2 Tantara 26
1 Ary ny vahoaka rehetra tamin’ ny Joda naka an’ i Ozia, izay enina ambin’ ny folo taona, ka nampanjaka azy handimby an’ i Amazia rainy.
Then all the people of Judah appointed his son, Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, as king in place of his father, Amaziah.
2 Izy no nanamboatra an’ i Elota ka nampody azy ho an’ ny Joda indray, rehefa lasa nodimandry any amin’ ny razany ny mpanajaka.
He built up Eloth, and he restored it to the dominion of Judah. After this, the king slept with his fathers.
3 Enina ambin’ ny folo taona Ozia, fony izy vao nanjaka, ary roa amby dimam-polo taona no nanjakany tany Jerosalema. Ary ny anaran-dreniny dia Jekolia, avy any Jerosalema.
Uzziah was sixteen years old when he had begun to reign. And he reigned for fifty-two years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Jecoliah, from Jerusalem.
4 Ary nanao izay mahitsy eo imason’ i Jehovah izy, tahaka izay rehetra nataon’ i Amazia rainy.
And he did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, in accord with all that his father, Amaziah, had done.
5 Ary nitady an’ Andriamanitra izy tamin’ ny andron’ i Zakaria, izay nahafantatra ny fahitana an’ Andriamanitra; ary tamin’ ny andro nitadiavany an’ i Jehovah dia nambinin’ Andriamanitra izy.
And he sought the Lord, during the days of Zechariah, who understood and saw God. And while he was seeking the Lord, he directed him in all things.
6 Ary nivoaka izy ka niady tamin’ ny Filistina, dia nandrava ny mandan’ i Gata sy ny an’ i Jabne sy ny an’ i Asdoda ary nanao tanàna tany Asdoda sy tany amin’ ny Filistina.
Indeed, he went out and fought against the Philistines. And he destroyed the wall of Gath, and the wall of Jabneh, and the wall of Ashdod. Also, he built towns in Ashdod, and among the Philistines.
7 Ary Andriamanitra nanampy azy hamely ny Filistina sy ny Arabo izay nonina tao Gorabala ary ny Meonita.
And God helped him against the Philistines, and against the Arabians, who were living in Gurbaal, and against the Ammonites.
8 Ary ny Amonita nandoa hetra ho an’ i Ozia; dia niely ny lazany hatrany akaikin’ i Egypta, fa tonga mahery indrindra izy.
And the Ammonites weighed out gifts to Uzziah. And his name became widely known, even to the entrance of Egypt, because of his frequent victories.
9 Ary Ozia nanao tilikambo tany Jerosalema, teo amin’ ny vavahady an-jorony sy teo amin’ ny vavahady mankao amin’ ny tany lemaka sy teo an-jorony ka nanamafy azy.
And Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem, above the gate of the corner, and above the gate of the valley, and others on the same side of the wall, and he fortified them.
10 Ary nanao tilikambo tany an-efitra koa izy sady nihady lavaka maro ho famorian-drano; fa izy nanana omby aman’ ondry betsaka teny an-tany lemaka sy teny an-tanety ary mpiasa koa sy mpamboatra tanim-boaloboka teny an-tendrombohitra sy teny Karmela koa; fa tia asa tany izy.
Then he also constructed towers in the wilderness, and dug many cisterns, because he had much cattle, both in the plains and in the starkness of the wilderness. Also, he had vineyards and dressers of vines in the mountains and at Carmel. Certainly, he was a man devoted to agriculture.
11 Ary Ozia nanana miaramila maro, izay nanao antokony handeha hanafika, dia araka ny isany izay nandaminan’ i Jeiela mpanoratra sy Mahaseia mpifehy azy, ka nofehezin’ i Hanania, anankiray tamin’ ny komandy voatendrin’ ny mpanjaka.
Now the army of his warriors, who would go forth to battle, was under the hand of Jeiel, the scribe, and Maaseiah, the teacher, and under the hand of Hananiah, who was among the king’s commanders.
12 Enin-jato amby roa rivo no isan’ ny lohan’ ny fianakaviana rehetra, dia lehilahy mahery avokoa.
And the entire number of the leaders, by the families of strong men, was two thousand six hundred.
13 Ary ny miaramila fehezin’ ireo dia diman-jato amby fito arivo sy telo hetsy, izay nahery niady indrindra, homba ny mpanjaka hiady amin’ ny fahavalony.
And the entire army under them was three hundred and seven thousand five hundred, who were fit for war, and who fought on behalf of the king against the adversaries.
14 Ary Ozia namboatra ampinga sy lefona sy fiarovan-doha sy akanjo fiarovan-tratra sy tsipìka ary vaton’ antsamotady ho an’ ireo miaramila rehetra ireo.
