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 when he became king, and he reigned in for 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.
He did what was right in the Lord's sight as his father Uzziah had done, and he did not enter the Lord's Temple as his father had. But the people still acted corruptly.
3 Sagradio je Gornja vrata Doma Jahvina; i na Ofelskom zidu mnogo je gradio.
Jotham rebuilt the Upper Gate of the Lord's Temple, and did extensive building work on the wall at Ophel.
4 Podigao je i gradove po Judejskoj gori, a u šumama dvorove i kule.
He built towns in the hill country of Judah, and fortresses and towers in the mountains and 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 fought with the king of the Ammonites and defeated them. The Ammonites gave him every year for three years one hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand cors of wheat and ten thousand of barley.
6 Tako se Jotam utvrdio, jer je uredio svoj život pred Jahvom, svojim Bogom.
Jotham grew powerful because he made sure what he did followed the ways of the Lord his God.
7 Ostala su Jotamova djela i svi njegovi ratovi i putovi zapisani u Knjizi o izraelskim i judejskim kraljevima.
The rest of what Jotham did, his wars and other events, were 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 when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for sixteen years.
9 Tada Jotam počinu kod otaca i sahraniše ga u Davidovu gradu. Na njegovo se mjesto zakralji sin mu Ahaz.
Jotham died and was buried in the City of David. His son Ahaz took over as king.
