5 Yotamu anachita nkhondo ndi mfumu ya Aamoni ndipo anawagonjetsa. Chaka chimenecho Aamoni anapereka makilogalamu 3,400, matani 1,000 a tirigu ndiponso matani 1,000 a barele. Aamoni anabweretsa zinthu zomwezi chaka chachiwiri ndi chachitatu.
Pea naʻe tau ia mo e tuʻi ʻoe kakai ʻAmoni, pea naʻe mālohi ia kiate kinautolu. Pea naʻe ʻatu kiate ia ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻAmoni ʻi he taʻu pe ko ia ʻae taleniti siliva ʻe teau, mo e puha fua ʻoe uite ʻe taha mano, mo e taha mano ʻoe paʻale. naʻe ʻatu ʻae meʻa lahi pehē ni ʻi hono ua ʻoe taʻu, mo hono tolu.
6 Yotamu anakula mphamvu chifukwa anayenda molungama pamaso pa Yehova Mulungu wake.
Ko ia naʻe hoko ʻo mālohi lahi ʻa Sotami, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene vakai ki hono ngaahi hala ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ko hono ʻOtua.
7 Zina ndi zina zokhudza ulamuliro wa Yotamu, kuphatikizapo nkhondo zake zonse ndi zinthu zina zimene anachita, zinalembedwa mʼbuku la mafumu a Israeli ndi Yuda.
Pea ko hono toe ʻoe ngāue ʻa Sotami, mo ʻene ngaahi tau kotoa pē, mo ʻene ngaahi anga, vakai, kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli mo Siuta.
8 Iye anakhala mfumu ali ndi zaka 25 ndipo analamulira mu Yerusalemu kwa zaka 16.
Naʻe uofulu taʻu ia mo e taʻu ʻe nima ʻi heʻene kamata pule, pea naʻe pule ʻe ia ʻi he taʻu ʻe hongofulu ma ono ʻi Selūsalema.
9 Yotamu anamwalira ndipo anayikidwa mʼmanda mu Mzinda wa Davide. Ndipo Ahazi mwana wake analowa ufumu mʼmalo mwake.
Pea naʻe mohe ʻa Sotami mo ʻene ngaahi tamai, pea naʻa nau tanu ia ʻi he kolo ʻa Tevita: pea naʻe fetongi ia ʻi he pule ʻe hono foha ko ʻAhasi.
