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.
Twenty and five years old was Jotham when he became king, and sixteen years did he reign in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Yerushah, the daughter of Zadok.
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 what is right in the eyes of the Lord, in accordance with all that his father 'Uzziyahu had done: only he entered not into the temple of the Lord. But the people acted still corruptly.
3 Jotham nogero kendo Rangach Mamalo mar hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye bende nongʼinyore gi tich e ohinga e got matin mar Ofel.
He it was that built the upper gate of the house of the Lord, and on the wall of the hill-fort 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 mountain of Judah, and in the forests he built castles and towers.
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.
And he likewise fought with the king of the sons of 'Ammon, and prevailed against them. And the children of 'Ammon gave him in that same year one hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand kors of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. So much did the children of 'Ammon pay unto him again, both in the second year, and in the third.
6 Jotham nomedo bedo gi teko nikech ne owuotho maonge mibadhi e nyim Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasache.
So Jotham became strong; because he directed his ways 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.
And the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all his wars, and his ways, lo, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.
8 Ne en ja-higni piero ariyo gabich kane odoko ruoth kendo norito piny kuom higni apar gauchiel kodak Jerusalem.
Five and twenty years old was he when he became king, and sixteen years did he reign in Jerusalem.
9 Jotham nonindo moyweyo gi kwerene kendo noyike e Dala Maduongʼ mar Daudi. Kendo Ahaz ma wuode nobedo ruoth kare.
And Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David: and Achaz his son became king in his stead.
