2 Chronicles 26
Maori Bible
26 Katahi te iwi katoa o Hura ka mau ki a Utia, kotahi tekau ma ono nei ona tau, a meinga ana hei kingi i muri i tona papa, i a Amatia.
2 Na tenei i hanga Eroto, a whakahokia ana ki a Hura, i muri i te moenga o te kingi ki ona matua.
3 Kotahi tekau ma ono nga tau o Utia i tona kingitanga, a e rima tekau ma rua ona tau i kingi ai ia ki Hiruharama; a ko te ingoa o tona whaea, ko Iekoria, no Hiruharama.
4 I tika tana mahi ki te titiro a Ihowa, i rite ki nga mea katoa i mea ai tona papa, a Amatia.
5 I rapua e ia ta te Atua i nga ra o Hakaraia, he tangata mohio tera i nga whakakitenga mai a te Atua. Na i nga ra i rapua ai e ia ta Ihowa, ka meinga ia e te Atua kia kake.
6 I haere ano ia ki te whawhai ki nga Pirihitini, a wawahia ana e ia te taiepa o Kata, me te taiepa o Iapane, me te taiepa o Aharoro; a hanga ana e ia etahi pa ki te whenua o Aharoro, ki roto hoki i nga Pirihitini.
7 A i awhinatia ia e te Atua i te whawhai ki nga Pirihitini, ki nga Arapi i noho ki Kurupaara, ratou ko nga Meunimi.
8 A homai ana e nga Amoni he hakari ki a Utia; paku ana hoki tona ingoa a tae noa ki te tomokanga ki Ihipa; na ka nui atu tona kaha.
9 I hanga ano e Utia etahi pourewa ki Hiruharama, ki te kuwaha i te kokonga, ki te kuwaha i te raorao, ki te koki o te taiepa, hanga ana e ia kia kaha.
10 I hanga ano e ia etahi pourewa ki te koraha, a keria ana etahi poka wai, he maha, he tini hoki ana kararehe; i te raorao ano, a i te mania: a he kaimahi whenua ana, he kaimahi waina i nga maunga, i nga mara whai hua hoki: he tangata ahu whenua h oki ia.
11 He ope ano ta Utia, he hunga whawhai; i haere a ropu ki te whawhai; ko te tokomaha, kei to ratou tauanga e Teiere kaituhituhi raua ko te kaiwhakahaere, ko Hanania, ko tetahi o nga rangatira a te kingi.
12 Ko te tokomaha katoa o nga upoko o nga whare o nga matua o nga toa marohirohi, e rua mano e ono rau.
13 Na, ko te ope hei arahi ma ratou, he mea i rakaia, e toru rau e whitu mano e rima rau, he hunga i kaha rawa ta ratou whawhai, hei tuara mo te kingi ki te hoariri.
14 Kua pae noa ake i a Utia he whakangungu rakau mo ratou puta noa i te ope, te tao, he potae, he pukupuku, he kopere, he kotaha piu kohatu.
15 I hanga ano e ia etahi mea ki Hiruharama, he mea whakaaro na nga tangata mohio, hei uta ki runga i nga pourewa, i nga pou koki, hei kopere i nga pere, i nga kohatu nunui hoki. A paku ana tona ingoa ki tawhiti; he hanga whakamiharo hoki tona awhi natanga a kaha noa ake ia.
16 Otiia i a ia ka kaha nei, ka whakakake tona ngakau, ka mahi i te kino, a takahia ana e ia ta Ihowa, ta tona Atua; i tomo hoki ia ki te temepara o Ihowa, ki te tahu whakakakara ki runga ki te aata whakakakara.
17 Na ka haere atu i muri i a ia a Ataria tohunga, ratou ko etahi tohunga o Ihowa, e waru tekau, he hunga maia.
18 Na ka turia atu e ratou a Utia, te kingi, a ka mea ratou ki a ia, E kore e tika mau, e Utia, te tahu whakakakara ki a Ihowa; engari ma nga tohunga, ma nga tama a Arona, i whakatapua nei hei tahu whakakakara. Haere atu i te wahi tapu kua he hoki koe; ehara hoki i te mea e whai kororia ai koe i te Atua, i a Ihowa.
19 Katahi ka riri a Utia; i tona ringa ano he tahu kakara hei tahu whakakakara; a, i a ia e riri ana ki nga tohunga, ka puta ake te repera i tona rae i te aroaro o nga tohunga i roto i te whare o Ihowa, i te taha o te aata tahu whakakakara.
