< 2 Chronicles 27 >

1 Jotham was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem sixteen years. His mother’s name was Jerushah daughter of Zadok.
Yotam menjadi raja pada usia 25 tahun, dan ia memerintah di Yerusalem 16 tahun lamanya. Ibunya ialah Yerusa anak Zadok.
2 And he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, just as his father Uzziah had done. In addition, he did not enter the temple of the LORD. But the people still behaved corruptly.
Yotam menyenangkan hati TUHAN, seperti Uzia ayahnya. Hanya ia tidak membakar dupa di Rumah TUHAN, seperti yang dilakukan ayahnya. Sekalipun demikian, rakyat terus saja berbuat dosa.
3 Jotham rebuilt the Upper Gate of the house of the LORD, and he worked extensively on the wall at the hill of Ophel.
Yotamlah yang membangun Pintu Gerbang Utara di Rumah TUHAN, dan memperkuat tembok Yerusalem di daerah yang disebut Ofel.
4 He also built cities in the hill country of Judah and fortresses and towers in the forests.
Ia mendirikan kota-kota di pegunungan Yehuda dan benteng-benteng serta menara-menara di hutan-hutan.
5 Jotham waged war against the king of the Ammonites and defeated them, and that year they gave him a hundred talents of silver, ten thousand cors of wheat, and ten thousand cors of barley. They paid him the same in the second and third years.
Ia memerangi dan mengalahkan raja Amon bersama tentaranya, lalu memaksa orang Amon membayar upeti. Setiap tahun selama tiga tahun berturut-turut mereka harus membayar 3.400 kilogram perak, dua jenis gandum, masing-masing 1.000 ton.
6 So Jotham grew powerful because he ordered his ways before the LORD his God.
Yotam menjadi semakin berkuasa karena ia setia dan taat kepada TUHAN Allahnya.
7 As for the rest of the acts of Jotham, along with all his wars and his ways, they are indeed written in the Book of the Kings of Israel and Judah.
Peristiwa-peristiwa lain dalam pemerintahan Yotam, peperangan-peperangan dan siasat-siasatnya, semuanya sudah dicatat dalam buku Sejarah Raja-raja Israel dan Yehuda.
8 He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem sixteen years.
Yotam berumur 25 tahun ketika ia menjadi raja, dan ia memerintah di Yerusalem selama 16 tahun.
9 And Jotham rested with his fathers and was buried in the City of David. And his son Ahaz reigned in his place.
Ia meninggal dan dikuburkan di Kota Daud, lalu Ahas putranya menjadi raja menggantikan dia.
