8 Ama-Amoni aletha umthelo wawo ku-Uziya, udumo lwakhe lwanda lasemingceleni kusiyafika eGibhithe, ngoba wayeselamandla amakhulu.

Hagi Amoni vahe'mo'za takisi zagoa eri'za Usiana eme nemizageno, agenke'amo'a Isipi mopa atumparega vuno eno hu'ne. Na'ankure agra tusi hihamu'ane kini efore huno mani'ne.

9 U-Uziya wakha imiphotshongo eJerusalema ngaseSangweni leNgosi langaseSangweni leSigodi langasengosini yomduli, wayivikela ngezinqaba.

Hagi Usia'a Jerusalemi kumapina Kona kafane nehaza kafante'ene Agupo Kafane nehaza kafante'enema mani'neza vaheku'ma kegavama hu za'za nontamina kinte'ne.

10 Wakha njalo imiphotshongo enkangala, wemba imithombo eminengi, ngoba wayefuyile elemihlambi yezifuyo emawatheni amaqaqa lasemagcekeni. Wayelabantu bokulima lababesezivinini emaqaqeni lasemhlabeni ovundileyo, ngoba wayethanda ukulima.

Na'ankure agra Sefela kokampine, agupofinena tusi'a bulimakao afu kevu ante'negu anara hu'ne. Ana nehuno tusi eri'za vahetami zamavarege'za hozafine, waini hozafinena eri'zana eri'naze. Na'ankure agra hozama ante'zanku avesi avesi nehia ne' mani'ne.

11 U-Uziya wayelamabutho ayekwazi ukulwa ebuthwe ngamaviyo ayeqoqwe nguJeyiyeli umabhalane loMaseya isikhulu esasiqondiswa nguHananiya, omunye wezikhulu zomndlunkulu.

Hagi Usia'a himamutino ha'ma huga sondia vahe'tmina, refko huno kevure kevure zmantege'za hate vunaku retro hu'za mani'naze. Hagi sondia vahe'ma refko huno kevure kevure'ma zmante'neana, kini ne'mo'ma huntegeno'ma sondia vahete'ma kegavama hu'nea ne' Hanania'a huznantegeke Jeieli'ene Maseiake vugota huke ana eri'zana eri'na'e.

Hagi koro osu hankavenentake sondia vahetmima mago mago naga nofipima ugotama huterema hu'naza vahe'ma mani'nazana 2tausen 600'a vahe mani'naze.

13 Babelawula ibutho elilamadoda abazinkulungwane ezingamakhulu amathathu lesikhombisa lamakhulu amahlanu ayefundele ukulwa, amaviyo alamandla okuhlomulela inkosi ezitheni zayo.

Hagi ana sondia vahe'mo'zama kegavama hu'nazana 307tausen 500'a sondia vahe hankavematino ha'ma huno, kini ne'mofoma azama huga sondia vahetamina mani'naze.

14 U-Uziya wahlomisa amabutho akhe wonke ngezihlangu, imikhonto, ingowane zensimbi lamabhatshi ensimbi, lemitshoko lamatshe ezavutha.

Hagi ana sondia vahe'mo'zama ha'ma ome hanaza ha' zantamina, Usia'a mika sondia vahe'amofo hankoma, kevema, ainire kankri'ma, amimizare'ma antani hankoma, atima, kumi atifima anteno ahe havenena mika retro huzmante'ne.

15 EJerusalema wakhandisa imitshina yokufutha imitshoko leyokujikijela amatshe amakhulu ayikhandisa emadodeni ayezingcitshi eyayisetshenziswa emiphotshongweni esemajikweni. Udumo lwakhe lwanda lwayafika kude, ngoba wancediswa kakhulu waze waba lamandla amakhulu kakhulu.

Hagi Jerusalemi kumapina Usia'a higeno antahi'zama eri'naza zaza nonte'ma mani'neza kevene ranra haveraminema erirusi hu'za ahetre masinirami tro hu'naze. Ana hazageno, kini ne'mofo agimo'a mareri'ne. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'a knare huno aza higeno tusi'a hihamu'ane kini ne' efore hu'ne.

16 Kodwa kwathi u-Uziya eselamandla amakhulu, ukuziqhenya kwakhe kwamlethela incithakalo. Kazange athembeke kuThixo uNkulunkulu wakhe, waze wangena ethempelini likaThixo, ukuba ayetshisa impepha e-alithareni lempepha.

