2 Chronicles 27

1 Jotham was twenty-five years old when he became king; and he was ruling in Jerusalem for sixteen years; and his mother's name was Jerushah, the daughter of Zadok.

Jotham var fem och tjugu åra gammal, då han Konung vardt, och regerade i sexton år i Jerusalem; hans moder het Jerusa, Zadoks dotter.

2 He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, as his father Uzziah had done; but he did not go into the Temple of the Lord. And the people still went on in their evil ways.

Och han gjorde det Herranom väl behagade, såsom hans fader Ussia gjort hade; undantagno, att han icke gick i Herrans tempel. Och folket bar sig ännu illa åt.

3 He put up the higher doorway of the house of the Lord, and did much building on the wall of the Ophel.

Han byggde den höga porten i Herrans hus, och uppå muren Ophel byggde han mycket;

4 In addition, he made towns in the hill-country of Judah, and strong buildings and towers in the woodlands.

Och byggde städer på Juda berg, och i skogomen byggde han slott och torn.

5 He went to war with the king of the children of Ammon and overcame them. That year, the children of Ammon gave him a hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of grain and ten thousand measures of barley. And the children of Ammon gave him the same amount the second year and the third.

Och han stridde med Ammons barnas Konung; och han vardt dem öfvermägtig; så att Ammons barn gåfvo honom i de samma årena hundrade centen er silfver, tio tusend corar hvete, och tiotusend corar bjugg; så mycket gåfvo ock Ammons barn honom i de andra och tredje årena.

6 So Jotham became strong, because in all his ways he made the Lord his guide.

Alltså vardt Jotham mägtig; ty han skickade sina vägar för Herranom sinom Gud.

7 Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all his wars and his ways, are recorded in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.

Hvad nu mer af Jotham sägande är, och alla hans strider, och hans vägar, si, det är skrifvet i Israels och Juda Konungars bok.

8 He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he was ruling in Jerusalem for sixteen years.

Fem och tjugu åra gammal var han, då han Konung vardt; och regerade i sexton år i Jerusalem.

9 And Jotham went to rest with his fathers, and they put his body into the earth in the town of David; and Ahaz his son became king in his place.

Och Jotham afsomnade med sina fader; och de begrofvo honom i Davids stad. Och hans son Ahas vardt Konung i hans stad.
