2 Khokhuen 27

1 Jotham te kum kul kum nga a lo ca vaengah manghai tih Jerusalem ah kum hlai rhuk manghai. A manu ming tah Zadok canu Jerusha ni.

Joatham was five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Jerusa the daughter of Sadoc.

2 A napa Uzziah kah a saii bang boeih la BOEIPA mikhmuh ah a thuem saii cakhaw BOEIPA bawkim la a kun pawt dongah pilnam koep poci.

And he did that which was right before the Lord, according to all that Ozias his father had done, only that he entered not into the temple of the Lord, and the people still transgressed.

3 Anih loh a so BOEIPA im kah vongka te a thoh tih Ophel vongtung dongah a cungkuem la a sak.

He built the high gate of the house of the Lord, and on the wall of Ophel he built much.

4 Judah tlang ah khopuei a suen tih thingkho ah rhalmah im neh rhaltoengim a sak.

Moreover he built cities in the mountains of Juda, and castles and towers in the forests.

5 Anih loh Ammon koca kah manghai te a vathoh thil tih amih te a buem. Te dongah anih te Ammon koca loh kum khat ah cak talent yakhat, cang kore thawng rha, cangtun thawng rha a paek. Te tlam te Ammon ca rhoek loh anih te kum bae ah khaw, a kum thum dongah khaw a sah uh.

Ho fought against the king of the children of Ammon, and overcame them, and the children of Ammon gave him at that time a hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of wheat, and as many measures of barley: so much did the children of Ammon give him in the second and third year.

6 A Pathen BOEIPA mikhmuh ah a longpuei a cikngae sak dongah Jotham khaw a thaa caang.

And Joatham was strengthened, because he had his way directed before the Lord his God.

7 Te dongah kah ol noi khaw, a caemtloek boeih neh a longpuei khaw, Israel neh Judah manghai rhoek kah cabu dongah a daek uh coeng ke.

Now the rest of the acts of Joatham, and all his wars, and his works, are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Juda.

8 A manghai vaengah kum kul neh kum nga lo ca tih Jerusalem ah kum hlai rhuk manghai.

He was five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem.

9 Te dongah te a napa rhoek taengla a khoem uh vaengah anih te David khopuei ah a up uh. Te phoeiah a capa Ahaz te anih yueng la manghai.

And Joatham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David: and Achaz his son reigned in his stead.
