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 had begun to reign, and he reigned for sixteen years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Jerusha, 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.
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 Det var ham, der opførte Øvreporten i HERRENS Hus, og desuden byggede han 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 Han opførte Byer i Judas Bjerge og Borge og Taarne i Skovene.
Also, he built cities in the mountains of Judah, and fortresses and towers in the forests.
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 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 Saaledes blev Jotam stærk, fordi han vandrede troligt for HERREN sin Guds Aasyn.
And Jotham was strengthened, because he had directed his way before the Lord his God.
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 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, da han blev Konge, og han herskede 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 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 slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the City of David. And his son, Ahaz, reigned in his place.
