2 Kronická 27
1 V pětmecítma letech byl Jotam, když počal kralovati, a šestnáct let kraloval v Jeruzalémě. Jméno matky jeho Jerusa dcera Sádochova.
Jotham was 25 years old when he became the king of Judah. He ruled from Jerusalem for 16 years. His mother was Jerushah, the daughter of [the priest] Zadok.
2 Kterýž činil to, což pravého bylo před očima Hospodinovýma, podlé všeho, což činil Uziáš otec jeho, kromě že nevšel do chrámu Hospodinova, a lid ještě porušený byl.
Jotham did many things that pleased Yahweh like his father Uzziah did. He obeyed Yahweh and did things that are right. He did many things that his father Uzziah had done, but he did not burn incense in the temple, like his father had done. However, the people of Judah continued to sin against Yahweh.
3 On ustavěl bránu domu Hospodinova hořejší, a na zdi Ofel mnoho stavěl.
Jotham’s [workers] rebuilt the Upper Gate of the temple, and they did a lot of work to repair the wall near Ophel [Hill].
4 Nadto vystavěl i města na horách Judských, a v lesích zdělal zámky a věže.
They built towns in the hills of Judah, and they built forts and defense towers in the forests.
5 On také bojoval s králem synů Ammon, a zmocnil se jich. I dali mu synové Ammon toho roku sto centnéřů stříbra, a deset tisíc měr pšenice, a ječmene deset tisíců. Tolikéž dali mu synové Ammon i léta druhého i třetího.
During the time that Jotham was the king of Judah, his army attacked and defeated the army of the Ammon people-group. Then, every year during the next three years, he required the Anmon people-group to pay to him four tons of silver, 60,000 bushels of wheat, and 60,000 bushels of barley.
6 A tak zsilil se Jotam; nebo nastrojil cesty své před Hospodinem Bohem svým.
Jotham faithfully obeyed Yahweh his God, and as a result he became a very powerful king.
7 O jiných pak věcech Jotamových, a o všech válkách i cestách jeho, zapsáno jest v knize o králích Izraelských a Judských.
A record of everything else that Jotham did during the time that he was the king, including the wars that his army fought, is written in the scroll called ‘[the History of] the Kings of Israel and Judah’.
8 V pětmecítma letech byl, když kralovati začal, a šestnáct let kraloval v Jeruzalémě.
After Jotham had ruled Judah for 16 years, he died when he was 41 years old.
9 I usnul Jotam s otci svými, a pochovali jej v městě Davidově, a kraloval Achas syn jeho místo něho.
He was buried in Jerusalem, and his son Ahaz became the king [of Judah].
