Wakamkabili na kumwambia, “Siyo sawa kwako, Uzia, kumfukizia Bwana uvumba. Hiyo ni kazi ya makuhani, wazao wa Aroni, ambao wamewekwa wakfu ili kufukiza uvumba. Ondoka mahali patakatifu, kwa kuwa umekosa uaminifu nawe hutaheshimiwa na Bwana.”
2 Chronicles 26:18 in English
2 Chronicles 26:18 · Berean Standard Bible
They took their stand against King Uzziah and said, “Uzziah, you have no right to offer incense to the LORD. Only the priests, the descendants of Aaron, are consecrated to burn incense. Leave the sanctuary, for you have acted unfaithfully; you will not receive honor from the LORD God.”
Context
16Lakini baada ya Uzia kuwa na nguvu sana, majivuno yake yakamsababishia kuanguka. Alikosa uaminifu kwa Bwana Mungu wake, naye akaingia hekaluni mwa Bwana ili afukize uvumba kwenye madhabahu ya kufukizia uvumba. 17Azaria kuhani akiwa pamoja na makuhani wengine themanini wa Bwana wenye ujasiri wakamfuata huko ndani. 18Wakamkabili na kumwambia, “Siyo sawa kwako, Uzia, kumfukizia Bwana uvumba. Hiyo ni kazi ya makuhani, wazao wa Aroni, ambao wamewekwa wakfu ili kufukiza uvumba. Ondoka mahali patakatifu, kwa kuwa umekosa uaminifu nawe hutaheshimiwa na Bwana.” 19Uzia, ambaye alikuwa na chetezo mkononi mwake tayari kufukiza uvumba, akakasirika. Alipokuwa anawaghadhibikia makuhani mbele ya madhabahu ya kufukizia uvumba katika Hekalu la Bwana, ukoma ukamtokea penye kipaji chake cha uso. 20Azaria kuhani mkuu pamoja na makuhani wengine wote walipomtazama wakaona kwamba alikuwa na ukoma penye kipaji chake cha uso wakaharakisha kumtoa nje. Naam, hata yeye mwenyewe alikuwa anatamani kuondoka kwa sababu Bwana alikuwa amempiga.
