Nuko abantu bose b'u Buyuda bimika Uziya wari ufite imyaka cumi n'itandatu, aba umwami mu cyimbo cya se Amaziya. Ni we wongeye kubaka Elati akahigarurira u Buyuda, nyuma y'aho umwami aruhukiye hamwe na ba sekuruza. Uziya yabaye umwami afite imyaka cumi n'itandatu, ategeka imyaka mirongo itanu n'ibiri i Yeruzalemu. Nyina yitwaga Yekoliya w'i Yeruzalemu. Yakoze ibyari bikwiye mu maso ya Data wa twese, nk'uko se Amaziya yari yabigenje. Yiyemeje gushaka Data wa twese mu minsi ya Zakariya, we wamwigishaga gutinya Data wa twese; kandi igihe cyose yashakaga Data wa twese, yagiraga amahirwe.

Yasohotse arwana n'Abafilisiti, asenya inkuta z'i Gati n'iza Yabune n'iza Ashidodi. Yubakira imijyi hafi ya Ashidodi no mu Bafilisiti. Data wa twese aramufasha kurwanya Abafilisiti n'Abarabu bo i Guri-Bāli n'Abamewuni. Abamoni batura Uziya umusoro, maze izina rye rimamara kugeza ku mupaka wa Misiri, kuko yari yarakomeye cyane. Uziya yubaka iminara i Yeruzalemu ku Irembo ry'Inguni no ku Irembo ry'Ikibaya no ahitwa Inguni, arayikomeza. ^a Yubaka iminara mu butayu, afukura amariba menshi, kuko yari afite amashyo manini mu migufi no mu kibaya. Yari afite abahinzi n'abahinga imizabibu mu misozi no mu masambu arumbuka, kuko yakundaga ubutaka. Uziya yari afite ingabo z'abasirikari bahuguwe bajyaga ku rugamba mu matsinda, babaruwe na Yeyeli umunyamabanga na Mahaseya umutware, bayobowe na Hananiya umwe mu bagaba b'ingabo z'umwami. Umubare wose w'abakuru b'imiryango bayoboraga intwari zikomeye wari ibihumbi bibiri na magana atandatu. Bayoboraga ingabo ibihumbi magana atatu na birindwi na magana atanu, zari zarahuguwe kurwana intambara n'imbaraga nyinshi, kugira ngo zifashe umwami kurwanya abanzi be. Uziya yahaye ingabo ze zose intwaro: ingabo zo kwirwanaho, n'amacumu, n'ingofero z'icyuma, n'imyenda y'icyuma yo kurwanisha, n'imiheto, n'amabuye y'imihumetso. I Yeruzalemu yakoze ibikoresho byahimbwe n'abahanga, bishyirwa ku minara no ku nguni kugira ngo birase imyambi kandi bijugunye amabuye manini. Izina rye rimamara hose, kuko yatabawe ku buryo butangaje kugeza ubwo yakomeye.

Ubwibone bwa Uziya n'Ukurimbuka Kwe

Uziya amaze gukomera, umutima we uririrarira, bimuviramo kurimbuka. Yahemukiye Data wa twese, yinjira mu ngoro ya Data wa twese ngo akosereze umubavu ku rutambiro rw'umubavu. Umutambyi Azariya aramukurikira yinjira, ari kumwe n'abatambyi ba Data wa twese b'intwari mirongo inani. Bahagarikiye Umwami Uziya baramubwira bati: “Uziya, kosereza Data wa twese umubavu si ibyawe, ahubwo ni iby'abatambyi, bene Aroni, bihariwe gukosereza umubavu. Sohoka mu cyumba cyera; wahemutse, kandi ibi ntabwo bizaguhesha icyubahiro gituruka kuri Data wa twese.”

Uziya ararakara cyane. Afashe icyotezo mu kuboko ngo akosereze umubavu, mu gihe yararakariraga abatambyi, indwara y'uruhu yanduza isesekara ku ruhanga rwe—aho imbere y'abatambyi mu nzu ya Data wa twese, iruhande rw'urutambiro rw'umubavu. Umutambyi mukuru Azariya n'abatambyi bose bamuhindukirira, babona indwara ku ruhanga rwe, baramusohokana ku ngufu, na we yihutira gusohoka, kuko Data wa twese yari yaramukubise. Umwami Uziya akomeza kurwara iyo ndwara kugeza apfuye. Yabaga mu nzu yihariye, agifite indwara, atandukanyijwe n'inzu ya Data wa twese. Umuhungu we Yotamu ni we wayoboraga ingoro y'umwami, ategeka abantu bo mu gihugu.

Ibindi bikorwa bya Uziya, uhereye ku bya mbere ukageza ku bya nyuma, byanditswe n'umuhanuzi Ezayi mwene Amotsi. Uziya aruhuka hamwe na ba sekuruza, bamuhamba iruhande rwabo mu murima w'imva wari uw'abami, kuko bavugaga bati: “Yari afite indwara y'uruhu.” Umuhungu we Yotamu aba umwami mu cyimbo cye.
