< 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 took Uzziah, who [was] sixteen years old, and made him king in the room of his father Amaziah.
2 Ndiye akazovakazve Erati akaridzorera kuJudha mushure mokunge Amazia azorora namadzibaba ake.
He built Eloth, and restored it to Judah, after 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.
Sixteen years old [was] Uzziah when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty and two years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also [was] Jecoliah of Jerusalem.
4 Akaita zvakanaka pamberi paJehovha sezvakanga zvaitwa nababa vake Amazia.
And he did [that which was] right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father Amaziah did.
5 Akatsvaka Mwari pamazuva aZekaria, uyo aimurayira mukutya Mwari. Pose paaitsvaka Jehovha, Mwari akaita kuti abudirire.
And he sought God in the days of Zechariah, who had understanding in the visions of God: and, as long as he sought the LORD, God made him to prosper.
6 Akandorwisa vaFiristia akaputsa masvingo eGati, Jabhine neAshidhodhi. Akavakazve maguta aiva pedyo neAshidhodhi nokumwewo pakati pavaFiristia.
And he went forth and warred against the Philistines, and broke down the wall of Gath, and the wall of Jabneh, and the wall of Ashdod, and built cities about 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 that dwelt in Gur-baal, and the Mehunims.
8 VaAmoni vakavigira Uzia mitero, uye mbiri yake yakandosvika kumucheto kweIjipiti nokuti akanga asimba kwazvo.
And the Ammonites gave gifts to Uzziah: and his name spread abroad [even] to the entrance of Egypt: for he strengthened [himself] exceedingly.
9 Uzia akavaka shongwe muJerusarema paSuo Repakona, paSuo Rokumupata, napakona yorusvingo, akadzisimbisa.
Moreover, Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem at the corner gate, and at the valley gate, and at the turning [of the wall], and 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.
Also he built towers in the desert, and digged many wells: for he had many cattle, both in the low country, and in the plains: husbandmen [also], and vine-dressers in the mountains, and in Carmel: for he loved husbandry.
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.
Moreover, Uzziah had an army of fighting men, that went out to war, by bands, according to the number of their account by the hand of Jeiel the scribe and Maaseiah the ruler, under the hand of Hananiah, [one] of the king's captains.
12 Uwandu hwavatungamiri vemhuri vaiva pamusoro pavarwi hwaisvika zviuru zviviri namazana matanhatu.
The whole number of the chief of the fathers of the mighty men of valor [were] two thousand and 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 under their hand [was] an army, three hundred thousand and seven thousand and five hundred, that made war with mighty power, to help the king against the enemy.
14 Uzia akavapa nhoo, mapfumo nguwani, nenguo dzamatare, uye uta namabwe okupfura nawo.
And Uzziah prepared for them throughout all the army, shields, and spears, and helmets, and habergeons, and bows, and slings [to cast] 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 he made in Jerusalem engines, invented by skillful men, to be on the towers and upon the bulwarks, to shoot arrows and great stones. And his name spread far abroad; for he was helped in a wonderful manner, till he was strong.
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 was strong, his heart was lifted up to [his] destruction: for he transgressed against the LORD his God, and went into the temple of the LORD to burn incense upon the altar of incense.
17 Azaria muprista navamwe vaprista vaJehovha makumi masere vakanga vasingatyi vakamutevera mukati.
And Azariah the priest went in after him, and with him eighty priests of the LORD, [that were] 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.”
And they withstood Uzziah the king, and said to him, [It appertaineth] not to thee, Uzziah, to burn incense to the LORD, but to the priests the sons of Aaron, that are consecrated to burn incense: go out of the sanctuary; for thou hast trespassed; neither [will it be] for thy honor from 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.
Then Uzziah was wroth, and [had] a censer in his hand to burn incense: and while he was wroth with the priests, the leprosy even rose up in his forehead before the priests in the house of the LORD, from beside the incense altar.
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 Azariah the chief priest, and all the priests looked upon him, and behold, he [was] leprous in his forehead, and they thrust him out from thence; yea, himself hasted also to go out, because the LORD had smitten him.
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 Uzziah the king was a leper to the day of his death, and dwelt in a separate house, [being] a leper; for he was cut off from the house of the LORD: and Jotham his son [was] over the king's house, judging the people of the land.
22 Zvimwe zvakaitwa mukutonga kwaUzia kubva pakutanga kusvika pakupedzisira zvakanyorwa nomuprofita Isaya mwanakomana waAmozi.
Now the rest of the acts of Uzziah, first and last, were written by Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amos.
23 Uzia akazorora namadzibaba ake akavigwa pedyo navo mumunda wemakuva waiva wamadzimambo, nokuti vanhu vakati, “Aiva namaperembudzi.” Jotamu mwanakomana wake akamutevera paumambo.
So Uzziah slept with his fathers, and they buried him with his fathers in the field of the burial which [belonged] to the kings; for they said, He [is] a leper: and Jotham his son reigned in his stead.