Also, Uzziah prepared for them, that is, for the entire army, shields, and spears, and helmets, and breastplates, and bows, as well as slings for the casting of stones.
15 Ary nanao fiadiana lehibe tany Jerosalema izy, natao araka ny marika vitan’ ny mahay zavatra, hapetraka eo amin’ ny tilikambo sy eo an-tampon’ ny manda mba handefasana zana-tsipìka sy vato lehibe. Ary niely lavitra ny lazan’ i Ozia; fa mahagaga ny nanampiana azy, ka tonga mahery tokoa izy.
And in Jerusalem, he made various kinds of machines, which he placed in the towers, and at the corners of the walls, so as to shoot arrows and large stones. And his name went forth to far away places, for the Lord was helping him and had strengthened him.
16 Ary nony nahery izy, dia niavonavona ny fony, ka nanao izay ratsy izy, fa nivadika tamin’ i Jehovah Andriamaniny ka niditra tao amin’ ny tempolin’ i Jehovah handoro ditin-kazo manitra teo amln’ ny alitara fandoroana ditin-kazo manitra.
But when he had become strong, his heart was lifted up, even to his own destruction. And he neglected the Lord his God. And entering into the temple of the Lord, he intended to burn incense upon the altar of incense.
17 Fa niditra nanaraka azy kosa Azaria mpisorona mbamin’ ny valo-polo lahy amin’ ny mpisoron’ i Jehovah, lehilahy samy mahery avokoa.
And entering immediately after him, Azariah the priest, and with him eighty priests of the Lord, very valiant men,
18 Ary nanohitra an’ i Ozia mpanjaka ireo ka nanao taminy hoe: Tsy raharahanao, ry Ozia, ny handoro ditin-kazo manitra ho an’ i Jehovah, fa an’ ny mpisorona ihany, dia ny taranak’ i Arona, izay nohamasinina handoro ditin-kazo manitra. Mialà amin’ ny fitoerana masìna, fa nanao izay mahadiso ianao; ary tsy ho voninahitra ho anao eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah Andriamanitra izany.
withstood the king, and they said: “It is not your office, Uzziah, to burn incense to the Lord; rather, it is the office of the priests, that is, of the sons of Aaron, who have been consecrated for this same ministry. Depart from the sanctuary, otherwise you will be in contempt. For this act will not be reputed to you for your glory by the Lord God.”
19 Dia nisafoaka Ozia, ary nisy lovia teny an-tànany handoroany ditin-kazo manitra; koa raha mbola nisafoaka tamin’ ny mpisorona izy, dia nisy habokana nipoitra tamin’ ny handriny teo anatrehan’ ny mpisorona tao an-tranon’ i Jehovah, tanilan’ ny alitara fandoroana ditin-kazo manitra.
And Uzziah, having become angry, while holding in his hand the censer so that he might burn incense, threatened the priests. And immediately a leprosy arose on his forehead, in the sight of the priests, in the house of the Lord, at the altar of incense.
20 Ary Azaria mpisoronabe sy ny mpisorona rehetra dia nanatrika nijery azy, ka, indro, boka ny handriny; dia noroahiny hiala teo izy; nefa ny tenany dia mba nivoaka faingana ihany koa, satria Jehovah efa namely azy.
And when the high priest Azariah, and all the rest of the priests, had gazed upon him, they saw the leprosy on his forehead, and they hurried to expel him. Then too, he himself, becoming terrified, rushed to depart, because immediately he had become aware of the wound of the Lord.
21 Ary Ozia mpanjaka dia boka ambara-pahafatiny ka nitoetra tao an-trano mitokana, satria tsy nahazo niditra tao an-tranon’ i Jehovah intsony izy. Ka dia Jotama zanany no nanapaka tao an-dapa sady nitsara ny vahoaka.
And so, king Uzziah was a leper, even until the day of his death. And he lived in a separate house, being full of leprosy, because of which he had been ejected from the house of the Lord. Then Jotham, his son, directed the house of the king, and he was judging the people of the land.
22 Ary ny tantaran’ i Ozia sisa, na ny voalohany na ny farany, dia efa nosoratan’ Isaia mpaminany, zanak’ i Amoza;
But the rest of the words of Uzziah, the first and the last, were written by the prophet Isaiah, the son of Amoz.
23 Ary Ozia lasa nodi-mandry any amin’ ny razany, dia nalevina tao amin’ ny razany tao an-tsaha fandevenana izay an’ ny mpanjaka, satria hoy ny olona: Boka izy. Ary Jotama zanany no nanjaka nandimby azy.
And Uzziah slept with his fathers. And they buried him in the field of the royal sepulchers, because he was a leper. And Jotham, his son, reigned in his place.