20 A, ko te tahuritanga o te tino tohunga, o Ataria, ratou ko nga tohunga katoa ki a ia, nana, he repera tera kei tona rae, peia ana ia e ratou i reira; ko ia ano i hohoro te haere, no te mea kua pakia ia e Ihowa.
21 Na he repera a Utia te kingi a taea noatia te ra i mate ai, a noho ana i te whare motuhake, he repera hoki, he mea momotu atu hoki i te whare o Ihowa; a ko tana tama ko Iotama, te rangatira mo te whare o te kingi, hei kaiwhakarite mo te iwi o te whenua,
22 Na ko era atu meatanga a Utia, o mua, o muri, kua oti te tuhituhi e Ihaia poropiti tama a Amoho.
23 Heoi kua moe a Utia ki ona matua, a tanumia iho ki ona matua ki te mara i to nga kingi tanumanga; i mea hoki ratou, He repera ia; a ko tana tama, ko Iotama, te kingi i muri i a ia.

2 Chronicles 26
New International Version
Uzziah King of Judah(A)(B)
26 Then all the people of Judah(C) took Uzziah,[a] who was sixteen years old, and made him king in place of his father Amaziah. 2 He was the one who rebuilt Elath and restored it to Judah after Amaziah rested with his ancestors.
3 Uzziah was sixteen years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem fifty-two years. His mother’s name was Jekoliah; she was from Jerusalem. 4 He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, just as his father Amaziah had done. 5 He sought God during the days of Zechariah, who instructed him in the fear[b] of God.(D) As long as he sought the Lord, God gave him success.(E)
6 He went to war against the Philistines(F) and broke down the walls of Gath, Jabneh and Ashdod.(G) He then rebuilt towns near Ashdod and elsewhere among the Philistines. 7 God helped him against the Philistines and against the Arabs(H) who lived in Gur Baal and against the Meunites.(I) 8 The Ammonites(J) brought tribute to Uzziah, and his fame spread as far as the border of Egypt, because he had become very powerful.
9 Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem at the Corner Gate,(K) at the Valley Gate(L) and at the angle of the wall, and he fortified them. 10 He also built towers in the wilderness and dug many cisterns, because he had much livestock in the foothills and in the plain. He had people working his fields and vineyards in the hills and in the fertile lands, for he loved the soil.
11 Uzziah had a well-trained army, ready to go out by divisions according to their numbers as mustered by Jeiel the secretary and Maaseiah the officer under the direction of Hananiah, one of the royal officials. 12 The total number of family leaders over the fighting men was 2,600. 13 Under their command was an army of 307,500 men trained for war, a powerful force to support the king against his enemies. 14 Uzziah provided shields, spears, helmets, coats of armor, bows and slingstones for the entire army.(M) 15 In Jerusalem he made devices invented for use on the towers and on the corner defenses so that soldiers could shoot arrows and hurl large stones from the walls. His fame spread far and wide, for he was greatly helped until he became powerful.
16 But after Uzziah became powerful, his pride(N) led to his downfall.(O) He was unfaithful(P) to the Lord his God, and entered the temple of the Lord to burn incense(Q) on the altar of incense. 17 Azariah(R) the priest with eighty other courageous priests of the Lord followed him in. 18 They confronted King Uzziah and said, “It is not right for you, Uzziah, to burn incense to the Lord. That is for the priests,(S) the descendants(T) of Aaron,(U) who have been consecrated to burn incense.(V) Leave the sanctuary, for you have been unfaithful; and you will not be honored by the Lord God.”
19 Uzziah, who had a censer in his hand ready to burn incense, became angry. While he was raging at the priests in their presence before the incense altar in the Lord’s temple, leprosy[c](W) broke out on his forehead. 20 When Azariah the chief priest and all the other priests looked at him, they saw that he had leprosy on his forehead, so they hurried him out. Indeed, he himself was eager to leave, because the Lord had afflicted him.
21 King Uzziah had leprosy until the day he died. He lived in a separate house[d](X)—leprous, and banned from the temple of the Lord. Jotham his son had charge of the palace and governed the people of the land.
22 The other events of Uzziah’s reign, from beginning to end, are recorded by the prophet Isaiah(Y) son of Amoz. 23 Uzziah(Z) rested with his ancestors and was buried near them in a cemetery that belonged to the kings, for people said, “He had leprosy.” And Jotham his son succeeded him as king.(AA)
