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.

twenty-five years old, was Jotham when he began to reign, and, sixteen years, reigned he in Jerusalem, —and, the name of his mother, 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.

And he did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh, according to all that Uzziah his father had done, only he entered not into the temple of Yahweh, —though still were the people acting corruptly.

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

He, built the upper gate of the house of Yahweh, -and, on the wall of Ophel, built he extensively.

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

Cities also, built he, in the hill country of Judah, —and, in the thick woods, built he fortresses and towers.

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, also made war against the king of the sons of Ammon, and prevailed against them, and the sons of Ammon gave him, during that year, a hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of wheat, and, of barley, ten thousand, —this, did the sons of Ammon render him, both in the second year, and the third.

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

So Jotham strengthened himself, —for he fixed his ways before Yahweh 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.

But, the rest of the story of Jotham, and all his wars, and his ways, lo! there they are 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.

Twenty-five years old, was he when he began to reign, —and, sixteen years, reigned he 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 Ahaz his son reigned in his stead.
