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 the 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 Eloth and restored it to Judah. After that 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 began to reign; and he reigned fifty-two years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jechiliah, of Jerusalem.
4 Ary nanao izay mahitsy eo imason’ i Jehovah izy, tahaka izay rehetra nataon’ i Amazia rainy.
He did that which was right in the LORD’s eyes, according to 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.
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 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.
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 Ary Andriamanitra nanampy azy hamely ny Filistina sy ny Arabo izay nonina tao Gorabala ary ny Meonita.
God helped him against the Philistines, and against the Arabians who lived in Gur Baal, and the Meunim.
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 gave tribute to Uzziah. His name spread abroad even to the entrance of Egypt, for he grew exceedingly strong.
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.
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 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 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 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.
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 Enin-jato amby roa rivo no isan’ ny lohan’ ny fianakaviana rehetra, dia lehilahy mahery avokoa.
The whole number of the heads of fathers’ households, even the mighty men of valour, was two thousand and 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.
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 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, even 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 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 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 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 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 the LORD, who were 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.
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 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 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 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 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 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, 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 Ary ny tantaran’ i Ozia sisa, na ny voalohany na ny farany, dia efa nosoratan’ Isaia mpaminany, zanak’ i Amoza;
Now the rest of the acts of Uzziah, first and last, Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, wrote.
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 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.
