2 Ebyomumirembe 26
1 Awo Uzziya bwe yali ng’aweza emyaka kkumi na mukaaga egy’obukulu, abantu bonna aba Yuda, ne bamufuula kabaka n’asikira kitaawe Amaziya.
And all the people of Judah took Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in the room of his father Amaziah.
2 N’addaabiriza Erosi, n’akiddiza Yuda nga Amaziya amaze okuziikibwa.
He built Eloth, and restored it to Judah, after that the king slept with his fathers.
3 Uzziya yali awezezza emyaka kkumi na mukaaga we yaliira obwakabaka, n’afugira emyaka amakumi ataano mu ebiri mu Yerusaalemi. Nnyina ye yali Yekkiriya ow’e Yerusaalemi.
Sixteen years old was Uzziah when he began to reign; and he reigned fifty and two years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Jecoliah of Jerusalem.
4 N’akola ebirungi mu maaso ga Mukama, nga kitaawe Amaziya bwe yasooka okukola.
And he did that, which was right in the eyes of the LORD, according to all that his father Amaziah had done.
5 N’amalirira okunoonya Katonda mu biro bya Zekkaliya eyamubuuliriranga okutya Katonda. Era ebbanga lyonna lye yanoonya Mukama, Katonda n’amuwa omukisa.
And 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 to prosper.
6 N’agenda n’alwana n’Abafirisuuti, n’amenyaamenya bbugwe wa Gaasi, ne bbugwe wa Yabune ne bbugwe wa Asudodi, n’oluvannyuma n’azimba ebibuga okumpi ne Asudodi ne mu bitundu ebirala wakati mu Bafirisuuti.
And he went forth and warred against the Philistines, and broke down the wall of Gath, and the wall of Jabneh, and the wall of Ashdod; and he built cities in the country of Ashdod, and among the Philistines.
7 Katonda n’amuyambanga ng’alwana n’Abafirisuuti, n’Abawalabu abaabeeranga mu Gulubaali, era n’Abamewunimu.
And God helped him against the Philistines, and against the Arabians that dwelt in Gur-baal, and the Meunim.
8 Abamoni ne bawanga Uzziya busuulu, era n’erinnya lye ne lyatiikirira n’okutuusa ku nsalo ya Misiri, kubanga yali afuuse wa maanyi nnyo.
And the Ammonites gave gifts to Uzziah; and his name spread abroad even to the entrance of Egypt; for he waxed exceeding strong.
9 Uzziya n’azimba eminaala mu Yerusaalemi ku wankaaki ow’oku Nsonda, ne ku wankaaki ow’omu Kiwonvu, ne mu kifo bbugwe w’akyukira, era n’agissaako bbugwe.
Moreover Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem at the corner gate, and at the valley gate, and at the Turning, and fortified them.
10 Era n’azimba n’eminaala mu ddungu, ate era n’asima n’ebidiba bingi mu biwonvu ne mu lusenyi, olw’amaggana amanene ge yalina. Yalina n’abantu abaakolanga mu nnimiro ze ez’emizabbibu mu nsozi n’abaalimanga ettaka eggimu, kubanga yayagalanga nnyo okulima.
And be built towers in the wilderness, and hewed out many cisterns, for he had much cattle; in the Lowland also, and in the table-land; and he had husbandmen and vinedressers in the mountains and in the fruitful fields; for he loved husbandry.
11 Uzziya yalina eggye ery’abasajja abalwanyi abaatendekebwa obulungi, abaatabaalanga mu bibinja ng’emiwendo gyabwe bwe gyali, Yeyeri omuwandiisi gye yabala ne Maaseya omukungu, eyali wansi wa Kananiya, omu ku baduumizi b’eggye lya kabaka.
Moreover Uzziah had an army of fighting men, that 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 Omuwendo gwonna awamu ogw’abakulu b’ennyumba ez’abasajja abalwanyi gwali enkumi bbiri mu lukaaga.
The whole number of the heads of fathers' houses, even the mighty men of valour, was two thousand and six hundred.
13 Abo be baaduumiranga eggye ery’abasajja abatendeke mu kulwana, abaawera emitwalo amakumi asatu mu kasanvu mu ebikumi bitaano, abaakuumanga kabaka.
And under their hand was a trained army, three hundred thousand and seven thousand and five hundred, that made war with mighty power, to help the king against the enemy.
