2 Tantara 26
1 Rinambe’ o hene ondati’ Iehodao t’i Ozià, ie ni-folo-tao-eneñ’ amby, le nanoe’ iereo mpanjaka handimbe an-drae’e Amatsià.
All the people of Judah took Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in place of his father Amaziah.
2 Namboare’e t’i Elote vaho nahere’e am’Iehoda, ie fa nirotse aman-droae’e i mpanjakay.
Uzziah was the one who rebuilt Eloth and restored it to Judah after King Amaziah rested with his fathers.
3 Folo-taoñe eneñ’ amby t’i Ozià te niorotse nifehe, le nifehe limampolo-ro’ amby taoñe e Ierosalaime ao. Iekolià nte-Ierosalaime ty tahinan-drene’e.
Uzziah was sixteen years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem fifty-two years. His mother’s name was Jecoliah; she was from Jerusalem.
4 Le nanao ty fahiti’e am-pivazohoa’ Iehovà manahake ty nanoen-drae’e Amatsiày.
And he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, just as his father Amaziah had done.
5 Nitolom-pipay an’ Andrianañahare re tañ’ andro’ i Zekarià, le nampahihits’ aze o aroñaron’ Añahareo; vaho nampiraoraoen’ Añahare amo hene andro nipaia’e Iehovào.
He sought God throughout the days of Zechariah, who instructed him in the fear of God. And as long as he sought the LORD, God gave him success.
6 Le nionjomb’eo re nialy amo nte-Pelistio, le rinoba’e ty kijoli’ i Gate naho ty kijoli’ Iabnè naho ty kijoli’ Asdode vaho namboare’e rova mañohoke i Asdode añivo’ o nte-Pelistio.
Uzziah went out to wage war against the Philistines, and he tore down the walls of Gath, Jabneh, and Ashdod. Then he built cities near Ashdod and among the Philistines.
7 Le nañolotse aze amo nte-Pelistio naho amo nte-Arabe nimoneñe e Gorbaaleo naho amo nte-Mehoneo t’i Andrianañahare.
God helped him against the Philistines, against the Arabs living in Gur-baal, and against the Meunites.
8 Le nañenga rorotse amy Ozià o nte-Amoneo; vaho niboele mb’eo mb’eo ty tahina’e pak’ am-pimoahañe e Mitsraime añe, amy te ra’elahy ty hafatrara’e.
The Ammonites brought tribute to Uzziah, and his fame spread as far as the border of Egypt, for he had become exceedingly powerful.
9 Mbore namboatse fitalakesañ’ abo e Ierosalaime ao t’i Ozià amy lalambein-kotsokey naho amy lalambeim-bavataney naho amy lalambein-kotsokey vaho nihafatrare’e.
Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem at the Corner Gate, the Valley Gate, and the angle in the wall, and he fortified them.
10 Niranjie’e fitalakesañ’ abo ka ty an-dratraratra añe naho nihaly vovoñe maro, ie aman-kare maro, ndra an-tane kepak’ ao, ndra a montoñe ao, naho mpiarake naho mpañalahala vahe am-bohitse ao naho e Karmele añe, fa nitea’e ty nitolon-tane.
Since he had much livestock in the foothills and in the plain, he built towers in the desert and dug many cisterns. And since he was a lover of the soil, he had farmers and vinedressers in the hill country and in the fertile fields.
11 Toe nanan-dahindefoñe t’i Ozià, mpionjomb’ añ’aly am-pirimboñañe ty ami’ty ia’ nilahare’ Ieiele mpanokitse naho i Maaseià mpitoloñe, ambanem-pità’ i Kananià, raik’ amo mpifehe’ i mpanjakaio.
Uzziah had an army ready for battle that went out to war by assigned divisions, as recorded by Jeiel the scribe and Maaseiah the officer under the direction of Hananiah, one of the royal officers.
12 Ty ia’ o hene talèn’ anjomban-draeo, o fanalolahy nahasibekeo, le ro’arivo-tsi-enenjato.
The total number of family leaders of the mighty men of valor was 2,600.
13 Ambanem-pità’ iareo ty valobohòm-pialy naòke, telo-hetse-tsi-fito-arivo-tsi-liman-jato, ty mpialy an-kafatrarañe, hañolotse i mpanjakay amy rafelahiy.
Under their authority was an army of 307,500 trained for war, a powerful force to support the king against his enemies.
