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.

Yotam dii ɔhene no, na wadi mfirinhyia aduonu enum. Ɔdii ɔhene wɔ Yerusalem mfirinhyia dunsia. Na ne maame a ɔyɛ Sadok babaa no din de Yerusa.

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.

Ɔyɛɛ deɛ ɛsɔ Awurade ani sɛdeɛ nʼagya Usia yɛeɛ no. Yotam deɛ, wankɔ Awurade Asɔredan mu sɛdeɛ nʼagya yɛeɛ no. Nanso, ɔmanfoɔ no toaa wɔn nnebɔneyɛ so.

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

Yotam sane yɛɛ Atifi Ɛpono a ɛwɔ Awurade Asɔredan no ho, ɛnna ɔsane yɛɛ nnwuma bebree de siesiee ɔfasuo a ɛwɔ Ofel bepɔ so no.

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

Ɔkyekyeree nkuro wɔ Yuda mmepɔ asase so, sisii aban ne abantenten wɔ mmeammea a wɔadua nnua.

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.

Yotam tuu Amonfoɔ so sa, dii wɔn so nkonim. Mfeɛ mmiɛnsa a ɛdi ɛkan no deɛ, ɔgyee wɔn apeatoɔ a ɛyɛ dwetɛ tɔno 3.4, ayuo susukora ɔpeduonum ne atokoɔ susukora ɔpeduonum.

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

Ɔhene Yotam nyaa tumi kɛseɛ, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔde ahwɛyie yɛɛ ɔsetie maa Awurade, ne Onyankopɔn.

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.

Yotam ahennie ho nsɛm nkaeɛ a nʼakodie ne ne nneyɛeɛ ahodoɔ ka ho no, wɔatwerɛ agu Israel ahemfo ne Yuda ahemfo nwoma mu.

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

Ɔdii adeɛ no, na wadi mfirinhyia aduonu enum, na ɔdii ɔhene wɔ Yerusalem mfirinhyia dunsia.

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.

Yotam wuiɛ no, wɔsiee no Dawid kurom na ne babarima Ahas, na ɔdii nʼadeɛ sɛ ɔhene.
