4 Wenza okuthe tye emehlweni kaYehova, njengako konke awakwenzayo uAmatsiya uyise.
5 Wamquqela uThixo ngemihla kaZekariya, owamfundisayo ukumoyika uThixo; ngemihla yokumquqela kwakhe uYehova, uThixo wamenza wanempumelelo.
6 Waphuma walwa namaFilisti, waluqhekeza udonga lwaseGati, nodonga lwaseYabhene, nodonga lwaseAshdode, wákha imizi kummandla waseAshdode naphakathi kwamaFilisti.
7 UThixo wamnceda kumaFilisti, nakuma-Arabhi ahleli eGur-bhahali, nakumaMahan.
8 Ama-Amon amnika u-Uziya umnikelo. Igama lakhe laduma, lada laya kufika ekungeneni kweYiputa; ngokuba womelela wada wenyuka.
9 U-Uziya wákha iinqaba ezinde eYerusalem, esangweni lembombo, nasesangweni lomfula, nasembombeni yodonga, wazinqabisa ke.
10 Wákha iinqaba ezinde entlango, wemba amaqula amaninzi; ngokuba imfuyo yakhe yabe ininzi kwelentili nakwelamathafa. Ubenabalimi bomhlaba nabezidiliya ezintabeni naseKarmele; ngokuba wayethanda ukulima umhlaba.
