17 UAzariya umbingeleli wamlandela, enababingeleli bakaYehova abangamashumi asibhozo, amadoda anobukroti.
18 Bammela u-Uziya ukumkani, bathi kuye, Àsikokwakho, Uziya, ukuqhumisela kuYehova; kokwababingeleli, oonyana baka-Aron abángcwaliselwa ukuqhumisela; phuma engcweleni, ngokuba wènza ubumenemene; àkuluzuko oko kuwe phambi koYehova uThixo.
19 Wajala u-Uziya, ephethe ngesandla isiqhumiso sokuqhumisela. Uthe esabajalele ababingeleli, kwasuka kwaphuma iqhenqa ebunzini lakhe phambi kwababingeleli endlwini kaYehova, engasesibingelelweni sokuqhumisela.
20 UAzariya, umbingeleli omkhulu, nababingeleli bonke, babheka kuye, nanko eneqhenqa ebunzi, bamgxotha ngobungxamo khona, wangxama naye ukuphuma; ngokuba uYehova ubembethile.
21 Waye u-Uziya ukumkani eneqhenqa, kwada kwayimini yokufa kwakhe, wahlala endlwini eyodwa, eneqhenqa; ngokuba wanqanyulwa endlwini kaYehova. UYotam, unyana wakhe, wayiphatha indlu yokumkani, ebalawula abantu belizwe.
22 Ezinye izinto zikaUziya, ezokuqala nezokugqibela, wazibhala uIsaya unyana ka-Amotsi, umprofeti.
23 U-Uziya walala kooyise; bamngcwabela ngakooyise emhlabeni wokungcwaba wookumkani; ngokuba bathi, Úneqhenqa. UYotam, unyana wakhe, waba ngukumkani esikhundleni sakhe.
