¹Bonke abantu bakwaJuda bathatha u-Uziya owayeneminyaka eyishumi nesithupha, bambeka inkosi esikhundleni sikayise u-Amasiya.

²Wakha i-Eloti, walibuyisela kuJuda, inkosi isilele koyise.

³U-Uziya wayeneminyaka eyishumi nesithupha ekuqaleni kwakhe ukubusa, wabusa iminyaka engamashumi ayisihlanu nambili eJerusalema. Igama likanina kwakunguJekólia waseJerusalema.

⁴Wenza okulungile emehlweni kaJehova, njengalokho enzile uyise u-Amasiya.

⁵Wamfuna uNkulunkulu ezinsukwini zikaZakariya, owayenengqondo emehlweni kaNkulunkulu; zonke izinsuku zokumfuna kwakhe uJehova, uNkulunkulu wamphumelelisa.

⁶Waphuma walwa namaFilisti, wadiliza ugange lwaseGati, nogange lwaseJabine, nogange lwase-Ashidodi, wakha imizi ngase-Ashidodi naphakathi kwamaFilisti.

⁷UNkulunkulu wamsiza ekulweni namaFilisti, nakuma-Arabhi ayakhe eGur-Bahali, nakumaMehuni.

⁸Abantwana bakwa-Amoni bamnika u-Uziya izipho; igama lakhe laphumela ekungeneni kwaseGibithe; ngoba waziqinisa kakhulu.

⁹U-Uziya wakha imibhoshongo eJerusalema ngaseSangweni Legumbi, naseSangweni Lesigodi nasegumbini lomduli, waliqinisa.

¹⁰Wakha nemibhoshongo ehlane, wemba imithombo eminingi, ngokuba wayenemfuyo eningi emathafeni nasemathafeni; nabalimi nabasebenzi bezivini ezintabeni naseKarmeli, ngokuba wayethanda ukulima.

¹¹Ngaphezu kwalokho, u-Uziya wayenebutho lamaqhawe aphuma impi ngamaviyo, ngokwenani lombiko walo kaJehiyeli unobhala nenduna uMahaseya ngaphansi kokuqondisa kukaHananiya, omunye wezinduna zenkosi.

¹²Isibalo sonke sezinhloko zemindeni yamaqhawe anamandla sasiyizinkulungwane ezimbili namakhulu ayisithupha.

¹³Phansi kwesandla sabo kwakukhona impi eyizinkulungwane ezingamakhulu amathathu nesikhombisa namakhulu ayisihlanu, eyalwa ngamandla amakhulu ukusiza inkosi esitheni.

¹⁴U-Uziya wabalungisela kulo lonke ibutho izihlangu, nemikhonto, nezigqoko, nezihlangu, neminsalo, nezindwayimana zokujikijela amatshe.

¹⁵Wenza imishini eJerusalema, yaklanywa ngobuqili, ukuba ibe phezu kwemibhoshongo naphezu kwemibhoshongo, yokucibishela ngayo imicibisholo namatshe amakhulu. Igama lakhe laphumela kude; ngoba wasizwa ngokumangalisayo waze waba namandla.

¹⁶Kodwa lapho esenamandla, inhliziyo yakhe yaziphakamisa kwaze kwaba sekubhujisweni kwakhe; ngokuba waphambuka kuJehova uNkulunkulu wakhe, wangena ethempelini likaJehova ukuba ashise impepho e-altare lempepho.

¹⁷U-Azariya umpristi wangena emva kwakhe kanye naye abapristi bakaJehova abangamashumi ayisishiyagalombili, amadoda anamandla.

¹⁸Bamelana nenkosi u-Uziya, bathi kuye: “Akukhona okwakho, Uziya, ukushisela uJehova impepho, kodwa kungokwabapristi, amadodana ka-Aroni, abangcweliselwe ukushisa impepho; ngoba wenile; futhi akuyikuba yinkazimulo kaJehova uNkulunkulu.

¹⁹U-Uziya wathukuthela, ephethe umcengezi wokufaka impepho esandleni sakhe; ethukuthelele abapristi, kwavela uchoko ebunzini lakhe phambi kwabapristi endlini kaJehova ngase-altare lempepho.

²⁰U-Asriya umpristi omkhulu nabo bonke abapristi bambheka, bheka, wayenochoko ebunzini lakhe, bamkhiphela ngaphandle; yebo, naye washesha ukuphuma, ngokuba uJehova wayemshayile.

²¹Inkosi u-Uziya yayinochoko kwaze kwaba sosukwini lokufa kwayo, futhi wayehlala ezindlini eziningi ngoba yayinochoko; uJothamu indodana yakhe wayephezu kwendlu yenkosi, ahlulela abantu bezwe.

²²Ezinye izindaba zika-Uziya, ezokuqala nezokugcina, zalotshwa ngu-Isaya umprofethi, indodana ka-Amose.

²³U-Uziya wayeselala koyise, bammbela koyise emhlabathini wokumbela wamakhosi; ngokuba bathi: “Unochoko; uJothamu indodana yakhe waba yinkosi esikhundleni sakhe.”
