Anden Krønikebog 27

1 Jotham var fem og tyve Aar gammel, der han blev Konge, og regerede seksten Aar i Jerusalem, og hans Moders Navn var Jerusa, Zadoks Datter.

Jotham was twenty-five years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for sixteen years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Jerusha, the daughter of Zadok.

2 Og han gjorde det, som var ret for Herrens Øjne, efter alt det, som Ussia, hans Fader, havde gjort, kun kom han ikke i Herrens Tempel; og Folket handlede endnu fordærveligt.

And he did what was right before the Lord, in accord with all that his father, Uzziah, had done, except that he did not enter into the temple of the Lord, and still the people were transgressing.

3 Han byggede den øverste Port paa Herrens Hus, han byggede og meget paa Ofels Mur.

He improved the high gate of the house of the Lord. And he built many things upon the wall of Ophel.

4 Tilmed byggede han Stæder paa Judas Bjerg, og i Skovene byggede han Slotte og Taarne.

Also, he built cities in the mountains of Judah, and fortresses and towers in the forests.

5 Han stred og imod Ammons Børns Konge og fik Overhaand over dem, og Ammons Børn gave ham det samme Aar hundrede Centner Sølv og ti Tusinde Kor Hvede og ti Tusinde Kor Byg; dette gav Ammons Børn ham atter baade i det andet og i det tredje Aar.

He fought against the king of the sons of Ammon, and he defeated them. And at that time, the sons of Ammon gave to him one hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand cor of wheat, and the same number of cor of barley. These things the sons of Ammon offered to him in the second and third year.

6 Saa blev Jotham befæstet; thi han beredte sine Veje for Herren sin Guds Ansigt.

And Jotham was strengthened, because he had directed his way before the Lord his God.

7 Men det øvrige af Jothams Handeler og alle hans Krige og hans Veje, se, de Ting ere skrevne i Israels og Judas Kongers Bog.

Now the rest of the words of Jotham, and all his battles and works, have been written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.

8 Han var fem og tyve Aar gammel, der han blev Konge, og regerede seksten Aar i Jerusalem.

He was twenty-five years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for sixteen years in Jerusalem.

9 Og Jotham laa med sine Fædre, og de begrove ham i Davids Stad; og hans Søn Akas blev Konge i hans Sted.

And Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the City of David. And his son, Ahaz, reigned in his place.
