< 2 Ljetopisa 27 >
1 Jotamu je bilo dvadeset i pet godina kad se zakraljio, a kraljevao je šesnaest godina u Jeruzalemu. Materi mu je bilo ime Jeruša, Sadokova kći.
Jotham was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem sixteen years. His mother’s name was Jerushah daughter of Zadok.
2 Činio je što je pravo u Jahvinim očima, sasvim kao otac mu Uzija; samo što nije ušao u Jahvin Hekal. Narod je i dalje bio pokvaren.
And he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, just as his father Uzziah had done. In addition, he did not enter the temple of the LORD. But the people still behaved corruptly.
3 Sagradio je Gornja vrata Doma Jahvina; i na Ofelskom zidu mnogo je gradio.
Jotham rebuilt the Upper Gate of the house of the LORD, and he worked extensively on the wall at the hill of Ophel.
4 Podigao je i gradove po Judejskoj gori, a u šumama dvorove i kule.
He also built cities in the hill country of Judah and fortresses and towers in the forests.
5 Vojevao je s kraljem Amonovih sinova i pobijedio ih. Amonovi su mu sinovi dali one godine sto srebrnih talenata i deset tisuća kora pšenice i deset tisuća kora ječma. Toliko su mu Amonovi sinovi priložili i druge i treće godine.
Jotham waged war against the king of the Ammonites and defeated them, and that year they gave him a hundred talents of silver, ten thousand cors of wheat, and ten thousand cors of barley. They paid him the same in the second and third years.
6 Tako se Jotam utvrdio, jer je uredio svoj život pred Jahvom, svojim Bogom.
So Jotham grew powerful because he ordered his ways before the LORD his God.
7 Ostala su Jotamova djela i svi njegovi ratovi i putovi zapisani u Knjizi o izraelskim i judejskim kraljevima.
As for the rest of the acts of Jotham, along with all his wars and his ways, they are indeed written in the Book of the Kings of Israel and Judah.
8 Bilo mu je dvadeset i pet godina kad se zakraljio. Kraljevao je šesnaest godina u Jeruzalemu.
He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem sixteen years.
9 Tada Jotam počinu kod otaca i sahraniše ga u Davidovu gradu. Na njegovo se mjesto zakralji sin mu Ahaz.
And Jotham rested with his fathers and was buried in the City of David. And his son Ahaz reigned in his place.
