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 'Uzziyahu, who was then sixteen years old, and made him king instead of his father Amazyahu.
2 N’addaabiriza Erosi, n’akiddiza Yuda nga Amaziya amaze okuziikibwa.
He it was that built Eloth, and brought it back to Judah, after 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 'Uzziyahu when he became king, and fifty and two years did he reign in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Yecholyah of Jerusalem.
4 N’akola ebirungi mu maaso ga Mukama, nga kitaawe Amaziya bwe yasooka okukola.
And he did what is right in the eyes of the Lord, in accordance with all that his father Amazyahu 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 was [inclined] to seek God in the days of Zecharyahu, who had understanding in the visions of God; and during the time that he sought the Lord, God caused 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 made war against the Philistines, and he 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-ba'al, and the Me'unim.
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 presents to 'Uzziyahu: and his name extended even to the entrance of Egypt; for he became exceedingly 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.
And 'Uzziyahu built towers in Jerusalem, above the corner-gate, and above the valley-gate, and at the angle, and made them strong.
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.
He built also towers in the desert, and hewed out many wells; for he had much cattle, both in the lowlands and in the plain; [also] husbandmen, and vintners in the mountains, and in Carmel; 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 'Uzziyah had an army of fighting men, that went out to the host by bands, according to the number of those mustered of them through the hand of Je'iel the scribe and Ma'asseyahu the overseer, under the supervision of Chananyahu, 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 chiefs of the family divisions of the mighty men of valor 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 supervision was an efficient army, [of] 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 'Uzziyahu prepared for them, 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 artificial contrivances, contrived by a skilful man, to be [stationed] on the towers and upon the ramparts, to shoot off arrows and great stones. And his name extended ever so far abroad; for he was marvelously assisted, till he became 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 to his destruction; and he became unfaithful against the Lord his God, and 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 there went in after him 'Azaryahu the priest, and with him were priests of the Lord, valiant men, [to the number of] eighty;
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 stood forward against king 'Uzziyahu, and they said unto him, It is not for thee, O 'Uzziyahu, to burn incense unto the Lord, but for the priests the sons of Aaron, who are consecrated to burn incense: go out of the sanctuary; for thou hast trespassed; and it will not be for thy honor 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.
But 'Uzziyahu became wroth, and in his hand was a censer to burn incense: and while he was wroth with the priests, the leprosy even broke out on his forehead before the priests in the house of the Lord, above the altar of the 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 when 'Azaryahu the chief priest, with all the priests, turned about toward him, behold, he was leprous on his forehead, and they hurried him away from there: yea, he also made haste to go out, because the Lord had afflicted 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 king 'Uzziyahu was a leper until the day of his death, and dwelt in the leper-house, as a leper; for he was excluded from the house of the Lord: and Jotham his son was over the king's house, [and] judged 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.
And the rest of the acts of 'Uzziyahu, the first and the last, did Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amos 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.
And 'Uzziyahu slept with his fathers, and they buried him with his fathers in the burial-field which belonged to the kings; for they said, He is a leper: and Jotham his son became king in his stead.
