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.

A son of twenty and five years [is] Jotham in his reigning, and sixteen years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Jerushah 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 doth that which is right in the eyes of Jehovah, according to all that Uzziah his father did; only, he hath not come in unto the temple of Jehovah; and again are the people doing corruptly.

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

He hath built the upper gate of the house of Jehovah, and in the wall of Ophel he hath built abundantly;

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

and cities he hath built in the hill-country of Judah, and in the forests he hath built palaces 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 hath fought with the king of the sons of Ammon, and prevaileth over them, and the sons of Ammon give to him in that year a hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand cors of wheat, and of barley ten thousand; this have the sons of Ammon returned to him 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.

And Jotham doth strengthen himself, for he hath prepared his ways before Jehovah 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 matters of Jotham, and all his battles, and his ways, lo, they are written on 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.

A son of twenty and five years was he in his reigning, and sixteen years he hath reigned in Jerusalem;

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

and Jotham lieth with his fathers, and they bury him in the city of David, and reign doth Ahaz his son in his stead.
