< 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 ٱبْنَ خَمْسٍ وَعِشْرِينَ سَنَةً حِينَ مَلَكَ، وَمَلَكَ سِتَّ عَشَرَةَ سَنَةً فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَٱسْمُ 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.
وَعَمِلَ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمَ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا عَمِلَ عُزِّيَّا أَبُوهُ، إِلَّا أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَدْخُلْ هَيْكَلَ ٱلرَّبِّ. وَكَانَ ٱلشَّعْبُ يُفْسِدُونَ بَعْدُ.٢
3 He built the high gate of the house of the Lord, and he built much in the wall of Opel.
هُوَ بَنَى ٱلْبَابَ ٱلْأَعْلَى لِبَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَبَنَى كَثِيرًا عَلَى سُورِ ٱلْأَكَمَةِ.٣
4 In the mountain of Juda, and in the woods, [he built] both dwelling-places and towers.
وَبَنَى مُدُنًا فِي جَبَلِ يَهُوذَا، وَبَنَى فِي ٱلْغَابَاتِ قِلَعًا وَأَبْرَاجًا.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.
وَهُوَ حَارَبَ مَلِكَ بَنِي عَمُّونَ وَقَوِيَ عَلَيْهِمْ، فَأَعْطَاهُ بَنُو عَمُّونَ فِي تِلْكَ ٱلسَّنَةِ مِئَةَ وَزْنَةٍ مِنَ ٱلْفِضَّةِ، وَعَشَرَةَ آلَافِ كُرِّ قَمْحٍ، وَعَشَرَةَ آلَافٍ مِنَ ٱلشَّعِيرِ. هَذَا مَا أَدَّاهُ لَهُ بَنُو عَمُّونَ، وَكَذَلِكَ فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلثَّانِيَةِ وَٱلثَّالِثَةِ.٥
6 Joatham grew strong, because he prepared his ways before the Lord his God.
وَتَشَدَّدَ يُوثَامُ لِأَنَّهُ هَيَّأَ طُرُقَهُ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ 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.
وَبَقِيَّةُ أُمُورِ يُوثَامَ وَكُلُّ حُرُوبِهِ وَطُرُقِهِ، هَاهِيَ مَكْتُوبَةٌ فِي سِفْرِ مُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَيَهُوذَا.٧
8
كَانَ ٱبْنَ خَمْسٍ وَعِشْرِينَ سَنَةً حِينَ مَلَكَ، وَمَلَكَ سِتَّ عَشَرَةَ 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 ٱضْطَجَعَ يُوثَامُ مَعَ آبَائِهِ فَدَفَنُوهُ فِي مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ، وَمَلَكَ آحَازُ ٱبْنُهُ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ.٩
