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, when, he, was sixteen years old, —and made him king, instead 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, fifty-two years, reigned he in Jerusalem, -and, the name of his mother, was Jechiliah, 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 eyes of Yahweh, —according to all that Amaziah his father had done.
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 it came to pass that he set himself to seek God, in the days of Zechariah, who gave understanding in the seeing of God, —and, throughout the days of his seeking Yahweh, God, prospered him.
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.
So he went forth and made war against the Philistines, and brake down the wall of Gath, and the wall of Jabneh, and the wall of Ashdod, —and built cities in 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 who dwelt in Gur-baal, and the Meunim.
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 a present to Uzziah, —and his name went forth as far as the entering in of Egypt, for he shewed exceeding great strength.
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.
And Uzziah built towers, in Jerusalem, over the corner-gate, and over the valley-gate, and over the angle, —and he made them strong.
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.
And he built towers in the desert, and digged many wells, for, much cattle, had he, both in the lowland, and in the plain, —husbandmen and vinedressers, in the mountains and in the fruitful field, for, a lover of the soil, was he.
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.
And it came to pass that Uzziah had a force ready to make war, to go forth as a host in company, by the number of their reckoning, under the direction of Jeiel the scribe, and Maaseiah the officer, —under the direction of Hananiah, from among the captains of the king.
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 ancestral chiefs pertaining to the heroes of valour, was 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 direction, was the force of a host, three hundred and seven thousand five hundred, ready to make war, with the strength of a force, —for helping the king against an 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, for all the host, bucklers and spears and helmets, and coats of mail, and bows, —and yea even sling-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, inventions invented of the inventor, to be upon the towers and upon the turrets, for throwing with arrows, and with great stones, —so that his name went forth afar, for he was marvellously helped, until that 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 became strong, uplifted was his heart, unto ruin, for he acted unfaithfully against Yahweh his God, —and entered into the temple of Yahweh, 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.
Then entered after him, Azariah the priest, —and with him eighty priests of Yahweh, sons of valour;
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 took their stand against Uzziah the king, and said unto him-It is not, for thee, O Uzziah, to burn incense unto Yahweh, but, for the priests, the sons of Aaron, who are hallowed, to burn incense. Go forth out of the sanctuary, for thou hast acted unfaithfully, and, not to thee, for an honour, [shall it be] from Yahweh Elohim.
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 was Uzziah wroth, and, in his hand, was a censer, to burn incense, —and, when he was wroth with the priests, a leprosy, shot forth in his forehead, before the priests, in the house of Yahweh, from off the altar of incense.
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.
When Azariah the chief priest and all the priests turned towards him, lo! he, was leprous, in his forehead, so they hastened him from thence, —yea, even he himself, hurried to go out, because Yahweh 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 it came to pass that, Uzziah the king, was a leper until the day of his death, and dwelt in a house apart—a leper, for he was cut off from the house of Yahweh, —and, Jotham his son, was over the house of the king, 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 story of Uzziah, first and last, hath Isaiah son of Amoz, the prophet, written.
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.
And Uzziah slept with his fathers, and they buried him with his fathers in the field of burial that pertained unto the kings, for they said, A leper, he is. And Jotham his son reigned in his stead.
