Cusiyaah, Boqorkii Yahuudah

26 Markaasaa dadkii Yahuudah oo dhammu waxay soo kaxaysteen Cusiyaah oo lix iyo toban sannadood jiray, oo isagay boqor uga dhigeen meeshii aabbihiis Amasyaah. Oo isna Eelood wuu dhisay oo dalka Yahuudah u soo celiyey markii boqorkii dhintay oo la seexday awowayaashiis dabadeed. Cusiyaah markuu boqor noqday wuxuu jiray lix iyo toban sannadood, oo laba iyo konton sannadoodna Yeruusaalem buu boqor ku ahaa, oo hooyadiis magaceedana waxaa la odhan jiray Yekaalyaah tii reer Yeruusaalem. Oo isna wuxuu sameeyey wax Rabbiga hortiisa ku qumman, oo wuxuu wada yeelay sidii aabbihiis Amasyaah yeelay oo kale. Oo wakhtigii Sekaryaah, oo waxgarasho u lahaa waxa la arko ee Ilaah, ayuu isu diyaariyey inuu Ilaah doondoonto, oo intuu Rabbiga doonayayna Ilaah baa isaga liibaaniyey. Markaasuu baxay oo reer Falastiin la dagaallamay, oo wuxuu dumiyey derbigii Gad, iyo derbigii Yabneh, iyo derbigii Ashdood, oo wuxuu magaalooyin ka dhisay waddankii reer Ashdood iyo reer Falastiin dhexdoodaba. Oo Ilaah baa isaga uga hiiliyey reer Falastiin, iyo kuwii reer Carbeed ee Guur Bacal degganaa, iyo reer Mecuuniimba. Oo reer Cammoonna waxay Cusiyaah siin jireen gabbaro, oo magiciisiina wuxuu ku faafay oo gaadhay xataa meesha Masar laga galo, maxaa yeelay, aad iyo aad buu u xoogaystay. Oo weliba Cusiyaah wuxuu Yeruusaalem ka dhisay oo xoogeeyey munaarado, oo waxay ku yiilleen iriddii geeska, iyo iriddii dooxada, iyo meesha derbigu ka leexdo. 10 Oo haddana wuxuu munaarado ka dhisay cidlada, oo ceelal badanna wuu qotay, maxaa yeelay, xoolo badan buu lahaa, oo waxayna u joogeen dhulka dooxada iyo dhulka bannaanka ahba, oo buuraha iyo beeraha barwaaqaysanba wuxuu ku lahaa rag beeraley ah iyo kuwa canabka xannaaneeya, maxaa yeelay, wuxuu jeclaa beeraha. 11 Oo weliba Cusiyaah wuxuu lahaa ciidan dagaalyahan ah oo dagaalka koox koox ugu baxa sidii ay ahayd tiradooda ay sameeyeen Yecii'eel oo ahaa karraanigii iyo Macaseeyaah oo sirkaalkii ahaa, sidii uu ku amray Xananyaah oo ahaa boqorka saraakiishiisa midkood. 12 Oo raggii xoogga badnaa, oo ahaa madaxdii qolooyinka oo dhan tiradoodu waxay ahayd laba kun iyo lix boqol oo nin. 13 Oo waxaa gacantooda ku jiray ciidan ah saddex boqol iyo toddoba kun iyo shan boqol oo nin, kuwaasoo xoog badan ku dagaallama, si ay boqorka uga caawiyaan cadowga. 14 Oo Cusiyaah wuxuu ciidankii oo dhan u diyaariyey gaashaammo iyo warmo, iyo koofiyado bir ah, iyo jubbado bir ah, iyo qaansooyin, iyo dhagaxyada la wadhfiyo. 15 Oo Yeruusaalemna wuxuu ku sameeyey makiinado ay soo hindiseen rag saanacyo ahu, oo alaabtaas waxaa la saari jiray munaaradaha iyo geesaska derbiyada, in iyaga laga gano fallaadho iyo dhagxan waaweynba. Oo weliba magiciisii aad iyo aad buu u sii faafay oo meel fog gaadhay, maxaa yeelay, ilaa uu xoogaystay si yaab leh ayaa loo caawiyey.

16 Laakiinse markuu xoogaystay ayuu isla weynaaday ilaa uu halligmay, oo wuxuu ku xadgudbay Rabbiga Ilaahiisa ah, waayo, macbudkii Rabbiga ayuu u galay inuu foox ku shido girgirihii fooxa. 17 Markaasaa waxaa isagii ka daba galay wadaadkii Casaryaah oo ay la socdaan siddeetan ah Rabbiga wadaaddadiisa, oo ah rag xoog badan. 18 Markaasay Boqor Cusiyaah hor istaageen, oo waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Cusiyaahow, adigu ma lihid inaad Rabbiga foox u shiddid, laakiinse waxaa leh wadaaddada reer Haaruun oo quduus looga dhigay inay foox shidaan; haddaba meesha quduuska ah ka bax, waayo, waad xadgudubtay, oo tanuna kuuma ahaan doonto sharaf Rabbiga Ilaaha ah xaggiisa kaaga timaada. 19 Markaasaa Cusiyaah cadhooday, oo gacantana waxaa ugu jiray idan uu doonayay inuu foox ku shido; oo markuu wadaaddadii u cadhooday ayaa baras wejiga ka soo baxay, isagoo wadaaddadii hor jooga oo guriga Rabbiga ku jira oo girgirihii fooxa dhiniciisa taagan. 20 Markaasaa Casaryaah oo ahaa wadaadka sare iyo wadaaddadii oo dhammu isagay fiiriyeen, oo waxay arkeen inuu wejigiisa baras ku leeyahay, markaasay haddiiba halkaas ka saareen, oo isaga qudhiisiina wuu isdedejiyey inuu baxo, maxaa yeelay, Rabbigaa wax ku dhuftay. 21 Oo Boqor Cusiyaahna tan iyo maalintii uu dhintay wuxuu ahaa barasle, oo isagoo baras qaba ayuu joogi jiray guri gaar ah, waayo, wuu ka go'ay gurigii Rabbiga, oo wiilkiisii Yootam ayaa reerka boqorka u talin jiray, isagoo dadkii dalka degganaa u gar qaybinaya. 22 Haddaba Cusiyaah falimihiisii kale, intii hore iyo intii dambeba, waxaa qoray Nebi Ishacyaah oo ahaa ina Aamoos. 23 Oo Cusiyaah wuu dhintay oo la seexday awowayaashiis, oo waxaa awowayaashiis lagula aasay berrinkii xabaalaha oo ay boqorradu lahaayeen, waayo, waxay isyidhaahdeen, Isagu waa barasle, oo meeshiisiina waxaa boqor ka noqday wiilkiis Yootam.

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. He was the one who rebuilt Elath and restored it to Judah after Amaziah rested with his ancestors.

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. He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, just as his father Amaziah had done. 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)

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. God helped him against the Philistines and against the Arabs(H) who lived in Gur Baal and against the Meunites.(I) The Ammonites(J) brought tribute to Uzziah, and his fame spread as far as the border of Egypt, because he had become very powerful.

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)
