola na loboko na ye, atombokelaki Banganga-Nzambe. Kaka na tango yango, wana azalaki kati na Tempelo ya Yawe liboso ya etumbelo ya ansa, bokono ya maba ebimaki na elongi na ye na miso ya Banganga-Nzambe.
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 Tango Azaria, mokonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe, mpe Banganga-Nzambe mosusu batalaki ye mpe bamonaki ete akomi na bokono ya maba na elongi, babenganaki ye na lombangu wana ye moko mpe azalaki kobima na lombangu, pamba te Yawe asambwisaki ye.
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 Mokonzi Oziasi abelaki bokono ya maba kino na mokolo na ye ya kufa. Lokola azalaki kobela bokono ya maba, akomaki kovanda na ndako moko batonga mosika, pamba te babenganaki ye mosika ya Tempelo ya Yawe. Yotami, mwana na ye ya mobali, mobateli biloko ya ndako ya mokonzi, ayangelaki bato ya mokili.
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 Makambo mosusu oyo etali bokonzi ya Oziasi mpe misala na ye, kobanda na ebandeli kino na suka, ezali mosakoli Ezayi, mwana mobali ya Amotsi, nde akomaki yango.
Now the rest of the acts of Uzziah, first and last, Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, wrote.
23 Oziasi akendeki kokutana na bakoko na ye, mpe bakundaki ye esika moko na bango kati na lilita ya bakonzi, pamba te bato bazalaki koloba: « Abelaki bokono ya maba. » Yotami, mwana na ye ya mobali, akitanaki na ye na bokonzi.
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.
