2 Meʻa Hokohoko 26
1 Pea naʻe toki ʻave ʻe he kakai kotoa pē ʻo Siuta ʻa ʻUsaia, ʻaia naʻe hongofulu ma ono taʻu hono motuʻa, ʻo fakanofo ia ke tuʻi ko e fetongi ʻo ʻene tamai ko ʻAmasia.
Then all the people of the land took Ozias, and he was sixteen years old, and they made him king in the room of his father Amasias.
2 Naʻa ne langa ʻa ʻEloti, ʻo toe fakakau ia ki Siuta, ʻi he hili ange ʻae mohe ʻae tuʻi ki heʻene ngaahi tamai.
He built Aelath, he recovered it to Juda, after the king slept with his fathers.
3 Naʻe hongofulu ma ono ʻae taʻu ʻoe motuʻa ʻo ʻUsaia ʻi he kamata ʻene pule, pea naʻe pule ia ʻi he taʻu ʻe nimangofulu mo e taʻu ʻe ua ʻi Selūsalema. Pea ko e hingoa ʻo ʻene faʻē foki ko Sekolia ʻo Selūsalema.
Ozias began to reign at the age of sixteen years, and he reigned fifty-two years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Jechelia of Jerusalem.
4 Pea naʻe fai ʻe ia ʻaia naʻe lelei ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ʻo fakatatau ki he meʻa kotoa pē naʻe fai ʻe heʻene tamai ko ʻAmasia.
And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that Amasias his father did.
5 Naʻe kumi ʻe ia ki he ʻOtua ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo Sakalia, ʻaia naʻe poto ʻi he ʻilo ʻae ngaahi meʻa hā mai ʻae ʻOtua: pea lolotonga ʻene kumi kia Sihova, naʻe fakamonūʻia ia ʻe he ʻOtua.
And he sought the Lord in the days of Zacharias, who understood the fear of the Lord; and in his days he sought the Lord, and the Lord prospered him.
6 Pea naʻe ʻalu atu ia ʻo tauʻi ʻae kakai Filisitia, ʻo ne holoki hifo ʻae ʻā maka ʻo Kati, mo e ʻā maka ʻo Sapina, mo e ʻā maka ʻo ʻAsitoti, pea ne langa ʻae ngaahi kolo ʻi he fonua ʻAsitoti, pea ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe kakai Filisitia.
And he went out and fought against the Philistines, and pulled down the walls of Geth, and the walls of Jabner, and the walls of Azotus, and he built cities [near] Azotus, and among the Philistines.
7 Pea naʻe tokoni ia ʻe he ʻOtua ke tauʻi ʻae kakai Filisitia, pea ke tauʻi ʻae kakai ʻAlepea ʻaia naʻe nofo ʻi Kuapeali, mo e kakai Mehunimi.
And the Lord strengthened him against the Philistines, and against the Arabians that dwelt on the rock, and against the Minaeans.
8 Pea naʻe foaki ʻae ngaahi meʻaʻofa ʻe he kakai ʻAmoni kia ʻUsaia: pea naʻe ongoongoa atu hono hingoa ʻo aʻu ki he hūʻanga ki ʻIsipite: he naʻa ne fakamālohi ia ke lahi ʻaupito.
And the Minaeans gave gifts to Ozias; and his fame spread as far as the entering in of Egypt, for he strengthened [himself] exceedingly.
9 Pea naʻe langa foki ʻe ʻUsaia ʻae ngaahi fale māʻolunga ʻi Selūsalema ʻi he matapā ʻi he tuliki, pea ʻi he matapā ʻoe potu talalo, pea ʻi he afenga, ʻo ne langa foʻou ia.
And Ozias built towers in Jerusalem, both at the gate of the corners, and at the valley gate, and at the corners and he fortified them.
10 Pea naʻa ne langa ʻae ngaahi fale māʻolunga ʻi he toafa, pea keli ʻae ngaahi vai lahi: he naʻe lahi ʻaupito ʻene fanga manu, ʻi he fonua ʻi lalo, pea mo e ngaahi tafangafanga: mo e kau tauhi ngoue, mo e kau tauhi vaine ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga, pea ʻi Kameli: he naʻe manako ia ki he tauhi ngoue.
And he built towers in the wilderness, and dug many wells, for he had many cattle in the low country and in the plain; and vinedressers in the mountain country and in Carmel: for he was a husbandman.
11 Pea naʻe maʻu ʻe ʻUsaia foki ʻae kau tangata fai tau, ʻaia naʻe ʻalu vahevahe pe ki he tau, ʻo fakatatau ki honau lau ʻi he pule ʻa Sieli ko e tangata tohi mo Māseia ko e pule, ʻi he nima ʻo Hanania, ko e tokotaha ʻoe ngaahi ʻeiki pule ʻae tuʻi.
And Ozias had a host of warriors, and that went out orderly to war, and returned orderly in number; and their number was [made] by the hand of Jeiel the scribe, and Maasias the judge, by the hand of Ananias the king's deputy.
12 Ko hono lau kotoa ʻoe kau tuʻukimuʻa ʻi he kau mātuʻa, ʻoe kau tangata toʻa mālohi naʻe toko ua afe mo e toko onongeau.
The whole number of the chiefs of families of the mighty men of war [was] two thousand six hundred;
13 Pea naʻe ʻi honau nima ʻae fuʻu tau, ko e toko tolu kilu mo e toko fitu afe mo e toko nimangeau, naʻe fai ʻae tau ʻi he mālohi lahi, ke tokoni ki he tuʻi ke tauʻi ʻae fili.
and with them was a warrior force, three hundred thousand and seven thousand and five hundred: these waged war mightily to help the king against [his] enemies.
