Taariikhdii Labaad 26
1 Markaasaa dadkii Yahuudah oo dhammu waxay soo kaxaysteen Cusiyaah oo lix iyo toban sannadood jiray, oo isagay boqor uga dhigeen meeshii aabbihiis Amasyaah.
After King Amaziah died, all the people of Judah appointed his son Uzziah, who then was 16 years old, as their king. [One of the things that happened] while he was the king [was that] his men captured Elath [town on the Gulf of Aqaba] and rebuilt it.
2 Oo isna Eelood wuu dhisay oo dalka Yahuudah u soo celiyey markii boqorkii dhintay oo la seexday awowayaashiis dabadeed.
3 Cusiyaah markuu boqor noqday wuxuu jiray lix iyo toban sannadood, oo laba iyo konton sannadoodna Yeruusaalem buu boqor ku ahaa, oo hooyadiis magaceedana waxaa la odhan jiray Yekaalyaah tii reer Yeruusaalem.
Uzziah ruled in Jerusalem for 52 years. His mother was Jecoliah; she was from Jerusalem.
4 Oo isna wuxuu sameeyey wax Rabbiga hortiisa ku qumman, oo wuxuu wada yeelay sidii aabbihiis Amasyaah yeelay oo kale.
Uzziah did things that Yahweh considered to be good, like his father Amaziah had done.
5 Oo wakhtigii Sekaryaah, oo waxgarasho u lahaa waxa la arko ee Ilaah, ayuu isu diyaariyey inuu Ilaah doondoonto, oo intuu Rabbiga doonayayna Ilaah baa isaga liibaaniyey.
He tried to please God while [the priest] Zechariah was living, because Zechariah taught him to revere God. As long as Uzziah tried to please God, God enabled him to be successful.
6 Markaasuu baxay oo reer Falastiin la dagaallamay, oo wuxuu dumiyey derbigii Gad, iyo derbigii Yabneh, iyo derbigii Ashdood, oo wuxuu magaalooyin ka dhisay waddankii reer Ashdood iyo reer Falastiin dhexdoodaba.
Uzziah and his army started to fight against the army of Philistia. They tore down the walls of Gath, Jabneh, and Ashdod [cities]. Then they rebuilt the towns near Ashdod and in other places in Philistia.
7 Oo Ilaah baa isaga uga hiiliyey reer Falastiin, iyo kuwii reer Carbeed ee Guur Bacal degganaa, iyo reer Mecuuniimba.
God helped them to fight the army of Philistia and the Arabs who lived in [the town of] Gur-Baal and the descendants of Meun who had come to that area from Edom.
8 Oo reer Cammoonna waxay Cusiyaah siin jireen gabbaro, oo magiciisiina wuxuu ku faafay oo gaadhay xataa meesha Masar laga galo, maxaa yeelay, aad iyo aad buu u xoogaystay.
Even the Ammon [people-group] paid taxes to Uzziah each year. So Uzziah became famous as far as the border of Egypt, because he had become very powerful.
9 Oo weliba Cusiyaah wuxuu Yeruusaalem ka dhisay oo xoogeeyey munaarado, oo waxay ku yiilleen iriddii geeska, iyo iriddii dooxada, iyo meesha derbigu ka leexdo.
Uzziah’s [workers] built watchtowers in Jerusalem at the Corner Gate, at the Valley Gate, and at the place where the wall turns, and they placed weapons in them.
10 Oo haddana wuxuu munaarado ka dhisay cidlada, oo ceelal badanna wuu qotay, maxaa yeelay, xoolo badan buu lahaa, oo waxayna u joogeen dhulka dooxada iyo dhulka bannaanka ahba, oo buuraha iyo beeraha barwaaqaysanba wuxuu ku lahaa rag beeraley ah iyo kuwa canabka xannaaneeya, maxaa yeelay, wuxuu jeclaa beeraha.
They also built watchtowers in the desert and dug many wells. They did that [to provide water] for a lot of the king’s cattle that were in the foothills and in the plains. Uzziah liked farming, so he also stationed workers [to take care of] his fields and vineyards in the hills and in the fertile areas.
11 Oo weliba Cusiyaah wuxuu lahaa ciidan dagaalyahan ah oo dagaalka koox koox ugu baxa sidii ay ahayd tiradooda ay sameeyeen Yecii'eel oo ahaa karraanigii iyo Macaseeyaah oo sirkaalkii ahaa, sidii uu ku amray Xananyaah oo ahaa boqorka saraakiishiisa midkood.
Uzziah’s army was trained for fighting battles. They were in groups that were always ready to go into battle. Jeiel, the king’s secretary, and Maaseiah, one of the army officers, counted the men and placed them in groups. Hananiah, one of the king’s officials, was their commander.
12 Oo raggii xoogga badnaa, oo ahaa madaxdii qolooyinka oo dhan tiradoodu waxay ahayd laba kun iyo lix boqol oo nin.
There were 2,600 leaders of those groups of soldiers.
13 Oo waxaa gacantooda ku jiray ciidan ah saddex boqol iyo toddoba kun iyo shan boqol oo nin, kuwaasoo xoog badan ku dagaallama, si ay boqorka uga caawiyaan cadowga.
In the groups that those leaders commanded there were a total of 307,500 well-trained soldiers. It was a very powerful army which was ready to help the king fight against his enemies.
