19 Wayesethukuthela u-Uziya; wayenomcengezi womlilo esandleni sakhe ukuba ashise impepho; esabathukuthelele abapristi, kwaqhamuka uchoko ebunzini lakhe phambi kwabapristi endlini kaJehova eceleni kwe-altare lempepho.
20 U-Azariya, umpristi omkhulu, nabo bonke abapristi bambuka; bheka, wayenochoko ebunzini lakhe; bashesha bamkhipha khona; naye waphuthuma ukuphuma, ngokuba uJehova wayemshayile.
21 U-Uziya, inkosi, wayesengonochoko kwaze kwafika usuku lokufa kwakhe, wahlala endlini eyahlukanisiweyo, lokhu engonochoko, ngokuba wanqunywa endlini kaJehova. UJothamu indodana yakhe wayephezu kwendlu yenkosi, ahlulela abantu bezwe.
22 Ezinye izindaba zika-Uziya, ezokuqala nezokugcina, zalotshwa ngu-Isaya umprofethi, indodana ka-Amose.
23 U-Uziya wayeselala koyise; bammbela koyise ngaphandle kwamathuna amakhosi, ngokuba bathi: “Ungonochoko.” UJothamu, indodana yakhe, waba yinkosi esikhundleni sakhe.
