2 Chronicles 26
1 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.
Tout pèp peyi Jida a pran Ozyas, pitit gason Amasya a, yo fè l' wa nan plas papa l'. Ozyas te gen sèzan lè sa a.
Se li menm ki reprann lavil Elat, li fè l' tounen anba otorite wa peyi Jida a apre lanmò papa l'.
3 Uzziah ruled in Jerusalem for 52 years. His mother was Jecoliah; she was from Jerusalem.
Ozyas te gen sèzan lè li moute wa peyi Jida. Li gouvènen nan lavil Jerizalèm pandan senkanndezan. Manman l' te rele Jekolya. Se te moun lavil Jerizalèm.
4 Uzziah did things that Yahweh considered to be good, like his father Amaziah had done.
Ozyas te fè sa ki dwat devan Seyè a menm jan ak Amasya, papa l', te fè l'.
5 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.
Pandan toutan Zakari te la pou moutre l' jan pou l' gen krentif Bondye a li t'ap sèvi Seyè a san mank. Pandan tout tan li t'ap sèvi Seyè a, Bondye te fè zafè l' mache byen.
6 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.
Ozyas leve al goumen ak moun Filisti yo. Li kraze miray ranpa lavil Gat, lavil Jabne ak lavil Asdòd. Li bati lòt lavil ak miray ranpa nan zòn Asdòd ak nan mitan peyi Filisti a.
7 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.
Bondye ede l' goumen kont moun Filisti yo, kont moun Arabi ki t'ap viv lavil Goubaal yo, ak kont moun Mawon yo.
8 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.
Moun Amon yo te peye lajan taks bay Ozyas. Yo t'ap nonmen non l' jouk sou fwontyè peyi Lejip, paske li te vin gen anpil pouvwa.
9 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.
Ozyas ranfòse defans lavil Jerizalèm. Li bati gwo fò tou won bò Pòtay Kwen an, bò Pòtay Fon an ak nan yon kwen miray la.
10 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.
Li bati gwo fò tou won nan dezè a, li fouye gwo basen pou kenbe dlo paske li te gen anpil mouton ni nan plenn lan ni sou platon yo. Li te gen moun ap travay pou li nan jaden li yo, ak moun pou okipe jaden rezen l' yo nan mòn, paske li te renmen travay latè.
11 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.
Ozyas te gen yon gwo lame toujou pare pou fè lagè. Lame a te separe an gwoup, dapre jan yo te enskri nan rejis Jeiyèl, sekretè wa a, ak Masyas, grefye a, te kenbe sou kontwòl Ananya, yonn nan gwo chèf wa a.
12 There were 2,600 leaders of those groups of soldiers.
Te gen demil sisan (2.600) chèf fanmi alatèt vanyan sòlda sa yo.
13 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.
Sou zòd yo te gen yon lame ak twasansètmil senksan (307.500) sòlda toujou pare pou lagè. Yo te grannèg anpil, yo te toujou pare pou al goumen ak lènmi wa yo.
14 Uzziah gave to each soldier a shield, a spear, a helmet, a vest made of iron plates, a bow [and arrows], and a slingshot.
Ozyas bay tout moun nan lame a plak pwotèj, frenn, kas pou tèt yo, rad an plak fè, banza ak flèch, ak wòch pou gwo fistibal.
15 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.
Nan lavil Jerizalèm, li te gen yon enjenyè ki t'ap fè tout kalite machin pou voye flèch ak gwo wòch. Li fè mete machin sa yo nan fò won yo ak nan kwen miray ranpa yo. Yo t'ap nonmen non Ozyas byen lwen, paske Bondye te sitèlman ede l' li te vin gen anpil pouvwa.
16 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.
Men, lè li fin chita pouvwa l' byen chita, lògèy vire tèt li, sa lakòz pye l' chape. Li fè bagay Seyè a, Bondye li a, pa t' ba li dwa fè. Yon jou li antre nan Tanp Seyè a pou boule lansan sou lotèl lansan an.
17 Azariah the [Supreme] Priest and 80 other brave priests followed him into the temple.
Azarya, prèt la, antre dèyè l' ak katreven lòt prèt Seyè a, tout vanyan gason.
18 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]!”
Yo vin kanpe devan wa a, yo di l': -Ozyas, ou pa gen dwa boule lansan pou Seyè a. Se prèt yo ase, moun fanmi Arawon yo, yo mete apa pou fè sa. Wete kò ou kote yo mete apa nèt pou Seyè a. Paske sa w'ap fè a pa bon devan Bondye. Bondye p'ap kontan avè ou poutèt sa.
19 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.
Ozyas te kanpe ak lansanswa a nan men l' pou l' te ofri lansan an. Li move sou prèt yo. Lamenm, nan mitan Tanp Seyè a, toupre lansan an, devan tout prèt yo, yon move maladi po parèt sou fwon li.
20 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.]
Lè granprèt la, Azarya, ak lòt prèt yo gade l', yo wè maladi a parèt sou fwon li. Yo mete l' deyò. Li menm, li prese soti paske se Seyè a menm ki te pini l'.
21 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.
Wa Ozyas rete ak maladi po a sou li jouk li mouri. Li te rete nan yon ti kay apa pou kont li, jan yo fè l' pou moun ki gen maladi sa a. Yo enpoze l' mete pye l' nan kay Seyè a. Se Jotam, pitit gason l' lan, ki te reskonsab tout bagay nan palè a. Se li menm tou ki te gouvènen pèp la nan peyi a.
22 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.
Pwofèt Izayi, pitit Amòz la, te ekri tout rès istwa Ozyas la, depi premye jou li te moute wa a rive jouk dènye jou a.
23 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].
Lè Ozyas mouri, yo antere l' apa nan simityè wa yo. Poutèt vye maladi po li a, yo pa t' mete l' nan tonm wa yo. Se Jotam, pitit li a, ki moute wa nan plas li.