Hianagi Usia'ma tusi'a hanavenentake kinima efore'ma nehuno'a, agra avufga ra huno agra zante azeri haviza hu'ne. Na'ankure agra Ra Anumzana agra'a Anumzamofona ovaririno, osuga avu'ava huno Ra Anumzamofo mono nompi mnanentake zama kremna vu itarera ome kre mna vunaku ufre'ne.

17 U-Azariya umphristi labanye abaphristi bakaThixo abangamatshumi ayisificaminwembili abalezibindi bamlandela phakathi ethempelini.

Hianagi Anumzamofo pristi ne' Asaria'a, 80'a koro osu hankave pristi vahetami zamavarege'za amefira avaririza ana mono nompina ufre'naze.

18 Bajamelana laye bathi kuye, “Akulunganga ukuthi wena, Uziya, utshisele uThixo impepha. Lokho ngokwabaphristi, abenzalo ka-Aroni, abehlukaniselwa ukutshisa impepha. Phuma kulindawo engcwele, ngoba awuzange wethembeke, njalo awuyikuphakanyiswa nguThixo uNkulunkulu.”

Hagi ana pristi vahe'mo'za Usia avuga vu'za amanage ome hu'naze, Usiaga mnanentake zama Ra Anumzamofontegama kre mnama vu eri'zana kagri eri'zana omne'ne. Hagi pristi vahetmima Aronimpinti'ma fore'ma hu'naza vahe'mo'zage ama eri'zana erigahaze huno zamazeri ruotge hu'ne. Hagi kumi hananki mono nompintira atrenka atiramio. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'a, ama ana zama hana zankura antahi onkamigahie.

19 U-Uziya owayephethe udengezi lokutshisela impepha esandleni sakhe, wathukuthela. Uthe elokhu esakhwazela abaphristi ngoba kwabo phambi kwe-alithari lempepha ethempelini likaThixo, kwaqalisa ubulephero ebunzini lobuso bakhe.

Anagema hazageno'a, Usia'a kre mna vu zana azampi eri'neno kre mna vu'za nehireti tusi arimpagu hu'ne. Hagi Usia'ma ana pristi vahetaminku tusi rimpama nehegeno, Ra Anumzamofo nompi kre mnavu itama me'nere ana pristi vahetmimofo zamavuga ame huno fugo namuna kokovipi fore hu'ne.

20 Kwathi u-Azariya umphristi omkhulu labanye abaphristi bemkhangela, babona eselobulephero ebunzini lakhe, ngakho baphanga bamkhuphela phandle. Lakanye yena ngokwakhe wayevele esefisa ukuphuma, ngoba uThixo wayesemtshayile.

Hagi ugagota pristi ne' Asaria'ene, mago'a pristi vahe'mo'zama kazama fugo namuma kokovitema fore'ma hige'za, ame hu'za avre'za mono nompintira atirami'naze. Ana'ma hazageno'a, agranena ame huno atirami'ne. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'a ana krireti hazenke amino azeri haviza hunaku, atregeno avufgarera efore hu'ne.

21 U-Uziya inkosi waba lobulephero kwaze kwaba lilanga lakhe lokufa. Wayesehlala endlini yakhe eyayimi yodwa ngoba elobulephero njalo engasavunyelwa ethempelini likaThixo. UJothamu indodana yakhe yaphatha isigodlo njalo yaphatha abantu bonke belizwe.

E'ina higeno Usia'a ana fugonkrine mani'neno ufri'ne. Hagi ana krifima mani'neno'a, agraku ru nompi mani'ne. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamofo nompintira ahe megi atre'naze. Hagi nemofo Jotamu avrentageno kini ne'mofo kuma'ene maka vahetaminena kegava hu'ne.

22 Ezinye izehlakalo zombuso ka-Uziya, kusukela ekuqaleni kuze kube sekucineni, zilotshwe ngumphrofethi u-Isaya indodana ka-Amozi.

Hagi Usia'ma kinima mani'neno hu'nea zantamina, Kasnampa ne' Amosi nemofo Aisaia ana mika nanekea avontafepina krente'ne.

23 U-Uziya waphumula labokhokho bakhe wangcwatshwa eduze kwabo ensimini yokungcwaba eyayingeyamakhosi ngoba abantu bathi, “Wayelobulephero.” Ngakho uJothamu indodana yakhe wathatha isikhundla sakhe waba yinkosi.

Hagi Usia'ma frige'za, agra fugo kri eri'ne hu'za nehu'za, agehemokizmima asenezamantazafi matipima kini vahetmima asenezmantazafi asente'naze. Anama hutazageno'a, nemofo Jotamu agri nona erino kinia mani'ne.
