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.
All the people of Judah took Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, and made him 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.
It was he who rebuilt Elath and restored it to Judah. After that the king slept with his ancestors.
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 began to reign. He reigned for fifty-two years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Jekoliah; she was from Jerusalem.
4 Ary nanao izay mahitsy eo imason’ i Jehovah izy, tahaka izay rehetra nataon’ i Amazia rainy.
He did what was right in the eyes of Yahweh, following the example of his father, Amaziah, in everything.
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.
He set himself to seek God in the days of Zechariah, who taught him to honor God. As long as he sought Yahweh, God made him prosper.
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.
Uzziah went out and fought against the Philistines. He broke down the city walls of Gath, Jabneh, and Ashdod; he built cities in the country of Ashdod and among the Philistines.
7 Ary Andriamanitra nanampy azy hamely ny Filistina sy ny Arabo izay nonina tao Gorabala ary ny Meonita.
God helped him against the Philistines, against the Arabians who lived in Gurbaal, and against the Meunites.
8 Ary ny Amonita nandoa hetra ho an’ i Ozia; dia niely ny lazany hatrany akaikin’ i Egypta, fa tonga mahery indrindra izy.
The Ammonites paid tribute to Uzziah, and his fame spread, even to the entrance of Egypt, because he was becoming more powerful.
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.
In addition, Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem at the Corner Gate, at the Valley Gate, and at the turning of the wall, and 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.
He built watchtowers in the wilderness and dug many cisterns, for he had much cattle, in the lowlands as well as in the plains. He had farmers and vine growers in the hill country and in the fruitful fields, for he loved farming.
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.
In addition, Uzziah had an army of fighting men who went out to war in groups which were organized by their number that were counted by Jeiel, the scribe, and Maaseiah, the officer, under the authority of Hananiah, one of the king's commanders.
12 Enin-jato amby roa rivo no isan’ ny lohan’ ny fianakaviana rehetra, dia lehilahy mahery avokoa.
The whole number of the leaders of the families who led the mighty men was 2,600.
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.
Under their hand was an army of 307,500 men that made war with mighty power to help the king against the enemy.
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.
Uzziah prepared for them—for all the army—shields, spears, helmets, coats of mail, bows, and stones for slinging.
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.
In Jerusalem he built machines that were designed by skillful men to be on the towers and on the battlements to shoot arrows and large stones. His fame spread to distant lands, for he was greatly helped and so he became very powerful.
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 Uzziah had become powerful, his heart was lifted up so that he acted corruptly; he trespassed against Yahweh, his God, for he went into the house of Yahweh to burn incense on 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.
Azariah, the priest, went in after him, and with him eighty priests of Yahweh, who were brave 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.
They resisted Uzziah, the king, and said to him, “It is not for you, Uzziah, to burn incense to Yahweh, but for the priests, the sons of Aaron, who are consecrated to burn incense. Go out of the holy place, for you have been unfaithful and you will not be honored by Yahweh 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.
Then Uzziah became angry. He was holding a censer in his hand to burn incense. While he was angry with the priests, leprosy broke out on his forehead before the priests in the house of Yahweh, beside 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.
Azariah the chief priest and all the priests looked at him, and, behold, he had become leprous on his forehead. They quickly drove him out of there. Indeed, he hurried to go out, because Yahweh had struck him.
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.
Uzziah, the king, was a leper to the day of his death and lived in a separate house since he was a leper, for he was cut off from the house of Yahweh. Jotham, his son, was over the king's house and ruled 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;
The other matters concerning Uzziah, from first to last, were recorded by the prophet Isaiah 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.
So Uzziah slept with his ancestors; they buried him with his ancestors in a burial ground that belonged to the kings, for they said, “He is a leper.” Jotham, his son, became king in his place.
