2 Crônicas 26

1 All the people of Judah took Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in the place of his father Amaziah. 2 He built Eloth and restored it to Judah. After that the king slept with his fathers. 3 Uzziah was sixteen years old when he began to reign; and he reigned fifty-two years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jechiliah, of Jerusalem. 4 He did that which was right in Yahweh’s eyes, according to all that his father Amaziah had done. 5 He set himself to seek God in the days of Zechariah, who had understanding in the vision of God; and as long as he sought Yahweh, God made him prosper.

6 He went out and fought against the Philistines, and broke down the wall of Gath, the wall of Jabneh, and the wall of Ashdod; and he built cities in the country of Ashdod, and among the Philistines. 7 God helped him against the Philistines, and against the Arabians who lived in Gur Baal, and the Meunim. 8 The Ammonites gave tribute to Uzziah. His name spread abroad even to the entrance of Egypt, for he grew exceedingly strong. 9 Moreover Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem at the corner gate, at the valley gate, and at the turning of the wall, and fortified them. 10 He built towers in the wilderness, and dug out many cisterns, for he had much livestock, both in the lowlands and in the plains. He had farmers and vineyard keepers in the mountains and in the fruitful fields, for he loved farming. 11 Moreover Uzziah had an army of fighting men who went out to war by bands, according to the number of their reckoning made by Jeiel the scribe and Maaseiah the officer, under the hand of Hananiah, one of the king’s captains. 12 The whole number of the heads of fathers’ households, even the mighty men of valor, was two thousand six hundred. 13 Under their hand was an army, three hundred seven thousand five hundred, who made war with mighty power, to help the king against the enemy. 14 Uzziah prepared for them, even for all the army, shields, spears, helmets, coats of mail, bows, and stones for slinging. 15 In Jerusalem, he made devices, invented by skillful men, to be on the towers and on the battlements, with which to shoot arrows and great stones. His name spread far abroad, because he was marvelously helped until he was strong.

16 But when he was strong, his heart was lifted up, so that he did corruptly and he trespassed against Yahweh his God, for he went into Yahweh’s temple to burn incense on the altar of incense. 17 Azariah the priest went in after him, and with him eighty priests of Yahweh, who were valiant men. 18 They resisted Uzziah the king, and said to him, "It isn’t for you, Uzziah, to burn incense to Yahweh, but for the priests the sons of Aaron, who are consecrated to burn incense. Go out of the sanctuary, for you have trespassed. It will not be for your honor from Yahweh God."

19 Then Uzziah was angry. He had a censer in his hand to burn incense, and while he was angry with the priests, the leprosy broke out on his forehead before the priests in Yahweh’s house, beside the altar of incense. 20 Azariah the chief priest and all the priests looked at him, and behold, he was leprous in his forehead; and they thrust him out quickly from there. Indeed, he himself also hurried to go out, because Yahweh had struck him. 21 Uzziah the king was a leper to the day of his death, and lived in a separate house, being a leper; for he was cut off from Yahweh’s house. Jotham his son was over the king’s house, judging the people of the land.

22 Now the rest of the acts of Uzziah, first and last, Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, wrote. 23 So Uzziah slept with his fathers; and they buried him with his fathers in the field of burial which belonged to the kings, for they said, "He is a leper." Jotham his son reigned in his place.

Ko Kīngi Utia o Hūrā

1 Kātahi te iwi katoa o Hūrā ka mau ki a Utia, kotahi tekau mā ono nei ōna tau, ā, meinga ana hei kīngi i muri i tōna pāpā, i a Amatia. 2 Nā, tēnei i hanga Eroto, ā, whakahokia ana ki a Hūrā, i muri i te moenga o te kīngi ki ōna mātua.

3 Kotahi tekau mā ono ngā tau o Utia i tōna kīngitanga, ā, e rima tekau mā rua ōna tau i kīngi ai ia ki Hiruhārama; ā, ko te ingoa o tōna whaea, ko Iekoria, nō Hiruhārama. 4 I tika tāna mahi ki te titiro a Ihowā, i rite ki ngā mea katoa i mea ai tōna pāpā, a Amatia. 5 I rapua e ia tā te Atua i ngā rā o Hakaraia, he tangata mōhio tērā i ngā whakakitenga mai a te Atua. Nā, i ngā rā i rapua ai e ia tā Ihowā, ka meinga ia e te Atua kia kake.