14 Pea naʻe tokonaki ʻe ʻUsaia moʻonautolu ʻi he tau kotoa pē ʻae ngaahi pā, mo e tao, mo e tatā, mo e ngaahi kofutau, mo e ngaahi kau fana, mo e ngaahi makatā.
And Ozias prepared for them, [even] for all the host, shields, and spears, and helmets, and breastplates, and bows, and slings for stones.
15 Pea naʻe ngaohi ʻe ia ʻi Selūsalema ʻae ngaahi meʻa tau, naʻe fakakaukau hono ngaohi ʻe he kau tangata poto, ke fokotuʻu ʻi he ngaahi fale māʻolunga pea ki he ngaahi puke, ke fanaʻaki ʻae ngahau mo e ngaahi maka lahi. Pea naʻe ongoongo ki he mamaʻo hono hingoa: he naʻe lahi ʻaupito ʻae tokoni kiate ia, ke ne mālohi ai.
And he made in Jerusalem machines invented by a wise contriver, to be upon the towers and upon the corners, to cast darts and great stones: and [the fame] of their preparation was heard at a distance; for he was wonderfully helped, till he was strong.
16 Ka ʻi heʻene mālohi naʻe mahikihiki hake hono loto ke kovi lahi ai ia: he naʻa ne fai talangataʻa kia Sihova ko hono ʻOtua, pea naʻe hū ia ki he faletapu ʻo Sihova ke tutu ʻae meʻa namu kakala he feilaulauʻanga ʻoe meʻa namu kakala.
And when he was strong, his heart was lifted up to his destruction; and he transgressed against the Lord his God, and went into the temple of the Lord to turn incense on the altar of incense.
17 Pea naʻe hū ki ai ʻa ʻAsalia ko e taulaʻeiki ʻo muimui ʻiate ia, pea naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae kau taulaʻeiki ʻa Sihova ʻe toko valungofulu, ko e kau tangata toʻa:
And there went in after him Azarias the priest, and with him eighty priests of the Lord, mighty men.
18 Pea naʻa nau tali tuʻu ki he tuʻi ko ʻUsaia, ʻonau pehē kiate ia, “ʻE ʻUsaia ʻoku ʻikai ʻiate koe ke tutu ʻae meʻa namu kakala kia Sihova, ka ki he kau taulaʻeiki ko e ngaahi foha ʻo ʻElone, ʻaia kuo fakatapui ke tutu ʻae meʻa namu kakala: ʻalu kituʻa koe mei he faletapu, he kuo ke fai hala: pea ʻe ʻikai foki te ke ongoongolelei ai meia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua.”
And they withstood Ozias the king, and said to him, [It is] not for thee, Ozias, to burn incense to the Lord, but only for the priests the sons of Aaron, who are consecrated to sacrifice: go forth of the sanctuary, for thou hast departed from the Lord; and this shall not be for glory to thee from the Lord god.
19 Pea naʻe houhau ai ʻa ʻUsaia, pea naʻe ʻi hono nima ʻae ʻaiʻanga afi, ke tutu ai ʻae meʻa namu kakala: pea lolotonga ʻene houhau ki he kau taulaʻeiki, naʻe tupu hake ʻae kilia ʻi hono foʻi laʻē ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kau taulaʻeiki ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova, mei he potu ʻoe feilaulauʻanga ʻoe meʻa namu kakala.
And Ozias was angry, and in his hand [was] the censer to burn incense in the temple: and when he was angry with the priests, then the leprosy rose up in his forehead before the priests in the house of the Lord, over the altar of incense.
20 Pea naʻe mamata kiate ia ʻe ʻAsalia ko e taulaʻeiki lahi, pea mo e kau taulaʻeiki kotoa pē, pea vakai, kuo kilia ia ʻi hono laʻē, pea naʻa nau tekeʻi ia mei ai kituʻa: ʻio, pea naʻe fakatoʻotoʻo ia ke ʻalu kituʻa, he kuo taaʻi ia ʻe Sihova.
And Azarias the chief priest, and the [other] priests, turned [to look] at him, and, behold, he [was] leprous in his forehead; and they got him hastily out thence, for he also hasted to go out, because the Lord had rebuked him.
21 Pea naʻe kilia ʻae tuʻi ko ʻUsaia ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ʻo ʻene pekia, pea naʻe nofo ia ʻi he fale liʻaki, he ko e kilia ia; he naʻe motuhi ia mei he fale ʻo Sihova pea naʻe pule ʻa Sotami ko hono foha ki he fale ʻoe tuʻi, ʻo fakamaauʻi ʻae kakai ʻoe fonua.
And Ozias the king was a leper to the day of his death, and he dwelt [as] a leper in a separate house; for he was cut off from the house of the Lord: and Joathan his son [was set] over his kingdom, judging the people of the land.
22 Pea ko hono toe ʻoe ngāue ʻa ʻUsaia, ko e ʻuluaki mo e kimui, naʻe tohi ia ʻe ʻIsaia ko e palōfita, ko e foha ʻo ʻAmosi.
And the rest of the acts of Ozias, the first and the last, [are] written by Jessias the prophet.
23 Pea pehē naʻe mohe ʻa ʻUsaia mo ʻene ngaahi tamai ʻi he ngoue ʻoe tanuʻanga naʻe kau ki he ngaahi tuʻi: he naʻa nau pehē, Ko e kilia ia: pea naʻe fetongi ia ʻi he pule ʻe Sotami ko hono ʻalo.
And Ozias slept with his fathers, and they buried him with his fathers in the field of the burial [place] of the kings, for they said, He is a leper; and Joatham his son reigned in his stead.
