26 ¹Ndipo anthu onse a Yuda anamsankha Uziya, wa zaka khumi ndi zisanu ndi chimodzi, kukhala mfumu m'malo mwa atate wake Amaziya. ²Iye anamanganso mzinda wa Eloti, naubwezera ku Yuda, mfumu itagona ndi makolo ake. ³Uziya anakhala mfumu ali ndi zaka khumi ndi zisanu ndi chimodzi, nalamulira zaka makumi asanu ndi ziwiri m'Yerusalemu. Amayi ake anali Yekoliya wa ku Yerusalemu. ⁴Iye anachita zabwino pamaso pa Atate wathu, monga momwe anachitira atate wake Amaziya. ⁵Iye anadzipereka kufunafuna Atate wathu m'masiku a Zekariya, amene anamphunzitsa kuopa Atate wathu; ndipo pamene anafunafuna Atate wathu, zinthu zinamuyendera bwino.

⁶Iye anapita kukamenyana ndi Afilisti, nagwetsa malinga a Gati, Yabineya, ndi Asidodi. Ndipo anamanga mizinda pafupi ndi Asidodi ndi pakati pa Afilisti. ⁷Atate wathu anamuthandiza polimbana ndi Afilisti, Aarabu a ku Guri-baala, ndi Ameuni. ⁸Aamoni anapereka msonkho kwa Uziya, ndipo mbiri yake inafika kumalire a Igupto, pakuti anakhala wamphamvu kwambiri. ⁹Uziya anamanga nsanja m'Yerusalemu pa Chipata cha Ngodya, Chipata cha Chigwa, ndi pa pogomoka pa linga, nazilimbitsa. ^a a v9 Pogomoka pa linga panali mbali yeniyeni yotuluka ya linga la mzinda wa Yerusalemu, yosiyana ndi zipata zotchulidwazo. ¹⁰Iye anamanga nsanja m'chipululu, nakumba maenje ambiri osungira madzi, pakuti anali ndi ng'ombe zambiri m'zigwa ndi m'chigwa. Ndipo anali ndi alimi ndi osamalira mpesa m'mapiri ndi m'minda yachonde, pakuti anakonda nthaka. ¹¹Uziya anali ndi gulu lankhondo la asilikali ophunzitsidwa, otuluka kupita kunkhondo m'magulu awo, owerengedwa ndi Yeiyeli mlembi ndi Maaseya mkulu wa ntchito, pansi pa Hananiya, mmodzi wa akuluakulu a nkhondo a mfumu. ¹²Chiwerengero chonse cha atsogoleri a mafuko amene ankalamulira ankhondo amphamvu chinali 2,600. ¹³Pansi pa ulamuliro wawo panali gulu lankhondo la 307,500, lophunzitsidwa kuchita nkhondo ndi mphamvu yaikulu, kuthandiza mfumu polimbana ndi adani ake. ¹⁴Uziya anakonzera gulu lonse lankhondo zishango, mikondo, zipewa zachitsulo, malaya ankhondo, mauta, ndi miyala ya legeni. ¹⁵M'Yerusalemu anapanga makina opangidwa ndi anthu aluso, oikidwa pa nsanja ndi pa ngodya kuti aziponya mivi ndi kugenda miyala ikuluikulu. Ndipo mbiri yake inafalikira kutali kwambiri, pakuti anathandizidwa modabwitsa mpaka anakhala wamphamvu.

Kunyada kwa Uziya ndi Kuwonongeka Kwake

¹⁶Koma pamene Uziya anakhala wamphamvu, mtima wake unanyada, zomwe zinabweretsa kuwonongeka kwake. Iye anachita zosakhulupirika kwa Atate wathu, nalowa m'Nyumba ya Atate wathu kuti afukize lubani pa guwa la lubani. ¹⁷Azariya wansembe analowa kumtsatira, pamodzi ndi ansembe a Atate wathu makumi asanu ndi atatu olimba mtima. ¹⁸Iwo anatsutsana ndi mfumu Uziya, nati, “Sikoyenera kwa inu, Uziya, kufukiza lubani kwa Atate wathu, koma kwa ansembe, zidzukulu za Aroni, amene anapatulidwa kufukiza lubani. Tulukani m'malo opatulika; mwachita zosakhulupirika, ndipo zimenezi sizidzakupatsani ulemu wochokera kwa Atate wathu.”

¹⁹Uziya anakwiya kwambiri. Ali ndi chofukizira m'manja mwake kuti afukize lubani, pamene ankawakalipira ansembe, matenda a khate oyipitsa anatuluka pa mphumi yake—pomwepo pamaso pa ansembe m'Nyumba ya Atate wathu, pafupi ndi guwa la lubani. ²⁰Pamene Azariya mkulu wa ansembe ndi ansembe onse anatembenukira kwa iye naona matenda pa mphumi yake, anamutulutsa mofulumira, ndipo iyenso anafulumira kutuluka, chifukwa Atate wathu anamukantha. ²¹Mfumu Uziya anakhala ndi matendawa mpaka imfa yake. Iye anakhala m'nyumba yapadera, akadali ndi matenda, wochotsedwa ku Nyumba ya Atate wathu. Mwana wake Yotamu ankayang'anira nyumba yaufumu, nalamulira anthu a m'dzikolo.

²²Ntchito zina za Uziya, kuyambira zoyamba mpaka zomaliza, mneneri Yesaya mwana wa Amozi analemba. ²³Uziya anagona ndi makolo ake, naikidwa m'manda pafupi ndi iwo m'munda woikamo mafumu, pakuti anati, “Anali ndi matenda a khate.” Ndipo mwana wake Yotamu analamulira m'malo mwake.