6 I haere anō ia ki te whawhai ki ngā Pirihitini, ā, wāwāhia ana e ia te taiepa o Kāta, me te taiepa o Iapane, me te taiepa o Aharoro; ā, hangā ana e ia ētahi pā ki te whenua o Aharoro, ki roto hoki i ngā Pirihitini. 7 Ā, i āwhinatia ia e te Atua i te whawhai ki ngā Pirihitini, ki ngā Ārapi i noho ki Kurupaara, rātou ko ngā Meunimi. 8 Ā, hōmai ana e ngā Āmoni he hākari ki a Utia; pakū ana hoki tōna ingoa ā tae noa ki te tomokanga ki Īhipa; nā, ka nui atu tōna kaha.

9 I hangā anō e Utia ētahi pourewa ki Hiruhārama, ki te Kūwaha i te Kokonga, ki te Kūwaha i te Raorao, ki te koki o te taiepa, hangā ana e ia kia kaha. 10 I hangā anō e ia ētahi pourewa ki te koraha, ā, keria ana ētahi poka wai, he maha, he tini hoki āna kararehe; i te raorao anō, ā, i te mānia. Ā, he kaimahi whenua āna, he kaimahi wāina i ngā maunga, i ngā māra whai hua hoki; he tangata ahu whenua hoki ia.

11 He ope anō tā Utia, he hunga whawhai; i haere ā-rōpū ki te whawhai; ko te tokomaha, kei tō rātou tauanga e Teiere kaituhituhi rāua ko te kaiwhakahaere, ko Maaheia. Ko te kaiārahi, ko Hanania, ko tētahi o ngā rangatira a te kīngi. 12 Ko te tokomaha katoa o ngā upoko o ngā whare o ngā mātua o ngā toa mārohirohi, e rua mano e ono rau. 13 Nā, ko te ope hei ārahi mā rātou, he mea i rākaia, e toru rau e whitu mano e rima rau, he hunga i kaha rawa tā rātou whawhai, hei tuarā mō te kīngi ki te hoariri. 14 Kua pae noa ake i a Utia he whakangungu rākau mō rātou puta noa i te ope, te tao, he pōtae, he pukupuku, he kōpere, he kōtaha piu kōhatu. 15 I hangā anō e ia ētahi mea ki Hiruhārama, he mea whakaaro nā ngā tāngata mōhio, hei uta ki runga i ngā pourewa, i ngā pou koki, hei kōpere i ngā pere, i ngā kōhatu nunui hoki. Ā, pakū ana tōna ingoa ki tawhiti; he hanga whakamīharo hoki tōna āwhinatanga ā kaha noa ake ia.

Ka Whakawhiua a Utia mō tōna Whakahīhī

16 Otiia i a ia ka kaha nei, ka whakakake tōna ngākau, ka mahi i te kino, ā, takahia ana e ia tā Ihowā, tā tōna Atua; i tomo hoki ia ki te temepara o Ihowā, ki te tahu whakakakara ki runga ki te āta whakakakara. 17 Nā, ka haere atu i muri i a ia a Atāria tohunga, rātou ko ētahi tohunga o Ihowā, e waru tekau, he hunga māia. 18 Nā, ka tūria atu e rātou a Utia, te kīngi, ā, ka mea rātou ki a ia, "E kore e tika māu, e Utia, te tahu whakakakara ki a Ihowā; engari mā ngā tohunga, mā ngā tama a Ārona, i whakatapua nei hei tahu whakakakara. Haere atu i te wāhi tapu; kua hē hoki koe; ehara hoki i te mea e whai korōria ai koe i te Atua, i a Ihowā."

19 Kātahi ka riri a Utia; i tōna ringa anō he tahu kakara hei tahu whakakakara; ā, i a ia e riri ana ki ngā tohunga, ka puta ake te repera i tōna rae i te aroaro o ngā tohunga i roto i te whare o Ihowā, i te taha o te āta tahu whakakakara. 20 Ā, ko te tahuritanga o te tino tohunga, o Atāria, rātou ko ngā tohunga katoa ki a ia, nanā, he repera tērā kei tōna rae, peia ana ia e rātou i reira. Ko ia anō i hohoro te haere, nō te mea kua pākia ia e Ihowā.

21 Nā, he repera a Utia te kīngi ā taea noatia te rā i mate ai, ā, noho ana i te whare motuhake, he repera hoki, he mea momotu atu hoki i te whare o Ihowā; ā, ko tāna tama ko Iotama, te rangatira mō te whare o te kīngi, hei kaiwhakarite mō te iwi o te whenua.

22 Nā, ko ērā atu meatanga a Utia, ō mua, ō muri, kua oti te tuhituhi e Ihāia poropiti tama a Āmoho. 23 Heoi, kua moe a Utia ki ōna mātua, ā, tanumia iho ki ōna mātua ki te māra i tō ngā kīngi tanumanga; i mea hoki rātou, "He repera ia." Ā, ko tāna tama, ko Iotama, te kīngi i muri i a ia.
