< 2 Chronicles 27 >
1 Jotham was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jerushah the daughter of Zadok.
Jotam gbara iri afọ abụọ na ise mgbe e mere ya eze. Ọ chịrị afọ iri na isii na Jerusalem. Nne ya bụ Jerusha nwa Zadọk.
2 He did that which was right in the LORD’s eyes, according to all that his father Uzziah had done. However he did not enter into the LORD’s temple. The people still acted corruptly.
O mere ihe ziri ezi nʼanya Onyenwe anyị dịka nna ya Ụzaya mere, ma o meghị dịka nna ya, ọ banyeghị nʼime ụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị. Ma ndị mmadụ gara nʼihu na-eme omume ha rụrụ arụ.
3 He built the upper gate of the LORD’s house, and he built much on the wall of Ophel.
Jotam wugharịrị Ọnụ Ụzọ Ama nke dị Elu nke ụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị, rụọkwa ọtụtụ ọrụ nʼelu mgbidi nke ugwu Ofel.
4 Moreover he built cities in the hill country of Judah, and in the forests he built fortresses and towers.
O wuru ọtụtụ obodo nʼala ugwu ugwu Juda, wuokwa ọtụtụ ebe e wusiri ike na ụlọ elu nche nʼoke ọhịa.
5 He also fought with the king of the children of Ammon, and prevailed against them. The children of Ammon gave him the same year one hundred talents of silver, ten thousand cors of wheat, and ten thousand cors of barley. The children of Ammon also gave that much to him in the second year, and in the third.
Jotam busoro eze ndị Amọn agha, meriekwa ha. Nʼafọ ahụ, ndị Amọn bunyere ya narị talenti ọlaọcha, na bushel ọka iri puku na puku abụọ, na bushel ọka balị iri puku na puku abụọ.
6 So Jotham became mighty, because he ordered his ways before the LORD his God.
Jotam ghọrọ eze dị ike nʼihi na ọ kpachara anya debe iwu Onyenwe anyị Chineke ya.
7 Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all his wars and his ways, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.
Ihe ndị ọzọ niile nʼoge ọchịchị Jotam, tinyere ihe gbasara agha niile ọ lụrụ, na ihe ndị ọzọ niile nke o mere, e deturu ha nʼakwụkwọ akụkọ ndị eze Izrel na Juda.
8 He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem.
Ọ gbara iri afọ abụọ na ise mgbe e mere ya eze. Ọ chịrị afọ iri na isii na Jerusalem.
9 Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in David’s city; and Ahaz his son reigned in his place.
Jotam sooro ndị nna nna ya dina nʼọnwụ, e lie ya nʼobodo Devid. Ehaz nwa ya nwoke ghọrọ eze nʼọnọdụ ya.
