2 Seenaa 26
1 Ergasii namoonni Yihuudaa hundi Uziyaan nama waggaa kudha jaʼa sana fuudhanii iddoo abbaa isaa iddoo Amasiyaa buusanii mootii ni godhan.
All the people of Judah took Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in place of his father Amaziah.
2 Erga Amasiyaa abbootii isaa wajjin boqotee booddee namni Eelootin deebisee ijaaree gara Yihuudaatti deebisee Uziyaan ture.
Uzziah was the one who rebuilt Eloth and restored it to Judah after King Amaziah rested with his fathers.
3 Uziyaan yeroo mootii taʼetti nama waggaa kudha jaʼa ture; innis Yerusaalem keessa taaʼee waggaa shantamii lama ni bulche; maqaan haadha isaa Yekooliyaa ture; isheenis nama Yerusaalem turte.
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 Innis akkuma abbaa isaa Amasiyaa sana fuula Waaqayyoo duratti waan qajeelaa ni hojjete.
And he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, just as his father Amaziah had done.
5 Inni bara Zakkaariyaas isa akka inni Waaqa sodaatu isa barsiise sanaa keessa Waaqa barbaade. Yeroo inni Waaqayyoon barbaade hundas Waaqni isa ni milkoomse.
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 Innis Filisxeemotatti duulee dallaawwan Gaati, kan Yabinee fi kan Ashdood ni diige. Ergasii Ashdood birattii fi bulchiinsota Filisxeemotaa kaan keessatti magaalaawwan deebisee ni ijaare.
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 Yeroo inni Filisxiyaatti, Araboota Guur Baʼaalittii fi Meʼuunootatti kaʼetti Waaqni isa gargaare.
God helped him against the Philistines, against the Arabs living in Gur-baal, and against the Meunites.
8 Warri Amoonis Uziyaaniif gibira ni fidan; sababii inni baayʼee jabaateef gurri isaa hamma daangaa Gibxitti beekame.
The Ammonites brought tribute to Uzziah, and his fame spread as far as the border of Egypt, for he had become exceedingly powerful.
9 Uziyaanis Yerusaalem keessatti Karra Golee irratti, Karra sululaa irrattii fi golee dallaa irratti gamoowwan eegumsaa ni ijaare.
Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem at the Corner Gate, the Valley Gate, and the angle in the wall, and he fortified them.
10 Akkasumas inni sababii gaarran jalaa fi dirree irraa horii akka malee baayʼee qabuuf gammoojjii keessatti gamoowwan eegumsaa ijaaree boolla bishaanii hedduus ni qote; inni waan hojii qotiisaa jaallatuuf qottoota gaarranii fi lafa gabbataa qotanii wayiniis dhaaban qaba ture.
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 Kana malees Uziyaan hoomaa waraanaa kan akka gaarii leenjifamee waraanaaf qophaaʼe qaba ture; hoomaan waraanaa kunis dura buʼummaa Hanaaniyaa isa qondaaltota mootichaa keessaa tokko taʼe sanaan akkuma baayʼina isaaniitti garee gareedhaan Yeʼiiʼeel barreessaa sanaa fi Maʼaseyaa ajajjichaan gurmeeffame.
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 Baayʼinni hooggantota maatii kanneen loltoota irratti muudamanii walumatti 2,600 ture.
The total number of family leaders of the mighty men of valor was 2,600.
13 Ajaja isaanii jalattis hoomaa waraanaa kan namoota lolaaf leenjifaman 307,500 of keessaa qabu tokkotu ture; hoomaan kunis humna guddaa kan yeroo mootichi diinota isaatti duulutti isa gargaaruu dha.
Under their authority was an army of 307,500 trained for war, a powerful force to support the king against his enemies.
14 Uziyaan loltoota hundaaf gaachana, eeboo, gonfoo sibiilaa, qomee sibiilaa, xiyyaa fi furrisa dhagaa kenne.
Uzziah supplied the entire army with shields, spears, helmets, armor, bows, and slingstones.
15 Innis Yerusaalem keessatti meeshaawwan namoota ogeeyyiidhaan hojjetaman kanneen gamoowwan eegumsaatii fi goleewwan ittisaa gubbaatti xiyya darbachuu fi dhagaa furuursuuf fayyadan ijaare. Innis hamma jabaatutti waan gargaarsa argateef maqaan isaa fagootti illee balʼinaan ni beekame.
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 Garuu Uziyaan erga jabaatee booddee, of tuulummaan isaa kufaatii isatti fide. Innis iddoo aarsaa ixaanaatti ixaana aarsuuf mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo seenuudhaan amanamummaa Waaqayyo Waaqa isaatiif qabu irraa duubatti ni deebiʼe.
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 Azaariyaa lubichis luboota Waaqayyoo warra waa hin sodaanne kan biraa saddeettama wajjin isa duukaa ni seene.
Then Azariah the priest, along with eighty brave priests of the LORD, went in after him.
18 Isaanis Uziyaan mootichaan mormanii, “Yaa Uziyaan Waaqayyoof ixaana aarsuun luboota sanyii Aroon warra ixaana aarsuuf filataman sanaaf malee siif hin malu. Ati sababii amanamaa hin taʼiniif Waaqayyo Waaqa biraa ulfina hin argattuutii iddoo qulqulluu kanaa baʼi” jedhaniin.
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 Uziyaanis utuu ixaana aarsuuf girgiraa harkatti qabatee qophaaʼee jiruu ni aare. Innis utuma mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo keessatti iddoo aarsaa ixaana duratti lubootatti aaraa jiruu ijuma isaanii duratti lamxiin adda isaatti ni baʼe.
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 Azaariyaa lubichi hangafnii fi luboonni biraa hundinuu yeroo isa ilaalanitti akka lamxiin adda isaa irra jiru ni argan; kanaafuu isaan dafanii gad isa baasan. Sababii dheekkamsi Waaqayyoo isa dhaʼeef dhugumaan inni iyyuu baʼuuf ariifatee ture.
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 Uziyaan mootichi hamma gaafa duʼuutti lamxaaʼee ture. Innis waan lamxaaʼee tureef mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo irraa citee mana kophaa keessa ni jiraate. Ilmi isaa Yootaam ilmi isaa itti gaafatama masaraa mootummaa fudhatee saba biyyattii bulche.
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 Wantoonni bara mootummaa Uziyaan keessa jalqabaa hamma dhumaatti hojjetaman biraan Isaayyaas raajicha ilma Amoosiin galmeeffamaniiru.
As for the rest of the acts of Uzziah, from beginning to end, they are recorded by the prophet Isaiah son of Amoz.
23 Uziyaanis abbootii isaa wajjin boqotee sababii namoonni, “Inni lamxii qaba” jedhaniif inni lafa awwaala moototaa keessatti isaanuma biratti ni awwaalame. Ilmi isaa Yootaam iddoo isaa buʼee mootii taʼe.
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.
