Chronicles II 27
1 Joatham [was] twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name [was] Jerusa, daughter of Sadoc.
| كَانَ يُوثَامُ فِي الْخَامِسَةِ وَالْعِشْرِينَ مِنْ عُمْرِهِ حِينَ مَلَكَ، وَدَامَ حُكْمُهُ سِتَّ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَاسْمُ أُمِّهِ يَرُوشَةُ بِنْتُ صَادُوقَ. | ١ |
2 And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his father Ozias did: but he went not into the temple of the Lord. And still the people corrupted themselves.
| وَصَنَعَ كُلَّ مَا هُوَ قَوِيمٌ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ عَلَى غِرَارِ مَا نَهَجَ عَلَيْهِ أَبُوهُ عُزِّيَّا، إِلّا أَنَّهُ لَمْ يُغِرْ عَلَى هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ، إلّا أَنَّ الشَّعْبَ ثَابَرَ عَلَى ارْتِكَابِ الآثَامِ. | ٢ |
3 He built the high gate of the house of the Lord, and he built much in the wall of Opel.
| وَقَدْ قَامَ يُوثَامُ بِبِنَاءِ الْبَابِ الأَعْلَى لِهَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ، وَأَضَافَ كَثِيراً إِلَى سُورِ الأَكَمَةِ. | ٣ |
4 In the mountain of Juda, and in the woods, [he built] both dwelling-places and towers.
| وَبَنَى مُدُناً فِي جَبَلِ يَهُوذَا وَشَيَّدَ أَبْرَاجاً وَقِلاعاً فِي الْغَابَاتِ. | ٤ |
5 He fought against the king of the children of Ammon, and prevailed against him: and the children of Ammon gave him even annually a hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. These the king of the children of Ammon brought to him annually in the first and second and third years.
| وَحَارَبَ مَلِكَ عَمُّونَ وَهَزَمَهُ، فَدَفَعُوا لَهُ الْجِزْيَةَ فِي تِلْكَ السَّنَةِ: مِئَةَ وَزْنَةٍ (نَحْوَ ثَلاثَةِ آلافٍ وَسِتِّ مِئَةِ كِيلُو جِرَامٍ) مِنَ الْفِضَّةِ وَعَشَرَةَ آلافِ كِيسِ قَمْحٍ وَعَشَرَةَ آلافٍ مِنَ الشَّعِيرِ. وَقَدْ أَدَّى لَهُ الْعَمُّونِيُّونَ نَفْسَ الْجِزْيَةِ فِي السَّنَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ وَالثَّالِثَةِ. | ٥ |
6 Joatham grew strong, because he prepared his ways before the Lord his God.
| وَعَظُمَ نُفُوذُ يُوثَامَ لأَنَّهُ سَلَكَ بِأَمَانَةٍ فِي طَاعَةِ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِهِ. | ٦ |
7 And the rest of the acts of Joatham, and his war, and his deeds, behold, [they are] written in the book of the kings of Juda and Israel.
| أَمَّا بَقِيَّةُ أَخْبَارِ يُوثَامَ وَكُلُّ حُرُوبِهِ وَمُنْجَزَاتِهِ، أَلَيْسَتْ هِيَ مُدَوَّنَةً فِي كِتَابِ تَارِيخِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَيَهُوذَا؟ | ٧ |
| كَانَ يُوثَامُ فِي الْخَامِسَةِ وَالْعِشْرِينَ مِنْ عُمْرِهِ حِينَ تَوَلَّى الْمُلْكَ، وَدَامَ حُكْمُهُ سِتَّ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ. | ٨ |
9 And Joatham slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David: and Achaz his son reigned in his stead.
| ثُمَّ مَاتَ فَدَفَنُوهُ فِي مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ، وَخَلَفَهُ ابْنُهُ آحَازُ عَلَى الْمُلْكِ. | ٩ |
