2 Makoronike 26
1 Ipapo vanhu vose veJudha vakatora Uzia akanga ane makore gumi namatanhatu, vakamuita mambo panzvimbo yababa vake Amazia.
Then all the people of Judah appointed his son, Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, as king in place of his father, Amaziah.
2 Ndiye akazovakazve Erati akaridzorera kuJudha mushure mokunge Amazia azorora namadzibaba ake.
He built up Eloth, and he restored it to the dominion of Judah. After this, the king slept with his fathers.
3 Uzia aiva namakore gumi namatanhatu paakava mambo uye akatonga muJerusarema kwamakore makumi mashanu namaviri. Mai vake vainzi Jekoria uye vaibva kuJerusarema.
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 Akaita zvakanaka pamberi paJehovha sezvakanga zvaitwa nababa vake Amazia.
And he did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, in accord with all that his father, Amaziah, had done.
5 Akatsvaka Mwari pamazuva aZekaria, uyo aimurayira mukutya Mwari. Pose paaitsvaka Jehovha, Mwari akaita kuti abudirire.
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 Akandorwisa vaFiristia akaputsa masvingo eGati, Jabhine neAshidhodhi. Akavakazve maguta aiva pedyo neAshidhodhi nokumwewo pakati pavaFiristia.
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 Mwari akamubatsira mukurwisa vaFiristia navaArabhu vaigara muGuri Bhaari uye paakarwa navaMeuni.
And God helped him against the Philistines, and against the Arabians, who were living in Gurbaal, and against the Ammonites.
8 VaAmoni vakavigira Uzia mitero, uye mbiri yake yakandosvika kumucheto kweIjipiti nokuti akanga asimba kwazvo.
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 Uzia akavaka shongwe muJerusarema paSuo Repakona, paSuo Rokumupata, napakona yorusvingo, akadzisimbisa.
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 Akavakazve shongwe murenje uye akachera matsime mazhinji, nokuti akanga ane zvipfuwo zvakawanda mujinga mezvikomo nomumapani. Aiva navanhu vaishanda muminda yake nomuminda yemizambiringa mumakomo nomunyika yakaorera, nokuti aida ivhu kwazvo.
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 Uzia aiva navarwi vakadzidzira kwazvo kurwa, vakanga vakagadzirira kubuda vari mumapoka avo maererano nouwandu hwavo sokuunganidzwa kwavakanga vaitwa naJeyeri munyori naMaaseya jinda rakanga riri pasi paHanania mumwe wavakuru pamuzinda wamambo.
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 Uwandu hwavatungamiri vemhuri vaiva pamusoro pavarwi hwaisvika zviuru zviviri namazana matanhatu.
And the entire number of the leaders, by the families of strong men, was two thousand six hundred.
13 Pasi pavo paiva nehondo yaiva navarume zviuru mazana matatu nezvinomwe namazana mashanu, vakadzidziswa kurwa, hondo yakanga yakasimba kwazvo kuti itsigire mambo pakurwisana navavengi vake.
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 Uzia akavapa nhoo, mapfumo nguwani, nenguo dzamatare, uye uta namabwe okupfura nawo.
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 MuJerusarema akagadzira michina yakagadzirwa navarume vane umhizha kuti ishandiswe pamusoro peshongwe napamakona pakukanda miseve nokukanda matombo makuru. Mbiri yake yakapararira kunzvimbo dziri kure, nokuti akabatsirwa zvikuru kusvikira ava nesimba.
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 Asi Uzia paakava nesimba, kuzvikudza kwake kwakamutungamirira mukuwa kwake. Haana kutendeka kuna Jehovha Mwari wake, uye akapinda mutemberi yaJehovha kundopisira zvinonhuhwira paaritari yezvinonhuhwira.
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 Azaria muprista navamwe vaprista vaJehovha makumi masere vakanga vasingatyi vakamutevera mukati.
And entering immediately after him, Azariah the priest, and with him eighty priests of the Lord, very valiant men,
18 Vakamutongesa vakati, “Hazvina kufanira kwamuri imi, Uzia, kuti mupisire zvinonhuhwira kuna Jehovha. Izvozvo ndezvavaprista, vanakomana vaAroni, vakatsaurirwa kuti vapise zvinonhuhwira. Budai munzvimbo tsvene, nokuti hamuna kutendeka, uye hamungazokudzwa naJehovha Mwari.”
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 Uzia uyo akanga aine mbiya yokupisira zvinonhuhwira muruoko rwake, akatsamwa kwazvo. Paakanga achakatsamwira vaprista pamberi pavo, pamberi pearitari yezvinonhuhwira mutemberi yaJehovha, maperembudzi akamera pahuma yake.
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 Azaria mukuru wavaprista, navaprista vose pavakatarisa kwaari, vakaona kuti akanga ava namaperembudzi pahuma yake, saka vakakurumidza kumuburitsamo. Zvirokwazvo iyewo pachake akanga ava kuda kubuda nokuti Jehovha akanga amurova nechirwere.
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 Mambo Uzia akava namaperembudzi kusvikira musi waakafa. Aigara muimba yake oga asingabvumirwi kupinda mutemberi yaJehovha. Jotamu mwanakomana wake ndiye aitonga mumuzinda uye nokutonga vanhu venyika.
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 Zvimwe zvakaitwa mukutonga kwaUzia kubva pakutanga kusvika pakupedzisira zvakanyorwa nomuprofita Isaya mwanakomana waAmozi.
But the rest of the words of Uzziah, the first and the last, were written by the prophet Isaiah, the son of Amoz.
23 Uzia akazorora namadzibaba ake akavigwa pedyo navo mumunda wemakuva waiva wamadzimambo, nokuti vanhu vakati, “Aiva namaperembudzi.” Jotamu mwanakomana wake akamutevera paumambo.
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.