14 Uzziya n’awa eggye lyonna, engabo, n’amafumu, n’enkuufiira ez’ebyuma, n’ebizibaawo eby’ebyuma, n’emitego emigumu, n’envuumuulo.
And Uzziah prepared for them, even for all the host, shields, and spears, and helmets, and coats of mail, and bows, and stones for slinging.
15 N’akozesa ebyuma mu Yerusaalemi ebyayiyizibwa abasajja abamanyirivu, ebyakozesebwanga ku minaala ne ku nkomera okulasa obusaale n’okuvuumuula amayinja amanene. Yayambibwa nnyo, n’atutumuka era erinnya lye ne lyatiikirira nnyo.
And he made in Jerusalem engines, invented by skilful men, to be on the towers and upon the corners, wherewith to shoot arrows and great stones. And his name spread far abroad; for he was marvellously helped, till he was strong.
16 Kyokka Uzziya bwe yatutumuka, ne yeegulumiza, n’okugwa n’agwa kubanga teyali mwesigwa eri Mukama Katonda we, n’okuyingira n’ayingira mu yeekaalu ya Mukama okwotereza obubaane ku kyoto eky’obubaane.
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 temple of the LORD to burn incense upon the altar of incense.
17 Azaliya kabona ne bakabona ba Mukama abalala abazira kinaana ne bagenda gy’ali,
And Azariah the priest went in after him, and with him fourscore priests of the LORD, that were valiant men;
18 ne bamuziyiza, nga bamugamba nti, “Si mulimu gwo, Uzziya, okwotereza Mukama obubaane, naye mulimu gwa bakabona bazzukulu ba Alooni abaayawulibwa okwotezanga obubaane. Ffuluma ove mu watukuvu, kubanga osobezza, era tojja kusiimibwa Mukama Katonda.”
and they withstood Uzziah the king, and said unto him: 'It pertaineth not unto thee, Uzziah, to burn incense unto the LORD, but to the priests the sons of Aaron that are consecrated it pertaineth to burn incense; go out of the sanctuary; for thou hast trespassed; neither shall it be for thy honour from the LORD God.'
19 Awo Uzziya n’asunguwala ng’akyakutte ekyoterezo mu mukono gwe. Mu kiseera ekyo ng’asunguwalidde bakabona ng’ayimiridde ku mabbali g’ekyoto eky’obubaane mu yeekaalu ya Mukama, ebigenge ne bimukwata ekyenyi kyonna.
Then Uzziah was wroth; and he had a censer in his hand to burn incense; and while he was wroth with the priests, the leprosy broke forth in his forehead before the priests in the house of the LORD, beside the altar of incense.
20 Awo Azaliya kabona asinga obukulu ne bakabona abalala bwe bamutunuulira, ne balaba ng’akwatiddwa ebigenge mu kyenyi kye ne banguwa okumufulumya ebweru. Ate era naye yennyini n’ayagala okufuluma kubanga Mukama yali amukubye omuggo.
And Azariah the chief priest, and all the priests, looked upon him, and, behold, he was leprous in his forehead, and they thrust him out quickly from thence; yea, himself made haste also to go out, because the LORD had smitten him.
21 Kabaka Uzziya n’aba mugenge okutuusa lwe yafa, ng’abeera mu nnyumba eyayawulibwa ku ndala zonna olw’obugenge bwe, nga n’obuvunaanyizibwa bwonna bumuggyibbwako, ate era nga takkirizibwa kuyingira mu yeekaalu ya Mukama. Yosamu mutabani we n’atwala obuvunaanyizibwa obw’olubiri n’afuga abantu ab’eggwanga.
And Uzziah the king was a leper unto the day of his death, and dwelt in a house set apart, being a leper; for he was cut off from the house of the LORD; and Jotham his son was over the king's house, judging the people of the land.
22 Ebyafaayo ebirala eby’omu mirembe gya Uzziya, okuva ku ntandikwa okutuusa ku nkomerero, byawandiikibwa Isaaya nnabbi, mutabani wa Amozi.
Now the rest of the acts of Uzziah, first and last, did Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, write.
23 Uzziya n’afa, n’aziikibwa okumpi ne bajjajjaabe mu kiggya kya bakabaka, kubanga, yali mugenge. Yosamu mutabani we n’amusikira, bw’atyo n’afuga mu kifo kye.
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'; and Jotham his son reigned in his stead.
