Anden Krønikebog 27
1 Jotam var fem og tyve Aar gammel, da han blev Konge, og han herskede seksten Aar i Jerusalem. Hans Moder hed Jerusja og var Datter af Zadok.
Jotham was twenty-five years old when he became king; and he was ruling in Jerusalem for sixteen years; and his mother's name was Jerushah, the daughter of Zadok.
2 Han gjorde, hvad der var ret i HERRENS Øjne, ganske som hans Fader Uzzija havde gjort, men han gik ikke ind i HERRENS Helligdom. Men Folket gjorde fremdeles, hvad fordærveligt var.
He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, as his father Uzziah had done; but he did not go into the Temple of the Lord. And the people still went on in their evil ways.
3 Det var ham, der opførte Øvreporten i HERRENS Hus, og desuden byggede han meget paa Ofels Mur.
He put up the higher doorway of the house of the Lord, and did much building on the wall of the Ophel.
4 Han opførte Byer i Judas Bjerge og Borge og Taarne i Skovene.
In addition, he made towns in the hill-country of Judah, and strong buildings and towers in the woodlands.
5 Han førte Krig med Ammoniternes Konge og overvandt dem, saa Ammoniterne det Aar maatte svare ham 100 Talenter Sølv, 10 000 Kor Hvede og 10 000 Kor Byg i Skat; og lige saa meget svarede Ammoniterne ham det andet og tredje Aar.
He went to war with the king of the children of Ammon and overcame them. That year, the children of Ammon gave him a hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of grain and ten thousand measures of barley. And the children of Ammon gave him the same amount the second year and the third.
6 Saaledes blev Jotam stærk, fordi han vandrede troligt for HERREN sin Guds Aasyn.
So Jotham became strong, because in all his ways he made the Lord his guide.
7 Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Jotam, alle hans Krige og Foretagender, staar jo optegnet i Bogen om Israels og Judas Konger.
Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all his wars and his ways, are recorded in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.
8 Han var fem og tyve Aar gammel, da han blev Konge, og han herskede seksten Aar i Jerusalem.
He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he was ruling in Jerusalem for sixteen years.
9 Saa lagde Jotam sig til Hvile hos sine Fædre, og man jordede ham i Davidsbyen; og hans Søn Akaz blev Konge i hans Sted.
And Jotham went to rest with his fathers, and they put his body into the earth in the town of David; and Ahaz his son became king in his place.
