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 when he became king, and he reigned in for Jerusalem sixteen years. His mother's name was Jerushah, 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.
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 Han byggede den øverste Port paa Herrens Hus, han byggede og meget paa Ofels Mur.
Jotham rebuilt the Upper Gate of the Lord's Temple, and did extensive building work on the wall at Ophel.
4 Tilmed byggede han Stæder paa Judas Bjerg, og i Skovene byggede han Slotte og Taarne.
He built towns in the hill country of Judah, and fortresses and towers in the mountains and 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.
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 Saa blev Jotham befæstet; thi han beredte sine Veje for Herren sin Guds Ansigt.
Jotham grew powerful because he made sure what he did followed the ways of 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.
The rest of what Jotham did, his wars and other events, were 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 when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for sixteen years.
9 Og Jotham laa med sine Fædre, og de begrove ham i Davids Stad; og hans Søn Akas blev Konge i hans Sted.
Jotham died and was buried in the City of David. His son Ahaz took over as king.
