2 Seenaa 26
1 Ergasii namoonni Yihuudaa hundi Uziyaan nama waggaa kudha jaʼa sana fuudhanii iddoo abbaa isaa iddoo Amasiyaa buusanii mootii ni godhan.
Then all the people of Judah appointed his son, Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, as king in place of his father, Amaziah.
2 Erga Amasiyaa abbootii isaa wajjin boqotee booddee namni Eelootin deebisee ijaaree gara Yihuudaatti deebisee Uziyaan ture.
He built up Eloth, and he restored it to the dominion of Judah. After this, the king slept 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 had begun to reign. And he reigned for fifty-two years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Jecoliah, 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, in accord with all that 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.
And he sought the Lord, during the days of Zechariah, who understood and saw God. And while he was seeking the Lord, he directed him in all things.
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.
Indeed, he went out and fought against the Philistines. And he destroyed the wall of Gath, and the wall of Jabneh, and the wall of Ashdod. Also, he built towns in Ashdod, and among the Philistines.
7 Yeroo inni Filisxiyaatti, Araboota Guur Baʼaalittii fi Meʼuunootatti kaʼetti Waaqni isa gargaare.
And God helped him against the Philistines, and against the Arabians, who were living in Gurbaal, and against the Ammonites.
8 Warri Amoonis Uziyaaniif gibira ni fidan; sababii inni baayʼee jabaateef gurri isaa hamma daangaa Gibxitti beekame.
And the Ammonites weighed out gifts to Uzziah. And his name became widely known, even to the entrance of Egypt, because of his frequent victories.
9 Uziyaanis Yerusaalem keessatti Karra Golee irratti, Karra sululaa irrattii fi golee dallaa irratti gamoowwan eegumsaa ni ijaare.
And Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem, above the gate of the corner, and above the gate of the valley, and others on the same side of 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.
Then he also constructed towers in the wilderness, and dug many cisterns, because he had much cattle, both in the plains and in the starkness of the wilderness. Also, he had vineyards and dressers of vines in the mountains and at Carmel. Certainly, he was a man devoted to agriculture.
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.
Now the army of his warriors, who would go forth to battle, was under the hand of Jeiel, the scribe, and Maaseiah, the teacher, and under the hand of Hananiah, who was among the king’s commanders.
12 Baayʼinni hooggantota maatii kanneen loltoota irratti muudamanii walumatti 2,600 ture.
And the entire number of the leaders, by the families of strong men, was two thousand six hundred.
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.
And the entire army under them was three hundred and seven thousand five hundred, who were fit for war, and who fought on behalf of the king against the adversaries.
14 Uziyaan loltoota hundaaf gaachana, eeboo, gonfoo sibiilaa, qomee sibiilaa, xiyyaa fi furrisa dhagaa kenne.
Also, Uzziah prepared for them, that is, for the entire army, shields, and spears, and helmets, and breastplates, and bows, as well as slings for the casting of stones.
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 various kinds of machines, which he placed in the towers, and at the corners of the walls, so as to shoot arrows and large stones. And his name went forth to far away places, for the Lord was helping him and had strengthened him.
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 he had become strong, his heart was lifted up, even to his own destruction. And he neglected the Lord his God. And entering into the temple of the Lord, he intended to burn incense upon the altar of incense.
17 Azaariyaa lubichis luboota Waaqayyoo warra waa hin sodaanne kan biraa saddeettama wajjin isa duukaa ni seene.
And entering immediately after him, Azariah the priest, and with him eighty priests of the Lord, very valiant men,
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.
withstood the king, and they said: “It is not your office, Uzziah, to burn incense to the Lord; rather, it is the office of the priests, that is, of the sons of Aaron, who have been consecrated for this same ministry. Depart from the sanctuary, otherwise you will be in contempt. For this act will not be reputed to you for your glory by 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.
And Uzziah, having become angry, while holding in his hand the censer so that he might burn incense, threatened the priests. And immediately a leprosy arose on his forehead, in the sight of the priests, in the house of the Lord, at the altar of incense.
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.
And when the high priest Azariah, and all the rest of the priests, had gazed upon him, they saw the leprosy on his forehead, and they hurried to expel him. Then too, he himself, becoming terrified, rushed to depart, because immediately he had become aware of the wound of the Lord.
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.
And so, king Uzziah was a leper, even until the day of his death. And he lived in a separate house, being full of leprosy, because of which he had been ejected from the house of the Lord. Then Jotham, his son, directed the house of the king, and he was judging the people of the land.
22 Wantoonni bara mootummaa Uziyaan keessa jalqabaa hamma dhumaatti hojjetaman biraan Isaayyaas raajicha ilma Amoosiin galmeeffamaniiru.
But the rest of the words of Uzziah, the first and the last, were written by the prophet Isaiah, the 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 slept with his fathers. And they buried him in the field of the royal sepulchers, because he was a leper. And Jotham, his son, reigned in his place.
