2 Chronicles 26

1 Then all the people of Judah took Uzziah, who [was] sixteen years old, and made him king in the room of his father Amaziah.

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.

2 He built Eloth, and restored it to Judah, after the king slept with his fathers.

Naʻa ne langa ʻa ʻEloti, ʻo toe fakakau ia ki Siuta, ʻi he hili ange ʻae mohe ʻae tuʻi ki heʻene ngaahi tamai.

3 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.

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.

4 And he did [that which was] right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father Amaziah did.

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.

5 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.

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.

6 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.

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.

7 And God helped him against the Philistines, and against the Arabians that dwelt in Gur-baal, and the Mehunims.

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.

8 And the Ammonites gave gifts to Uzziah: and his name spread abroad [even] to the entrance of Egypt: for he strengthened [himself] exceedingly.

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.

9 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.

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.

10 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.

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.

11 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.

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.

12 The whole number of the chief of the fathers of the mighty men of valor [were] two thousand and six hundred.

Ko hono lau kotoa ʻoe kau tuʻukimuʻa ʻi he kau mātuʻa, ʻoe kau tangata toʻa mālohi naʻe toko ua afe mo e toko onongeau.

13 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.

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.

14 And Uzziah prepared for them throughout all the army, shields, and spears, and helmets, and habergeons, and bows, and slings [to cast] stones.

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.

15 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.

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.

16 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.

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.

17 And Azariah the priest went in after him, and with him eighty priests of the LORD, [that were] valiant men:

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:

18 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.

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.”

19 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.

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.

20 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.

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.

21 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.

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.

22 Now the rest of the acts of Uzziah, first and last, were written by Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amos.

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.

23 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.

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.
