2 Whakapapa 26
1 Katahi te iwi katoa o Hura ka mau ki a Utia, kotahi tekau ma ono nei ona tau, a meinga ana hei kingi i muri i tona papa, i a Amatia.
Then all the people of Judah took Uzziah, who [was] sixteen years old, and made him king in the room of his father Amaziah.
2 Na tenei i hanga Eroto, a whakahokia ana ki a Hura, i muri i te moenga o te kingi ki ona matua.
He built Eloth, and restored it to Judah, after that the king slept with his fathers.
3 Kotahi tekau ma ono nga tau o Utia i tona kingitanga, a e rima tekau ma rua ona tau i kingi ai ia ki Hiruharama; a ko te ingoa o tona whaea, ko Iekoria, no Hiruharama.
Sixteen years old [was] Uzziah when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty and two years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name also [was] Jecoliah of Jerusalem.
4 I tika tana mahi ki te titiro a Ihowa, i rite ki nga mea katoa i mea ai tona papa, a Amatia.
And he did [that which was] right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father Amaziah did.
5 I rapua e ia ta te Atua i nga ra o Hakaraia, he tangata mohio tera i nga whakakitenga mai a te Atua. Na i nga ra i rapua ai e ia ta Ihowa, ka meinga ia e te Atua kia kake.
And he sought God in the days of Zechariah, who had understanding in the visions of God: and as long as he sought the LORD, God made him to prosper.
6 I haere ano ia ki te whawhai ki nga Pirihitini, a wawahia ana e ia te taiepa o Kata, me te taiepa o Iapane, me te taiepa o Aharoro; a hanga ana e ia etahi pa ki te whenua o Aharoro, ki roto hoki i nga Pirihitini.
And he went forth and warred against the Philistines, and brake down the wall of Gath, and the wall of Jabneh, and the wall of Ashdod, and built cities about Ashdod, and among the Philistines.
7 A i awhinatia ia e te Atua i te whawhai ki nga Pirihitini, ki nga Arapi i noho ki Kurupaara, ratou ko nga Meunimi.
And God helped him against the Philistines, and against the Arabians that dwelt in Gur-baal, and the Mehunims.
8 A homai ana e nga Amoni he hakari ki a Utia; paku ana hoki tona ingoa a tae noa ki te tomokanga ki Ihipa; na ka nui atu tona kaha.
And the Ammonites gave gifts to Uzziah: and his name spread abroad [even] to the entering in of Egypt; for he strengthened [himself] exceedingly.
9 I hanga ano e Utia etahi pourewa ki Hiruharama, ki te kuwaha i te kokonga, ki te kuwaha i te raorao, ki te koki o te taiepa, hanga ana e ia kia kaha.
Moreover Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem at the corner gate, and at the valley gate, and at the turning [of the wall], and fortified them.
10 I hanga ano e ia etahi pourewa ki te koraha, a keria ana etahi poka wai, he maha, he tini hoki ana kararehe; i te raorao ano, a i te mania: a he kaimahi whenua ana, he kaimahi waina i nga maunga, i nga mara whai hua hoki: he tangata ahu whenua h oki ia.
Also he built towers in the desert, and digged many wells: for he had much cattle, both in the low country, and in the plains: husbandmen [also], and vine dressers in the mountains, and in Carmel: for he loved husbandry.
11 He ope ano ta Utia, he hunga whawhai; i haere a ropu ki te whawhai; ko te tokomaha, kei to ratou tauanga e Teiere kaituhituhi raua ko te kaiwhakahaere, ko Hanania, ko tetahi o nga rangatira a te kingi.
Moreover Uzziah had an host of fighting men, that went out to war by bands, according to the number of their account by the hand of Jeiel the scribe and Maaseiah the ruler, under the hand of Hananiah, [one] of the king’s captains.
12 Ko te tokomaha katoa o nga upoko o nga whare o nga matua o nga toa marohirohi, e rua mano e ono rau.
The whole number of the chief of the fathers of the mighty men of valour [were] two thousand and six hundred.
13 Na, ko te ope hei arahi ma ratou, he mea i rakaia, e toru rau e whitu mano e rima rau, he hunga i kaha rawa ta ratou whawhai, hei tuara mo te kingi ki te hoariri.
And under their hand [was] an army, three hundred thousand and seven thousand and five hundred, that made war with mighty power, to help the king against the enemy.
