¹Zvino vanhu vose vaJudha vakatora Uziya, akanga anamakore gumi namatanhatu, vakamuita mambo panzvimbo yababa vake Amazia.

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

²lye akavaka Eroti, akaridzosera kuna Judha, mambo avata namadzibaba ake.

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

³Uziya akanga anamakore gumi namatanhatu pakutanga kwake kubata ushe, akabata ushe paJerusaremu makore makumi mashanu namaviri; zita ramai vake rakanga riri Jekiria weJerusaremu.

³Sixteen 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.

⁴Iye akaita zvakarurama pamberi paJehovha, sezvose sezvakaita baba vake Amazia.

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

⁵Akashingaira kutsvaka Mwari namazuva aZekariya, akanga ane njere pakuziva zvaMwari; zvino pamazuva aakatsvaka Jehovha, Mwari akamukundisa.

⁵And 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.

⁶Akandorwa navaFirisitia, akaputsa rusvingo rweGati, norusvingo rweJabhine, norusvingo rweAshidhodhi; akavaka maguta panyika yeAshidhodhi napakati pavaFirisitia.

⁶And he went forth and warred against the Philistines, and brake down the wall of Gath, and the wall of Jabneh, and the wall of Ashdod, and built cities about Ashdod, and among the Philistines.

⁷Mwari akamubatsira pakurwa navaFirisitia, navaArabhia, vakanga vagere Guribhaari, nevaMeunimi.

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

⁸VaAmoni vakavigira Uziya zvipo; mbiri yake ikapararira kusvikira pavanopinda napo paEgipita; nekuti akasimba kwazvo.

⁸And the Ammonites gave gifts to Uzziah: and his name spread abroad even to the entering in of Egypt; for he strengthened himself exceedingly.

⁹Uziya akavakawo shongwe paJerusaremu pasuwo rekona, napasuwo romupata, napakudzoka korusvingo, akadzisimbisa.

⁹Moreover Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem at the corner gate, and at the valley gate, and at the turning of the wall, and fortified them.

¹⁰Akavakawo shongwe murenje, akacherawo matsime mazhinji, nekuti akanga ane zvipfuwo zvizhinji; napamapaniwo, napanyika yokumakomo; uye akanga ana varimi navasimi vamazambiringa pamakomo napaminda yakaworera, nekuti aida minda.

¹⁰Also he built towers in the desert, and digged many wells: for he had much 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.

¹¹Uyewo Uziya akanga ane hondo yavarwi, vaindorwa vachiita mapoka, sezvavakaverengwa naJeieri munyori, naMaaseya murairi, vakatungamirirwa naHanania mumwe wavakuru vamambo.

¹¹Moreover Uzziah had an host 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.

¹²Vose vakaverengwa kuvakuru vedzimba dzamadzibaba, ivo varume vaiva nesimba noumhare, vakasvika zviuru zviviri namazana matanhatu.

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

¹³Ivo vairaira hondo yakanga yakadzidziswa, vanhu vane zviuru zvina mazana matatu nezvinomwe namazana mashanu, vaigona kurwa nesimba guru, kuzobatsira mambo kurwa navavengi vavo.

¹³And 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.

¹⁴Uziya akavagadzirira, ivo vose vehondo, nhovo, namapfumo, nengowani, nenguvo dzamatare, nouta, namabwe okupfura nawo.

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

¹⁵Akaitawo paJerusaremu michini, yakaitwa navanhu vakangwara, ikaiswa pashongwe napamakona amasvingo, kuzoposhera nayo miseve namabwe makuru. Mbiri yake ikapararira; nekuti akabatsirwa zvinoshamisa, kusvikira asimba.

¹⁵And he made in Jerusalem engines, invented by cunning men, to be on the towers and upon the bulwarks, to shoot arrows and great stones withal. And his name spread far abroad; for he was marvelously helped, till he was strong.

¹⁶Asi akati asimba, moyo wake ukazvikudza, akazoita zvakashata, akatadzira Jehovha Mwari wake; nekuti akapinda patemberi yaJehovha kundopisa zvinonhuhwira paaritari yezvinonhuhwira.

¹⁶But 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.

¹⁷Ipapo mupristi Azaria akamutevera akapinda ana vapristi vaJehovha vana makumi masere, vaiva varume voumhare.

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

¹⁸Ivo vakadzivisa mambo Uziya, vakati kwaari, Nhandi Uziya, hazvifaniri kuti imwi mupisire Jehovha zvinonhuhwira, asi vapristi vanakomana vaAroni, vakatsaurwa kupisa zvinonhuhwira; budai panzvimbo tsvene, nekuti madarika; hamungakudzwi naJehovha Mwari nokuda kwechinhu ichi.

¹⁸And they withstood Uzziah the king, and said unto him, It appertaineth not unto thee, Uzziah, to burn incense unto 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 shall it be for thine honor from the LORD God.

¹⁹Ipapo Uziya akatsamwa kwazvo; zvino iye akanga akabata hadyana yezvinonhuhwira kuti apise zvinonhuhwira; zvino akati achakatsamwira vapristi, maperembudzi akabuda pahuma yake pamberi pavapristi muimba yaJehovha, kurutivi rwearitari yezvinonhuhwira.

¹⁹Then 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.

²⁰Zvino Azaria mupristi mukuru navapristi vose vakatarira kwaari, vakaona kuti wava namaperembudzi pahuma yake, vakachimbidzika kumubudisapo; kunyange naiye akachimbidzika kubuda, nekuti Jehovha akanga amurova.

²⁰And 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.

²¹Zvino mambo Uziya akava namaperembudzi kusvikira pazuva rokufa kwake, akagara ari oga muimba, anamaperembudzi; nekuti akadziviswa kupinda paimba yaJehovha; Jotamu mwanakomana wake akava mutariri weimba yamambo, akatongawo mhosva dzavanhu venyika.

²¹And Uzziah the king was a leper unto the day of his death, and dwelt in a several 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.

²²Zvino mamwe mabasa aUziya, okutanga nookupedzisira, akanyorwa nomuporofita Isaya mwanakomana waAmozi.

²²Now the rest of the acts of Uzziah, first and last, did Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, write.

²³Naizvozvo Uziya akavata namadzibaba ake, vakamuviga kumadzibaba ake mumunda wamarinda aiva amadzimambo; nekuti vakati, Una maperembudzi; Jotamu mwanakomana wake akamutevera paushe.

²³So 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.