14 Oo Cusiyaah wuxuu ciidankii oo dhan u diyaariyey gaashaammo iyo warmo, iyo koofiyado bir ah, iyo jubbado bir ah, iyo qaansooyin, iyo dhagaxyada la wadhfiyo.
Uzziah gave to each soldier a shield, a spear, a helmet, a vest made of iron plates, a bow [and arrows], and a slingshot.
15 Oo Yeruusaalemna wuxuu ku sameeyey makiinado ay soo hindiseen rag saanacyo ahu, oo alaabtaas waxaa la saari jiray munaaradaha iyo geesaska derbiyada, in iyaga laga gano fallaadho iyo dhagxan waaweynba. Oo weliba magiciisii aad iyo aad buu u sii faafay oo meel fog gaadhay, maxaa yeelay, ilaa uu xoogaystay si yaab leh ayaa loo caawiyey.
In Jerusalem his skilled workers made machines to put on the watchtowers and on the corners [of the walls], to shoot arrows and to hurl large stones. He became very famous even in distant places, because God helped him very much and enabled him to become very powerful.
16 Laakiinse markuu xoogaystay ayuu isla weynaaday ilaa uu halligmay, oo wuxuu ku xadgudbay Rabbiga Ilaahiisa ah, waayo, macbudkii Rabbiga ayuu u galay inuu foox ku shido girgirihii fooxa.
But because Uzziah was very powerful, he became very proud, and that led to his being punished. He disobeyed what Yahweh his God had commanded. He went into the temple to burn incense on the altar [where God had said that only the priests should burn] incense.
17 Markaasaa waxaa isagii ka daba galay wadaadkii Casaryaah oo ay la socdaan siddeetan ah Rabbiga wadaaddadiisa, oo ah rag xoog badan.
Azariah the [Supreme] Priest and 80 other brave priests followed him into the temple.
18 Markaasay Boqor Cusiyaah hor istaageen, oo waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Cusiyaahow, adigu ma lihid inaad Rabbiga foox u shiddid, laakiinse waxaa leh wadaaddada reer Haaruun oo quduus looga dhigay inay foox shidaan; haddaba meesha quduuska ah ka bax, waayo, waad xadgudubtay, oo tanuna kuuma ahaan doonto sharaf Rabbiga Ilaaha ah xaggiisa kaaga timaada.
They rebuked him and said to him, “Uzziah, it is not right for you to burn incense to [honor] Yahweh. That duty is only for the priests, those who are descendants of Aaron [our first Supreme Priest]! You must leave [immediately], because you have disobeyed Yahweh our God, and he will not honor you [for what you have done]!”
19 Markaasaa Cusiyaah cadhooday, oo gacantana waxaa ugu jiray idan uu doonayay inuu foox ku shido; oo markuu wadaaddadii u cadhooday ayaa baras wejiga ka soo baxay, isagoo wadaaddadii hor jooga oo guriga Rabbiga ku jira oo girgirihii fooxa dhiniciisa taagan.
Uzziah had in his hand a pan for burning incense. He became very angry with the priests, but suddenly there was leprosy on his forehead.
20 Markaasaa Casaryaah oo ahaa wadaadka sare iyo wadaaddadii oo dhammu isagay fiiriyeen, oo waxay arkeen inuu wejigiisa baras ku leeyahay, markaasay haddiiba halkaas ka saareen, oo isaga qudhiisiina wuu isdedejiyey inuu baxo, maxaa yeelay, Rabbigaa wax ku dhuftay.
When Azariah the [Supreme] Priest and all the other priests [who were there] looked at him, they saw the leprosy on his forehead, so they quickly took him outside. And truly the king was eager to leave the temple, because he knew that it was Yahweh who had caused him to have that leprosy, [and he did not want it to become worse.]
21 Oo Boqor Cusiyaahna tan iyo maalintii uu dhintay wuxuu ahaa barasle, oo isagoo baras qaba ayuu joogi jiray guri gaar ah, waayo, wuu ka go'ay gurigii Rabbiga, oo wiilkiisii Yootam ayaa reerka boqorka u talin jiray, isagoo dadkii dalka degganaa u gar qaybinaya.
King Uzziah had leprosy until he died. And because he had leprosy, he lived in a house that was not near other houses, and he was not allowed to enter [the courtyard of] the temple. His son Jotham supervised the palace and ruled the people of Judah.
22 Haddaba Cusiyaah falimihiisii kale, intii hore iyo intii dambeba, waxaa qoray Nebi Ishacyaah oo ahaa ina Aamoos.
A record of all the other things that Uzziah did while he was the king [of Judah] was written by the prophet Isaiah, the son of Amoz.
23 Oo Cusiyaah wuu dhintay oo la seexday awowayaashiis, oo waxaa awowayaashiis lagula aasay berrinkii xabaalaha oo ay boqorradu lahaayeen, waayo, waxay isyidhaahdeen, Isagu waa barasle, oo meeshiisiina waxaa boqor ka noqday wiilkiis Yootam.
Because Uzziah was a leper, [when he died, ] they would not bury him in the tombs where the other kings were buried. Instead, he was buried in a nearby cemetery that the kings owned. Then his son Jotham became the king [of Judah].
