And he did what is right in the eyes of the Lord, in accordance with all that his father 'Uzziyahu had done: only he entered not into the temple of the Lord. But the people acted still corruptly.

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

He it was that built the upper gate of the house of the Lord, and on the wall of the hill-fort he built much.

Moreover he built cities in the mountain of Judah, and in the forests he built castles and towers.

And he likewise fought with the king of the sons of 'Ammon, and prevailed against them. And the children of 'Ammon gave him in that same year one hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand kors of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. So much did the children of 'Ammon pay unto him again, both in the second year, and in the third.

So Jotham became strong; because he directed 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.

And the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all his wars, and his ways, lo, 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.

Five and twenty years old was he when he became king, and sixteen years did he reign in Jerusalem.