14 Nihentseñe fikalan-defoñe naho lefoñe naho aron-doha naho sarimbo viñe tinenoñe naho fale vaho vato-piletse ho a iareo, toe ho a i valobohòkey, t’i Ozià.
Uzziah supplied the entire army with shields, spears, helmets, armor, bows, and slingstones.
15 Nandranjia’e masina t’Ierosalaime, sata’ ondaty mahimbañe, amo fitalakesañ’ aboo naho an-kotsoke ey, ho fampihirirìñañe ana-pale naho vato jabajaba. Le niboele tsietoitane añe ty tahina’e, amy t’ie nolorañe soa am-para’ te naozatse.
And in Jerusalem he made skillfully designed devices to shoot arrows and catapult large stones from the towers and corners. So his fame spread far and wide, for he was helped tremendously so that he became powerful.
16 Ie naozatse, le nientatse ty arofo’e ho ami’ty fandrotsahañ’ aze ie nandilatse amy Iehovà Andrianañahare’e; amy t’ie nimoake an-kiboho’ Iehovà ao hañembok’ amy kitrelim-pañembohañey.
But when Uzziah grew powerful, his arrogance led to his own destruction. He was unfaithful to the LORD his God, for he entered the temple of the LORD to burn incense on the altar of incense.
17 Nañorik’ aze ao t’i Azarià mpisoroñe reketse ty mpisoro’ Iehovà valompolo, ondaty mahasibeke;
Then Azariah the priest, along with eighty brave priests of the LORD, went in after him.
18 le natretrè’ iareo t’i Ozià mpanjaka, nanao ty hoe ama’e: Tsy ihe, ry Ozià, ty mañembok’ am’ Iehovà fa o mpisoroñe ana’ i Aharone norizañeo ro hañemboke; iavoto o toetse masiñeo, fa nandilatse; ie tsy hañonjoñ’ azo amy Iehovà Andrianañahare.
They took their stand against King Uzziah and said, “Uzziah, you have no right to offer incense to the LORD. Only the priests, the descendants of Aaron, are consecrated to burn incense. Leave the sanctuary, for you have acted unfaithfully; you will not receive honor from the LORD God.”
19 Niforoforo amy zao t’i Ozià, ie am-pità’e eo ty fañembohañe hañemboha’e, le niloroloroa’e i mpisoroñe rey fe niboak’ an-kandri’e eo ty angamae, añ’atrefa’ i mpisoroñe rey, añ’ ila’ i kitrelim-pañembohañey, añ’ anjomba’ Iehovà ao.
Uzziah, with a censer in his hand to offer incense, was enraged. But while he raged against the priests in their presence in the house of the LORD before the altar of incense, leprosy broke out on his forehead.
20 Hene niisa’ i Azarià mpisorom-bey naho i mpisoroñe rey, te inge, niangamae an-dahara’e eo, le naronje’ iareo boak’ ao ami’ty manao zao; eka toe nihitrihitry t’ie niavotse, amy nandafa’ Iehovà azey.
When Azariah the chief priest and all the priests turned to him and saw his leprous forehead, they rushed him out. Indeed, he himself hurried to get out, because the LORD had afflicted him.
21 Niangamae am-para’ ty andro nivetraha’e t’i Ozià mpanjaka, le nimoneñe an-traño navik’ ao amy haangamae’ey; ie naitoañ’ amy anjomba’ Iehovày; le nifehe ty anjombam-panjaka t’Iotame ana’e, nizaka ondati’ i taneio.
So King Uzziah was a leper until the day of his death. He lived in isolation, leprous and cut off from the house of the LORD, while his son Jotham had charge of the royal palace to govern the people of the land.
22 Ty ila’ o fitoloña’ i Ozià, boak’ am-baloha’e pak’ am-para’eo le sinoki’ Iesaià mpitoky, ana’ i Amotse.
As for the rest of the acts of Uzziah, from beginning to end, they are recorded by the prophet Isaiah son of Amoz.
23 Aa le nitrao firòtse aman-droae’e t’i Ozià; le nalente’ iareo marine an-droae’e an-tanem-pandeveñam-panjaka; fa hoe iereo, Angamae re. Le nandimbe aze nifehe t’Iotame, ana’e.
And Uzziah rested with his fathers and was buried near them in a field of burial that belonged to the kings; for the people said, “He was a leper.” And his son Jotham reigned in his place.
