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.

Jotham was twenty and five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Jerushah the daughter of Zadok.

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 in the eyes of the LORD, according to all that his father Uzziah had done; howbeit he entered not into the temple of the LORD. And the people did yet corruptly.

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

He built the upper 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 hill-country of Judah, and in the forest he built castles and towers.

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.

He fought also with the king of the children of Ammon, and prevailed against them. And the children of Ammon gave him the same year a hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. So much did the children of Ammon render unto him, in the second year also, and in the third.

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

So Jotham became mighty, because he ordered his ways 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 Jotham, and all his wars, and his ways, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.

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 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 Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David; and Ahaz his son reigned in his stead.
