2 Weche Mag Ndalo 27

1 Jotham ne ja-higni piero ariyo gabich kane odoko ruoth kendo norito piny kuom higni apar gauchiel kodak Jerusalem. Min mare ne nyinge Jerusha nyar Zadok.

Joatham was five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Jerusa the daughter of Sadoc.

2 Notimo gima kare e nyim wangʼ Jehova Nyasaye mana kaka Uzia wuon mare nosetimo, to mopogore kod wuon mare ne ok odonjo e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye. Kata kamano ji nosiko katimo timbe maricho.

And he did that which was right before the Lord, according to all that Ozias his father had done, only that he entered not into the temple of the Lord, and the people still transgressed.

3 Jotham nogero kendo Rangach Mamalo mar hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye bende nongʼinyore gi tich e ohinga e got matin mar Ofel.

He built the high gate of the house of the Lord, and on the wall of Ophel he built much.

4 Nogero mier e gode matindo mag Juda kod kuonde moger motegno mag jolweny gi kuonde moger motingʼore gi malo mag ngʼicho e bunge.

Moreover he built cities in the mountains of Juda, and castles and towers in the forests.

5 Jotham notugo lweny gi ruodh jo-Amon mi noloyogi. E higano jo-Amon nochule fedha ma pekne dirom kilo alufu adek gi mia angʼwen kod shairi kilo alufu ariyo gi mia ariyo kod thowi ma pekne ne romo kilo alufu ariyo gi mia ariyo. Jo-Amon nomedo kelone gik marom kamano e higa mar ariyo kod mar adek.

Ho fought against the king of the children of Ammon, and overcame them, and the children of Ammon gave him at that time a hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of wheat, and as many measures of barley: so much did the children of Ammon give him in the second and third year.

6 Jotham nomedo bedo gi teko nikech ne owuotho maonge mibadhi e nyim Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasache.

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

7 Weche mamoko duto mag ndalo loch Jotham, kaachiel gi lwenje mane okedo kod gik moko duto mane otimo, ondiki e kitap ruodhi mag Israel kod Juda.

Now the rest of the acts of Joatham, and all his wars, and his works, are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Juda.

8 Ne en ja-higni piero ariyo gabich kane odoko ruoth kendo norito piny kuom higni apar gauchiel kodak Jerusalem.

He was five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem.

9 Jotham nonindo moyweyo gi kwerene kendo noyike e Dala Maduongʼ mar Daudi. Kendo Ahaz ma wuode nobedo ruoth kare.

And Joatham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David: and Achaz his son reigned in his stead.