14 Kua pae noa ake i a Utia he whakangungu rakau mo ratou puta noa i te ope, te tao, he potae, he pukupuku, he kopere, he kotaha piu kohatu.
And Uzziah prepared for them throughout all the host shields, and spears, and helmets, and habergeons, and bows, and slings [to cast] stones.
15 I hanga ano e ia etahi mea ki Hiruharama, he mea whakaaro na nga tangata mohio, hei uta ki runga i nga pourewa, i nga pou koki, hei kopere i nga pere, i nga kohatu nunui hoki. A paku ana tona ingoa ki tawhiti; he hanga whakamiharo hoki tona awhi natanga a kaha noa ake ia.
And he made in Jerusalem engines, invented by cunning men, to be on the towers and upon the bulwarks, to shoot arrows and great stones withal. And his name spread far abroad; for he was marvellously helped, till he was strong.
16 Otiia i a ia ka kaha nei, ka whakakake tona ngakau, ka mahi i te kino, a takahia ana e ia ta Ihowa, ta tona Atua; i tomo hoki ia ki te temepara o Ihowa, ki te tahu whakakakara ki runga ki te aata whakakakara.
But when he was strong, his heart was lifted up to [his] destruction: for he transgressed against the LORD his God, and went into the temple of the LORD to burn incense upon the altar of incense.
17 Na ka haere atu i muri i a ia a Ataria tohunga, ratou ko etahi tohunga o Ihowa, e waru tekau, he hunga maia.
And Azariah the priest went in after him, and with him fourscore priests of the LORD, [that were] valiant men:
18 Na ka turia atu e ratou a Utia, te kingi, a ka mea ratou ki a ia, E kore e tika mau, e Utia, te tahu whakakakara ki a Ihowa; engari ma nga tohunga, ma nga tama a Arona, i whakatapua nei hei tahu whakakakara. Haere atu i te wahi tapu kua he hoki koe; ehara hoki i te mea e whai kororia ai koe i te Atua, i a Ihowa.
And they withstood Uzziah the king, and said unto him, [It appertaineth] not unto thee, Uzziah, to burn incense unto the LORD, but to the priests the sons of Aaron, that are consecrated to burn incense: go out of the sanctuary; for thou hast trespassed; neither [shall it be] for thine honour from the LORD God.
19 Katahi ka riri a Utia; i tona ringa ano he tahu kakara hei tahu whakakakara; a, i a ia e riri ana ki nga tohunga, ka puta ake te repera i tona rae i te aroaro o nga tohunga i roto i te whare o Ihowa, i te taha o te aata tahu whakakakara.
Then Uzziah was wroth, and [had] a censer in his hand to burn incense: and while he was wroth with the priests, the leprosy even rose up in his forehead before the priests in the house of the LORD, from beside the incense altar.
20 A, ko te tahuritanga o te tino tohunga, o Ataria, ratou ko nga tohunga katoa ki a ia, nana, he repera tera kei tona rae, peia ana ia e ratou i reira; ko ia ano i hohoro te haere, no te mea kua pakia ia e Ihowa.
And Azariah the chief priest, and all the priests, looked upon him, and, behold, he [was] leprous in his forehead, and they thrust him out from thence; yea, himself hasted also to go out, because the LORD had smitten him.
21 Na he repera a Utia te kingi a taea noatia te ra i mate ai, a noho ana i te whare motuhake, he repera hoki, he mea momotu atu hoki i te whare o Ihowa; a ko tana tama ko Iotama, te rangatira mo te whare o te kingi, hei kaiwhakarite mo te iwi o te whenua,
And Uzziah the king was a leper unto the day of his death, and dwelt in a several house, [being] a leper; for he was cut off from the house of the LORD: and Jotham his son [was] over the king’s house, judging the people of the land.
22 Na ko era atu meatanga a Utia, o mua, o muri, kua oti te tuhituhi e Ihaia poropiti tama a Amoho.
Now the rest of the acts of Uzziah, first and last, did Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, write.
23 Heoi kua moe a Utia ki ona matua, a tanumia iho ki ona matua ki te mara i to nga kingi tanumanga; i mea hoki ratou, He repera ia; a ko tana tama, ko Iotama, te kingi i muri i a ia.
So Uzziah slept with his fathers, and they buried him with his fathers in the field of the burial which [belonged] to the kings; for they said, He [is] a leper: and Jotham his son reigned in his stead.
